Indigo Domotics

I am using a plug in recently created for me for my Somfy blinds and drapes. I have created two action groups for night and day, ie at night the drapes, blackout blinds and sheers close. Sometimes the commands all work i.e. the drapes, blackouts and sheers all close. Other times the drapes may only work, other times, the drapes, and one of the blackout blinds and so on. If I keep pressing the button on the iPad eventually the commands will all be completed. Any thoughts on how I overcome this problem. It seems that there is a transmission problem.

Can you copy/paste what the Event Log shows in both the failure and success cases? That will help us troubleshoot the nature of the problem.

Matt,

Attached are some of the most recent logs. I have had successes but they have not appeared in the logs. The logs are all only partial as they are too large and I am receiving a reject message about the amount of characters.

Hi Nick -- any idea what is causing these errors?

I uploaded v0.1.4 to my Wiki pages: https://vulture.local/wiki/pages/14Q0A9/Autelis_Somfy_Shade_Control.html#

It should eliminate some of the errors. If you would run that, then try some of your actions in debug mode and we can clear up the rest. Thanks!

I posted yet another update on the Wiki page. v0.1.5 should deal with the decoding errors.
