Selectblinds

Does anyone know whether this plug-in will work with blinds from selectblinds.com? First-hand experience?

If Bond Bridge supports the blinds - then yes.
Ask in Bond forum, they are quite helpful https://forum.bondhome.io/

Apparently the select blinds use the NEO Connect Smart WiFi Controller so I guess I need to find a plug-in that can control that if possible.

I contacted neosmartblinds and they provided the API documentation, so I can create a plugin.
Problem is - I don't own the controller/blinds - so I can't test the plugin.
If anybody is willing to do the testing and provide feedback?

I would volunteer, but I don't own the blinds yet. I wanted to make sure they would work with homeseer before I bought them. A bit of a dilemma...

There was a request before https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...hub-for-shades
I'll see if anybody will volunteer.
But since they have all other integrations - shouldn't be a problem in HS.

Thanks. I'll monitor that forum.

NeoSmart sent me the hub, remote and a couple of motors, so I'm working in the plugin.

I submitted AKNeoSmart plugin (currently in BETA). When HST create the separate forum for the new plugin, move the discussion there.

It's a preliminary version, needs some more work, but it's functional - you can add and control controllers and blinds.

neosmartblinds.com also installed HS4 and testing the plugin with all motors. And also we are working with neosmartblinds.com on adding more features to the API to simplify setup and improve functionality (i.e. adding mDNS discovery to the controllers)

AKNeosmartBlinds is in the updater and forum created - need to start documenting

How is it working so far? The issue I'm having with my blinds is that they won't let me set ANY favorites, and therefore I can't automate the shades to go to certain favorites at certain time of the day.

I don't suppose this plugin will help with that, will it?

Is it a question about AKBond or AkNeoSmartBlinds plugin?

What blinds do you have? What remote control (picture)?

With my shutters I thought they don't have favourites - so I attached ZWave door sensor half way - so it triggers HS event to stop blinds moving.

But then I found (thanks to Bond forum and Chris Merc) that lots of blinds manufactures use Somfy technology underneath and by using AKBond plugin I can now send the blinds to favourite position.
