Blinds sometimes not moving #5
Comments

Actually, I'm seeing the same issue on the single blind that I control automatically. I thought it was due to the distance, I cannot get a direct connection to the blind. |
|
I haven't noticed any errors in my logs last time I checked, but I'll try to monitor for logs again if it happens again. Do you also control multiple blinds at the same time? |
|
No, not at this time, it's likely that there are some problems here. |
|
I'll check today to see if there are any logs during a simultaneous send of closing covers 👍 |

I checked for logs today. All three blinds did move successfully, however there were still a couple of error messages in the logs: |
|
I've never experienced those "Error transferring, 28 bytes left in buffer" message before. I can try to increase the timeout a bit, I'm not sure how long it really takes to transfer everything. What I have seen is the "Timed out waiting for TX" message, although I'm not sure for which reason. I'll have a look, but it's going to take a couple of days. |

Thanks, a lot for looking into it! It works correctly most of the times, therefore it might also be unrelated to this issue. |

Hi @andyboeh , I tried to play around with the number of timeouts, packages to send & retries but sadly it still appears to error out ( |
|
atm, every request is sent twice within a very short time span. Have you tried setting I think that there needs to be one loop responsible for sending commands for the whole component, not per cover. And then it would be necessary to block polling covers when a cover is moving so that we don't block the radio. |

Hi @andyboeh , |

No, it's not possible to change it. The transmit power is at 0xc0 which is about maximum power (the datasheet isn't completely consistent in this regard). Toying with the Tx power is a viable option, I'll see how to get the configurable. |

Hi!
First of all thank you for creating this great component, I really appreciate it! 🙏
I'm using your component with three elero blinds. I have automations that simultaneously close & open three blinds when the sun goes down & up, but I noticed that sometimes one of the blinds will not move.
It also doesn't move when I manually & repeatedly send the command again a few times after a couple of seconds. If I wait a couple of minutes it typically works again.
Do you know if there is an issue with simultaneous control of blinds? Should I wait a certain time between sending commands or do you have other recommendations? I don't think it is a range issue, since it works most of the time and it is the "middle" blind and even closest to my ESP32.
Thanks,
Peter
