Is Fibaro Roller Shutter a two-way communication (IO)? Or it is TRS? If not, what app, transmitter, or RF unit does report the state of tilt and/or open/closed in percentage? It would also be great if the icon show % of state (instead of power in W, kWh, or Temperature C), Is TAHOMA Somfy like that? Just to see the blind state from remote location ---

> [@Marian\_Satko](#): > > Fibaro Roller shutter Wow, many questions… Fibaro is always Z-Wave, it has for the App a specific Topic: [[APP] Fibaro - Your home is your castle (by Athom)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-fibaro-by-athom/362) For all Fibaro / App / Device related Questions of Fibaro , please ask there. and Z-Wave is a 2-way communication protocol See here: [What is Z-Wave? | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/what-is-z-wave/) And NO, it isn’t IO - That’s a dirty proprietary that is only closed / secret by Velux / Somfy Never Heard of TRS … RTS is probably the simple RF signal Somfy also uses but one way… ---

> [@Dijker](#): > > Fibaro is always Z-Wave That’s not quite right. Fibaro also sells Apple HomeKit compatible devices which uses BT or WiFi. But these versions are **not** compatible with Homey. > [@Marian\_Satko](#): > > It would also be great if the icon show % of state (instead of power in W, kWh, or Temperature C), This is what many users want. Please send a feature request to Athom. ---
