Morning mode #1

Open miguelpruivo opened 2 years ago

Does this work with Soma Smart Shades 2 and do you think that the morning (slow) mode can be implemented? Where did you get the commands from? Did you use a proxy to intercept them or are just public available?

Thank you!

Edit: just found it, looks like there is. I'll implement it and issue a PR.

yes, just found the same thing on the api that you have linked to. Looks like it will be pretty trivial to add

How does your plugin differ from this one? From the developer, the second doesn't need Soma Connect installed, does this mean that yours do?

Also, could you publish the plugin to the NPM so it's exposed into the NR plugins?

Thanks!

mine calls apis on the soma-connect box. The other one makes direct bluetooth requests to the blinds.

it is on npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-soma-smart-shade

I don't have the Soma Connect Box, only NR. Does that mean I can't use yours?

yes but you don't need to buy the soma connect. You can just use a raspberry pi near the blinds to control it. I used a raspberry pi nano and it worked as well as any bluetooth control does (which is not flawlessly). if your raspberry pi that runs node red is right next to the blinds then the other might work ok. If it's in a different room I would expect you to have even more issues than I had.

I no longer use soma blinds as in my experience bluetooth connections are not reliable. I now use zigbee devices.
