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

[Varazir]

Hmm, I'm sure I saw the scens/groups as objects yesterday in the Google Home app.

i'm on v 2.12.1.7 of the Home app, and still no scenes/groups are viewable (without going into Explore>Settings>Assistant>Home Control. annoying!

When I looked today I couldn't see them but I'm user I did yesterday.
I received a question to add the scenes to my Google Home.

hi to all, I have a problem in practice I have 6 roller shutter fibaro that control the shutters and I have created a group where I control through controlicz the opening and the closing. Now I would like to understand how to disable the voice command or the use of this group when I activate the alarm mode or when I am away from home. my concern is that if any neighbor even from outside the entrance door pronounces alex open house the command starts.

if you could kindly tell me some solution like some command to disable the use of the switch based on my presence or when I arm the domoticz panel. but I didn't understand how to proceed thanks

Hi there -

Do you have a dummy switch for the alarm mode? If so, in the http actions for on you could put:
On:
http://localIP:port/json.htm?type=setused&idx=123&protected=true&used=true
Off:
http://localIP:port/json.htm?type=setused&idx=123&protected=false&used=true

where the IDX of your group is.
Alternatively, create a script with all the devices in doing the same thing:
http://localIP:port/json.htm?type=setused&idx=123&protected=true&used=true
http://localIP:port/json.htm?type=setused&idx=456&protected=true&used=true
http://localIP:port/json.htm?type=setused&idx=789&protected=true&used=true

and invoke the script instead?

Arming, disarming and querying a Domoticz security panel is now available

For security purposes, it requires you to enter your security panel password - which I don't store, for extra security. Your password remains encrypted at all times.

“Set the <securitypanel> to arm home”
“Set the <SecurityPanel> to arm away”
“Disarm the <SecurityPanel>”

Hello

Since yesterday my google home replies "the temperature is in heat mode", it worked flowless before.

Thx

[Madgeni]

Hi -
this is fixed - I fixed an issue with the homegraph update at the same time

Apologies

[phtinix]

Thank you, it works ; good support

[djdevil]

except for a couple of days the temperature sensors on alexa no longer show the temperature but are detected as a thermostat? Why before on the alexa app show the temperature ?

[Madgeni]

Hi - can you forget the device in Alexa (in the website), and discover again?
If it's still an issue, drop me a support note from the Controlicz site

All ok now work thx for support!

Locks are now supported in Google Home. You need to have configured the Domoticz Security panel, the pin is used to provide 2 factor authentication - Enjoy!

Motion and contact sensors are now queryable via Google Home

temperature sensors are now queryable

Hi Madgeni,
some more info about your 3 latest posts?
Something like a sort of guide or cumulative changelog for the latest improvements and how to use them...

Thanks,
mantoz

[Madgeni]

Hi, you're completely right, and am working on a cleaner FAQ and changelog on the site. I fully recognise this is missing and needs improvement.

In the short term, for locks and alarms, they should be discovered by GH now, without any changes on your side.
The alarm is specifically the Domoticz Security Panel (i'm happy to look at additional integrations if people need them).
Both use the Domoticz Security Panel pin for two factor authentication, so someone can't just shout through your letter box to open the door For extra security I don't store the pin, it's simply queried and then compared in the call.

Re: temp sensors - they should also now just work - currently there's no icon for a temp sensor, but they should now respond to queries.
This, along with the ability to query motion/contact sensors is the first step to notifications. These are in Google beta, and i'm pushing for Controlicz to be added, i had conversations during the alpha in Feb, so hopefully this will happen soon.
This will then provide parity with Alexa, where Controlicz can provide real-time notifications of sensor state change, to drive either notifications, or additional actions via Alexa. These require a level of trust from Alexa, and will therefore not be available via other options.

Hallo, Madgeni.

since a few weeks I see I can't tell Alexa to open or close blinds (I use blind device types to control gate and garage door. I tell it in italian so "apri" or "chiudi"). It always worked fine but now Alexa says the command is not available on the device. Nothing has changed on my side and I noticed that if I ask to "turn on" or "turn off" the gate it works perfectly so it's like the open/close commands have disappeared at a certain time. Please could you check what has happened?

Thank you in advance

[Madgeni]

Hi - i raised this a little while ago with Alexa, i will chase.

[gomario]

Hi and many thanks for your awesome work!

Yesterday any queries to my Alexa devices regarding temperature just returns: "WhateverDeviceTempIcalled" does not respond..

I tried to disable and re-enable the skill, discovery finds all devices. Controlicz web ui shows all devices and displays correct temp. Connection to my Domoticz tested as working... All other switches work just fine.

Any ideas? Thank you!

Hello,
My temperature sensors are not working since some days, they are set as water heater in the google home app.

[gorstj]

Just started using Controlicz as HA-Bridge was too unreliable.

All seems to be working well except Logitech Harmony hub activities (which I can access through Domoticz web interface) aren't appearing in my Controlicz account (or alexa app). I do have the ones I want to use in a room plan.

Here is a screenshot


Am I doing anything wrong?

(I changed speakers to a different icon to see if that would work to no avail)
