Google Home Blinds, open Blinds

I am trying to control my blinds with google home and iBlinds Z wave blinds. I have added them via the Google Home build in app, and the blinds show up. My issue is that the Open command opens the blinds 100%, instead of 50%. But the device has a Open button which works correctly (50%). Is there anyway to tell google home to open the blinds using the open command, and not 100%? Thanks

This is the same for Alexa. If you say Open blind it will open to 100%. If you say "blind 50%", it will open to 50%. If you say "blind on" it will open to whatever you have the level set at in HE (off will close to 0). I have created routines for "open blind" which will open the blind to the correct open position to help keep it more intuitive for others. Well actually for the only user that matters, my wife :slight_smile:

I didn't even think about a routine, I created a couple of open blinds routines which set the blinds at 50%. Worked great, thanks!
