Hi
I am trying to get a Roller Shutter 3 to work with homebridge, and in particular homebridge-openzwave, running on a Raspberry Pi and communicating using an Aeotec Gen 5 USB stick.
I am close, but not there yet.
If I send commands to the RS3 by calling openzwave directly from Node, it appears to work.
When I 'deploy' the blind, the openzwave log file records the command :
2020-07-04 19:04:55.213 Info, Node004, Value::Set - COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL - Level - 0 - 1 - 99
and the RS2 closes the first relay and opens it again a second or so later.
When I 'retract' the blind, the openzwave log file records the command :
2020-07-04 19:04:55.213 Info, Node004, Value::Set - COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL - Level - 0 - 1 - 0
and the RS2 closes the second relay and opens it again a second or so later.
That all seems good and has inspired me to continue banging my head against this brick wall!
But when I try to deploy the blind using the homebridge UI, the homebridge-openzwave plug-in sends a different command:
2020-07-07 12:33:49.190 Info, Node004, Value::Set - COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL - Level - 0 - 3 - 255
and the roller shutter appears to ignore it.
And then homebridge-openzwave sends another command shortly afterwards:
2020-07-07 12:33:49.511 Info, Node004, Value::Set - COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL - Level - 0 - 3 - 99
That looks like the correct value, but still the roller shutter ignores it (3 versus 1?).
I am hoping that someone who understands more can tell me if, as I suspect, homebridge-openzwave is sending the wrong commands.
Or should the commands work and there is a different issue?
I am not sure if it is relevant, but the RS3 is straight out of the box. It has not, for example, been calibrated.
All help gratefully received.
Thanks
Mike
