Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration Topic is solved

[Madgeni]

Hi @jaschu - Still waiting for Amazon to certify it, as soon as it's live, i'll put it in here

Thanks Gomario - i'm really pleased it's useful - all donations welcome - link below

[ImNtReal]

hmm, well i don't mind, as long as the connection to domoticz is https. I'll trawl through the logs in the morning and we'll fix it
DNS now ok - think it could be an intermittent issue between godaddy and route53

I'm still having trouble linking accounts. Did you find anything in the logs? PM me if having my e-mail address or other info would be helpful. Thanks.

[Madgeni]

ok, let's get you working PM me your email address, and i'll take a look at the backend logs

[Scoobydoo]

Thanks Scoobydoo - can I ask you give it a review on Amazon?

Done. Thanks again

[Madgeni]

So, Controlicz for Germany is now live! Test it, and spread the word

[blacksn0w]

Great! Can't find it on the Amazon page, do you have a link?

[Alcloud]

Glad to hear! But I also can not find it..

[Madgeni]

Might take a little while to appear I guess

[jaschu]

Hey Madgeni,

I see it now! So excitedt to test it later that day! Thank you!

[Madgeni]

can someone do me a favour, and update that facebook post? Thanks

@Madgeni
It works perfect! But I can not set/get temperature and light color.
Is it not possible for german version?

[Madgeni]

set/get temp *should* be working ok - however, I wonder how Alexa handles decimal places (in the UK we use . on the continent, you use ,) so maybe that's it?
Colour does need looking at - the data is being passed, i just need to work out how Domoticz takes it! Once it works, it will just 'work' for you, and won't require any changes on your side.
I'll look at it next

[Madgeni]

Looking at the logs, someone made a setpercentage (100%) request about 45 mins ago, and it seems to have responded correctly - I can't see who it was (you'll be pleased to hear )

[Madgeni]

updated the FAQs with the Friendly Name change. If you want your devices in Alexa to be different to the name in Domoticz - add Alexa_Name: then the name you want Alexa to understand in your Domoticz device Description field. Forget, then rediscover your devices in Alexa, and you're ready

@Madgeni
Sorry, it was my mistake, now set/get Temp works! And thanks for the possibility to change a device name. It's really usefull!

@Madgeni,

Really appreciate your work on Controlicz! Donation is coming up, after solving this one :

Most of my devices are discovered by Alexa:



But except for my central heating thermostat:



I included the device in the room plan, and the device is available to the domoticz user I configured in the Controlicz webportal.

Any thoughts?

[Madgeni]

weird! can you post a screenshot of the thermostat from Devices? What's the Type and SubType?

[Madgeni]

also, can you rerun a discovery, and post a timestamp in here?

Before I go to install: what are the exact advantages compared to HA bridge?

[remb0]

no ha-bridge software to maintain and host.
more out of the box.
