possibility to control the blinds #9

Closed conderstal closed 2 years ago

Hello,

I'm about to buy the ikea blinds but want to be sure I can control them via domoticz / nodered. I saw the state of the blinds can be checked but is it also possible to control the blinds?

The underlying library used by this project does offer methods to set blind position and to stop their movement, is that all you need? Sadly I don't have any IKEA blinds myself, so I'm not able to test this for you. I cannot find a distinct device type for them though, so I wonder what they will show up as...

Either way it may be that I'll need to expose these methods to a new Node-RED node. If you end up buying them I may need your help to make sure I get the implementation right.

That sounds like a plan! I'll have to wait for the final verdict of my wife and let you know ;)

I have IKEA curtains and it is unfortunately not working :-(

Curtain is representative in “tradfri monitor” - nice 👍 However, it is not visible nor controllable in “tradfri-light-control” and “tradfri-switch-control” :-( 👎

I am using Version 0.4.8. It could be great if you managed to get it to work :-)

I'm currently on vacation, but I'll start on this after I get back. I'll let you know if I need anything further when I get going.

I've just release version 0.5.0 with a new node to control blinds! Let me know if this is working, as I don't have any blinds to test this on myself.

Quick Test - Works for me - at least the "set position" command, didn't test anything else!

operation - stop also works as well as the status node seems to be 100% complete for blinds, including position,...

Alright then! Sounds like I can close this issue :smiley:
