shutter level

Hi,

I need to get the blinds status ie. open, close, partically open and have read in these forms the only way to do it is to set the switch so that 1 press will open, 2nd close and long press would stop the blinds. Thus setting the level to 0%, 100%, and 98%. But how to do I configure this, and can it be done for more than 1 blind. Currently I have a button used to toggle between scenes to open/close multiple blinds but I cant get the long press to work with this.

thanks in advance

 

Set short release to Toggle, and long press to recall 1 (or 2) with a value of 2% (not 98%, that is for single button open/stop/close/stop etc). Note the I actually do this the other way around. i.e. short release to stop and long press to toggle. In this way you can stop the blind more accurately, plus you don't have a problem with people unfamiliar with the setup moving the blinds while randomly pushing buttons to find the light switch.

For multiple blinds, you can set them all to the same GA but then you won't be able to control them individually.

You can't use the single button open/stop/close/stop option with multiple blinds because the toggling is done inside the shutter relay and the blinds will get out of sync.

If you have spare virtual groups in the keypad (i.e. a 2 or 4 button neo etc), you can set up each virtual group to control one blind and then select all the required blocks for a single key switch. The toggle function will stay in sync because the switch will base the toggle on the first block and set all the other blocks the same.

If you want to use scenes, use a similar setup but set the group to trigger control and create 3 action selectors, 0, 255 and some other value, say 1.
The setup 3 scenes. Action selector 0 to close the blinds, 255 to open the blinds and 1 to set all the blinds to 2% (i.e. stop).

 

thanks again Ashley. I'll give this a try and let u know how i go
