Kappelt gBridge - Domoticz Python Plugin

Python plugin for Domoticz to add integration with gBridge project

Prerequisites

You have two options:

Using the hosted version on https://gbridge.kappelt.net. This way you only have to create an account, add the account settings to this plugin and you're done.
Running the gBridge yourself in case you have a server which is capable of running docker images (through compose) and don't want to use the hosted version. More information about hosting it yourself can be found here: https://doc.gbridge.kappelt.net/html/selfHosted/hostItYourself.html

Installation

Clone repository into your domoticz plugins folder

cd domoticz/plugins
git clone https://github.com/giejay/domoticz-gbridge-plugin.git

Restart domoticz
Make sure you add "127.0.0.1" to your Local Networks under Settings.
Go to "Hardware" page and add new item with type "gBridge"
Set your MQTT server address, gBridge config etc. to plugin settings and click Add
If you are hosting gBridge locally and you want to the values pushed back to Google (so you can ask, Hey Google, is the light on?), add the MQTT Client Gateway with LAN interface to your hardware, see third screenshot

Example of a hosted setup:

Example of a local setup:

Example of MQTT Client Gateway configuration:

Configure devices

For this plugin to know which devices it may add to the gBridge, it checks the description of the device. Description: gBridge is making sure the device is added with its Domoticz name. Description: gBridge:Another friendlyName is creating a device in gBridge with "Another friendlyName".

After you have configured your devices, you have two choices. The first one is going to the Hardware page again, select your gBridge hardware and click "Update".

The second option, if you have gBridge linked to your Google account already, is asking Google: "Sync my devices". This will trigger a MQTT sync message for which the plugin will start a sync cycle. Finally check the logging if the devices are added successfully to gBridge (or visit the device page of gBridge)

Testing

Follow the instructions to connect to Google: https://doc.gbridge.kappelt.net/html/firstSteps/gettingStarted.html#connect-google-assistant After you added gBridge to your Google Home/Assistant, ask Google (again) to "Sync my devices". Then say: Turn on x light and see your light shining. If something went wrong, check for messages in the Domoticz log regarding gBridge. If it doesn't make a lot of sense, create an issue and I will help asap.
