Implementing hunter douglas powerview blinds

Development
1

Im planning to create a plugin for Hunter Douglas powerview blinds.

hunterdouglas.com/operating- … torization

Currently their http api supports scene activation which are defined through the powerview app.
The plugin I am thinking of will query the http api (/api/scenes/) and display the returned scenes in the ha app.
Next to that the scenes should be able to be activated using HA automation.

But I am not sure which HA compononent I should use as a starting point. I guess it should be some kind of scene controller component…
Anyone any suggestions ?

Ideally they would fit in the rollershutter component. As that’s more or less what it is.

Can they be controlled by saying go up/down/stop ?

Not really. Currently it supports scene activation. Later it will (publicly) support “goto” commands. So no up/down/stop.
The powerview app allows blind control using sliders…

hi…

Did you make it wok in HA…?

I’m in the same boat… Got my Hunter Douglas blinds installed.

wondering where to start…

would appreciate if you have found a way to have it integrated into HA and operate it.

@KvRajan there is a power view scene component available. Allows for activating scenes.

@sanders I noticed that aiopvapi supports more than just scenes: such as position, open, close, etc. Do you know if there has been any work on integrating this with HA? I’m happy to help out, but have little experience with Python.

Yeah it is possible. It’s on my list but just don’t have the time now… If you want to give it a shot I’m happy to support you. Send me the link of your repo.
