Hi Phantom - i'm afraid not

Hi madgeni, I think it's great what you are doing with Controlicz, but is there any technical difficulties with implementing your code in domoticz software as an hardware plugin? I would prefer not to have an public ip address, I could easily pay for that plugin if's possible to implent the functionality directly in domoticz

[Madgeni]

Honestly? I've no idea!
What is necessary is an oauth2 server (to make it available 'natively' within Alexa or Google - This would need to be a centrally available service - like Philips Hue etc provide), then the oauth2 client (which *could* possibly be in Domoticz). There's alot of other work that would be necessary, as i've written an awful lot of code for the skills themselves.

Hi -
i built the Controlicz app for Alexa - and am pleased to announce that i'm extending to include Google (Home and Assistant).
It's currently in beta, but has been submitted for certification.
Functionality (subject to additional testing from users) is:

Discovery of devices
Control of switches (On/Off)
Control of lights (On/Off/Brightness)
Control of Scenes & Groups (On/Off)
Query of devices (is this thing on? What is the temperature of that?)

Awesome !

No it is not possible, despite many long conversations with various people responsible for the Developer side of Google Home - we are not the use case they are catering for. Because Google Assistant is/will be available on multiple devices - then Google want to go down the route of having an external server handling the authentication and control of your devices. To be fair they do make a good point - Google Home is a device that runs Google Assistant, but your phone does too - and if you ask Google Assistant to control your lights outside your network, or request the temperature of a room, it should work - and not fail just because you aren't connected to your own network.

asjmcguire is correct, but in companies like Amazon and Google's defence, people want the ubiquity of service. mainstream products like Hive/Nest/Hue etc are bringing the concept of IoT to the masses.
I think Domoticz needs to be able to provide this level of offering, with the right level of security, by default - especially as other OSS apps are starting to address and provide this type of service

Is Controlicz avaible yet for Google Assistant ? On Android ?
If yes, how can add it to Google Assistant ?

Thanks

Hi - it's still in Beta. It's passed the first round of Google review, but you're more than welcome to join the beta.
Sign up at Controlicz.com and PM me your email address, and i'll send you the instructions (they're straightforward).

I've tried a little this weekend.
Seems to work but I have some stranger anwser from GAssistant saying OK I'm turning on the light and Error I'm not able to control your house in the same message (Android). But the light is actually turn on and off.

[Madgeni]

ok, that is weird - i'll take a look

[evildonkey]

Im going to try this, i used to use Ha-Bridge but that doesn't work any more

[chatainsim]

I forgot the most important, I'm using Google Assistant in French.
Tell me if I can find logs or more informations somewhere.

[Madgeni]

It should work in French

[chatainsim]

It should work in French

I've also tried with Google AIY in english and I have the same issue.
It turn the lights on and say Ok, I'm turning eleven lights on, I'm sorry, there was an error and I'm unable to control your home devices.
And some of the lights doesn't turn On/Off.

the Controlicz app should be language agnostic - Google takes care of the language, the Intents are the same calls to Controlicz.

Hello,
I've bought a Google Home mini this weekend and Controlicz is not working with.
It steel work with Assistant on Android, any clue ?
I've tried to remove Controlicz and add it back in Google Home apps nothing change.

[Madgeni]

Hey, i'm afraid I don't have a Google Home, only the google assistant - if it's using the same account, it should be fine? Anyone else use both?

[maxtrash]

i can started testing from my actions. The project hometest is there, together with some of my own projects, and immediately ready for testing. However, it never asks for my controlicz account or password and my google home (assistant) doesn't recognize it. What did I do wrong?

I've managed to get the Node Red flows working but was wondering how I could modify the flow to output to multiple Google Homes at the same time? I just got my second device and would ideally like the response to come to the device that was triggering the request, but I'd settle for it playing back on all devices simultaneously.
