Okay, so I guess I have to write the code myself then for this cover. Thanks for your support.
It’s a big cover and I don’t wanna stare at a big 8m² white wall in the evening. And in summer I have outdoor lights which I am able to look at when the cover is only at 65%.

Hi, im locking forward to switch to you blueprint. But one thing i am missing.
could you implemet a second shadding position with second trigger values.
i think this was also my idea that i described 2 Posts above correct?
@Herr.Vorragend I wanted to test the sun protection, but it doesnt work yet. Azimuth, sun-elevation and tempreatures are set like its in the reality, but sun-protection is not working.
As i combine several shutters for shading only in a helper-group (all directed to the same direction / azimuth) could that be the problem? Because one shutter is completely closed (children is sleeping at lunch time) and the others are open. Could those be preventing each other in the group to execute shading function?
Thank you!!
I’m currently losing track of all the feature requests. Could you do me a favor and create it as an issue in GitHub? Issues · hvorragend/ha-blueprints · GitHub
Thank you.

The user @crandler had already reported a shadowing error to me via chat today. I’ll see if I can find a bug.
To be honest, I have completely ignored the shading for the last few days and hoped that I still have some time until then.
Perhaps related with. Why does "Forecast Temperature Value" also use the "shading_temperature_sensor1" sensor? · Issue #29 · hvorragend/ha-blueprints · GitHub
I hope that’s not a problem if you have several covers in a group.

Could you please show me a trace of this problem? Thank you.
Hi @Herr.Vorragend i updated to latest Blueprint Version and since then i have an issue with the ventilation mode. It opens but if you close the window it won’t go down again, before it worked perfect. Any ideas?
The answer would be easier with traces.

This morning 2 of my roller shutters did not operate as expected. With both roller blinds, the window was opened for ventilation before the planned opening and then closed again. The roller blinds (OG_F1) then lowered again, but did not raise again when they were opened as planned. This will now only take place at the latest opening time.

The trace was gone already 
Indeed, my wife told me today that the sun protection has worked while i was in the office.
Yesterday i had adjusted to test-values for the sun-protection, but it just works only one day after it seems. But in the end it works and this is all what counts 
Coming from FHEM I miss the privacy function to close some covers only partly in the evening and open them partly in the morning some minutes before the official opening or closing time.
I thought I could achieve this by using a second CCA automation for the same cover using the same position helper. I set the sun elevation for privacy some degrees lower in the morning ans some degrees higher in the evening. But somehow this does never work - the second automation never operates the covers.
Any ideas how to configure this or how to achieve this function at all?

I also originally come from FHEM and was also an active user of the AutoShutter module.
There is no privacy function in my blueprint.
And I don’t have anything planned at the moment.
Okay, thank you for the information, BTW your blueprint is super! But I understand that you can’t integrate everything, it has so many options already.
What do you think of my idea using two automation for the same cover: one for opening, closing, shading and the second for privacy? Could it work somehow?
@Herr.Vorragend this evening the shutters were not closed with the desired sun-elevation of -2.6 degrees. Not sure. I really fear its not a good idea to combine shutters in a group. I know, certain shutters were manually set to 50% during the day. Maybe only this has prevented the automation and all others were also not moved during sunset.
I have currently not setup the helper for this group of shutters.

Hello everyone,
spring is coming and I want to setup my shading configuration. Driving the covers up and down dependent on brightness and time already work with this Automation.
What is the best an easiest way to debug this automation? Shading does not what I expect (nothing) and I want to find the reasons behind.
Try lowering the forecast temperature.
As far as I know there is a bug.
