Domoticz

Hello all,
I recently bought a Smartwares SH5-RBU-04A Blinds controller, but I have no luck in getting it controlled with my RFXcom RFXtrx433E USB 433.92MHz transceiver in Domoticz.
I hope here is a faster way than to try all 50 or more brands of Blinds-switches .
I tried a few , but it is rather time consuming since you have to push the " learning button " on the blinds switch each time.

Can anyone give me some pointers , how to connect to this " up and down " switch

Thanks in advance!

Hello David,

Do you already have a way to get it work ?
I have te same problem.

Yes, I have.

by using a remote for an other 433MHz device i got my blinds moving.
this remote was also recognized by Domoticz and it showed the smartwares SH5-RBU-04A can be controlled by using :
Add manual light/switch device with the following parameters:
Hardware : RFXCOM ( Or what ever your 433MHz antenna is named in Domoticz )
Device name : ( any name chosen by you , like: " Blinds_01"
Switch type : Blinds
Type : AC
ID: 2 :02:02:03 or any other ID that is not being used by any other device in your setup
Unit code : 1 or any other Unit code that is not being used by any other device in your setup

Then switch on the power for your SH5-RBU-04A or press the learning button on the SH5-RBU-04A and in Domoticz go to the "switches " Tab and press on the "open blinds " icon . Now the SH5-RBU-04A should learn the "open command " and since you have chosen Switch type : Blinds ,the "Close command" is already incorporated.

keep in mind that if you set some timed events to open and close the blinds on a set time, after sending a open or close command one of the outputs of the SH5-RBU-04A will be active untill the next command will be sent.
To make both outputs inactive after the blinds moved up or down , just program each command twice with a one minute interval. The first command will activate the output, the second command will make the same output inactive.
