Open, close and stop blinds or covers

Open the device controls

Open the blind or cover from your home’s device list. On supported devices, you will see Position, Open, Close, and Stop. Moving is a reading, not a command.

1. Open Home or Devices and choose the blind or cover you want to control.Open
2. Confirm that the device page shows the current reported position or another live reading before you act.
3. Use Open to start opening, Close to start closing, or Position to set a supported target percentage.OpenClosePosition
4. Use Stop if the cover is already Moving and you need it to stop.Stop

Request movement

Open, Close, and Position send movement requests to the device. Waiting for the motor’s report means the command is still being handled. Change not confirmed means ALYT did not receive the evidence needed to call the request complete.

1. Choose Open when you want the cover to start moving open.Open
2. Choose Close when you want the cover to start moving shut.Close
3. Choose Position and set a supported value only when you want a specific opening amount.Position
4. If the cover is already Moving, choose Stop and wait for the device to finish reporting.Stop
5. Do not send the same movement repeatedly as a connection test.

After the movement finishes

Wait for the device to report back before you trust the result. The current reported position can lag behind a hand-moved cover until the motor sends another report. If a routine uses the cover, make sure the current reported position is correct before you rely on it.

• If you see Waiting for the motor’s report, keep the device in view and let the motor finish.
• If you see Change not confirmed, check the cover itself before trying again.
• If the cover was moved by hand, wait for a new report before using automation.

Curtain 3 calibration

When Calibration needed appears, open More, then Configuration. If the exact motor and owning hub support setup, follow the guided sequence in order: Start opening, Fully open, Start closing, Fully closed, and then save the result. Calibration saved appears only after fresh valid readback.

1. Open More, then choose Configuration.OpenConfiguration
2. Stay beside the curtain and follow the guided direction step.
3. Confirm the curtain is fully closed when asked, then choose Start opening.Start opening
4. Stop at the point that should be Fully open.StopFully open
5. Continue with Start closing and stop at Fully closed.Start closingFully closed
6. Wait for Calibration saved before leaving the setup.

When setup is not available

If Configuration says Calibration update required, your current hub does not offer that wizard for this motor. Preserve the existing limits and follow the displayed recovery instead of trying unsupported actions. Paired motors never inherit support or calibration from one representative motor.

When the cover does not respond

If the device is unreachable, check its power and connection first. Then use Reconnect where it is offered. If the page still shows Change not confirmed, or the reading does not match the cover’s real position, stop and check the device in person.

1. Check the cover’s power and connection.
2. Use Reconnect if the device page offers it.
3. Review the device page again for the current reported position and the latest command result.
4. If the problem continues, leave the cover alone until it reports again.
