Cbus shutter control

Hello Damian,

What module CBus do you use for controlling shutters? (model and number)
Please, give us your test project, where you try to control shutters.

Sincerely yours,

Hi Oksana,

The CBus relay is a RELDB1 - DIN Rail 1 Channel Shutter Relay. Model L5501RBCP

I managed to get an independant Up/Down/Stop working but there are still a couple of items I am having trouble with.

1) Is it possible to get real time feedback on the value/position of the blind. Presently, the feedback channel just shows 0 or 255 (or 2) dependant on the value I sent from the Up/Down/Stop buttons.

2) I still cant work out how to get a single button to perform Up/Stop/Down on subsequent presses (like if press an actual Clipsal wall button). Currently, the button you'll see in the project just cycles between Up/Down on subsequent presses.

Attached is my test iRidium project and a test CBus database.

No, CBus relay doesn't give this feedback. Only open, close and stop.

2) I still cant work out how to get a single button to perform Up/Stop/Down on subsequent presses (like if press an actual Clipsal wall button). Currently, the button you'll see in the project just cycles between Up/Down on subsequent presses.

You can do this via JavaScript only.

Thanks Oksana,

Do you have an example of the script logic I'd need?

No, I haven't. Could you describe logic of this button so we could help you with the script?

Thanks Oksana.

It still seems I have a problem with the stop function for the blind.

I had set a trigger button to 255/255 to raise the blind, another to 0/0 to lower the blind and another to 2/2 to stop the blind.

That seemed to work but I just realised that after pressing the stop button a second time i.e. blind is turning, I press stop (which correctly stops the blind) and then if I press stop again the blind starts turning again.

Can you please confirm what the values for my trigger button should be and if I have used the right logic for separate up/down/stop buttons?

Thanks,
Damian

Hello Damian,

Sorry, I can't understand: Do you use a one trigger button or several? Why do you not use a standart buttons?
Please, a test project, what do you mean.

Thank you!

Thanks Oksana,

I'm looking for advice on how I should be setting this up, if trigger buttons are wrong, what settings should I be using for normal buttons? (Currently trying to use multiple buttons.)

Have reattached the project

Cheers,

Figured this out - stop is a ramp value of 2%... not 2 !

So, three buttons, each using the shutter relay lighting command set to Ramp :
Up = 255
Stop = 5
Down = 0
