Question: When creating an automation schedule for Shades, there is no Sunrise/Sunset option like with Lights. At one point, that option was available. Is there something wrong in my configuration, or was this removed, and will it ever be available?
Sunset Sunrise schedules are not available with Shades.
Z-wave shades used to display in Alarm.com as lights, which would allow sunset sunrise scheduling.
We’ve made requests to add that as a feature for at least Z-wave shades, I believe it is not supported due to Tahoma shades included in that feature set.
So because one shade set was built poorly the rest of us can’t set up our shades the way they should operate? Why can’t scenes be scheduled to trigger based on sunrise/sunset?
Something this ridiculous is going to push me to switch to home assistant if it cant be remedied.
Also, after checking somfy’s website, they do support sunrise and sunset operations, so ADC should be able to add it.
Scenes include actions which are not otherwise supported for automation schedules based on time, such as opening and closing a garage or locking unlocking a door.
Sunset Sunrise options for shades I agree are kinda obvious and I would expect them. I have reached out to Alarm.com to check the status on this feature and if there is still anything specific holding it up or if it can be prioritized.
