Good morning. I have just upgraded from an old 994 to eisy. One of my needs is to bring the Hunter Douglas blinds to the eisy. I just ordered 4 HD blinds to get started, I was told I don't need to get a HD hub and that their (HD's app) would control them from my phone. What I'm hoping to do is to use your add-on to control the blinds from eisy. Could someone give me a detailed instruction as to how to make this work. I have not added any add-ons to the eiesy yet, so I need instructions on how to ad an add-on too.

What communications technology do the blinds use? IP, zigbee, zwave?

Hi @aLf ,

When they told you that you don't need a hub they are technically right, the blinds will communicate with the app on your phone by bluetooth. You will have to be in the room to make it work and cannot do any kind of automation unless you leave your phone in the room. The gateway does two things; it links the blinds to the cloud ; it also gives us a platform to talk to the blinds locally. If you want to use the plugin to connect your HD blinds to the EISY you need to have at least one gateway. If your blinds are in rooms/floors with some distance you may need more than one gateway. I have three. They talk to each other so the plugin only talks to one, which by some magic is decided to be the master. Take a look at the UD documentation on EISY and plugins for general knowledge. If you want to read up on my plugin before you have the hardware ; the github is here https://github.com/sejgit/udi-hunterdouglas-pg3 the README and POLYGOT_CONFIG.md will get you a long way. Come on back here with your questions.
