Hunter Douglas shade plugin version 0.1.5

[sjenkins]

Put out a new version which has a new set of profile files as well as G2 debug.  Make sure you restart your Admin console after install.

The main 'feature' is in set Shade Position you can set False or 0-100, this allows the user to define what is moving.

Next I will likely work on cleaning up the shade node so that is matches the features of a shade closer.  So that tilt or secondary only show up for shades that need it.  After talking to the node experts I think I now know how to accomplish this without having a node type for every type of shade x G2/G3.

Enjoy and please send feedback.

@sjenkins Great update. Working very well! Here are my tests in the sequence that they were performed. Again SSP = Set Shade Position button. Only thing that I have noticed is when I use the shade in a program and set it to either a variable of a number position, it does not show up in the code (see below)

false,false,20 SSP works

false,false,false SSP left tilt at 20

false,false,0 SSP returned tilt to 0 and updated AC

false,false,15 SSP set tilt at 15 and update AC

false,false,0 SSP returned tilt to 0 and updated AC

30,false,false SSP worked and AC updated to 30

30,false,25 SSP had no change from previous position

50,false,25 SSP opened blind to 50% and no tilt as it should be

0,false,25 SSP closed blinds and tilt remained at 0 as it should be

false,false,false Tilt Open did not work

false,false,false SSP followed by Tilt Open worked with AC set to 49

false,false,false Tilt Close worked

false,false,60 SSP worked and AC showed 49

false,false,60 Tilt Close worked with AC updating to 0

false,false,false OPEN opened the shade to 100 and AC updated

false,false,false CLOSE closed the shade and AC showed 0

@sjenkins I should add that the program does run correctly even though the line of code does not itself show the open level. And great idea to add the Boolean to the position

[sjenkins]

Really good to hear we are getting closer!

Thanks for doing such extensive testing.
Am I right just the below didn't work as expected?

false,false,false Tilt Open did not work

Just wanted to verify the above.  Tried on my G3 and it worked, so want to narrow the issue.

On the showing up the code program issue ; verified same response with mine ; yup, I know what I have to do there.

 

btw: as you suggested primary gets priority over tilt for G2 -- for fun I would like to see what would happen if I sent primary to the G2 posKind1: 1  & tilt to posKind2: 3 and see what happens.  Would only be useful if there is no secondary.  I might make a button just for you to try it out.

@GTench Fixed the program formatting issue.

it includes a profile change so admin restart.

also, check my above comment ; wanted to verify all other tests especially the Tilt Open as I did not see that in mine.

@sjenkins  I rebooted eisy but did not reinstall your plugin then immediately tried

false,false,false tilt open but it did not do anything but things seem to work well using SSP

I also took a look at the program but it looks the same as before

[sjenkins]

@GTench  Sorry I may not have been clear.  You DO need to reinstall the plugin.  When I say Admin restart is does NOT mean an EISY reboot.  That is almost never required.  I just meant that the Admin (blue screen) needs to be closed and reopened.

With the reinstall of the plug-in the program should show the parameters. -- I made a change there.

The false, false, false Tilt open I will take another look at as it works with mine.

[GTench]

OK thanks. Did that and program looks fine now
