Hello!

I found your project and it might be a solution to control my Schlotterer window rollos. I have a MonoTel remote control by elero and so I wonder if your solution is compatible with that?

Short answer: It depends. Long answer: There are two Elero protocols supported by your MonoTel. Only the bidirectional one works. Please check the manual: https://www.elero.com/en/downloads-service/downloads?tx_avelero_downloads%5Baction%5D=download&tx_avelero_downloads%5Bdownload%5D=320&cHash=2b5c961f89e27370f8023983cceef0c1

Thanks, but I can‘t see the pdf

Sorry, I accidentally copied the wrong link - fixed.

Nick75wien commented 3 weeks ago

Thanks! My remote looks really old in contrast to that: IMG_4389 IMG_4390

andyboeh commented 3 weeks ago

Uh... I don't know what protocol those speak, probably the old, unsupported one. If the blinds are older than ca. 10 years, it's the old protocol.

now that I have the hardware and some time to play arround I wonder if I need to install anything elese on Home Assistant or just flash the ESP32 with your code ?

andyboeh commented 2 weeks ago

Just flash it with ESPHome and the custom component. Home Assistant will automatically pick up the covers once you add the ESPHome device.
