Hi. I'v just bought a Somfy Connexoon RTS device to control my blinds. I'v created user in www.somfy-connect.com and I am controlling the device with the ConnexoonWindowRTS iOS app. But... when I put the credentials in your plugin it tells me that 'user doesn't exist'... It's like your plugin tries to search the user in Tahoma database, and for sure it does not exist ... couse it's a Connexoon RTS one.. can you help me please?

Hi @angladacamps 👋

Have you checked the README file options available? You have the service setting that defaults to ConnexoonRTS but you can change it to one of the other possible values. You need to find the server that works for your region.

By the way what is your geographical region?

Let me know if you find a service value that works with your account.

Yesssss! Now it works ! With TaHoma! I’m from Spain, Barcelona

Thank you!

By the way.. is it possible to open the roller shutter to a desired % , I only can open or close totally the roller shutter....

Have a look at the README file, the RTS protocol is a one way protocol that can only send up/down/ stop and favourite commands, it does not allow to send a percentage of closure to the shade unfortunately. That is the same limitation you see in the Somfy app itself.

You can setup an intermediary position as your Somfy 'my' favourite (README).

Glad the new configuration works for you!

Ok, I'v seen the '3 possible' states and how to 'code them'. It be fantastic that you had a way to send a 'stop' command. So, If I send for example 'down' command and after some seconds I send a 'stop' command I would be able to fix a desired position 'manually'. Is there a way to send the 'stop' command with your plugin? I can't see it in readme...

It's not an option because it doesn't map to an action in Homekit.

If you wish to achieve something like that you would need to change the plugin's code, but it's almost impossible to reach a correct closure level with just timing the open and close commands. That is because the commands are sent from your homebridge server to the Somfy server, and then from the Somfy server back to the Connexoon box, and that process can take any unknown amount of time.

The best way to get what you want is by using another protocol than RTS (like Somfy IO). But that means having IO hardware installed in your shades.

Also to be honest, in day to day use, I thought not being able to do that would be an issue, but it ended up not being one at all. Fully open and close is really what I use all the time.

Ok, you'r right... usually we fully open or close (not ever.. but usually), so It'll be ok. IO hardware would be too expensive now to change... :(

Maybe one solution would be having an additional homekit app switch (not slider) to send 'stop' command. So, Imagine you have shutters closed, and you want to open them but not completely. So, you shut 'open' command and, when desired (while looking at the shutter), you activate the switch to send 'stop' command. I'd have to be a switch that returned to OFF position immediately, only for sending the command.

It's hard to explain, but with an option to expose this switch it'd be very handy. I assume that maybe the stop command would not have an immediate effect, but it'd be ok.

well, if you like the proposal.. it'd be fantastic !

thank you very much in advance
