@Mikelawry214 This enhancement shouldn't be too difficult to add. We would just need to capture the API calls for the different commands specific for shades to be able to add it. My guess is it's similar to a dimmer (i.e., Up/Down/% vs On/Off/%). A lot of the dimmer code might be reusable here. When I added the garage door support I used the Chrome Developer Tools to capture the network activity of the URL Request on the alarm.com website. Garage doors even more basic though. Once you can capture the URL Request, Request Headers, Payload, etc. it's pretty straight forward.

Yes it is similar to a dimmer switch. If the ability to add is available, what would I do on my end to update it to see if within my accessories. Thanks for your help

I found the settings to be very similar obviously with a different identifier
Not sure what I would do next.
@Mikelawry214 I can't take it on right now due to other family/work commitments but in general the process would be capture the api calls. Write the new methods for up, down, status, in this package and the node-dot-alarm-com package, create a pull request merge that into a beta and then test.
Thank you. I totally understand.
Honestly I have no idea about coding.
Anyone willing to take on this. Willing to donate money for your work
Happy to donate as well
I may have a bit of time coming up. There is a discord channel on the homebridge server dedicated to this plugin
https://discord.com/channels/432663330281226270/742182845056942210
I can describe the steps I'd need to implement shades over there.
Sure just let me know
The channel on the discord is #node-alarm-dot-com
Unfortunately that link isn't working for me on discord
Sorry. Try this https://discord.gg/Z8jmyvb
I'm working on this one over the next 2-3 weeks with @Mikelowry1 to get shades implemented.
hi all, any updates on shade integration? would be great to have.
Since I don’t have shades I would need someone to contribute a PR based on the API calls they see in the web portal.ChaseOn Oct 6, 2023, at 4:12 PM, Stugatza @.***> wrote: hi all, any updates on shade integration? would be great to have.

Alarmdotcom has now added the ability to utilize Somfy Shades on their platform. The Somfy shades are still connected through zwave but show in a different area as shade rather than lights.
Can we get this added as an accessory as well. I added a few photos of the item in the app.
