sloop Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 i thought sdn was somfy - which would be proprietary - a hurdle if we use ip, that will save you and michel a ton of headaches - we will need a command set that the isy will send over ip to the controller in the blind - be nice to have the controller able to talk back to the isy - confirmations and queries and such - ip will handle packet delivery and confirmations - we'll use a data switch - it would be fine on a home network as long as we keep it separate from megapixil security cameras networks looks like power over ethernet is 48 volt - have to see if it can output enough power to drive the motor - or spec out a motor in that range - as i understand it, somfy adjusts the motor with 'pulses' of power - so 20% open might be 8 pulses - kinda sounds hokey but if it works... aight - we saved michel a lotta work by having ip handle communication - he will have to create a command set - write the module for the isy including a sexy interface - he gets the insteon command - creates the blind command packet and passes it off to ip to deliver the packet to your controller in the blind - you act on the command and send back a confirmation to michel in the isy easy peasy and all your wives will be driving new infinitis in no time (even though michel has no in his head - i promise you he is constructing in his head how it could be done - its how we nerdz work)
