Venetian EU Blinds

Post by bokan20 »

Hello,
I have a problem with setting blinds. I can not set "Venetian EU" switch. Attach an image to see how I set it up...

try with ON/OFF instead of Open/Close

can you describe a bit better the hardware type of the switches and blind?

The electric motor for the blinds is classic 230V. Pictures below...

mmh ok...
let's resume...
The 2 relays that operate the motor are NOT a rolling shutter device, but a 2 relay manually (and indipendently) operated....

So... it must be clear that ALL the times you act a movement you MUST deny the other movement:
if you want to go UP you have to open the down contact anche close the open one for a certain amount of time (do NOT leave it closed!!!)
if you want to go DOWN you have to open the up contact anche close the down one for a certain amount of time (do NOT leave it closed!!!)

more... the venetian blind device is a virtual device, not really connected to anything.. correct?
so.. all the time you press the ventian UP/DOWN you have to operate as per upper description (you would have a script running for that)
you have problems operating the venetian (virtual) switch right?

if so... I'll make a try to replicate the scenario... I'll shortly will be in the same situation between a virtual blind object and a KNX shutter device, so it would be almost the same!

ciao

Hi,
sorry for digging up the thread, but I have almost same hardware setup, and there is a possibility my Blind motor gets power on its 2 phases (Up and Down command simultaneously).
What is the effect of this on blind motor? Is there any protection inside the blinds?

Call me not brave enough to test it myself, but I have a quite huge blind at home; any maintenance on it would be painful.
If anyone has some knowledge...
