| Stobag/Somfy shades on Velux gateway | Requested | Third-party shades not supported by pluginSaved copyI use this plugin for two Velux and two Stobag shades. I added the shades from STOBAG to the Velux Gateway gut they are not working with the plugin. Seems only native Velux is supported by the pluin but as Velux opened its gateway for all kind of Somfy products it would be nice they could be added.
