Can a Dialogflow API call play audio on my Google Home

Question

I want to create a simple app for use in my house that will cause my Google Home Mini device to speak a custom phrase when executed. Alternatively to have it play a custom audio file which I will prepare with the phrases.

Ideally I'm looking for something like an API that can be called with a text string that the mini then speaks out. The API call would come from a web/desktop app I will write.

Can Dialogflow do something like this? If so, any advice on where to start with the documentation (endpoints etc)? Or if not, is there anything else out there that I can use to do this?

Answer 1

It sounds like you're looking for the Actions on Google API.
