Using EMS to operate ComplexFenestration

Dear community,

I am trying to run a model that contains a Complex Fenestration (it is a combination of glazing and raffstore). I could model the states of this glazing in Window 7 (from lbl) and I could export the BSDF files, considering two states: Raffstore Off (clear glazing) and Raffstore On (shaded). This was input as two different objects on "Construction:ComplexFenestrationState" on my model.

I want to alternate between these two states during runtime (raffstore on and off), considering the Solar radiation as a trigger, and I think the most appropriate way to do so is using EMS. Then, I am using as EMS Actuator the "Constrution State", and listed the two "Construction:ComplexFenestrationState" on the "EMS:ConstructionIndexVariable".

However, I am getting this error: * Fatal * WindowComplexManager: Non-Window6 basis type not yet implemented.

Therefore, does anyone know how could I model the operation of Complex Fenestrations?
