Hello,
I need to develop a component for my window blinds. They are connected to two relais via i2c. Switching on the first relay closes the blinds, the second one opens them. Now I’m facing 2 problems:
- When opening / closing the blinds I need to wait some time (10-15s) and switch the relay off
- I need to guess the position by measuring the passed time
How can I achieve this? Is there any type of sleep function I can use to increment / decrement a counter. I guess I need some kind of threading to communicate with my entity (to signal a stop before the blinds are completely open / closed)
Thanks,
Volker
