Hunter Douglas PowerView integration

[georgetv]

I have HD PowerView gen 3. It’s great.  I run from the HD app using schedules.   Now  I need to install window sensors so the shades don’t close when windows are open.  Creates problems. I don’t think there is a way to do this on HD app, so I must program in C4 which defeats purpose of their handy app.  Any ideas????

Hmm. The biggest issue i think is that they don't report in (well?) when using anything but C4 to control them. If they do (it's been a while since I dug deeply into the integration of HD) you could only program a counter command.

WHEN blind closes
	IF sensor is open
		delay 250ms
		open blind

Dont think there's anything in the app C4 can't do if needed, but yes the app has some ease of use.

Yes I guess I have to make a condition to run the event only if sensor is closed.   And then set up in C4 rather than PowerView. ???

Again, you'd have to test how well the bridge communicates the current status to C4. If it does this reliable and reasonably fast, you could have C4 ONLY do the back open command whenever the sensor is open. That would allow a 'permanent' sort of override by C4 per blind that will trigger regardless of whatever schedules you have set in the app. On time programming (per blind that needs it) and you can keep using the HD app if you like.

 

If it doesn't - then yes you'd have to remove any schedules from the HD app and move it over to C4.

That would be ideal. I will try that first.   The comms between the app and C4 seem pretty good….
