getting node-red to work with google assistant
Totally new to node-red & sensehat & this whole IoT thing.
I've followed the article on:
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-google-action
Everything worked until the part where I have to test. Google Action encountered an error which says:"xxx isn't responding right now. Try again soon." (where xxx is my project name).
Also, in the google action node, there is a "SSL private key file" and a "SSL certificate file" which i have no idea how to find the path for.
I've tried a guide to create the private key and cert and after everything's done, when i attempt to boot node-red, it says access denied & my node-red is unable to start up..
Edit:
It's a school proj so everythjng is local,under a normal router with Internet access (no vpn etc)
Question2:
According to this link:
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-google-action
i just need a https web server in order for this to work right?

From the doc for the node:
The node runs an Express web server to listen for Action request from
Google. By using a separate web server from Node Red, it allows the
node to listen on a different port. This allows the Action listener to
be exposed to the Internet without having the rest of Node Red also
exposed. The web server is required to run HTTPS so you will need SSL
certificates. Self signed certificates are OK
You will need to set up port forwarding or some other way to expose this express endpoint to the internet. The Google Assistant servers need to be able to reach this endpoint for anything to work.

hi. i've just configured my pi with ngrok and managed to make my node-red public with a temporary dns. that after, i still encountered the same error after following the docs. or am i missing something?

Which port did you expose? Node-RED should not be accessable, just the Assistant node

1880. sorry am new and am abit lost in this. following this guide link under 'ngrok' . im slightly lost as to how i can configure jjust the node to be accessible to the internet. then what is my web server?, if not the node-red
– Eric Lim
Nov 15 '18 at 16:52
correct me if im wrong, from what i'm getting so far is this: What im supposed to do is to create a web server, give it a domain name, secure it, then link the google nodes to that web server, then it should work... is that right?
– Eric Lim
Nov 15 '18 at 17:06
No, you don't need a separate HTTPS server, you just need to forward the port you configured in the node (the place holder is 8081)
