Hi,
Just trying to setup your plugin but it appears to be ok in the log under hoops but it won't control the blinds.
here is my script below.
I was wondering if the device id was incorrect as its looking a different format to what you show but what I have put in is what I see under controllers in the app.
many thanks,
Dave.

"platform": "NEOShades",
"name": "NEOShades",
"host": "192.168.7.129",
"controllerID": "N8Yq-N7AW_aUgPx8zIJmyw",
"shades": [
    {
        "name": "Landing",
        "code": "068.058-01"
    },
    {
        "name": "Hall",
        "code": "081.174.01"
    }
]

}

@d2too I had the same problem and found the solution...

In the app is a motor code, in my case it was K2, add this to your config like so...

{
    "platform": "NEOShades",
    "name": "NEOShades",
    "host": "192.168.0.103",
    "controllerID": "XXXXXXXXXX",
    "shades": [
        {
            "name": "Right",
            "code": "216.020-02",
            "motorType": "k2"
        },
        {
            "name": "Centre",
            "code": "216.020-03",
            "motorType": "k2"
        },
        {
            "name": "Left",
            "code": "216.020-04",
            "motorType": "k2"
        }
    ]
}

I was just responding when the prior post was made.

Use the Config-UI-X interface and select the motor type.

The newest controllers work with different motor types and you have to select the correct one from the config-ui-x interface.

Also, note the code format. For your "Hall" shade, the format is different from your Landing shade.

@jvmahon That is actually how I found it, I am using Hoobs. Oddly though I don't get the dropdown, I did some updates which in turn showed the dropdown though it is no longer visible so I just added manually to the config which seems to have worked fine now.

Either way all good :)
