Problems with buttons

[gimprota76]

Hi, I have problems with the buttons, the setup does not work and neither does it go up and down with buttons, I have checked all the connections can you help me?

[Poggibonsi1948]

In “characteristic_types.h“ on line 33 there is a typo.
In the middle of that line just before the backslash insert a CR.
Or delete that backslash
Recompile and it should run

[gimprota76]

Thank you, I Am newbie, Can you help me ? How to recompile ?
#define HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC_CUSTOM_FACTOR HOMEKIT_CUSTOM_UUID_DBB("F0000001")
#define HOMEKIT_DECLARE_CHARACTERISTIC_CUSTOM_FACTOR(value, ...),
.type = HOMEKIT_CHARACTERISTIC_CUSTOM_FACTOR,
.description = "Factor",
.format = homekit_format_float,
.permissions = homekit_permissions_paired_read
| homekit_permissions_notify,
.min_value = (float[]) {0},
.max_value = (float[]) {30000},
.min_step = (float[]) {1},
.value = HOMEKIT_FLOAT(_value), \

VA_ARGS

#endif

You must install the SDK
Look here for a very good description

Moving .type to a new line doesn't really seem to help much.
Compilation seems to fail because of the following line:
#define HOMEKIT_DECLARE_CHARACTERISTIC_CUSTOM_FACTOR(value, ...),

Changing the line to:
#define HOMEKIT_DECLARE_CHARACTERISTIC_CUSTOM_FACTOR(value, ...),0

Only seems to break things further.
Attempted to use the main.bin from: https://github.com/AchimPieters/ESP8266-HomeKit-Venetian-Blinds

Which is a more recent comilation of what i assume is a similar compilation.
Having the exact same issue as @gimprota76, no movement from the buttons, no movement from the home app.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

[Poggibonsi1948]

For me it did the trick.Did you keep the backslash in place?If not it will not compile.Op 5 jan. 2023 om 03:52 heeft james-barker-c ***@***.***> het volgende geschreven: Moving .type to a new line doesn't really seem to help much.

The bin file is a the object file.
You need the source file and compile with the corrected typo in characteristic_types.h
I have sent this comment to Achim around a year ago and apparently he did not make any corrections and still no recompiled main.bin

[Poggibonsi1948]

Maybe try my recompiled version.
You can find it on github at Poggibonsi1948/blinds

Ciao Poggibonsi1948, sei italiano? Mi aiuti per far funzionare i tasti ?
Sono poco esperto mi serve un aiuto
Grazie

[Poggibonsi1948]

Sorry, I am not Italian and my understanding of Italian is very minimal, so if you are able to write in English, then I can communicate easier.
I kind of understood what you asked, but can you be more specific?

[gimprota76]

hello, thanks for your availability, I need an already working main.bin file and the procedure of how to write the main.bin on the esp8266 chip, I used Pieters guide, but his github's bin doesn't work, I can insert another github address with a working main.bin? sorry for my English

Fill in a different OTA repositoryPoggibonsi1948/Blinds5. OTA binary fileMain.binAnd click on joinWait about 7 to 10 minutes and find the device with Homekit appCode = 123-45-678Good luckOp 26 jan. 2023 om 13:04 heeft pwaldman ***@***.***> het volgende geschreven:Tell me what are the problemsOp 25 jan. 2023 om 08:43 heeft Paul ***@***.***> het volgende geschreven:Op 5 jan. 2023 om 03:52 heeft james-barker-c ***@***.***> het volgende geschreven: Moving .type to a new line doesn't really seem to help much.

Thank you @Poggibonsi1948 , How do you reset Wi-Fi?

[gimprota76]

HI, there is a bug if the courtain is open and I click the physical button close on homekit it appears opening if the curtain is closed and I click the physical button open on homekit it appears closing, instead of homekit works fine.
Can it be solved ?

[Poggibonsi1948]

I think that you should contact Achim Pieters for that, he wrote this program. I am not a seasoned C programmer Op 4 feb. 2023 om 17:56 heeft gimprota76 ***@***.***> het volgende geschreven: HI, there is a bug if the courtain is open and I click the physical button close on homekit it appears opening if the curtain is closed and I click the physical button open on homekit it appears closing, instead of homekit works fine.

Just change motor connection pins from 1-2-3-4 to 4-3-2-1 and motor will turn in opposite direction

[gimprota76]

thanks for the help, if I reverse the pin I also have the rotational direction reversed and it's no longer good for my courtain if I reverse the direction
