Controlicz - Domoticz to Google Home/Assistant integration Topic is solved

[Madgeni]

YES! I'm so pleased it's working for you
Any problems or requests - let me know

Hi, Its working for me too.
One question, if I add or remove a device from a room how do I get the change reflected in GH? So far I've been removing the plugin & re adding it.

You also said temperature was working, is this a set only function? I have tried to ask whats the Lounge temperature but I get a generic answer I don't know that but i'm learning etc.
Great project, thanks.

Hi - google's resync is weird. Whereas Alexa runs background discoveries to keep a reasonably accurate list of devices, Google doesn't do that.
I trigger those resyncs everytime you do something - so if you query a device, that will refresh your device list.

Re: Temps - yes, it's working. I can both query a temp device ("What's the temperature of the <device>?", or if it's a room, "what's the temperature in the barn?")

Thanks, I'll have a go tonight when I'm home.

[Madgeni]

please do - if it doesn't work, drop me a PM, and i'll take a look at the logs and see what it's doing

Just got my first home mini inspired by this thread. Already signed up on controlicz. I will send you an email! Keep up the good work and let us know how we can by you a beer!

*Edit* Beer is on its way!

Thank you so much! Donations aren't just a nice thing (they are) but they go towards paying for the hosting of Controlicz - much appreciated

Any users here with a google home or home mini who got it working? i've followed the install steps and in the home app under manage accounts i've added the home controlicz. i now see 9 additional devices but i'm not able to control them by voice. am i missing something or?

Did you use the same account that the one who register your Google Home ?

@Madgeni , I still have some probleme to show all my device, only 6 are show from 96 i have, it can be perfect if we can manage which one to drive with google home/Alexa, i don't care about PIR, or door sensor...Unfortunaly, choosing device in Domoticz user interface doesn't work...any idea on this ?

Yes, and i can see 9 devices in my home app. So the connection is there. But how do i speak a command to controlicz? if i say Hey google, Turn on the kitchen lights. there is no positieve reaction

It s working for me.
On the home app,maybe try to assign them to a room and change their nickname. I tried with name completely différents like : "silver cat". It worked, then i choose something Closer to what i wanted

As far as i understand, devices needs to be assigned to a plan in domoticz, and light switch "picture" in domoticz should be set to "generic"

This is what I got in the Google Home App. What command do you give? OK Google, talk to controlicz? And then turn on silver cat?

[Madgeni]

Hi - it's misleading (not my fault) - you don't need to launch it - just say Ok Google - turn off the thing

You can assign the devices you want to control via Alexa/Google to the user that Controlicz uses. If you have 96 devices in room plans, and you're not seeing them, then there's a problem. I'll take a look

Working fine for me, I did find I needed to assign Temperatures to Rooms for them to work, lights\switches would work either way.

I also had a conflict with a sensor I have called "Inside Temperature" it would return all my temp sensors when I asked "What's the Inside Temperature" I renamed my room from Inside to House and now it works asking "What's the House Temperature". So there are some "names" that google seem to have reserved for some functions.

Ahhh this is an interesting thought for me, I was asking you able a filter option in description, but If I just remove access to my Controlicz users to any device I want filtered that should work?

Thanks,

[Madgeni]

yes

[Wob76]

yes

and it works a treat, I should have thought of that.. List is a little more manageable now.
