Unsolved Gateway / SmartHome Installation

SmartHome Installation

I think do you know the Google Home app of your smartphone
It is used to control the connected devices
We are therefore going to create the extension in order to control Jatvis from this application!
Naturally… when done, you can therefore control it by voice from another device that uses the google assistant

Process

SmartHome needs to receive and send data
Send data it’s not a problem
Receive data in live from google Server in live get a little more complex
And again… it’s use https protocal
So I tried to simplify as much as possible (as usual) the installation

PreRequire

• Domaine name or DynDNS (or equivalentq) account
• a Router
• an Google Account: same like MMM-GoogleAssistant, Google Home app, SmartPhone account

Google Home Jarvis icon:

On the App:

What can this plugin do?

It’s able to control plugin

• EXT-Screen: for Force turn on/off screen
• EXT-Volume: for volume and mute/unMute control
• EXT-Spotify: Play/previous/next/pause
• EXT-CanvasLyrics: Force (or not) full screen lyrics
• EXT-FreeboxTV: display FreeboxTV and control it with CH +/-
• EXT-Pages: change the page with source
• Naturally … stop command is available too !

(… More features will be added (again) soon!)

Installation

Project_id

You know to remember what is you project_id used when you create credentials.json file of MMM-GoogleAssistant

I create a command line for discover it ! (so don’t have to search ahahah !)
try this in a Terminal:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/Gateway
npm run project

result will be something like this:

~/MagicMirror/modules/Gateway$ npm run project

> Gateway@3.0.1 project
> installer/check_ProjectID.sh

Your project_id is: XXXXXXXXX

Domaine name with fixed WAN ip address or DynDNS

What’s IP WAN /IP LAN ?

IP WAN is your ip from Internet
IP LAN is your device ip from your local network (inside your home)

what’s a domain name and a sub-domain ?

a domaine sample it’s like bugsounet.fr
a sub-domain it’s like forum.bugsounet.fr (forum is the sub-domain)

If you have a domaine name and an fixed WAN ip address:
create a sub-domaine and redirect it to your WAN ip
