Hi Tom, I am using your homebridge-rademacher-homepilot plugin and it works perfectly! But now I installed two Rademacher DuoFern Universaldimmer. The Homepilot 2 itself recognizes the actors, but homekit does not. Here is what HomePilot2‘s deviceajax.do says: (I just xx-ed the serial)

Can you help me with that?

Thanks in advance, Kolja

What happens, if you add the dimmer as blinds: // blinds if(data.productName.includes("RolloTron") || data.productName.includes("Troll Comfort") || data.productName.includes("Rohrmotor") || data.productName.includes("Connect-Aktor") || data.productName.includes("RolloTube") || data.productName.includes("Universaldimmer")) {

Adding it as lock/switch only supports on and off, blinds support 0 to 100%.

That‘s a good idea, I will try this. But how do I tell homekit that it‘s a ‚light‘ instead of a ‚blind‘? Cause my favorite siri-commands are ‚hey siri - close all blinds‘ and ‚...lights off‘ :-/ These won‘t work anymore then...

That‘s the next step and a little bit more work, let‘s do fhe first step first ;-)

Hi Tom, first: THANK YOU! Adding the dimmer as blinds works fine! Now it's even possible to tell siri "xy-device to 20%" and it dimms the light then. The only thing is, it's upside down: homekit shows the device "open" (so the light should be on) when it's actually off. It's the same with the siri commands: my command "xy-device to 20%" dimms the light to 80%, so it's almost 100% on. Telling siri "xy-device to 80%" dimms the light to 20%. So it's almost off. Only 50% works fine (haha - true, but just kidding...) I'm excited to the next steps :) Best Kolja

Ah, okay. That looks like a dimming device... Can you give me just a short hint what to change, what to copy and where to paste in ‚your‘ rademacher-homebridge index.js? I don’t really know what to do with this info :-/
