Dingz and Google Assistant

frelaur

Hello,

Is there a plan to integrate Dingz with Google Assistant natively (i.e., not through myStrom)?

It would be great because I have 24 dingz in my apartment and there are constantly at least a few Dingz that are not working (most of the time, when I ask to turn on/off all the lights, there are a few devices that are not working well, and it's often because myStrom is not accessible for some reason).
A native integration with Google Assistant would help for sure, even if it might not solve the whole problem.

It's also not possible to adjust dimmable lights or to control the thermostats by voice. Controlling blinds is also very limited.

I feel like I'm only using half of my Dingz devices capabilities because of the lack of this integration.
Is it coming soon? 🙂

Thank you!

You definitely need a Smarthome Hub likes HomeAssistant or Homey. I have a HomeyPro in use, this allows me to do what ever I want to do.

rh_rh how do I detect "catch" a dingz signal with HomeAssistant?

Right, thanks. After I asked this question, I got a Home Assistant device.

I'm not really experienced with HomeAssistant, I have Homey Pro in use.
I recommend to consult the Homeassistant section in this forum.

As far as I understand, there are at least 3 ways to integrate Dingz in HomeAssistant:

There is repository available on GitHub. Maybe someone else did all the work already for you...?

If you have an MQTT Broker in use, you simply enable MQTT on your Dingz devices. This allows you to interact with your Dingz devices.

If you don't have an MQTT Broker in use, you need to use REST to fetch Dingz sensors (GET) and set orders (POST).

Hope this helps somehow?
