Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration Topic is solved

[Kerel]

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

Device:

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

09:31, CEST time.

[Madgeni]

ok, so the Type is "Heating", which isn't currently discovered. I'll change it, and we'll see what happens!

[Kerel]

Great! Will test later on .

[Madgeni]

Can you try now?

[IDANIT]

Great Job, Keep up. Can't add a review "We were unable to submit your review at this time."

[Madgeni]

Thanks IDANIT - can I ask you to try again when you get a chance? Cheers

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

In that case I'll keep with HA bridge, for the moment.

I'm curious as to why?

Hey Madgeni, could you please help me. i cannot get controlicz working.

Got https working and can login remote.
My switches and scenes are in a room plan but when i discover in Alexa nothing is found.

I can see your server ip in the logging but only once! Would expect your ip every time i hit discover in Alexa.

[Madgeni]

Hi Floppy - i'll look now. Can you PM me the email address you've used?

[Floppy]

THX for your PM. I cannot reply probably because this was my first post

Changed my password and did a reboot but still no devices found.

[Madgeni]

pleased to announce that Set Colour (Alexa - change the kitchen light colour to red) now works Please try and let me know!

Think this might be an ISP issue

@Madgeni
Set Colour works now like a charm! Thank you very much!

[Madgeni]

Glad it's of use - can I ask that you leave a review on Amazon? Thanks!

1)I don't have roomplans. Making them, -to me- sounds like similar effort to maintain HA bridge. Both are simple tasks, but hey, what's the win?
Also, with one Alexa device I want to command my entire house, so why roomplans?
2)Disadvantages of HAbridge are not tackled:
- the commands are not intuitive. "Alexa,turn door on" should be "Alexa, lower the door screen".
- it's been long ago since HA installation, but if I remember correct, not all keywords were allowed (limited, try and error) and I could not get it to more then one keyword, so "screens kitchen" did not work

I use HA Bridge on a daily basis to switch screens and lights.

I think You missing the point. We talking this kind of roomplans.

As You can see I have three rooms which I can steer with one alexa. Adding room and devices to it, is easy like 123... and it takes no more than couple of seconds.

[Madgeni]

Thanks IDANIT - to be fair to renerene, Alexa doesn't currently have the language for open/close/up/down - but they will come. I also believe (i've never used the HA bridge myself) that the native skill has more functionality than the bridge, and again, more will come!

Got my Thermostat discovered now and I'm able to read the temperature, thanks! But I'm not able to set the temperature with Alexa. What info should I share with you to have a look at this? I'm using a Honeywell thermostat of type "Round Connected" and using the "Evohome" plugin in Domoticz.

dropped you a PM
