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

[Madgeni]

Hi,
I think theres a delay between Home being available, and then Home Controls being available I'm afraid. Until then, you'll have to use one of the languages which is working

[cyberclwn]

Ok, i'll have to try that, if all things could be this easy ... hehe

Yes, it really is that simple

Great, thanks

Hi,
any news about the inverted blinds implementation?
I still need to use the inverted switch on/off commands in Italian to control my blinds.

Thanks,

OK, thanks for your quick reply. I'll just have to wait a little bit longer then

A poor one. Will look into it - can you mail me from your Controlicz profile please?

I have problem with domoticz and alexa. After sucessfull connection betwen domoticz-controlicz and alexa i was able to find temp sensor. But when i click to sensor in alexa app its jump directly to settings of sensor. So my alexa doesnt see value of sensor. (Type: temperature sensor) . On controlicz page i see currently value without problem.

[Madgeni]

Ok, will fix - thanks for letting me know

[olleman]

I tried to change system language to English (US) from Swedish to get the home controls function but it still doesn't work. There are no settings related to home control and "Explore" button gives me nothing - that is, I press it, and nothing happens.

saying "sync my devices" gives me errors that tell me that this function isn't availible.

I have tried clearing my cache for google now and that doesn't help either. It would be cool to test the function of controllicz but I'm at a dead end here, any suggestions?

If You ever get an error like this when trying to link Google Home with Controlicz You probably got an cache issue.
It happens at the end of the process of linking your Google Account to Controlicz.
Then try clearing your cache on the current browser on your mobile phone or tablet that you are using for implement the link.

Thanks to Nick Madge for pointing me in the right direction to find the problem.
Controlicz is a great thing for Google Home to get seamless integration with all Domoticz devices.

Looks like you've got google assistant in Swedish!? Have you gotten the home controls to work?

[urbaxe]

Yes and no, Google Assistant on the phone is in Swedish, Google Home is in english.
So it's a bit of "Swenglish".

This is a bit confusing, are we talking about google home the application or google home the smart speaker? To get voice control over domoticz I need to have home controls enabled in google assistant, correct?

When I talk about Google Home, I mean this product.
Google Home the smart speaker.

Google Assistant on my mobile phone, and other Android devices, is in Swedish while GH only understands and speaks English.

You can either via GH or Google Assistant on your mobile phone use ifttt.com to send English voice commands to Domoticz, to turn on and off lights. You can also do this with Controlicz.com, though in a more integrated way, when you can group on rooms e.t.c in a much nicer way. This provided that you linked https://ifttt.com to your Goggole account and similar to https://controlicz.com/.

I do not remember that I have specially activated home controls, with Controlicz they just pop up and then You group them by room.

[olleman]

hm...so, you have Google assistant in Swedish, an account with controllicz and you can control lights etc? Or do I need ifttt as well? I'm starting to wonder if perhaps my problem is that I currently only have a "free subscription" with controllicz....

Let me get this straight for how to get controllicz to work with Android: Register for an account, port forward the port (443) and test the connection from controllicz webpage. If it works, goto google assistant and click on "Explore" or "Utforska" in Swedish and add controllicz from there and then it should work?

Is there a step that I'm missing since I can't even press the function "explore" - I see the button but nothing happens when pressed.

Edit: Uninstalled updates for the google app and now "Explore" button works and I can find Controllicz but I doesn't seem that I can add it's functionallity. I'm moving forward anyway

[Madgeni]

Hi,
To add Controlicz to your Google Home/Assistant, you'll need to subscribe

[evildonkey]

Sins yesterday, im getting i could not reach controlicz, our controlicz is unavailable at this time.
When i test my connection its fine, and i see all the lights, linking and unlinking didn't work.

[snellejellep]

hi, i connected controlicz to my domoticz server but how do i connect my google assistent to controlicz?
i am using the dutch assistant and when i search in the assistant store for controlicz i find it on my pc, then i send it to my phone, get the notification but when i tap it it does not work.
can anyone explain to me what i am doing wrong?

[olleman]

Finally got my setup working with a subscription and google assistant in english. I have all my switches in room plans since beofre and they show up in controlicz but they don't actually belong to a room in the settings of controlicz of my phone. Am I correct that I need to assign rooms manually on the phone the first time to be able to say stuff like "turn on the lights in the office"?
