Hi, had family visiting and forgot to reply. Since I didn’t notice any mistakes, I forgot to answer. Unfortunately I can’t see it in the log file.
I’ll upload everything once.

Unfortunately, I can’t tell which roller shutter it is, so I chose this one as an example

Ok, this is te thrace of the shutter mentioned in my previous post.

Your configuration looks good. At first glance, I don’t see any problems.

But about the trace: You don’t have to send me just any trace, but the trace for a trigger that was not executed or was executed incorrectly.

But what is much worse:
You are using a version from July.
Please update your Blueprint version. It’s just one click. But this way I don’t have to think back two months into the past.

By the way, there is only one(!) post about it, where I have linked to the troubleshooting. It is explained there.

In fact, the link is even between your posts.

Sorry, but I couldn’t resist saying that now. :grinning:

The name of the automation is in the log. This does not seem to be included.

Unfortunately, I can’t access your trace.


Update: I can see the error in my log, too.

@thorstenniemann.tn

I think I’ve found the bug. A small thing. Not bad. Has no effect. Will be fixed.

but I am using the current version 2024.09.05. see screenshot

This post ☀️ Cover Control Automation (CCA) - a comprehensive and highly configurable roller blind blueprint - #1239 by Herr.Vorragend is related to Tonejay62.

Otherwise you could recognize that your name is being referenced.

The trace is indeed that of a shutter which has a problem. Again this morning, it did not open, while yesterday evening it closed correctly.

I will update first and see how it evolves afterwards.

Thanks,

Hi, im’ back with the lastest version installed yesterday…
Yesterday evening, one shutter doesn’t close correctly, this morning 4 shutters doesn’t open correctly…should i send you trace of each covers ?

I’ve got 2 traces, not sure which one you need for debugging.

I’ve got shading setup to work when outside temperature is above 16*C. This is the graph from my outdoor temp sensor:

The config looks like this:

    shading_waitingtime_end: 900
    shading_sun_brightness_end: 22500
    shading_forecast_temp: 18

I’ve got shading waiting time at 600, so I expect it to wait fot 600 seconds before shading occurs, but it looks like it doesn’t use the wait time. Or is it when outdoor temp is reached, it doesn’t take waiting time in account?

Sorry, I cannot download your Tracks. Files are deleted.

Traces for one roller blind should be enough.

Ok, it’s here !

Yesterday evening, all shutters close correctly…this morning, only 3 of 7 open…i’m going to be crazy…

Hello all,
I am at the moment migrating all my node red flows into HA automations and the only missing part at the moment is the cover control. I found this blueprint which is capable of all my needs - sadly it seems that I didn’t configure it correctly…

I would like to do the following things:

1.) open the roller shutters completely when the sun arises, but earliest at 07:30 (0830 at weekend).
2.) close the roller shutters completely when the sun goes down, but earliest at 0830.
3.) if the roller shutter is down and I open the window (–> contact sensor changes state) the roller shutter should open completely. When I close the window again it should move to the position it was before.
4.) If the max. forecasted temp of the day is higher 24degC, the roller shutters should stay closed the whole day.

My configuration looks the following. At the moment the first 2 points seem to work like expected, but point 3 and 4 not.:

Can anybody help me with these issues?

The trace is incorrect. This refers to the detection of a manual shutter movement. I need traces of a trigger that is causing your problems.

Could it be tust your are using a really old version? I see parameters that have not existed for months.
