Can google assistant ask an specific queestion hourly? - actions-on-google

I want to create an app that every hour asks me "What are you doing?" through voice notification.
There are a few ways I can respond, "Working", "Playing", etc.
Then it can log it on my calendar. If this is possible, what are the correct terms that are used to describe this? So I can search for documentation.
Would like to build this with Google Actions https://developers.google.com/actions/ and with Google Home

You can try the Push notifications feature to trigger the wanted intent where you will prompt the user for the type of activity he/she is doing.
The user can respond and then your webhook can take care of logging to your activity to your calendar using the Calendar API (Assuming you are referring to Google Calendar)
Note that this feature is currently in Developer preview and will not work in a production environment. Also it is only intended for Google Assistant on mobile devices. Google Home devices do not support any push notification features at the moment.

beacon based notification on Andriod without Nearby API

Google has discontinued Near By API by the end of 2018. Android OS had built in support for Near by API and hence without a custom APP , the device was able to capture the beacon based push notifications.My requirement is as follows:
With Digital loyalty pass on Google wallet, when the end customer enters the vicinity of a beacon , the device should receive offers as push notification. There is no custom app developed . With out a custom app , how to receive the push notifications with just the Digital loyalty pass on google wallet? . Please help with a solution.
Please refer https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/10/discontinuing-support-for-android.html
Unfortunately after Google Nearby was discontinued, there is no longer a solution to send notifications to a user on BLE detection without a third party app installed to do so.
The only workaround is to develop a third party app to do the detecting and notifying. Keep in mind that the way Google implemented this was with the Google Play Services app, so an app was still required to send the notifications. (It was just an app that was installed by default on most phones sold outside of mainland China.). And it didn't even work unless a user had opted in, something that few ever did.
Google's Nearby discontinuation basically says Google is no longer willing to use their app to send notifications for you. So you must use your own app or the app of a different partner.
There are other third party apps that track a user's location and send notifications -- such apps are often popular "free" games. But while the install base of these apps can be in the hundreds of millions they do not approach the install base of Google Play Services. These apps can also be a bit "shady" about their practices, and to my knowledge do not have a public policy about how you can get them to send notifications for you or let users opt-in or opt-out.

is there any way to invoke google home or voice assistant automatically using scheduled database input or using a google action?

I want to set a reminder using google calendar and want to trigger the google home without invoking google home using voice. Is it possible to integrate with a database for scheduling tasks or using a google action?
Not... quite...
Although you can send Daily Updates or one-time scheduled Notifications through your Action, these will not go to Smart Speakers - primarily they will show up as notifications on a mobile device.

Is it possible to test Google Smart Home in Google Console during developments?

I am experimenting with Google Smart Home. My end goal is to receive home control events, such as Turn the lights in the living room on, in my Dialogflow fulfillment service.
I am wondering if it is possible to develop and test Google Smart Home without actual devices. That is, it would be great if I could configure a Google HomeGraph configuration via browser and verify Google Smart Home actions via the console (console.actions.google.com).
Is this possible and practical?
No, currently it isn't possible to test smart home devices with the web-based Simulator. You will need to add the device using the Google Home app on your phone and can then test it using the phone's Assistant.
As an aside, you also can't develop it using Dialogflow directly - you'll need to use the Action SDK. (You can relay it to Dialogflow if you want - but since you just get events and not conversation, it really doesn't help you much.)

I want an android app that sync with watsapp or SMS messenger and automatically response to the user/client

I am working for a non profit organisation and Our Project needs an android app (to develop a brief intervention that uses mobile text/voice messaging to address
problematic drinking among adolescents.) This app should woks as a bidirectional and better if it collaborate with watsapp. so that we will get responses quickly via watsapp and automatically our apps should tell questions base on
his/her answer. Also it should store conversation data into the database.
You can start from the friendly chat app based on Firebase. Take a look here https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-android/#0 . For the "auto reply" functionality you will have to write your own cloud function. Read some docs about that

Actions on Google - set Activity Controls

I've got an Actions on Google application which runs when shared with another Google account but doesn't run for the application owner.
I keeps asking me to:
Please turn on Voice & Audio Activity, Web & App Activity, and Device Information permissions for your Google Account.
Voice, Audio, Web & App activity are turned on for my account. Any clues?
Thanks
