@dormani see my post from a few months back. I just updated it to have a link with the python request version. DM me if you need help.

Question for this group. I copied the github folder into my config directory. I restarted Home Assistant. How do I “get into” NeoSmart from the Home Assistant app? It’s not showing up anywhere.

You need to add each blind to the configuration.yaml file or alternatively create a specific yaml file named say neosmart and include this file with the syntax applicable to your blinds there in the config file.
Try something like
cover:

  • platform: neosmartblinds
    name: Lounge right
    host: 192.168.19.XXX
    hub_id: DOBbDpGGU92iRD5D8ixXXX
    protocol: http
    port: 8838
    blind_code: 185.0XX-01
    close_time: 17

The blind code for each blind is available from the neosmart app on your phone under the specific blind and advanced controls.
Hub ID is obtained from the app on your phone under smart controllers from the menu. A sensor will then be created prefixed cover. which is then used in a card to control the blind in H/A. This is of course after you have done a check of configuration and restart on H/A.

Need a little help getting the right button for my shade entities. Pretty please!

I installed the NeoSmart Add-on (see below)…

I edited my configuration.yaml file, like so…

I can see my shade under entities…

But when I click on it, I get this weird screen - that not only is, well…weird. It doesn’t control my shades at all…

Any thoughts on where I’ve gone wrong? I’m not seeing anything that looks like this button from the github repo…

Did you figure this out? A couple things that might help you:

  1. The two images you shared of the different UIs are the same. Just HA had updated their interface to make it more visually pleasing. You can play with different cards and stylings for interacting with the blinds after you get functionality working.
  2. As for functionality, once the blind is in HA you should be able to interact with it. For starters, what kind of blinds are they? You’ve set settings in your config that are not required. I’d first try with the minimum config entries and see if you can get it to work before adding extra lines like motor code or rail (check the GitHub page to see which ones are required vs not).
  3. Can you post your full config block? Just blur out the hub ID and the IP

I am experiencing exactly the same issue: Works well from the app, but no longer from HA.

For a £150 device that really sucks.
