Google assistant and Pimatic with web api

---

I’ve seen there was a plugin created by @DaanNL but cannot find it. So tried to go the ifttt way to control Pimatic with Google assistant.

What I cannot find is how to use the Pimatic web api, what are the commands? For example: I’ve got a ceiling fan that is controlled with Pimatic with the use of a buttons device. So the buttons are “fan off”, “fan low”, “fan mid”, “fan high”.

Is it possible to “push a button” with an url like http://mypimatic/api/devices/ceilingfan/buttons?state=fanlow or something like that?

https://pimatic.org/api/actions/ something like this?

No, @DaanNL never released his preliminary work and left some unpleasant remarks on forum

Another thing to add. I have started to work on an enhanced mqtt bridge for pimatic which allows for mapping parts of the pimatic REST-API to MQTT. As there are already integration for google assistant with mqtt I think this is a possible way forward. See gbridge.io (available as hosted service or can be self-hosted) for example.
