I had some difficulties finding the best Alexa friendly names but now everything works great! Thanks!

I have just made my first donation to you and I hope you will be updating the skill in the near future. Can't wait to activate the blinds or sun screen with my voice

I am able to activate my sunscreens by voice command, fully open and fully close. "Alexa, Turn on the suncreens". This should also work in your case. Or do you mean dimmers commands, 20% open, 45% open?

Thanks so much for the donation Stevo, it really does help keep the lights on.
Re: blinds - on/off works, and i definitely discover them, so when the language catches up, you'll get open/close or up/down

WHHOOUUAAAOUU !! just test it on my GGMM E5 speakers, needed to press a buton to speak to Alexa, need to speak english (not easy for a french guy), but that Rocks !! really impressive ! fast and precise ! great works ! Google Home Speaker arrive this weeks in France with French language, Hopping Amazon will answer fast to this !!

Do you know if this posible to use alexa for a TTS, and a Vocal notification system ?

hi deennoo - glad you like it. If French gets added, i'll make sure I do it quickly for you
not easily - some people have created some. Apparently push notifications are coming (they're in some specific company skills already). As soon as they are, i'll look at how we can use them

All, if you like it, can you please leave a review on Amazon?
Thanks!

Yesss, blinds and sunscreen work with Alexa

Of course

Hi there -

@madgeni

Just got a Google Home (arrive in french language 3 august 2017), i manage to turn on/off using ifttt.

Did you plan to works on Google Home ?

I do yes
I'm already working on it - naturally google's interactions are different, so i'm having to restructure things a little, and their documentation is essentially "Now make your smart home action", so is taking some work!

at first - thanks for this alexa skill! Its great!

But somtimes i have some trouble with some devices.
For Example: If i tell Alexa to dim the light to 20%, alexa gives me a timeout (Milight). Turning Light on/off is no problem. Even some other switches.

What could i do to fix this?

Hi, was this consistently being slow?
Was it within the last hour? If so, can you try now? I've been testing some stuff. If not, I'll take a look

It affects just some Switches and some functions of MiLight-Lamps. It was reproducible for this Switches / Functions --> For Example , Turn Light On/Off-> Works perfect, Change Color of Light --> works Perfect --> Dim Light to 20% --> TIMEOUT . Every time the same.

I will test it when i come back from work. Mabey its a Domoticz Problem, but if i triggered the affected Switches/functions via domoticz Webinterface, every thing works fine...

Ok - will take a look now, see if I can find anything in the logs

Is the website controlicz.com currently down. ?

I cant seem to access the website or discover any devices. It was working great but gone to discover some new devices just now and nothing is found and the website isnt accessible.

Hi scoobydoo - sorry, my mistake - was testing something, it's back now.
I usually test offline, there's one thing I can't however!

Thanks for the update.
All working again now I've got control over my devices again.

Hi - setting shades of white should now be available for tuneable lights:

Shades of White:
warm, warm white
incandescent, soft white
white
daylight, daylight white
cool, cool white

examples:
“Alexa, change the device name to shade of white”
“Alexa, make the living room warm white”
“Alexa, set the kitchen to daylight”
“Alexa, schalte Schlafzimmerlicht auf warmes Weiß”
