You have to use the same host in the address as defined in the connections.
Form what you wrote the correct address for your cover should be myLCN.s0.m7 (not myhome).

It’d great if that would work and for sure the best would it be, if it shows withoud BS4 also the percentage like on IP-Symcon.

I implemented this for a test some time ago, but found it very unreliable. Therefore, I didn’t see any real benefit and removed it again.

Hi @alengwenus,

does it mean there’s no option to contol tilt positions using Shutter position command like in LCN-PRO? If I set proper timing configuration for each cover in LCN-PRO it seems to work pretty well. So having an option to set blade angle sounds resonable to me? Doing it using only full open/close and stop option is unmanagable. I know I could set a button in LCN pro and call it using send_keys but that’s a bit poor if comes to reconfigurations etc.

So I’d really opt for having support for shutter position options set height/set blade angle and other. What do you think?

Best regards,
K.M.
