Blind slat control

edit

Hi—I’m using the Python API to control both the slat angles and the blind activation schedules. I’ve made sure to wait until the warm-up period ends before applying any actions or writing output, yet I still see a 20-day delay before the blinds respond. Temperature controls work immediately when I wait for warm-up period to apply, but the blind slats inexplicably take 20 days to move. I have this objects in order to have illuminance values :

and i have these schedues for the blind status and slat angle :

as i said im using the python api to set the actuator values, and m using the last version (25.1)
