☀️ Cover Control Automation (CCA) - a comprehensive and highly configurable roller blind blueprint

Not at all. You can only do both or not at all.
But you can also solve all of this using the additional conditions. Be creative.

Lockout protection: Is it possible that you are confusing this with ventilation mode? Lockout only works when shutting down. And I have already explained ventilation here several times: only works from the “closed” status.

Please show me a trace.

That’s right. The lockout protection does not apply to solar shading. Can you please create a ticket on GitHub? Then I can implement that.

Thank you!

Sorry, I expected that a open command where set, when opening the door. That’s my mistake. I solved it with a action command.

Can someone help me. I have created 8 CoverControl automations. 7 of them work without any problems. However, one shutter always remains closed. I have no idea where the error lies.
I am attaching the trace log and the config as screenshots. It would be great if someone could help me. I just can’t find the error.

Is it safe to say: When I adjust the automation (e.g. include “cloudy” state into shutter settings), it will not be applied directly but only on the next day? @Herr.Vorragend

No, directly, of course. But of course there must be a new status change for this. If it has already been triggered, then it is probably too late for the day.

Thank you! If theoretically the weather- / forecast-status would change from X to Y it would be triggered again right ?

No sorry, the weather conditions cannot trigger the automation. Please look here: ☀️ Cover Control Automation (CCA) - a comprehensive and highly configurable roller blind blueprint - #361 by Herr.Vorragend

Incidentally, the conditions are fulfilled. I’m about to go mad and not find the error :wink:

@Herr.Vorragend

any Idea what’s going wrong in my automation posted above?

please post screenshots from your configuration of the shutter.

THX fro reply!





Part2:





Part3:



please post status of the helpers (especially Cover Helper Wohnzimmertür and Schlafend) Maybe the resident state ist “Schlafend” or anything else.
CrossCheck that the CoverHelper is not used in other automations (copy/paste error)


All other roller shutters open - except this one!

Automation should only run when SCHLAFEND is off! This happens as soon as a person is detected in the kitchen.With all others shutters it works!

I have no Idea- in Resident Mode SCHLAFEND is in all other Automations!

Thanks for the support. But you don’t actually need the screenshots. It’s all in the trace.
I haven’t gotten around to looking at it yet. I do small things on my smartphone, but I need the PC for your trace.

I won’t forget the posts. It’s not necessary to remind me several times. I’ll have a look when I have time.

I need help :frowning:
I’ve been trying to use this blueprint to control my screens for shading only.

Regardless of the settings i make, they do not move even if i know all conditions are met.

Can you please help me in getting this to work ?
