I have Tasmota (with Portisch) running on my Sonoff RF Bridge and everything works fine with it controlling my 433Mhz roller shades except that it always sends and ‘open’ RF signal to the shades after the RF bridge restarts. Initially I thought it was the SwitchRetain setting, so I set SwitchRetain Off, toggled ButtonRetain to reset the broker, set PowerRetain On and PowerOnState 3 but it still always opens the shades after restart, no matter whether they were physically closed or open, and no matter what their previous state was set to in HA.

My HA config also forces retain: false even though that’s the default:

Might have to abandon this project as the wife doesn’t like the shades opening randomly. So much for spontaneity!
