[APP] Slide - Automate your curtains

Hi!

I was running into the same issue. For me the solution was as following:

  • Make sure the slide is running in local mode, which you can do by quickly double pressing the little button on the bottom of you slide, once the light blinks 5 time quickly, it is in local mode. If it blinks twice slowly, it is in cloud mode, which you do want in this case. You can press the button with a paperclip or similar thin device. Every time you double pressed the button, the slide reboots so please wait for about 10-20 seconds after you pressed it.
  • In my case I previously added the slide in Cloud-Mode in the Homey app. In the slide app in Homey you can add two devices, local and cloud. You can try to add a new Slide device, and this time select “local Slide”. Then follow the instructions (the installation process also describes the first point in my reply, on how to make sure the slide is in local mode).

I hope this helps. It could also be (not sure if that is an issue with Homey) that you are running an older version of the Slide firmware. There is a topic on Reddit, were Kay (Developer and previous owner of Slide) is still trying to help people to make use of their Slide. You can find the thread here: Reddit - Dive into anything
The thread is in Dutch, so if needed a translate app might help.
