Control Cover to predefined positions with UI Buttons?

Hey there, I’m using HASS.io for some weeks now, coming from FHEM and trying to match my configuration to the look and feel like it was in FHEM. Right now I’m trying to add some extra controls to the control panel for the Covers in the UI. Right now it looks like this:

So on the right side, there are the three control buttons: UP / STOP / DOWN

In FHEM I was able to add extra controls (FHEM eventMap https://wiki.fhem.de/wiki/EventMap) to the UI to define, which events are supported or configured for the device.

So what I was looking for is to add more than the three buttons to the UI to trigger predefined positions for the cover.

Like: UP / STOP / DOWN / SUN PROTECT / NIGHT / HALF

Is it possible to add those actions to the UI ?

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but you could use input select to add multiple actions.

input selects will show a drop down on the UI right? thats not what i’m looking for, but maybe a work around.

Correct. You can also use floorplan.

I am currently migrating my visualization from FHEM to Home Assistant and found that there is still no nice solution for the visualization of my roller shutters.
In the first step, I simply built a FHEM dashboard in the design of my HA Lovelace and integrated it as a website card:

In the second step, I took the new home assistant shutter card, which shows the opening rate of each shutter and allows opening each shutter to any opening rate. I only had to adjust the width of the image using CSS (to bring it to the horizontal stack) and the card unfortunately doesn’t not yet show which roller shutter is currently in motion.
