Let me start by saying I am VERY new to Home Assistant. I am quite technical and I been doing Home Automation (on HomeSeer) for many many years.
I have 4 iBlinds (ver 3.1) motors. They are some of the very few Z-Wave devices I have on Home Assistant.
I originally set them up back in November 2022 and everything worked prefectly. I could control and get feedback from them using:
- A Switch - Entity: switch.blind_controller
- A Slider - Entity: cover.blind_controller
Both would also report status.
Recently I updated all of my Home Assistant to the latest version of the OS and Z-Wave JS. I also had to replace one of my iBlinds that would not charge.
When I added the new iBlinds motor, I now only get:
- A Slider - Entity: cover.window_blind_controller_horizontal_slats_angle
I lost the switch and the slider only reports “Unknown”
My other 3 previous iBlinds keep working just fine and have the original functionality.
I have read the thread but I do not understand what has happened.
I can control my blind by using the “cover.window_blind_controller_horizontal_slats_angle” but I have no way of seeing the value of what position the blind is set to or if it is opened or closed.
Can someone please help me understand what I can do to regain the previous functionality? Is there any way I can tell the status of the blinds on the newly enrolled iBlinds motor?
How can I help fix this?
Again, apologies for my newnewss to the platform and not understanding the previous posts.
