Script for syncing devices between Domoticz and EchoBridge

[ben53252642]

This script gets all Domoticz devices, groups / scenes and loads them into EchoBridge for verbal control with Amazon Echo's.

I like to use EchoBridge because I can say "Alexa turn on one" (which is also Bens Bed Lamp) instead of using a skill in which I'd have to say something like "Alexa tell Domoticz to turn on bens bed lamp".

The script is written in PHP, it uses the Domoticz JSON interface and the EchoBridge JSON interface to do the data transfer. This is meant for advanced linux users only.

It automatically configures EchoBridge for each Domoticz device (including dimmable and non-dimmable) and also adds groups / scenes. There is also a section for excluding certain device names such as those containing the word "Motion" or "Sensor".

The script also allows for having additional names for controlling each device (I use numbers in addition to the device names as you can see up the top of the script).

Be sure to configure your paths correctly, this is a custom script and you will absolutely need to configure the path for it to work in your own environment. Incorrectly configuring the rm -rf part of the script may result in serious damage / data loss to your system (as this is the delete command in linux), in this case it is deleting the data directory for EchoBridge so that it can reload it with new synced data from Domoticz.

It is suggested to make a full system backup before running the script.

To run the script, use: php -f SCRIPTNAME.php

In regards to EchoBridge this is the command options I use when running it (I run it in a screen session, the pkill in the script is just searching for my screen session which happens to be named "EchoBridge" and terminating it):

java -jar -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true amazon-echo-bridge-0.4.0.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.0.5 --emulator.portcount=8

Note the emulator port section which increases the maximum number of devices (to 200) from the default 75 in EchoBridge 0.4.0, this may be required if you have a lot of devices in Domoticz.

Nice to see another PHP user
Just a small tip for the forum: if you use code=php to start your code block it'll be nicelly formatted
