How to control shades

Hi,

Running still on I6, therefore no HomeBridge plugin.
After having creating scenes in Home iOS App I can execute actions directly using Siri.
I have at home some shades that I would like to control; as said, I can do it via predefined actions, but if I want to set that shades to a % that does not have any corresponding actions, which command shall I give? The "dim" command? (of course translated into Italian, which is hard to find out) :D

Yes, it's pretty much like the dim command:

"Siri, open curtains to 50%".

What is not clear to me is why the Fibaro Roller Shutter are not seen by HomeBridge...or maybe I did something wrong? They are not of course inside the excludedIds

Did you add them in the "treatAsWindowCoveringIds" in your config.json?

I have config.json with "excludeIds" and "treatAsWindowCoveringIds" but the shades devices do not appear even in Homebride output, but for example the wall plug yes.
I thought I also had to include those ID using "includeIds" but the wall plugs are not, althought they are shown in HomeBridge/HomeKit...strange

Yes, because I see them in Indigo Touch.

What type of device are the shades? Homebridge only recognized a limited set of native Indigo devices. You may need to create a virtual device in Indigo that homebridge can recognize.

Also, along those lines, if you are including EVERYTHING in your HB config then you may have exceeded the 100 device limit and aren't seeing your shades because of that.

They are Fibaro Roller Shutter.
No, I am definitely below the 100 devices limit...

I will try with the Virtual Device, thanks.

Yes, FGRM222.
Does it work with Virtual Device or without?

Works perfectly fine without a virtual device.

Perhaps try deleting the device in indigo and create a new one?

Or blow away Homebridge in your HomeKit app and start it again.
