I have some of my dimmers in different groups (gDimmers1) ect.. as they require calcs to output correctly. For instance when my LWRF dimmer is at 30% on GH dial, it is at 100% brightness in dom. so just convert the string into a DecimalType and divide by 3. rule "Send MQTT message on Dimmer command ...

Nice work Ankan.

Works great, no need for ha-bridge anymore, just link openhab skill and get all the switches, lights & thermostats working on alexa as well as GH.
Had to do some tweaking on some rules for the dimmer lights and blinds, but all good.

Thanks for sharing.

If you are doing bi-comms in MQTT look out for infinate loops.
I use node red as the go-between and it is easy to limit the amount of messages going either way.
If you manage to get round this in the OH MQTT code, please share.

The ha-bridge works fine with or without an alexa, it is just the way I did it because I have both. It is probably easier to setup and use than MQTT in this situation, upto you which you use. I suggested ha-bridge because it is easy to link to DOM devices and OH can scan Ha-bridge and import all ...

Yes, it will work fine on a separate Pi's, (DOM on one and OH on the other) that is how I has it setup at first for testing. No reason to think it will not work on windows or any other device on your network running OH. If you don't 'have an alexa, you can forego the ha-bridge link and MQTT from DOM ...

For all those interested, there is a way to get your devices from domoticz on the google home app (and alexa) for free using openhab without moving away from domoticz - all on the same pi - warning, takes a lot of time but works just fine. Simplified below but you may need to do some reading in the ...

Hi All For people having cookie/captcha issues on headless systems, you could try https://github.com/jonferreira/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote This node (for node-red) allows you to send speech to alexa and works fine. To fill in the cookie window in the node config, do the following. Connect to ...

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately I don't yet have a decent microphone, had to film it all on my phone...and my voice is a lot worse.

Hi Everyone. I have decided to create a maker channel on youtube with a view to creating instructional videos using the Ifttt - Dom - node red route. If anyone is interested, please check it out here - https://youtu.be/fGi5rGpGCWU and let me know what instructional videos you would like me to create ...

There is a good project over at https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi
Works with AIY kit.
Easy to configure for local voice control of GPIO as well as many other useful additions.

HI Wob.

I use the IFTTT and dom/Nodered to send pushover notifications to the phone via GA.
I then use tasker and tasker notifications to only read out the pushover messages, works just the same as the google home solution.

Hi.

If you are getting that response, you must be using wob's flow.

Check you have included the "GoogleHome: (the )?(front door)" text in the description of your front door switch.

the regex text in the switch description has to match exactly the value in the variable.

What you are describing is exactly what the guides in the last post do. The only difference is that the "status" switch is activated from an IFTTT command via Google home. You can substitute the "status" switch for any switch or command from domoticz that you want. Then once the command is filtered ...

Not sure what you are asking, but if it is how to get google home to read out sensor data/switch status etc.. follow this guide - https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13607&start=20#p148867 Or this one http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13607&start=20#p150149 If you are ...

There is a new node for sending speech to google home (and other chromecast devices). It works well and even has a search function.
Available here - https://github.com/noelportugal/google-home-notifier

I will post an update for action control in my flow, but you can get responses using the previous flow, and as I mention using basic auth with IFTTT. I am really looking forward on an update on this. I've followed Bradds and then Wob76 instructions, but I haven't got a response yet from Google Home ...

I use a separate google and IFTTT account for phone, (set this all up before multi user accounts were available in UK) same IFTTT setup with commands sent to MOBILE STATUS for phone & HOME STATUS Variables for GH. I split them out in a filter node and send the text to a PUSHOVER node for the phone ...

Wob, I check multiple status of "doors" & "windows" by running a grab on each RID and adding it to the topic if open, then spitting out the result to GH. Although not as elegant as your solution, it works. Here is the flow for checking doors. I only have 5 on the system, so not a big deal. It gets ...

Wob76.

Great work mate, tried your flow and it works a charm. Never occurred to me to use the dom desc for regex.

Thanks.

Bradds.

Unfortunately no. Any playback gets interrupted and wont resume automatically.
