Domoticz-Google-Assistant (dzga) Topic is solved

Since a few weeks I'm using dzga, which works almost flawlessly. Keep up that good work.
I was looking for a way to get notifications of someone pressing our doorbell on my Google Home speakers and Nest Hub.
I saw that's also possible with dzga, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a simple old Friedland wireless 433MHz doorbell, which I made "smart" by putting a Shelly 1 between the doorbell-sender and a classic doorbell knob next to the door. When this knob is pressed, the shelly flips it's relay which is connected to the push-button of the sender/transmitter thing. This way, the receiver/chime is actually ringing, and my Domoticz system is aware of the doorbell being used. This way I can send notifications via Domoticz to my phone via Telegram or other systems.
So far so good..

In Domoticz, I set up HTTP notifications. The test-button works: I see it passing by in the logfile @ dzga.
Then when I setup notifications on the Shelly button or the shelly relay, I get errors. More carefull reading gives me the clue that I won't work with light-switches, only with doorbells and smoke-detectors. Fair enough. I changed the switch type of the shelly to Doorbell, changed the notification, resynced the devices in dzga, the doorbell is then recognized as type Doorbell, but it won't show up in my Google Home app. I did add it to the correct room in Domoticz.

I then tested it with a dummy switch. Made it also type Doorbell, dzga sees it after resyncing, but it's not visible in Google Home app. When I change the type back to Lightswitch, it does show up.

When I change the dummy switch to Smoke detector, resync, and then check the Google Home app, it does show up. Then it's also possible to turn on notifications from within the Home app. After doing that, and virtually pressing the smoke detector in Domoticz, I do get an audio notification on my google home speakers.

Is this simply not yet working for doorbells, or am I missing something?

Synchronize devices to Google app failed. Devices showing "offline" in app, but voice control works for lamps and blinds. Get message something go's wrong. I made a new project on Google . Several times but doesn't work. I use ngrok no problem. Devices import from domoticz to dzga no problem. In dzga log all devices listed as online: false 2023-10-02 07:38:20 - ERROR - Unexpected error serializing query for <helpers.AogState object at 0x753335d0> Anyone idea how to solve this.

I use nodered with https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red ... -smarthome
I can get any textual message be spoken by my Google devices.

I have updated Domoticz to the latest version 2023.2, but not dzga does not work anymore. I think this has something to do with the new safety features.

I have created a separate user for Google Assistant and when I try to login with that user into Domoticz trough the http port, I cannot login anymore. I have selected 'Allow Basic Authentication over plain HTTP', but that did not do the trick. I can login trough the https port, but when i change that into the configuration of dzga, the container does not want to start anymore.

I'm running Domoticz and dgza in docker.
Versions:
Domoticz: 2023.2
dzga: 1.23.12

Does anybody has the solution?

Edit: I'm running Domoticz on port 8081 and that was not in my dockerfile, so I have changed that and now it works:

Code: Select all

FROM domoticz/domoticz

EXPOSE 8080
EXPOSE 8081
EXPOSE 444

WORKDIR /opt/domoticz

RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip

Hello

I made a clean install of Raspios Bullseye and of Domoticz Version: 2023 2 with Python Version: 3 9 2
All running grreat with no issues.

I have have enabled Allow Basic Authentication over plain HTTP

Installed DZGA-Flask version and after issuing:

sudo systemctl status dzga-flask it reports no errors and that it is active and running.

So apparently it is running but I cannot accsess the web interface using ip address:8181
I just get an "unable to connect" message.

Any assitance on how to get this working will be apreciated

Dewgew made a new project: DZGA-Flask.
I installed that project (in Docker), works pretty much the same, but now the notifications on the speakers also do work. Very happy with the great work!

[louresman]

Is no one affected by the problem I am encountering in not beeing able to bring up the Dzga configuration page?

I had everythig working in a prevoius instalation using Rasperry Pi OS Stretch, but decided to do a clean install of the OS. I opted for Bullseye because I believe it is the version which is currently not presenting problems as far as Domoticz is concerned.

After a fresh install of the OS and of the latest Domoticz and resotring the database, everything is working as it should. So next I try to install DZGA running the instalation script and it also reports it is running when I check its status. But I cannot bring up the config screen at <IP Address:3030/settings>.

After multiple reinstalls of the OS, I get the same result. After that I tried installing Raspberry Bookworm, Domoticz runs on this as well, but still no DZGA config page. I also tried DZGA-Flask on another reinstalation but no config screen at <IP Address:8181>.
Since no one else seems to be complaining, I sure it must be something I am missing.

