New version coming up soon, with support for Slide local API. If you want to test: > **[Slide](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.innovationinmotion.slide/Slide/)** > > Maak je gordijnen slim met Slide Briefly press the reset button twice, with about 0.5 second between the two presses. If you see the LED (the other hole) rapidly flash five times, you have disabled the Cloud API and enabled the Local API. _(If you see the LED slowly flash two times, you have enabled the Cloud API and disabled the Local API)_ ![slide_local](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/8/c840b55439ba2f3c520bd1ddc3d633385a8d1461.jpeg) These instructions will also be shown in Homey when you pair a new local Slide device. Once you enabled the local API, the app will find the device(s) in your local network. **Please mind, that your curtains can no longer be controlled using the Slide app on your mobile phone** Use the Homey app instead. In return: - The slide devices will still be controllable with Homey, even if your internet connection or the Slide Cloud is down - Your device status will be updated every 3 seconds instead of every 30 seconds ---

New version is live now anyone test it ? If I reset then can I calibrate them with homey then ? ---

You can recalibrate them with Homey. That also works for the cloud API version though; select the Slide app in Homey and the cards should be there (both for single device and all devices in a zone). ![IMG_F6CC43CE85FA-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/2/0211ca538b787e38793ad9d97ebf10b1c149c56b.jpeg) ---

The recalibrate will stop once it is finished. ---

On one set of curtains? That wonā€™t work with the Homey app, I thinkā€¦ If they are separate curtains, it doesnā€™t matter, each Slide will do its own calibration. Just let it finish and it will know the beginning and end of the curtain rod. ---

then unfortunately no local API for me, since it is a large curtain rail, and there is a curtain on both the left and right with different positions ---

Just let it finish and it will know the beginning and end of the curtain rod. There are 2 separate curtains in the living room one closes to the left and the other to the right so 2 separate slides, but the length is different when both slides are closed. they donā€™t go out completely ---

Not sure if that will work, I didnā€™t even know you could stop the calibration in the smartphone app. Never knew it was possible to have separate 2 curtains of different lengths on 1 rail (with Slide). ---

With the slide app you can manually stop then when calibrating ---

Am I correct in seeing that some of the cards have been removed. I use the Cloud connection and with the latest version I lost a card (immediate stop). It seems to show as available still on the App page itself but not sure if those cards are for the local connection only? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/f/5f17836af0748e775fecd844dcf5cef61125599d.png) in the ā€œThenā€ available cards I (only) see these; ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/1/11711de87559b46639a1a77d75f9fc5308e7a436.png) Quite a bit less than what I had before/expect based on the App page. ---

Thanks for pointing this out @Hannes85! I now see that the flows with immediate stop are broken here too. Addionally, I am missing the flowcard to calibrate the curtains as well, @Jorden? On the latest app and firmware here too, using cloud connection. I have Slide Pro. ---

Iā€™m trying now for 30 min to get the slides on local APIā€¦ lights are blinking 5 times, but still homey canā€™t find them locally, and I can still controle them with the slides applicationā€¦ šŸ™„ Iā€™m guessing Iā€™m the only one with this problem? Already power down the slidesā€¦ What can I try more?
