Yes if that’s the name of the attribute
I think that’s it… 
The working code for the archive:
- platform: template
covers:
cover_r_reversed:
friendly_name: "Cover R Reversed"
position_template: "{{ 100 - state_attr('cover.realcover_r', 'current_position') | int(100) }}"
value_template: "{{ (100 - state_attr('cover.realcover_r', 'current_position') | int(100)) > 95 }}"
open_cover:
service: cover.close_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.realcover_r
close_cover:
service: cover.open_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.realcover_r
stop_cover:
service: cover.stop_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.realcover_r
set_cover_position:
service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
position: "{{100-position}}"
entity_id: cover.realcover_r
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state('cover.realcover_r', 'closed') %}
mdi:blinds-open
{% else %}
mdi:blinds
{% endif %}
one more question about this… whats the 95 in value_template: "{{ (100 - state_attr('cover.realcover_r', 'current_position') | int(100)) > 95 }}" for?

Well, anything over 95 on the slider will consider it open
EDIT: You can remove that now probably. I added it based on your previous comments but it turns out the attribute was just wrong.
liket his:
value_template: "{{ (100 - state_attr('cover.realcover_r', 'current_position') | int(100)) }}"
?
no remove the whole line

Thanks! Gone in 60 minutes - posts.
CU next time :-). Keep the spoon ready.
Thanks a lot to you both. Been using this thread to completely reverse buttons & positions in Home Assistant, for Tuya curtain modules that work fine, but display reversed status & position values in hass.io
I included all this in a “covers.yaml” file, and added just the include at the end of configuration.yaml:
cover: !include covers.yaml

Hey everyone
When I try this, I get an error that “position is undefined”
I get that same error in the template editor if I paste in your version too.
My version:
bedroom_large_left:
friendly_name: "Bedroom Blinds Large Left"
position_template: "{{ 100 - state_attr('cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left', 'current_position') | int(100) }}"
value_template: "{{ (100 - state_attr('cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left', 'current_position') | int(100)) > 95 }}"
open_cover:
service: cover.close_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left
close_cover:
service: cover.open_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left
set_cover_position:
service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
position: "{{100-position}}"
entity_id: cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state('cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left', 'closed') %}
mdi:blinds-open
{% else %}
mdi:blinds
{% endif %}
You shouldn’t get that error in your configuration. You’ll get that error in the template editor area because position doesn’t exist in the template editor.

My “created” template code from above does not actually always work. E.g. when I have the cover half open and restart HA, It lost it’s state and I need to fully open or close it to reflect the actual state.
I admit: I am not a coder (templates). However I am a very enthusiastic HA user that like things working, even if that means I need to ask for help here.
Although I think, given the amount of questions and topics on templates, and especially this one, it is not easy at all.

What’s the attribute current_position value at startup on cover.bedroom_blinds_c_left?
I have been playing with this for hours and I can’t make it work. My version does reverse the blind but I can’t restart HA, I always get the error:
The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here in “/config/covers.yaml”, line 2, column 11
Here is mine (content of covers.yaml), it’s just a paste of the above but with my blind:
- platform: template
covers:
dining_room_blind_reversed:
friendly_name: "Dining room blind reversed"
position_template: "{{ 100 - state_attr('cover.dining_room_blind_cover', 'current_position') | int(100) }}"
open_cover:
service: cover.close_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.dining_room_blind_cover
close_cover:
service: cover.open_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.dining_room_blind_cover
stop_cover:
service: cover.stop_cover
data: {}
target:
entity_id: cover.dining_room_blind_cover
set_cover_position:
service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
position: "{{100-position}}"
entity_id: cover.dining_room_blind_cover
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state('cover.dining_room_blind_cover', 'closed') %}
mdi:blinds-open
{% else %}
mdi:blinds
{% endif %}
I’m happy to have a bash at stuff but this is all new to me, I’m not a coder

Thank you. I can’t believe it’s that simple!
Thanks for the solution which is quite perfect in my case to swap the buttons.
However, it has a problem: it is based on the position_template.
I’m attaching a view of the normal and inverted (reversed) cover:
The reversed buttons and the icons are perfect with your solution, but I would like to invert also the slider percentage. I don’t think this is possible, right?
Just want to say that the solution provided worked perfectly for my tuya zigbee blinds, thanks! I got the blind motor installed and HA seeing the device with minimal effort, the only issue was HA showing the inverted state of the blinds and nothing I did could change it.
I think it helped that I didnt want the slider, just up and down.
How would I create the “opening” and “closing” status on this cover, independent of the original cover?
