One of the new additions to the iblinds V3 is the configuration settings that many people have been asking to have implemented. Below is the list for what each parameter does, and how to configure it.
For raw command line copy and paste:
zwave.configurationV1.configurationSet(parameterNumber: [Insert ParameterNumber here],size: 1, configurationValue:[Insert Value Range here].toInteger).format()
When using the raw command line, make sure to change “Insert ParameterNumber here” to the Parameter number below, and “Insert Value Range here” to the Value range desired below
Parameter Number | Size | Parameter Name | Description | Value Range [Value] | V3 Minimum Firmware | V3.1 Minimum Firmware |

Hubitat
To access the Preferences page, the Device Driver must be installed. Select the specific iblinds device you wish to edit, scroll down and change preferences as desired.
- Check battery level every day at *: Sets a schedule for a specific time every day to send a battery report to the hub. Do not report more than once a day; reporting more than once a day will drain the battery too quickly and will not allow iblinds’ battery to last extended periods of time.
- Close Position: Sets the default close position when the Off or Close buttons are pressed.
- Close Interval: A smaller value will decrease the loading interval between the tightened blind and the point of most resistance for the motor. Thus providing more closing power to the iblinds motor. Must be recalibrated
- The range for this preference is [16-32] and should be used carefully to avoid damage to the blinds.
- To tighten the blinds, provide a smaller value.
- To loosen the blinds, input a larger value.
- Reverse: Switches the direction of the opening/closing of the blinds.
