Hi - can you restart Domoticz and check again?

Done, but no avail! Still old devices present in the table in Controlicz Web UI and no new devices show up...
Something else I can try?

Hi all - doorbells with push notifications are now available

See the product release notes, and the FAQs for detailed instructions.
This is a big leap forward for Google, hopefully further push notification controls will be made available soon

Also - Blinds are now touch controllable from a Google Nest Home display

Enjoy!

After updating dzga I get ERROR - Unable to execute action.devices.commands.StartStop for Light110, but I can turn the light with google home.
Everything was working before the update.

Any ideas why?

Update: Smoke Sensors are now available for notifications - just add TypeControl: SmokeSensor - enable notifications (see Controlicz FAQs) - and sleep easier

I am trying to setup my doorbell so I get a notification in my voice assistant(s). And I think I am so close..

First of all, my doorbell is defined as On/Off switch in Domoticz. (It is physically a simple push button connected to Sonoff that runs Tasmota). When I activate it in Domoticz my doorbell starts to ring and when I push the button I have the same effect, while it is properly seen as switched on in Domoticz.

Now I added as comment "TypeControl: Doorbell" and through Controlicz Google Home actually recognizes it as a doorbell. Looking at the properties I activated speech notifications (I see in Dutch the term is Spraakmeldingen). But when I ring the bell, I do not hear any notification from my Google Nest Mini. Does anyone know if it perhaps expects another signal than a simple "On"?

This week I looked again and realized that I totally missed a point in the FAQ. So the steps I did were right, I only did not realize that I had to put in a trigger through a notification, as described in FAQ question 6. https://www.controlicz.com/#faq6

Now there is another point that try to achieve. I have IKEA blinds, which I connected to Domoticz through the Tradfri plugin. I can control them well and Domoticz reports the right battery percentage. But for some reason, using "TypeControl: Battery", Controlicz (and therefore Google) report a battery level of 255 instead of the percentage.

I'm having trouble with a second user. On my phone, I can voice control the devices in Controlicz. It also works when talking to a Google Nest device. For my girlfriend this was also the case, but it suddenly stopped working, as well as on her phone as on the same Nest device (with her voice recognized by Google).

I tried reconnecting Controlicz in the Google Home app on her phone, didn't work. Then I tried unlinking Controlicz, but when relinking I get a message that there don't seem to be any devices in my account ('try again later, might be a temporary error'). I'm stuck, what else can I try?

Hi, I am trying to set up Controlicz with a CO2 sensor.

after some other juggling I have an Air Quality sensor in Domoticz with values like 409 PPM. The sensor is added to a plan and visible in controlicz. First without a type but after adding TypeControl: Sensor it showns sensor in controlicz.
--> is there anything I can do with that sensor now in Google home? (like query it?)

I also setup a notification as explained in FAQ 6. However nothing seems to happen. In the Domoticz log I see a line like this
2021-10-30 16:42:36.355 Status: Notification: CO2 Usage is 415 [> 400.0 ]
also pressing the test button in Domoticz HTTP settings doesn't seem to do anything.
How is the notification intended behavior? Are all google home devices supposed to say something?

[Madgeni]

Hi maxtrash -
sorry for the late response, if you ping me from your Controlicz profile with the details, i should be able to add the co2 monitor for both query and push notification

Hi,
Can you look into the logs for me whats going wrong in the connection.
I have domoticz with a apache2 webserver with php for dashticz.
I have a domainname by duckdns
Ports 443 and 80 are open.
My email begins with: [email protected]

[Madgeni]

Hi there Bospieper -
if you're using a webserver, it's likely you won't need the port number in your URL, so please put 10001 in your port entry and retest.

i'll update the FAQs to include this (it's in there, but only specifies ngrok/nginx)

[Bospieper]

Hi,
I assume that the port number 10001 has to be filled in my Controlicz profile? If that is correct then it gives me also a connection error.

I have an other question


A friend has an nest Thermostat, on de home app he can see the thermostat and if he klick on it he can se the temp that is set and on the bottom he can see the actual temp / humiduty reading from that thermostat.


Now via domoticz (toon) i have thermostat set temp and the readings from it as an second sensor.


Is it possible to merge the termostat and its reading in controlicz so that it wil be shown as one device like it is on the nest thermostat in google home?

[Madgeni]

It's been on my list for a long time - but i'll look at combining them. The issue is if Domoticz discovers sensor + setpoint as different devices. So i've got zwave TRVs which have two devices, which makes this combination difficult

[Micha123]

Yes same here got 2 devices in domoticz.


Maybe aomething like am description in the thermostat device in domoticz.


TempSensor: IDX of temp/ temphum sensor in domoticz.


Then controlicz need to merge that devices




Edit: is it maybe possible then controlicz first check if an lamp / switch is on or off before send command.

The problem is. I have 20 lamps connected via z-wave(the hole home) and if i go away i say "ok google turn all lights off" now google sends to 20 lights the off commands doesn't matter if the light is on or off. The z-wave network is in the moment realy busy to send all the commands even if much lights are off.

I have a little queation, why all Lights are seen as dimmable RGB lights?

I dont have any RGB lights but some sinple ON/OFF lights and some are dimmable, but home app recognize all Lights as dimmable RGB lights.... Is it possible to configure simply ON OFF lights as ON / OFF and dimmable lamps as dimmable?
