Status refresh #26

Closed efthymakis closed 3 years ago

efthymakis commented 3 years ago

The accessory status is not updated/refreshed if you use an external remote. For example, if I use a remote to open a shade or awning and then go to HomeBridge or the home app, the status of the accessory is not updated and still shows as closed. Tapping the accessory resolves the issue, however without an accurate status, I cannot use triggers in HomeKit with confidence.

Unfortunately, this is something that simply isn't possible. The RTS protocol used by the shades does not communicate current state, so if you close the blinds with a remote, the MyLink has no way to know that happened.
