My-Position #3

Closed Robhorry closed 1 year ago

Robhorry commented 2 years ago

%-Position doesnt work realy well. Maybe, the Problem ist the opening/close Duration which is different with Shutters (uptime is slower than downtime). Additionally, the My-Button is Missing.

Is it possible to link a defined % (eg 50%) to the My-Position Command?

Best Regards Rob

Hi @Robhorry, I added the possibility to define the closing time different from the opening time. It should be better now for your use case.

For the MyButton, I'm not sure that's something we want to have in HomeKit. I think you should have a look on "Shortcuts" to create a shortcut that will easily set a preset position of your shutter.

Thx for that, i will give it a try. The Preset „My“ is programmed in the Hardware. The RFXCOM has a command, next to many other (like the program comand) How do i use this command with Shortcuts? I will post a screenshot of the commands of the RFXmngr later.

For the RFXCom (and Somfy remotes) the 'My' setting is just pressing the Stop button when it is not moving. From the RFXMngr and when linked to Domoticz it is possible to do this and works fine with the RFXCom.

If you could add an extra button that can be enabled with the curtains, so that we can press the 'My/Stop' button ourselves as an on/off switch that would we be helpful. The My mode is perfect from a usability perspective and from an automation perspective, as it will only give one command from the RXFCom and the motors will do it automatically correctly.

The HomeBridge-Tahoma plugin: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-tahoma adds the My button with added curtains. But I prefer to use the RFXCom as it runs completely local.

Thank you for your interest and feedback regarding the functionality of the blinds. I wanted to clarify the philosophy behind the implementation and address your request.

The primary goal of the implementation is to allow users to set a percentage on HomeKit, and the blinds will automatically adjust to the desired position based on that percentage. This approach emphasises automation and eliminates the need for manual control through a stop button or preset.

Regarding your request to link a defined percentage to the "My-Position" command, it's important to note that the "My" preset is typically programmed in the hardware itself.

Please keep in mind that the current focus of the implementation is on automation and percentage-based control. While the suggestions for manual control are valid, they may not align with the initial philosophy of the project.
