"Stop"-Button for Velux roller shutters/blinds via KIG300-Gateway and within HomeKit Controller

Feature Requests
1

I have some Velux roller shutters which I added to a Velux gateway (KIG 300) to control them with the Velux app “VELUX ACTIVE”. HomeAssistant suggested to integrate this gateway via HomeKit Controller Integration, which I did. Now I can control my shutters (up, down, position slider) with the exception, that there is no “stop”-button.

Unfortunately the service cover.stop_cover doesn’t work either (e.g. in a script) so there is no possibility to stop moving cover at desired position. Set position with percentage works (slider), but this is not intuitiv especially for my wife.

As for the obvious: get a new wife.

I have a similar setup and defined a couple of scenes for the roller shutters. Buttons on the dashboard or Siri will call the scenes.

Hi,
I have the same request. Any news ?
In the Velux app there is a stop button when a shutter move.

Thanks

Hi @ all!

Same here … For me it’s about controlling the Velux Window via KNX wall switches. I want/have to use a one button HMI … so it’s about open/stop/close.

Same issue here.

I have configured a KIG300 over HomeKit integration and it works like a charm exept for the ‘stop button’ feature.
Any workarround or planned feature realease for fixing this?

Regards!

Chiming in and wondering if this is a feature that’s missing on the HomeKit side of things in general or just the HomeKit Device integration in HomeAssistant. Anyone knowledgeable on the matter? Support for stop would be great

Would love to have the cover.stop_cover service available.

I did it by removing it from the Home App (in iOS) and then clicked “setup HomeKit” in the Velux App.

BUT: I would not recommend it. The result looks like this:

means: no stop button and no position. So the actions are open (complete) or close … is there any update in the meanwhile?

Thanks, Florian
