Controlicz - Domoticz to Google Home/Assistant integration Topic is solved

[Madgeni]

I've already built *some* of the technology for this, but how will we decide which events go to Google? There's no setting in Domoticz for that

[Akerboom]

In the HTTP data push I mentioned you select a specific device to push right? In my doorbell use-case this would work...
If you supply the end-point with basic-auth using the controlicz.com l/p, it's sorted.

[Madgeni]

there's no endpoint on the other side, the data you send has to be mapped to a (currently non-existent) notification method on the Google infrastructure - and what if they push the button 5 times? What if you only want notifications for that when you're not in (the notifications will go to your Google Assistant on your phone as well as your Home). How do i, as the Controlicz dev, handle notification requests (synchronous) for 100s of users

[Akerboom]

I suggest we do all our logic in domoticz on a virtual device and push that virtual device using http data push.

You setup the endpoint (endpoint.controlicz.com) and pass through incomming data to Google.

(Maybe there should be a mapping functionality on controlicz.com to map a incomming data event to a certain existing device on Google)

[Madgeni]

There is no notification endpoint in Google for Smart Home actions. This is a moot point - and i can't just pass it through, it requires an oauth2 token, as well as a guid, and it will require transformation of data. When it's available, and there's documentation, i'll look to implement.

Ok, thanks in advance

For what it's worth I use mqtt to publish the state of a switch (or variable) to a Node-Red flow which end with a googlehome-notification node.

You can use it for simple things like when the washing machine has finished or something more complex, like when I go to bed I tell Google to turn everything off, which does what it says but leaves a couple of lights on downstairs for a while so that I can see where I'm going. It also calls a Node-Red flow to check that the doors and windows downstairs are shut and tells me which ones are still open.

I don't have a Home device yet, only the assistant on my phone. Didn't know you could send notifications directly. I can just use https://github.com/noelportugal/google-home-notifier on my doorbell trigger. I thought Nest bell used an assistant API trigger.

Hi,
Unfortunatly I'm authorised yet to use p.m.

Hi -
yes i am actually
I have written the native Alexa skill - Controlicz, and am now extending it into Google. It's currently in test - but would welcome some volunteers to assist. Controlicz delay is about 1 sec.
Currently it will discover your devices, turn on/off lights/devices/scenes/groups - set brightness of lights, set temperature, query device/scene status/temperature status.
It's still a little rough around the edges, but it's getting there.
It doesn't necessarily need a Google Home, i've been running it from 'Ok Google' on my android phone.

Hi I would like to test also, i registered yesterday hope you can help me out

I've the same problem,
test domoticz on controlicz.com works (only with admin account!) but after I Allow Contollicz account on Google Home app (both iOS / Android) it doesn't work.

Let me know and otherwise many compliment for your work!

Hi -
Controlicz doesn't need admin for your Domoticz - User rights is fine.
I can see lots of discovery requests from you, they all seem fine and return data ok. What happens in the Google Home app? Are you using English in the app?

Hi, if I set user on controllicz.com test fail.. anyway, I'm using italian Google Home App.
It accept the login on controllicz.com when I give Allow It laod for a few seconds then say "there's a problem".. I tried many times (as you see).
How can I do? Set my android tablet in English and use Google home app in english language?
I've a lot of devices on Domoticz (about 100), could this be a problem? (maybe a timeout on discover request ?)
Let me know

I send you by PM my personal mail address if you want

[Madgeni]

The Test works, but it does seem to cache results in a cookie - which can lead to false results.
Your setup seems fine - and Controlicz sends back a response to Google, the discoveries aren't timing out, they range between 6 and 11 seconds. There is a hard limit on devices with Google, but i thought it was 150, so don't think it's that.
Can you try changing your tablet to English language?
