Hello, You would have some sample code to send a notification, I already activated it on the Smart NORA site, and I already made the node, but I get an error message.

Not a valid notification object: [{"keyword":"additionalProperties","dataPath":"","schemaPath":"#/additionalProperties","params":{"additionalProperty":"0"},"message":"should NOT have additional properties"}]

Hi, I have a problem with the fan node when I am not using the percentage to control it.
There are 3 speeds defined: low, medium & high but when I change any of them or add / delete one it doesn't work.
When I click on Done in Node-RED it will not save any of the configured custom speeds.
So I am only able to use the low, medium & high speeds with Google Assistant.

Adding new nodes gives the following error from time to time when deploying a node-red flow:
nora: FirebaseError: Firebase: Firebase App named '[DEFAULT]' already exists (app/duplicate-app).

Subsequently followed by:
nora: trying again in xx.x sec

My deployment method in node-red is set to "modified nodes only". Extract after deployment:

11 Feb 15:15:00 - [info] Starting modified nodes
11 Feb 15:15:00 - [info] Started modified nodes
11 Feb 15:15:09 - [error] nora: FirebaseError: Firebase: Firebase App named '[DEFAULT]' already exists (app/duplicate-app).
11 Feb 15:15:09 - [warn] nora: trying again in 57.5 sec

Is there any chance that you could add the SENSOR device.
It would provide a great deal of flexibility for node-RED IoT users, who are using local sensors.
For example; a lot of users use DS18B20 temperature modules, but using the existing THERMOSTAT device, google insists on announcing the heating set point, so cannot be used.
With the SENSOR device, just temperature could be selected as a trait.

Thank you for the excellent work on the new Smart NORA, it works great!

I noticed the thermostat node rounds the ambient temperature by half a degree. So if the input of temperature is "19.3" the value in Google home is rounded to "19.5". It would be nice if the temperature value can have a higher resolution of 0.1 degree.

He Andrei,

Added the node-red nodes and made a account.
I see you are in alpha testing you need any help with that?
I see that there are no possibilities to link to google home so far.

Rick

All nodes have a topic field. What is it used for? MQTT?

Hi, this is the problem so I can't test it. Any way to solve it?
I woud report 2 other problems:
when autentication fails (password wrong) on the second time it quits form node red. It would be better to report it only and stop attempting to don't create the need for password resetting.
When 2 factor is enabled it never asked me the pin (for lock node), and other nodes stop working properly, I've disabled it and won't use lock

Hi,
can you add support for custom conversational actions?
I saw that it should be possible by using Google Assistant’s voice API.
It would be great to have your own voice commands and Google Assistant and returns the corresponding response.
What do you think?

Hi! Thanks for SmartNora :) I'm testing it, are them still unavailable for touch operations? (Damn Google is taking more than one year to implement curtains.. ). Any trick for curtains? )

FOr Garage and lock I have "device must have 2FA pin" but I don't know what is about, I don't see them in Google home

I have installed Smart Nora and migrated my devices/
Everything shows up on the Google Home panel on my Android phone, and I can switch everything just fine by clicking the icons.
But when I try to control them with voice control, Google complains that the lamps have not bee set yet.
This could be a Google Home issue, but I cannot find any clue....

Hey there,
i'm working on a small project with a Light node and Tasmota Firmware.
I have big problems with the Light node not being able to give me the values i need for tasmota. (NORA= HSV, Tasmota=hsb)
I've seen that the Light node already does show a Hex (#00ff00) value in it's stat string, would it be possible to have that as a payload color in a upcomming version ?
Would ease mutch work.

Hello @andrei-tatar,

I added two lights in two groups, the "Woonkamer" group and the "Jasper" group. After a few days I deleted the lights and then deleted the config nodes in Node-RED so I can use the new version with a new group. But still after a new sync I still saw the lights in the Google app. So I went to the nora-firebase website to delete the groups there but unfortunately I can not delete the groups. Now I am stuck with 4 lights in the Google app with no use. Is this a bug or did I something wrong?

I recently tried Smart Nora, added the light node with RGB support(HSV), connected it to a debug node, and the node red server never started again, and says the following error:

It would be awesome to have media player nodes for things like TVs and Receivers.
This would be necessary to use commands like "Pause TV".

Version: 1.0.2

I have currently 5 devices in my home app(also visible in MyNora).
Tried to do a notify with no result.
I have used the "click here to receive notifications" which reacts with "subscribed succesfuly" .

