Insteon Open/Close Micro Module
Hi,
could we please add the Insteon Open/Close micro module to the official list of devices supported by ISY-JS? It's a small module that can open and close shutters.
The name of the device is: (2444-222) Micro Module Open/Close v.48
Do you need any other information from me so we can get this added? Would be awesome if the HomeKit deviceType could be "Blinds" (not sure if that is the official Apple name for it but I do know that "Blinds" are a supported accessory. Otherwise "Outlet" would be the next best device type.
Let me know if you need anything else!
Here is the correct string:
{ "type": "14.1.72.0", "address": "", "name": "(2444-22) Micro Module Open/Close v.48", "deviceType": "Outlet", "connectionType": "Insteon Wired", "batteryOperated": false }
This successfully adds the Open/Close Module to Homebridge. Would you consider including it in the next release?
For now I chose "Outlet" as connection type. However, these open/close modules really are used for shutters and curtains so it should be "Blind" so you can tell Siri "open the blinds". Not sure if you can add that accessory type in the future but I know that HomeKit supports it since I have some Lutron Shades (through the Lutron Hub) that can be operated via Siri.
