Hey madgeni

Any chance for an updated list of what's currently supported between domoticz and controlicz? Or is this already somewhere and I'm just blind?

hi, I am having trouble controlling scenes from both, Alexa and Google Assistant. Switches do work though.
IN Domoticz I get this message:
User: Alexa, scene not found (idx=-9596)!
no clue what that idx is, the idx of the scene I tried to activate is 4.

it stopped working a few days ago.
What do I need to do to get this back in line?

[Madgeni]

Hi - apologies, if you delete the scenes from the alexa app and run a discovery again, that should fix it - same applies to google, sync your devices and this should work

Hi Mark - no material changes since March - there is a Product Release Notes link on the site

Hi,
this worked for the google assistant, Alexa is still not working propperly and refuses to activate scenes. There is not even an entry in the domoticz log. Controlling switches works though.

Apologies - ping me from your Controlicz profile and I’ll investigate asap

[thomasbaetge]

sorry, been on vacation a bit. I will send you a message from my Controlicz profile now....

[thomasbaetge]

I really need to say:
Nick just helped me with a nasty connection issue. I really like the way he is running this, his support is swift and really helpful.
there may be other integration options out there, but I for one will clearly stay with this one

Controlicz server is down! Please check it! Thx

[Madgeni]

apologies - is back. Am investigating the issue, it is related to background state updates to Google, which is new!

[Madgeni]

quick update - it looks like someone is making a *significant* number of duplicate calls at 7am CET. These are being handled by Controlicz, but the backend state change calls to Google become too much, and it backs them off. It is likely to happen again tomorrow, as it looks like a routine. I'll watch it, and try and prepare for it, but if anyone reading this, if it sounds familiar, please take a look

Ok thx good work

[Madgeni]

quick update on functionality -
water meters are now queryable in Google Home

Add TypeControl: Dispense to the device description then you can query it in Google Home:
"Hey Google, how much water do i have remaining in <devicename>?"

Enjoy

Hi madgeni, how can I query temperature sensors in Controllicz?

[Madgeni]

Hi - you should just be able to ask what the temperature is in the room you've put the sensor in

[poweredge]

i have a question about that too - i added 1 of the temperatures/eg thermostat in controlicz ... but in alexa/app it shows a negative value - eg -8.5 in stead of 17.5d (celsius).... the webpage of controlicz does display the correct value. any ideas @madgeni?

[havnegata]

I was experiencing this as well, but try running a new discovery of devices. That helped me

[hanryz]

Hello Nick, I tried to drop you a measage via Conteolicz portal, but apparently it did not get forwarded or I missed your reply... Until yesterday I had had quite nice experience with Controlicz. Then I changed aome devices in the room plan of Domoticz (I also set the same devices of the Controlicz user in Domoticz). After the change has been effected, the situation is not adequantly reflected in Contrlocz web UI. The newly introduced devices do not show up and old devices which have been deleted stay （with the message that they wont be visible by Google or Alexa） . Can you advise pleasr how to push the configurarion update？ Thanks.

[Madgeni]

Hi - can you restart Domoticz and check again?
