[APP][Pro] Velux

Hi Peter, thanks for the app.
I have an issue with the flows and sometimes the blinds wont open. I saw in the configuration section there is an input for the papertrail.com platform to send the logs, but it is complicated to open an account there.
What do you suggest I could use to get hold of the logs and see what is really happening ?
Cheers,

JS

Hi JS,
It sounds like a connection issue, but i will have a look if you put the following into you papertrail settings (in the app configurations):

Papertrail Host: x
Papertrail Port: x

(removed)

Best,
Peter

Oh, thank you very much, i am going to input that right away.
If everything is fine, you should see calls for curtain opening in the morning (around 6:20) and calls for closing at dusk.

They actually close but not open :sad_but_relieved_face: . I have to trigger the opening manually because the flow doesn’t open them.

Hi JS
I can’t see any logs from you, but it might be on my end. Will you please click on one of your devices in homey and send me the full url

Will look something like this

https://my.homey.app/homeys/640eca400xxxxx958954b8/devices/604b3a63-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-b5acfbdda79d

Best

Hervé, I bought a Tohoma Switch and tried to make the IO transfer as you described in your French manual. Am I right you choose “Transfer IO key” and not recieve an IO key. And after this choice, you have to select a compatible device. Is that “Other, compatible with IO home control”.
I did not got this working and have manualy installed the velux windows in Tohoma

Hi Richard,

Yes that’s right. You don’t receive any IO key by yourself. The TaHoma will transfer this key and that’s the Velux Active Box that will receive it.

After having selecting “Other, compatible with IO home control” on the TaHoma app, have you done the final manip using the Velux Active box ? See below

Oké, clear. But using the Tahoma Switch directly in Homey and address the windows in Tahoma Switch the Velux Active is not necessary anymore, right? So why did you made this workaround

Okey, great :slight_smile:
I also used the Velux Active because I already had it, and Velux told me to do so ^^

Fyi, I had a Velux KLF-200 from an earlier project and I have just created a proof of concept APP that works with Windows for now.

Does this also mean that for control of blinds I can use tahoma?

in our new house there are two Manual velux Windows.

I want to open/close both separately and mount at both shutters.

Windows are at different floors. I have Some doubt about what i need from velux to control it all with Homey (and remote in the room )

Hi guys!

I’ve been using the Velux community app of Peter Jansen (much appreciated Peter!) in combination with 6 Velux windows, blinds, sun screens and some room sensors.

I’ve been experiencing that my automations on a regular basis don’t seem to work because the app seems to loose some sort of connection/session with the active control hub. On a restart of the app in homey everything works fine again.
As a workaround I now imported a restart of the app at the start of the planned flows and that seems to solve my problem but I can’t figure out what is causing the real problem.

Do any of you recognise this behaviour?
