Newbie HA user so please bear with me…
I’ve been reading up on this issue from the past:
And just like mib2011 I’m confused what the meaning of up and down is with my current HA config.
I’m pretty sure that I’ve connected the rollershutter like this:
(when i tapped the hardware down button quickly 3 times (connected to s1), it put the fibaro in pairing mode)
When my sunscreen is in its case (“up” as I understand it, so I can look outside), this is what I see in state attribute:
{
“power_consumption”: 0,
“node_id”: 2,
“supported_features”: 15,
“icon”: “mdi:blinds”,
“friendly_name”: “sunscreen”,
“current_position”: 0
}
The gui shows this when the screen is “up” and I can look outside:
As you can see the gui shows that I have to press the “up” button to make the screen go down.
When I want the screen to go down and block the sun I have to call this service: open_cover
result: the screen goes down, blocks the sun and these become its attribute:
{
“power_consumption”: 0,
“node_id”: 2,
“supported_features”: 15,
“icon”: “mdi:blinds”,
“friendly_name”: “sunscreen”,
“current_position”: 100
}
and the gui shows this (as open) and the button pointing down, when the screen in fact is already “down”:
I can use the slider to move the cover from 100 to 85 to block the sun partially and leave a little airgap at the bottom.
this is what the gui shows:
Question:
I have the sense that it works ok… I call the open_cover service when I want to block the sun and use the close_cover when I want to look outside.
But why does the gui then show the arrows in the opposite direction? (When the screen is in its case (up), I have to press “up” to make the screen go “down” and block the sun (close_cover position 100)
