Various angle blinds tilt #51

Hello and thank you for your plugin!

I have a Somfy remote that enables tilting blinds to various angles (in addition to lifting). See the wheel around the "my" button. I couldn't configure such a control using the plugin. Is it possible? If not, is it not implemented yet or there is a fundamental problem for adding it?

In general having two slides, instead of one: one for lifting and another one for tilting, would be great IMHO.

P.S. I use Somfy Connexoon RTS device and its propriety app also has tilting controls (see the arrows on the left of the screen).

Hi @dimastopel 👋

That is one nifty remote!

HomeKit does support a tilt angle on the Window Covering service: WindowCovering

So yes it would be possible to implement it. However I do not know what are the API commands the Connexoon sends to the Somfy server for this action. I also don’t have a device to test with.

Would you be interested in implementing this functionality in the plug-in potentially if you have experience with Homebridge plug-in development?
