Homekit and adjustable Blinds - Problem

[Jonas88 (Jonas)]

Hello!

i have adjustable blinds on many windows and integrated them to homekit via knx.
It works great but i have one issue:

when i just press the button to go up/down and even when i set the absolute position (max up/down) the angle of the blinds will stay the same causing the blind to go down a little bit after reaching the upper endposition.
That is kind of annoying.

Is there a way to bypass that with the configuration or do i have to use a rule for each single bilnd?

Thank you!

Here are my configuration files:

KNX.things:

Type rollershutter                  :   EG_Essbereich_Jalousie_Festverglasung_Position         [   upDown="3/1/3", stopMove="3/2/3", position="3/3/3+<3/5/3" ]
Type dimmer                         :   EG_Essbereich_Jalousie_Festverglasung_Winkel           [   increaseDecrease="3/2/3",  position="5.001:3/4/3+<3/6/3" ]

no one?
ok i’ll try a rule. Is there a way to get this done easily without having to script a rule for every blind?
Like a group and determine the triggering item?
i can imagine there will be some issues when driving blinds simultaneously and having only one rule …

thanks

Design Pattern: Working with Groups in Rules

Please see Design Pattern: What is a Design Pattern and How Do I Use Them for how to read and use DPs. Problem Statement Often one finds a number of Rules that are very similar and that all work on similar Items resulting in a lot of duplicated code. One way to solve this problem is through the use of Groups. Concept [image] This DP is not a standard DP in that it provides a single concrete template to follow to solve a specific problem.

Hello

it seems i goolged my way to victory.
Here’s what i came up with:

import org.openhab.core.model.script.ScriptServiceUtil

rule "Lamelle 0% wenn Position 0 %"

when
    Member of gJalousieposition received command
then
    if (receivedCommand == 0)
        {
        val Winkel = ScriptServiceUtil.getItemRegistry?.getItem(triggeringItem.name.substring(0, triggeringItem.name.lastIndexOf('_'))+"_Winkel")
        Winkel.sendCommand(0)
        }
end

Items look like that:

Group            EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster                 "Fenster"                                                                                                {alexa="Endpoint.InteriorBlind", homekit = "WindowCovering"}
Rollershutter    EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster_Position        "Jalousie Arbeitszimmer Fenster Position"         <blinds>    (EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster, gJalousieposition)        {alexa="RangeController.rangeValue" [friendlyNames="@Setting.Opening", supportedRange="0:100:10", unitOfMeasure="Percent", actionMappings="Close=0,Open=100,Lower=(-10),Raise=(+10)", stateMappings="Closed=0,Open=1:100"], homekit = "WindowCovering, WindowCovering.CurrentPosition, WindowCovering.TargetPosition, WindowCovering.PositionState", channel="knx:device:bridge:knx_device:EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster_Position"}
Dimmer           EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster_Winkel          "Jalousie Arbeitszimmer Fenster Winkel"           <blinds>    (EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster)        {alexa="RangeController.rangeValue" [friendlyNames="Lamellen", supportedRange="0:100:10", unitOfMeasure="Percent"], homekit = "WindowCovering.CurrentHorizontalTiltAngle, WindowCovering.TargetHorizontalTiltAngle", channel="knx:device:bridge:knx_device:EG_Arbeitszimmer_Jalousie_Fenster_Winkel"}

Hi all,
I am new in the openHAB commnuity and did my first steps with Homekit / KNX integration. So far it works fine, but I am facing similar problems with adjustable blinds.
I have created a group with separate items for angle and position like shown above. In “openHAB items” it is shown correct in one group, but on the apple device only one slider is shown.
Does anybody have an idea? Or is additional information needed?
Regards Nils
