Venetian blinds don’t close fully

[korneliuscode]

Describe The Bug: The venetian blinds close on close command but then tilt so the blinds are open horizontally.

Expected behavior: Would be great if they closed fully or the angle could be set.

Is this not a duplicate of #25?

I’m not 100% sure. I felt one is the config and this one a simple close. Can I help with this one somehow?

Hm... I guess we'll find out when I have the leisure time to focus on the blinds (which is hopefully the case in my Christmas vacation). 😉

I guess I found the reason. I analysed with the Homekit App as well as the FreeatHome App. It´s about the Slat Postition which is given by the app at Position which is a the angle of the Slat.

Free at Home Down (Slat state of the app 0)

Hello, I am new to Homebrige and its plugins. I would love to use your plugin, but I would just need it for blinds/raffstores. Can you just give me an update, will it be available any time soon?

Can I use your plugin in beta version right now for rollers/blinds/raffstores or are there any problems?

Hi @MaxV85, shades and blinds are experimentally supported at the moment. As you can see on the example of this issue there are still a couple of quirks to be worked out with the implementation. I do plan to continue working on them but I don't have a timeline. Also, I don't have free@home blinds for testing, so I can't really tell you how easy it'll be to get the user experience right.

I cannot help you with the decision whether or not to use the plugin for the blinds in it's current state. You don't really have anything to lose except for your time. If you do try out the plugin and encounter an issue, please feel free to share any details that might help me improve the implementation.

Thank you very much for the email. I am happy to read that you are continuing to work on that. I will try it out and give you any issues and experiences I will have.  I summarize: slats are supported, but experimentally. Correct?Best regards Am 07.03.2023 um 22:24 schrieb Philip Gerke @.>: Hi @MaxV85, shades and blinds are experimentally supported at the moment.

Dear Philip,I don’t know how to get the plug-in working and I found no solution. My problem is the configuration does not work.I enabled the local API and also created a certificate. But I think, I don’t understand which IDs, username etc to enter. I tried everything…name": "My @. Setup", "host": "????", "user": "12345678-9ACB-DEF0-1234-56789ABCDEF0", "password": "admin Passwort???",In particular „Host“ and „password“ are my problems. User, I guess, is the long name I find in the local API settings of @. Maybe you are so kind to help me out. Sorry for bothering you, but I did not find any explanation. Best regardsMaxAm 07.03.2023 um 22:24 schrieb Philip Gerke @.>: Hi @MaxV85, shades and blinds are experimentally supported at the moment.

Dear Philip,

how can I support you for implementing slat support? I can send you everything you want, I just need some instructions probably.
