Google Now Voice Command not working anymore

[philippe...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I had a flow that worked well, but suddendly stopped working some weeks ago...

I have a Flow Begin, then a Google Voice Command, and then other logic to work with the spoken command. 

As I said it used to work, but now the flow never reacts to any command I say in Google Now. 

To make sure of it I did : Flow begin > Google Now Voice Command > Toast.

I speak in Google Now, but no Toast is never showed. The Google Now search completes, but without Automate noticing anything...

Has something been broken ?

Regards,

Philippe.

I forgot to say that my phone, an LG G2, has Android 5.0.2, but that I have not updated it in the last year.

I have same problem too..I am running Android 5.0 Galaxy Note 3.

Haha!

I didn't use Google Now Block successfully in the past.

Last week i tried and it didn't work on my device, too!

I was assuming that my device is not supported.

I had it working in the past.
Confirmed: not working anymore for me. Android 5.1.1 here (LG G4)

It seems like Google has altered how the Now app work, the UI has changed. I've fixed the block to work with the latest Google Now version.
Sadly Google has removed the possibility to intercept the command while the screen if turned off, since commands are now handled without updating/showing any UI atop the lock screen.

Thanks Henrik.
Sorry, but I didn't understand: what Google removed??

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Previously the Google Now app showed and updated an UI, even when the screen was off/locked.
In the last release that no longer seems to be the case, processing is done in a background service and an UI is only presented if the screen is on/unlocked.
That makes it impossible to "integrate" with the Google Now app when the screen is off, since that requires an UI to inspect/hack.

[Adriano Marzano de Carvalho]

Clear now, thanks.

Hi, glad to know there is a solution in the works even if incomplete.
Will it be available in the next Automate update ?

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Yes.
