Current Products Corp (Cloud) Driver

Overview

This driver offers two-way control of Current Products Corp shades through Wi-Fi interface and its associated cloud service. Up to 50 shades and 50 groups are supported.

Supported features

Raise, Lower, Go to Level

PLEASE NOTE:

Communication with the device is via a cloud service. There will be a delay between commands being issued from RTI and action being taken. In most causes this will be less than 1 second. This is caused by the time taken for the command to go from the controller via the internet to Current Products Corp’s cloud server and then back to the Wi-Fi ginterface and on to the device motors.

This also means that the driver can be used to control any Current Products Corp device located anywhere in the world. The Current Products Corp Wi-Fi interface does not need to be on the same network as the RTI Processor. This may be useful for commercial environments where the interface is not on the same subnet as the RTI Processor.

Any feature not specifically noted as supported should be assumed to be unsupported.

Supported Functions

Individual Shade Control \

Set PositionSet a shade to a specified position, percent open
OpenSet the shade fully open

CloseSet the shade fully closed

Group Control \

Set PositionSet all shades in a group to a specified position, percent open
OpenSet the group fully open


CloseSet the group fully closed

Query \

GetStatusRequest the status of all outlets and the PDU global info.

Note that by default the GetStatus command is periodically sent according to the Status Query Interval (ms) property. Each time the command is sent the poll timer is reset meaning the polling interval is maintained

Supported Variables

Querying the status will update properties of all shades.

Shade 1-50 \

Variable NameTypeDescription

IDStringMotor ID

NameStringName assigned in the App
PositionIntegerPercentage of open

StatusStringIdentifies if a motor is online communicating to the hub

Serial NumberStringSerial number of the motor
ModelStringModel of the motor

Battery LevelIntegerPercentage battery level

Supported Events

Since every variable is updated at the same time there’s no need to schedule queries from events and a change event for one variable can be considered to indicate an update to all variables.

Given that all states must be queried events can therefore happen no more frequently than the polling interval. For example, should a user adjust a shade using the Curtains app, the change won’t be detected by the RTI system until it next queries the status which (by default) could be up to 10 seconds later.
