This is a common misperception for the curtain track direction; there is no default correct setting.
The curtain controller / motor has a default firmware setting (used in the app), but the actual installation of the controller on the track and mounting of the carrier to the left or right side of the belt determines if the track direction is “reverse” or “normal”.
Yeah I installed a fibaro dimmer 2. 1 click lights on 2 clicks open curtain 3 clicks close curtain. 2 clicks switched to close curtain after the update. With the reverse option 2 clicks is open again
Hi @TedTolboom I still cannot add my motor to homey. If I want to add the controller homey sees the device but then the error that the device is not responding again. Do you have some tips I should definitely follow to add the device correctly?
I’ve managed to add one motor last evening to homey, but this morning it didn’t response to a command. And gives the error the device could not be reached.
I’ve got 8 routers in my living room, and the curtain motor is right below one of them. Don’t think that’s the issue honestly. But I don’t get it either why it’s not working, bit frustrating. Last night the motor responded well, the calibration worked. Until this morning, want to open the curtain, no response.
I had the same issue in the beginning. Adding an extra router helped solving my problem. I also disconnected the battery/power sometimes. Now my curtains are stable for quite a while.
What kind of routers? Maybe you have light bulbs and somebody cut the power by using the switch? And for that reason the router constantly goes away inside homey, which could create unstable behaviour if your enddevice was relying on that light bulb for his zigbee route?
My goal is to receive a push notification when mail is delivered at my home.
I’m hoping to achieve this by sticking an Aqara Smart Vibration Sensor on the inside of the flap of my letterbox and using this App to trigger a flow.
The sensor will arrive next week, but it suddenly occurred to me that this might not work as I planned; my letterbox is not a physical box outside of my house, but a hole in my front door. Thus, when I open the door the flap will alsomove…
However, it will probably not tilt much, nor open/close (drop).
Would it be possible to only trigger a flow if the vibration sensor detects a certain tilt (or drop), but not when it vibrates/moves?
If so, this setup might still work to achieve my goal?
(Or should I better try an Aqara Door & Window Sensor instead, with the sensor unit on the door and the magnet on the flap?)
