Affordable Electric Curtain Tracks - Z-wave integration

Someone suggested as a work around setting the poll value to 0 (never).

Have you tried this yet?

yeah well then i can use a Broadlink system for 10% of the price too :stuck_out_tongue:
without polling its impossible to know if the status has been changed by another device (remote)

As you can use the rfxtrx 433 with Dooya RF as well.

True!

Has anyone contacted support or Fibaro about this issue? Will keep an eye out on the net for any solutions.

I’ve just disabled the polling on my Fibaro Blind Control module. Changing the value from 60 to 0 and then saving / reloading Vera.

Then using either the Vera web UI (UI5) or the Authomation HD app on my tablet or the physical wall switch for controlling the curtains.

It doesn’t seem to matter which of these three methods of controlling the curtains I use, the current percentage status is correctly displayed.

For example if I change the curtains to 80% using the Vera web UI, then the Authomation HD app then shows it as 80%.

Or if I use the Authomation HD app to change the curtains to 70%, then the Vera web UI shows 70%

And if I use the wall switch to move the curtains to another position, then both the Vera web UI and the Authomation HD app show the correct percentage of that new position.

So it seems to work OK, if you disable the polling as far as I can see.

looks like the shutter 2 supports “immideate reporting”

well in that case polling is not really required …
i will try that as well

Hi

I’ve seen mention of the Dooya DT52E and DT52S in a few places, I’m hoping someone has the specs/data I’m looking for.
I have a DT52E motor unit and curtain track, I’ve been asked to produce an IoT demo using it, but I can’t find a spec for the RJ15 4 wire interface. Is it a serial interface or just simple contacts for open/close?

Failing that - anyone found a way to use its Zigbee?

Rebecca

The RJ is a dry contact input

Just wanted to thank cw-kid for posting his tutorial/experience.

I ended up ordering from Friend group off Aliexpress 4 sets each of motorized curtain rails and blackout blinds, and the folks there were extremely helpful. Unfortunately, I ended up not using the curtain rails (an interior design decision, as we decided not to have curtains anymore). Got the blinds in one piece, 3-4m in length, so had to ship them by sea. Luckily, I’m just in Asia so didn’t take too long.

Connected these to manual switches, then paired them with TKB Z-wave controllers - http://www.tkbhome.com/?cn-p-d-255.html (essentially the equivalent of Fibaro, but priced lower) that turned out alright. Using a Vera Edge to control everything, including the Echo integration, so now have voice activated blinds. Happy camper!

Ok I keep seeing the DT52S is a good pairing with a wall switch / Fibaro… but what about the DT82TV, DT82TN or DT82TS, most notably the DT82TV? It seems to include a 12V transformer, has RF ability and supports an external heavy current switch (hence should be possible to link to Fibaro?).

I read somewhere that the 12V motors are noisy, based on experience of Somfy motors, but noone has said anything about the Dooya motors being noisy or quiet. The Aliexpress marketing states they are quiet.

It seems the Dooya DT82TV supports an external heavy current switch (230V) AND light-touch start (pull curtains to have them open / close to their fullest)?

Winner all round, then?
Cheers.

According to our good friend Scott from The Friend Group, the DT82TV DOES have soft-start (pull curtain to get the motor going). It also has 5 wires (Blue, black, white, brown, green). Does this motor do it all?!

"Yes, it is with a remote controller. and the motor has soft-start (pull curtain and motor will start)"

“Yes, the motor can be controlled by livolo switch, but pls use switch for motor, not for light.
The motor can also be controlled by Fibaro / Z-wave controller.”

Per Scott,

DT82TN can be contolled by remote controller, DT82TS is controlled by your wired wall switch and wired smarthome controller DT82TV can be controlled by our remote controller, and your wired wall switch and wired smarthome controller. DT82TS has no light-touch start function, when you pull the curtain, motor will sun to open or close curtain, 82TN and 82TV has this function.

It does appear the DT82TV does it all.

I ordered one. Will be connecting it to a Aeon Labs DSC14104 (US frequencies) and a Leviton momentary switch.

How do you power the DT82TV? Do you have to hardwire it?

Yes, the DT82TV takes A/C power. Dooya site has a DT82LE too, that has a lithium ion battery.

I got my track and motor.

I have it all wired and hooked up, so currently it can be operated by a momentary switch (through the Aeon Labs DSC14104), via the included 433mhz remote, as well as the curtain tug soft-start. Haven’t found where I stashed my Vera 3 yet, but I imagine since I can operate it through the momentary switch, the Z-Wave portion shouldn’t be a problem.

Fairly quiet. Unscientific sound meter app on phone puts it about 35dBa for the curtains operating.

Hello,

Has anyone got a DT82TV working with a Fibaro FGR222? When I try and calibrate the system I get a bit of movement and the LED on the Fibaro flashes red.

Anybody got an idea what the issue might be?

Thanks,

Marcus

Hi,

This is a kickstarter that is about to go to market [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/41829059/slide-make-your-existing-curtains-smart]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/41829059/slide-make-your-existing-curtains-smart[/url]. Lowest cost solution I have seen thus far and works on existing rail.

Cheers Rene

How exactly do you wire the DT82TV, it has 5 wire, on Fibaro roller Shutter 2? I can’t calibrate it.

I can't calibrate it.

Look at the post directly above yours.

I have to calibrate 34 motors DT82TV with Fibaroo Roller Shutter 2 and I use Fibaro Home Center2. When I try and calibrate the system I get a bit of movement and that’s it, I think that must be a way to calibrate it without using light.
