Slide by Innovation in Motion

Plugin for Slide by Innovation in Motion.

This plugin uses the local API (beta).

For a Domoticz plugin that uses the cloud API see:
http://github.com/lokonli/slide-domoticz

⚠️ Note:
You can't use local API and cloud API simultaneously!
If you activate the local API on your slide the Slide App won't work anymore.

Version

This is beta release 0.4.

Slide setup

First configure your slide using the Slide app for your own WiFi network.

Switch to local API on your slide by pressing the reset button twice within 0.5 sec.

The reset button is in the hole left of the power connector, when you have the orange slide label on top.
The LED, right of the power connector, will flash a few time to indicate your slide switched to local API mode

Write down your device code. You need it during plugin configuration. The Device code are the 8 characters printed on top of your Slide.

Installation

Go to the Domoticz plugin folder.

cd domoticz
cd plugins
