homebridge-mysmartblinds-bridge

Homebridge plugin which communicates with MySmartBlinds through the MySmartBlinds Smart Bridge.
Configure your blinds and bridge with the official iOS or Android app first in order to use this Homebridge plugin.

This plugin is not affiliated with the MySmartBlinds product.

Features

1. Uses bridge to auto-detect all blinds setup in the MySmartBlinds app, no need to specify each blind
2. Supports blind percentages
3. Shows battery level for each blind (updated only when blind is open/closed)
4. Issues a low battery indicator if battery is below 20%
5. Logging (via Homebridge) of all actions done
6. Blinds can close down or up (via config option)
7. Polling so that blinds update if changed outside of HomeKit

Notes

1. Use the 'MySmartBlinds' app to calibrate a blind if it is not opening perfectly straight
2. If switching to closeUp it's best to Open all blinds first and then restart Homebridge
3. If you see duplicate blinds, make sure to delete any 'disconnected'/invalid blinds within the iOS/Android app. (see #23)
4. Polling Interval will be ignored if the (auth0) API Rate Limit Policy is reached
