[boris91530]

thanks o have ad me does it s possible to read a temperature of domoticz capteur? i have 10 oregons and my wife hops to tell: "ok google quel temperature fait il dehors?" wel li m french and hops you can anderstand mi question

[Madgeni]

Should be ok? "What's the temperature in the <device>?

[mblack2187]

This is very cool. Got it all up and running except 1 small problem. My temperatures in domoticz are set up for Fahrenheit, but trying to ask for or set the thermostat temperature Alexa converts them as if they were Celsius. Am I doing something wrong ??

[Madgeni]

hi - i pass Celsius. I'll see if the Domoticz API provides the scale and i can change it.

[mblack2187]

It appears that it is passing the Farenheit value, but indicating to Alexa that it is Celcius value, which she then converts to Farenheit resulting in Alexa reporting that it is 159 degrees in the house instead of the 71 degrees Farenheit that it actually is.
Many thanks for all of the work and the countless hours of help.

[Madgeni]

o_0 do you live in the Sun?

The snag is that Alexa will only take Celsius, fahrenheit or kelvin - but Domoticz doesn't provide a scale in the device detail

[DieHappy]

Wow this works really created. I have it up and running with my synology 214play. You only have to port forward 8084!!!

[DieHappy]

I question: how do I ad controlicz in domoticz to use the friendly name ad my switches???

[Madgeni]

Hi - in the Devices tab of Domoticz, select 'edit' for a device, then in the Description field put Controlicz:<friendlyname> then when you rediscover, these should be in your Alexa app

[gl4di4tor81]

Hi all,

i had to re-initiate domoticz <> controlicz <> alexa, but since then, i cannot set percentage of a scene anymore. Alexa won`t dim my scene to certain level.
In domoticz:
3x Fibaro roller shutter, configured as blinds percentage.
Scene with all these blinds
Controlicz to domoticz works, scene is imported into alexa

I can set percentage of each switch by voice, but the whole scene is not working?

Any ideas or help would be appreciated
Thanks guys!
