[App] Fakro

kludon · October 2016

Hi All,

I've created an App for the Fakro ARZ Z-Wave Roof Window Roller Shutter.

https://apps.athom.com/app/com.fakro

If you have questions let me know.

Enjoy!

That's really nice @kludon I was waiting for it!!
Does it also support the Fakro ZWS12 (window opener) and ARF-Z (the roofwindow curtain)?

kludon · October 2016

Not for the moment Jon. I will look at it but I don't own them so I can't test them.

Jon · October 2016

I could test these for you, @kludon! Would be more than happy to do that

By the way, I own the ZWS230 and not the 12. They are basically the same, but one works at 12 and the other at 230 Volt.

Jon · October 2016

I've tried the ARF-Z but unluckily it doesn't work with your app, @kludon. Although it looks really similar:

kludon · October 2016

Hi Jon, I think I have added ZWS support in my app in V0.0.3 Could you please test it from GitHub: https://github.com/Kludon/com.fakro

I will look also to the ARF-Z

Jon · October 2016

hi @kludon I will! But How do I install apps from Github? I've never done that before so a brief how-to is very welcome!

kludon · October 2016

Hi Jon, are you on slack ? and with what name ?

Jon · October 2016

No, I'm not (yet)

kludon · October 2016

Did you install Node.js ?

Jon · October 2016

Yes, I just did that. I've also downloaded your zip from github and unpacked that. I am on a Mac. How to continue from now?

kludon · October 2016

I'm using a windows pc hopefully it also work like the followings steps on a Mac

start node.js command promp
run: npm install -g athom-cli
run: athom login
Login to your Homey
browse to the folder of my fakro project
in de project folder run: athom project --run
go to my.athom.com en look if it is onstalled on the settings page. If it works then you see 0.0.3 and a yellow icon next to it

I am trying to run the install, but get the following screen (although I am administrator on my own laptop)

kludon · October 2016

Hmm can you start node.js command promp witd administrator rights?

Jon · October 2016

Seems not to succeed, I'm afraid. I will send you a PM.

bvdbos · October 2016

You should indeed choose to run the commandline as administrator, even though you are already an administrator on your computer...

Jon · October 2016

How do I do that @BasVanDenBosch ?

bvdbos · October 2016

Rightclick in the startmenu...

kludon · October 2016

Right click on a Mac?

bvdbos · October 2016

"su athom project --install" ?

kludon · October 2016

@Jon ; Are you going well with the app?

Jon · October 2016

Still on a short holiday @kludon. Hope to do it tomorrow (evening) to try running it as administrator.

Jon · October 2016

hi @kludon I managed to install your 0.0.3 app and I will try to install the window (chain) opener tomorrow evening!

kludon · October 2016

Thx @Jon ; hopefully it works

Jon · October 2016

hi @kludon, unfortunately it didn't work. I got stuck in the 'interviewing' step, so pressing the P button on the window opener does not do anything in the app, although Homey is about 1,5 meter from the window opener. The below screenshot is what it results into:

You van also when pressing add device choose the Homey zwave option to include your device. Then when it include a device it looks for the Right app.

Jon · October 2016

Okay @kludon, will try that. But how do I put the Fakro into the 'learning mode' as Homey requests me to ?

kludon · October 2016

See the Manual: use the include function

Jon · October 2016

okay, will try tomorrow!

kludon · October 2016

Did you do the same action when you have tried the fakro app ? Otherwise you can try that first
