Integrating control of my Velux windows into Domoticz

[simonrg]

You need one KLF-100 per group - so if you wanted to control all individually, you'd need 10 - but if you grouped some(or all) of the windows together and the same with the blinds - then you'll need just 2.And any other combination in between of course.

Thanks, really a non-starter then, they are not easily groupable or at least dependent on time of day and the weather the devices move between different groups, so I would need 10 KLF-100s.

Nice project! Is the EETH008 really needed? Wouldn't an EETH002 (https://www.antratek.nl/eth002) be enough?

Should be ok, I just use 2 relays from the eth008, one for Open, one for Close, and both together for stop.

Hi
I have a problem. I want use GPIO relay on Raspberry to control my Blinds by remote Telis 4 RTS.
I use 2 relay connect by GPIO to my Raspberry with Domoticz. I use wirePi library to control GPIO by Domoticz. I create Switch with set GPIO o open and to Close Blinds. But i Have one problem. Pulse from relay is too long. Longer then when i press button manual on remote. I user events with set time 0.2 secund but nothing change... WHen i click example on close switch sometimes i hear that relay has long time pulse sometime short time pulse. How can i set time to relay by GPIO to shorter less than 0.2 secund ? Because problem is that relay has too long pulse and when pulse is too long blinds not close , it change position step by step.

Maybe i can use script with set time pulse for relay ?

Please i need help

I decided to bite the bullet an ordered one of these:

Will report back how it goes.

Dear StanHD...

Do you have this board working in domoticz??
Please tell me how...
With a http command?

[StanHD]

Yes, like this:-



The IP is the address of the ETH008
iocgi? = The onboard embedded interface
DOA7 = Digital Out Active Relay 7
DOI7 = Digital Out Inactive Relay 7

The Off Delay just allows for a 5 second "Pulse" through the contacts.

It is obviously "overkill" for just working with volt-free contacts but I use the other 6 relays for ceiling fan switching, extract fan switching and speed selection etc.

mm give it a try on my board. [ time needed ]

Only do you have acces without a password/login?

You can activate a password on the ETH008 board, and then I think you can include that in the switch command. (But I am not sure)

Instead of Velux, if you have the choice or buying a new one, go for instance to www.fakro.com their products are based on Z-wave. Somfy and Velux IO control are closed systems.
