Dear Madgeni,

I face a challenge adding test Home Controlicz in GH...I allow the full-access but then Google says, after trying to link, it couldn't update the service and I need to check my connection. Any ideas?

sure - you just need to use https - i think the port you've given Controlicz is your http port

if you've enabled it in the simulator, then it should show up?

Hi Madgeni,

I now have changed the port in controlicz, this is the https port for Synology (https://MYID.synology.me and then credentials then you reach DSM), I have been able to install Let's Encrypt certificate. However I do not know how to reach domoticz in https, which is still available in http. Is there any way to fwd in DSM to Domoticz? E.g. the tutorials available did not solved the issue yet.
It might be out of your ballpark but who knows...

Thanks!

First a big thanks for your work Madgeni !

I subscribe to Controlicz and I work "hard" for make it work but nothing appear on my home app.

Do you have maybe just a simple tutorial how to make it work?

Thanks in advance for your work

Hi Madgeni,

I am running into some funky stuff here.
Initially I had problems getting connected to the service in GH. Finally, after adding a fresh new user in Domoticz, I had it up and running.
I used it for several days and I must say, it worked like a charm. Kudos for that! I noticed however that some of the names of my devices were not so practical (dutch names in an English Google Home) so I added some names in description fields.
Queriïng devices did not trigger the names to be added to my Google Home, so I went into the GH app and unlinked the Controlicz service. I then tried to link it agein, with the same credentials, and I got an error saying that my settings cannot be updated, please check your connection.
So, learning from my first experience, I added a new, fresh user and changed the settings on the Controlicz webpage. Same result!

Now, no matter what I do, I always get the same errormessage, using the newest credentials or the credentials that worked before!

Any suggestions?

Unm is blde.....com

I also have problems with Controlicz settings and my Domoticz setup, so it would be nice to have a button on the Controlicz profile page to test and check connection between Controlicz and Domoticz

urgh - I can look to add it, but honestly, this isn't the issue with bldewit - i can see the sync requests being made, and the responses back are fine. The Google apps are just, well, shit. They really don't respond well to change. When I first wrote this integration, it NEVER came back with a success at account linking, it just told me there was an error, you had to leave, and go back in.
And respectfully, if you want to change a device name, this just works, and the sync does work in Google (if Google itself is working).

If you change a user on the Domoticz side, as long as it has access to the devices - and those devices are in A room plan (or more than 1), and you're using https, and you can access it externally yourself, you're good to go.

Hey Madgeni,

can you leave a message if your selector switch impelentation is finished? Im happy to try it out!

sure thing. as far as I can tell, it's ready, BUT it's with Google, it seems you have to tell them (Seriously) if you want them to include a particular Mode name. I can imagine this not being a quick process..

What do you mean exactly?

[Madgeni]

pretty much what i put -

https://developers.google.com/actions/s ... aits/modes
the documentation has been cheekily changed since I raised this with them - initially they had "custom names need to be submitted to Google" - now they've put:
"Currently, you must use the names in the example JSON; custom names are not yet supported."
