I would like to protect my Domoticz from the outside world and opening the HTTPS port sounds good but not for me.
Can you provide me from where Controlicz is coming eg. IP's?
The load balancer is 35.176.67.167

I can do one better - my laptop is currently 1200 miles from me. I've changed nothing

@Madgeni,
Why is Dutch Controlicz not working? We can't link it in the Google Assistant as mentioned before. I Would like to use it.

After deleting my old account and creating a new one i was able to make the payment. I guess there was something wrong in the old one. Now i`ve added Controlicz to GA and added my devices
.
Now i have to figure out what commands i have to use. When i say: Hey Google, put the lights on, all lights go on but also my doorbell starts ringing
.
Unfortunatly Controlicz is not available in Dutch right now...

I have both an echo dot and an Google home mini setup in my living room. Previously I was using the Alexa with Controllicz but wanted to compare both devices to see which one suits my needs.
Upgraded my free account to a paid subscription and Controllicz was a breeze to set up for both devices.
I did some testing by turning lights on, setting colors, dimming lights etc. With Alexa this works almost instant (within 1 second) and almost 100% of the time, however with the Google mini there is a very noticable delay (5 seconds or more). Also very frequently google tells me the lights have been changes, but nothing happens. Does anyone have similar issues with the Google device or is there something I can check?

I have a couple of Dots and a few Google Homes, all seem to respond in a similar (almost instantaneous) time. The Dots sometimes 'wake up' when they think (incorrectly) that the key word has been spoken and a couple of times one of the Google Homes has mistakenly tried to switch off (or on) all the devices, which was a bit of a laugh. There is a Google Home Mini in the kitchen which often responds, even though it is not the nearest to the person speaking, it then seems to get confused and says 'Something has gone wrong.' I think this could be because it is a long way from the wireless hub.
Generally though, they all respond in a timely and accurate fashion.
PS: The reason I have both is that I use the Dots (which I had first before Google Home was available in the UK) for Amazon Music, which I play through the Google Homes (better speakers). The Google Homes are the main 'smart home' communicators.

There is definitely some latency between asking and that request hitting controlicz, which is frustrating. But I'd put it at around 1 second. I'm hoping google will address it with a sw update

Hi,
Can you mail me from your controlicz profile?
Did you receive a receipt?
Am home tomorrow, will look at it asap.

Hi Madgeni,
It seems you changed the blinds command effect.
If I say
Switch On the blind
Domoticz log indicates :
2018-08-17 14:30:38.601 Status: User: Controlicz initiated a switch command (38/Volet Salon/Off)
I know you are waiting for Google to implement blinds properly, but receinving OFF command when you say ON is a bit cumbersome.
Regards

Hi,
Just walked in the door from hols, will fix this as priority this weekend. I need to handle the "inverted" blind scenario better

Hi - can you 'sync my devices' - and re-test? Thanks

Hi,
It's ok now. I did not have to sync the devices though. Why do you mean by "syncing devices" ?

Hi all,
Is there a limit to the number of devices supported?
I only see 7 devices in my "devices" and not all are usefull.
How can I select the devices that Alexa can manage?
Thanks in advance!

There may well be a limit but I suspect it's a high one, I have dozens of devices controlled via Controlicz, admittedly I use the Amazon Alexa platform but I assume the Google one would be basically the same.
There are basically two things you need to do
Firstly, Controlicz will only see devices which are in a room plan, it doesn't matter which plan it is and you don't have to make a specific one for Controlic, as long as the device is in at least one room plan then you are good to go.
The second thing (and this has caught me out once or twice), best practice is to create a user account in Domoticz for Controlicz to use to go in with, so you might create a user called Controlicz_Access with a password, and that is the combination you would put into the Controlicz portal page. But you have to make sure that this user account can access the devices you want - so in the account setup page in Domoticz (Setup / More Options / Edit Users), alongside each account is a button called 'Set Devices'. Click that and make sure that all the devices you want Controllicz to access are in the right-hand column.
Do all that and then you should be able to add devices.

What he said
Upper limit with Google *was* 120 devices, but think that's been raised again
