Just got a Google Home. I'm very impressed with it, there's just so many possibilities with it. I just found out I can trigger a HTTP request using my voice (!). So now I need to find out good use cases and build a server.

Ideas?

I agree with the above sentiment

I also do, but I feel that he deserves an answer to his question.
API the crap out of it, for one.

Turn the HTTP requests into HTTPS

Can i write skills for Google home as I can for Alexa ?

You can use Tasker on your phone and trigger it with HTTP requests from your Google Home using AutoRemote. Enables next level automation, for example I can sent a WOL request and turn on my computer using Google Home. :D (or my smartwatch, basically anything that runs Google Assistant)
