Not using original remote. What are my options for voice search?

by hydraSlav

Number 1 requirement: has to be wife/kids friendly (so no "app on phone" solutions).

I am not using the original MiBox remote cause I have Harmony remote (Home Hub). Obviously no mic, and therefore no voice search/assistant on the MiBox.

I have a Google Home right next to it, Unfortunately I don't know of any way of using that as a mic for the MiBox (I know I have limited proxy control from GH to MiBox, but that's insufficient).

So what are my other options? An always on webcam connected to MiBox? Can anyone recommend a specific one that's actually confirmed to work with MiBoX? Does it pick up voice clear enough across the room to do a voice search?

I'd really prefer another universal remote (to replace Harmony) that would have an in-built BT mic that would be able to pick up voice.

Thanks

Considering voice search barely works right with the original remote, I would imagine slim to none.

Hook up a USB mic to your Shield

Add a Windows PC to your Harmony and add it to the Activity.

Map a button on the remote to the "Windows" key. This will activate Google Assistant on the Shield.
