Google Assistant C-bus Integration

I have put together a POC of using google assistant to control c-bus loads.

I say to the assistant on my phone "Turn On/Off the **** light"

It uses IFTTT, busybox http and a cgi written in C.

I find it works well for how cobbled together it is. Takes about 5 seconds after speaking the command till the load is switched.

It is not nearly as polished as homebridge-cbus

Does anyone have an interest in this ? If so I will do a write up and publish the code. Got to warn in advance though that my code could be messy.

Cheers
Andrew

 

I'm supprised of the little to no interest. Are there other c-bus Google Assistant integrations about?

I've since tidied it up a bit, it's one application now and doesn't rely on a http server. I've also ported it made a windows.

I will post a link when I get the code on GitHub.

 

Hello Andrew
There has been 90 views and I would have added a comment if I thought I could implement it.
I'm not familiar with google assistant.

Best wishes with the project.
Did you see this one.

Unfortunately I don't know enough to understand it as well.

 

I'll add that I have read and followed this.
I'm just not up to the link to phone/voice yet.
The to do list is a bit too long but it is on the list.....

I'd be quite interested in implementing this. I've just obtained a
'Google Home" which utilises google assistant and would love to be able to control c-bus loads with it. A link to the code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Pat.

 

CBUS with Google Home

Hi,

+1 for me on google home integration with CBUS.
I have the CBUS Audio system and it would be great to get the google home device to turn it on and play the appropriate song.

I only ever come here - when I have a problem or Im bored.... Probably like others!!!

SHARE - Would love to get Google Home / Assistant working like your POC - its what is needed now that Google home is available in Australia and even seen advertised on TV.

Happy to help with your POC

 

Hi Andrew12,

I rarely come here and usually only when I am trying to solve a problem. (It is so long since my last visit that my account seems to have been purged! )

My visit today was specifically to see if anyone is doing anything with C-Bus and Google Home.

I am interested in, and would like to encourage, your efforts.

Regards,
Ian.

 

Hi Andrew
I have an interest in this too.
I've been busy with amazon echo integration however am also starting to take an interest in the google home device.

Paul

 

Google home

Google Home and Cbus

I would like to give this a bit of encouragement too.

Not that I have one, but I am sure in the not too distant future a customer will ask the question.

 

Hey guys, just letting you know Smart Voice supports the Google Home as well as the Amazon Echo. All you need is a CNI (Wiser 2 is preferred) and a Home or Echo, no additional on site hardware required. Drop us an email or a message for more information

 

Hello Smartvoice
That is great.
Thanks for popping in here.

Any news on Siri?

edit How do you do that with no hardware on site?
Does the customer open their CNI to the internet?

 

Hey Daryl,

We're actively developing a solution for HomeKit, and plan to launch a solution early next year.

Due to the way Google and Amazon manage their voice services, we're able to host the logical elements of Smart Voice in the cloud, and use the CNI to send commands to your CBus network. For this to work, you'll need to do some port forwarding on your local router.

Hope that helps!

 

Great
Thanks

 

Have pinged you an email.
Would really like to get my Google home(s) integrated with my new CBus home.

 

Hi Andrew,

Sounds great, have you gotten any further on this. Seems like you have a fair bit of interest from the comments.

cheers Jason

 

Hey Guys,
I too, am really keen to get google home/assistant working with C-Bus. Not super experienced with C-Bus but if someone knows how to set it all up, I would be willing to pay someone to come do it.
