homebridge-blinds-http-state v1.0.0

homebridge-blinds-http-state

homebridge-blinds-http-state is a plugin for Homebridge to control blinds/screen via http requests. It assumes that there is no response from endpoint and no information of the state of blinds/screen so it emulates them based on the time of movement of blinds/screen from config. That way if you change the position of blinds/screen during movement it still acts normally (for example stops closing and starts opening). I baseded it on a homebridge-blinds-cmd-zh.
