Motionblinds integration

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I installed Soluna roller blinds, including the CMD-03 motors. Really nice system, and they’re very quiet! I’m used to the Aqara Roller Shade Drivers, so the difference is quite noticeable. :slight_smile:

I specifically chose Motion Blinds because of the Home Assistant integration, and I was wondering if anyone here could help me with this.

I installed two units. With the first one, Home Assistant immediately discovered the unit as soon as I connected the power. I was able to add it, and I can now see it in HA as well.

However, this wasn’t the case with the second unit. It’s possible that I added this one to the Motion Blinds app first. Does anyone know how I can put it back into pairing mode so I can add it to HA? I’ve read online that the connection can be reset/re-established by holding the button for 10 seconds.

Also, I’m currently unable to control the first unit through HA. Even though I can see the device, I get the following error message when I click “Connect”:

I’m using an ESP32 with an external antenna running ESPHome to receive Bluetooth, and that seems to be working fine since the first unit was discovered. However, the receiver is quite far away from the blinds, so I may need to add another one.

Has anyone had any experience with the above? Or am I doing something wrong?
Also, how do you guys use the motionblinds in HA? Its seems a bit of a hassle having to click on connect, move the shades and disconnect..

Thanks!

Anyone who has experience with Motionblinds CMD-03 in HA?
