OK then. using the advice from the post above I think I have the blinds working.
The problem is that the Roller Blinds are auto-detected (correctly) as a Somfy Screen. Most likely because the logical set-up flow from within the Tahoma app implies that they are that kind of device.
Steps to get them working were as follows…
- Add the thing when it is auto-detected and sent to your in-box.
- Copy the thing’s Somfy Tahoma Device URL.
- Set up a new thing, as a Somfy Shutter and use the URL from step 2.
- Delete the old thing.
The response time is pretty slow, so I’m bummed the Connectivity Kit doesn’t support the local API, particularly as the Bridge seems to have a fairly spotty connection.
Bonus Tip: I also kept getting frequent…
OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR): Too many requests, try again later
…errors, so I changed the Refresh Time to 600 on the Bridge, which seemed to fix it.
Just as a reference, the commands being sent from the binding are…
DIDN’T WORK:
Sending POST to url: https://www.tahomalink.com/enduser-mobile-web/enduserAPI/exec/apply with data: {"label":"Bedroom Blind - down - openHAB","actions":[{"deviceURL":"ogp://2105-3869-5668/1044833","commands":[{"name":"down","parameters":[]}]}]}
DID WORK:
Sending POST to url: https://www.tahomalink.com/enduser-mobile-web/enduserAPI/exec/apply with data: {"label":"Bedroom Blind - close - openHAB","actions":[{"deviceURL":"ogp://2105-3869-5668/1044833","commands":[{"name":"close","parameters":[]}]}]}
…so it looks like the key difference is the open/close up/down command.
