Qconnect / Qmotion shades

Hi all,

I have these motorised shades in my parents house who want to connect it to their home assistant. I cannot figure out to get this to work with home assistant. This device allows communication with the motorised shades after learning the commands from the remote.

But it operates using serial commands and has no ethernet capabilities just RS-232 which I’m not very experienced with. The guy who did their automation 6 years ago had it going however, it was a horrible system which didn’t work well.

I’ve been able to upgrade everything into Home assistant expect this.

Is there anyone who can help me out?

Hey, did you manage to get these blinds working with Home Assistant? I’m also considering trying them, since I see they are Zigbee controlled.

If you have not got them connected yet, have you installed a MQTT broker? That might be a good start.
