Hi Madgeni,
It's been a while but I've got some issues again due to a new Hub installation.
When Logitech updated my device there was no good solution at first. As a fixing result I not only did a restore but also a factoy reset.
After this fresh installation al my actions are working flawless accept for my activities.
'All off' results in 50 actions. Two questions:
Can you do a fix on my activities? (see below) and is there a way for me to prevent this in the future?

Activities working in the Hub's app but not within Controlicz:
Harmony Hub FFFFFFFF 1 PowerOff Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 2064E9A 1 Televisie Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 238A531 1 Netflix Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 2064E9D 1 Spotify Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 2064E9B 1 Radio Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 2064E9C 1 Mediaspeler Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 238A564 1 Youtube Lighting 2 AC
Harmony Hub 238A5A9 1 Spotify op Televisie Lighting 2 AC

Thanx in @vance again and happy holiday's to you and all!

Hi there - can you contact me from your Controlicz profile, and i'll take a look? Just so i'm clear - that's a selector switch? If so, most of those words aren't available in Google (don't forget they hardcode the levels, annoyingly!) - but i can certainly ask for them to be added.
Until then, take a look at the current list in the FAQs and see if there's some workarounds

[jpvaneijk]

Nu username is the same as in Controlicz.
All activities worked fine before? You tackeld this issue before for me?
Can you tell me what else you need?

[Madgeni]

Hi Madgeni,

Synced my devices, they are all in a seperate room in GH. 'TV on' is still responding with 15 devices on.
In Domoticz the channels are also in a seperate room.
In Controlicz the 'Activities' of the Hub are shown as Lightning 2 (Type) and Switch (Google/Alexa). 3 other devices-commands I made (Mute, Stereo and Multi-stereo) are in the same virtual device in Domoticz but in a different room in GH (Domotica) These devices are not handeld with the command 'Turn on TV'. These commands show up in Controlicz as Device/Switch in (Type) and 'Light' (Google Alexa)

What can I do? Try to put the channels in the same room as Mute/Stereo? Reset the GH?

Was it this issue?

[jpvaneijk]

Ah.... I'm not sure of the activities are in a room yet. Check this when I get home. Let you know. Thanx sofar ..

[jpvaneijk]

Once again Madgeni.
Sorry for this misunderstanding. For some reason the activities showed up as 'un-used' in Domoticz and they were not in a room.
Made them 'used', in a room, synced my devises and all is fine again.

Sorry for the troubles I made. Happy Holidays!

[Madgeni]

cool
Happy Christmas everyone

Hello,
Merry christmas!
I have some time now to check controlicz and was hoping to control my receiver volume. However it does not work. I changed the alias name to receiver or "versterker (dutch)" and see in the controlicz website that it is picked up. However if I say "Zet receiver harder" (Increase volume of receiver" or things a like google does not help... Is it even possible to change volume with controlicz?
best regards Tom

[Madgeni]

Hi - Volume control isn't currently available with Google as a trait, but it is on their roadmap. As soon as new types (devices) and traits (behaviours) are available, I am committed to added them to Controlicz

I'm using the Logitech Harmony Hub for controling my decices like TV, Receiver, decoder, etc. Using Gordon's script and Controlicz I'm able to control everything my Harmony Hub does like powering on/off activities and/or device actions. 'Geluid harder/zachter', 'Mute' or whatever. it's possible and working great for me.
Due to some firmware issues for the Harmony Hub last week prices will drop and second hand hubs will be all over the web soon.

succes kerel!

I want also use Google Home to control my Domoticz, but I want a secure connection. Is there some guidance to setup a good, secure and reliable setup.

When using Controlicz I have to open ports so that Controlicz is able to communicate with my RPi & Domoticz.

[Madgeni]

you can use ngrok now with Controlicz

[assenzuid]

Interesting, will try if I get it to work or find some guidance.

[Madgeni]

I found it very simple to use, which is great

Setup for ngrok is simple & provides secure tunnel to #Domoticz host. i.e for RaspPI:
register with ngrok
Download linux-arm version http://ngrok.com
copy 2 Domoticz host, unzip & then type:
./ngrok http <domoticzhttpport> & - this will run in the background

It should tell your host unique ngrok hostname - you just enter that in your Controlicz profile (with port 10001), and you're good to go.

NB - if you restart your domoticz host, or stop ngrok and restart it, it will create a new hostname (so you'll need to update controlicz profile)

[Madgeni]

Am investigating an issue with Controlicz that is affecting service. Will update you asap

[tjabas]

Is there a problem with the controlicz website?

yesterday and today google home has said that it looks like controlicz isnt avalible right now, and im unable to go into the controlicz website.
