Hi All, i am trying to find a way to fix/improve HOW Google assistant/home sees my FGR-222 (Fibaro roller shutter 2)
I have 4 roller shutter motors, each controlled by a Fibaro FGR-222(Fibaro roller shutter 2), everything works perfectly in VERA PLUS and VERA CONCIERGE but google assistant/home sees those 4 smart devices as 4 smart lights, not as 4 smart blinds.
so the problem is that i need to say “Turn on light X at 50%” instead of “Open window X”
i have already found some work around with routines… so if i say “Open Window …” or similar in reality it trigger the light command “Turn on light …etc” but if possible i’d prefer to avoid workaround, also because i read that the same devices are supported by Google home as blinds (but via FIBARO home center), so i guess there must be a way/configuration to make Google assistant sees them as windows/blinds/roller shutters and not as lights.
Thank you a lot! any idea/suggestion is welcome!
Attached 3 screenshots(1.2.3.) of how it is currently in VERA, VERA CONCIERGE and GOOGLE HOME, +1 screenshot (“C.”) how i think it should be seen by google home (this last screenshot i took it from internet, it is not my system, just an example)
Same here. I dont really mind since I call my FGR-222 “The Blinds” and as such I can just say “Hey Google, set the blinds to n%”. There is even a way to swap between n% meaning n% open or n% closed. I chose to keep it at open since google replies with “Setting the blinds brightness to n%” because it sees it as a dimmable light.
Thanks for your time and assistance. Using Ezlo & Google Home - does the voice assistant open/close with a command such as “Hey Google, Open blinds 50%”? (I realize you said the GUI doesn’t control it, but I’m more concerned with the voice control)
I dont know I haven’t tried and I think to test it properly I’d have to remove the “Vera” instance of a blind to see, so only an “Ezlo” instance of that blind device is present in Google Home not both.
