I try to recognize manual movements in the blueprint. And some devices send the position data this often or even during the drives.
I’ve changed the logic several times because I wasn’t happy with it. It actually no longer has anything to do with the delay of events.
I am currently using it to check whether the detected position change was generated by the blueprint or whether it was caused manually.
you have to use that “helper” otherwise the blueprint will only work if the cover is in a “known position” (eg. open/close/ventilation/shading position) > if it is something in between (eg 40%) it won’t work (as you experienced it).
thanks for the valid questions.
it happened after 23:00
i expected the blinds to close after the door got closed. ‘Closed’ for the blinds in questions means 44% closed. But they stayed open (0%).
Traces are lost, unfortunately. If needed I try to force the issue to create a new trace.
yep i fully agree…and by the way, “hurry” means “dirty” and dirty isn’t a good idea and until autuum i think its not so neccessary…if i found some time i will have a look at the code…
Lockout protection error: cover is 100% (open). Door is open (helper is on). Shading starts. Why? Lockoutprotection has to prevent shading. It is a boolean helper, because there is a three-state-sensor. State is on.
Thanks to all here, my automation is working for daily up/down routines. I’d like to add shading, but am having a hard time finding values for sun position. I’ve ordered a light sensor as well, but curious where everyone is finding values for sun position. Also, it looks like I’ll need to add the helper for this as well - glad I just saw this.
There is an Integration, called ‚sun‘. You can use this.
For crosschecking you can use sonnenverlauf.de .
Position the focus on your house and check angles and times.
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.
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.
