I’ve found the empty devices folder. Now I need to create a json with any name in it, paste the content. Then in deConz right clock on the device - Edit DFF. Then click open, open the saved json and the select hot reload.
Is that correct? Anything else I need to do? And is there a similar thing for Tredansen (there I don’t event get battary reported it seems, but the cover percentage which is missing for fyrtur…)?
Can be enought, just need to be sure the status in the DDF is set to “Gold” (to not have to set more stuff) and restart deconz, the DDF will be used at next start.
hen in deConz right clock on the device - Edit DFF.
Can be done to check if it’s working, on the editor title you will see the path and file used (to compare)
But I have no gui runable at my deconz installation I’m headless.
Can I add a new .json file to /usr/share/deconz/devices/ikea or change the existing one called “kadrilj_blind.json” with your code from the github issue and restart deconz to add it?
Ofc, you just need a text editor to use DDF.
The difficulty depend of the OS.
There is 2 folders to put DDF
All DDF provided directly with deCONZ typically reside in /usr/share/deCONZ/devices/ on a Linux system and are loaded first. However, files residing in the home directory of the user running deCONZ (e.g. /home/<DECONZUSER>/.local/share/dresden-elektronik/deCONZ/devices) will override the pre-packaged files to allow users to amend and keep their own files if desired.
On HA it’s harder because the first folder is not persistent and the second folder is hidden How to add/edit a DDF on Home assistant using text editor?
So for you no choice, you need to install DDF on the folder in “data” to overwrite the official deconz one.
I changed only the Bronze status from the existing DDF and after restart the blind is back.
I had to reinclude the devices that iobroker can change values to deconz.
The bri value and lift value is not updated with newly added blinds.
As far as I saw, deconz lost the connection to the blinds after restart deconz service.
Is that known?
I think it s better to separate them.
I haven’t the device on my side, so I can’t finish this story, but I will report the issue, too much user with it issue, not something normal, but I think the final solution will be 2 DDF and not a mixed one.
