Is that possible to connect google assistant with chromecast like netflix.
suppose i have already developed an app for google assistant, app name is test and suppose i have something in the test app to show like report.
Is this possible that,I would say hey google, show report then. It should automatically search chromecast devices nearby and connect to near by chromecast device then show the report on that connected chromecast device.
Yes, this is possible. Since August 2018, voice commands officially work with the following apps:
Netflix
CW
CBS All Access
HBO Now
YouTube
YouTube TV
Viki
Crackle
Red Bull
Starz
Google Play Movies & TV (for videos you’ve already rented or purchased)
To use voice commands with Chromecast, you need a device with Google Assistant (such as the Google Home or Google Home Mini smart speaker), plus a phone or tablet with the Google Assistant app installed. Voice commands also work with some smart TVs that have Chromecast built in (see Google’s website for a list of supported sets). Check this article for more details.
While casting from other sources works, an action is not able to provide content that can be casted to other devices.

After deleting all activity associated with the Google account linked to the AIY Voice Kit Pi project, the Assistant no longer responds to voice input queries. Now the Assistant responds, "Actually there are some basic settings that need your permission first. Just go into the Google Assistant settings on your phone for more details." I did not use a phone for initial setup of the AIY Voice Kit project. Why would I need to use a phone now? Is there a workaround that I can do using the web interface of my Google account?
You should be able to follow these instructions through the web to enable certain permissions in order to use the Assistant.
Open the Activity Controls page
Ensure the following toggles are on:
Web & App Activity
In addition, be sure to select the Include Chrome browsing history and activity from websites and apps that use Google services checkbox.
Device Information
Voice & Audio Activity
If you are using a corporate managed Google account with the Google Assistant SDK ask your administrator to turn on Web & App Activity (for everyone or just your account). Ours was turned off for everyone which prevents an individual user from selecting the "Include Chrome browsing history and activity from websites and apps that use Google services" checkbox.
Google Admin G-Suite
I try to build a Google Assistant app with Dialogflow.
And it works, I can test the "testversion" of my assistant app on my mobile phone too. It works as expected.
But unfortunately if I use my android wear, it tells me that this app is not supported on this device.
On Dialogflow, I couldn't find a option to enable wearables devices.
Can someone help me to enable wearable support?
Kind Regards

To use your Google Assistant on your watch, you’ll need:
A watch running Android Wear 2.0 and up
A Google Account on the watch
Phone’s language set to a language listed above
An Internet connection on your watch via a Bluetooth connection through Wi-Fi or cellular connection
I live in Poland, where Google Assistant isn't allowed (operated) and I would like to write a simple script, which allow me to say: "Ok, google, muzyka stop". Next device will stop music play. Is it possible to write this in dialogflow or other system?
When creating apps for the Google Assistant I'd recommend staying away from use cases already covered by the Google Assistant. In this case controlling music is already covered by the Google Assistant and will already work with most music streaming providers.
If you'd like to add the Google Assistant to your device and add the option to control your device, a conversational building tool like Dialogflow is probably not the best tool. You may want to consider adding the Google Assistant and voice controls to you device use the Google Assistant SDK.
Can i know is it possible to communicate with Beacon without having any Mobile app on device?
Thanks in advance
Both Android and iOS devices need some kind of app installed to interact with your beacons. Some phones have such apps pre-installed, but the options are limited. The two such apps with the widest distribution are:
Google Chrome App (Android/iOS)
Google's Chrome app will interact with beacons supporting Eddystone-URL (also known as physical web), which transmit a URL that can be displayed within Chrome when the app detects it.
This works on both Android and iOS devices with Chrome installed. For newer Android phones, this is a relatively high percentage of devices. For iOS, it is a very small percentage, as the app is not installed by default. This makes it of very limited use on iOS.
The other real drawback to relying on Chrome for beacon detection is the hoops users have to jump through to opt-in, and the way the beacon notifications are buried. Until users opt-in, they will see no notifications on beacon detections. Once they do, they will see a very generic notification "Physical web beacons are nearby", and only once the user taps on that are the specifics about the web page associated with the beacon transmitted URL displayed.
Passbook (iOS)
Apple's passbook app will bring up a passbook entry (usually used for tickets, coupons, etc.) associated with a set of iBeacon identifiers if the user comes within range of the beacon. In order to use this, however, the user must first download the passbook entry to his or her iPhone. Only once this is downloaded and opened will the app respond to associated beacons.
EDIT April 2020: For a time prior to December 2018 Google supported app-less notifications based on beacon detection using their Google Nearby product. This was discontinued in December 2018 due to predictable abuse and spam that it generated. While you may find some outdated documentation online about this ability, understand that this feature no longer works. As of this writing, my understanding is that this answer is still correct.
You should checkout Eddystones from Google. They can push you URLs even without app.
If you want to interact with beacons and do custom stuff (notifications, http requests, etc) you will need an app.
I wrote a web site with google earth api and it is working fine.
I want to open this site via mobile browser, and it's giving me the following error:
"the plug-in of google earth is available only for win and mac".
How can i get through it?
Thanks.

I am having a similar issue. I wish to try and use Android WebView instead of setting up GooglePlayServices at this time for an art project
I have the example loading just fine on Windows and Mac, but I need this for my Android art project.

I will attempt to see what I can try from Google Maps V3 APIs as per your instruction JasonM1 and see if I find a way to load this in Android.
Unfortunately, the Google Earth Plugin and Google Earth API is currently only supported on the Windows and Mac platforms.
Full list of which OS versions and browsers are supported can be found here:
https://developers.google.com/earth/documentation/index#installing_the_google_earth_plugin
The mobile version as well as the Linux version of Google Earth does not currently support the Google Earth plugin.
If you redesign your web site using Google Maps V3 APIs then it would be supported by mobile and desktop web browsers. Google Earth is a thick desktop and has restrictions especially with respect to mobile devices that a pure web application such as using Google Maps APIs can avoid.
Although the Google Earth plugin doesn't work on mobile devices, both Android and iOS devices have a Google Earth app available for them.
Thus a good way to show your data on both desktop and mobile devices is simply to publish it as a KML file, which will load in all versions of the program. The mobile devices don't actually offer a "load file" option, but instead rely on the fact that if you present the device with a KML file with the correct mime type, then the system works out that the Google Earth app is the appropriate one to display the file.
