hi - launch Google Assistant/Home - Explore - search for Controlicz

https://assistant.google.com/services/a ... 7068b18ba2

No results found for Controlicz

Good, someone knows why I do not appear?

[Madgeni]

It looks like there is a problem with the Italian google directory -

https://assistant.google.com/explore/c/19/?hl=it

This only shows 2 apps

[clubeddie]

Is there an issue with the site? When I login to the website and goes to devices, first a get a page fould that the page could not be loaded and that the connection is refused.

When I tried it later the page redirect immediately to the home page. So I cannot see anything inside controlicz.

[Madgeni]

Hi - the site is ok. Can you mail me from your Controlicz profile?

Site is indeed okay, find the issue. I had to change my username of my domoticz because of a character which ifttt would not accept. After I changed this in my profile I can login correctly. Maybe you could make a specific fault page when something in the profile is not correct.

Next issue I am facing is to get controlicz inside my Google home mini. When I push this from
https://assistant.google.com/services/a ... 2?hl=en-US
The Google home response with,
"sorry, I couldn't find that"

Inside the home app I could not find where to install/activate this?

Could it be something to do with country settings?

[Madgeni]

What country are you in? I raised an issue with Google, as they seem to have removed most/all Smart Home apps from the Italian directory.

are you enabling it from within the Home app? Are you able to add it from the Assistant

I am living in the netherlands, google home is not yet officially supported there. Maybe that is the problem?
Right now i am trying it from the URL above, i cannot find the steps inside the home app to add an app or controlicz.

[Madgeni]

ah ok, can you try running your Google Home as English?

[clubeddie]

I already done this, I also changed my phone language to English. So I have more settings available. But this doesn't change anything. Other things I can install trough the site.

BTW, great and fast support so far! Thanks dude!!!

[Madgeni]

No worries
Can another Dutch user help out here and share how they use Controlicz?

[Venzent]

Set the phone to US English
Open the Google Home app
Via the menu go to "Home Control"
Click the "+" sign, under "Add new" you should see "Controlicz"

Great, nice I could do something back after receiving so much support

[clubeddie]

I got it working. I was wondering, in controlicz I see al my devices from my floorplan. This contains switches and other devices. The switches are read in within Google home. Devices of other types not. Is this correct and is there no support for (yet) inside Google home.

It would be awesome to connect to other devices as well. For example, I have solar panels and it would be great if I as Google "how are my solar panels doing" that's see tells me what the production is. The numbers are inside domoticz.

But this is not yet possible or have I configure something wrong? Or is there another way of doing this?

[Madgeni]

Hi -
currently Controlicz can handle Switches/lights/Thermostats - vacuums to come shortly.
If Google add solar panels/electricity producing devices, i'll make sure it's in Controlicz

You can also query temperature sensors. Although it will be seen as a thermostat in the off state, it will tell you the temperature.

Won't think it will be implemented at Google very soon ... It is only a value that the device must read and speech. Maybe a third party tool or something within ifttt? If I find something I will let you know.
