Blinds - Motor controls #31
Comments
I have been working on support for it: https://github.com/homebridge-nhc2/homebridge-nhc2/tree/feature/sunblinds. |
Thanks for your feedback and development! Looking forward to it 👍 |
Hi @christophevg, Just started experimenting and it's very nice to see lights and dimmers work perfectly. You said you were stuck with #24 , do you need any help? What's the status now? |
Hi @rubencallewaert, as the problem is inherent to the different way blinds are addressed by HomeKit and NHC, I won't be possible to have 100% support. So I decided to move forward with reduced support, starting with "simply" opening and closing, omitting feedback and open/close notion. So I picked up development again, starting with additions to the nhc2-hobby-api. But ran in some issues there. I've pinged @wvanvlaenderen on Gitter (once more here now ;-)) to see how to progress with this. Once the additional properties and actions are in there, I'll add basic motor support to the plugin. Afterwards, we can see if this is enough (for most people), or if we need additional effort to get to a higher level of support. It's nearly at the top of my TODO stack, popping up more often now, so with some luck, I hope to cook something up rather soon ;-) |
Hi @christophevg did you have a chance to look at my 3 open PR's already 1 here and 2 in https://github.com/homebridge-nhc2/nhc2-hobby-api ? |
No, not yet myself. The coming days are also not really open to experimenting :-( @wvanvlaenderen follows up and maintains the master branch + releases. So, with a bit of luck, we'll all enjoy blinds support pretty soon. |
Sorry y'all, been quite busy lately. I'll try to wrap this up by the end of the week. |
First of all: thank you all for your work and making this HB plug-in. |
@jdecupere I'm afraid the update isn't at NHC2 protocol level, but rather at UI level in the Niko app, which now has additionally the "extra description" below the icons: |
@wvanvlaenderen gentle reminder 😉. FYI: If needed, I'm willing to become a maintainer on the repo's to add features and help get releases published. After we get blinds working, I'm looking forward to getting thermostats working as well. |
@rubencallewaert I didn't find the time to look into this yet. I've invited you to become a maintainer, this should speed stuff up. Let's get in touch on https://gitter.im/homebridge-nhc2/community to align on the release process. |
Any update on the blinds implementation? |
@wvanvlaenderen @rubencallewaert Can we quickly agree on what still needs to be done to get this feature into the released version? It has surfaced my personal TODO list also again, so I'm willing to put in the effort to finalise this. |
Normally I have 3 changes that should deliver this feature in the best way possible we have right now. (Niko Hobby API limitations regarding the moving direction state). If we merge these 3 PR's this feature should be working: homebridge-nhc2/nhc2-hobby-api#17 |
That would be great, I could help test this out if that would aid you. |
I was wondering if there was any update on this feature 😬. |
@nycho1986 See the following comment (Project is moving to new org: https://github.com/openhomekit) |
Hi,
I don't seem to get my blinds (motor controls) in Home app. (Blinds are working fine through the Niko home app)
Hobby password is OK. The IP is also the correct one of the smarthub.
In the logging I don't see much:
[09/02/2021, 22:37:13] [NHC2] Initializing NHC2 platform...
[09/02/2021, 22:37:13] [NHC2] Suppressing accessories:
[09/02/2021, 22:37:13] [NHC2] NHC2Platform finished initializing!
[09/02/2021, 22:37:13] [NHC2] NHC2Platform 'didFinishLaunching'
Is it because blinds are not supported yet in this plugin? If it should be, what can I do to check what my problem is?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
