I'll look at the temperature now

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

Historically, when this all first went live on Alexa, on = close, off = open - then with feedback, it was inverted. Then after other people complained, it was put back the way it was.
If there is a general consensus driving change (We love a referendum in this country), i'll change it.


You're right, both Alexa and Google are missing open/close.

• Blinds
  Blinds Inverted
  Blinds percentage
  Blinds percentage inverted

and the behavior depends on those types, so no "universal" behaviour despite a referendum.....

If only the Domoticz API had blinds as a device type. (it doesn't).

I stand corrected!
Let me see what I can do. The issue is mainly around storing that your blinds are inverted, for controls. I don't query that every time you issue a command, only for discoveries, so i have to store and replay that data, then invert the command.
