New plugin pimatic-assistant

---

Yes i know. The service structure changed and im not sure if can be integrated easily.
To be continued.

@bertreb said in New plugin pimatic-assistant:

Its not easy to setup. If you succeed, you can easily change the url in pimatic-assistant.coffee (line 62).
If that works i will add the configurable url

i managed to setup my own heroku instance with it. There are two lines in the script which I needed to adjust: line 62 and line 33.

Very nice.
How is your heroku app visible in the Google Home app?

i configured the Google Actions and set a name there. It shows up with a label [test] and I suppose it’s currently only visible to my account. If you want to, we can try to add you as a alpha or beta tester to see if it’s possible that you use my heroku instance, too.

You may add me to your heroku instance. But i assume there’s still some linked to my own google account needed. And for that i need to login to your Heroku instance and get a token?

I managed to get Smartnora integrated in a Pimatic plugin.
So i could create a ‘pimatic-assistant like’ plugin based on smartnora.
Let me know if there’s interest

I’m waiting for the new plugin … thanks for the implementation

I released the first version of pimatic-smartnora (0.3.9). This release supports switch, dimmer and button devices. This release id to test the setup with some device types.
The working is about the same as in pimatic-assistant. Some differences in the plugin config and new registration in the smartnora site.
More info on installation and configuration -> pimatic-smartnora

This plugin requires the a recent version of Node 10 ! (v10.20+)

Smartnora works very well. Thank you for your work.

That good news.
Let me know if support for other devices is needed.

Hello!
I encounter a problem when installing the smartnora plugin and I don’t know how to solve it ( I use a rpi 4 ). After installing the plugin and restarting, I can’t find smartnora in the add Devices section. I installed node 10.24.1 because it is mentioned in github “The minimum node requirement for this plugin is node v10.24.1”

exacly the same problem !
Node 10.24.1
[pimatic] error: Cannot find module ‘…/node_modules/node-red-contrib-smartnora/build/firebase/connection.js’

I looked at the problem. It seems that versions are not matching anymore. This is due to evolving functionality / versions (like node is now on 17.x) and lacking support.
I made an update with a frozen version of node-red-contrib-smartnora. This will probably solve the problem for now -> pimatic-smartnora version 0.3.10

Perfect - That’s the solution - Thanks for the fast work!

Thank you very much. It works!
