Space CE Configuration: Blinds

In a Space CE configuration, the Blinds section defines motorised blinds coverings that can be controlled from the room’s touch panel. Each blind defines the device it is connected to, its control method, and optionally whether remote control from a linked room is permitted.

Config Properties:

Property:	Type:	Description:
ID	string	A unique identifier for this blind within the room configuration.
Label	string	The display name for this blind shown on the UI.
Device ID	string	The ID of the device used to control this blind. Must reference a device defined in the device configuration.
Type	string / enumeration	The relay trigger mode. Used when Control Method is Relay. (eg. Pulse, Double Pulse, Latch, Reverse Latch).
Trigger Method	string / enumeration	The relay contact type. Used when Control Method is Relay. (eg. Normal Open, Normal Closed).
Open Trigger ID	integer / string	The trigger value for opening the blind.  Notes: – For Relay: the relay channel number to activate. – For Preset: the preset number to recall on the lighting controller or DSP. – For Fader: the fader level (0–255) to set on the lighting channel. – For QSYS DSP, it uses named control for a control trigger
Close Trigger ID	integer / string	The trigger value for closing the blind. Follows the same behaviour as Open Trigger ID per control method.
Stop Trigger ID	integer / string	The trigger value for stopping the blind. Follows the same behaviour as Open Trigger ID per control method.  Note: – For Relay blinds: if this value is 0 or not defined, the system will simultaneously activate both the open and close relays as a stop command.
Control Method	string / enumeration	Determines how the blind is controlled. (eg. Relay, Preset, Fader). Defaults to Relay if not specified.  Notes:  – Relay: controls the blind via relay channel activation on a Digital IO device. – Preset: recalls a preset number on a Lighting Controller or DSP device. – Fader: sets a fader level on a Lighting Controller channel. Requires Channels to be defined.
Area ID	integer	The area or group address on the lighting controller. Required when Control Method is Preset (lighting controller) or Fader. For Dynalite it is Area number (e.g., “1”, “5”) For C-Bus it is the application number (e.g. “56”, “202” )

Additional Components:

Channels:

Channels define the lighting controller group channels used when the Control Method is Fader. Multiple channel objects can be defined against a single blind. This section is only for C-Bus and Dynalite devices.

Property:	Type:	Description:
ID	string	A unique identifier for this channel entry.
Disable	boolean	When set to true, this channel is excluded from initialisation.
Channel ID	string	The CBus Group Address or Dynalite Channel to target for fader control. (e.g. “2”)

Note: – Duplicate Channel ID values within the same blind are ignored.
