Aeon micro motor controller DSC14104

Dennis_Tegenbosch · April 26, 2015, 5:34pm

Hello,

I bought a Aeon micro motor controller DSC14104 for my roller shutters. But smartthings sees it as a dimmer. Now i think i need a custom device type, but i cannot seem to find it on this forum ( yes i tried ). At this moment it works for going up and down, but since it sees it as a switch/dimmer it will not stop half way down, like i should be able to use it.

Hope anyone can help me.

I was just messing with one of these. Have you tried putting it into button mode? In button mode it should go down-stop-up-stop with successive button pushes.

Dennis_Tegenbosch · April 26, 2015, 5:51pm

@bravenel

Yes i tried button mode. But it works perfect when i press the button on the switch, but i’d like a device type for the switch. Then i van use it in the applike i want, since it just isn’t a dimmer and smartthings only gives me the options that belong to a dimmer (on/off and ‘how much %’)

I found these commands. Will take a crack at a device controller.

UP: 0x26, 0x04, 0x60, 0x00
DOWN: 0x26, 0x04, 0x20, 0x00
STOP: 0x26, 0x05

Nice, thanks Bravenel. i’ll try to make a device type myself with these commands if theres not a existing one out there.

bravenel · April 27, 2015, 2:00pm

I should have it done this morning. Not much to it really. Just have to add the command for stop().

What are you going to do for an app?

bravenel · April 27, 2015, 3:10pm

Here is the device type for it, in Github. It has three new commands: up(), down() and stop(). I have tested it with the real device and it works. I used a modified version of Button Controller to allow one button on a Minimote to control it, where each successive button push steps through up() stop() down() stop(). After you add the device to ST, go into the IDE and change it’s type to Aeon Motor Controller.

Here are a couple of screenshots of the device:

Love these forums. Always pumping out awesome stuff!!!

crasy88 · April 29, 2015, 9:08am

Thanks Bravenel,

You just made what i was looking for, credits for being awesome also just saw your pm, sorry for the late response.
I am currently building my home, so i don’t have much time for programming or being very active.

Thanks once again, i will be using this!

I am new to smartthings, how do I use this file?

bravenel · June 17, 2015, 2:45pm

You install the custom device type in the IDE (https://graph.api.smartthings.com), in My Device Types, and Publish it (For me). Then after you have added the DSC14104 motor controller into your system, again in the IDE under My Devices, you edit its Type to be Aeon Motor Controller (that’s the custom device type you installed in the first step). After that, you will need an app to control it, such as Button Controller+, which you can find on my Github:

@bravenel I have a problem with the aeon micro motor controller. I am using your devicetype, but when i use the sunset/sunrise smartapp, i cannot pick the devicetype you made. Since i then i can only choose for switches. I have the same problem with Sharptools, which i use with tasker to let the roller shutters (which the aeon micro motor controller is attached to) go up or down on voice command. I hope you can help me

bravenel · July 13, 2015, 5:45pm

What you need to do is make a modified version of the sunset/sunrise smartapp that allows for that device type instead of or in addition to switches. The device type you need is capability.doorControl.

Another way would be to use virtual switches as intermediaries, with an app that maps the virtual switches into the motor controller.

Send me a PM if you need more help.

bravenel · July 13, 2015, 6:06pm

Since you have more than one SmartApp that you want to control the shades, this little app below allows you to use two Momentary Button Tiles (which you can create in the IDE), one for Up and one for Down. Then you can use these virtual switches in the apps that you want to control the motor controller. All of this assumes that you don’t need to use the Stop command. I haven’t tested this, but it should work. Check it out and let me know.

Note: in each case you want to turn On the virtual switch to cause the motor to run Up or Down.

@bravenel /Bruce, you are amazing!
Fast reply and a perfect solution. I tried it as soon as i came home and it works. I now also understand the use of virtual switches. it works for the sharptools & Sunset app, since it are switches now. Once again, thanks!

bravenel · July 14, 2015, 12:44am

Thanks!

Upon further thought, I just added capability “Switch” to the device type. device.on() is the same as device.up(), and device.off() is device.down(). This way, the device can be included directly into Hello Home phrases, shortcut actions, Sunrise/Sunset, and other apps where all you need is up and down functionality.

Hi Bruce,

I tested it and it works! This is indeed better since i have 3 motor controllers and thus would have 6 virtual switches. I am very grateful for your help it also gave me a better insight in how to program with smartthings.
Thanks Bruce!

from where did you get it ?
