[New Binding] AM43 Blind Drive Motor Binding

Add-ons Bindings
58

Hi everyone , I have bought the AM43 blind engine and on May 1 I already asked some support that was rapidly answered, for which I was very greatful :slightly_smiling_face:

Based on the response I decided to give it a go with the RaspberyPi4, but I think I’ve taken on too much for me to chew.

  1. I’ve installed OpenHabian according to the Raspberry Pi (Prepackaged SD Card Image).
  2. Went through the Quickstart guide and stuff and have everything running, including the Paper UI
  3. From there I added the Bluetooth binding
  4. Then I try to search for devices, but it finds nothing automatically
  5. Therefore I SSH into my openhabian and used hcitool -i hci0 lescan to find my AM43’s MAC (02:FD:11:CD:A6:6A)
  6. I created a new AM43 thing and added that address
  7. PaperUI shows me that this Thing now needs a Bridge, and this is where it goes over my head

Now I am not entirely sure what to do. I would like to use the built in Bluetooth adapter of the Raspbery 4. If I understood correctly you need to add the BlueZ Adapter, so I tried to do that manually. I retrieved the MAC from the sudo bluetoothctl command, or the bluetoothctl menu, and it states the following details on the controller:
Controller DC:A6:32:BD:1A:89
Name: openhab
Alias: openhab
Class: 0x000000
Powered: yes
Discoverable: yes
Pairable: yes
UUID: Generic Attribute Profile (00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)

Modalias: usb:v1D6Bp0246d0532
Discovering: no

I tried adding DC:A6:32:BD:1A:89 as the address of the BlueZ adapter that I try to add manually. When I press the complete button I get the following error in the log:

I’ve tried to go through all sorts of posts, but I can’t figure out how to continue from here and be able to operate my blinds through OpenHab
