Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration Topic is solved

[jerrybboy]

I have a question about blinds, mine have a open/stop/close option. does controlicz support this?

Is your stop option also a favorite position , if so I would say yes. if I say close pleated blinds they close. If I say open pleated blinds they open. And when I say put pleated blinds at 1-99% it sets the blind at the favorite position. In my case its a pleated blind. Don't know what you have. I use Google home.

Hi - Selector switches are still not available in Alexa - they should be available in Google Home soon

Created a workaround for the selector switch. and as you can see in the video and the tutorial:

It works!!
vacuum + alexa + controlicz + python plugin + a workaround for the selector switch

[Madgeni]

yay! Nice one remb0

Good job! Next step: ask Alexa to let the robot vacuum get you a beer

[Madgeni]

Wish I had one of these to test on!

Just a quick question, could you add support for curtains/blinds? Having my curtains open when I tell Google to turn off all of the lights is a tad annoying

[Madgeni]

if you treat them as a switch in Domoticz (change the image to 'generic') - then you can use them

[wolph]

I can't because they're blinds, not on/off switches.

Also, they work but they work incorrectly because they also respond to light on/off commands which is a bit of a problem. When I turn on the lights it shouldn't open/close the blinds/curtains

Hi - can you resync your devices? They should now be switches. I am limited to the device types that Google support (you're in the wrong topic btw).

[Madgeni]

on an Alexa related topic however, French is now available

[HarryHase]

is controlicz down?

[stefanwo]

seem to me like this

[Madgeni]

Controlicz as a service is up (now) - but the site is down for browsing (I'm doing maintenance)

[stefanwo]

thanks for the info!

Awesome! Appears to work

And yes, I know about the wrong topic. I noticed after first posting but it seemed more confusing to switch topics during the conversation

Thanks for all the help!

Hai Madgeni,
has something changed? My nest thermostat is now a light (description : thermostat, type : light) in Alexa, and doesnt support setting the temperature anymore. (removing and redetecting didn't help).

I can say the same happens to me my plugs are lights with dimming capability in alexa, why?

Hi Madgeni,

I tried to sign-up / register for Controlicz yesterday (March 28th) and today a couple of times. However, after filling in my details and clicking 'signup' nothing happens. I just get a new empty sign-up page. Is that due to your webpage maintenance?

P.S. My https access via internet to Domoticz is running. So this shouln't be the problem.

Thanks
O.
