The Gemini API and the Internet of Things- Google Developers Blog

This post introduces the integration of the Gemini API with the Internet of Things (IoT) space. It details how developers can leverage the Gemini REST API, specifically its function calling feature, to create devices that understand and react to custom speech commands. The process involves audio capture, encoding, API requests with function definitions, AI model processing, and receiving responses. The post provides a JSON example for controlling an LED with voice commands and highlights practical benefits such as enhanced user experience, simplified command handling, dynamic function execution, and contextual understanding for IoT development.
