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

[Madgeni]

he, it was not mend as an insult. I was just asking what i could try so that you don't have to spend time on my problem as i actually really appreciate all the time that is spend on these opensource environments.

But forget I asked It seems I am getting mixed result when accessing from the internet so the problem is elsewhere. Thanks for the help

It's ok - no insult taken It was more that I did respond to your mail in less than an hour!

Hi,
I did some more tests with Controlicz and I'm very happy with it. Using Italian.

Only strange things I noticed:
1. blinds appear to be inverted. In domoticz they're set as "Blinds percentage" and icons (open/closed) are correct. In Controlicz/Google home they appear to be inverted, as I have to say "switch off the blinds" to open them and vice versa. I could invert them in Domoticz, but then I'd have the wrong icons in domoticz (open when they're really closed and so on). Any workaround available?

2. related to 1. --> In Italian we usually say "Open blinds" and "Close blinds" instead of "Switch on/off the blinds" (translated, of course). This does not work. I assume that this is a Google Home bug, and/or is due to Google Home thinking that my blinds are really switches.
Can you confirm this please?

Thanks,
mantoz

Hi all - the new Controlicz site is now live. The main addition is that it will now show your devices on your profile, importantly, it will tell you how Google/Alexa will see them.
More features to come - feedback welcome (and yes I know the Test is still not giving feedback!)

Very nice and good looking

[mantoz]

Wow, what an improvement!!! Really nice site, congratulations!
The table is very useful!

Thanks!

unfortunately unable to reset my password.
After pressing the reset link... I receive the nice error mentioned above,

Awesome work on the new site!

Had to hack my own login by enterin in the browser console:

Code: Select all

document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit();

because my username doesn't include a @ warming I got.
New users all have a email address as login I suppose...

Now I see two of my devices as: 'Color Switch' where the 'Google/Alexa' column is empty. The devices where I mentioned earlier:

@Madgeni: I added my MiLights as On/Off devices instead of Dimmers (because I don't use the dimmer functions). But if I do that, they are not synced. Is this a feature?

Is this as expected?

b.t.w. test connection doesn't give any result a.t.m. (although my connection is setup and working fine)
[edit] connection test is visible in my domoticz-log though[/edit]

Haha mine also seems NOT to have the @ .... however your trick did not work for me unforunately.

Some pointers in the right directions from the forum experts please to get it up and running.

Hello everyone, i'm trying to set it up.
Https from internet is ok. My account is registred on the portal, please could the admin confirm this? (search: **falsini@me***), i've added a "controlicz" user in my domo system and everything seams ok.

In my google home i add the Controlicz, ask for user/password and permission, i allow everything but after some seconds google assistant doesn't show any Controlicz device and neither in the portal i can see my devices.

Could someone help? Thank you very much, i love this project!

Question:
Did you add devices to a roomplan so controlicz can find the devices??
Did you add the devices to the controlics user (Set Devices).

Is your Google Home app running as UK English? Can you do this via Google Assistant on your phone - i.e can you type it, as it's clearly not understanding what you've asked for.
if the devices are showing in GH, then Controlicz itself is working and ready

You had two accounts in Controlicz - please use the one starting with lowercase 'o' - It seems to be working ok.

It shows English but as you can see some part is in Dutch so that could be something.

The answer of google: "Sorry I don't understand'.

And it shows exactly the thing I asked. Totally clueless here.

[sincze]

I will answer my own post .

What I did with the google home was.
- Press the mute/mic button until I had a full reset.
- After that I just reconfigured the google home with the google home app.
- Controlicz started to work instantly.

Seems the problem is solved. Just a little hint for future reference.
