Somfy tilt blinds range of motion

I have a set of Somfy Roller shades. The control and integration with Google Home allows the ability to choose an open percentage.

The Somfy blinds on the other hand have Open, Preset and Closed. Can you mod the integration to follow the roller blind model? Set a percent open from 0 to 100%.

As of now best way to use that would probably be to set up the devices again in the app, but as Somfy Roller. You can change the icon in device settings. You just miss the little +/- buttons in the app, but those don’t work with integrations anyways.

To give some insight: The RTS motors don’t have a native set position command, so we deadreckon, and it gets too complicated with blinds to work well. — Newer motor technologies are/will improve on this but I know that doesn’t help you now.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I gave it a shot and the 6.6 sec travel time seems a bit fast for effective use. Also the preset position made it even more challenging.

That said, i do like your product. It does work well for my application.

Tom
