schellenberg_usb Home Assistant Component

Home Assistant component that interfaces with the Schellenberg Usb Funk-Stick.

Warning

This integration is not affiliated with Schellenberg, the developers take no responsibility for anything that happens to your devices because of this library.

Features

• Supports blind movement Up, Down, and Stop
• After calibation, position tracking is possible.

Installation

Step 1: Download files

Option 1: Via HACS

Make sure you have HACS installed. If you don't, run wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash - in HA.
Choose Integrations under HACS. Click the '+' button on the bottom of the page, search for "schellenberg usb", choose it, and click install in HACS.

Option 2: Manual

Clone this repository or download the source code as a zip file and add/merge the custom_components/ folder with its contents in your configuration directory.

Step 2: Restart HA

In order for the newly added integration to be loaded, HA needs to be restarted.

Step 3: Add integration to HA (<--- this is a step that a lot of people forget)

In HA, go to Configuration > Integrations. In the bottom right corner, click on the big button with a '+'.

If the component is properly installed, you should be able to find 'Schellenberg USB' in the list. You might need to clear you browser cache for the integration to show up.

Select it, and the schellenberg usb integration is ready for use.

Step 4: Pair your devices

1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings > Devices & Services
2. Find the Schellenberg USB integration and click on it
3. Click the + button or select Pair device from the menu
4. Put your blind motor into pairing mode (see Device Pairing Instructions)
5. Once pairing is successful, provide a friendly name for your blind

Step 5: Calibrate your blinds

Calibration is essential for accurate position tracking. The integration measures how long it takes your blind to fully open and close, allowing it to calculate the current position during operation.

Important

This calibration is not the same as setting the end positions (fully open/closed limits) on your blind motor. End positions must be configured directly on the device itself using the motor's built-in adjustment features or a Schellenberg remote control before using this integration.

Starting Calibration

You can calibrate a blind:

• During initial pairing: After naming your device, you'll be prompted to calibrate
• After pairing from the device page: Go to the device and click the Calibrate gear icon (⚙️) as shown below

Click the gear icon labeled "Calibrate" in the top right corner of your blind device to start calibration.

Calibration Steps

1. Step 1 - Close the blind: Ensure your blind is fully closed (all the way down). Press Next when ready.

2. Step 2 - Measure open time:

   • Press Start in the dialog
   • Then press the open button on your physical remote/control
   • The integration will automatically detect when the blind starts moving and begin timing
   • Wait for the blind to fully open - the timer stops automatically when movement stops

3. Step 3 - Measure close time:

   • Press Start in the dialog
   • Then press the close button on your physical remote/control
   • The integration will automatically detect when the blind starts moving and begin timing
   • Wait for the blind to fully close - the timer stops automatically when movement stops

4. Complete: The integration will display the measured open and close times and save them for position tracking

Tip

There's no need to rush when pressing the buttons - the timer doesn't start until the integration receives a "moving" signal from the blind motor.

Note

If calibration times seem incorrect, you can recalibrate at any time from the device options.
