So there was a thread that was closed last Septemperish (2022) about the Sunsa Wand.
In the thread it was disclosed by Sunsa that they were working on a local API that could be used with HE. I have looked and googled my heart out, but I can't find anything that says there is now an API that can keep all of the control local for the Sunsa wand.
Is there any update? I bought one wand on speculation that it would become possible to have a local API and would love to integrate it into my HE and buy a few more.
Yes, and they answered me directly. I asked their permission to post the answer I got.
Thanks for your suggestions, I have 11 blinds that use iblinds v3, but I have a couple of miniblinds that I don't want to change out for 2" blinds (as would be required to use iblinds) and one very narrow blind that cannot use iblinds.
The e-wand looks like it would work for you then. Though if you have google or alexa you could create a virtual switch on HE to open and close it via that.,
The whole reason I changed from Smart Things to HE is for local control that doesn't stop when the internet connection goes down. Therefor anything going through the internet a'la google or alexa is right out.
I may try an e-wand as well, but it looks like it is pretty large in diameter.
