Hello!
Can someone tell me if I need to update my azimuth and elevation settings for the winter? I expected for it to just work, but they are opening a bit too late and closing a bit too early.
I don’t want to be changing this with the season, so I would love to have a configuration that works both in winter and summer.
normaly there is no need to change them. The problem is the timechange in autum and spring i think!
Ah, maybe.
But how can that influence the cover opening? As far as I know, the sun should not be impacted by the time, no?
But maybe the “don’t open before” is what applies, as with the adjustment maybe 9am is already too late for opening the windows in winter, not sure.
Wow this is sophisticated version of my automation that I like to brag to other people. Hope I will have some time checking it out since I was about to roll that length code of mine.

Thank you very much.
I just based my ideas on those of others. Especially on the previous automation/module from the FHEM smart home system.
Unfortunately, I still have far too many ideas. But perhaps I should focus on bug fixing first.
What I don’t like: Unfortunately, we are too restricted in a blueprint.

Kannst du bitte mal einen Blick auf die Bugtickets am Git werfen.
In der letzten Version läuft bei mir NUR Zeitgesteuert. Sobald ich Sun Elevation und Sun PRotection Controll aktiviere öffnen die Raffstore nicht mehr.
Dankeschön
As soon as I have some time for it: Yes
I have now replied to you in the ticket.
I just replied to your email message here in the forum.
It would be great if you could post this on GitHub as a ticket or maybe even as a pull request. I need to channel all the input somehow to keep track of things, especially when you’ve taken long breaks.
I think it’s a very good idea, and apart from the YAML anchors, it shouldn’t be too difficult to implement.
Hi,
erstmal vorweg: CCA ist wirklich klasse und hat mir schon sehr geholfen!
Eine Sache bekomme ich jedoch nicht hin:
Ich möchte gerne meine HMIP BROLL für manuelle Bedienung sperren, wenn z.b die Terassentür geöffnet ist.
Die Lockout protection funktioniert im zeitlichen Ablauf sehr gut, aber leider ist der BROLL immer noch über die Tasten bedienbar.
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, das in der CCA so zu konfigurieren, dass eine manuelle Bedienung nicht mehr möglich ist?
Vielen Dank für einen Tipp oder Hinweis.
Beste Grüße
Christop
Hallo,
vielen Dank für die Hilfestellungen!! 
Das hat mir effektiv geholfen, das Problem zu lösen.
Für Alle, die evtl. auch vor der gleichen Frage stehen, habe ich den YAML-Code für Aussperrschutz mit einem HMIP BROLL und einem Fensterkontakt beigefügt.
Bei mir waren zudem die beiden virtuellen Kanäle - vch 5 und vch 6 - nicht aktiviert. Dies musste ich erst einmal durchführen.
Wichtig ist den “vch 5” wie im Code beschrieben zu definieren.
Jetzt sind die Tasten des BROLL solange gesperrt, wie der Türkontakt “geöffnet” meldet.

Ich glaube, dass Sir_Goodenough dir nur sagen wollte, dass dies ein englischsprachiges Forum ist und daher der Thread auch dementsprechend geführt werden soll.
Ich bin mit dem deutschen Text ganz fein, aber dann vielleicht besser an anderer Stelle.
Auf GitHub antworte ich sogar auch gelegentlich auch deutsch, wenn ich eine deutsche Konfiguration erkennen kann.
Danker aber für deine Aufklärung mit den „virtuellen HM-Kanälen“.

I think Sir_Goodenough just wanted to tell you that this is an English-language forum and therefore the thread should be conducted accordingly.
I’m fine with the German text, but perhaps it would be better elsewhere.
On GitHub, I even reply in German occasionally if I can recognise a German configuration.
But thank you for your explanation about the “virtual HM channels”.

