# Domoticz-Google Plugin
Full version of Google Chromecast & Home Python Plugin for Domoticz home automation

Controls multiple Google Chromecasts and Homes on your network.   Tested on Linux only.

## Key Features

* Devices are discovered automatically and created in the Devices tab
* Voice notifications can be sent to selected Google triggered by Domoticz notifications 
* When network connectivity is lost the Domoticz UI will optionally show the device(s) with Red banner
* Device icons are created in Domoticz
* Domoticz can control the Application selected
* Domoticz can control the Volume including Mute/Unmute
* Domoticz can control the playing media.  Play/Pause and skip forward and backwards
* Google devices can be the targets of native Domoticz notifications in two different ways. Notifications are spoken in the language specified in Domoticz:
	* As a normal notification, these are sent to the device identified in the 'Voice Device/Group' hardware parameter
	* From a Domoticz event script targeting a specific device

## Installation

Python version 3.7.3 or higher required & a 2019 version of Domoticz (for voice to work).  On Python 3.6.x this plugin will crash Domoticz 10-20% of the time when the plugin is stopped or restarted. This appears related to a defect introduced in Python 3.6 that has been reported on the Internet.

To install:
* Go in your Domoticz directory using a command line.
* Run: ```cd plugins```
* Run ```sudo pip3 install pychromecast``` should be version 13.0.4 or greater
* Run ```sudo pip3 install gtts```
* Run: ```git clone https://github.com/dnpwwo/Domoticz-Google-Plugin.git```
* Verify that ```domoticz/plugins``` contains ```plugin.py``` and 2 icon files
* Restart Domoticz.

In the web UI, navigate to the Hardware page.  In the hardware dropdown there will be an entry called "Google Devices - Chromecast and Home".

To send voice notifications enter a Google device name in the 'Voice Device/Group' field in the hardware tab, then use the Domoticz standard Notification capability for individual Domoticz devices. Selecting notification target of 'Google_Devices' will cause the notification text to be spoken by the Google device.

## Updating

To update:
* Go in your Domoticz directory using a command line and open the plugins directory then the Domoticz-Google-Plugin directory.
* Run: ```git pull```
* Restart Domoticz.
