Yes it needs a re-programming of the chipset on Athoms side. Thats why I requested working via the Brel Home Hub instead as a third party device. Maybe in the future it will connect directly to Homey but I guess once this Homey App is done they checked it off their list. But who knows! Athom and Brel can’t agree on who needs to change their game to work with eachother. So this is the best they can do. ---

I have top down / bottom up blinds. They are connected, but I can only steer the bottom engine. I expect that this is not yet surported. I would also be nice if you can check the battery status in the app. ---

My blinds work fine in the original Brel home app. But when I try to control them with **homey** it doesn’t matter at what percentage I set my blinds at they will always go up to their start position. Has anybody else encountered this bug? ---

I have the same problem here. I can’t set the percentage either. He then goes up or nothing happens. I hope they come up with an update soon. ---

No, unfortunately. I have sent an email to Brel, but no response. I am still using the link via IFTTT → Alexa → Brel home app to trigger a scene. ---
