Window Shutters - Percent display in Alexa app #288

Open njhcarroll opened 5 years ago

njhcarroll commented 5 years ago

I'm really impressed with your excellent service! I'm using the Windows Shutter service on your sinric its and want to feedback to the Alexa app the status - percent open - as well as on i.e. open of off i.e. closed. Currently the app shows no status at all unlike a switch which shows on/off. Is there something I need to add in the code on discovery? I've added SetPowerStatus on Server but nothing is appearing

Can you please post your code to get this to work? I'm ripping my hair out trying to understand how anyone gets this to work. Do you have a servo set up? Where do you even input the servo pin #? I'm so confused. Any help is appreciated.

@njhcarroll As far as I know "open percent" is not supported by Alexa app.

open/closed status needs to implement Contact Sensor. This will be part of Sinric Pro. I will impement this properly with Pro App.

SetPowerStatus is just to set the power on/off thats all

This is a good idea for my windows blinds, and yes for my projector to
