Two Shelly1 used for Blinds remote

[MAPEZ1]

Hello jmaferreiria,
thanks for the Garage Door Plugin. Works great.
After setting up my Garage, I had the idea to use your plugin also for my Rooftop blinds.
They are Velux Solar operated by KUX100 remote control with two push buttons and I'm using two shelly1. I O's of the shellys are connected to Up and Down push buttons.
openURL goes to one shelly and close URL to the other.
The state sensor is connected to the closing Shelly1
Works also great but it would be great to have it shown as 'Blinds' and not as 'Garage Door Opener'
Would it be possible to add a "service": or "type": so that it is possible to define what accessory is shown.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi @MAPEZ1,

If you know how to code that I'll be happy to accept your merge request.

Hi,
not really much, but I‘ll try and have a look at the code next weekend.
Learning is always good.

Hi,

I've been looking into this. This is not as simple as it looks because the Characteristics supported by the "Window Covering" service are a bit different.

I'm including a link to a Window Covering service example for inspiration:

Ok, sorry for late answer and thanks for the info.
I think I understand now. You mean that to do so, a ‘Platform’ is required, right?
