The latest edition of the MagPi magazine includes a DIY kit created by Google that can be used to create a custom Google Home device powered by Raspberry Pi. A user can take advantage of the Google Assistant SDK and Google Cloud Speech API to enable voice control in their projects.

What’s the cheapest way to make a Google Home device? Use the free Google AIY Project Kit that comes clubbed with the latest edition of MagPi, the official Rpi magazine.
MagPi 57 includes an accessory board, a stereo microphone, a cardboard case, some connector wires, and an arcade button used to activate the Google Assistant. You’ll have to hook your own Raspberry Pi board to complete the system, followed by setting up the Google Assistant SDK and Google Cloud Speech API.
