Get google home to tell a notification

[tjabas]

What is the easiest way to get google to tell a notification, for example, when a switch is activated i get a voice message in google home.

You don't need to have an always connected mic in your home for voice notifications: A speaker connected to the PI jack (or a BT one) will do the job with locally managed voice synthesis... The old espeak utility does the job, with a few tuning for language/pitch/speed and sometimes spelling adaptations for some words. Some others, newest, are a bit less synthetic but espeak will give a Star-Wars C-3PO touch to your notifications, not sending a single word of your rebellion plans to google Empire.

Since 2 years and a PI kernel change, have to pipe espeak output (set to stdout) to aplay as sound does not come directly from espeak anymore. At least using jack connector.

In my bash scripts for french language I have this linked to my garage door open/close switch:

Code: Select all

~/domoticz/scripts $ more espeakSectGarage.sh
#!/bin/bash

ESPEAK_PHRASE=""

case "$1" in
"0")
    ESPEAK_PHRASE="Sectionnelle_garage_fermée"
    ;;
"1")
    ESPEAK_PHRASE="Sectionnelle_garage_ouverte"
    ;;
*)
    ESPEAK_PHRASE="Erreur_appel_espeak_garage"
    ;;
esac
espeak -vfr -s150 --stdout ${ESPEAK_PHRASE} | aplay -D 'default'

In the switch I have setup this for action on:
script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/espeakSectGarage.sh 1

And for action off:
script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/espeakSectGarage.sh 0

Maybe you want the Python Plugin: Domoticz-Google-Plugin -> viewtopic.php?f=65&t=27435

Looked for this very long. Best service seem to be is assistant relay. Haven't tried it because it does not run on synology

Domoticz-Google-plugin or dzga does the job too.
