Automatic Shading blinds with manual light/ and wind-sensor

Hello

I have 6 blinds at home on different sides of the house.

I also have a lux meter (light), windsensor and rainsensor. I want an easy way to configure blinds going down/up based on values from the light/sun/wind sensor.

When I set them in automatic mode none of my sensors are incorporated into the whole calculation to bring the blinds up/down.

If I try to create my own schedule for this it becomes very complicated.

Has anyone solved this?

Thanks

Hi Erik

Normally your Intelligent Room Controller ‘Qs’ output would be linked into the ‘As’ input on the blinds block. This will trigger automated shading if ‘sunshine’ is too high (this is the measure of solar irradiation from the weather service). The blind will then look at its compass orientation to decide if the sun would currently be at that face of the window.

If automatic mode is triggered from the blinds block in the app this will ignore current sunshine and just trigger shading if the sun would be at that face.

To do what you would like I would recommend creating some custom logic for sunshine greater than x AND wind less than y etc… then fed into the As input on the blinds block.

Hey Hugh.
Really appreciate your answer.
About Using Intelligent Room Controll ‘Qs’. Is this not only for room temperature? In my case I find that the room temperature is a slow way of changing the awning up or down.

Regarding the custom config:
I have made custom logic that too much wind, rain or Cloud connect to a Shading Overview block on the ‘Sp’ input for shutdown command. Whats your opinion on that?
