The card is a Ethernet relay card. Where to buy GCE IPX800v3 - [url=http://​http://www.gce-electronics.com/fr/57-carte-8-relais-ethernet-ip-ipx800-v3.html]​http://www.gce-electronics.com/fr/57-carte-8-relais-ethernet-ip-ipx800-v3.html[/url]

It has :

8 digital inputs
8 relays
4 analog inputs (0-3.3V)
128 timers... 

With extensions, you can have until:

32 digital inputs
32 relays 

IPX800v3 can control a roller shutter with 2 relays.

1 relay ON/OFF
1 relay UP/DOWN 

but it’s not possible to command roller shutter to 30% for example.

The plugin can do it for you.

For my plugin, I use M2M (machine to machine - TCP socket)

Requirements

You must have:

Vera (3 or lite)
IPX800v3
at least a shutter connected to your IPX800v3 

Limitations

UI5 only - Not tested on UI4
Works only with GCE IPX800v3 with firmware over 3.05.00 

Plugin installation

Upload attached files
Restart LUUP engine
Create device: "Apps > Develop Apps > Create device" Fill in these fields:
    "Description": a name for the device
    "Upnp Device Filename": "D_WindowCovering1ipx.xml"
    "Upnp Implementation Filename": "I_WindowCovering1ipx.xml" 
Restart LUUP engine
New device has been created and now, you have to configure it. 

Plugin Configuration

Go to the tab "Control"
Define the cycletime of your roller shutter. Cycletime is the time in seconds the shutter moves the down position to the up position. (0% to 100%)
Define GCE IPX800v3 IP adress
Define GCE IPX800v3 Port M2M (machine to machine) (default 9870)
Define the ON/OFF relay number (1 to 32)
Define the UP/DOWN relay number (1 to 32)
Restart LUUP engine 

It’s done.

Now, assuming that you have a push button connected to your IPX (which is not necessarily required for the plugin but it is more convenient for local orders), you must configure your IPX it sends a command the Vera whenever you press the PB.

To do this, go here: ​http://<IP_IPX>/protect/settings/push1.htm Select the entry for your BP wired (for example 5)

Then enter in the server field the IP of your VERA. Port: 3480 Enable push ticked then SAVE In Push1:

/data_request?id=lu_action&DeviceNum=&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:WindowCoveringipx1&action=BP_IPX

replace the ID number of the module created earlier in the Vera. (wrench / Advanced / ID field)

For initializing the plugin, make an OPEN or CLOSED command and wait 2 cycletimes. Now, you can use your roller shutter like a Fibaro FGR221 :slight_smile:

Any suggestions on good rollers? There seems to be a lot of options and maybe someone with experience can recommend some that are compatible?

one question that may be obvious?
Does the plugin work with simplier IPX800 contacts like dry ones?
Thanks

Hello Fatal or other user

Have you managed to setup the plugin under 1.5622 ?
the device created is not appearing as windows cover …but instead simple device without on/off or slider ’

Thank you for your support

Is this relay card suitable for somfy rts motors, with their remotes soldered to the relay card?
