Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 - trying to set position at a given point

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Good evening,

I am playing with Home assistant since a few months trying to automate my home. A lot of fun, with a steep learning curve.

I have currently the following issue with the fibaro roller shutters
I have a scene for all covers setting the position at a certain level (e.g. 35) to provide for sun cover - but fail to achieve the desired result. The scene for opening and closing all covers is functiong.

So:

  - name: open_covers
      entities:
        cover.fibaro_system_fgrm222_roller_shutter_controller_2_level_3_0: open

works, but

  - name: sun_cover
       entities:
         cover.fibaro_system_fgrm222_roller_shutter_controller_2_level_3_0:
           set_current_position: 35

does not, the last line with position: 35 is also not working.

All covers are configured as Roller Blind Mode, with positioning (parameter 10) and have been calibrated.

If done manually with the slider, the covers go to the correct positioning.

Would anyone have a hint?

I’m in the same boat as you and it seems that we are not alone: Covers in scenes: Expose set_cover_position as state?

Thank you timeseekbeck,

Seems this is currently not possible and we need to get it in a future development.

In the meantime it is apparently possible to set the state in automation with a trigger.

Would anyone have an idea how to use the automation trigger within a scene to try to find an alternative solution? Has this been done before?

I need the scenes in order to use Alexa with the ActivateSceneIntent

Maybe this can help: Trigger Automation when Scene is triggered

Good luck!

Hi timeseeback,

Exactly whatI am looking for - will try to implement it this week-end and revert back if it works.

Seeing the exact same issue when it comes to setting position, the slider works fine but automation not so much.

Hello!

add this to your configuration.yaml:

# enable cover position
cover:
  - platform: zwave
    name: "Jalousie"
    set_position_topic: "soma/shade/rise201/set"
    state_topic: "soma/shade/rise201/state"
    retain: false

and then this works perfect:

scene:
  - name: "TV"
    entities:
      cover.jalousie_terasse_level:
        position: 40

good luck

Hello Mr White,

I was only able to test your proposal recently (having switche between the different installation possibilities AIO, Hassbian and Hass.io).

Your proposal works perfectly and I finally set the position of the covers.

Many thanks.

Hi All, any idea how control also the tilt of shades in HASSIO ? I can open / close / set the position but I also need to tilt the shades… would be great !

hello!

this works with miliseconds too

- delay:
    miliseconds: 100

so the position can be reached exacly
