Hi I want to make a simple google home Action, which will be controlling a LED of my development board. But I want to host data routing and handling by AWS. I have MQTT communication running between AWS server and the development board.

I am planning to deploy a Node.js server in AWS Elastic Beanstalk or Elastic computer cloud.

But I am not sure how to connect the request make on Google Home to the AWS service. Is there good documentation for this? If possible I want to know the options with "DialogFlow" and with "Actions API".

Thanks.

Fulfillment for both Dialogflow and the Actions API goes through a webhook that you define. This will need to be an HTTPS server, with a valid non-self-signed SSL certificate, available at a public IP address. You can run this on EC2 in a variety of configurations - whatever works best for you.

On the Node.js side, most application servers are using something like Express.js to handle some routing and middleware processing. The libraries from Google assume that you'll be passed a request and a response object that have been processed using Express.js and through the express body parser to turn the JSON HTTPS body into a Javascript object. However, you don't need to use these libraries if you don't want - you just need to parse and respond with JSON.
