Change up/down buttons ons blind card

Configuration
1

Hi

So, i have a projection screen witch works a switch and comes down from the ceiling.
I already changed the switch in a cover to make it look better but since the screen comes down from the ceiling i was wondering if I can change the function of the standard buttons…

if i push the ‘up’ button, i want the switch to be off so the screens closes and the status to be ‘closed’ witch is the opposite…

I can invert the status; then the buttons work the way i want but then is the status wrong…

This inverts the open/close logic
Add (onfiguration.yaml)

Test:

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      screen_inverted:
        friendly_name: "Projector Screen (Inverted)"
        unique_id: screen_inverted
        position_template: "{{ 100 - (state_attr('cover.blinds_curtain', 'current_position') | int(100)) }}"
        open_cover:
          service: cover.close_cover
          target:
            entity_id: cover.blinds_curtain
        close_cover:
          service: cover.open_cover
          target:
            entity_id: cover.blinds_curtain
        stop_cover:
          service: cover.stop_cover
          target:
            entity_id: cover.blinds_curtain
        set_cover_position:
          service: cover.set_cover_position
          data:
            position: "{{ 100 - position }}"
            entity_id: cover.blinds_curtain

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      screen_inverted:
        friendly_name: "Projectiescherm"
        unique_id: screen_inverted
        value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.projectie_scher', 'on') }}"
        open_cover:
          service: cover.close_cover
          target:
