Add the devices you want to control into Room Plans in your Domoticz instance

setup port forwarding for your SSL port - this only works with HTTPS

Enable the skill on your Google Home or Google Assistant - and you're done :)

Alternative

Since Nov 2015, Google voice controls the number of call per IP. So if you have a dynamic IP, and are not lucky, you may be banned.

So this service may not be usable anymore. If so, use VoiceRSS. I have updated the wiki with a VoiceRSS howto, look here : https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Talking_Domoticz

Purpose

This script will play a string into google translate. It is useful to allow domoticz to give voice notifications.

Script with comments Part 2 (bash)

For the language type check this : HERE

#!/bin/bash
mplayer -ao alsa -noconsolecontrols "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=$*" > /dev/null 2>&1

In some setups the statement above does not work, use the following to download an MP3 with the requested text and play that with mplayer

curl 'http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&q=Hello%20world&tl=en&client=t' -H 'Referer: http://translate.google.com/' -H 'User-Agent: stagefright/1.2 (Linux;Android 5.0)' > google_tts.mp3
mplayer -ao alsa google.tts.mp3

Example of use (if relevant) i.e. output files / screen displays
