Cover control for RF controlled window actuators without preset limits

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out whether it would be possible to program a cover to work with a window that I can only open through RF commands via my Broadlink IR/RF transmitter.

I assume covers typically report back their current percentage of open/closed which is based of the preset limits for the cover. That’s unfortunately not the case for my window that gets opened/closed with electric actuators.

I’m now trying to figure out, rather than have a button that sends the Open command and another that sends to Close command on my dashboard, how to map this to a cover. The window consistently takes a full 4 mins to fully open or close, so I could potentially use that as a limit setting and when the cover slider is set to 50% to send a stop command after 2mins for example. Depending on the slider percentage, it should then calculate how much time would be needed to let the open or close command run before sending a stop command.

Does something like this already exist? Or would it be hard to implement?

My basic codiing skills would limit me to adding some additional buttons for 25/50/75% settings that I would probably be able to cover through some nested if/then statements. But would appreciate if anyone has already come up with a more elegant solution :innocent:
