So, I'm wanting to use an old 2008 iMac running El Capitan to be a media station (or something), but be able to control it with my voice, via my Android phone.

I was thinking that I could use Tasker to set up a custom Google Now command, so when I say something like "Computer, play music," the iMac will open iTunes or whatever and start playing music. (My current rig is that I have it set up in an apartment so that it'll play music and it's loud enough to cover the entire apartment.) If I could do that, I'm sure I could make it do other things. But I'm not sure where to start after the Tasker step. Any suggestions?
