got an issue and i would appreciate if you could help me.
Here is the deal:
I want to control my rollershutter. In detail when i turn a switch form OFF to ON i want it to move the rollershutter from open to half open. But i dont have any sensors that can give me information about the current position of the rollershutter. So my thought is, that i will control it by time. That means i will measure the time the time the rollershutter needs to move in the position i want. And thats my question. How can i do that in rule engine?
rule "Rolershutter"
when
Item Switch_1 changed from OFF to ON
then
Rollershutter.sendCommand(DOWN) //Rollershutter goes Down
Rollershutter.sendCommand(STOP) //Rollershutter should stop after a amount of time
end
You didn’t say anything about your HW. Depending on the type of actuator you’re using, it might provide the ability to drive to a certain percentage. My Fibaro FGRMs allow for this.
You are right and I’m sorry about that. But as far as I know my shutters dont have any tracker. Well I guess i will proof that one. Thanks for the inspiration.
