== Information ==

Where to buy GCE IPX800v3 - http://www.gce-electronics.com/fr/57-carte-8-relais-ethernet-ip-ipx800-v3.html

The card is a Ethernet relay card.
It has :
- 8 digital inputs
- 8 relays
- 4 analog inputs
- 128 timers...

With extensions, you can have:
- 32 digital inputs
- 32 relays


IPX800v3 can control a roller shutter with 2 relays. 
- 1 relay ON/OFF
- 1 relay UP/DOWN
but it's not possible to command roller shutter to 30% for example.

The plugin can do it for you.


For my plugin, I use M2M (machine to machine - TCP socket)


== Requirements ==

You must have:
- Vera (3 or lite)
- IPX800v3
- at least a shutter connected to your IPX800v3

== Limitations ==
* UI5 only - Not tested on UI4
* Works only with GCE IPX800v3 with firmware over 3.05.00


== Plugin installation ==

1. Upload attached files
2. Restart LUUP engine
3. Create device: "Apps > Develop Apps > Create device"
 Fill in these fields:
 * "Description": a name for the device
 * "Upnp Device Filename": "D_WindowCovering1ipx.xml"
 * "Upnp Implementation Filename": "I_WindowCovering1ipx.xml"
4. Restart LUUP engine
5. New device has been created and now, you have to configure it.

== Plugin Configuration ==

1. Go to the tab "Control"
2. Define the cycletime of your roller shutter. Cycletime is the time in seconds the shutter moves the down position to the up position. (0% to 100%)
3. Define GCE IPX800v3 IP adress
4. Define GCE IPX800v3 Port M2M (machine to machine) (default 9870)
5. Define the ON/OFF relay number (1 to 32)
6. Define the UP/DOWN relay number (1 to 32)
7. Restart LUUP engine

It's done.

Now, assuming that you have a push button connected to your IPX (which is not necessarily required for the plugin but it is more convenient for local orders), you must configure your IPX it sends a command the Vera whenever you press the PB.

To do this, go here: http://<IP_IPX>/protect/settings/push1.htm
Select the entry for your BP wired (for example 5)

Then enter in the server field the IP of your VERA.
Port: 3480
Enable push ticked then SAVE
In Push1:

/data_request?id=lu_action&!DeviceNum=<DeviceID>&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:WindowCoveringipx1&action=BP_IPX

<DeviceID> replace the ID number of the module created earlier in the Vera. (wrench / Advanced / ID field)

For initializing the plugin, make an OPEN or CLOSED command and wait 2 cycletimes.
Now, you can use your roller shutter like a Fibaro FGR221 :)
