I'm Benoît, a French guy living near Paris. I’ve been using Domoticz for 10 years now, and it has been at the heart of my home automation journey.
Over the years, I’ve always dreamed of making my setup even more natural and effortless, something that feels like magic.
My first try was 7 years ago with a Google Home Mini, I wrote an article in French about my works on that topic https://bierdok.net/post/piloter-sa-box ... assistant/), but few years after, Google decided to disable the "hook".
During the last 15 years, I have gained experience in web development and devops.
It is for these reasons that the idea came to me to create for all Domoticz users: TalkOps, a powerful voice (or text) AI assistant platform, now compatible with Domoticz thanks to a dedicated extension.
TalkOps is a French SaaS platform that lets you build your own personal AI assistant (powered by GPT-4o). It can interact in real-time with any app that has an API — including your Domoticz instance. No DevOps skills needed. No complex setup. Just natural conversations with your smart home.
The talkops-domoticz extension allows you to:
- Control your Domoticz devices by voice (or text if preferred)
- Trigger scenes or routines
- Request live sensor data (temperatures, humidity, presence, etc.)
- "Turn on the living room lights and close the kitchen shutter."
- "What’s the CO2 level in the bedroom?"
- "Activate night mode"
- Simple setup — just provide your Domoticz URL and a user credential.
- Works on any device via browser (it's a PWA).
- Runs locally or in the cloud.
- Developer-friendly with an SDK and GitHub template for custom extensions.
- Free Plan: 1 extension + 1 hour of daily use.
- Standard Plan ($14/month): Unlimited usage + unlimited extensions (cloud or local).
- Sign up at https://talkops.app
- Let the AI assistant guide you to install the Domoticz extension.
Feel free to share feedback, suggest improvements, or contribute to the GitHub repo
Talk soon, and happy automating!
