Hm - strange. Now I don’t know if it’s working or not - Openhab is set correctly in the groups as lifeline/status update?
My RS2 refresh consistently after each movement without any need for manual refresh.
Can anyone else comment if they see updates or not?
Mine refresh as well, but sometimes with values, that are not correct. I do not know, if this is a problem of the device, of the openHAB Z-Wave binding or the Classic UI, iPhone App, because sometimes the values update but the icons not and vise-versa
In my rules I force a refresh and that seems to ensure that all get updated. I do this with a 1 minute delay after the action
if i use phisical switch in the wall no problem for the update.(in the dimmer channel)
if i use the dimmer channel to set position (e.g. 20%) there is the problem. after 1 second of running update position , not the real position but the position after 1 second. tomorrow i can make a video if you want.
no problem if i use with OPEN CLOSE STOP command in rolleshutter channel but i can’t use it on dimmer channel.
it’s so strange. do you have see my snapshot? i have only one rollershutter e two dimmer channel.
you have three rolleshutter channel, it’s so strange…
Hi i’ve take the last binding and now i have 3 rollershutter item, well done.
but the problem of the absolute position remain, i ve take a video if you want to see.
no problem with wall switch but with the rollershutter item only if i press stop the item is refresh the real position
Very nice - thank you for the extensive video.
It makes it very clear that after moving the shutter through openhab it does not refresh the position.
What I find interesting is that a “Stop” command does actually trigger a position refresh. So this could be a more suitable workaround than the “REFRESH” command.
I have defined four items of switch type to control my venetian blinds. One that triggers opening them and closing all of them at dusk and dawn and three to control the position to protect from sunlight. Following are some rules and the respective sitemap.
rule "Sonnenschutz Sued aktivieren"
when
Item Sonnenschutz_Sued received command ON
then
LIV_Jalousie_SR_Schalter1.sendCommand(75)
LIV_Jalousie_SL_Schalter1.sendCommand(75)
BED_Jalousie.sendCommand(75)
if ( tSonnenschutz1 !== null ) {
tSonnenschutz1.cancel
tSonnenschutz1 = null
}
tSonnenschutz1 = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(1)) [
LIV_Jalousie_SR_Schalter2.sendCommand(50)
LIV_Jalousie_SL_Schalter2.sendCommand(50)
BED_Jalousie_Lamellen.sendCommand(50)
]
if ( tRefresh !== null ) {
tRefresh.cancel
tRefresh = null
}
tRefresh = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(1)) [
LIV_Jalousie_SR_Schalter2.sendCommand("REFRESH")
LIV_Jalousie_SR_Schalter1.sendCommand("REFRESH")
LIV_Jalousie_SL_Schalter2.sendCommand("REFRESH")
LIV_Jalousie_SL_Schalter1.sendCommand("REFRESH")
BED_Jalousie_Lamellen.sendCommand("REFRESH")
BED_Jalousie.sendCommand("REFRESH")
]
end
This ensures, that the position is as desired and the status in Basic UI or HABpanel are correctly displayed. I am using the same logic for RS2 and RS3.
What I found, is that I have to wait the blinds to reach the desired position before I trigger the second action to control the position of the lamellas. If I send the commands one after the other I do NOT get the desired result.
What I also found is, that if I send a command UP or DOWN I do not get the desired result and correct position.
Note: I have reversed the % levels, so you might have to adjust. In my case 0 means fully OPEN and 100 means fully CLOSED
I hardly use the wall switches anymore and I hardly use the direct controls in Basic UI or HABpanel anymore, I just control with these few additional switches, that then trigger the correct action and positioning.
I had the same behavior in openHAB as well as homee, which I used before. This might be an issue with the firmware still. But in my previous post I have shown the solution, that works perfectly for me.
