Configuration

You can access the user interface via http://youripnr:8181. The default username is admin and the default password is smarthome. Configuration and Actions on Google must be modified properly.

Since Domoticz has improved its security, you have to enable Allow Basic Authentication over plain HTTP in menu Security .
Its recomended to add a new user in Domoticz dedicated for DZGA and add devices to this user. See User Management.

Device Configuraton

You can add nicknames, place devices in a room in your Google Assistant. The function hide ,hides devices from Google Assistant but you can still see this in UI as type '_Hidden'. Device configuration is availible in UI in devices tab or put the device configuration in the device description, in a section between 'voicecontrol' tags like:

<voicecontrol>
   nicknames = Kitchen Blind One, Left Blind, Blue Blind
   room = Kitchen
   ack = True
   devicetype = oven
   minThreehold = -10
   maxThreehold = 10
   hide = True
   camurl = http://livefeed.mycam.com:8080
   actual_temp_idx = 345
   selector_modes_idx = 346
</voicecontrol>

Other parts of the description are ignored, so you can still leave other useful descriptions. Every variable should be on a separate line.
