Voice Hat / RPi3 + Kodi & Google Ai

Hi All,

I am a noob a slowly getting into RPi Kodi world (currently running KODI 17.1 on RPi3). Recently I lucked out and picked up Google’s Voice Hat in the MagPi magazine in a local Microcenter store.

Here is what I am trying to do:

Have KODI respond to Google Voice commands (i.e. Play, Pause, maybe even search movies). I saw solutions using IFTTT and solutions without Voice Hat but is it possible to run google voice natively together with Kodi 17.1?

Thanks,
B
