The plug-in Velux MQTT will allow you to control your skylights and/or your “io-homecontrol” shutters in Jeedom via the VELUX KLF 200 interface and to control their position, raising or lowering, and stopping.
The openings must first be paired with the VELUX KLF 200 interface and it must be connected in ethernet on the same local network as Jeedom (see KLF200 documentation).
Like any Jeedom plugin, the plugin Velux MQTT must be activated after installation.
The plug-in Velux MQTT relies on official plugins Docker Management and MQTT Manager to work. If it was not already the case, these 2 plugins will be installed during the installation of the dependencies.
INFORMATION
The installation of dependencies is likely to take several minutes depending on the configurations.
An MQTT broker must be configured and active in the plugin MQTT Manager in order to transmit and retrieve the positions of the flaps. Refer to plugin documentation to use an existing broker or to create one locally in Jeedom.
As soon as the plugin daemon MQTT Manager will be active, the plugin Velux MQTT will be able to automatically retrieve MQTT broker connection information.
The configuration of the plugin consists of filling in the connection information to the VELUX KLF 200 interface :
Once the connection information for the VELUX KLF 200 interface has been entered and saved, click on the button Install VELUX MQTT to check that everything is in order and proceed with the creation of the container Velux MQTT in plugin Docker Management.
At the end of the procedure, the statutes of the docker Velux MQTT must be displayed in green with the words “running” and “CONNECTED”. If not, check the device logs Velux MQTT in plugin Docker Management.
To access the various equipment Velux MQTT, head to the menu Plugins → Home automation protocol → Velux MQTT.
The button To sychronize automatically creates the equipment corresponding to the openings listed on the KLF 200 interface in Jeedom.
Each equipment Velux MQTT has these commands :
TRICK
By default, the KLF 200 interface provides a closing percentage (100% = closed) that the plugin transforms into open percentage. If you want to return to default operation, just uncheck the box Reverse of the order State.
