since yesterday (or more don't know) I can't add new device in Controlicz.
I add a new device in Domoticz (with or without a friendly name in description), the device works fine.
I add this device in a floor plan, no problem.
If a go in Alexa app (on PC or on Android) and try to find a new device the result is "No new device found".
I have try to deactivate the Controlicz skill
I try to forget all device in the list
No problem to connect to Controlicz, I access Domoticz using https port etc etc...
All that I do has the same result : No new device found.
It's like Alexa left the scan before it was over.
Please, note that before I have no problem to add a new device and that all works fine with my other devices (blinds, lights etc..) Alexa

I don't understand why I can't add a new device since few days

I appreciate any idea to solve this problem.

Edit :
Using Domoticz v4.9763 on Windows server, Amazon Echo

I first created what is now Controlicz all the way back in October 2016, initially open-sourcing the native Alexa smart home skill. This required a lot of setup and maintenance by users, and, as I wrote it, me.
From that, Controlicz was born, a cloud service to support the native integration with Alexa, which required minimal setup by the user, and provided the security and scalability necessary to handle a large, interested and excited user base.
Then, when Google Home was announced, and the Smart Home API was released, I was at the forefront, pushing them, hassling them, working late most evenings on conference calls and webexs with them, to get them to understand that there was a large customer base for open source home automation fans. Finally, proudly, in February this year, I released the first non-hardware manufacturer native Google Home App and continue to work with Google on their roadmap. All in my spare time!
Along with that, I host and maintain a (reasonably robust) platform for you all, and again, spend time and effort refining use cases, strengthening the experience for you, answering emails, forum posts, all in my spare time!
I have had immense support from a core set of people, and thank those people for their help, and the donations I’ve received.
However, the costs and effort I put in continue to be drag on me, and I have to announce that Controlicz will be moving to a subscription model shortly.
The cost will be €3/month, which – I believe – is a fair price for the service offered, which will help cover my costs and time in development and support.
This is not a decision I have made lightly, and I completely understand that this will be a disappointment to some, but hopefully you’ll understand and continue to enjoy the Smart Home experience. There is plenty more functionality to come this year, and as Alexa/Google release it, I will be working hard to add it to Controlicz for you.

As always, you can contact me either here, or via email – [email protected]

All other devices work ok (temp sensors, color switches). But the blinds stopped working from controlicz :

. blind switch works ok from domoticz
. google home is recognizing the vocal/text command on the device
. I see incoming connection in domoticz log but no command issued

Controlicz table, sample lines :

Code: Select all