Node red error below :
while updating state HTTP response (400 {"description":"user has no device(s) subscribed"}): Error: HTTP response (400 {"description":"user has no device(s) subscribed"}) at FirebaseSync.doHttpCall (/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-smartnora/build/firebase/sync.js:192:27) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

Firstly thank you for this integration!

I Would like to know if there would be support for more devices like television .
also is there a place where we can follow the development/upcoming features?

Thanks and Regards

I am using a Google Home device to control the Smart Nora nodes. Unfortunately the nodes all show a green status icon so they are obviously using a cloud connection.
The Google Home is connected by wifi, the Home Assistant by LAN but they are on the same network.
How can I identify the reason for this behavior.

Thank you!

When I trigger dimmers via Speech commands, I receive the following warnings:

The device appears in my Google Home app. It works intermittently and sometimes it is shown as "Not responding". Any suggestions ?

Hi, I have a problem with the response of Google Assistant when using the Sensor node.
When I ask what the temperature or humidity is, it will respond like this:
The Temperature is set to 21 degrees and is now 10 degrees
The Humidity is set to 40 percent, and the current humidity value is 60 percent
Why is Google Assistant saying that the temperature / humidity is set to something while it is not possible to do that?

First of all I want to thank you for this great integration.

What is missing is a node supporting a custom command. One way I currently use to start custom flows is the Scene node. But there is a catch: I have to say "Start My Node". Just saying "My Node" won't start it.
Additionally it would be great to have custom parameters that you can say in addition. For example to have my TV be turned on and switched to a channel and my AVR be set to a desired volume I would have to use several commands right now.

I would love to be able to use custom commands like "Show {channel name} [with {50}% volume]". Therefore We could use a custom node that enables us to specify the command and parameters (which we could then use in the flow).

Is this possible? That would be awesome!

Thanks and best regards

Hi, your smartnora plugin for integration Google Home assistant with Node-RED is excellent. Till now everything is working just fine. The only issue I have is disconnected devices from time to time in Google HA (Home Assistant) on my phone. I did't find exact reason but is it possible this issue is caused by restarting ADSL modem (and internet connection) from my internet provider. Usually when devices in HA are listed as "disconnected" I just have to restart flows and this problem is gone. Now I'm searching how to automatically restart flows every day or maybe there is a way to "force" smartnora to reconnect / restart. If there is any info where to look or what to tweak I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance ...

Is possible to add expression to input for all nodes?. I have to send a specific message:
{ "data": { "zone": '{"selects":[[5,1,1,2,1],[3,1,1,2,2],[1,1,1,2,3],[2,1,1,2,4],[4,1,1,2,5],[6,1,1,2,6]]}', "repeats": "1" }
Its should be work with JSON like following:
{ "data": { "zone": "{\"selects\":[[5,1,1,2,1],[3,1,1,2,2],[1,1,1,2,3],[2,1,1,2,4],[4,1,1,2,5],[6,1,1,2,6]]}", "repeats": "1" } }
But unfortunately does not.

I noticed this for some time now.

i can set the setpoint with a resolution of .1 degrees but the temperature itself is rounded to .5 degrees.

should it not be the other way around
setpoint with .5 degrees like a regular thermostat but the actual temperature with a .1 degree resolution

When I change the color from Google Home, the return value of the HSV color it's always

hue: 0
saturation: 0
value: 1

The RGB value chages right.

Hi, I had an issue with passwords, should change it, then Nora attempts too many times with old password and now there is NO WAY to make nora connect again. Amazing. I've changed password, all is work on my pc (the same PC i'm running Node Red) I'm sure I typed on nora the right password!
What can I do? Shoud I change completely the google accoiunt on my phone?

Another problem, at second attempt, failing too, node red quits! I should reload it manually. Thsi is not correct too

I'm using a switch node to control a sonoff switch with tasmota firmware. The topic is -
switch/cmnd/POWER and the payload either 1 or 0.
The switch node does not accept the numeric payload and reverts to the string option.
When deployed the node reports a proble (orange triangle) but actuall works in Google Home.
Any suggestions?

It's not really clear to me if I can actually use and test this or not??
Seems the documentation is a mix from the old NORA and the new?

I have created an account and have also installed node-red-contrib-smartnora. I can add a light to my flows for instance but it doesn't seem to want to work with my google home app. The light doesn't show up which seems logical as I only see the 'old' nora stuff. Do I need to add something else to that app?

cheers

Add support for AC device type.
https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/guides/acunit

All the required traits are already supported by the backend, only node-red node code is needed.

Evening

I have been using Nora for some time and I am generally satisfied. Is there a guide or something to move from Nora to smart nora? I think the following steps need to be done, but I would like some confirmation about that:

1. unlink Nora from google home
2. uninstall the Nora contrib from node-red
3. follow the new guide

Ron

I see my home devices but i do not see
"under each there will be the Local Execution NORA script."

