Shades about homebridge-node-alarm-dot-com HOT 15 OPEN

@Mikelawry214 This enhancement shouldn't be too difficult to add. We would just need to capture the API calls for the different commands specific for shades to be able to add it. My guess is it's similar to a dimmer (i.e., Up/Down/% vs On/Off/%). A lot of the dimmer code might be reusable here. When I added the garage door support I used the Chrome Developer Tools to capture the network activity of the URL Request on the alarm.com website. Garage doors even more basic though. Once you can capture the URL Request, Request Headers, Payload, etc. it's pretty straight forward.

Yes it is similar to a dimmer switch. If the ability to add is available, what would I do on my end to update it to see if within my accessories. Thanks for your help

I found the settings to be very similar obviously with a different identifier

Not sure what I would do next.

@Mikelawry214 I can't take it on right now due to other family/work commitments but in general the process would be capture the api calls. Write the new methods for up, down, status, in this package and the node-dot-alarm-com package, create a pull request merge that into a beta and then test.

Thank you. I totally understand.

Honestly I have no idea about coding.

I may have a bit of time coming up. There is a discord channel on the homebridge server dedicated to this plugin

https://discord.com/channels/432663330281226270/742182845056942210

I can describe the steps I'd need to implement shades over there.
