DNS now ok - think it could be an intermittent issue between godaddy and route53
I'm still having trouble linking accounts. Did you find anything in the logs? PM me if having my e-mail address or other info would be helpful. Thanks.

@Madgeni
It works perfect! But I can not set/get temperature and light color.
Is it not possible for german version?

set/get temp *should* be working ok - however, I wonder how Alexa handles decimal places (in the UK we use . on the continent, you use ,) so maybe that's it?
Colour does need looking at - the data is being passed, i just need to work out how Domoticz takes it! Once it works, it will just 'work' for you, and won't require any changes on your side.
I'll look at it next :)

Looking at the logs, someone made a setpercentage (100%) request about 45 mins ago, and it seems to have responded correctly - I can't see who it was (you'll be pleased to hear :) )

updated the FAQs with the Friendly Name change. If you want your devices in Alexa to be different to the name in Domoticz - add Alexa_Name: then the name you want Alexa to understand in your Domoticz device Description field. Forget, then rediscover your devices in Alexa, and you're ready :)

@Madgeni,

Really appreciate your work on Controlicz! Donation is coming up, after solving this one ;):

Most of my devices are discovered by Alexa:

But except for my central heating thermostat:

I included the device in the room plan, and the device is available to the domoticz user I configured in the Controlicz webportal.

Any thoughts?

weird! can you post a screenshot of the thermostat from Devices? What's the Type and SubType?

also, can you rerun a discovery, and post a timestamp in here?

Before I go to install: what are the exact advantages compared to HA bridge?

no ha-bridge software to maintain and host.
more out of the box.
