PowerView Blind Control

[madsroge90]

Hi,
 
I have a top-down/bottom-up blind that can be controlled with a hub named PowerView. Firstly, I tried to control it with relays since, in my opinion, it is better than a wireless connection, but unfortunately, I had some problems, so I started to control it with API through the PowerView hub. I am able to control it, but I have the problem that I am using a slide control from a touch panel to set the blind position. I use an event script, and each time I slide the slider a bit, it sends an event, which results in the blind moving in many smaller steps. I would like to only have one event, which then waits 2 seconds before it reads the target position for the blind.

Event from slider:

Code:

require('user.Blind_TopDownBottomUp') require('sem') -- group address or name addr = '0/2/7' ShadeID = '63686' semaphore = sem.open('eventlock') timeout = 5 * 10 -- wait for unlock or 5 second timeout while not semaphore:trywait() and timeout > 0 do   sleep(0.1)   timeout = timeout - 1 end -- perform script actions Blind(ShadeID, addr) -- unlock semaphore semaphore:post()

Blind function:

Code:

-- blind (Top-down/Bottom-up) function Blind(ShadeID, addr)   require('ltn12')   require('json')     http = require('socket.http')     local Bridge = '192.168.1.50'   -- Blind Position     Pos = grp.getvalue(addr)     BlindPos = tostring(math.floor(Pos*655.35));         url = 'http://' .. Bridge .. '/api/shades'       res, code, headers, status = http.request(url)       -- position1 is the bottom rail and it is 0 at the bottom and 65535 at the top   -- position2 is the top rail and it is 65535 at the bottom and 0 at the top   body = '{"shade":{"positions":{"posKind1":1,"position1":' .. BlindPos .. ',"posKind2":2,"position2":0}}}'        -- Send position   res, code = http.request({   url = 'http://' .. Bridge .. '/api/shades/' .. ShadeID,   method = 'PUT',   headers = {     ['Content-Length'] = #body,     ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json',   },   source = ltn12.source.string(body) })   end

Maybe try adding steps in slider settings. You can then use arrows to change by step.

You can also check whether the object value changed after sleeping.

Code:

local value = event.getvalue() os.sleep(2) if grp.getvalue(event.dst) == value then   -- do something here end
