The ESPSomfy RTS device supports a maximum of 32 shades, blinds, or draperies. So if you live in a glass house don't throw rocks make another device. You can also modify the code to increase the SOMFY_MAX_SHADES value but you will eventually run out of memory on the ESP32. So stop being so cheap and build another $12 device.

It needs a bit of information about each of one it is controlling as well as any other means of controlling them. This will ensure that the shade positions are always in sync. Up is up and down is down and any position in between is a percentage of down. So if you are used to the percentage of up translation from others, then get used to a percentage of down. No matter what position I am in, I cannot square a percentage of open in my mind. It doesn't work in my mind.

No matter if I am standing on my head or in any other position, I cannot square a percentage of open in my mind. It doesn't work, 100% is not open and 0% is not closed. I just can't convince myself of that backwards logic any better than I can convince myself that I look great in a turtleneck. So before you submit an issue that it is backwards just don't. Then ask yourself if you remove the shade completely... is that 100%. If it is you need help.
At this point it is probably beneficial to provide a little bit of a glossary. At this point it is probably beneficial to provide a little bit of a glossary.
