its a real drag that reverse engineering hangouts is the only option. i tried moving to pushBullet. it works, but i didn't want to migrate the whole family. anyone else who's wanting to hold out,

im using sendxmpp in ubuntu ... in nodeRed using an exec node and the cmd 'echo {{payload}} | sendxmpp -m {{to}}'

Hangouts Chat has a bot API, maybe someone can make a node-red plugin for that!

https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/

Hangouts Chat integrates with regular Hangouts, so I assume the bots could use the integration to talk to people on regular hangouts using this.

You need a G Suite subscription to use the new bots.

Damn, didn't realise

I have now moved to Telegram instead, and the Node RedBot https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-chatbot, its very simple to get started, after an hour or so I had moved all my Hangout integrations/logic over to this new solution.