This is all native install, not Docker. Any hints on what could be the cause? Really frustrating as everything worked great on the previous install of Stretch and the older DZGA version.

Have you tryed running dzag manually? Maybe its the systemtcl service issue.
For dzga:

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

For dzga-flask:

Code: Select all

 sudo systemctl stop dzga-flask #If service is running
cd /home/${USER}/DZGA-Flask
source env/bin/activate
python3 smarthome.py

The same issue here. Fresh install of Bookworm on a RPi 5. No User interface on both DZGA and DZGA FLASK. Not on localhost:8181 and ip:8181
All was fine on RPi 4B that had Buster installed. I used DZGA on that.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start dzga-flask

no error returns, all seems ok?

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl stop dzga-flas

Just a friendly heads-up:
Do you know that there are 2 installation-codes on Github?
Under the tab Wiki is

Code: Select all

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DewGew/dzga-installer/master/dzga-flask-install.sh)

Under the tab Code is

Code: Select all

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DewGew/dzga-installer/master/DZGA-Flask-install.sh)

In my case only the one under Code is working.

[louresman]

@DewGew thanks for the suggestion. I have followed the install instructions very carefully.
I have tried running dzga manually in both instances of DZGA and DZGA-Flask on the various installs I have tried.
It reports DZGA is running when checking the status bit I still cannot access the web interface.

Hello,

since I have updated my Domoticz (running on Synology - DSM 7.1) to the latest release v2023.2 (build 15674) the DGA doesn't connect to the Domoticz server.

When I login to the console 192.xxx.xx.x:3031/settings it keeps me message me "Connection to Domoticz refused! Check configuration." but I didn't change anything on the configuration of Domoticz and DGA.

Sync device results in "Page not found!: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://homegraph.googleapis.com/v1/devices:requestSync"

Anybody have had this problem?

Thank you in advanced!

Solved, in Domoticz (menu setup - settings - security) tipped "allow http api calls", this solved the problem.

Unfortunately, this is not a solution for me. I had already configured this nicely.

Since Bookworm there seem to be some problems with pip in Python and I thought that might be where the problem lay. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the case either.
It applies to both DZGA and DZGA-Flak. I can't get the user interface up and running with anything.

My hopes lie with Dewgew who will probably come up with a simple solution soon, I seem to be missing something.
I was able to install all the other plugins and software/hardware just fine but unfortunately I am stuck on, what I think is just so important, linking everything through to my Google devices at home.

My problem seems to be the same as Louresman's. So just a little more patience (I hope)

Hi DewGew,
Very glad you apparently had the opportunity to take a look. Unfortunately, your work so far has not had the desired result. Below I'll just show you what's happening on my end and I'd love to hear if I can test something for you.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
Good to know is that on my RPi 4B with Bulleye installed I now can get my UI up DewGew. Great!
However It is verry much advised to install Bookworm om my new RPi 5 and as described above, no such luck. Could it be a Bookworm issue?
It does make me curious to know if Louresman is moving on now?

[Xavier82]

I have today installed DZGA-Flask on a Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB), with OS Bullseye, Domoticz 2023.2 (BETA build 15679).
This is my test-environment.

I think I have entered all information correct but the Dashboard doesn't display the devices from Domoticz.
I can't find any clue in the logging of DZGA-flask.

The only message I get is:

Code: Select all

2023-12-01 11:34:46 http://X.X.X.X:8084 "GET /json.htm?type=command&param=getversion HTTP/1.1" 200 46

No other message is displayed.

What could be wrong?
I checked the user in Domoticz (incl. password)--> changing password give me:

Code: Select all

2023-12-01 11:29:34 http://X.X.X.X.:8084 "GET /json.htm?type=command&param=getusers HTTP/1.1" 401 91

ofcourse also restarted DZGA-flask....

In the old DZGA version there was the use of NGROK, how and where in DZGA-flask is this configurable?

UPDATE:
I now get this error in the logg:

Code: Select all

2023-12-01 13:09:43 Error on request:

Hi DewGew,

After the latest update, I can now access the user interface and see my Domoticz devices.
Thanks for your work fixing this issue.

Just to be clear: This is not on Bookworm or a RPi 5 right?
Thanx

In response to jpvaneijk

I am running a fresh install of Bullseye on a RPi 3 and DZGA-Flask. I had previously installed Bookworm, thought the issue was the OS and reverted back to Bullseye. I only managed to get everything working with DZGA-Flask v23.9. Previously I could not launch the web inerface.
