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

You can also click on the icons in the trace. Then you can see a little more. It was stopped here because your trigger was “unavailable” or similar.

This will resolve itself tomorrow at the latest.

But I also have the feeling that your blueprint version is not up to date. Yesterday I fixed a bug that no longer recognises previous unavailable triggers (from_state). Only the “to_state” must be filled with plausible values.

Two topics are being confused here.

I think you want the sun protection. In other words, shading from the sun. And not the control of daily opening and closing via the sun values. Right?

The temperature is not taken into account when the blinds are opened and closed daily.

So I think you just need to scroll down further and configure the sun protection.

thanks, when you say the time 06 and 22 is default and every day in the trace it’s ok, but it was the first day and there it was a little bit confusing.

I am not sure if i understand the role of the status helper.
My blind was closed, then i moved it manually to a position which is not defined in the blueprint.
But the blind hasn‘t closed at elevation end.
The blueprint works only if the blind is in a defined position.

Another question is if it is posiible to use the combination of position and tilt to define the option.

Open: Position 100, Tilt 50
Ventilate: Position 1, Tilt 50
Shading: Position 1, Tilt 0
Close: Position 0, Tilt 0

yes i tried to open and close the covers only with the sun values (NOT daily) and maybe the temp of an external sensor! And it also should close to 1 defined postion!
For example:
closing azimuth: 140
closing elevation: 30
opening azimuth: 270
opening elevation: 20
cover position: 60

so the cover only should close to 60 if the sun values are above the given “closing” values and should open if the values are above (az) /below (el) the given “opening” values.
So i thought its enough to use the sun and shading automation!
Today something happend. At around 11:30 the cover closed
But the conditions didn’t fit to the given values
I added the trace for that situation: ce202b8c - cover close without close and opening automation (hopefully now its the right one :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

This blueprint is pretty interesting but I’d like to see two enhancements

  • open (and don’t close) screen when wind speed >= X
  • detect if external action is taken (eg physical keypress) and pause automation for X time (the inverted is possibly easier, eg if screen was not triggered by blueprint pause actions for X time)

Is that feasible?

for me it sounds the same…for the automation with the sun values the cover should close if the elevation is above a value and it should open if its below a given value!
So i agree that the description could be wrong!..if i don’t forget i will test what will happend if there are diferent values!

Please update to the version 2024.05.03-01:

With luck, we won’t be talking at cross purposes any more.

But that is not the same as UsefulVids wants. He want to use the temperature for the daily opening and closing. At least that’s how I understood it.

So it works the way you want it to now, right?

You can also configure it differently. Just as I described above.

No, I’m sorry. But that doesn’t work at the moment. Because it looks like at least the “current_position” attribute is already incorrect.

Otherwise show me the attributes of your Homematic roller blind. I also use Homematic, but without this special integration function.

That looks great. Everything has worked. You don’t need to activate the sun feature (auto_sun_enabled) for sun protection.

We have already discussed this several times here in the thread and on GitHub. You can achieve all of this with the additional conditions and the additional actions. But not everything in the blueprint itself. This will be too customized and you will have to prepare it yourself so that CCA can use it.

yes thanks a lot!

By time maybe I try the other options butbfor what I need this blueprint(shading) it work like a charm.

Looks really like it healed itself. Installed the update anyway.

:slight_smile: ok…i have to try some more situations, because in some situation its necessary to use the elevation and in some the azimuth or a combination of both!..So in need both the control via sun elevation (has the elevation) and the automatic shading (has the azimuth). I’m right?

Do you mean this ?

What does “Ignore after manual position changes” mean ? Will this force the movements through your blueprint whatever the actual status of the blind is ?
