Fakro window and blinds

[JolyonRoe (jolyon)]

We have installed two Fakro windows with openers and blinds. They currently work with the supplied controller but I would like to add them to the hub for some automation.

I have read through the forum and there is precious little on this subject. I am guessing I need a Device Handler. Has anyone had success with this.

Thank you

Fakro Z-Wave Window Opener

I tried this with with there skylights and found out that their window/skylight is a zwave controller, its not going to pair very nicely with ST. I even wiped out my ST setup trying, it was not pretty. I also found out their support sucks and basically limited to the knowledge in the manual. Farko is the only automated product i have regretted buying. I recently found out (yesterday) that the farko remote can be controlled with the Fortress mimo light, i’ll be hacking that together over then next few weeks. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Thank you. I am unfamiliar with Fortress Mimo but will have a look at this. Please do keep me posted.

Many thanks
