How to do a Label with Window Shade current state? SOLVED

Questions
#1

Hi

The default tile for Window Coverings has no state information, for example is the shade Open or Closed? Or what is the percentage of the roller shutter module 0% to 100% ?

I’d like to have a label that says “Opened” or “Closed” and another label that shows be the shades current percentage.

Is this possible ?

I looked at the Contact Sensor tile it’s label has a Binding of @Device.Contact

I tried a binding of @Device.WindowShade but I get “Unknown”.

How do I know / see what @Device. objects are available and I can use ?

Thank you.

I then tried using the binding @Device.Switch instead, this kind of works.

When the blind is closed my label says “Off” and when the blind is opened my label says “On”

So how can I make the label say “Opened” or “Closed” instead.

Also I don’t know how to display the roller shutter modules current percentage.

Cheers.

EDIT:

I can do state icons:

Blinds or Curtains Opened:

Would be really nice to have the label said Opened or Closed as well.

Instead of binding the “Text” property to @Device.Switch, you can create DataTriggers to write anything you want to the label Text.
Try the following:
Remove the binding from “Text”. (you can leave blank or put something like “updating” if theres delays)
Create a DataTrigger for the different states (in this case, a DataTrigger for On and another for Off).
Example for On:

You’ll now make another DataTrigger for Off

Depending on the shades, you may have a @Device.Level which will give you %. Personally, I prefer level for anything thats variable like dimmers and shades… it could be open only 1% and say open otherwise

I have some other Switch tiles that just say On of Off now I can change them to more appropriate text.

Thanks very much.

I will try the Level next fingers crossed.

Watch my tutorial from 18:20 and you will have your answer. However you will be using a data trigger vs a multi data trigger that my example uses.

This doesn’t seem to work for the Blinds a Qubino DC Flush Shutter or for the Curtains a Fibaro Dimmer 2 module.

Should it ?

Just tried @Device.SwitchLevel instead but that doesn’t appear to work either.

I would imagine those devices spit out the level but, I do not know them so, I’m not much help there.

#8

They act just like dimmers 0 to 100 %

I’ve added a new dedicated label for @Device.SwitchLevel, I think this is setup correctly, but in the emulator I just see nothing there where this label is located.

It is @Device.Level

I still don’t know where I can find out / see the various @Device.XXXX different options I can use?

I thought they were linked to the Devices Capabilities but appears not, or they are not named the same as its capability is “SwitchLevel”

#9

@Device.Level. You solved the open / closed issue?

#10

Yes its working now thanks.

Instead of typing in “@Device…”, Try typing the actual device name and it will drop down with the different options. Once you know your options, Put it back to @Device.xxxxx
