In case anyone is interested, I modified the example.js file again to accept GET requests instead of POST so it can be triggered by CoRE without having to modify CoRE code. I have 3 GH devices, so this is set up to send requests to different ones by hitting different endpoints. If you make requests to all 3 endpoints at the same time (like the piston below), it will execute the commands in parallel so the notifications come out mostly at the same time. Unless you have 3 GH’s in the Office, Kitchen, and Master Bedroom you’ll probably want to tweak to fit your needs.
Example.js script:
var express = require('express');
var officeGH = require('./google-home-notifier');
var kitchenGH = require('./google-home-notifier');
var mbrGH = require('./google-home-notifier');
var app = express();
const servicePort = 8071;
const officeIP = '192.168.0.112';
const kitchenIP = '192.168.0.121';
const mbrIP = '192.168.0.119';
app.listen(servicePort, function () {
console.log('http://192.168.0.110:8071/(gh-location)?text=hello');
})
app.get('/gh-office', function (req, res) {
if(!req.query) return res.sendStatus(400)
console.log(req.query);
var officeText = req.query.text;
if(officeText) {
res.send(officeIP + ' will say: ' + officeText + '\n');
officeGH.notify(officeText, officeIP, function(res) {
console.log(res + ' ' + officeIP + ' (office)');
});
} else {
res.send('Office: Please GET "text=hello"');
}
})
app.get('/gh-kitchen', function (req, res) {
if(!req.query) return res.sendStatus(400)
console.log(req.query);
var kitchenText = req.query.text;
if(kitchenText) {
res.send(kitchenIP + ' will say: ' + kitchenText + '\n');
kitchenGH.notify(kitchenText, kitchenIP, function(res) {
console.log(res + ' ' + kitchenIP + ' (kitchen)');
});
} else {
res.send('Kitchen: Please GET "text=hello"');
}
})
app.get('/gh-mbr', function (req, res) {
if(!req.query) return res.sendStatus(400)
console.log(req.query);
var mbrText = req.query.text;
if(mbrText) {
res.send(mbrIP + ' will say: ' + mbrText + '\n');
mbrGH.notify(mbrText, mbrIP, function(res) {
console.log(res + ' ' + mbrIP + ' (mbr)');
});
} else {
res.send('MBR: Please GET "text=hello"');
}
})
Here’s the piston:. Requests are send as FORM and send the variable named {text}, where {text} contains whatever you want GH to say.
