Hi Daniel,

that’s a common problem, but the thread [Rollershutter with Homematic IP (HmIP) HmIPW-DRBL4 - #8 by Cernon](https://community.openhab.org/t/rollershutter-with-homematic-ip-hmip-hmipw-drbl4/85003/8) (german and external version from the same user [here](https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57982)) gives you a workaround.  
I’m very glad that @shuo figured that out for us. 🤗

tl;dr: If you want to change the blades angle (just the angle, not the height), it will be triggered only if you send a 2nd command for changing the shutter height straight behind, even if the shutter height shall stay the same. Sounds weird, but that’s how it works. 🤓

I dit it like this with my items:

```
Rollershutter Wintergarten_Jalousie_Tuer_Level2 <rollershutter> (gLamellen) ["Rollershutter"] {channel="homematic:HmIP-BBL:<your individual value here>:4#LEVEL_2"}
Switch Wintergarten_Jalousie_Tuer_Stop {channel="homematic:HmIP-BBL:<your individual value here>:4#STOP"}

```

Here are the 2 commands I’m speaking about taken from my rules, one after another:

```csv
                Wintergarten_Jalousie_Tuer_Level2.sendCommand(50)
                Wintergarten_Jalousie_Tuer_Stop.sendCommand(ON)

```

As you can see, I’m using a `STOP` command for my BBLs and not the `101`% value as suggested in the link above, but there is no special reason I did it like this. Just do what fits you best.

The value `50` is just an example and will turn your blades horizontally.

For my complete rule you may want to take a look at [Control HmIP rollershutter slats / blades using groups in rules](https://community.openhab.org/t/control-hmip-rollershutter-slates-blinds-using-groups-in-rules/97397).
