I have blinds that I’m using a script to automate. Since I have moved my automation model to use the Chooser the automation runs more often now. This is expected and is not the problem.
The problem is that when the automation runs again, perhaps with a Home Assistant restart etc (I have this as a trigger) the blind does a little jig.
The script makes a request to the blind to set position at 50 (example). When the blind is done moving it might end up with a current_position
of 51.
So then the next time the automation runs it does a little jig as the blind tries to move from 51 to 50. It never makes it to 50 for some reason so all day long my blinds are doing little jigs.
I thought I could put some logic in there so that it doesn’t try to change the level if it is within 2 of the desired level.
I can’t come up with how to do this that works.
Here is how I cam calling my blinds to move
action:
- choose:
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.house_mode
state: Breakfast
sequence:
- service: script.master_bedroom_blind_pct_individual
data:
blind_pct: 50
blind_entity_id: cover.master_bedroom_left_blind_level
- delay: 00:00:02
- service: script.master_bedroom_blind_pct_individual
data:
blind_pct: 0
blind_entity_id: cover.master_bedroom_middle_blind_level
- delay: 00:00:02
- service: script.master_bedroom_blind_pct_individual
data:
blind_pct: 0
blind_entity_id: cover.master_bedroom_right_blind_level
and here is blind_individual_pct.yaml
master_bedroom_blind_pct_individual:
alias: Master Bedroom Blind Percent Individual
description: Master Bedroom Blind Percent Individual
mode: single
fields:
blind_pct:
description: The percentage OPEN for the blind. 0 is Closed.
example: "0"
blind_entity_id:
description: The blind entity_id
example: cover.master_bedroom_left_blind_level
sequence:
- service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
position: "{{ blind_pct }}"
entity_id: "{{ blind_entity_id }}"
I’m not sure where or how to put this >= desired -2 and <= desired +2
Thanks for any assistance
