Low power roller shutter calibration
Posted: Monday 11 November 2019 19:02
Hi,
First of all I'll introduce myself. My name is Steven, 34 years old. At the moment im building a new home and trying to automate a few things like, lights, screens en climate with Domoticz and z-wave.
The problem i've with one of my screens is:
I have a duo roller blind that I want to control. The problem is (as far as I have tested) that the module (fibaro roller shutter 3 and Qubino roller shutter an Philio PAN8) they cannot detect the power consumption of the roller blind. The power consumption is 2.4 watts when down movement and 3 watts when up movment from the roller blind. This seems so low that the module "thinks" that the roller blind has already reached its end position, with the result that it stops after a few seconds.
What have I already tested:
- Calibration by just entering time (time up and time down) this makes no difference
- Calibrate with a lamp connected then I can go through the calibration process by lighting a lamp while going up and when the screen is at the top turn the lamp off and then do the same when going down. Then the positioning does not work but also the opening and closing does not work. The final behavior is the same when the curtain is opened slightly and then it stops.
I tested with the motor operation detection parameter by setting this extremely low or high 1 watt or 2 watt or 100 watt but that also makes no difference. What I also experimented with is the type of roller blind, roller blind build-in driver, etc. Where it always goes wrong is the calibration process.
I work with Aeoton USB Gen 5 and Domoticz (last stable).
I think its the low power consumption of de roller blind that makes the mudules won't detect the movement..... someone any ideas?
