ah, that was not immediately clear to me, maybe something to add to the documentation.
As explained, I have two items per roller shutter, one for the blinds control channel, another one for the lamella control channel. Both are part of a group for that roller shutter.
Initially, I had WindowsCovering as metadata on the group, I have now deleted that.
I added WindowsCovering, WindowsCovering.CurrentPosition, WindowsCovering.TargetPosition, WindowsCovering.PositionState and WindowsCovering.HoldPosition to the blinds channel item.
And I added once again WindowsCovering, plus WindowsCovering.CurrentHorizontalTiltAngle and WindowsCovering.TargetHorizonalTiltAngle to the lamella channel item.
This results in two controls in Homekit, one for the blinds and one for the lamella, and both work just fine. So I am almost there.
My hope was I could have one Homekit control, that would then be able to control both the blinds plus the lamella, but it seems this is not possible?
it looks like something is wrong group configuration.
with the config above i get one control - for blinds and lamella. but i have not tried to create it with UI
I was having the same problem of not seeing the QR code.
I have updated the Homekit addon to the latest snapshot (homekit-3.1.0-20210411.032508-26.jar), but now the HomeKit addon does not show up in the settings page anymore, or in the Misc page.
Using ‘list | grep -i homekit’, it shows that the latest snapshot is installed.
I tried both updating after installing in the UI first, and I tried installing it directly.
I also tried restarting OpenHab, and restarting Chrome.
how you have installed the addon? using karaf or donwloading to addon folder?
try with update 284 https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/libs-snapshot-local/org/openhab/addons/bundles/org.openhab.io.homekit/3.1.0-SNAPSHOT/org.openhab.io.homekit-3.1.0-20210412.032532-27.jar
I got a bit of a scare when all Things were UNINITIALIZED for about 2 mins and all of the Other Services tabs were missing for about 3 mins. But all Things are online now and I can see the QR code in the HomeKit page.
Thank you!
My Apple Home app doesn’t seem to be able to find accessory.
I am using the IP of my Pi in the Network Interface field of the HomeKit settings. Is this right?
I am doing all of this over VPN. Could that cause a problem?
