Hi, I will try to address your items one at a time here. So here goes: - Yes it's a bit complicated to setup, but is quite flexible in what it can do. I still use it all the time for simple music requests. An alternate method would be to use IFTT with Google HOME but I believe LMS installation would then have to be exposed to the internet (not very secure). IFTT approach is not as flexible as the DialogFlow approach. - Didn't know Google Home wasn't available in Sweden until just recently. Not sure how well it functions in Swedish but in English, the AI speech interpreter is excellent and easily picks up the request including (usually) proper spelling of artists names, etc.. - Not sure if Google DialogFlow language change is easily done, one fellow here used Italian but was having some trouble making it work I believe. You can certainly re-create the intent in Swedish and proceed that way, automatic language conversion, not so sure. - As for how to install the files, in the GITHUB project under the https://github.com/ynot123/LMS_Controls/tree/master/HomeAssistant/config, all these files need to be modified to suit your application environment. There is a README.md file in that directory that goes through the required changes. You create a sub directory under config directory called shell and this is where the shell files reside. - If you carefully follow the instructions, you should be able to make it work, several others have with little assistance. Bear in mind, the following things need to be completed and functioning to make the full install work: LMS server, Home Assistant (HASSIO), Google Home (or assistant), DialogFlow. If I might add a bit, while the solution is a bit convoluted, the addition of Home Assistant allows you to create a fully operational home automation system controlling lights, heat, cameras, alarm systems, sprinklers, weather forecasting, who's home. With it you can create all kinds of automation scripts to trigger based on time of day, location of people, mood, weather, activity, etc.. There is significant power and flexibility there. This is why I chose it to control and automate the LMS Server. Home Assistant also functions very well on a phone and the interface to LMS server works pretty well even without Google Home or Assistant. Just my 2 cents, there is more than one way to "skin the cat", but this method seems to work pretty well for me at least and was a great learning experience.
