- I’m a noob, so please excuse my ignorance. I have been successful in getting Somfy MyLink installed and am able to control blinds in Paper UI control. I Initially used Paper UI to configure and link items but had difficulty understanding how to add HomeKit metadata tags to these items.
I tried using Rest API but didn’t understand the use of namespace and how to format the metadata tag. An example of this would be so helpful.
I created a Somfy.items file and was able to get the blinds displayed in HomeKit. The state tracks the state as shown in Paper UI Control, but clicking on the blinds in Homekit only updates the open state, but the blinds do not move.
My .items file contains the following line
Rollershutter SomfyShadeFamilyRoom_Control “FOOO” {homekit=“WindowCovering”}
Logs show the HomeKit action
2020-11-22 23:50:03.368 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item ‘SomfyShadeFamilyRoom_Control’ received command 0
2020-11-22 23:50:03.376 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - SomfyShadeFamilyRoom_Control changed from 100 to 0
2020-11-22 23:50:04.955 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item ‘SomfyShadeFamilyRoom_Control’ received command 100
2020-11-22 23:50:04.959 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - SomfyShadeFamilyRoom_Control changed from 0 to 100
Please help with a working example or point me in the right direction. As I stated I’m a noob to openHAB.
