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

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 ?

My blueprint config:

id: '1713162251995'
alias: SCREENS - Zonwering Woonkamer Klein
description: ''
use_blueprint:
  path: hvorragend/cover_control_automation.yaml
  input:
    blind: cover.woonkamer_klein
    auto_options:
      - auto_shading_enabled
    shading_position: 0
    shading_azimuth_start: 65
    shading_azimuth_end: 220
    shading_elevation_min: 6
    individual_config:
      - allow_shading_multiple_times

Thanks in advance!

It seems that your helper auto_down_force is active. This of course forces the roller blind to stay down. So it must not be opened either.

At what time do the conditions become valid? After Time_Up_Early and before Time_Down_Late?

Which blueprint version are you using? Current version is important.

Do you have sun.sun including all attributes?

Do you perhaps already have a trace for this?

What happens if you set shading_pos to 1 just for testing?

THX FOR REPLY… But which helper should it be? Helper Schlafend ist OFF…all other shutters are working with the same Configuration. I’ll try a a new Autmation…mybe it will help.

As I said “auto_down_force”. So this one:

auto_down_force: input_boolean.beleuchtung_freisitz_fur_cover_control

Just updated the blueprint to the newest version. Did I get this breaking change in 2024.03.21-01 right? Times for drive down - late do not trigger the blind anymore (even tough the comment in the appropriate field tells so)?

Having two kids at home and now in summer days we need them to go to bed before sunset. Thus I wanted to define a latest time to get the blind down. Is this somehow possible?

Thanks in advance, please find the requested information below:
