I couldnt find any solution, except setting up a filter in mailbox.
Has anyone found a way to stop the annoying "Someone has logged into your VELUX ACTIVE account" email that gets sent every few hours?
Hej, bardzo mi się podoba ta integracja, instrukcja dla mnie była trochę niejasna, ale po zastanowieniu się i przeklepaniu ID do każdego kolejnego nowo stworzonego urządzenia z QA poszło gładko. Jest szansa na działanie z siłownikami veluxa? W QA się pojawiają na liście, sterowanie wygląda że działa, ale nie można ich otwierać, tylko zamykać i zatrzymać. Zauważyłem też, że wysłanie komendy do zatrzymania powoduje zatrzymanie wszystkich rolet będących w ruchu, nie tylko jednej.
Hi Alim, I can't find any information in unofficial documentation about moving windows position. It would require to sniff the communication between app and the API, but I don't have controlled roof window.
