Hi,
i’m quite new to openHAB2 and I want to realize to control my roller shutters with SonOff Dual R2. After some studies, I managed to flash the Dual and I got them working via MQTT.
Actually I’m using a Dimmer Item. It is working flawlessly. I can open and close the roller shutter and I can set it to a position, wherever I want and the slider shows the correct position on all of my connected openHAB platforms.
But I now recognized, that there is a roller shutter item as well. But I don’t get it working. I can move up and down, but if I stop, the shutter stops for a short time and then it continuous to move.
My MQTT command topic is: cmnd/WZRollo/Shutterposition
I think, I have to add something!?
Hi,
yes, I’m using PaperUI in Openhabian2 (RasPI) and I’m using the graphical method to get a thing, a channel und an item.
If I add a channel and if I choose “Dimmer” as item, then all works fine: On the control screen I see my slider and the number, which are representing the actual position. And I can set the position by moving the blue point on the slider.
If I choose “Rollershutter” during this channel adding process, I’m getting a different control panel on the control site of Paper UI. It has an up- and a down-button and it has a stop-button. And here is my problem: if I hit the stop-button during the shutter is moving, it doesn’t stop.
My MQTT-Topics in the Channel are:
stat/WZRollo/SHUTTER1
cmnd/WZRollo/Shutterposition
These commands are working fine with a Dimmer, but they don’t with Rollershutter. I think, that my cmnd-string is not ok.
Sorry, these are my first steps with home automation…
Just take the time to read all the documentation as that will help everyone.
