Curtain robot extend time to fully open and close

[Bospieper]

Hello,
I bought a zigbee device from AliExpress to experiment close and open my curtain. The device can only be operated as a dimmer. What I am looking for is a solution for the time between closed (0) and open (100) is too short to completely open/close the curtain. Is there a way to extend the time?

What do you mean?
If you put it from 0% to 100% the curtain will start to move but it will not go to the end? What integration do you use for Zigbee?

I think this is a WiFi device. If it presents itself as a dimmer, then any setting between 0 and 100 should work.
What about the light sensor is that exposed too?

Hello Kedi,I don't think it's a WiFi device because in that case Domoticz would not have it reconiged as a zigbee device. The function of the light sensor is not reconiged but in the app it will. But when you use the app you have first install the TuYa hub and I don't have one.

Again, what integration you use as the device does not seems to be compatible yet with any of the zigbee platforms. So that is probably why it is not functioning as expected. For Zigbee2MQTT there are instructions how a new device can be supported. You need to do some discovery actions.

Hi Waltervl,
In my MQTT Explorer I see the following when I operate the robot. I don't understand what you mean by wich integration I use.

[waltervl]

Zigbee can be integrated in Domoticz with Zigbee2MQTT with MQTT AD discovery, Zigbee2MQTT plugin, Zigbee4Domoticz plugin, Hue Bridge etc.

It seems you use Zigbee2MQTT were it seems to be discovered correctly as a cover. Then it seems that it should be created as a blind device in Domoticz. Do you use the python plugin or MQTT Auto Discover Gateway to communicate with Zigbee2MQTT?

[Bospieper]

I am using Zigbee2mqtt and MQTT Autodiscovery client gateway.
I have 7 devices in the devicelist referring to the curtain robot

[waltervl]

What version of Domoticz are you using as Auto Discover blinds have been improved in 2023.x versions I believe.

If you do not get a blinds device in a Domoticz 2024.x version report this as an MQTT Auto discover issue. Follow this instruction https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT_AD_Report_Problems

Hi, I am using version 2024.4 stable.
I will report this issue.
Thanx for your patience and advice
