Somfy Bali Blinds

[Devendra_Patel]

Hi
With recent updates (not sure exact version), the Somfy Z-wave motorized Bali Shades that were recognized as dimmable switch are no longer recognized as dimmable. They get added as Z-wave switches. This means I can only term them on or off, nothing in between.

I have had to replace reset 2 out of the 7 shades so now 5 work as dimmable and 2 don’t.

Any ideas?

You can go into your ide and change it back to a dimmer switch.

I haven’t logged into my smartthings developer account in a long time . By ide, do you mean the developer IDE or is there a way to do it through the smartthings app?

Thx.

Edit the device in My Devices and change the device type to a Z-Wave dimmer (or even an enhanced dimmer device type).

@Devendra_Patel - This thread has a device handler for the shades and a smart app for managing multiple shades as a group.

[OBSOLETE] Shady - Group your shades & blinds and control as a single device

Shady is a manager app that allows you to group your binds and manage them as a single device. This SmartApp requires that you have already installed the companion device handler Shady Groups. The process for installing the SmartApp and companion device handler are in the instructions. This app also requires that you already have your blinds paired with SmartThings and setup using a dimmer like device handler. This app was inspired by TrendSetter which I think would also work for this use, however this is more specific to shades / blinds. I’ve also created a shade / blind specific device handler. I have only tested it with the new Somfy shades. The created virtual device supports On (up), Off (down), Set Level, 5 scene one of which you can customize, align top, and align bottom. [image] …
