Turn on voice control in Chrome (local dashboard)

One Chrome setting lets the local dashboard use your microphone, so you can talk to Fraddo.

Talk to FraddoUpdated October 14, 2026

Chrome only allows the microphone on secure pages. The local dashboard of your Fradomos box (for example http://192.168.1.50:8080) is on your own network and is not "https", so Chrome says no. One setting tells Chrome to trust your box, and only your box.

Note: Do this once on every computer where you want to talk to Fraddo. It works in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (use edge://flags). Safari and Firefox do not have this setting. On an iPhone use the Fradomos app.

Find your address

Copy the address you type to open the local dashboard, for example http://192.168.1.50:8080. Keep http:// at the start and the port number at the end. Nothing after the port.

Turn it on

  1. Click the address bar of Chrome, type chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure and press Enter.
  2. Chrome shows Insecure origins treated as secure, highlighted in yellow. Click the empty box under it.
The setting "Insecure origins treated as secure" in chrome://flags, with the empty box marked
Step 2: the empty box under the yellow title.
  1. Type the address of your local dashboard in the box. For more than one box, put a comma between the addresses.
  2. Change the drop-down on the right from Disabled to Enabled.
  3. Click Relaunch at the bottom. Chrome closes and opens again with your tabs.
The address typed in the box, the drop-down set to Enabled and the Relaunch button marked
Steps 3 to 5: the address, Enabled, then Relaunch.

Talk to Fraddo

  1. Open your local dashboard. A round microphone button is in the bottom-right corner.

Step 6: the microphone button.
  1. Click it. The first time, Chrome asks to use your microphone. Click Allow.
  2. Fraddo says hello and listens. Say, for example, “Turn on the light in the bedroom”. You can also type the command in the box.
Fraddo answering "Ceiling light in the Bedroom is on."
Step 8: Fraddo answers and the page behind goes blurry.

If it does not work

  • Look at the address in the Chrome box again. It must be exactly the one in your address bar, with http:// and the port, and no slash at the end.
  • Did you click Relaunch? The setting only works after Chrome starts again.
  • Click the icon at the left of the address bar, open Site settings and set Microphone to Allow.
  • No microphone on the computer? You can still type commands to Fraddo.
Careful: This setting makes Chrome trust one address as if it were secure. Use it only for your own Fradomos box, never for a website you do not know. To undo it, set the drop-down back to Default and relaunch Chrome.
Tip: Chrome's speech service turns your voice into words. Fradomos only receives the words, never the sound.
