benm Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello, Is anyone able to shed any light on integrating a Velux KLF 200 into Control4 please? Velux appear to have a comprehensive API which is open and well documented, however I have heard (anecdotally) that it can be quite buggy so I wonder whether this is why I can't find any drivers? Alternatively, the unit can be triggered using its local dry contacts which I'm sure I could get working with the KNX Blinds Driver (the relays would be on the KNX bus) and it would be fine but obviously I wouldn't get any feedback or absolute positioning and it seems a bit convoluted. Any thoughts welcomed! Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello Ben, I just use the relays from the processor and bind them to the dual relay blind driver. you can suppress some fake feedback too and it works well, ONLY if the user operates the windows from control4 only. If they use the velux remote too then it causes things to get out of sync. Set the relays on the KLF to be hold rather than pulse, so the longer its held the more the window will open, if that makes sense. Do your setup on the KLF Web GUI and then just link the window or group of windows to 2 relays on for open and one for close. I have done many of them and they work really well to be honest with you. You could however just set the relays to pulse for open and close rather than having them hold. Thanks Muj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 That's really helpful, thank you! Out of interest, why do you hold the relay rather than pulse it? Do you then release it after an arbitary maximum travel time you've calculated, or do you leave it closed until you want to travel in the other direction? Is this how you're creating the fake feedback? Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 relay blind does all this for you, just need to set it up via the properties yep thats how im creating the fake feedback!