Hi, I have a problem: in the morning the shutters do not open with the automation.
In the evening the automation works.
Is the “Sun Elevation Value for Opening the Cover” not correct? Should I also use the negative value?
Or what could be the problem?
And one more question: Where should I add the smoke-alarm detection so that the shutters open if there is an alarm?
Thanks a lot.
At what time is the 3° elevation reached?
I had a similar issue just to realise that the sun never reached the elevation before the time limit.
the time is according to the localisation +/- 15min if you choose +/-3 sun elevation
So the cover never even open at 9AM ?
Hello everyone,
I need your help. A few days ago, I switched my roller shutter control from ioBroker (Shuttercontrol plugin) to Home Assistant and this CCA Blueprint. Everything worked perfectly for the first few days. Suddenly, the roller shutters stopped raising. After some configuration adjustments, they’re working again now. However, they no longer lower in the evening.
What I want:
I’d like a schedule for weekdays and weekends/holidays where I can set the earliest and latest possible opening and closing times for the roller shutters. The automation should also take sunrise and sunset into account. That is, if a roller shutter is supposed to raise at 8 a.m., but sunrise is at 6 a.m., the roller shutter should only raise at 8 a.m. Conversely: sunrise at 8 a.m., earliest possible opening time 6 a.m. → roller shutter opens at 8 a.m. – both conditions should be true. The roller shutter should lower itself similarly to how it lowers at sunset. Additionally, I need an automatic forced closing time: If a roller shutter is manually raised again in the evening, it should close automatically after the configured forced closing time.
Separately, I also want to configure the shading of some roller shutters so that they can be set to a specific height depending on the position of the sun and the outside temperature.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to implement this configuration yet and currently don’t understand why the automation isn’t working. At least the window/door contacts seem to be taken into account. (Lockout protection)
What have I set up so far?
- one automation per roller shutter from Blueprint
- external state helper for each shutter
- external scheduler
- Workday sensor
- Door contacts wrapped as binary sensors
- yaml configuration of one the automatation

State helper per shutter …
( Unfortunately, I’m currently only allowed to include one picture in my post
) -
Scheduler
Is the scheduler configured correctly? A full bar per day? -
Door contacts …
(Unfortunately, I’m currently only allowed to include one picture in my post )
The issue of shading is completely missing for me at the moment. First, I would just like to understand why the automation isn’t working reliably yet.
thx in advance
I have a similar automation without the “time_shedule_helper” and that works…did you tried to disable teh “time_shedule_helper”?
Could it be that the workday_sensor_tomorrow is wrong (should be different from the “workday_sensor”!)?
A trace would be nice. If the sun integration is set to 0 for sunrise/sundown, the automation should trigger around 4pm but the cover didnt close because of the time set from 6pm to 0 pm. In this case at 6pm there should be the next trigger and than the cover should close! A trace from this trigger should help @Herr.Vorragend 
Personally, I find HA’s own Schedule Helper extremely annoying. It doesn’t work at all on smartphones. And I can’t add titles to indicate whether it’s a morning or evening time slot.
For this reason, the implementation in CCA is rather unfortunate. It’s also completely different from normal time control.
What I’m also missing is the time period during which Brightness and Sun Elevation can work properly.
I’m about to delete the implementation completely and switch to Calendar integration. It’s actually too big for roller blind control, but it’s the only usable solution at the moment.
I had already finished the code at the very beginning of the blueprint. But since the calendar was optional, I had an empty trigger. And that destroys the automation.
Now, triggers can only be executed if a value template is valid. This removes the optionality again.
The only question is, how do I distinguish between the morning and evening periods? Based on the titles “Morning” and “Evening”?
First of all, thank you for the feedback. The shutters didn’t go down again this evening, but therefor they did go up this morning
Here’s the trace of the event from “Sun.” But I’m still not really getting anywhere with it. How can I figure out exactly what the problem is? ( sorry, I’m new to HA)
Regarding the Scheduler Helper, I used it because I thought it was better. I would also use any calendar integration. As mentioned before, I’m new to Home Assistant and open to any suggestions.
But Maybe the shutters will go down at 18:00 because of " time_down_early"
But then, what exactly is the purpose of using the schedule helper then?
Edit:
No, unfortunately the shutters were not closed at 18:00
