Lockout protection doesn’t work as expected for this config:

window-sensor was “open” but still the shutter closed at 22:00 (closing time).

So you only want to lower the blind using the azimuth of 90 and open it again at 193? I can’t see any other sensors. And everything else is apparently deactivated.
Resident does not play a role in shadowing, by the way.

Please do me a favor and show me a trace. Without traces, all I can do is guess with a crystal ball.

936

You don’t have a cover helper enabled.

Please take a look in this post:

937

oh shit, thanks - i already created it but forgot to assign it :slight_smile:

938

its now stored here! https://github.com/hvorragend/ha-blueprints/issues/108

939

Thank you for the reply. I failed the first rule of error handling: restart. It seemed that the cover state was not updated correctly and after a restart everything worked fine.
Now I’m just having issues with the forecast, I think I will deactivate it. DWD says its pouring for 3 hours but the sun is shining :wink:

940

Yeah exactly, so just basic shading.

Attached you can find my trace (i added the auto opening and closing, this is working, but shading not)

941

Trace, please.

Update: Oh, I read it wrong in a hurry. Everything seems to be in order, doesn’t it?

Could you please choose another uploaded?
I can’t scroll the trace in my smartphone. Sorry.

943

Before I do it with try and error I’d better ask. I have set what should happen after the shading has ended. If it is before 7:30 p.m., the blinds should open; if it is after 7:30 p.m., they should close. Will that work?

some strange situation:

  1. door was open → statushelper of the cover changed to ventilation = true
  2. weather condition changed to cloudy (no shading) and triggers the automation → statushelper changed to ventilation = false…BUT the door was still open, so ventilation still should be true!!
  3. weather condition changed again to partially cloudy ( shading = true) and triggers the automation again → cover closed, but it shouldn’t because the door is still open!
945

:door: Contact Sensor Entity For Lockout Protection defined?

946

lockout is not defined, but ventilation, but it doesn’t matter which is defined, because if the conact sensor is open, nothing should close :wink:

947

Then you’d better try Trial&Error, because how am I supposed to answer that? I don’t think it’s intended for such purposes. But I’m sure you’ll tell me soon. I’m not omniscient. :grinning:

Then please show me the trace of 2) and 3).

949

I’ll tell you, it works :sweat_smile:

But I have a different problem. I have activated manual overwriting. But unfortunately it doesn’t work.

here we go:

Vielen Dank!

You have uploaded two traces.
With the first, the shading is started as desired and the blind is moved to 25%.

The second trace with the trigger ID “t_ma_1” is the reaction to something that happened shortly before. That doesn’t help me.

But I don’t see any problems. Everything looks fine.

This seem to a bug. Moved to Override conditions seem to be wrong · Issue #109 · hvorragend/ha-blueprints · GitHub
