Take control of your Velux blinds and shutters with ease, enhancing both your comfort and sleep quality. Whether it’s blocking out the morning sun or setting the perfect evening ambiance, this app lets you adjust your blinds and curtains seamlessly. Please note that the VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO smart home solution is required.
Limitations
The app currently supports controlling blinds, shutters, and opening windows but does not yet offer the ability to close windows. This limitation is due to the current integration capabilities provided by Velux. If you would like to see this feature in future updates, I encourage you to contact Velux and request that they open the API for window-closing control functionality.
Can I ask Velux to enable opening windows? Absolutely, here is a draft

Dear Velux Team,
I am a loyal Velux customer and truly value the quality and functionality of your products. As a user of the Homey platform, I appreciate the integration that allows me to open my Velux windows, but I find it limiting that there is currently no option to close them via the API.
Having the ability to close windows through Homey would greatly enhance the usability and convenience of my smart home setup. I understand that this might involve entrusting some security aspects to the Homey ecosystem, but I am fully aware of this and confident in Homey’s robust platform, which already successfully manages alarms and door locks.
I kindly request that you consider enabling API functionality for closing windows in a future update. This enhancement would be invaluable to customers like me who are building comprehensive and secure smart home systems.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope you will take this feedback into consideration.
Best regards,
Let me know if any problems arise, and I will do my best to fix them.
