Hello, what type of automation or card would be best for my electric shutters?
I would like my children’s shutters to close no later than 8 PM, and earlier if it gets dark before that.
In the morning, the shutters should open at 8 AM, or later if the sun hasn’t risen yet.
Both conditions are important.
For the living room and kitchen… the shutters should close when it’s dark and open when it’s light, but not before 6 AM.
Also, for example, if it’s more than 25°C outside, it’s summer, and the sun is directly south, then I want the shutters to close to 80%.
Is there something planned for this, like in ioBroker?
Thanks!
I don’t use blueprints.
You could also use a schedule helper for the base times and then add some logic to the automation.
But all of what you ask for is possible. But there is nothing built in for it.
You have to create the automation yourself, just like in ioBroker (I assume)
I have a similar automation. I’ll give you an example for the first part:
In the morning, the shutters should open at 8 AM, or later if the sun hasn’t risen yet.
You set two triggers, one for the time and one for the sunrise. In the action block you check whether the sun is up, time is after 8 and the shutter is closed. If so → open the shutter.
Why not just use the Automation Editor (or better still, straight YAML) and create exactly what you want? If necessary, I’m sure any old AI bot will help you.
One thing to consider is the sun integration. That will get you the bit about opening and closing based on times of sunrise and sunset. I use that for some lights which I want coming on at some random offset from sunset, and off again around a certain time.
