@Torch1969 can you install the version above and let me know if it works?

[Torch1969]

@martijnpoppen. It’s working . Hub and shades are found immediately after entering IP-address, and added without problem. I’m a little short in time right now, so will test things later on, but I’m sure everything is working fine. Quick test of opening a shade is working.

One little thing I saw. The ip-adress is shown in advanced settings of shades, but is empty in advanced settings of the hub. I suppose it has to be shown there also?

[martijnpoppen]

@Torch1969 nice!

I’ll check the hub settings, might be that i missed that with the refactor of the pairing proces

[Torch1969]

or as thank you

[martijnpoppen]

Thank you!!!

[martijnpoppen]

@Torch1969 issue is fixed in version v2.1.2. You can remove and re-add the device if you want.

[Torch1969]

Ip address of hub is shown now. Thx.

Next question . I have duette shades, so with upper bar moving also. I enabled positionkind2 for this (secondary rail). I was expecting this would add the capability “position2”, but it’s not shown at the device information in developer tools.

It’s working with setting from a flow, but no dim slider to move it manually. Did you consider adding that?

[martijnpoppen]

@Torch1969 Interesting that you see that as dualmotor is false in your case

Based on the dualmotor I enable the second motor in the app.
But might be that your Duette is not returning the dualmotor option
I’ll make a checkbox for that in the settings

[martijnpoppen]

@Torch1969 In order to understand why it’s not working for you. Can you add the device again to your homey and send me a diagnostic report after that?

you can do that in the mobile homey app:

More - apps - Powerview - settings wheel right top - send diagnostic report

Adding the device again should work, no need for removing first

[Torch1969]

@martijnpoppen Adding the same device again can’t be done. It is not shown anymore (because app recognizes it’s already added?). So I added another shade.

Now both positions are added
So it looks like it’s working correct. This afternoon I will remove the other shade and add it again to see what’s happening now. If it’s missing position2 I will send you diagnostic report.

[martijnpoppen]

Thanks!

[Torch1969]

@martijnpoppen
Added 2 shades. 1 again after removing. 1 for first time. The shade I added again is missing position 2 again.
Diagnostic report: 6af05a67-6c13-41ad-a69e-b1911ab7a341

This shade is added recently to the hub because batteries were empty and shade didn’t respond anymore ( )

[martijnpoppen]

@Torch1969 strange behaviour it should set it to dualmotor, will debug tonight

[Torch1969]

@martijnpoppen, thx for your effort. When you are debugging, maybe you can look into this issue also:
2 shades (one of them in diagnostic report of this afternoon also) did get dual motor and position2 slider. When I change position2 by flowcards, the value of position2 in device information (developer tools) isn’t changed. The real shade is changing it’s position, so it is working.
Maybe something todo with fact that position2 is marked as “tilt-set”(which is wrong for duette shades)? While in advanced device setting it is “secondary rail” (which is right)?
Screen print after I set position2 to 0:

[martijnpoppen]

Hey @Torch1969
The position 2 is tilt_set on purpose. That way you can also use it in your Google Assistant.

Also see FAQ

I’ll check that value. Did see that too last week

[martijnpoppen]

[martijnpoppen]

@Torch1969 Can you check if this works?

[Torch1969]

Ah, that makes sense, unfortunately this is not working for HomeKit integration. HomeKit uses tilt angle (-90 to 90 degrees), so HomeyKit and HomeKitty don’t recognise this capability I suppose.

[Torch1969]

Thanks for the update. Will check during the day (we’ve got to work too ).

[robertklep]

I’d be happy to take a look at supporting windowcoverings_tilt_set if someone can explain to me what its value means (since the developer docs provide no information at all)

From your description, I’m assuming 0 = -90°, 1 = 90°?
