Domoticz

Issue:

When moving position slider to 0%, Domoticz shows "Open" as state of the switch and the shutters fully open.
Expected behaviour: Domoticz should show "Closed" as state of the switch and the shutters should fully close.

Domoticz Version: 2021.1 (Build 13360)
Platform: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
PLugin: MQTT Discovery from: https://github.com/emontnemery/domoticz_mqtt_discovery

Used Hardware:

SonOff Dual R2 with Tasmota Firmware 9.5.0 configured with options:
ShutterRelay1 1
Interlock 1,2
Interlock ON
setoption19 1

The shutters are automatically detected via the plugin

They show as Light/Switch, Blinds Percentage
Open and Close work as expected.
Also the percentage (1 is almost fully closed, 99% is almost fully opened) works, except 0%, this makes the blinds go open.

Found a temporary workaround:
Change device settings in Domoticz to "Venetian Blinds EU". (No longer % but Open, Close and Stop)
This way at least the available functions work as expected.
Unfortunately a new detection round from the Discovery Plugin reverts the device type to "Blinds Percentage"

However it would be great when it also works with percentage and not reverting manual changes to the device.

Logging:

When setting the slider to 0% (And Domoticz shows "Open") on the screen:

Code: Select all

Well,

Seems like a user error

Apparently it is more logical to have 0% as open and 100% as closed, which I had swapped in my head.
Other shutters (Curtains) in my domoticz work like this therefore i deducted this should word like that as well.

The solution was to add

Code: Select all

ShutterInvert1 1

to the Tasmota configuration and the slider works as expected.

Good you have found the solution!
Other possibility would perhaps be to edit your Domoticz device to "Blinds percentage inverted"
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dummy_for ... h_Subtypes

But modifying it within Tasmota configuration is off course doing the trick too

Changing the devicetype in Domoticz is a good suggestion, however the Discovery Plugin overwrites this when you enable new hardware.

Otherwise that would probably have been my solution.
