    @patchmaster This is my current curtain control sketch. I work with the development branch, so the syntax can be a little different.

    The Accelstepper library gives you all the abilities to slow start/stop with numerous kinds of steppers.
    My sketch includes a calibration function (stored in EEPROM) so the you don't need end stop detection (a stepper knows where it is)

    @AWI Thanks. I have been using the Accelstepper library, but this has already given me several other ideas.
    I appreciate the help.

        @Tore-André-Rosander are you using the development branch? The errors seem to indicate that is the case.

          @AWI Thank you, that helped :)
          I now have it up and running.

          But how do i connect and use this with a controller (like Domoticz)?

          I use an ESP gateway (from the dev branch) and the curtain node is connected and showing up in domoticz.
          But how do i make domoticz send commands to the curtain node?

          All i get when adding the curtain node both as on/off button and blinds in domoticz is "unreconized" in the curtain serial monoitor.

            @Tore-André-Rosander I have defined it as "Blinds Percentage" in Domoticz. This send the V_STATUS and V_PERCENTAGE messages where the node should respond to...

              @AWI THanks again for your fast replys!

              This is what i get in serial monitor when i use the "up" "down" buttons for blinds percentage in domoticz.

                @Tore-André-Rosander Nothing wrong with you interpretation. I have not written this sketch as a complete S_COVER implementation. Only the V_PERCENTAGE part (not V_UP/V_DOWN). If you define it in Domoticz as "Blinds percentage" (see my previous post) it will work. Sorry for the confusion.

                  @AWI Seems like my problem is with Domoticz itselfe.
                  I have the same problem as described in this post https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7748

                    @Tore-André-Rosander You can probably solve it by deleting the sensor in Domoticz and let the sketch present itself as S_DIMMER (and use another sensor id)

                      Maybe its because i have not calibrated it? I dont have any pushbuttons laying around, so im gonna make one with some wires. But i see that there is two pins defined as buttons. Should i use the buttonPin1 as VCC?

                      So it would look something like buttonPin1 -> buttonPin2 -> button -> gnd?

                        @Tore-André-Rosander You can ignore buttonpin2. Just connect your "button" to buttonpin1 and ground.

                          Looks good. I am curious to see the details... jealous for the speed :runner: your curtain is moving.

                          I have been working on a similar project last week. The mechanics and ´looks´ are the most difficult part for me.

                          For now I have used a ´tuned´ cheap & small stepper which makes it slooow but effective ;-) The rail and mounting is standard IKEA. The pro-mini has the jModule attached. Works like a charm (/snail)!

                          @AWI I'm curious where you got the rails for the curtain. I wasn't been able to find them, but stumbled on this topic.

                                I'm currently working on a similar project, only I got started with 24V DC motors that I got from my work (left overs from a test project) These motors are very strong (way way over rated) and have a big gearbox what unfortunately makes the movement a bit slow.
                                I started off with 1 motor to move 2 curtains at the same time, but will change this to 2 motors for either side since the better half of me likes to control the curtains separately in case she only wants to close 1.
                                Next to the automation there will also be a manual control switch be hidden behind the curtains in case the node is down and I'm not at home to fix the issue...
                                all running on an ESP8266 (ESP-12e) unit to have it over WiFi and have enough io

                                Currently the test setup is working fine and I'm ordering parts to start implementing this a bit bigger in the first room. the test setup I made with some old wood 1 meter of rail and a few old rugs as curtains...

                                I use a GT2 timing belt that is commently used for 3D printers and pully's are widely available as well as the belts in different lengths (I order them on rolls of 10 meters) and attached the timing belt to a carriage that is normally to pull the curtains with a rod.

                                the motor is mounted on a bracket with currently 2 end stop switches for open and close (but will be 1 switch for open and 1 for close in the final solution)

                                resulting in driving the curtain from 1 side

                                electronics are working fine now and need to be ported to a test print and later to a real PCB design

                                  Hello.

                                  To my project i use stepper motor JK42HS34-0404 and driver L298N.

                                  This is a wiring diagram.

                                  When the program I have uploaded to my mysensors, the engine still turns, one left and one to the right and did not work the button blinds in Domoticz.

                                  I cant turn off my stepper motor in Domoticz.

                                    I write a program on library Stepper not AccelStepper.
                                    Now is working.

                                    Program code:

                                    // Enable debug prints to serial monitor
                                    #define MY_DEBUG 
                                    
                                    // Enable and select radio type attached
                                    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
                                    //#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
                                    
                                    // Enable repeater functionality for this node
                                    #define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE

                                      your wiring diagram is not accessable:
                                      Error (403)
                                      It seems you don't belong here! You should probably sign in. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home.

                                      i use a DC motor so can't help with stepper motors, but can you share an image of how you setup your rails?

                                        Now the wiring diagram should be visible.
