Hi everyone,
I’m currently building an interface using an ESP8266 to integrate my window covers into HA. (These covers are only radio controlled with a closed protocol).
So I have usual commands open/close/stop and up/down/opening/closing status, but I wanted to add real world cases:
- Add a “shadow” command and state, where the rolling cover isn’t totally closed, but stopped slightly before, leaving rows of dotted lines of light, so the room is in the shadow, doesn’t heat up by the sun, but isn’t totally black. This is a position defined by a percent value, which is reached by sending the command, and then reported as the device state.
- Add an “intermediate” status, which is between up and down (and not shadow) positions, meaning it has been open manually and stopped at a random position.
How can this be managed in HA using the Cover device class ?
Thanks for your help
