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

[Failure404]

I am not able anymore to sync my devices.
Any issue with that at the moment??

Same here unfortunately.

[gijsje]

Because i did change some lights in domoticz and sync is not working i did remove Controlicz from the google home setup to set it up again and now it does not chow up in the list anymore

Thats very strange as this was no issue in the past

Does exist any command for timer ex: ok google, turn on wattering for 10 minutes.

Re: Controlicz not appearing in Home app list of new services.

So, I went to the Google simulator console and changed the language from US English to UK English, I don't think this in itself is of any significance but what it did do, was to effectively re-initialise the hometest. So I could then go back to the Home app and test Controlicz appeared in the new services list.

Now all is fine again. Sorry again for raising this as a problem but you never know it could be useful for someone.

@gijsje
Maybe try the above, or similar, as it worked for me. I think it's a 'Google thing'.

[gijsje]

US English or UK English does not make a difference on my phone
Dont know what the simulator is

No, not to change the language on the phone but in the google console, using the link to 'https://console.actions.google.com' that madgeni sent you when you joined Controlicz.
I'm not saying that this is the correct way or even a sensible way to get Controlicz bacck in the list but it worked for me.

It works now i had to start the simulator again i think i have not been on there for some time

Is there an issue now with controlling the color of the lights?
With any color they change to some kind of blue

[gijsje]

[gijsje]

If i ask for white it gives me "cold" white


If i ask for "warm white" is gives me between cold and warm white


If i change it to warm white on the remote on the milight remote it gives me warm white

@madgeni
Excellent, works perfectly with my RGB + white ( single colour temperature ) lamps.

No more need for bodges! Much better. Well done, I knew that you would sort it.

Although maybe the is still a bit of fiddling required for the variable colour temperature lamps.

[Madgeni]

great! "Dim <device> by x%" should now work also.

will look at warmth now

[alanlsmith]

great! "Dim <device> by x%" should now work also.

Seems a bit variable, sometimes I get the response 'It looks like these lights haven't been set up yet......' but also:
Me: dim the lights by 20% , Google: Sure, dimming the lights by 20%, lights: dim by 20% (I was pleased, then...
Me: dim the lights by 20% , Google: Sure, dimming the lights by 20%, lights: turn off.
Me: dim the lights by 20%, Google: Sure, setting the lights to 20%, lights: set to 20%.
Me: brighten the lights by 20%, Google: Sure, brightening the lights by 20%, lights: not changed.

Of course a lot of this could be me, as you start to stutter a bit after repeatedly saying variations of the same phrase, or it could be that Google just got ticked off with me for endlessly adjusting the same lamp.

I think 'set to nn%' doesn't work now but ' dim to' and 'brighten to' does.

So not very conclusive at the moment I'm afraid.

Hello Madgeni I have registered and tested connection OK, can you add me tot the Beta programme ?
Drij*****t@gm***.com thnx !

[Madgeni]

ok, so you can set a light's percentage. You can dim a light by a percentage. What you can't currently do is either set/dim the percentage on a light that has already had one of those things done (due to Domoticz setting the state to 'Set Level' - grrr). Will look at it.

I'm worrying, as i've finally, FINALLY, got Google to test it - they'll be doing it on Monday.
