Some updates to Plugin by GlennNZ
Add blindState to BlindsT1234 device - Open/Closed/or Partial
Update lastcommand and lastUpdate to include both remote commands, but also Sent commands Below for Subtype=3 Motorlux Blinds ONLY:
- Add warning message for Blinds subtype=3 may not receive unitcode and will need to be entered for control manually
- Because all unitcodes are sent as 1, any same physical remote devices with different unitcodes/channels will be updated together incorrectly)
- Ideally in this scenario should use a different physical remote for groups of blinds wish to control/be correctly updated in Indigo
Add action Groups Open/Close/Stop/Program/Limit for all BlindsT1234 devices (obviously all may not work correctly on all devices - but option exists)
