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

I had actually integrated the delay offset for this random control. There is a fixed offset and a random offset.

The only unpleasant thing in HA is if you configure too high delay values and several CCA automations wait for minutes for further execution.

That works, and that’s how I do it. But a restart during this period would be unfortunate.

so in my case, the early close is 19 and the late close is 20:30. So i had to set a random drive delay of about 5400 seconds. Than the cover closes randomly between 19 and 20.30, right?

Any has problem with roller controled via Shelly 2PM?
I mar as active :
:arrow_up_small: - Enable generic automatic opening of the day in the morning
:small_red_triangle_down: - Enable generic automatic daily closing at the end of the day
:sunny: - Enable sun elevation control (in addition to daily opening and closing)

  • Select my shutter (obvius)
  • Ensure integration sun.sun works and have sun elevation, and select in the options
  • Create the recommended Cover Status Helper
  • Ensure my entity shutter has current_position atribute

But nothings happend in the last 24 hours :frowning:
I configure aditional actions to send me notifications when up or down, and nothing is send

Hello Everyone,

I tried to search but no luck.
Firstly, thanks for the hard work here…

My goal is to validate the opening of the cover with a actionnable notification on a/multiple phone. Automation is working great for living room but I’d like to validate the opening for the bedroom.

Can anyone help me to achieve this ?

Regards,

New Update

2024.10.21:
  - Added: The delay values in relation to the contact sensors can now be configured individually
  - Fixed: A problem with the scheduler in connection with the sun height/brightness has been fixed
  - Updated: YAML-Syntax for automations. Minimum version of the core raised to 2024.10.

Could you please provide me with a trace of the trigger that set it off? Then I will take a look at it?

Sorry, but this function does not exist.
This feature would also completely interrupt the blueprint or it would have to be completely reprogrammed.

Yes, but I cannot recommend this approach. Long delays are always a disadvantage in HA, as they can be interrupted by various things.

Hello Guys,

I have a question about the manual overide feature. Is it possible to reevaluate the Position of the Cover after the manual overide is reset. For example if i put the cover up manualy in the evening after closing time I want that it closes automaticaly again after my reset time of 60 minutes. This is not happening anymore because the action isn’t trigerd as the time for closing has already passed.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I do this with an helper under force feature, Force Immediate Closing.
The helper is triggered by an automation at a specific time, in my case 4:00 a.m. in the summer, after 5 seconds the helper is switched off again for the next day.

Hi ! i’m trying to put a condition to execute automation. I’ve created a inupt_boolean. When it’s ON, automation is stopped, when it’s OFF automation is ON.
I’ve done this but my automation does not work whether the button is ON or OFF.

additional condition did not execute the automation itself, it will only enable or disable the automation!

Yes, it’s just i want to do. Sometimes, guests are sleeping in my living room and when this case happen, I want to disable the opening of the shutter so that it can be done manually… For that, idecided to use a switch ON/OFF, when it’s ON, someone is sleeping there and i want to turn in manual mode…Maybe it’s not the best way ??

Hello, a very simple and maybe stupid question, but, how do I calculate sun elevation for certain windows?
Some windows are north facing, while others are south, east, west… so, where do I get the right values from?

You can check azimuth for each windows and report it in “sun shadin elevation start” & “sun shading elevation end”; It will have to be adapted according to the seasons

Sorry, but, how do I check the azimuth for each window? Where do I report this?
Is this something I can do inside HA or I need to resort to external tools?

In your automation, under sun shading options.

For the azimuth, it’s visual, I use sun integration to get the indication

Ah, I thought that was only usable with a light sensor. How do you use the sun integration to get the azimuth? I guess it is a different value for each window

yes you have to put values according windows position… The SUn integration give you azimuth at time…You just have to visualy check when the sun is on your window…

There is no such thing in CCA. The complexity of the various status fields makes implementation very difficult.

You would prefer the commands to be stored in a kind of “queue”, wouldn’t you?

Maybe you could put it on GitHub as a feature request. Maybe I’ll think of something at some point.
