Confused by how to use notifier

[vturri20]

I installed google-home-notifier successfully. I am confused as to how this works. I want to try sending notifications to my Google home. How do I go about doing this? How can I send text inputs? Could someone show me step by step how to try this out? I am using an Ubuntu VirtualBox on my pc.

There is a super simple start in the readme. Isn't that helping?

The README was rewritten in v1.4.0 with clearer quick-start, an API table, and runnable examples — that should clear most of this up:

const googlehome = require('google-home-notifier');
googlehome.device('Living Room');           // or googlehome.ip('192.168.1.20')
await googlehome.notify('Hello, Google Home');

There's also a full HTTP-listener example in example/example.js. If something specific is still unclear, reply here and I'll improve the docs.
