I am trying to forward Google Smart Home events to my Dialogflow fulfillment service. I am creating 3 intents with no input or output contexts set, no training phases and with the following events:
action_devices_SYNCaction_devices_EXECUTEaction_devices_QUERYSee also https://i.sstatic.net/pvkGj.jpg.
Is that correct? I can't find confirmation in the docs, so that's why I am asking it here.
reasoning
The reason why I asked about connecting Google Smart Home with my Dialogflow endpoint is that I already have that endpoint in place. I hoped I could do something similar as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/49119822/9038652, where I bound a Dialogflow intent to the actions_intent_OPTION event.
There isn't a reason to use Dialogflow to do smart home fulfillment, and it's actually not possible.
Dialogflow is great for taking unstructured user utterances and making sense of them. However, with smart home, Google handles all of the NLU and parsing. You, as the integration, will just receive a JSON request and will be expected to provide a JSON response.
So you will skip using Dialogflow and instead just build your webhook to parse the intents and give a valid response.
Dialogflow's service does not have a way to take in an intent name and expose a single endpoint URL that can be called by the Google Assistant. It also does not have integration with an OAuth server to do the account linking step.
