Shutter with LC-TECH X2 in mode 1 allows changing direction without power removal

[taste66]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. I am using a LC-Tech X2 relay to control my shutter. This relay needs rules to change the relay status over the serial link to the extra processor. (see https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/wiki/LC-Technology-WiFi-Relay) If you change the shutter direction while moving the commands to stop and start the motor ar to close so do not propagate to the actual relais. This breaks the direction relay if this action is performed while moving.

I will try the solution indicated in this post: https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/issues/7133#issuecomment-586680162 Will close the issue if it works!

[taste66]

Sorry was too fast, need to check again

btw the reason I use an LC-TECH is it fits into a European style wall box if you cut the corners a bit.

[taste66]

Looks like the rule is not trigger while
delay(MOTOR_STOP_TIME); is executed. As I am nog SW engineer I would not know how to fix this

[stefanbode]

Yes, this might be correct, because it is a delay(500); that for sure freezes the program execution for 0.5 sec. There is no simple way to overcome this. You can set the delay in the INO file to "0". In this case, the motor immediately changes direction. If I give back control at this time I will have definitely side effects during the main execution of the functions.

[taste66]

Hi Stefan, Thanks I will see if I can simply avoid you change the direction without a stop in between. Currently this means te LC-TECH is not usable this way since it does break the direction relay (confirmed)
