The wired QMotion shades with QIS module should be controlled via RS232-RS485 interface, no need for ZigBee at all.

Crusty, I have my new QIS roller shades, all POE, running into the QIS comms Hub. I bought the following adapter in the attached photo:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196AO1IG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In terms of wiring, It's going from the Qmotion hubs RJ-45 into the adapter (shown in the photo) and then to an EA-3 via Serial port 1 - (using a serial to Aux 3.5m jack)

Given it's going into an EA-3, and i read somewhere that it needs an external 5V power source and that power should be attached to terminals 5 & 6. True?

I'm trying to figure out the wiring part of this from the RJ-45 to the DTech adapter and which terminals need the power. 

Any words of wisdom here or do you know of any documentation that could help me out?

Thank you! 


 

I recently installed a set of QMotion QIS Roller shades. They are hardwired (CAT5) and powered into the QMotion Power / Comms Hub found here:

From what I can gather, there are two RJ-45 ports on the control hub. Control4 doesn't support communication with the shades over these RJ-45 ports, correct?

From what I've been told, those RJ-45 ports need to be converted somehow to RS-232? Is this true?

If so, would this piece of hardware work?

If not, has anyone else tackled this kind of integration?
