Blinds HOMEKIT (servo or stepper motors)

[exrector]

Hello. I will repeat my question here, because this topic is closer.

Hello dear developers! Can I ask you to make examples on servo or stepper motors control? Ideally, these are blinds. PLEASE! There is no information on the internet. It is very difficult for a beginner to understand the examples of other platforms (arduino, esp8266 etc)

I used several resources and instructions:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-iot-solution/tree/master/components/motor/servo
https://github.com/maximkulkin/esp-homekit-demo/wiki/Build-instructions-ESP32
https://github.com/espressif/esp-rainmaker/tree/master/examples/homekit_switch

But I cannot merge the files. I can not. I do not have sufficient knowledge. Could you make an example for motors? This project is my dream! My dream is to make smart blinds. For this reason, I started studying your techniques a few months ago.

I have several esp32 boards.
Stepper motor 28BYJ-48 5V + driver ULN2003.
Also I have servo motor MG996R 5V
And universal driver L298N

Please make an example HOMEKIT MOTOR for which I might understand this.

@exrector , I am not sure if I understand the exact issue here.

• Is this just a problem of merging https://github.com/espressif/esp-iot-solution/tree/master/components/motor/servo into https://github.com/espressif/esp-rainmaker/tree/master/examples/homekit_switch?
• Do you have both of these working fine independently?
• Have you been able to create atleast a dummy HomeKit service for your requirement without the hardware integration? The "Window Covering" is the service you might be looking for. Have you checked that in the HomeKit specifications? It can also be emulated using this HomeKit Emulator example.

Hello! @shahpiyushv Thank you for responding

1. Project https://github.com/espressif/esp-rainmaker/tree/master/examples/homekit_switch it works well.

No way to check, we have a bug now espressif/esp-idf#5962 (comment)

I would like to use this example, but I cannot put it together into a project.

Hello @shahpiyushv
Please add a working example of blinds

[maxakuru]

@exrector I've just started working on a project for that, it's very early stages and not a minimal example, but I do have Homekit successfully reading/writing to a stepper motor connected to an ESP32 with this SDK (slightly modified)

Project is here: https://github.com/maxakuru/WBlinds
The motor and Homekit aren't coupled, but Homekit integration is here, and A4988 stepper driver controller is here (uses FastAccelStepper)

also, thanks for the SDK @shahpiyushv & espressif team!

waiting for the integration all with homekit... there is no project working ok online :(

is there anything new?
