WindowCovering open/closed value
Closed this issue · 7 comments
According to config.complex.json the WindowCovering supports open/closed values. However If I create a device with open value 0 the HomeApps states it's closed. If I use the type GaragedDoorOpeners it does work.
{
"type": "WindowCovering",
"name": "Rolluiken",
"ref": 553,
"openValue": 0,
"closedValue": 100
},
I forgot that you told me in the previous bug that 0 can still never be "On". This is probably the same with windows covering right?
Not sure. The code is different for different devices. I'll try and look this weekend.
Can you try one thing - Use "BinaryWindowCovering" instead of "WindowCovering" and see if that works correctly.
Thanks,
Yes the "BinaryWindowCovering" does work correctly
However if the blinds are 70% closed the binary switch still says 100% Open. Only 100% closed (in my KNX app) makes Apple Home say 100% open.
What's happening then is that there is code that, if you just specify "WindowsCovering" it tries to determine if the window is a "variable" covering - which allows true 0 - 100% positioning, or a "Binary" type which only supports open/closed.
This detection usually works, but not always. Can you post an image of the "Status Graphics" page for this device (particularly, the controls section). Maybe I can figure out why it didn't work right for you and I'll improve the detection.
Thank you again for your time.

Where you able to look into this?
No, sorry. As a practical matter, I'm so busy with work and other items, that I just don't see me spending time on this any time soon.
