That’s a shame. Something is definitely wrong with the integration.
It worked once… after a few times sending the open request it did indeed open the curtains (I find both of them separately, but they do seem to work as one). It does seem that was the only time.
Out of curiosity. What is the difference between a Reboot Host and a more regular reboot?
Indeed, I did keep trying and then suddenly it worked. There is quite a delay after sending a command though, roughly 10-30 seconds.
I still get a few warnings in the log about disconnects every now and then but they work when I or an automation sends a command.
reboot host would get your system reboot at the OS level.
restart essentially would just restart the HA service - without touching the OS, nor other services (think those addons you might have), nor the supervisor.
Typically when you changes your config or integration, you’d want to restart the HA service.
But then this bluetooth thing touches deeper into your hardware, sometimes a proper reboot at the OS level would help.
And, for people wishing to control curtains … I’d say give it some more time.
The native bluetooth thing is not available until earlier this month (Aug. 2022), so it’s still new. The dev’s initial intensions (as I understand from watching the release) were to at least get a bunch of sensors working (temp sensors, weather sensors, etc.) so that HA could at least read those data feeds and use those data feeds.
… at least that’s the short term focus at the moment.
So more to come.
