mqttPositionStateValues - "DECREASEING_STATE", "INCREASING_STATE" #9

Closed Kepete closed 5 years ago

1) I'm building currently my blinds and everything works fine, but I do not understand what for mqttPositionStateValues "DECREASEING_STATE", "INCREASING_STATE" are ?

I understand that the "STOPPED_STATE" needs to be received to change the state of opening... and closing... but what for the other two values? opening... and closing... are anyways displayed when a new % value is received.

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

I have in mind, that these values aren‘t really necessary for the native Home App which calculates this Information with the current and target position values. I am not sure how other Apps handle this. But you are right, for now this isn‘t really necessary.

Alright, forgot that it might be used with other programs also, not only Apples home :)
