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

[olleman]

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"?

Yes

Thanks, now it's only a matter of waiting for google to release home controls for the newly added languages then.

German Question!
Some times ago i coud ask for the temperature, but it not working anymore.

"Wie ist die Temperatur Warmwasser" - Answer from google "Das Thermostat Warmwasser steht auf 50 Grad und ist aus"

How ca i get now the temperature from my devices, are there new keywords?

[Madgeni]

There's always been an issue with sensors - Google only have a trait for thermostats, so I can use it, but it will always give the "and is off"/"und ist aus" message, no matter what I do (it's a known bug). Sensors as a device type are coming "soon" - I have the documentation but they're not implemented yet.
I'm assuming it is 50 degrees?

[Madgeni]

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.

Hi - can you mail me from your Controlicz profile?

that' correct; But i don't know what to ask: "okay google Wie ist die Temperatur Warmwasser" is not working

[Madgeni]

Is it not recognising the device name?
It could be getting confused if the word temperature is in the device name? You can change them in Domoticz by using Controlicz:friendlyname in the device description then resyncing

Hi,
sorry to ask always the same question but I had no reply as of today...how long will it take to have the inverted blinds implemented in Controlicz please? Even a generic figure would be good (1 week, 1 month, ... ).
The question is of course directed to @Madgeni

Thanks,
mantoz

Blinds!
Can you sync your devices and try again..?

Sorry for the delay, I'm often out of home.
Just synced and tried again... no change.
"Switch on the blinds" closes them, and "Switch off the blinds" opens the blinds. This is the opposite of the desired behavior of an inverted blind.

Hi Madgeni,

You inverted the blind command again. Third breaking change on the same thing ...

No change in configuration (domoticz, google home) when I the voice command :
"Ok google, Open the blind Cuisine"
Domoticz logs :
"2018-09-26 19:00:16.277 Status: User: Controlicz initiated a switch command (36/Volet Cuisine/Off)"

It's a paid service now ...

Ask for data and feedback from users to get this thing done properly.

[Madgeni]

I understand, and share your frustration. With that, let's fix this once and for all

For an 'Inverted' type blind, with Google Home, you issue an 'Open' and it should issue an On to Domoticz?
For a 'non-inverted' type (one that does not have the word Inverted in it's type), you issue an 'Open', and it should issue an Off to Domoticz?

Is that it?

[Masure]

I repost my private message which should contains all the information needed (domoticz configuration, UI behaviour and voice command though controllicz behaviour)

In domoticz :

Switch type : switch/ blinds inverted
Closed blind button tooltip : "Close the blinds"
When I click on the Closed blind button shows a label : "Switch off" brief message
Domoticz Log :

Status: User: Admin initiated a switch command (36/Volet Cuisine/Off)

Controlicz device :

Code: Select all

IDX	Name		Alias		Type		Current State/Data	Google/Alexa
36	Volet Cuisine	Volet Cuisine	Light/Switch	Closed			Blind

Voice command :

Ok google, close the blind cuisine

Domoticz log :

2018-08-27 19:56:29.173 Status: User: Controlicz initiated a switch command (36/Volet Cuisine/On)

Best regards

[Madgeni]

Ok, so an inverted blind sends an On command for Open, and Domoticz uses an On command for Open. A non-inverted blind uses Off command for Open, and an On for Closed.

Implemented. Please sync your devices and retry.

Thanks @Madgeni!
It works like a charm now!!

Thanks for the great job! Next stop (I hope) setting the % of the blinds and the levels switch (this one for my vacuum cleaner)

Hi - you should be able to set percentages for blinds already?
Levels (Selector switches) are still waiting for Google to sort out Modes. The code is ready for release

I have register myself and contribute 2 dollar but can’t connect with my domoticz the ports are open but he says check username + password
I also can’t open the devices tab that pge is not reachable

[Madgeni]

Hi - can you mail me from your Controlicz profile, and i'll take a look

[mantoz]

Hi - you should be able to set percentages for blinds already?

No, it doesn't work. Or better, when I say "Set blind to 10%" I get:

2018-10-01 00:29:13.909 Status: User: controlicz initiated a switch command (169/Tapparella Sala/Set Level)

but the blinds fully open (if they're closed) or stay open (if they're already open).

Nice!! I hope it will be soon implemented by Google!
