If course, that makes sense. Thank you! ---

Je kunt Somfy IO ook zonder Tahoma aansturen, zie mijn eerdere post daarover: [Somfy io koppelen met homey - #14 by Dik\_de\_Bruijn](https://community.homey.app/t/somfy-io-koppelen-met-homey/109852/14) ---

Hi @Adrian_Rockall I have a Purchased a Zigbee motor for testing unfortunately I can’t see it in Homey - I enabled the developer mode and created a token and filled the token field in the your app - I think I am doing this right - hope you can help Thanks ---

If you install the test version of the app, there’s a Supported Drivers tab in the app settings page. That will show you which driver to select. If the list shows it’s not supported, click on the entry and it will send the information I need to add it. ---

Thanks Adrian you’re a star - can see the device now and added it to Homey ![IMG_0048](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/0/505c98a7ace99f897aa8deb392afa9584cb090eb.jpeg) ---

Hey The app is working pretty well Adrian - just a couple of things - is it possible to have the Ui so when operating them instead of the slider coming from the bottom it comes from the top just like in the ToHoma app - as the photo shows the blind fully open but you could think it’s fully closed also when using flows to send a message when the blind is fully closed or open it doesn’t work for me that also goes for battery level ![IMG_7873](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/7/47374e0da9dbd630b62c947dc1a7fe1c662d91e2.webp) ---

The direction is reversible in the Advanced settings. > [@woto](#): > > also when using flows to send a message when the blind is fully closed or open it doesn’t work for me that also goes for battery level I presume they work using the UI? Can you expand more what you mean by don’t work? ---

Hi - I did see the reverse in the settings and tried that but that only reverses this one ![IMG_7874](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/e/6ef7917693f16c040164712ee13b1aea45892ae4.jpeg) I wanted a flow to let me know if the blind open or closed has been triggered so I know if it’s been opened or closed - using a simple flow like this ![IMG_7875](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/0/8003878b6b711ac495fe90563e834f41d2685dbc.jpeg) ---

Hi @Adrian_Rockall Sorry for the late reply - the slider you use in the Ui comes from the bottom it’s like when you are brightening up a bulb from being off - wondering if that slider can com from the top similar to the Ui in the ToHoma app or is this a limitation on Homey pro side Also is it possible to have a card so when it reaches a certain percentage of being party open for a specific time of your choice ? That would be good to keep an eye on if the blind has reached open/closed status you want it at I have also noticed if you make a flow to give you a notification open or closed and you use the card to set the required percentage and set it to 100% or 0% it will not give you a notification for being fully open or closed it will only work if you use the open or closed card Thanks [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/somfy-zigbee-motor/158030.md?page=1)
