Hi,
I really love my Cellular Nowa day/night shades, but the Matter connection to Homey is really unstable and it frequently disconnects from Homey.
Are you working on integrating the Cellular shades into this app?
Hello,
I just loving the auto-open at sunrise Flow. Automation ideas or hit any snags with Matter.
I recently purchased a SmartWings Smart Zebra Double Roller Blind with a solar panel and remote control, featuring a Z-Wave motor. I am trying to integrate it into my Homey pro (late 2023) system.
I have installed the official app from https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.smartwingshome/Smartwings/ on my Homey Pro (2023) and attempted to connect it.
Unfortunately, I have not been successful. My other Z-Wave Devices have no problem to control and to discover/add.
Here’s what I have done so far:
- In the Homey app, I clicked on “Add Device,” selected the SmartWings app, and chose the Z-Wave motor.
- The app instructed me to press the “P” button.
- I pressed the “P” button on the blind for 6 seconds (the LED on the motor turned red).
- However, nothing was detected, and the red LED turned off.
- I reset the device to factory default (by holding the “P” button for approximately 14 seconds), but it did not help.
- I restarted the Homey Pro, disconnected it from the power, and tried again.
Despite all my efforts, I have not been able to resolve the issue. Do you have any ideas what else I can try?
The new Matter 1.3 firmware update could fix that. if your device qualifies. In this video, I demo the process for installing the Matter 1.3 firmware update to your SmartWings Matter shades using the 3R-Installer app. Before you get started, I recommend that you check compatibility by reaching out to SmartWings as I did. Not every motor can take the update. If you’ve got an older module, SmartWings may need to swap it out for an updated module.
Thanks for the @Bud_M, I really appreciate the video and article.
I will reconnect the shades to Homey and give it a try.
You’re welcome Havard. If you get a chance, drop me a line and let me know how it would work for you. ~ Bud
