the 'Controlicz name override' in the Domoticz description only provide a 'friendly name' for Google and Alexa, the actual names still apply

Funnily enough, I've changed the names in Domoticz to 'Living Room Lights' and 'Sofa Lights', again neither is in a room in the Home app and I can switch them on and off with Google but not set a dim level. I then tried another light and that won't dim either, they are LightwaveRF switches. Googles reply is either 'Sorry, it doesn't look like that device is not set up yet....' or 'Sure, setting <device> to <xx> percent brightness' but nothing happens to the light. Whilst the television volume via the 'Sony plugin by G3rard' slider switch works perfectly, Google still says brightness but it does the job.

you should try do say to dim your lights at a value around 4 %

does it work now? (for me, also rfxcom, it works between 0 and 16 % where 16 equals full brightness.. ) this was a problem i also had when i used the habridge..

[Madgeni]

I normalise those percentages Thomas, so that shouldn't be the issue.

It does actually work now. Requesting 32% gives 100% brightness, 16% = 50% this is with the LightwaveRF switches.
I remember that in HA-Bridge I added a calculation to interpret 'real' percentages to the 0-32 that the switches required.
As I said the television volume works one to one with requested percentage and actual percentage.

Incidentally the mi-light LEDs also work when requesting 0-100%, so maybe it's just a foible of the LightwaveRF switches?

Hi Madgeni,

Could you add me to the trial for Google Home please. The e-mail I've registered on Controlicz with is based on the username here.

done

[MichaelM]

Thanks for adding me to the beta.

I added the devices successfully and named the room "ventilation" and each button a different number from 0 to 3.
(I use domoticz to control my house's ventilation system)
When I say: "Hey Google turn on ventilation 1" , the google home confirms my voice command but nothing happens.

When I try to change the login on the controlicz site google assistant gives me an error, so the login and password were correctly filled in.

What might I have done wrong?

Hi MichaelM, what is google home answering to your commands ?
It seems that the right command is :
"Hey google turn on 1 in ventilation"

Hi - had a PM from MichaelM - this is all fixed

Step 5

The voice command I use is: hey Google, turn on ventilation 1.
A few seconds later she answers, 'Sure, turning on 1'

Really surprised how fast and easy it was.

My problem was caused by an older version of domoticz.
