This is a plugin for Homebridge. It allows you to control your Hunter Douglas PowerView roller blinds server using Siri and the Home app.
NOTE: I only have the Gen 1 Powerview hub with the roller shades to test with. I can't guarantee this will work with any other shades and it is very difficult to update the code to work with hardware I do not have. I am open to anybody willing to contribute code.
- Install Homebridge (if not already installed).
- Install this plugin copying it to the node_modules folder (manual step until I get it setup in npm).
Alternatively run the following command:
npm install -g GvnCampbell/homebridge-powerview - Update your confiugration file. See below for a sample.

ip_address |
required, the ip address of the PowerView hub |
debug |
optional, default is 'false', if set to true will add extra logging in the output |
fullmotiontime |
optional, default is 30000, an estimate as to the length of time it takes to fully open/close the blinds in milliseconds |
fullmotiontimepadding |
optional, default is 2000, an estimate to the amount of time it takes the blinds to react in milliseconds |
defaultcurrentposition |
optional, default is 50, sometimes the hub doesn't know where the blinds are, in this case we will set it to a default setting |
querytimeout |
optional, default is 10000, amount of time to wait when querying the hub as it sometimes does not like to respond |
