Hm... Is there any trick to getting this to show up in Google Home/Assistant without adding it to a Groups and Scenes device? (I can close them using Groups and Scenes, but not open, which makes no sense. Setting the "Office Shade" to 15% sets the Office Light to 15% for some reason.)
Here's the log when I try to add the shade directly to Google Home: app:235 2022-12-01 05:21:25.106 PM warn The following devices are not supported by Google Home and will be removed from your device list:[Office Shade] app:235 2022-12-01 05:21:08.066 PM info updated...
It looks like Google Home can handle a blinds device and obviously a switch/dimmer, but it doesn't like it when I add the device to the Google Home app in Hubitat.
If Groups and Scenes is the way to do it for now, so be it. I may just have to rename the device or something. I'm just kinda curious how others are doing shades in Google Home.
Hi, Trying to get my SmartWings blinds working with Hubitat and this driver. I installed the driver and then paired my blind. It appears in devices with Type of "SmartWings Motor Shades" but none commands result in any movement of the shade. I am new to Hubitat so maybe I am missing something basic. Any help would be appreciated.
Have been following along with this thread for a bit now - have a bunch of Swartwings shades that I've gotten successfully linked to Pico Switches and to HomeKit via the beta integration, but still cannot get them to show in Google Home.
Tried creating a group with just the shades, no dice. What are you all doing specifically to get them to show in Google?
I've added mine to a Groups and Scenes group as dimmers called "Living Room Shades". Then I can say, "Hey Google, set the Living Room Shades at 25%." I have to use the percentage, though. Zero percent is open and 100% is closed. When my wife tries it, it also sets the living room lamp, but I think that's some Google weirdness setting everything "living room" the same.
Thanks for the side driver. Seems to work well but when I add it to HomeKit thru the integration the blind works in reverse. Do you know of any solution for that? Thanks in advance.
Hey @Equis, did the same, and I can see the Group'ed light when I add Hubitat to Google Home, but it never shows up in my list of lights and devices. Just seems to ignore them. Is there a particular way of setting your groups and scenes up that I might be missing?
I don't control them as a group, though. My open/close rule uses all three devices instead of just the group. Now that they're set up, I don't think I've ever manually controlled them.
I have noticed that my shades take 7 seconds to respond to open and close commands. They did this under the generic zigbee driver as well. Is this normal? Thanks.
Shameless plug, you should use my referral link and let me know how it goes. We might be able to tweak the driver and debug a bit to see what might be delaying it.
ok, I ordered the rest of the shades and I tried the link - hopefully you get credit. I will wait to install these to see what the response time is like and whether it is all shades or just the one I installed so far. Thanks.
FYI - I needed two shades that went over their maximum width of 97 7/8". I chatted with them and they gave me a link to add an oversize charge to the order and then specify the size I needed in the comments. They said it was for each shade but they waived the second fee so only charged me once. Just in case anyone has wide windows.
