[APP][Pro] < group > (3.2.4 - Stable)

If there’s anything I can do to help. Let me know

I added my blinds to a group, but the group worked fine? Sorry I can seem to replicate the issue with the blinds.

I recreated all my groups (blinds, lights, etc.) with v3.1.15

Blinds and lights work again without any problems after recreation.

Hi is there a way to control the tilt of my Venetian blinds group within a flow? In the group I could make changes to the tilt, but within a flows I could only set the position and not the tilt.

Yes, have the same, already reported few days back…

So I don’t create any code for flows at all, that’s all handled by honey.

Ie. I say the device can turn on/off and by default the on/off flows are added by the system.

What is a window tilt? Which devices are your grouping? What type of device is it(blind, covering etc) can you confirm that the capability exists in the device but is only missing from the flows?

Are you sure there are flows for tiling up and down … what do they even look like? Flow to tilt up for 4 seconds?

Why do you need it if you have the ability to set the tilt?

It’s possible Homey/API? is buggy :wink: It wouldn’t be first case ever, right.

It’s Windows Coverings TILT - eg. provided by Roller shutter from Fibaro - Fibaro App for Homey | Homey

Roller Shutter 3

It is set to Blinds

I can set TILT via Flows for that particular device and I can set TILT via the device instance itself - but the Flow for that particular device type do not exists

And yes, TILT flow do exists for the device being grouped (Fibaro) - see first screenshot. The timing is managed by the FIbaro device itself - it know the internal timings from the calibration of particular Roller shutter - so basically from Groups/App perspective it’s the same like setting Position, just it’s Tilt position.

Hopefully I explained it somehow better, let me know if some additional details are required, happy to provide them.

@Jamie
Tilt level is set with capabilities
windowcoverings_tilt_up (full up)
windowcoverings_tilt_down (full down)
windowcoverings_tilt_set (set a percentage position via slider control)

If you read along, you will see it’s not YET implemented.

These are the capabilities set in the app.json for a blinds group :

“capabilities”: [
“onoff”,
“dim”,
“measure_battery”,
“windowcoverings_state”,
“windowcoverings_tilt_up”,
“windowcoverings_tilt_down”,
“windowcoverings_tilt_set”,
“windowcoverings_closed”,
“windowcoverings_set”
],

tilt up, tilt down and tilt set are all there, it could be a n issue with homey. Does the same problem occur when you create the group as a united group?

Yes, it does - already tested that before…and now I tested again - with device called “United group” - diag. 2f666705-7b99-4bba-bc23-ed16374f3fe6

Btw Jamie maybe just to be sure - I reported this problem maybe 01/2022, so maybe it’s really somewhere deep in SDK… it’s for sure not connected to the rewrite…

It looks like an issue with homey / deep SDK.

I can try to create issue in Issues · athombv/homey-apps-sdk-issues · GitHub but I’m not sure I will describe it correctly as I don’t know which methods are used by your app… but anyway, for me I find a way and not using Group for TILT, even I would like to :wink:

Hi Jamie

Your changelog suggests version 3.2.2 is available, but the latest version in the Appstore is version 3.1.5. Are those others not available yet?

You have to put “test” at the end of the link

Check the changelog in the app store. Perhaps this is the reason:

Sorry typo. Using version 3.1.15 (not 3.1.5).

It seems 3.1.15 ist the lastest stable/live version.
Newer version are still test/beta versions.
To try you can check the changelog in app store, then click on “test” to get the lastest test version. Then hit ‘install’
