R_Willis Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 have this controlling my theater curtains in my theater: http://www.smarthome.com/3142/Add-A-Motor-45-80-Motorized-Drape-Controller/p.aspxDirections here (read page 2 how motor operates) http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/3142.pdfIts plugged into control4 outlet switch and linked to a six button. I had a button on six button keypad where you hit the button (LEDs are normally blue), it would either open or close the screen (while it was doing it the LED went green), and after all was done the LED reverted back to blue and all was good for the next time.It used to work, but all of the sudden one of the software upgrades or something changed how it works. I need help getting it back working. I guess I probably should have it on a variable or timer or something?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingzz Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 plug a lamp into the outlet switch and see if it turns on and off with the switch, that will tell you if its C4 or the motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Willis Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 It works, just if I link the outlet to a button on a six button and say press, (delay 11sec), press it goes into a loop.If I only do a press, then you have to press it again to turn it off, and then another press to go the other way.The curtain controller (opens/closes) on change of power state.

Matt Lowe Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 i would program like this. Manually close the shades make a macro for open and close and add this macro to any thing you want to trigger the curtains, and use the variable to track state. If curtain open is false Stopcurtain power on(variable) curtain open set to falsedelay however long it needs to openturn off power. If curtain open is true Stopcurtain power on(variable) curtain open set to truedelay however long it needs to openturn off power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
