If the supplied credentials are correct, the automatic discovery can be used to scan and detect roller shutters, awnings, switches and action groups that will appear in your Inbox.
To retrieve thing configuration and url parameter, just add the automatically discovered device from your inbox and copy its values from thing edit page. (the url parameter is visible on edit page only)
| venetian blind, adjustable slats roller shutter, bioclimatic pergola | orientation | percentual orientation of the blind's slats, it can have value 0-100. For IO Homecontrol devices only (non RTS) |
| venetian blind, adjustable slats roller shutter | closure_orientation | percentual closure and orientation of the blind's slats, it can have value 0-100. For IO Homecontrol devices only (non RTS) |
| adjustable slats roller shutter | rocker | used for setting the rocker position of the roller shutter, the only position allowing the slats control |
| action group | execute_action | switch which reacts to ON command and triggers the predefined Tahoma action |
| onoff, light | switch | reacts to standard ON/OFF commands |
| dimmer light | light_intensity | sets/gets intensity of the dimmer light or ON/OFF |
| smoke sensor, occupancy sensor, contact sensor & water sensor | contact | normal value is CLOSE, changes to OPEN when detection triggered |
| smoke sensor, occupancy sensor, contact sensor & water sensor | sensor_defect | indicates the health of the sensor (dead, lowBatter, maintenanceRequired, noDefect) |
| smoke sensor | radio_battery | maintenance radio part battery state (low, normal) |
| smoke sensor | sensor_battery | maintenance sensor part battery state (absence, low, normal) |
| smoke sensor | short_check | triggering the smoke sensor's short check |
| smoke sensor | long_check | triggering the smoke sensor's long check |
| light sensor | luminance | light luminance value in luxes |

| dock | battery_status | indicates running on battery (yes/no) |
| dock | battery_level | remaining battery percentage |
| dock | siren_status | used for controlling and getting siren state (on, off, cyclic) |
| dock | short_beep | testing of dock's siren - short beep |
| dock | long_beep | testing of dock's siren - long beep |
| waterheatersystem | middlewater_temperature | Number:Temperature indicating the temperature of the water at the middle of the heater |
| waterheatersystem | boost_mode | Switch allowing to enable or disable the booster. When switching to ON, by default, the Boost duration will be set for 1 day.|
| waterheatersystem | away_mode | Defines if away mode is On or Off (no water heating) |
| waterheatersystem | away_mode_duration | Defines if away mode the duration in days. |
| waterheatersystem | boost_mode_duration | The duration of the Boost mode in days. Valid from 1 to 7. |
| waterheatersystem | power_heatpump | Current consumption/power of the heatpump in Watts. |
| waterheatersystem | power_heatelec | Current consumption/power of the electric resistance in Watts. |
| waterheatersystem | showers | Virtual channel, representing the number of desired showers - between 3 to 5. It actually switches the desired temperature to 50.0, 54.5 or 62.0 Celcius degrees. Please note that in ECO mode, only 3 and 4 showers are allowed. |

| waterheatersystem | electric_booster_operating_time | number of hours the electric booster has been operating. |
| waterheatersystem | mode | The current mode of the boiler. Can be: autoMode / manualEcoInactive / manualEcoActive |
| waterheatersystem | target_temperature | Water target temperature in degrees. Read only. Temperature desired is managed through mode and showers channels. |
When a roller shutter-like thing receives STOP command, there are two possible behaviours
- when the roller shutter is idle then MY command is interpreted (the roller shutter/exterior screen/awning goes to your favourite position)
- when the roller shutter is moving then STOP command is interpreted (the roller shutter/exterior screen/awning stops)
If you want to set the MY position of a roller shutter and you don't care the possible movement, try sending the MOVE command (OH2 does not know MY, so it stands for "move to MY position")
```
CONTROL_CHANNEL.sendCommand(MOVE)
```
Blinds and adjustable slats roller shutters can control their closure and orientation by sending a comma separated string consisting of closure (0-100) and orientation (0-100) to the "closure_orientaion" channel.
Awnings, garage doors, screens, blinds, and windows things have the same notation as roller shutters. Just use "awning", "garagedoor", "screen", "blind" or "window" instead of "rolleshutter" in thing definition.

Since Rolleshutter items are unsupported, only Dimmer with control channel can be used.
Syntax in .item file is as follows:
```
Dimmer RollerShutterLivingD "Roller shutter living [%.1f]" [ "Lighting" ] {channel="somfytahoma:rollershutter:237dbae7:87bf0403-a45d-4037-b874-28f4ece30004:control"}
```
Alexa can set the roller shutter (awning, blind, ...) to a specific position as well as send ON (interpretted as UP) and OFF commands (interpretted as DOWN).
