Tilt only Somfy blinds via BOND entities states are unavailable

[6254sagebrush]

The problem

I added recently Somfy blinds via BOND. I have two blinds and entities were added.
cover.xxx_office_left_blind
whenever I press UP/DOWN button I get this error:

Failed to call service cover/open_cover. 404, message='Not Found', url=URL("http://BOND_IP_ADDR/v2/devices/BOND_CODE/actions/Open)

for this BOND entity I have few FAN connected that are working smoothly...

Hey there @bdraco, @prystupa, @joshs85, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (bond) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

[bdraco]

Have you tried deleting and reading the device to the bond and then reloading the integration ?

[6254sagebrush]

@bdraco I tried few times. in one of the blinds pressing the white rectangle (My) is doing what it supposed to do. but pressing UP/DOWN returns the error all the time. The other blind My is not doing anything, UP/DOWN still get the error I mentioned.
using BOND APP I can cvontrol both blinds. moreover I have few FANs constrolled and able to change speed and on/off the light there.

[bdraco]

Are the somfy shades tilt only?

Can you post a screenshot of the shade in the bond app?

[bdraco]

That explains it. The integration doesn't have support for tilt only blinds. It assumes all blinds are open/close

@bdraco ohh, anything I can do to have tilt support ?

[bdraco]

I couldn't find anything in the bond api docs on how this so I'm not sure its possible to support, if the docs are missing, or the command to tilt is called something that wasn't obvious

http://docs-local.appbond.com/#section/Features/Open

You might try asking here

@bdraco thanks will ask there

[6254sagebrush]

@bdraco how come the pressing of open/close using BOND APP tilt it up/down? isn't HA immitate the command of the BOND APP ? so theoretically it should work the same? am I missing something ? thanks

[bdraco]

It is sending the Open command and getting a 404 Not found from the bond device. I assume its called something else since Open isn't working.

You could play around with the api http://docs-local.appbond.com/#section/Getting-Started/Get-Device-Information and see if you can discover what the bond device is expecting to get.

@bdraco nice, I manage to get from the Somfy device: actions: "Hold","TiltClose","TiltOpen","Pair","Preset","Stop"
I will read how using curl command I can use it

[bdraco]

It would still be good to ask on the bond forums since it looks like it is indeed missing from the api docs. (unless I am blind)

[6254sagebrush]

@bdraco ;-)
I see it is not in the API I will ask thanks

[bdraco]

Also if you can get a dump of the current state, we might be able to figure out enough of what is needed to support it

@bdraco it is possible to control the Tilt :-)
curl -H “BOND-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” -X PUT -i http://bondIP/v2/devices/blindDeviceID/actions/TiltOpen -d {}
curl -H “BOND-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” -X PUT -i http://bondIP/v2/devices/blindDeviceID/actions/TiltClose -d {}
curl -H “BOND-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” -X PUT -i http://bondIP/v2/devices/blindDeviceID/actions/Hold -d {}

Hold is like "My" Button

[bdraco]

Great. We do need a way to detect if it's available so we need a dump of the current state as well

[6254sagebrush]

@bdraco is it a curl command of the state ?

[bdraco]

Yes. The url to get the state should be in the api docs.

@bdraco each command update both counter1 and 2

Checkout the PR, and rsync the bond component into /config/custom_components/bond/, then restart. This will override the built-in bond integration with the one in the pull request. When the release is done, delete /config/custom_components/bond/ and update

found this:
SUPPORT_OPEN = 1
SUPPORT_CLOSE = 2
SUPPORT_SET_POSITION = 4
SUPPORT_STOP = 8
SUPPORT_OPEN_TILT = 16
SUPPORT_CLOSE_TILT = 32
SUPPORT_STOP_TILT = 64
SUPPORT_SET_TILT_POSITION = 128

so currently 11 means only open/close/stop, I will change to 240 for tilt and will try

@bdraco Do I need to copy only the new changes files or the entire files (even those who are not changed) ? Thanks

[bdraco]

You need to copy the entire bond directory

[6254sagebrush]

@bdraco I tried with new files but still device become unavailable. why a device would become unavailable? is it after reading the state ?

@bdraco I still get device unavailable, attached the log.

[bdraco]

It looks like the bond hub is failing to return the state of the device. Which firmware version is it running?

[6254sagebrush]

v2.28.0

[bdraco]

Thats pretty new. I have no idea why the /v2/devices/{device_id}/state end point is timing out. You could try the beta firmwares but I'm not sure thats the issue.

Maybe check to see if its failing via curl as well?

[6254sagebrush]

what should normally be returned for state? it returns two counters

?

[bdraco]

I'm not sure what is normal for a tilt only one since I have nothing to compare it to given the api isn't documented

[6254sagebrush]

do you parse the state to see that it is valid? I mean in other entities like fan/light and so on ?

[bdraco]

do you parse the state to see that it is valid? I mean in other entities like fan/light and so on ?

Yes. But valid just means its valid json in this case. The exception you posted implies that its not even responding and instead timing out.

@bdraco tested the PR and it working great, thanks a lot !!!
