KNX and Google Home

[MikeMelga]

Hi.

I bought some google home devices to start voice controlling my KNX devices. I currently use eventghost (on a dedicated server) and Gira Home Server to control my house.
I've seen some hardware devices to bridge the 2 systems together but I was looking for a cheaper, software only option.

What are you using for that? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Regards,
Mike

derPaul,

Thank you!

Did you install it all manually on a system or in a VM or did you use a (almost ready) Docker which can do: KNX + Google + Homebridge ?

Hey Roel, i let this run into Docker on my Synology.

This Container : https://hub.docker.com/r/oznu/homebridge

derPaul,

Perhaps you can help me a bit further...
I am having trouble running KNXD and Homebridge on the same docker server. I seems that homebridge can't see knxd when it is running on another container.
Is there any way I can run both containers on the same machine?

Thanks.

[derPaul]

whats your network configuration of your container? host or bridge?

in my setup both container running on the same host, and the network ist configured as host network

Thanks!
I figured out what I was doing wrong: I was running knxd without the -i parameter. It was enough for Homebridge to complain about missing knxd

Thanks again.
