Google Home compatible with ISY994


Recommended Posts

Is ISY Portal compatible with Google Home?

Currently only thru IFTTT and maker channel. Works well, but tedious to set up each device. The HA bridge from bwsytems is supposed to work, but my quick try wasn't successful, need to spend more time with it.

 

But I've seen that the official API is supposed to be released in December so hopefully better support soon.

Can you walk us through setting up IFTTT to run ISY or Mobilinc on a Google Home?

I don't use mobilinc so can't say. I use it thru UDI Portal.

 

There is info on the google home forum for adding IFTTT:

This issue has really caused me problems since Home is remembering deleted or renamed recipes.

But I could create the step/by/step for IFTTT -> ISY Portal via Maker Channel.  Not sure if I'll have any more time to play before going out of town all next week.

I got mine working with the bwssystems habridge. Just have to use port 80. All my devices currently in use with the Echo just showed up when pairing in the Google home app!

I love the free speech ifttt triggers on the Google home! I can't wait to see the api for more advanced stuff. I have a lot of Amazon Echo skills but hate having to invoke skill names.

I looked through the Google Home developer info, and it looks like it will definitely be possible to add ISY integration if UD wants to do it.  On the downside, for now we may be stuck with a round-about way of saying things like "hey google tell isy to turn the lights on".  Info on that here: https://developers.google.com/actions/distribute/invocation-and-discovery

 

But there is hope that if UD is approved by Google, Google may eventually approve them as a "direct" action.  More info on that here: https://developers.google.com/actions/develop/direct

 

Hopefully UD has already submitted the form to ask Google to approve them as a direct action?

Here is the link to apply for early access to voice actions for assistant. In the vertical, they list 'Home Automation'. :)

It was listed in a blog post by Google earlier today: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/12/start-building-actions-on-google.html

 

Conversational actions look rather like Alexa's skills. You initiate a conversation 'Hey Google, talk to Izzy' then the custom action takes over.

 

It would be neat if UDI could get 'Talk to home'... :)

Hello all,

 

Just an update: we have not heard back from them. Since the original submitted form did not even produce a confirmation, I thought perhaps I had done something wrong. So, I submitted it again and it seems these forms go into a black hole. I just hope this does not become another Harmony Hub.

 

If anyone has any contact at Google Home, please do not hesitate to use them!

 

With kind regards,

Michel
