Somfy/RTS control

[FlyingDiver]

When you use the remote that came with the blinds, does the RFPLayer detect that? Turn on Verbose debugging and use the remote and see if anything is detected.

If not, then you'll have to use the Java app to capture the commands and assign them to Parrot commands.

Yep it does pick up the button presses. How do I interpret these to get commands set up in the Indigo plugin?

That was a down/off command? Can you capture an up command as well? And any other commands your remote can do? I'll add them to the next release of the plugin.

Edited the post shortly after posting.
It has a down and an up command in there now for the Somfy RTS.
I’ll see if I can capture the MY button (favourite position).
It’s a 3 button remote so that’s essentially all there is to it

Hi

Just want to ask if you plan to update so it can be used with roller shutters ?

[norcoscia]

What type of rollers do you have - if somfy there is a plug in or you can control with a script if you have their bridge.

I expect it can now, at least using Parrot capture and transmit. For more native control I need to see what a control transmission looks like. If the unit detects the control message and logs it then I can make a native device for it.

It is Somfy what plugin. I have rfplayer plugin.

The Parrot function is not working with somfy i have used maybe 20 hours try to make it work no luck. And the support from rfplayer Them self is very very bad they have never repliet on any of My questions. I Will be happy to supply all data needed for make it work.

[FlyingDiver]

Somehow I totally missed that post from March with the Somfy device info. Can you capture that again and this time post it here with CODE tags. The other post is missing most of the JSON punctuation, which makes it harder to decipher. Or zip up the log and post it to a new GitHub issue: https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-RFPlayer/issues

[norcoscia]

It is Somfy what plugin. I have rfplayer plugin.

The PlugIn is called Somfy Manager (it is in beta but works great). It was written by user howartp. It will require the Somfy Mylink bridge to work. The bridge handles the translation from IP to Somfy RF. If you want any more info just let me know... happy to help.

Sorry everyone - looks like I dropped the ball on this one. I'll start investigating this tomorrow.

[pbaperez]

I ended up using the Somfy WT series with an insteon micro on/fff control module.

You do sacrifice the ability to pasuse the sun screen.

It's either all the way up or down to your set limit. The sun hits the same spot so it works great for me.
