Function:
intelligent blind motor, designed for tilting Venetian (two inch slatted-style) blinds.
Z-Wave5

Domoticz experience
Hardware:
+ Kit includes a long usb cable so that you can use to charge the battery while it is in the blinds, without having to take them down from the window.
- The button in the charge adapter doesn't seem to do anything in mine. Maybe mine was broken, or I just don't understand it's function, but it doesn't seem to be connected to anyhting at all if I look into the device.
Remarks:
v3.1 is not listed in my openzwave file manufacturer_specific.xml (yet): the device is however by default recognised as a single switch device, which -once it is set to sub type blinds percentage- can be used to operate the blind.
After adding the appropriate line in manufacturer_specific.xml:
Code: Select all

Configuration:
Devices
Only a single Light/Switch-device is shown in Domoticz. Once you set it to the proper switch type it does operate the blinds as intended, even without the proper xml file installed.

Physical installation is pretty easy: just follow the 11 steps in the manual. There was not much room to pass the 3 wires for the lifting spools further away from the end by the iblinds motor. In the end I passed the 2nd wire under the iBlinds motor, and those for the 3rd and 4th lifting spool over the iblinds motor. All 3 could not be passed properly without pulling them over/against the iblinds motor, which makes lifting and lowering the blinds a bit harder, but it works. We'll see how long it takes to wear through the wires or the motor house (whichever comes first).
The only thing that I was a bit unsure of was when to do the calibration. I just installed the blinds, and then it turned out the motor starts the calibration process automatically the very first time you issue a level-command to the motor.
I have not physically built it into my blinds yet, so no experience there yet.
Kit v3.1 is not officially supported yet: it is not a know device. Using z-wave's default node information however it can be properly controlled. Options can however not be set without the proper entry in the xml files.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone got the supporting xml file for the iBlinds zwave device already?
In my domoticz it's not recognised yet, so I'll try and build my own file to get it properly recognised, but if someone already got an xml file.....
