Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration Topic is solved

[getget]

Hello, really good job

Is there somewhere a list of all understood phrases ?
Is there a way to have google Home say room temperature without thermostat state (I don't use thermostats) ?

Thanls

Hi -
there's no definitive list of phrases, and it will keep telling you it's "Off" until Google fix it

[RvdB]

too bad.. i'm doing it now with routines, but thats less flexibel ( "open the bike shed", "close the bike shed") it just use the literal sentence.

Ok, thanks
Does it work with Domoticz selector ?

@Madgeni, is Controlicz compatibel with the recent beta versions of Domoticz? Controlicz worked perfectly for months but I can’t get it working anymore after updating to a recent domoticz beta. Have to admit my raspberry’s certificate is not valid anymore, but I read that shouldn’t be a problem. I can’t seem to get a successful connection from the controlicz webconfig to my domoticz server anymore.

- ports are open. I’m able to access domoticz from outside my network
- https is enabled
- the domoticz user I use in Controlicz has sufficient rights to login
- the user has room plans setup with devices
- the user has access to those devices

Is controlicz broken?

Try to change settings, get a login prompt. My creds not working :/

[Madgeni]

seems ok?

[pipari]

I wounder what im doing wrong then.

After i created an account I cannot change my profile or pair it with alexa. Just got the login prompt but the creds not working. Im using a password manager and copy-paste the password. I can login "first time" to see the profile. But when i press the Test button or trying to link the account to alexa the creds not working...

I tried both the creds to Controlicz and my domoticz. Because i guess in the linking-process i shall use the Controlicz credentials ?

Any ideas?

best regards

edit:

Never mind. I reseted my password and used a less hard one and then it worked. I hope this problem will be addressed soon. Because i really like having a hard generated password for my logins.

Hi - there are clearly some character issues with the hashing process - will take a look at it when I get a chance. I understand the importance

Hey gang, I've read up on redraven's issues with using his Controlicz behind NAT from his ISP. I have the same problem, except I'm buried behind 3 layers of NAT! Has there been a resolve or workaround for this? I would REALLY like to be able to query the temperature of my egg incubators through Alexa - like that will save the world! LOL Thanks in advance for any help in getting this off the ground at my remote home on a Colorado mountain.

Hello,

is there a way to add some other devices to Alexa? Currently only my thermostats are being discovered. I would like to have my Denon amplituner also accessible through voice.

[nabberuk]

I'm a bit confused by this, you mention all data is encrypted and hashed but it displays the password in plain text on the site? if only the encrypted hash is being stored how is plain text version being displayed?

[Madgeni]

I decrypt it for you, as it's your password, so you can read it?

let decHost = crypto.decrypt(req.user.local.host)
let pwd = crypto.decrypt(req.user.local.pwd)

[Madgeni]

so at rest all data is encrypted, intra Controlicz transit it's also encrypted. I decrypt when it leaves my boundary (in order to interact with your Domoticz), and Google doesn't know it, i pass them an oauth2 token, assuring on your behalf that you are allowed to interact.

[TheCondor]

I've some troubles interacting with my blinds. I have to say SWITCH OFF for open the blind and ON for close it... the opposite as it appear in the dashboard (or the app).
The dashboard is correct because it report STATE = OPEN when the blind is full up and vice-versa, so probably is controlicz that works in the opposite way. I'm the only one with this problem?

[hrshukla]

Have just recently started using Controlicz, and it works great. Excellent effort.

I have one problem though, and I am not sure if its a Domoticz issue or a Controlicz one - My door lock (which is a Yale Touchscreen) works perfectly with Domoticz. However, to control it using Alexa, I have to say, "Alexa, turn on/ off main door" locks and unlocks the door perfectly. In short, it thinks "main door" is a light.

In Domoticz devices list, it does show type as 'Light/Switch', but there is no way to change this to a 'lock' or something.

Any ideas?

[Madgeni]

Hi -
it's not discovering correctly as a lock (my error) - will take a look. Can you PM your email address? thx

[Madgeni]

Hi - yet another gentle reminder, if you're using Controlicz for business purposes, please drop a few pounds in the tip jar. More than happy for you to use it, but help a poor dev out
