suggestion: covers #224

Closed aferraz closed 7 years ago

aferraz commented 7 years ago

@arendst, it's possible to add, for board with 2 relay like electrodragon, a function to trasform it in covers ? For example: stat/cover1/STATE: give current state OPEN/CLOSE cmnd/cover1/set: accepts values OPEN/CLOSE/STOP, when OPEN power off relay2 and power on relay1, otherwise power off relay1 and poweron relay2. For STOP power off both relay. Setting pulsetime for the relay it's possible to power off the relay when the cover is totally open or close.

Thanks Alessandro

in user_config.h you can define what the states are (curently ON/OFF) but you cannot have different states for different relays, and there are no commands that switch multiple relays at the same time, you would need to send two commands.

That should be trivial to do in your home automation software, and the complexity of listing all the possible combinations in the firmware would eat up too much space and add too much complexity.

Hi @davidelang if it's a tricky thing there are no problems to do with home automation software. It could be a useful addon to the sotware. Only an idea ;-)

I think that what you are looking for is the functionality outlined in #288
