Disable tilt restore for venetian blinds

[s0170071]

I am running Tasmota 10.1.0 on a shelly25. I control my venetian blinds with openhab->mqtt->shelly.
Tilt control is set up and works as described, but I found I would rather not have the tilt restored when I move the blind to a different position.
Is there any way to switch tilt restore off ?

Hi @stefanbode, I would also be interested in such a behaviour. This correction of the tilting is not quite intuitive, users are used to control the blinds with the switches in the wall.

You can use shutterbuttons and define the tilt with the pressed button. This should bring you the requested behavior. Please see documentation how to set the tilt with shutterbuttons. Works only on esp32.

Mentioned limitation to esp32 is crucial. Many devices run on ESP8266 actually, so this feature is not available for them. :-(

Yes. Might be. Shelly Pro devices are cheap and really reliable. The do work with ESP32 and are easy to flash with Tasmota. My recommendation for complex shutters.

Your recommendation to replace a device with ESP32 is not realizable in many cases, @stefanbode. People have specific devices like wall switches, which have specific dimensions, specific designs, etc. So, unfortunately, it is impossible to easily find an identical alternative with ESP32.

By the way, this is a software development discussion about Tasmota firmware, so I personally feel that solutions like "hardware replacement" or "switching to Shelly" are a bit off-topic. An eventual decision "will not be implemented" can be absolutely valid and that's enough.

You get my Shelly answer wrong. I was suggesting to buy a Shelly and flash it with Tasmota. The new Shelly has esp32 and offers these options. If you do not want to restore the tilt, isn't it easier just NOT to configure the tilt. Then you got your requested behavior.

After I did not get the results I wanted with Tasmota I tried the shelly stock firmware. Worked right out of the box.... Am 2. Juli 2024 19:22:44 schrieb stefanbode ***@***.***>:

I had a same issue and have managed to come up with workaround.

My tilt configuration is following:
ShutterTiltConfig1 -90 90 58 -90 0

I am using following rules:
#Saving Target and Tilt position in variable on Target/Tilt change
Rule1 ON Shutter1#Target!=%Var1% DO Var1 %value% ENDON ON Shutter1#Tilt!=%Var2% DO Var2 %value% ENDON

#When Tilt reaches it's end position (90 and -90 in my case) send new shutterposition command with existing target and end position that was reached
Rule2 ON Var2#state==90 DO shutterposition %var1%,%var2% ENDON ON Var2#state==-90 DO shutterposition %var1%,%var2% endon

Tilt is not restored and it remains in the end position that was reached during the movement.
Hope this helps.

As more and more people are asking for a disable option of the tilt restore I will check for it on esp32. At the end position 0 and 100 the tilt is not restored anyhow. It is only if you move from 10 to 50 ist restores the tilt that was set before.
