Block blinds closing on window open

[z17u 0]

Hi,

 

I would like to prevent the blinds from closing when the window is open.

I tried to write QA, but the native blinds device app for roller shutter 4 just works better.

 

I consider using API to modify blinds device settings when the window is open.

 

Have any of you had simliar case and can share the solutiones you came up with?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

I dont understand you. If you have any device, sensor, that detects the window's state, just create a simple scene, or write a LUA code, that will take the state of windows as condition for opening blinds..

This doesnt need any manipulation with settings..

I guess you have some automated processes for blinds, like morning, or evening or according to some weather etc..

Just include another condition into trigger part..

Imagine someone presses close button and the blind hits the window frame.

That's why I want to built-in this condition in the shutter controls in yubii app.

Reliable Window/Blind Interlocking
  For fail-safe operation in your LUA code:

 

-- Full retraction when windows open
if (fibaro.getValue(windowID, "value")) and (tonumber(fibaro.getValue(blindID, "value")) < 95 then  
   fibaro.call(blindID, "setValue", 100) -- 100% open
   fibaro.debug("USSB_System", "Blinds retracted: Window ajar") 
end

 

Why US Shutters & Blinds’ Systems Excel:

       Storm Mode – Auto-retracts at >35km/h winds (Fibaro-compatible)

       Battery Sipping – Our composite blades need 30% less motor torque

       Pre-Wired Channels – Dedicated conduit for contact sensors

Pro Tip: Add :debounce(10) to window sensors to prevent draft false triggers.

Old thread I know, but in case it is useful, what I do: 

When closing the blind is initiated, i check whether the window is open, and if so I close it as well. This is achieved using a button on a Remotec scene controller device, that starts a block scene.

Your automation setup is smart—closing the window automatically when triggering the blind via a scene controller prevents drafts or security risks. Using Block Scene logic ensures seamless execution. Just verify sensor reliability (e.g., window contact sensors) to avoid false triggers. Integrations like this boost home efficiency
