I am using the ZMatter ZWave dongle. I have installed several Smartwings roller shades with ZWave motors. I am not seeing a way to request that a shade be moved to a partially open value. The various commands (EX: Fade Up, Fade Down) will cause the shade to open completely, or close completely, but I do not see a way to request partially open?

Digging some more, I see the On command allows a % to be specified, and that is working.

@wmcneil I don't have anything like this, but would it be possible to make a program that had a "fade up" then a wait and a "stop fade"? You could time how long it would take to open a certain amount and then set that wait time.

Otherwise, would have to hope somebody else has these or other z-wave motor shades to have an idea/option to partially open/close.

@wmcneil Yes that works well. Here is what I do. I have 6 shades installed in my family room. I put them into a scene as shown below. Each shade has its "on" value set to a different integer variable in the scene. In programs, I set the values of the integer variables to various % levels as determined by the outdoor sunlight levels then the scene is run and that sets each shade to its proper opening value

Wow, that's some serious customization!.....I am using scenes as well.
