Thanks for the reply @tom.pionke ,
I was beginning to think I was the only Smartwings "potential' user of the matter motors.
I saw your other Hubitat Community thread where you are getting help from others about connecting your matter shades using a workaround driver with separate child devices for dual control. I read that you are currently only using Alexa for routines since the Alexa → Hubitat seems to be missing currently.
A Few Questions:
- Can you re-confirm that you purchased the SmartWings Motorized Blackout Levitate Cellular Shades Nowa which has two motors? Reason why I ask is that Smartwings support stated that not all their brands have the same matter motors with different firmware. This 'Levitate' brand of dual motor cellular shades with their matter motor is very new (1-2 weeks) according to Smartwings technical support staff . They recommended that I wait a few more months till another matter firmware version is released for better integration with Hubitat.
- After my Smartwings purchase, which I am waiting a month or so to see what feedback I get from you, others or Hubitat Support, I guess I will have to either:
- Use my Apple iPhone 13 with matter support in iOS 16 or later to scan the Smartwings matter setup code on each motor and iOS will return a pairing code and provision the accessory onto Wi-Fi or Thread. I can then proceed to set up its administrator fabric on the accessory via IP using the pairing code.
- Purchase a newer Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen, 2023 release) just to pair this to Hubitat as a Thread border router following these steps from Amazon
Is this they general steps you performed and did you use your iPhone for provisioning or direct with Amazon Echo?
Again thank you for your knowledge and experience, I am watching your separate thread as well.
