Dooya is 70% owned by Somfy and with Somfy’s guidance produce high quality and affordable motors for use in various applications. Dooya’s RF motors can be utilised in various applications and installed with or without running power cables. Dooya provides uni directional, bi-directional, tilt, top down / bottom up, curtains and many more types of motor applications. Dooya motors are utilised by many shade manufacturers and installation companies around the world. Some of whom rebrand Dooya as their own. Your next job may already have Dooya motors installed. What does this work for? This will work for all Dooya RF motorised devices connected to a Dooya Connector Bridge (Model DD7002B) or Dooya Mini Bridge (Model DD1554). Many manufacturers rebrand Dooya devices and rebrand it for themselves. This will work with those manufacturers as well. Motion Blinds Dooya Bloc Blinds Brel Home Hurrican Shutters Wholesale iSmartWindow Smart Home Raven Rock MFG Uprise Smart Shades Coulisse What is the difference between the different bridge models? The Dooya Connector Bridge (DD7002B) can control both bi-directional motors and uni-directional motors. The Dooya Mini Bridge (DD1554) can only control bi-directional motors. Does this work with Dooya's RS485 motors? No this driver will only work with RF motors connected to the Dooya Connector Bridge or Mini Bridge. Does this device provide two way control? This driver will provide bi-directional control and feedback over blinds / curtains that have two-way feedback. If the motor is uni directional only the driver will assume the last state sent is the current state. How doe Uni Directional Drivers work? Uni Directional Drivers have up, down and stop commands only. There is no feedback on the driver. Note uni directional motors are only supported by the Connector Bridge DD7002B model. How does TDBU Drivers work? TDBU drivers have two proxies associated. One for the top and one for the bottom. The top motor closes when it goes up and opens when it goes down. The bottom motor does the opposite and closes when it goes down and opens when it goes up. Also note that if the top motor goes below the bottom motor’s level it will force the bottom motor to move to the top motors desired level. This happens in reverse when the bottom motor goes above the top motor’s level as well. How does Tilt Drivers works? The Tilt driver has two proxies associated. One for the position and one for tilt. Note that on some motors tilt is driven by a single motor and as such tilting the louver will cause the main position to shift slightly between 95-100%. This is normal behavior How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver.

Hombre Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hello Alan. Awesome work. I am trying to figure out what to do with my configuration. I have Alta Bliss. The SSID it broadcasts is USBXXXXX. Other apps that use the SAME bridge (DD1554 Mini Bridge) haveother NEEDS via APP for the SSID broadcast. I am also trying to use wirelesstag.net withlight sensor to calcuate the sun and then have thresholds to open/close blinds. https://wirelesstag.net/specs.html#tag The Alta Bliss is closed as is and has no access to IFTTT which would have been an easy fix. I have found some github repository PLUS you chowmainsoft and drivercentral. What is the BEST way to connect these two things. I want the wireless tag to notify (via IFTTT or some other way) when to close and open blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver we wrote was commissioned by Dooya (Bliss rebadge Dooya) under NDA. You'll need to purchase a Control4 system if you want to use our integration.

J A Brandon Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Is it possible to add more than one bridge and have control4 automate both bridges or maybe five bridges ? I am looking to use the Dooya curtain motor on a office building that has 5 floors.... Please, any help on this would be appreciated.

alanchow Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Yes you can utilise as many bridges as you want. Note that this driver comes without support. If you require assistance please reach out to Dooya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
