Hi all

great that support for this device has now been added. I have recently purchased one of these trial and added it to Hubitat with the intent to then expose it to Homekit.

Problem is it doesnt seem to respond the way I am expecting. Here is what I see in Hubitat. The shde is currently closed, but it thinks its open, and no matter what command I send it doesnt change. In fact the only command that seems to work is close, if its already open

I expect its something quite basic so would appreciate some guidance

cheers

Are you using a Beta build? There is no system/official E1 Shade driver yet, only community drivers. Which driver are you using?

Is it possible you have mistaken the curtain driver recently added?

It’s an inbuilt driver released in one of the later 2.3.9 builds

Are the commands reversed?

No, they dont appear to be, and if they were then I would expect that the commands would still work, albeit in reverse. When its open, pressing close will close it. When its closed, nothing works and the status does not update

Thanks for confirming that its the right driver, I had a similar thought to Jason12 that it was meant for the curtain device

We released the curtain driver, which I’m seeing doesn’t work with a shade,

thanks for confirming Mike, do you know if a drive for the shade is on the roadmap?

Unfortunately with the Aqara stuff I really need a sample to write a driver.
