Issue with Qubino Roller Shutters

Hi,

I had a similar issue with Somfy motors for curtain control. The Relay just ticks and closes directly for both directions, hence no movement could be detected. I don't think it is related to Zipato.

I solved this issue by disabling the automatic calibration and configured the Qubino to control the motor on time base.

you need to do the following:

Configuration param 74: set it to a time during which you have a full open or close of the shutters (you can even set it to longer time, anyway your motor will stop turning when it reaches either ends)

(optional) Config parma 90: set to 5s. Just to make sure that your Qubino waits 5s if receiving successive commands (open, close, open).

Hope this helps

You can also try to fine tune with Parameter 76 if you know exactly how much your motor consumes. Read the Qubino manual for more detail

Alexus,

Thanks for your advice, after you mentioned this I realized that this parameter "Motor moving UP/DOWN time" was at 0. I will try when I get back home, meanwhile I already changed to 8 seconds, will see how it goes.

If you get it to working please tell us. And if someone know any blind with feedback that works with Qubino that would be really interesting to know about!

I am planing to use a lot of this in the future and it is super important for me to have z-wave feedback of the blind posision!

My Qubino Shutter Modules work generally ok. I set param 85 (Power Consumption Max Delay Time) to 6 and param 90 (Time Delay for Nex Motor Movement) 8. Param 74 (motor up down time) is generally useless as it is equal for moving shutter up and down and none of my shutters has this time equal as moving up is always slower that down (gravity perhaps) :)

Before setting param 85 shutters generally didn't work as expected - I had to press opposite direction and then immediately my desired direction to actually move them.

Which flush shutter modules are you using exactly?

I'm using the ZMNHCD1 (230V; not sure about the software version) in combination with Somfy Oximo WT motors.

And as Alberto says, calibrating doesn't work. It goes up and down until you stop it by stopping calibration. Only setting a time with parameter 74 works.

Although I'm still on firmware 0.9.999.8e. I don't want to have to remove and add the modules again, so I rather not upgrade. Did you have to add your shutter modules again after updating to 1.0.17?

I have tried to set param 76 and 85 to 30 before calibration and then calibrate now it works fine.

does someone tell what is Size for here?

also, my shutter need 25 sec to go down, I had to set 3500 to get it work, why?

Ive got a problem with my calibration.

I have a curtain with a motor running it. When my Qubino flush shutter does the calibration (parameter 74) it goes about 80% of the distance and back to end point. So my curtains does not go all the way when i open it to 100% on the controller. Ive been trying to use the Motor up down time (parameter 78) and neither does that parameter work. Im running on firmware 1.2.29. I would appreciate some help here if anyone knows how im able to fix this.

To be honest at the end I didn't use the calibration mode, I went with the parameter 78 setting, did you sent the value manually after you sent it and also disabled calibration?

Does your motors have physical limit? most motors have a mechanical limit in order to protect the maximum and minimum limits, if these are not set up properly this will never work.

Alberto, does it work for you fine? I can see you are using time based option. Does the manual control work fine and realiable?

And do you also use manual control via switches?
