Testing motor blinds with RFXCOM

Hi,

I’m currently testing some rollertrol blinds motors. I have successfully installed them with the RF remote and have managed to install the plug in with a Vera lite.

After looking around the forum I haven’t found an answer regarding partial increments from the UI and if possible from the authomation app.

My understanding is that if you set the top and bottom limit from the motor you can probably send a percentage for the desired amount opened.

I also have some doubts about making several joint motors move uniformly together when an all open/close command is set. The actual movement is not that out of sync but still it would be nice to make it better.

I would appreciate any help my fellow forum members can give me.

Regards
Gio

Sorry for the late reply, but typically with motors employing an embedded radio circuit there is no direct way to use percentages, the slider, or get granular movements. You might be able to use the shade runtime (timing it yourself as you operate it, probably averaging the up time with the down time) and some Luup code to have the shades run in increments. Due to the radio control and possible latency in RF and the motor circuits it would be difficult to get very accurate intermediate stops or any alignment between shades. However, you might be able to tweak timings to get them pretty close.

Good luck.
