Configuration

Add the accessory in config.json in your home directory inside .homebridge.

    {
      "accessory": "BlindsCMD2",
      "name": "Window",
      "up_cmd": "/path/to/script up",
      "down_cmd": "/path/to/script down",
      "stop_cmd": "/path/to/script halt",
      "motion_time": 10000,
      "response_lag": 0,
      "trigger_stop_at_boundaries": false,
      "verbose": false
    }

motion_time is the time, in milliseconds, for your blinds to move from up to down. This should only include the time the motor is running.

response_lag is an optional parameter used to improve the calculation for setting a specific blinds position. It takes into account the delay of the device you are using control the blinds (RF transmitter or otherwise). This is useful since it will do a better job of not under/overshooting the target:

success_codes allows you to define which HTTP response codes indicate a successful server response. If omitted, it defaults to 200.

trigger_stop_at_boundaries allows you to choose if a stop command should be fired or not when moving the blinds to position 0 or 100. Most blinds dont require this command and will stop by themself, for such blinds it is advised to set this to false.

verbose is optional and shows getTargetPosition / getTargetState / getCurrentPosition requests
