ReneeVandervelde on Nostr: Google Home's API intentionally doesn't provide a way to get or send the home/away ...
Google Home's API intentionally doesn't provide a way to get or send the home/away status for a location, so I'm exfiltrating the data by tweaking the brightness of a Hue light bulb now and it works great.
This is the best and dumbest hack I've ever written.
