Hello fellow HA freaks =:-)
Here after ending at a long road of home automatizations for my H-Blinds,
my solution off a collection of diff solutions from other users (just borrowed)
And finally my end solution for my home (7 H-Blinds).
As Hardware I use a
- 12v power adapter
- 12v power connector
- 12v to 5v L7805CV convertor
- 5v stepper 28BYJ-48
- ESP32-C3 Super Mini (or XIAO-ESP32-C3 from seeed studio for better wifi)
- A4988 stepper controller
- Hall 3144 sensor
- No print, direct wiring connection
- My almost self 3d creation of the unit to make and build in your H-Blind
3D Print
My final (almost complete yaml file for ESPHome) :
I still need a solution / help for that global variables how to put that value into the stepper configuration (max_speed for example)
# 1) Press button for > 1 second to enter setup mode
# 2) Press button again to start the blind closing
# 3) Press button again when closed and blind starts to open (actually resets the stepper position to 0)
# 4) Press button again when blind is fully open
# 5) Job Done
# Button is also used to open/close the blind (must be fully open/closed first)

If you where looking for such solution too (like me for a while and finally made my almost own gathered and self creation) :
Good luck and have FUN building it !!
If I forget something … just ask me.
GreetingZzz John,
-= May the automatizations be with you ! =-
PS I forget I have a non standard HA structure and I hope that this code works on a standard HA structure what I cannot test here
