If you have any Rollease Acmeda ARC motors, or Turnils AMP, or Coulisse Motion Blinds, then I’d appreciate you giving this v4.7.2.1-beta a spin.
What Changed since v4.7.2
We are experimenting with a modified control signal that should have noticeably better range.
What needs to be tested
We are pretty confident that the range will be improved.
What we do not know is whether this modified control signal works with every motor model that Rollease and others have ever made.
So, if you can give it a try and report whether you are still able to do Open/Close/Stop (and SetPosition with slider if applicable) on all your motors, that would give us some confidence ahead of a planned stable release next week.
If you have a motor that works in earlier v4.7.x but fails in v4.7.2.1, it would be great to know the motor model number if it’s not too much of a pain for you to grab it. Often a photo of the motor label is enough.
Did this get incorporated into subsequent firmwares? If yes, would it have had any impact on moving a group of shades (Rollease) together ?
I upgraded my bondbridge pro from 4.5.x to 4.7.x and it seems like moving a group is a bit less synchronous. (IE in a group of 4, there’s just a tad bit delay between shade 1 starts, shade 2 starts, and then shades 3&4 start simultaneously.
I didn’t buy the bond bridge until June 2023, so I assume I don’t need to repeat the pairing process.
Thanks for the quick reply. Again, somewhat going by memory here, but I recall thinking the 4.5.x firmware was almost Lutron-like in its synchronization. Now the behavior feels a tiny bit less premium.
Checking here, actually I would NOT expect groups to have degraded synchrony. They should have continued to move together. (The caveat is that devices which previously were out of range would move slightly staggered.)
