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

[landmer]

Google assistant supports Dutch language these days so I can just select Dutch language. Is Swedish supported?

Thanks for the answer! Yes swedish got supported about the same time as Dutch. I managed to get it working with controlicz after a while.
First I tried to add controlicz link in the google assistant settings as I did with english language. But now I had to add the link/account in the Google Home app instead.

Hi , how can I refresh controlicz when i add new device to domoticz ?

Did you put the new device in your room plan? Then:

In english in GH: sync my devices
In Dutch: Synchroniseer mijn apparaten

I also got a question:

Today i unlinked Controlicz and relinked it to GH. Now i can almost control every device wich i added to Controlicz in Dutch . Only 2 devices are giving some problems. GH doesn`t now how to "control" my (Xiaomi) door/window sensors, still geting the same answer; "ik begrijp je niet of ik weet niet hoe ik je hier bij kan helpen" (i cant help you with that or i dont now how to help you).

The second device are my Xiaomi temperature sensors. When i ask (in Dutch) what the temperature is in the Garage, the GH answer is; "Het is nu 15,5 graden en temperatuur in de garage staat uit" (It`s 15,5 degrees and the temperature in the garage is off). For these sensors there is no on or off status...they just give temp & humidity.

Also got a feature request:
I would love to see my smart energy meter (P1) in Controlicz/GH so i can ask GH how much gas or energy i used today. (or how much energy generated by the solar panels)

Thanks

Hi Furiousz23 - the 'is off' issue is a known bug with the Google temp reading - native sensors will be available soon (you will be able to use them for your energy meter also)

Is it possible to have this:

my alexa is English, my google is Dutch.
my switches are dutch. so I added in the description: alexa:<english name>

is is possible to enter an English name for alexa and a dutch for google h

[Madgeni]

Given both Alexa and Google discover both device name and friendlyname (Controlicz: xxxx) - and can interact with both, does it not just work? I've never tried it, but should be ok?

I've succeeded in removing Controlicz from my google home completely, including before mentioned "orphan device".
However, I'm now no longer able to reconnect Controlicz to my google home. The home app keeps saying "Cannot update the configuration, check your connection.".

I assure you however, the connection is fine

[Madgeni]

Just mailed you

@madgeni, i`m still trying to discover all the possibilities of Controlicz and the integration in my GH. Of course i did read this whole topic and the FAQ on your website, but it`s quite briefly about all the functions and commands wich are possible (also no complete list of supported devices). A lot of users are asking the same questions in this topic. It would be awesome to have all the gathered information in one page or post (like a full Wiki/How to). Your support in this thread (or email) is really excellent but i guess it will save you a lot of time in the end . Helping you with translations is no problem

[Madgeni]

Thanks Furiousz23 - will add in a known list of working commands

[remb0]

It works. But Alexa must choose the English name from description. While Google home must take my Dutch device name. The same time. Is that possible?

Given both Alexa and Google discover both device name and friendlyname (Controlicz: xxxx) - and can interact with both, does it not just work? I've never tried it, but should be ok?

In the Google home app you can give each device an alias no matter what it is called in Domoticz.

I see some Swedish users, I am struggling to get "her" to understand anything relating to Controlicz, basically I am most interested in the Scenes, have anyone had that to work and what's the trick in that case, what do you say?

[djac]

Several people seem to have issues so far with Dutch - scenes not being discovered is another. I'm hoping it's teething troubles, but have raised with Google Product owner

As you know Swedish was just released, do you know status of what's supported and not, in Swedish, any tricks we can re-use from the Dutch experience?

Patience?

Controlling lights in dutch seems to be working now for the most part. According to Google it was/is a problem related with Home. Not the dutch language. https://www.androidplanet.nl/nieuws/goo ... lemen/amp/

Google Assistant is far from working/stable for Dutch language at this moment. I'm trying for 1,5 week to link and setup Controlicz.. it's impossible. I've given up an cancelled my subscription. Maybe I'll try again next year when Google has sorted out their stuff.

Did you have trouble syncing/connecting to devices? I had that problem.
Madgeni told me that Google has issues with special characters in devicenames. I had a lot of braces () in my devicenames. After removing them, no more troubles with syncing. Sometimes a latency issue when controlicz or my domoticz is to slow in returning the status to Google. The assistant says she was unable to contact controlicz but the devices are turned on/off as requested.
