Somfy RTS - My Position

Questions & Help
1

I have recently purchased blinds which have a Somfy motor and RTS remote.
I have installed the Somfy RTS app on my Homey and can see and control the blinds via Home and Google Assistant.

Whilst I can set the Homey to move the blinds to the idle / My Position setting (which is my preferred location during the day), I don’t seem to be able to set it with Google Assistant.

I synced Homey with Google, and that’s how Google can see the blinds, but it can only open or close them. It cannot move them to the idle position.

In homey, when it shows the controls in the shape of a remote control, there is an up, O, and down setting. O being idle ‘my position’.

In Google Assistant, when it shows the controls in the shape of a remote control, there is an up-and-down setting. The O being idle, ‘my’position’ is not shown, and therefore I cannot set the blinds to the idle or favourite position.

Any assistance in this would be appreciated.

Imho this can only be solved by Athom.
But there’s a chance they point the finger to Google.

I created a flow on Homey with
IF this flow is started
THEN put screen to MY

I saved that flow and made it a favorite in Homey.

Then I created a flow in Google Home with
Hey Google, screen stop.
That links to the favorite flow on the Homey where it links to the MY flow.

Maybe this will help you in the right direction.

Don’t know if there is only a MY card or also a Stop card.

Thanks very much Mike, that worked for me.

Once I created the flow as a favourite, I could see it as a scene in the automation section in Google home and could therefore use it.

I haven’t managed to find a stop option but don’t need it yet.
