[Feature Request] Slat control feature

[sin0light]

Hello,

Thank you for this plugin that works really well, I never encountered an issue. I am writing this message to request the support of a new feature.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use Matterbridge to expose my Shelly devices to Apple Homekit and I would like to be able to use the slat control feature available on the Shelly 2PM Gen 3 devices in Apple Home.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think currently the plugin does not expose the covers as "tiltable", I would like this to change to be able to use the slat control feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Thank you for your consideration, let me know if you need more details.

Hi @Luligu,
Do you know if you would like to implement this feature ?

Sure I will but I need help.

I have the device but I don't understand how the slat should work when the device is connected to a real cover motor.

Can you explain ?

Hi @Luligu,

Thank you for this. Of course, so basically what you would you is :

• Calibrate the device for the slat feature by giving "open time" and "close time", respectively the duration the blind takes to go from "close" (slat in vertical position) to "open" (slat in horizontal position) and open to close without going up or down :

• Because basically on venetian blinds, the first few tenth of seconds going "up" or "down" does not go up or down but changes the orientation of the slats then the blind starts going up or down for "real".
• By calibrating the device with the time it takes for the blind to just change the orientation before really going up or down allows to finely set the slat orientation you want.
• When this feature is exposed to Apple Home, a cursor is available in the device's setting to change the slat orientation.

Let me know if I can be of anymore help !
