FAKRO : stop command while closing doesn't work

Hello every body,

I have installed two roof windows from Fakro (FTU-V Z-Wave) with a blind (ARZ Z-WAVE). The windows and the blinds are motorized and it uses Zwave to communicate : that great (compaired to Velux)

The little disadvantages is that if I open the windows while the blind are closed -> I brake it ! (it only admit an openning of 20 cm).

I wanted to use Domoticz to avoid this problem. My idea was to use the dzvents .stop() function.

I tried the folowing scenarios :
  • Windows closed : command Stop sent > Nothing happen (that normal) :)
  • Windows opening : command Stop sent > the windows stops where it is (that what I want) :D
  • Windows opened : command Stop sent > the windows starts to close :(
  • Windows closing : command Stop sent > the windows continues to close :o


My Zwave Stick is a AEON Labs ZW090 Z-Stick Gen5 EU.

The command while opening or closing should have the same effect :roll:

I have the same problem on the two windows and the two blinds.

Does anyone have some Fakro devices ?

Thanks for you're help.

Hi You have to do the opposite command.

a) when the window is closed and you send an open command, you can stop it somewhere by sending a close command.
b) when the window is open and you send a close command, they will begin to close. if you want it to stop somewhere before they are fully closed, then send an open command.

Thanks for your reply.

The idea was to make a script which would protect the blind form an inapropriate movement of the windows even. For example, if I use the remote or the button, I don't know the windows moves : i can't send the opposite command.
