@FrostedKiwi sure but if you think this way then it’s not recommend to give another service your login data. You never know how they save this in their database. At this point a pimatic Plugin will be cool.

Will also check out compatibility, mine should arrive the next few days as it is available in germany now

@Swen well, you shouldn’t reuse login data anyway But my point wasn’t exactly that you store your login data at IFTTT (for which you indeed have to trust that service), but that you use http to connect to your pimatic server, so any man-in-the-middle attack (for example Wireshark on a public network) will easily see your login data. Anyways, too much offtopic
As for the Smart Home for Actions on Google, I guess I will also ask Google if there is a possibility in their current setup to allow users to connect locally, since otherwise there would have to be a public cloud service handling all the requests for all pimatic users.

But there is no way to get easy SSL. I found a script for Raspberry that renew SSL certification of Let’s Encrypt. But i didn’t test it at the moment. And i have no idea how to get it to work. Generally I know about the risk.
I have seen an option in Assistant german version that calls “verknüpfung” eg english link. I think i don’t have the newest version or its only coming with google home hardware? I don’t know, but there are some options missing on my phone.
But it will be a hardwork to link all voice commands each to pimatic…

OK Google Home is running here now… No way to include local devices it seems. WeMo wants access granted via the WeNo app. 🙁
Can’t post screenshots as the forum software won’t upload because of wrong extension (capital PNG)…

They are many picture hoster out there…

edit by leader21 : took care about the pictures gonna see what’s up with the max file size…
-
Great sure with the smartphone pixel density screenshots get huge. I guess I need to resize them…
Writing a workflow for this.

file size is max 2MB, that should be enough for a picture, even if it’s a screenshot from your mobile. strange.ok so far, let’s see go back to topic

Are there some news about google assistant and pimatic?
-
@FrostedKiwi Did you test if pimatic-echo works with Google Assistant, too?
@Swen If you have one you can test yourself.
pimatic-hap - pimatic HomeKit bridge
pimatic-echo - Amazon echo integration
pimatic-dash-button - Amazon dash button support
pimatic-alarm - pimatic alarm system

Assistant ist build in Android Smartphones with new update. There is only an IFTTT Solution, but a bad solution. Would be more interesting to find Pimatic via Assistant App via Pimatic Plugin. Otherway there is a Tasker solution but i don’t like this.

Sadly google seems to solely rely on cloud services for smarthome…
I tried to add it via echo before and after the last update so with Wemo/Hue emulation and it never did find any local devices. (Basically there is no real way of searching for them)If you select either Wemo or Hue you get redirected to their oauth services so it might work via cloud if you could add the fake wemo or hue devices to the original manufacturer app/cloud.
I think for proper integreation there we really need to create our own pimatic cloud or create a connection to a trusted generic IOT platform supported bei Google.

@thex I don’t like the idea to “open” my smart home to the public internet.

Me neither but if you want to use it I think there is no other way. I think if we don’t introduce/create some cloud connectivity this will drasticly impact the adoption of pimatic in the future.
I think there are ways to do this in a sufficiently secure manner so that I would agree to use it.
- Reverse connection to the cloud via proven web standards
- using SSL/TLS and websockets or MQTT
- no listening ports open
- should also solve necessity to set up static IP/dynDns
- Using oAuth with different levels of access which can be easily revoked
- No own user management, use oAuth framework for authenticating via google/facebook/amazon etc.
- Very “loud” notifications for failed login attempts or similar.
- Selective control on which devices can be controlled and also which functions (status only, change, change only specific properties)
- Reverse connection to the cloud via proven web standards

@michbeck100 This i agree 100%.
It also has the most wonderful by-product of improved responsiveness through decreased latency.

Hi,
due to the crazy low pricing of Google Home devices last week, I bought a Google Home Mini to play little bit around with it. Clear that I was trying to make it somehow working with Pimatic, till now I had no success.
IFTTT and webhooks would be the preferred way, but this works only from the web. I want only to have access from outside via VPN, this variant will not work.
Searched in the net, but found no information’s to make for example http post on lokal network working.
Now I will got the way over an old smartphone equipped with tasker.Any elegant idea for it?
