" summary

A Visual Studio Code extension called Google Home IDE brings Assistant testing, cloud logs and resources into one pane: Assistant Simulator sends typed utterances (can resend or save sequences later) while integrated Google Cloud Logging (formerly Stackdriver) shows full payloads, filters, and a real-time mode that auto-disables after 10 minutes. Setup uses service account keys granted the Logs Viewer role (download key file, point IDE at it). Launched today; batch-utterance, Home Graph and Test Suite integrations are planned.
