Domoticz to Google Assistant integration

[Justintime]

I can't get the service to run. Also i dont see config.yaml in the Domoticz-Google-Assistant folder. There is a file in the config folder. Do i need to rename and replace??

This is the error message. I saw another member had the same problem he had to remove the folder. Tried that but didnt work. I am a new user so didnt set it up.

As far as i understand i can acces the http://localhost:3030/settings without setting up the rest first??

My device runs Buster.

Try start manually the you can see in terminal if there is any errors. If it works maby something is wrong in services.

Code: Select all

cd /home/${USER}/
sudo systemctl stop dzga #If service is running
source Domoticz-Google-Assistant/env/bin/activate
python3 Domoticz-Google-Assistant

There is no file or directory. I have checked with winscp. And indeed there is none.

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /home/${USER}/
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl stop dzga
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ source Domoticz-Google-Assistant/env/bin/activate
-bash: Domoticz-Google-Assistant/env/bin/activate: No such file or directory

Thanks... Turneded out there was a checksum error on a Debian package from another source. So it only installed a part of your application.

On to the next challenges to get it to work.

Great everything is working fine now.

Got a problem with APi HomoGraph but I have set report state to False. As far as i have read it's a language issue? My language is Dutch.

Now i am trying to get the webcams to work on my Nest hub.

FFmpeg decoder is working i see a file being created in var/html/cam

But how do i get the stream created to the Hub?

I have tried http://domoticz_ip:port/cam/voordeur.m3u8

Do I oversee something??

I have problem also with hls files.
But it works with this url https://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/yp34SRmf.m3u8 ??
Somthing with decoding or headers or similar. I have no clue.

I manage to get it to work with mp4 file thou

Dzga Beta(V.1.6.2) now supports Thermostat modes

Merge selector device retaining the modes for thermostats, supports following levels: Off - Heat - Cool - Auto - Eco

Add modes to thermostat:

• Create selector device with levels above

• Create thermostat device

In thermostat description add:

Code: Select all

<voicecontrol>
selector_modes_idx = 123
</voicecontrol>

or in config.yaml:

Code: Select all

Device_Config:
  234:
    selector_modes_idx = 123

There is a small Bug! Selector device idx must to be lower than thermostat idx

After this last update to 1.6.2 1 (or more) of my devices got type "Hidden" and is not visible anymore on my phone.
And Google home does not know this device anymore. Got a message that the device got disconnected.
How can I add this device again?

What kind of device? light, temp, etc.
Do you have any settings for this device in description or in config.yaml?

[EddyG]

Found it. accidentally mistyped an idx in the config.yaml. Tnx.

Other question.
I have my cams running in Domoticz and connected to a switch. My cams do not support rtsp anymore (Foscam FI9803p latest firmware).
The url I use is not a stream but a snapshot and that works perfect every 1-2 seconds.
The url I use is:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.x.x/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=#USERNAME&pwd=#PASSWORD

Is it possible to get those pictures in the rate of 1-2 seconds to my Chromecast?

I cant help you with that. I know that Google Assistant (smart home) support streaming with:
- HLS (HTTP Live Streaming)
- DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)
- Smooth Streaming
- Progressive MP4

You can get a separate solution like zonminder, shinobi cctv or similar to get a streamurl from.
or Maybe this can help you https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 38&t=30644

[EddyG]

Tnx for the answers. I will look into those.

[Justintime]

You also can make a switch which starts a script. And let VLC stream it to Chromecast.
Home assistant way... U can't make it to work

Install VLC
And this bash script works in ssh command.

#!/bin/bash
cvlc --sout="#chromecast{ip=192.168.1.XXX}" --demux-filter=demux_chromecast rtsp://admin:[email protected]:xx0/Streaming/Channels/1/picture sleep 30 ; kill $!

Rtsp stream which suits your cam.

Unfortunately the bash script don't respond in Domoticz. Saw some other post with same complaint.

Edit:
It now works.

Type this in terminal. VLC become root.

sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc

Hi

I wonder if I can use Google to change a selector switch?

If it is possible can I have any text on the selector or must it be predefined?

User: Turn on [Level Name] on living room light.
Google Assistant: Turning on [Level Name] on living room light?

You can fill in any name in the Domoticz description box. Something like this.

<voicecontrol>
nicknames = Eettafellamp
</voicecontrol>

Works great! Very happy with this integration.

Can we ask Home for the status? Something like: what's the status of Diningroomlight?

Not "status" but you can ask:
"Is Diningroom light is on?"
