Bond attached shades showing up as On/Off

[JBalog]

I have shades attached to the bond node server which are showing up as On/Off.  I would prefer them to be "dimmable" so I can set the position at a certain percentage of open as I can through the ISY.  What information do you need to make an exception?

Thanks for all your help.

I don't have the Bond node server (or Bond device) but from reading the description, this is a device that sends out individual commands that you first learn into it. To do something like you're attempting to do, you would need to use program logic to calculate the time needed between two commands to achieve the same effect. For example if it takes 10 seconds for a shade to lower and you ask to close it 50%, then send the close command, wait 5 seconds, and send the stop command. I've done similar things, using a virtual device (there's a plugin called Virtual for this) and then a program that looks for the device getting set to a percentage, and send the needed commands with timing between them. For example I've automated ordinary 3 dim level night table touch lamps this way, though for the lamps it the number of "touches" that's counted.

Does the Bond Home app show more commands than just Open or Close? Also, what is the device type up at the top of the node details in the Admin Console? A Shade should never show “On” or “Off,” but “Open” and “Close” (at a minimum).

Adding a screen grab from the Admin Console would be helpful.
