🔗 Interface with Hunter Douglas Platinum blinds using Javascript

node-hunterdouglas

Interface with Hunter Douglas blinds using Javascript.

Goals of this project

• Reverse engineer Hunter Douglas blind communication
• Create straightforward API for controlling blinds
• Allow easy integration with things like homebridge (see homebridge-hunterdouglas)
• Handle errors caused by the base station
• Learn a lot and have fun

Example

var hd = require("node-hunterdouglas");

var blindController = hd({
  ip: "192.168.0.xx",
  port: 522
});

blindController.setup().then(function (rooms) {

  // You should verify that "kitchen" was successfully found, but for a simple example:
  blindController.move("kitchen", 0.5).then(function (data) {
    blindController.disconnect();
  });
});

node-hunterdouglas's Issues

Auto-detect base station

My base station seems to not listen to what IP it was assigned to.

The Platinum app auto-detects the base station so that doesn't break anything. But this module should do the same so the IP changing isn't a problem.

Add support for PowerView blinds

Handle base station shitting itself

Not sure exactly what causes it, but sometimes the base station can totally crap out and doesn't provide the starting connection message.

I think this may be caused when a different connection has errored out.
