[SOLVED] Integrating openhab and google assistant

[Dim (Angelos)]

@ahmeaqas

Where do they get stored? is there any database? if so, where can i find it?

Here you go:

Were are my files please?

that’s alot of work! nice PaperUI stores Things & Items configs in $OPENHAB_USERDATA/jsondb (full path on an apt installation: /var/lib/openhab2/jsondb) You cannot “convert” the *.json into flat text config files in $OPENHAB_CONF subfolders. You can edit manually the jsondb files (not really recommended) but you will need to restart OH2 service everytime you change something since these are read only once (upon startup). Many “advanced” users define their Items in $OPENHAB_C…

Welcome to the openHAB world

edit: I like your Log2Ram tip: Raspberry Pi OS Headless Setup - All about Automation: Home Assistant Node Red Docker API much more

Hello Dim, I have added the label and tag and tried once again to pair it with google assistant. It gets synced and an alert of “assigning room” pops out and still nothing gets added under devices in home control. Here is the json of the switch.
{
“link”: “http://192.168.50.30:8080/rest/items/wemo_socket_Socket_1_0_201612K003B1F9E_state”,
“state”: “NULL”,
“type”: “Switch”,
“name”: “wemo_socket_Socket_1_0_201612K003B1F9E_state”,
“label”: “Switch”,
“category”: “Switch”,
“tags”: [
“socket”
],
“groupNames”: []
}

@ahmeaqas

“tags”: [
“socket”
]

Tags are case sensitive and the available ones for the GA integration (currently) are the following:

["Lighting"]
["Switchable"]
["Scene"]
["Outlet"]
["Thermostat"]
["CurrentTemperature"]
["CurrentHumidity"]
["TargetTemperature"]
["homekit:HeatingCoolingMode"]

Try Switchable or Outlet

@ahmeaqas

“state”: “NULL”,

edit: also for the Item to work with GA, it has to receive at least 1 state update since startup

It needs to appear on openHAB Cloud - Log in before it can be used with GA
