    I installed a digital servo and used the default sketch.
    But i want to use some % , to control the blind .
    For example when the sun i shining : fully close, and when the sun i shining a bit i want to close the blinds for 10 % .
    How to do this in this sketch : default

    There's more than meets the eye

      That's already how the sketch works. It presents itself as a dimmer which can be set to any %. What is the result when you set the level to 10%?

        In domoticz it presents as a switch. When I change this switch to a dimmer or % blind it doesn't react. When set it back to blind control it works (only on / off)

          @the-cosmic-gate you should set it to dimmer or "blinds %" in Domoticz. That is how domoticz works. Then look at the serial port of the node if changes come in.

            That's exactly what I did :) but the %slide doesn't do anything.

                @the-cosmic-gate @the-cosmic-gate hard to say.. from what you describe it should work. Assuming you have a working connection between node and gateway. Can you post the serial log of the sensor. Put a few print statements in the receive routine to show if anything is received.

                  This is the log when i used %blinds in Domoticz

                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=2,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=fail:
                  read: 0-0-1 s=10,c=1,t=29,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
                  Servo UP command
                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:100
                  read: 0-0-1 s=10,c=1,t=30,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
                  Servo DOWN command
                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:0
                  

                  This is the log when set to dimmer %

                  read: 0-0-1 s=10,c=1,t=29,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
                  Servo UP command
                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:100
                  read: 0-0-1 s=10,c=1,t=30,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
                  Servo DOWN command
                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:0
                  read: 0-0-1 s=10,c=1,t=29,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
                  Servo UP command
                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:100
                  read: 0-0-1 s=10,c=1,t=30,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
                  Servo DOWN command
                  send: 1-1-0-0 s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:0```
                  
                  

                  The % bar doesnt function at all , cant use them
                  alt text

                  only on/off ( 0 - 100% ) works

                  There's more than meets the eye

                    did you ever find a fix for this. I've just built a servo my sensors and have the exact same issue
