Setup
During the setup of a Motionblinds Bluetooth motor, you will be asked what kind of blind you have. There are 8 different blind types:
- Roller blind: has the ability to change position and speed.
- Honeycomb blind: has the ability to change position and speed.
- Roman blind: has the ability to change position and speed.
- Venetian blind: has the ability to change position, tilt, and speed.
- Venetian blind (tilt-only): has the ability to change tilt and speed.
- Double Roller blind: has the ability to change position, tilt, and speed.
- Curtain blind: has the ability to change position. May need to be calibrated if the end positions are lost, which can be done by using the open/close cover button or the set cover position slider. This will trigger a calibration which will first make the curtain find the end positions after which it will run to the position as indicated by the command that was given.
- Vertical blind: has the ability to change position and tilt. May need to be calibrated if the end positions are lost, which must be done using the Motionblinds Bluetooth app.
Entities
The following entities are available for a Motionblinds Bluetooth device:
- Cover entity: depending on the blind that was chosen during the setup, this entity has a slider that makes it possible to change position and tilt, and buttons that allow you to open the blind, close the blind, tilt it open, tilt it closed and stop it.
-
Button entities:
- Connect button: allows you to connect to the blind.
- Disconnect button: allows you to disconnect the blind.
- Favorite button: allows you to move the blind to the favorite position.
-
Select entities:
- Speed select: allows you to change the speed of the motor to low, medium, or high. Available for all blinds except curtain blinds and vertical blinds.
Services
Since Motionblinds Bluetooth motors require a Bluetooth connection to control them, Home Assistant does not get automatic updates of the motor’s state by default. Therefore, you can use the homeassistant.update_entity service on any entity belonging to a Motionblinds Bluetooth device, which will connect to your Motionblinds Bluetooth motor and update the state of all entities belong to that device. However, be aware that doing so may impact battery life.
This can also be automated using a YAML automation. For instance, the following automation connects to your Motionblind every 24 hours to update its state in Home Assistant:
alias: Motionblinds Bluetooth polling automation
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
hours: "/24"
action:
- service: homeassistant.update_entity
target:
entity_id: cover.motion_shade
