homebridge-mysmartblinds

What is it?

homebridge-mysmartblinds is a minimalistic mysmartblinds management plugin for homebridge using python.

The features:

  • You can control your own mysmartblinds.
  • The control is not a simple binary open/close: it support percentages. You can open your blinds at 50% or 65% for instance.
  • Your blinds can still be otherwise operated by the onboard schedule, hub, or mysmartblinds app.

Who is it for?

Anyone who, just like me, doesn't know much about homebridge but still wants a straightforward way to communicate with your mysmartblinds (hopefully until they release native homekit compatibility. PLEASE!).

Enhancements I would love help with

  • Using noble to communicate directly between homebridge and the ble blinds, which would probably help with connection and timeout issues
  • Finding the ble code for battery status, and adding a homebridge characteristic to support reporting on battery level in homekit
  • Support for 0 to 200 down closed to up closed on the blinds, not just 0 to 100 down closed to open, to support tilting closed all the way up and down
