Rollershutter switches on two relays instead of one

[Gu213]

BUG DESCRIPTION

When ShutterClose command is issued Sonoff is switching on a pair of relays instead of one relay. This would drive roller shutter motor in two directions at one time. When PulseTime and Interlock configured for InterlockMode 1, the module does not drive relays at ShutterOpen command.

### TO REPRODUCE
as above

### EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
Relays 1 and 2  should interlock themselves. After the duration time both relays should switch off.

### ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

When I noted the strange behaviour, made few attempts to reset, refresh, reconfigure. Finally for this demonstration it was reset 5, minimal flash, target flash, configured.
When inverted shutter logic, same behaviour.
When Mqqt broker alive - same behaviour

**(Please, remember to close the issue when the problem has been addressed)**

I went through the logs one more time and found that my heading description is wrong when saying that at ShutterOpen the module does not energise. As per pasted logs - it should be described that ShutterClose command does not initiate the count down timer.

[stefanbode]

You have. Or defined an interlock. Therefore the shutter assumes you have a fail save configuration where relay is power and relay 2 is up/down. The behavior is intended. You can add a rule to set relay 2 to off if Relay1 goes off. If interlock is set relay 1 is down and relay2 is up. In this case there is never power on both relays

[stefanbode]

Interlock 1,2 Should solve your problem

[Gu213]

Thank you Stefan for responding to my problem. It seems that setting shutter mode to 0 has fixed the behaviour. You had a good feeling when you wrote "relay 2 is up/down". This led me to check the shutter mode again. It was 1. I will attach the motors and hope they work. Anywhere thank you so much for wonderful job on the roller shutter control :)

[ascillato2]

Great to know that now it is working for you.

Closing.

Take a look at the video in the wiki. Calibration is awesome if you do it right. Take a little time but is fun to see how accurate it can be

[Gu213]

Thanks Stefan, my shutters have mechanical limit switches so I do not care so much about calibration of the controls. I give ca. 2 seconds of overhead to each way drive time to be sure that irrespective of changing torsion they will arrive to the end position. I have flashed all my sonoffs to the rollershuter software. They work well with OpenHab2. I'm a beginner in IOT programming. Don't know yet how to program roller shutter item with mqqt topic without using of rules. Item gives command UP, DOWN and STOP. However Sonoff expects command ShutterOpen1 etc. I convert the commands from UP to ShutterOpen1 within rules but there is probably a simpler and more elegant way. What is bothering me now is how to flash the Sonoff RF and allow controls from the remote. Will keep reading your wiki on that new topic :)

[stefanbode]

Hi, regarding the UP/DOWN/STOP I have an idea to bundle this into the shutterposition command. Let me do a try. Even if you have end-stops it is a good idea to have a proper calibration. Otherwise, you will have problems if you move to a designated position e.g. 40% you will get different results if coming from open or from close. As long as you only fully open and close I agree. No need for calibration. I have sunblinds in the garden that moves with the sun :-)

[stefanbode]

I have added this functionality and created a pull request against the master project. You can use shutterposition and then UP/DOWN/STOP to control

[Gu213]

Thanks Stefan. Will keep an eye on this function in the GitHub and compile when it is available. I bet OpenHab community will like it :)
