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

[miremi]

Hi -
if you open Home app (or Assistant) - then under the menu - Explore. Then search for Controlicz - on the page you should see the Star Rating system

Maybe I'm stupid but i really can't find it.
15 minutes searching but didn't find it in home app.

[Madgeni]

You should have a menu option (it's 3 lines, top left - then an option for Explore)

[miremi]

Yes i see option explore but nothing about Controlicz. Maybe because i use Dutch language on my phone?

[Madgeni]

But you use controlicz? Then you should be able to search for it

[miremi]

Yes i use Controlicz with almost 50 devices with pleasure.
I just have switched language to English but still don't see option for review. I see Controlicz between al other apps but no option te leave a review. Also in explore menu no Controlicz.

Firstly, I just want to say how thankful I am for your work on the integration of Google Home with Domoticz, I've been away from the forums for a while so it was a welcome surprise and is working fine!

I do however have a number of users each with their own Google account, do I need to link their Google accounts with the Controlicz account I have made or should each of the users create their own Controlicz account and link into my Domoticz?

[Madgeni]

Hi apotropaic -
glad you enjoy it - for now, you'll need to create multiple - I will be addressing multiple accounts/Controlicz user - but it's on the roadmap.

If you're using it for other people, or offering a service - please drop some $ in the tip jar

Hi!
i have made an account on controllicz and linked it to domoticz, so far everything works, but now im a but unsure what to do, i have installed the google home app on my tablet and was thinking of using that to voice control domoticz, but i cant find controlicz in the google app.

any ideas?

[Madgeni]

hmm - should be searchable via 'Explore'

[Madgeni]

Hi Madgeni, I got thesame issue, email is jar****[email protected]

Hi - please remove https:// from your hostname in Controlicz. I was *sure* i'd fixed that..

[jerrybboy]

Since yesterday I've gotten controlicz to work. And the things that i've connected now are working really great. Are you able to update controlicz when you add more devices in controlicz?

[Madgeni]

sure just say "Hey Google, sync my devices"

[jerrybboy]

Ok great. Is there also a way to change the typ of device. Because now my blinds are recognized as lights. So if I say turn on the bedroom lights my blinds open and also my tv turns on.

[Madgeni]

eek. If you change the switch icon to 'Generic' for your blinds, Controlicz will treat them as switches, not lights


In my defence - as i've posted in here before - it's a real pain working out what's what between Google/Alexa and Domoticz as Domoticz designate all sorts of things as Type: Light/Switch subtype: light

@Madgeni:
Nest Hello doorbell supports Google assistant by announcing a visitor: https://nest.com/support/article/Learn- ... o-doorbell

I have my doorbell in Domoticz, can it made possible to also hear an announcement when a visitor rings the doorbell?

[Madgeni]

Hi - not as yet - notifications *are* coming, but not yet. I'm also unsure how we'll control which things send notifications and how often.

Using Domoticz: 'Settings, More Options, Data Push, HTTP' ?
