Close covers while using automation

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi All,

I’m in some need of help. This weekend i’ve installed the FIB_FGRM-222 Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 (3x), and this gives me the option to control my roller shutter via HA. All works well, but now I want to make a rule that when the sun goes down, my roller shutters will go down to like i’ve already did for my Hue lights (except they will go on when the sun goes down).

The entity names are:

  • cover.roller_shutter_level_2
  • cover.roller_shutter_level_3
  • cover.roller_shutter_level_4

This is the automation setup I used for my Hue lights:
automation:
alias: Turn on light when sun sets
trigger:
platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: “-00:20:00”
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.sunset

How can I do the same for my roller shutters?

The service would be cover.close_cover
and then you would use one or multiple of your entities that you have listed. The list of services can be found in the devtools-> services.
