    Hi.

    I've got a shutter relay working to control my blinds up/down. (Had to do a bit of soldering to a Somfy remote control)

    The final step is I wanted to lave the labels on the eDLT to show Closed or Opened depending on whether the blinds are up or down.

    I tried changing the label settings on the group page (1 - Closed, 2 - Opened) but the eDLT permanently says Closed.

    Is there a way to fix this? I have a PAC though I haven't used it yet. Also have PICED so I simulate code, but I can't figure out what to do.

    Hopefully it is doable and doesn't require logic.

    I have read about ways of cheating but I like the blind icons on the widget, I just want the status to update too.

    Any ideas? Thanks so much :) 20260403_210912.jpg 2026-04-0513.27.013941920581851849299.jpg

    Depends on how you set up cbus it looks like you would have to send an on (100%) command every time to pulse shutter relay 0n for both up and down you need to send an off (0%) for down.
    You could set 2 scenes in PAC one to set up relay on triggered by a blind GA On and the other scene triggered bu the same GA Off. This wont give you the state of blind if Somfy buttons were used to operate blind.
    I have attached a part off doc in Toolkit help.

    How it works
    The Shutter Open, Shutter Close, and Shutter Stop macro functions are utilised to allow end users to set the shutter to fully open, fully closed or stopped at any shutter level. For example, if an input key unit has been programmed in a three key configuration, each key would have the following action:

    § Open shutter action. When the end user presses key 1, the shutter motor operates until the shutter is fully open. The Open Shutter action terminates when the shutter level reaches the Recall 1 value or 100%.
    § Close shutter action. When the end user presses key 2, the shutter motor operates until the shutter is fully closed. The Close Shutter action utilises the Ramp Off micro function to ramp levels down and to change the direction of the level ramping.
    § Stop shutter motor action. At any time during an Open or Close Shutter operation, the end user can press key 3, which stops the motor. The Shutter Stop macro function sets the Ramp 1 value to 2%. After the shutter motor is stopped, the end user can either press key 1 or key 2 to open or close the shutter. If a shutter is fully open or fully closed, the stop shutter action cannot operate.

    Apologies, I'm not sure what any of that means.
