  • Platform information: Synology NAS
    • openHAB version: 2.4

I’ve configured things and items in files like this:

Bridge openwebnet:bus_gateway:MH201_b07494f3 "BUS Gateway MH201" @ "Soggiorno" [ host="192.168.82.196", port=20000, passwd="12345"] {
	bus_automation    TapparellaStanzaGiochi_NEW  "TapparellaStanzaGiochi_NEW"  [ where="13", shutterRun="17000"]
}	

Dimmer iTapparellaStanzaGiochi_444 "iTapparellaStanzaGiochi_444 [%.0f %%]" <rollershutter>  (Gruppo_Tapparelle,Gruppo_Camera_Bambine) {channel="openwebnet:bus_automation:99eef840:shutter", alexa="PercentageController.percentage" [category="SWITCH"]}

The percetage works but I would like to invert the values as : 100% blind totaly UP (window opened) 0% blind DOWN (windows closed)
Also the switch icon are inverded : SWITCH is ON when the rollershutter is DOWN

The SWITCH button command doesn’t work because it send ON and OFF command and not UP and DOWN : I could use it as STOP with a rule but I prefer using only things and items.

Is it possible?

note: Alexa dimmer goes only at 1% and not at 0% : if I want to go at 0% I have to switch OFF.

I need some time to check with Alexa the rollershutter items and the new v3 tags.

For the Alexa side, you can refer to this comment and use routines to accomplish what you need. Until Amazon provides a specific controller for binds, there is much that can be done in the skill. If you really want to invert the dimmer state, you can always use a virtual item and a rule to represent the state you want which you would be controlled via Alexa commands.

thanks but is not a real solution.
For now I use position with a dimmer switch and the command ON and OFF is translated to 0 or 100 with a generic rule for the blinds gruop

Agreed. I just provided some temporary solution until the Alexa side provides a controller for blinds. Anyway, as you noticed, there is no direct solution at this time.
