Broadlink RM Switch and Blinds

Configuration
1

I successfully configured Broadlink RM Pro+ switch with my external blinds.
However I’ve noticed that switch.broadlink platform supports only ON, OFF command.

  1. Is there any way to configure it to have all my 3 three buttons as exist on my remote. Currently STOP is missing ?
  2. Is there any way to get position information of blinds or I have to add eg. xiaomi door/window sensor ?

Few examples images from google

Note, the above has now been updated

Sorry, I am new to this, but I do not understand the ‘icon_template’ bits. It refers to a switch when the rest above uses a remote controller.

I am trying to set up some RF curtains, and the curtain’s icon seems to have curtain and curtain_close, can I somehow use a timer to decide on the icon?

cheers

use the device class as this will automatically set the icons

Thanks for the reply.

That is what I am trying to do. My covers.yaml is like

- platform: template
  covers:
    lr_back_window_curtain:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Living Room Back Window Curtain"
      open_cover:
        service: script.lrbwc_open
      close_cover:
        service: script.lrbwc_close
      stop_cover:
        service: script.lrbwc_stop
    lr_door_curtain:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Living Room Door Curtain"
      open_cover:
        service: script.lrdc_open
      close_cover:
        service: script.lrdc_close
      stop_cover:
        service: script.lrdc_stop
    lr_side_door_curtain:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Living Room Side Door Curtain"
      open_cover:
        service: script.lrsdc_open
      close_cover:
        service: script.lrsdc_close
      stop_cover:
        service: script.lrsdc_stop
    lr_window_curtain:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Living Room Window Curtain"
      open_cover:
        service: script.lrwc_open
      close_cover:
        service: script.lrwc_close
      stop_cover:
        service: script.lrwc_stop
    stairwell_curtain:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Stairwell Curtain"
      open_cover:
        service: script.swc_open
      close_cover:
        service: script.swc_close
      stop_cover:
        service: script.swc_stop
    uproom_curtain:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Upper Room Curtain"
      open_cover:
        service: script.uprc_open
      close_cover:
        service: script.uprc_close
      stop_cover:
        service: script.uprc_stopor paste code here

But just covers.yaml is not being loaded I tried to include it in configuration.yaml, but even though it loaded, nothing happened I could see not cover device, I put this in template.yaml to no avail.

Where should I put this?

Thank you.
