Controlling Cover/Blinds via Button

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi guys,

i got some ikea Fyrtur Blinds and trying to set them up to work in automations but also with a simple “Button Controller”. I got it working so far like this with the graphic UI:

alias: Rollo Wohnzimmer rechts
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: device
    domain: mqtt
    device_id: fc556e10331ce29d04ce9cda4a168a2e
    type: click
    subtype: open
    discovery_id: 0x4c5bb3fffe739bb8 click_open
    id: openblind
  - platform: device
    domain: mqtt
    device_id: fc556e10331ce29d04ce9cda4a168a2e
    type: click
    subtype: close
    discovery_id: 0x4c5bb3fffe739bb8 click_close
    id: closeblind
condition:
  - type: is_not_open
    condition: device
    device_id: ac913bd45de9c319c9d12f0fe29db877
    entity_id: 100a68d72d4f1f148cb7dc7a7e533215
    domain: binary_sensor
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - openblind
        sequence:
          - service: cover.open_cover
            target:
              device_id: 8dd19a6af595d533fe1ac5cf0d1e9cee
            data: {}
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - closeblind
        sequence:
          - service: cover.close_cover
            target:
              device_id: 8dd19a6af595d533fe1ac5cf0d1e9cee
            data: {}
mode: single

Problem is, that every time i close the blind, it gets “to far up”. Meaning it yanks until it goes no further. That doesnt seem to be healthy for the blind.
I read that it is possible to set positions of the covers but my attemps did not work (yet). For example i modified the following:

sequence:
          - service: cover.open_cover
            target:
              device_id: 8dd19a6af595d533fe1ac5cf0d1e9cee
            data:
              position: 90

with no result. I tried a couple of other code snippeds but no luck so far.

Can anyone hint me in the right direction here? Your help is much appreciated.

regards,
Markus

I don’t know exactly, but my son just installed these blinds and connected them thru zigbee2mqtt and nodered for alexa intergration… he mentioned that he had to set the liimits to stop it before too much out and too much back in…

I would look at the attributes for the device as reported from zigbee2mqtt.

As far as i know you cant set a limit for how far it goes back in, just the one for the max lenght…

talked to son last night, he said the blind also supports double click its button(s) to set the max length.
