Stop tilt of Blinds Control (ShutterControl II)

[tschamm]

Dear Bosch team, I'm implementing support for Blind control of the ShutterControl II device. Setting tilt angle is clear, but I'm missing the documentation how to stop the tilt in the current position in the BlindsControl service. The function is available in the Bosch App, so maybe this is also exposed via API? The ShutterControl service is exposing the operationState which can be set to STOPPED. Is there an equivalent available for the Blinds control? Best, Thomas

Hi @tschamm i just created a quick debug script here: https://github.com/jakobgoerke/bosch-shc-debug

You just need to run it and trigger the functionality in the app itself, then you would be presented with the operationState (and more) of the device that was triggered.

I also included a readme to set it up, hope that helps.

Bad thing, I do not own that device (Micromodule blind) myself, this is why I cannot test it out. The script is helpful for long polling, I have the same functionality in python (much more complicated, though...).

Ah i see ... well sure then this does not help at all :) I also don't own that device currently, lets hope for an official reply then.

Hi @tschamm, there is indeed a REST API to stop shutter/blinds movement:

PUT /smarthome/shading/shutters/<deviceId>/stop

Hope, this helps!

If you want to move blinds to another level but keep the current angle, you should use the BlindsSceneControl state, which first moves the blinds to the desired level and then tilts the slats to the right angle.

Hi @sebastianharder I'm missing a body for the PUT command, or should it be a POST?

[sebastianharder]

Hi @tschamm, just checked it: empty body is fine.
