This guide focusses on the Ease blinds which are part of the HomeMaticIP system. For more information on the HomeMaticIP system in general go to the following links:
Control a shade from the app¶
Use the app to operate (open, close, stop) a blind.
Select the room containing shades.
Shades are displayed. All allows for controlling all shades at once.
After selecting the up or down button a stop button appears
To have more detailed control over a shade select the area next to the control buttons.
Sliders allow for detailed control
Automate shade movement¶
Blind automations like time and solar schedules are stored inside the blind so a schedule will always execute as long as the blind has power.
To activate blinds at a specific time (or at sunrise/sunset) they need to be put in a time profile.
Some things to keep in mind when creating time profiles:
- You can group together multiple shades in one
time profile. But only group them when they are supposed to have exactly the same schedules. - It is preferred to put shades of different height in different
time profiles. - You will keep maximum flexibility when you put each shade in a separate
time profile. But it will take the most effort managing it.

Add Blockage (lockout) protection¶
Use a door sensor to detect whether a door/window is open and prevent a shade from running into the open window or being locked outside.
Important
Lockout protection only works with shades which are on a time or solar schedule. Manual control -by remote or app- will not be blocked by lockout protection.
Make sure the sensor is powered up and have the corresponding QR code sticker available.
