Hello, I have some question before use this plugin. Where I can set time for up/down blinds? Do you set time in configuration to sonoff device? Also, are use orginal Sonoff firmware, or you flush some other?

Thanks for plugin and respons :D

Best Regards, Rade

You don't need a time for the plugin. I don't use any Sonoff firmware. I build up a blind by myself using a stepper motor and 3d printer. I wrote my own firmware. Because I use a stepper motor, the firmware knows the position of the blind at every time. My blinds are still work in progress. I will upload the firmware and some tutorials in a few month.

In your case the plugin will not work. You need a plugin with more logic.
