Connect with Google Home?

[martinpetracek]

Loxone (9.3) with OpenHAB (v2.3.0.001-SNAPSHOT on Synology) work ok. But how I can connect with Google Home? (In google home app I log on to myopenhab.org, but I do not see the loxone device.)

I have not connected to Google home. I suspect you need to check the configuration in paper ui to set the items that get exposed to the oh cloud. Otherwise they will be invisible.

In openHAB, the Loxone items are visible (and working fine). When linking the Openhub and the Google Home account, they can still see them.

I finally solved control of the Loxone by voice via IFTTT:
Google Assistant (Google Home Mini) -> IFTTT -> OpenHAB (with OpenHAB cloud and Loxone Binding) -> Loxone ... it works ;-)

Thank you for this "module".

Hello, how did you connect your "(Google Home Mini) -> IFTTT -> OpenHAB"
I didn't find the right "applet" in ifttt to control my openhab over google home.
Searching for that since 3 days.
Thank you if you could helpt me.

@Bigdesaster I think you need to create a new applet from your personal menu. Then you add google assistant as the “if this” and openHAB as “then that”.

Hi,

I think I'm seeing something similar. I've added some things to myOpenHab, all are visible and work fine through the IOS app. However, only relays seem to work (ON/OFF) in GoogleHome.

Here's 2 examples, the first one is a relay, the second is a mood for Lighting Controller v2.

Switch                  PatioLights             "Patio Lights"          <switch>        [ "Lighting" ]  {channel="loxone:miniserver:22c4bbd1:11E21695-0080-012B-FFFFA46602357F2B-AI1"}
Switch                  LoungeMoodBlue          "Lounge Blue"           <switch>        [ "lighting" ]  {channel="loxone:miniserver:22c4bbd1:11E2169A-00EA-0C5A-FFFFA46602357F2B-M6"}

any ideas what's going on here? Anything I can do to debug the issue more?

Can you set the mood ON/OFF from openHAB level? If yes my first shot would be to try the capital L in the lighting tag.

ahh, nice catch, I'd totally over looked that :)

changing to capital L fixed the issue, thanks for the response, and thanks for what seems to be an awesome binding.
