Hi

I´m using arduino IDE 1.8.8 and Esp8266 2.5 core

In your Library I deleted ESP8266mDNS.cpp and ESP8266mDNS.h

in your sample esp8266>NotificationServer I have these first 4 lines

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <esp8266-google-home-notifier.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>

When I try to compile to my board Nodemcu 1.0 I got this error:

C:\Users\MarceloLG\Documents\ARDUINO-VARIOS\Arduino\libraries\esp8266-google-home-notifier\src\esp8266-google-home-notifier.cpp: In member function 'boolean GoogleHomeNotifier::device(const char, const char, int)':

C:\Users\MarceloLG\Documents\ARDUINO-VARIOS\Arduino\libraries\esp8266-google-home-notifier\src\esp8266-google-home-notifier.cpp:33:33: error: 'using MDNSResponder = class esp8266::MDNSImplementation::MDNSResponder' has no member named 'txt'

       if (strcmp(name, MDNS.txt(i, "fn").c_str()) == 0) {

                             ^

exit status 1
Erro compilando para a placa NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)**

Can you help me please ?

Thanks so much

Sorry for your inconvinient.

I haven't tried ESP8266 core 2.5 with this library.
# README.md was written before releasing 2.5, so I have to fix the document.

Could you please rollback it to 2.4.1, and copile again?

Thanks for your attention

I rollback to 2.4.1 and occurs the same error:

It would be nice if I can cast audio phrase from Nodemcu to my Google Home

Any Idea ?

Thanks again

Could you please let me know if the error occurs when the files aren't deleted?

FANTASTIC !!!!!

If I don't delete the files and WORKS GREAT !!!!!

Thank you, Thank you SO MUCH !!!!!

I can cast a audio phrase from my nodemcu to my Google Home.

Excelent Library. Very Good Job.

I have only one more question please:

This Lybrary works only if my Google Home and my nodemcu be in the same local network.

But if I wat to cast audio from nodemcu to my Google Home over Internet, its possible ?

I guess that in this case will be necessary a Google api ? Or there is other way ?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!

[saintchelo]

And other question please:

I notice that the speech velocity in my google home when casting is a bit slow.

Ther is a way to increase the velocity of audio casted from nodemcu to Goggle Home ?

Thanks a lot

By the way, this is a FANTASTIC Library !!!!

[horihiro]

I'm glad to hear that you're succeeded to cast. 🎉🎉

I answer your two questions.

Question1: Is there any way to cast to Google Home from the internet?
-> No, it need to cast to Google Home directly, so something to cast should be in the local network which Google Home connected.

Question2: Is there any way to change speech velocity?
-> It's esp8266-google-tts's issue which this library depends on.
esp8266-google-home-notifier library just cast url of mp3, which is generated by esp8266-google-tts, to Google Home.
And I don't know how to change speech velocity.

Thanks again.

I understood.

I need again a little help please:

In function ghn.notify("text to say"); I need to replace "text to say" by a variable.
I tried to create a String new_var = "hello"; but when I try to compile ghn.notify(new_var);
in arduino ide occurs the error:

no matching function for call to 'GoogleHomeNotifier::notify(String&)'

Can I doing something wrong ?

What kind of variable I can use to replace "text to say" in ghn.notify("text to say"); ?

Thanks so much for your attention again

[horihiro]

It's simple C/C++ question.

You can't use a String variable as an argument of notify method.
You have to convert to const char*, like following:

 if (ghn.notify(phrase.c_str()) != true) {

THANKS SO MUCH !

Now all is working perfectly, like your PERFECT LIBRARY.

Thank you

Hello,
I set up version 2.4.2 and the compilation goes smoothly.
I wanted to recompile my program because the phrases sent were no longer heard by googlehome.
I'm afraid Google is deleting its APIs as it has been saying lately.
I will try, and I'll let you know as soon as possible.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jean-Luc

Hi @JLNapo
Sorry for late reply because I don't watch closed issue.

I can't reproduce this.
Please create new issue if you still face this problem.

And please check using node.js with https://github.com/noelportugal/google-home-notifier before new issue.

Regards,
