Hi, I think I can/may write in Dutch? I started home automation with great enthusiasm. And much has already been achieved. Now the roller blind. In the App on the phone and on the laptop, the roller blind turns in the wrong direction. Open is closed and closed is open. How and where can I adjust this? ---

Setting the direction of the blinds is not done in the Homey app, but done while setting the endpositions, according to the blind manual. For my blinds, I had to press up and down buttons simultaniously on the remote in the programming phase. Fun fact: the motion blinds remote is almost symmetrical, my wife held the original remote upside down and blamed the curtains for working opposite. 🙂 ---

I’m considering Motionblinds and of course they need to work with Homey. But it appears there are two bridges available: CMD-01 (mini stick) and CM-20 (black round). Do they both work with the app and which is recommended? ---

Can’t say anything about the CM-20, but I have a couple of mini-sticks and have had no issue at all. Very pleased with Motionblinds and connection with Homey is very good. ---

Hi, sorry, I don’t follow this thread anymore. I do not have a Homey anymore, never been near a new Homey pro and do not have Matter products from Eve or Motion Blinds. I do not have much time either. I also do not get any debug logs, because development of this app has been taken over. But for what I can help with comments above: - this app is not for Matter products, but for devices coupled to an Motion Blinds wifi bridge. - CMD-01 (mini stick) and CM-20 (black round) will both work. The latter is more expensive bit proved more reliable to me. - If the blinds are not found, try to experiment with the checkboxes in the settings. Restart the app when you change a setting, wait a few seconds and try again. ---

In contrast to the Motionblinds WiFi app, the position of the roller blind in Homey is not updated when you manually pull the roller blind cord. The only solution is to automatically restart the app. But that’s not my intention. ---

Responding to externally triggered changes to the blind should work. The wifi bridge uses broadcasts to notify of changes happening from the outside, such as remotes or controls on the blind. These broadcasts however do not travel across different networks, long hops or can even be blocked by certain router or switch settings. For instance IGMP snooping is known to cause problems. You can experiment with the options in the Homey app a bit to see if there is a cause from within the Homey Motion Blinds app preventing the broadcasts being received. To counteract possible problems if the reporting does not work, the app queries the blinds at a very slow rate (think once or twice a day). The manufacturer of Motion Blinds explicitly asks not to poll at a higher rate for multiple reasons. One being blinds battery use, but the most urgent one: polling causes writes to the wifi bridge flash memory. This wears out the flash (it is not designed to withstand frequent writes). So polling could cause bridge malfunction. That is why I did not implements polling more often. The fact that the official Motion app works is due to the fact that it uses an different way of communication, not available to integration developers. ---

Do more people have the problem that controlling the top down buttem up curtains via the homey app does not work? Homey sees the correct position, but adjustment via Homey is not possible. ---

I had to do the following. Go to “about MOTION” in your motionblinds app and tap that schreen 5 times(no kidding) That wil generate a key that you can use in your Homey motionblinds app. ---

For those looking to add 3 Day Motorized blinds to Homey - the community app “Motionblinds” does the trick. Be aware that you must add your devices and THEN add a key (available in the 3 Day Blinds app by going to “about” and then tapping the screen 5 times). Once I figured out about adding the key AFTER adding my devices - it works like a charm. Hope that helps… - Ron ---

So, if I understood the app’s patch notes correctly, this app reports the battery level of the motionblinds to Homey and, as such, Homey can execute flows based on the battery level, correct? Example use case: If battery level is below 20% turn zigbee RGB light red. ---

Is there a way to invert the motionblind curtain to show a lighted up box when open and greyed out when closed? My head can’t find this to logic the other way. ![IMG_5462](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/3/435a5ce541cd2a9e21688fef5d40b0ec4834e33c.jpeg) ![IMG_5461](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/7/270a138e8ca4417bf26db9d8a01b7ce4dbbe6237.jpeg) ---

Has anyone tried whether the new MotionBlinds with matter-over-thread works without the extra hub?

Is it possible to switch open and close? Now when i close it it says in homey to open. I have the same for ikea and there is a function that changes that.
