Hi,

Firtsly, thank for publishing this Node - I am looking forward to using this with Z Wave Fibaro Shutters with Micasaverde Vera Edge.

I am setting this up for a house on two floors with with above and below going from due east round to due west.

I am confused how the dimensions work as there is no mention of cm's or Meters - Feet & Inches etc.

A few tips on best use would really help if you have time.

Many thanks

Ken

It is agnostic of unit of measure - you just need to use the same unit of measure for each of the dimensions. I personally use centimetres.

With regard tips - I think it is important to have a view of how you want the blinds to be operate and behave. For me, it was about opening in the morning, keeping direct sunlight off furniture and closing in the evening.

Happy to address specific questions.
