Would it be possible to implement the support of Rademacher Rollotron 1213 dect in AVM FRITZ! SmartHome Addon?
I have integrated two Rademacher Rollotron DECT 1213 into HA via Fritz! Box 7590 FW 7.27 and AVM FRITZ!SmartHome. Two devices and two entities are also recognized. Only I cannot use it. It is always indicated that the blinds are closed, regardless of whether they are closed or open.
Does anyone have any experience with that?
I would also like to create an automation with Astro, but I am missing entities like “Close” / “Open”.
According to the documentation it (blinds) does not look like it is supported.
It Looks like Binary Sensor, Climate, Sensor and Switches are only supported
I don’t really like nodered and I only installed it for the rollers. But I found a better solution for me:
Installing a docker container of homebridge with only the Homebridge Fritz Platform Plugin, configured with my Roller AINs in Smart Home did the trick too.
Homebridge then gets integrated as Homekit Controller and provides its devices to Home Assistant, Homekit/Siri gets them from Home Assistant and that’s it: Rollers can be controlled by Home Assistant and Siri.
But I really think this should be integrated natively which would make homebridge obsolete in this scenario.
Thank you for sharing your experiences here!
I have now also ordered a Rollotron Dect, it is on its way
To prepare as much as possible already:
I’ve installed HomeBridge in Docker as well, and it was directly recognized in Home Assistant
In the Fritz-Platform-Plugin … What do I have to select for the Accessory Type of the device - still Blind, as in your earlier mentioned node-red Module?
And do you have any recommendations for a nicely operable Frontend once the Rollotron is integrated? Or how do you control your Rollotron via your Lovelace?
Thanks in advance and (hopefully) happy christmas holiday!
EDIT - NVM, answered myself - of course, it has to be a Blind … then it will be recognized in HA as cover working perfectly, easy Solution. As Frontend I use the Shutter Card
But if our Fritz!SmartHome-Integration would recognize it directly as such, it would be still easier, and we don’t need to run another docker/VM maybe, one day …
Sorry, missed the reply. But you already found it yourself. On lovelace I also use Shutter Card, most of the time, it is only an automation which controls the covers - or I just use Siri
But it would be really nice if we could get rid of the extra docker/VM in 2022
Would be interested in a direct solution as well. Seems to be exactly the same with the Becker BoxCTRL shutters communicating with the FritzBox via DECT… Will try your HomeBridge solution!
