Homebridge + Sonnoff - Roller Blind Automation

[jezzad]

Anyone managed to install or configure a Sonnoff product to control (up and down) roller blinds?

Or a similar product compatible with Homebridge?

See this video, it shows some great products that are reasonably priced.

Skip Homebridge.

Go Aqara and put it straight onto HomeKit.

Have you used the Aqaras before? I've been looking at them for a number of use cases (roller blinds, motion sensors, door contact sensors)

Only the cameras so far.

It’s on my upgrade path when I replace my blinds.

Probably the ones that pull the drawstring for you as they are much cheaper.

Their hub let’s you pull non-HomeKit stuff into HomeKit too.

Yeah have the items in my takealot cart, will start with a hub, contact sensor and blind controller... I won't have them going into home kit though, straight into HomeAssistant

Yeah would be a bit of both for me.

I use HomeKit for all things manual controlled as a “frontend” basically.

HA does automation mostly via Node Red.

Would love to do some time of day and sun location based stuff with blinds incorporating temperature too.
