Support for Somfy ZRTSI (Z-wave bridge for Somfy RTS Blinds)?

Yes the ZRTSI does work with Hubitat, but it was a bit tricky to setup.

First, mine was paired with my Wink 2. I had to go into the RTS and do the z-wave reset command, then I have to use exclusion mode on the Hubitat to remove the various nodes from the Wink 2.

Once that was done, I was able to add the base notes to the Hubitat. For some reason I had to pair five base nodes before the RTS finally said that it was connected to the Z-Wave network. (Has a Z in the corner of the display). I selected "Generic Z-Wave Repeater" for each of the base nodes.

Once the base nodes were paired, and the "Z" was visible, I was able to add each virtual node using the menu on the RTS. I added all 16 virtual nodes even though I am controlling 9 blinds.
I set each as a "Generic Z-Wave Shade".

The open/close and on/off commands work to open/close the blinds, which is all I need for the most part. The Set Position command doesn't seem to work. And Alexa sees them as a switch so she only likes the On/Off command. Not an issue as I have then open automatically at sunrise, and close at sunset. I then setup a group on Alexa and a routine that lets me simply say "Close the blinds" that closes the whole group.

I will try augoisms driver tonight to see if the "My Position" works.
