Automatic blinds behaviour

[Mykel]

Hello,

I want to ask a question about loxone function block "Automatic blinds". If I set "type" in the parameters to 1, the parameter "autopilot mode" disappears, why? Also, if the type is 1 (shutters/roller blinds) will the output be in percent, or fully down and up in automatic period?

For roller blinds in auto mode they are either up or down (the amount down/closed can be limited by the Tr parameter, eg if Tr is set to 0.8 the blinds will be either open or closed 80% when in auto mode

Okay, got it, thanks! Now I have some other questions. I have a virtual input from loxone which activates/deactivates automatic shading. Basically what it does is when it is turned off, it turns on the "AD" which does not allow automatic shading, and when it is turned on it resets shading with "AR" and activates it via "AS", other functions are like for sunset/sunrise to open/close blinds completely. Now I need to know the behaviour of the roller blinds when the input "AS" is set to on. Does it automatically close the blinds with respect to parameter "Tr" or does it first check if there is sun in the particular window? I ask this because I want to integrate IRC to the function block, so when the temperature rises above setpoint blinds would close completely, but the loxone documentation suggest linking IRC and automatic blinds block to "AS" input, so let's say if the input closes blinds not taking account the sun position, it wouldn't be very logical, because the room wouldn't get cooler with closed blinds if there was no sun shining in the room to begin with.

if you link the IRC to the AS the blinds are only triggered to close when the sun is within the appropriate angle, not necessarily immediately

Thank You so much, you have helped me very much! I have another question, but it is a bit out of this topic. Is it possible to do this in loxone: we have a virtual input (on/off, or in other words digital) and 2 other virtual inputs (analog) and let's say if the digital one goes to 0, then analog inputs show up on screen and if it goes to 1, they hide from the interface. Maybe we can manipulate the parameter "Use in interface" somehow? Thanks in advance!

unfortunately im fairly sure its not possible to manipulate the visibility of items without uploading a new config file -

Thank You for information!
