Blind Control Stop Command HowTo?

[ridewithstyle]

Hello Folks,

I am currently struggling with my blind controls functionality. I use Fibaro FGRM-222 Roller Shutter 2 Modules, they are all set up and calibrated and they work really well from the Z-Way GUI. I also use a ZME Remote with all the 7 Buttons directly mapped to the multilevel Switch settings with 0 and 99 respectively. What I am trying to achieve is, that if I press “Down” and the blinds start to move down and you decide to stop at let’s say 60% you press the button again and it is interpreted as “stop” command. With the smartphone GUI I simply press the stop button, but the remote doesn’t have that and I “read the internet” on my way to achieve it.

My low level programming for this would be like the following pseudo code

Code: Select all

move_down_button_pressed() is
{
	if currently_moving_down == true
	{
		send_stop_command();
	}
	else
	{
		send_move_down_command();
	};
};

Does anyone have a tutorial for me or an example how to get this low level stuff working? I program for a living but I somehow need some example on how to get started. So far I simply used the GUI for associations and if-then-else, but I have a feeling I need to go way deeper to crack open the possibilities of my razberry.

Thanks for any examples or pointers, really much appreciated

Regards,

found a solution to my problem, just wanted to let you know, in case someone has the same problem.

I always tried to associate my ZME_RC2 remote with my roller shutter 2s from fibaro. Yet I was always confused, because my remote clearly carries a Düwi tag and somehow none of the "instructional stuff" I found online seemed to work. A couple of nights back I tried and association in the expert GUI but it simply wouldn't get saved to the remote. Eventually, I gave up and carried on with my life.

Today - for some reason - I used the remote in dim mode and - behold - the shutter control of one of my blinds somehow worked as it should have. Intrigued, I tried everything and tried to find out, what I did to make the bloody thing work (toggle app, if-then-else, association, etc.). The only thing I could find was the association with the first button of the remote.

So I associated the other buttons as well and tried to wake the remote, to no avail. Nothing could get the config into the device. After a while I just placed it right beside the razberry and waited for a while. 30 Minutes later, suddenly all config was properly stored in the remote! Everything works as expected!

The only hickup I have is with one Roller Shutter 2 22.22, where dimming works, but in the opposite direction as normal operation. So down is down, dimming down is moving up and vice versa. As this thing already took ages to configure, I'll replace it with a 24.24 version. Those are working fine and all shades are properly controlled throughout the house.
