TIANE sample

Using the TIANE-Discord sample bundle

The TIANE-Discord example bundle in samples/tiane-discord shows how to make TIANE act as a discord bot. TIANE is a German open source smart home assistant written in python. Here is a guide to how to get it working.

Prerequisites

You will need a working nodecg-io installation. If you have non yet take a look at installation guide. You may need to install this bundle, so take a look at the “Try an included sample”-Guide. It will also tell you how to log in and how to use the GUI.

You also need:

A working TIANE server installation. (No room client required)
a Discord Bot token

Note

If you don't Discord Bot token yet, you can follow this guide.

Configure the TIANE sample bundle

Edit the file samples/tiane-discord/extension/index.ts. Look for this line:
```
const discordChannel = ""; // Insert channel for the discord bot here
```
Put the channel ID of a discord channel where you want to talk to TIANE between the quotation marks. See here to find out how to get a channel ID.
Run npm run build in the main nodecg-io directory.
Edit the file server/TIANE_config.json on your TIANE server:
```
{
    "websocket": "enabled",
    "websocket_port": 19526,
    "websocket_timeout": 20
}
```
Make sure websocket is either set to enabled or secure and set a port of your desire.
In the NodeCG dashboard, create a new TIANE service instance.
Enter address of the TIANE-Server. Enter host and port you just set in server/TIANE_config.json in this format:
```
{
    "address": "127.0.0.1:19526"
}
```
After entering it, click save.
Create a new Discord service instance.
Set the sample's (tiane-discord) dependencies to be the newly created service instances (of type tiane & discord).
Ping your discord bot in the channel you set in the first step and ask TIANE something.
