There shouldn't be any reason for Zemismart Zigbee dongles to not work with HE...
It's difficult to identify the motor based on the picture only, please check on the seller web site details if there are any references to a model number, such as am24-zigbee for example?
I suppose without the dongle you can't control the motor from Hubitat, but only by using the remote that comes with the device. The remote uses a proprietary RF link to control the motor.
Am I missing something?
I did exactly as first post said to integrate with google home. Is there another step to actually add it to my home? I tried adding using google home app in HE but it just gets removed
Where is your device removed from? The list of shared devices in HE inbuilt Google Home integration app, or the device disappears from the Home app on your phone?
I add it in the google home app in HE. CLICK UPDATE and DONE. After a minute I go back into the app and it’s removed. Assuming because it’s not supported.
No. You have to create a virtual switch for each percentage. This isn't a limitation of Hubitat, this is a limitation of the Google API. The amazon echo integration is better and I believe allows percentage commands.
That's correct, but it is overcome in this driver by presenting the blinds as a dimmable 'light' to Google Home. I just tested it this morning, it was a new Zemismart blind, I just added it to HE Google Home app, and 30 seconds later checked its working on my Android test test phone.
I can freely set any % position from the phone and the blind is partially open or closed as commanded. When home I will try GH voice commands, but I am pretty sure that 'Hey Google, close the blinds by 20%' worked before. And I don't remember if I have made any other special settings..
When you have a chance, can you test it with your blinds/shades?
I remembered what was specific for GH - do not add the blinds to any actual room, otherwise, it will be opened or closed together when you say 'turn on/off the lights.
The first post instructions are to use Google Home Community, that is NOT the same as the hubitat Google Home App
I don't use Hubitat for GH integration anymore, but it worked fine for me as a curtain if you install the Google Home Community app following their instructions at https://github.com/mbudnek/google-home-hubitat-community, then configure the curtain as specified in the first post.
