# Generic shading devices
|
|
|
|
This plugin allows to create generic shading devices in nymea. Such things don't have any
|
|
functionality on their own, but allow to create a visually appealing experience when
|
|
using general purpose input and outputs, such as GPIOs.
|
|
|
|
## Set-up
|
|
|
|
First, set up a thing with generic inputs or outputs. For instance from the GPIO plugin.
|
|
When done, set up the desired generic thing and use the things settings to connect
|
|
the inputs and/or outputs accordingly.
|
|
|
|
### Example: A blind on digital output GPIOs
|
|
|
|
First, set up the GPIOs to control the blind. Please refer to the documentation of the
|
|
according plugin for this. Once the blind can be controlled by nymea using the raw
|
|
GPIO toggles, set up a generic blind from this plugin and go to the settings of the
|
|
newly added generic blind. In there, you'll find a section for Input/Output connections
|
|
which can be used to connect the up/down states of this generic light to the GPIOs that
|
|
actually control the blind. The blind can now be used like any other ready-made blind
|
|
in nymea.
