Domoticz

Hello all
I plan to control shutters but I do not want to RF safety reasons.

So I think used a arduino ethernet card and relay card controlled by script who manage the percentage of opening.


I like to know if it is possible now to create a virtual dummy shutter with a slide that will launch the script as an argument the percentage value ?

Thx

why not use the zwave fibaro roller shutter 2 ?
It can also set the shutters to a fixed position (percentage)

A RF shy guy !Yes and yes.... but you need a Yùn or something with ethernet, and implement a webservice to activate from domoticz.

You'll need to define a virtual hardware (dummy), then in the light section, manually create a "blind".

From there, you add a on and off action that will call your arduino IP with its service name (on/off/pulse or whatever...)

Here is a hint how to program the arduino core logic: http://mysensors.org/build/binary. For the webservce/IP part, check on the web you'll find plenty

I do not want to RF for all that is strategic. There are relatively simple to copy an RF signal and open the shutter. I still check the last week with my RFXCOM capture a neighbor rf signal shutters that I could after open or close at my convenience. I am using RF for Sensors

My shutter puts X time to fully close (or open). I connect a relay opening and closing another relay. Both relays will be controlling an Arduino with an ethernet card.
I work on script that will calculate based on the position of the previous time of engine operation opening or closing the shutter it takes to reach the requested position. It will send the ON command will wait the calculated delays and send the OFF command (udp or tcp I did not encor fixed), registers the new position of the shutter, and send in JSON requet the state return has domoticz.
More to avoid the accumulation of lag due to the latency of the network ip A reboot script will run daily (opening in full and returned to the previous state ).
What I want is to create virtual interupteur with a slide that will launch my script as an argument with the percentage of opening. I tried but not succeeded.
There he has an average of the percentage of recovered slide as variable.

And I would add that this solution is very inexpensive for what my finances suits me perfectly. Over arduino can control many relays and therefore run almost all the electrical outlet and lighting control I desire.

PS: Sorry for my bad English .

Did you manage to do that? I'm trying to do the same in my home installation. I have directly connected my raspberry pi to a relay board through a small board that converts from 3v to 5v. I've managed to create several on/off switches to open and close the blinds with a timeout and I works fine. Next step is try to make a percent blinds.

I'm looking for the same. I've connected a servo to the axle of the some horizontal blinds and use it to control the angle. I would like to use a dummy blinds percentage to control this from domoticz.
