Somfy RTS Sunscreen Open Close State #139

Open Veldkornet opened 5 years ago

Veldkornet commented 5 years ago

HomeyKit v3.0.6 Homey v2.0.2

Would it be possible to switch the “Opened” and “Closed” status of the Somfy RTS Zonwering if the type is a sunscreen?

At the moment, when my sunscreen is closed (ie, it is “up” / not extended), it shows in HomeKit as “Open”. The reverse is obviously also true, when my sunscreen is extended (ie, open / down), it shows in HomeKit is “Closed”.

Of course, if these were window blinds / curtains that would make sense. But for a sunscreen, it’s actually the opposite.

Now I see in Homey, that you can choose what type of device the Somfy is. Would it be possible to reverse the “Open” / “Closed” status if the type is a sunscreen?

At the moment, sun shades aren't supported at all (it's a new class for firmware v2 that we haven't yet implemented). Should be easy to add, including the inverted action.

Can you make a screenshot of the data for this device from https://developer.athom.com/tools/devices ?

I want to know which capabilities it has, and because it's an Athom app, the source isn't available 😖

It is also possible to invert somfy sunscreens in the Homey app. This way iT works as expected in HomeKit (have them myself). IT is in the advanced settings menu

robertklep commented 5 years ago

@nhassink oh, that's even better! (less work for us)

Still need to add support for sunshade classes though (and possibly others too).

Veldkornet commented 5 years ago

But in Homey, it’s correct. Up is up and down is down, why would I want to break that one to fix HomeKit.

Assume you’re referring to this, where you can invert the signal 20e83d0b-7858-425b-a778-cdcf678db521

Yes I have the second one set to ja.

nhassink commented 5 years ago

Another option is to use a virtual device and four flows to set the up/down state inverse to the actual sunscreen and add the virtual device to homekit. I had it this way when the inverse setting was not yet available in the HomeKit app

Veldkornet commented 5 years ago

Yes, I’ve done that previously with the virtual devices, but then I have two floating around in Homey, and I have to hide the one away somewhere so people don’t get confused etc. It’s messy. But I don’t want workarounds for everything :) I just want it to work properly :)

Hi, I am having the same issue with the inverted indication of the sunscreen and blinds (Somfy via TaHoma switch). Did you find a solution in the mean time? Thanks
