motor blind control and procents dimlevel not working

I have a zwave.me motor blind control. I want to control it with dimlevel procents so when I set 50% the blind goes 50% down or up.
But when I send the values the heigt of blind is always different, mostly after I use full close or open.
I tried different software, domotiga,homegenie, homeseer.
I played with the full open and close parameters but I did not get It good.

I think I have to configure it from a good starting point but I don't know how and its driving me crazy.

Does anyone have some tips for me?

Did you try to calibrate it? This seems to be needed for roller blinds (other similar Fibaro device manual states that):

I myself just ignore the percentage/dim, i am only interested in open or close.

there is nothing in the manual of the duwi for calibrating :( only the full open en close time paramters

For the original duwi devices managing the operating times was possible: http://www.ihomeautomate.eu/2011/10/22/ ... nd-insert/

Sorry to perhaps state the obvious, but perhaps you've already taken this into account.

When you're using blinds for sunscreens etc keep in mind that the roll-down is faster then the Roll-up phase. (at least, it' is in my case). So when working with percentages to manage an analog motor, you'l probably end up on different levels then you're expecting it would be.
