Hello,

I use a sunblind with Somfy RTS engine, paired the trellis remote and now I can control it in the device menu with up and down arrow. The next step is to control it with 1 virtual device button . I tried to add False variable to check in the flow Knop-Zonnescherm-Omlaag but then it only works when the sunscreen is in down state. Any help appreciated. The flows, which used are attached.

Regards, Rutger Jan

No I don’t see a value. I thought when the button is pushed the value changes but see a local tag. Maybe silly question but whats the easy way to check this. Normally I edit a flow.

You can use the somfy card only. It shows the status
