I have used the Brel app to manually shut/close and open my blinds. That works fine with the 2 buttons “up” and “down”.  
I am now trying to create flows to close the blinds automatically, but that seems not doable, there is only a flow card for “preferred position”.  
Anyone have experience with this app and shutters? What am I doing wrong?

Hi Dennis, what do you mean? I only see one card related to the blinds/shutters, see this picture:

It says “go to preferred position”. Nothing else to choose.

I removed the device and added it again, now I do have the options you mention. Very strange but glad it works now! The controls also look different now.
