I was wondering if anybody would be willing to create a node server for the Soma Tilt blind controller, I wouldn't ask if Network Resources would work for me. I tried reading all I could find on how to create a node server and I just can not figure it out. https://support.somasmarthome.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026064234-HTTP-API is where the simple GET commands are and the main thing I see that is not covered or maybe changed is the command /set_shade_position/"MAC"/"position" seems to work 100 to -100 with 100 being closed in one direction and -100 closed in the other direction. I tried using network resources to operate it using ISY but it does not work all of the time but putting it into a browser I never had it fail. I have a text document with the commands and what is returned in the browser that I could offer but it has the Mac address so I would rather not post it.

Play with the timeout settings in the Network Resources.  Often it's that simple. 

Posting the MAC address is pretty harmless especially since I highly doubt your blinds have a direct internet connection

Thanks for the reply. I have the timeout set for 5000 do you think I need to try higher than that?

I thought i saw the screenshot in your other post?  It was 500ms

I just created that as an example because I thought it would be bad to post Mac address.

oh ok. 

If you have it set to 5,000 that should be high enough that it's not timing out the connection.  But I don't know what the back end is doing.  If it's intermittent in responses it might be a time out issue.  I don't know if L3 in the event viewer shows network resource information??? Maybe?

 

Level 3 event viewer does not appear to show anything for network resources that I can tell. I do get an error in my error log that I posted in my other thread
