iBlinds SmartThings Device Handler

This is a device driver for iBlinds. iBlinds is an intelligent Z-Wave blind motor that installs out of sight in existing Venetian (2" and 2 1/2" slatted-style) blind headrails. Use iblinds to tilt the slats open, closed or use the value slider for precise positioning of the slat tilt angle

Installation

  1. First pair your device with the hub (see the SmartThings manual for pairing instructions)
  2. Open iblinds.groovy, select raw and it will open a new window with the code, select all (Ctrl+A) and copy the code (Ctrl+C)
  3. Login to your SmartThings IDE at https://graph.api.smartthings.com (create a login if you don't have one AND don't forget to opt-in for the developer account). To verify that you're logged into the correct location, after logging into the above link, click on "My Locations" and then click on the name of the location where you want to install the SmartApp. Note: You may be asked to log into your account again when you click on your location, if so login again.
