Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration Topic is solved

[Madgeni]

Am investigating an issue with Controlicz that is affecting service. Will update you asap

[hayman]

Hier olso Not working

[Madgeni]

Ok - service is back, but will be watching it for any other issues. Will update if anything else occurs.
For those using firewall rules, please note the IP change (you'll see it in your logs). I've switched to an elastic IP, which whilst short term pain, is long term gain.

[hayman]

Yes working again

[freijn]

"Alexa switch on Xmastree" "Xmastree is not responding" heemmmmm suddenly getting conscious of our usage of Alexa and Controlicz

Still not working Netherlands...

[Madgeni]

Let me take a look - can you mail me from your Controlicz profile?

[freijn]

ok, got it working indeed by opening the firewall for 35.178.116.149.

Madgeni, what is an elastic ip ? How long will you keep this ip address ?
I refuse opening my Domoticz to the whole world. ( definitely will be troubles )

[Madgeni]

This is the last time it will change. this allows me to perform any infrastructure changes i need without changing the IP address. Should have done it at the start, but just didn't :/

[freijn]

THanks for the explain, and thanks for the always perfect service !
Wish you happy new year with much health and much time to Control

Madgeni,

since you're now "in business" and running a paid service, this is a change that should have been communicated to your customers prior to being implemented.

So would you please inform us next time you plan to change something with major impact.

Thanks in advance.

[Madgeni]

Hi, apologies, will make sure any change like that is communicated in future - it was done as a side change to the wider issues caused by google's auth issue.

Controlicz can access my domoticz with the test. Alexa can search for devices, however all devices are unresponsive, and can't figure out why as this was working fine. Nothing has changed. I have reset everything and still get the same issue. Any ideas?

Hi - just contact me from your Controlicz profile and i'll take a look

Hi, same here. Was working fine until this morning. All my devices are now "not responding" in alexa. I tried to delete one to add again but alexa discover nothing

[l0gic]

+1 with the non responsive issue since this morning.

All working around 10:30 last night, nothing working 7:00 this morning.
The test from the web site indicates connection is ok.
Checking my firewall I can see the call coming in ok.
Domoticz fails to switch anything, there are no errors in the domoticz log.

Happy to help diagnosis if required.

+1 mines also unresponsive since this morning.

Test connection says working ok but nothing working.

Has been fine for months since today.

Quick response from the creator : disactivate & reactivate the skill did the job for me, thanks !

[jaschu]

Same problem here but here is the solution:
Disable and re-enable the Controlicz skill. After that every switch, scene, thermostat etc. worked again.

This worked for me too.

Hi -
just came in to apologise - i have some background security checks which remove expired OAUTH tokens, however it inadvertently removed active ones. This shouldn't happen again, but apologies for any issues caused.
A simple disable/enable will resolve it
