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

[deennoo]

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 ?

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"

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

The probleme isn't from you (maybe) :

If i use API order to Ask about all device using spécifique user login who only have accès to 10 devices, Domoticz show all the device who are available, not only the one of the user.

Hi -
i've just tested it, and that's not true. I have an account I use for testing (it only has access to a set out dummy devices of the various types).
If i use its credentials to perform (it's ok, not real details )
https://test:test@madgeni:443/json.htm? ... order=Name

those are the only devices it returns. If i use my normal admin account, all my devices are returned

Limiting the devices on my Controlicz account in Domoticz definitely worked for me.

OK i will test more and more

Hi Madgeni,
i have a quick question. I have a lot of different switches and temperature sensors in my home.

If i ask for a temp, google returned me the temp and the thermostat is off.
Could it be possible to add something to link a temperature sensor in domoticz to a switch to have a real thermostat ?

Your work is awesome.
Thanks a lot.

[Madgeni]

Hi ultratoto -
i'm not sure what you're asking? Do you mean if a sensor reaches a temperature, the switch does something (turns the heating on/up/down?)

[Thomasdc]

I think Ultratoto means:

you: 'whats the room temperature?'
Google: ' the temperatures is x degrees and the room temperatures is off'

the part of the answer: 'the room temperatrues is off'
i think he wants to link this to the actual state of the heating --> if the heating is on or not

[Madgeni]

yes, it's on my list - i do return the correct state, but Google just ignores me


Just a quick update on the review of Controlicz. It's not going well. Google want me to provide every possible type of hardware that Domoticz supports, by every type of manufacturer.
I've explained how Domoticz works, and how Controlicz works with it, and that I don't control the hardware, i interact via the Domoticz API, and Domoticz controls the hardware. I've pointed out that there are plenty of similar solutions listed as certified apps for Google Home, but they either want me to provide them with a full list, or i'll have to rewrite it all, and we'll lose alot of the functionality. It's not looking good.

[ultratoto14]

Yes, Thomasdc is on the right way, i tried to translate the french message, talking about a thermostat.
It seems that the google home temperature device is not only a temperature sensor but a temperature sensor and a heating status.

That would be just so lame...
Shame Google, Shame !

[Madgeni]

and when i say provide, they literally want me to ship them all of the devices. madness.

[mark.sellwood]

This is total madness by Google.
It also explains why Hive heating isn't integrated, are Hive going to send every type of boiler the Hive controls to Google? Me thinks not.

[Thomasdc]

Madgeni,

I really hope that google will understand your/our point of view. I really like using controlicz!
if there is anything we can do to help you out with the google guys.. let me know!

I really want to keep using controlicz!

[Madgeni]

i've challenged back, i've offered them access to my Domoticz instance to verify that when they say something, something else happens.
We'll see - completely different set of behaviours to Amazon

On my side i still have some problème on device liste.

I created an user (simple user) with only 1 device :

À dimmer lightning who is on a roomplan.

I update my controlicz account with this user.

Erase controlicz account from Home app, Clear app cache.

Reloggin on it, and controlicz continu to show me 5 devices (of course the spécifique one is here).

I didn't Saw on domoticz log, m'y spécial user connecting to domoticz.

Maybe can be good if on controlicz WE can have a "log" with connection and device discovering, is this on Real Time, or once / twice a day ?

[Madgeni]

PM me what the problem is.

I've added you 3 to the beta, should have an email

Every time you make a query, it rediscovers your devices. I'll take a look..
