New PGN Proposed - Window Shade Control
Proposed:
PGN set for window shade motor control including:
WINDOW_SHADE_CONTROL_COMMAND requested PGN 0x1FEDF
WINDOW_SHADE_CONTROL_STATUS requested PGN 0x1FEDE
Edit:
The following changes have been made to the Window Shade Control.
- Byte Numbering has been changed to 0 – 7 (Following comments reflect this change)
- Status Byte 0: Instances are available up to 250
- Status Byte 1: Updated to show field described group membership
- Status Byte 2: Now labeled as a Percent with reference to the correct table
- Status Byte 3: Exception Status bits have all been changed to Bit2 flags. These now exist on byte 3 & byte 6. Terms were also updated to ‘Forward & Reverse’. This describes the status of the motor running the shade as opposed to the direction of the shade movement
- Status Byte 5: The available last commands have been listed as well as a separate table explaining each command.
- Command Byte 0: Instances are available up to 250.
- Command Byte 1: Node Groups explained in addition to master groups.
- Command Byte 3: Available commands listed and explanation table referenced.
- Command Byte 3: Additional command “Tilt” added and explained.
- Command Byte 5: Momentary operation explained.
- Command Byte 6: Interlock function explained as a bitmap.

WINDOW_SHADE_CONTROL_STATUS Byte 0 - Why the limit of 124 Instances? Byte 1 - A single Instance can't speak for a group. Shades from the same group may have differing status values, since shades may belong to multiple instances. I believe this field needs to be removed. Byte 4 - These should be broken up into separate flags. Terms like "Locked" need some explanation. "Up" and "Down" are ambiguous - don't some shades go sideways? Byte 8 - There is no Byte 8. WINDOW_SHADE_CONTROL_COMMAND Byte 0 - Why the limit of 124 Instances? Byte 1 - What is a "node group". How does it differ from a "master group". Byte 4 - There seems like a bitmapped variable. Do you want to make the bit meanings explicit? Also "0x41 - 41" should be "0x41 - Down", I bet. Byte 6 - Explain "Interlock".
