Hello, in the smart curtain system I have been using for a long time, I can only raise and lower the curtain. But when the power is cut off, I want the motor to remember where it left off and continue. Plus I want to be able to raise and lower the curtain to the desired %. Can you help me with this?
My tools in the curtain system.
Nema 17 stepper motor
A4988 motor driver board
Esp32-wroom-32 programming board
LM2596 Regulator
3 buttons
DC 12v adapter

The curtain card coding I’m trying to use.
[GitHub - tungmeister/hass-blind-card: Blind card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI]
type: 'custom:blind-card'
title: My blinds
entities:
- entity: cover.yatakodasiperde
name: Left blind
buttons_position: left
title_position: bottom
blind_color: '#FFD580'
Take a look at my repo
This setup uses a Robotdyne ESP8266 Wifi D1 Mini and a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor + ULN2003 driver board.
It looks like you’ll be able to change the stepper motor and board, I’m a bit tired atm, otherwise I’ll check in tomorrow.
It should work with that card too.

Thank you @RoadkillUK , the purpose of using nema17 motor is because my curtain is big and heavy. As a driver, I chose these components because I cannot find many types in my country.
Thank you very much for your interest. I am waiting for your return after you rest.
I meant for you to change the code, it’s pretty easy, just copy it from your code.
Hello @RoadkillUK , I have adapted your coding and the system is loading successfully. But I’m trying to raise or lower the curtain, it doesn’t work. I think I’m missing something.
Yeah, you could post your code 
give us a clue.
I’ll take a look. put ``` before and after the code so it formats correctly.
The way I adapted the code.

It would seem you have added your own version of a sleep/enable pin. Looking at this, there is a enable pin option already.
If you change your stepper config to this below and ensure you need the pins inverted. Then delete all your additional enable/disable stuff. It might work
There may be more issues, I don’t think so, but one step at a time.
Good Luck.

Thank you for your help. But I pasted the stepper code you gave. I could not understand the additional enable/disable items in the coding. So I deleted the following codes. The system did not work again. Are these the codes to be deleted?
- output.turn_on: enable_pin
- output.turn_off: enable_pin
