Thank you to 4n0nD3v3l0p3r for the original version they created. Located here: Custom Component: NeoSmartBlinds Cover
I have adjusted the code for easier maintainability. I also updated the documentation and improved the installation instructions.
Be sure to check the readme.md for the latest and best instructions.
Notable Changes
- The blind code should not have the dash “-” on the end anymore. This is now handled internally.
- Two protocol options, http, and tcp
– http port: 8838
– tcp port: 8839 - This release also takes care of the “This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.” message and allows for it to be managed from the UI.
