Google Hangouts has a new Telephone API for 3rd Party support:

Appears to be new 3rd Party Support for Apps and Devices.

Contact Obihai, GrooveIP, Talkatone and such & let them know. ;)
This is official 3rd Party support from Google. The previous way was a hack that was not okay by Google. Keep that in mind.
I don't think Obihai is aware of this official API by Google. No 3rd party is yet. It just popped up out of the blue. I'm sure Google will make an announcement eventually.

Glad I haven't moved to another voip yet, Google Voice is still going like a charm. If Obihai won't update their firmware so that Hangouts works in obi then I'll just purchase another device that does. I'm sure with this news there will be plenty on the market selling them.

You have to keep in mind this sorta just came out with no press release yet or anything. So the 3rd Parties don't even know. At least I assume they don't yet.
Someone found it and posted it as others like myself are making sure to pass it on and get the word out. ;)
I found it in the comments of this G+ post: https://plus.google.com/+NikhylSinghal/posts/MjyncJEbzxK

I expect this to be added to Asterisk soon. The Obi appears to use Java so I imagine this could run on an Obi. some Javascript. The question is will they? I don't know what the OS is based on. I haven't dug into it too much but this API does not appear compatible. Can they implement this without violating the TOS? I doubt the Obi uses Objective C or Android 4.2.2.

I have reviewed this with Asterisk developers and the input is as follows:
Quote
This is for writing apps which run in the hangouts environment. The API here is for writing applications which are invoked inside of an active hangout session. You have to add the app to the google hangout platform, then you create a hangout which invokes the app and the app does "stuff". They are not for external manipulation for the purposes of setting up/tearing down hangouts
