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

Could it be that you have swapped the two input fields for the contact sensors?

You are using the “Contact Sensor Opened” sensor for “Ventilation Full”. And not the Tilted sensor for partial ventilation.

        "contact_window_tilted": [],
        "contact_window_opened": "binary_sensor.fenster_kinderzimmer_contact",

Oh man, of course you’re right. Anyone who can read has a clear advantage.
Many thanks!

Tip: After upgrading to Sep 4th version, I had to re-add my contact sensor. It was missing in the configuration.

i deleted the statushelper, and it looks like that its working :slight_smile:

Since Sep, 4th version, ventilate opens the blinds completely instead of 60% as set in the configuration. Could you take a look at the trace?

Maybe the same problem?

Hello, I need help because I don’t understand why my automation is not working correctly. I have configured workday and non-workday times, the shutters must, outside of these ranges, open and close on the elevation of the sun. This morning again, the shutters opened at 9 a.m. even though the elevation threshold had already been exceeded since 7:45 a.m…Regarding the closure, I have no problem…Any idea? What elements should I send to help you respond to me?

Just now, one of my roller blinds was “constantly” moving up and down. The threshold value for the brightness was briefly undershot again and again.
However, the waiting time for both directions is set to 300 seconds.
Do I see correctly in the trace that the wait time is only 30 seconds?

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes that was the problem.

All times can be configured.
I think you are confusing the waiting times. The trace is not for shading.



Please show me the exact traces that are responsible for the constant startup and shutdown. Not that there is a bug here.

Please. I don’t want to keep repeating myself. I would really like to help. But not with a text task like this. Unfortunately, my crystal ball is currently being cleaned. :smiley:

Please show me configs or traces and I can work my way in.

I know the different places for the brightness. However, I am interested in the Waiting Time for Sun Shading Start and the Waiting Time for Sun Shading Stop.
Unfortunately, I seem to have got the wrong trace yesterday. But it was probably because the blind opened and closed every minute and I had many traces to choose from :wink:
As I understand the config, a sensor must have a certain status for 300s in order for the blind to be opened or closed for shading.

Stupid question, can I somehow access older traces? I can’t see the ones from yesterday.

The second post in this thread.

Of course, i juste dont’kow how to find traces…

Here is my configuration (it’s the same for all shutters at this time)

Could yo explain to me how to send traces ? When i go to “trace timeline”, i get this

in this screen the 3 dots in the top right corner

Hi, had family visiting and forgot to reply. Since I didn’t notice any mistakes, I forgot to answer. Unfortunately I can’t see it in the log file.
I’ll upload everything once.

Unfortunately, I can’t tell which roller shutter it is, so I chose this one as an example

Ok, this is te thrace of the shutter mentioned in my previous post.

Your configuration looks good. At first glance, I don’t see any problems.

But about the trace: You don’t have to send me just any trace, but the trace for a trigger that was not executed or was executed incorrectly.

But what is much worse:
You are using a version from July.
Please update your Blueprint version. It’s just one click. But this way I don’t have to think back two months into the past.
