Would it not be great if homey could send commands like: “ok google, stream security cam to google hub” or “ok google, sing me a song” to google assistant.

then we would be able to use homey to control items which are not connected to homey but which are integrated in google assistant

Errrm, isn’t that the other way around and somewhat illogical? The mic wasn’t removed in the new devices without a reason…  
Besides that, are you then going to disable the Mic on the GH (mini)? Else both will respond to every question…

i meant: so we could use it in a flow to give a command to google assistant.

I understand what you mean, could be useful indeed.

I think you will find that ti is google who stops it rather then Homey, I know that it is possible to do this with Alexa - however it requires a bit of a hack.
