KNX and "Automatic blinds"

[Mykel]

Hello,

Maybe someone has installed KNX blinds and made them work with "Automatic blinds" function block to open/close them needed ammount according to sun position? I don't understand how can I achieve this with KNX blinds. It is all clear when using "EIB blinds" block, because there are outputs for long, short and move to position group addresses, but how can I integrate KNX into "Automatic blinds"? This is my progress so far:

What I'm, trying to achieve: there is switch in visualisation which turns on or off automation of blinds according to sun position, if turned on, the algorithm checks if current month is between 5 (May) and 9 (September), then if it is sunrise it opens blinds completely, if it is sunset - closes them completely and then throughout the day it would adjust position according to sun position to avoid direct sunlight in room. Maybe someone has examples how to achieve this and could help me?

Thank You!!

Hi

I got this working with my KNX blinds.

I've screens at home, so they close completely when the sun hits the windows specified by compass orientation of the window.

The memory flag Zomer, is activated with the Schedule with an user defined mode which has my cooling period defined.

The memory flag "Zonnewering actief" is triggered when the light sensor goes over a specified Lumen.

I use the screens also to darken the bedrooms at night, with the pulse for dusk.

Cheers

Hey,

Thank You for sharing!

It is still not very clear for me - does this way we can control blinds by position, or only close or open them completely? Because from my perspective, it just going to close completely when sun hits the window, but what if I want that they woud close 25%, or 50%?

Hi

With the controls in Loxone app, I can control outside the automatic shading period the position of the screens.

Never tried to do something automatic with 25% - 50%. Probably this should be possible, if you play around with the controls.

Kind regards
