Shutter button halfway, I need an idea

---

I want to let go with a button the shutter to a certain position.
So needless a button and a rule for control.
I how I could do it that I do not know. Can anyone help?
Perhaps several positions are possible? two or three?

Hi. I use a dummy dimmer device to control my shutters. Its the easiest way.
Cheers

@dk00000
Can you please provide an example device, so it’s easier (just to copy and paste )

@dk00000 Can you tell me how to do it? Best step by step.

@leader21

its press Buttonx then press roll1-up and after 1 sekund  press roll1-stop

I think the up-function i better to adjust.

Check this: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/364/virtual-device-to-controll-a-lot-of-real-devices/2

My device is a fibaro z-wave roller shutter switch

@dk00000 At first glance it looks complicated. I’ll watch me tomorrow times more accurate. thanks

Is it so that i need a DummyButton for every function of shutter? So i need 3 dummybutton for 1 shutter and when i have 5 shutter, so i need 15 dummybutton?
This is not so good.

Edit:
Oh, now I have found out how to do it.

• first a new ButtonDevice

{
      "class": "ButtonsDevice",
      "id": "rollButton3",
      "name": "",
      "buttons": [
        {
          "id": "rollbutton3",
          "text": "Dummy"
        }
      ]
    },

• then the Rule for it

if Dummy is pressed then press roll3-down and after 15000 ms press roll3-stop

You could use an array for the dummy button. So you will still have 15 buttons but only 5 devices. for each shutter one device with three buttons or as many as you like. Can post an example later if you want to.

@leader21 Perhaps an example would not be bad. I do not know what is an array.

Now I have test the DummyDimmer.

{
      "class": "DummyDimmer",
      "id": "Dummy-Dimmer",
      "name": "TestDimmer"
    },

Is it possible to use this similar as a lamp? So that the shutter goes to the position where the slider stay. For that its necessary that the Pimatic know after with time are 100%. But is it possible to make that?

@Thrusty

just have a look here :
http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/658/shutdown-reboot-pimatic-restart-command-buttons

having a buttons device with three buttons for restart/reboot and rules according to the buttons.
hope this helps!

@Thrusty
Create 2 variables one with the time the shutter needs for a full close, one with the last state of the dimmer
Then create a rule which is called when the dimmer changes. compare last state with new state divide this with the full time, press the shutter button and after the calculated time the stop button and then make last state to the new state

Tried it, but gave up because if the difference from last and new state is negative the down button must be pressed and if positive the up button must be pressed.

Perhaps one of our script experts can help you.

@leader21 Thats is a nice option for pimatic. I had install it before few days. But thanks.