Диапазон температур остаётся 20-32 градуса. The temperature range remains 20-32 degrees.

Hello,

I'm trying to set online:false for switch/outlet doesn't seem to work, works fine with light. I have even used the flow json example still no dice

nora (Smart): socket connection error: Error: xhr poll error". Try many times to reinstall, but it still ends with this error

Would it be possible to add a new feature to the "open/close" node so that when the gate is already open, the payload would not be sent when you tried to open it again? My idea is tu use input status to check when is really opened or closed and depending on the state and it would not pass the payload with the same command as it is currently in the status of the node.
It would be nice if the speaker also informed that the device is already open or close depending current state.

For the past three or four days I constantly have to re-discover my devices in the Google App under Smart-NORA. Each time there is only one device as listed so I have to refresh the link in Node-Red and then when I go back into the Google App all 21 devices are back again. I then have to go into each device and add it back into its right room. Am I the only one having this issue. I don't restart NodeRed I just uncheck the local execution support and then recheck it and then redeploy NodeRed. After this all devices come back

Hi,
I'm new to node-red and just starting to use the system with Nora to connect my old S7 plc to the new home automation world.

I tried some nodes out. For the moment the light is the only one that responds to a visual status on Google home app.
I also have blinds and the generic open/close. Both seem to respond in node-red to the status I inject, but on Google home App they stay unchanged with the gear icon indication. I can command only by voice.
Is there a list of what nodes do update the status on Google Home and can be activated via the app screen ?
When will those other nodes then have this feature ?

Thank you,
Jan

Hello, thank you for the job) Is there any plan to add sensor support ? At the moment i add thermostat that show me actual temperature at home) But as i understand there is a sensor in device types...

I just stumbled accross a bug regarding TwoFactor Authentification: Independent the setting for the Two Factor behaviour the Google Assistant keeps asking me if I’m sure to perfom the action (TwoFactor setting „Acknowledge“). For the same reason using the device in routines or in the Home-App won‘t work, just voice commands.

So far I tested it with the switch-device on 1.0.4 & 1.0.5

I have 7 blinds at home. I used to control them together by "open the blinds", "close the blinds" voice command. All was fine. Since 2 days ago, my Nest Hub responds "opening/closing xxx blind". It picks one of my blinds (always the same) and controls only that. Even though it shows all 7 devices on the screen. Even if I say "open all the blinds", it still only controls that one.

I checked my flow, maybe the other blinds are in a different position, but no. If all my blinds are 100% and ask to "open the blinds", it will still say "OK, opening xxx blind".

Hi,

user id is r53vj694TYgtSWAQKsDVaCZJJgk1.

Currently I receive the following information in the Debug pane, from Nora and I have no clue, what the root cause is.
I'm even not sure, whether this a Smart Nora or a Firebase issue. Any ideas?

Hello @andrei-tatar,

I saw your comment #50 and thought, that if it is so easy to suppress a voice response in Google Assistant, would it be possible to add a response.

I have a thermostat in the living room and mode, current temperature and set-point is supported.

If I ask the Google Assistant e.g.: "What is the temperature in the Living Room" (in Dutch), the Assistant answers e.g. (in Dutch): "The thermostat is in automatic mode and the set-point has been set to 22 degrees" (Which is correct) But no response, regarding the current temperature.

With the sensor node, you were able to suppress the useless set-point, but I wonder, is it possible to add the useful answer, regarding the temperature in the thermostat node?

Regards

I'm trying to get the ambient temperature from Domoticz using Nora to Google assistant but I cannot get the accurate value. I mean the value is rounded without decimals. Instead to show me 21.8 it's showing 22. Is it any configuration that need to be done to display the value with decimals? I have it in this format in payload but the nora node is rounded it.

Hi,

I'm having an issue without any idea how to start trying to resolve it when installing smart nora on a raspberry pi 1.

Here are the logs :

Had no problem on the rpi3, is the rpi1 too old to host the node red server with nora ?

Thanks !

.. Or do I need to be added somewhere to test the new implementation ;)

Good companions. It is happening to me that devices that were working on Saturday with smart NORA, stopped working, when I asked Google home or Google home mini to turn on a light, it replied that the Smart Nora service is not available or that the light is not available. Verify in MyNora and the devices appear, I have the most recent version of Smart Nora and in the Node network the Smart Nora nodes appear in OK and the status is green. In the google Home app the devices appear but when I try to change their status, it appears offline. Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your comments.
