    [
       	{

        "debug": false,

Parameter	Note
platform	required, must be set to "PowerView"
ip_address	required, the ip address of the PowerView hub
debug	optional, default is 'false', if set to true will add extra logging in the output
fullmotiontime	optional, default is 30000, an estimate as to the length of time it takes to fully open/close the blinds in milliseconds
fullmotiontimepadding	optional, default is 2000, an estimate to the amount of time it takes the blinds to react in milliseconds
defaultcurrentposition	optional, default is 50, sometimes the hub doesn't know where the blinds are, in this case we will set it to a default setting
querytimeout	optional, default is 10000, amount of time to wait when querying the hub as it sometimes does not like to respond
queryattempts	optional, default is 10, number of times to try sending a command, will quit when successful or if this number is reached
