Yepp it is really not perfect, but more is currently not possible.

New plugin pimatic-gBridge

I can select on temperature attribute name.
A device has attributes and one of them should have temperature as attribute name.
Most devices that have temperature readings use temperature.
I’ll give it at try tomorrow (icl the variable variant) -

I see no other way, and its not about allowing any device to be added, but about which device type and traits I can use that will work and make sense.
I have not seen this comment. It is not the idea to allow every device type. But only devices which contains temperature and humidity values. Both can take place even in a variable device. It can be identified by their unit.
As I say, all the stuff I mentioned are just ideas. It is up to you and I am really happy with the plugin already ! -

That was my fault. I doesn’t know that before. My variable device show temperature, but the attributre is named e.g.
aqua-temp
. Could you allow such stuff liketemperature-aqua
oraqua-temperature
? -
I have released version 0.3.2 with support of temperature/humidity and contact device.
The temperature/humidity is emulated via a DummyThermostat device.
There are now 2 auxiliary fields. This first aux field for the temperature attribute name of pimatic device. And the second aux field for the humidity attribute name of the pimatic device.
Let me know if this is workable and what the voice command and response experiences are. -
Seems to work in the first test. Due to this I deleted a test device which I used yesterday for some tests. Now I can’t add new subdevices to the gBridge device
I already restart pimatic, but it didn’t help.
After I deleted the test devices I got the remark to delete it as well in the gBridge device. Thia was possible, but after that no change will be took over. Any idea?
-
@OrTiN to complete the devices of gBridge, i’m planning also the scene device.
With this device you can start and stop a scene. I see 2 implementation options:- A command line for start scene in aux field 1 and a command line for stop in aux field
- Use the pimatic-shell-switch. The start scene is mapped to the ‘on command’ and the stop scene is mapped to the ‘off command’
Option 2 is a bit more work but reusable within Pimatic and that seems more logical.

Wow you are fast. The update fix the previous error, but ends in “Oops… AmbientHandler is not found”.
Edit: Let me try to reinstall it. The update was incredible fast…
Regarding the Scenes. Which kind of scene do you mean?

The scene is just a simple trigger function for anything.
Normally its used for light/switch groups to switch/dim a group of lamps and switch on things. Because you would need a scene to start something and a scene to stop it, i will make it as a toggle -
The version 0.3.4 works fine. Thx for this. Temperature works with the given attribute names. Humidity is somehow always zero. The related sensor shows 51%. But I observed even this yesterday in the version 0.2.24.
Reageding the scenes. I have this already realizied with shellSwitches (separate device). I like the idea to skip the seperate shellSwitches and to have it directly in the gBridge device. So even for this I am you man 😃

I forgot to give a feedback to the GA response regarding temp. The response is exaclty that what I want to hear “Currently it is 20°” with a nice picture:
@bertreb said in New plugin pimatic-gBridge:
The switch device works already with the ShellSwitch!
You are right it works with a separate device. I use the same switch for GA and Echo.
-
Does humidity works for you?
-
No i couldn’t get any info from GA or the Google Home app on humidity.
In gBridge the humidity availability box is checked. So all seems ok but I still can’t find the right command.
It could be the right phrase in the right language
Perhaps you have more luck in this trial and error battle with The Assistant -
When I type in the command in my phone I get 0. Currently I can not speak with GA. My wife sleeps beside me :o
The temp is much more interesting for me. The humidity is only nice to have. Maybe a gBridge problem.
