Google Home voice control for Domoticz: the easy way!

[irab]

If you would like to control Domoticz devices (like Milight) with Google Home voice control here is an easy implementation:


- Assumption is that Domoticz is running on an RPi + RFXcom
- Purchase an ICS-2000 (Trust/Klikaanklikuit = Kaku), it will link the Google Home to Domoticz. Dutch website here : https://www.klikaanklikuit.nl/nl/ics-20 ... ation.html
- Link your Google Home to the ICS-2000 using the Google Home App.
- Setup Domoticz “scenes” to control your devices, set the activation devices for these scenes as Kaku compliant RF commands.
-Generate Kaku rf codes with the ICS-2000. Use these to activate scenes in Domoticz. You do not need any Kaku remotes or switches (It is not required to define a switch in Domoticz)
The communication path is now as follows:
(Voice —->(air)—-> Google Home —->(cloud)—-> ICS-2000 —->(rf 433)—-> RFXcom+RPi —-> Milight, Kaku switches, etc.)

That’s all. Now your Google Home can control the ICS-2000 which commands your Domoticz system.

Summarised: "Google Home plus ICS-2000" == "Voice controlled RF remote for Domoticz"

Works like a charm!

Excellent use of standard equipment in a creative way. Well done!

Did you look at Controlicz? Or was it a security issue? I would, humbly, suggest that Controlicz is the easiest way, and doesn't require any additional hardware costs

Yes. I have installed Controlicz. But encountered some issues.
Could you PM me. (I’m still not authorised to do so myself)

[Madgeni]

you can email me from your Controlicz profile

Hi Madgeni,

Issues have been solved. Controlicz is now fully operational.
Congratulations with your new website. It is a great improvement.
Thank you!

You can use ifttt and webhook

It is very simple. Try it!

You can call to domoticz API from webhook

@irab
I know It's an old topic but how did you generate de kaku rf codes?

[irab]

@ stief
In Domoticz
Add Manual light/switch device
Hardware: RF Tranceiver
Switch type: on/off
Type AC
Use any code

Then learn this rf code into the ics2000

[Stief]

Thanx for your awnser.
In de meen time I had solved this by creating a group (to switch the device in Domotics) and added a device, wich I created on de ICS-2000 at that moment.

Yout solution seems cleaner though.

[AndrevdBerg]

I like the idea but have a question on one of the steps:
-Generate Kaku rf codes with the ICS-2000.
How do you do this exactly in the ICS-2000 app?
I wasn't able to find anything to find something like this anywhere in the ICS-2000

in The communication path I think you forgot to mention Domoticz scene triggered by RF433 and sending commands to switches in the group:
(Voice —->(air)—-> Google Home —->(cloud)—-> ICS-2000 —->(rf 433)—-> RFXcom+RPi —-> Domoticz Scene --> (rf433) --> Milight, Kaku switches, etc.)

Great Information was very useful form...
