I was hoping to be able to send messages to my physical Google Home, like "What's the weather?" or "Tell me a joke" and the response come out of the Google Home as if I spoke it. But after looking around i can't see such a thing. Is it possible?

Thanks.

My workaround is to connect the output of a Pi to a headphone placed near the mic input of an Alexa device.

Same idea should work for Google Home

That wasn't the question, the OP is asking how to trigger Google Assistant Actions without speaking
