Cover knx and payload

[sg72]

Good morning
I am coming back to you, because I am in the process of modifying the switches of my roller shutters in cover.

  cover:
    - name: "volet_hangar_MD"
      move_long_address: "0/0/15"
      move_short_address: "0/0/15"
      stop_address: "0/0/20"
    - name: "volet_bureau_MD"
      move_long_address: "0/0/4"
      move_short_address: "0/0/4"
      stop_address: "0/0/21"
    - name: "volet_garage_MD"
      move_long_address: "0/0/14"
      move_short_address: "0/0/14"
      stop_address: "0/0/19"
    - name: "volet_baie_MD"
      move_long_address: "0/0/16"
      move_short_address: "0/0/16"
      stop_address: "0/0/17"

The command to send the volet_hangar is this:

service: knx.send
data:
  address: 0/0/15
  payload: 0

0 = up
1 = Down

For the stop it is:

service: knx.send
data:
  address: 0/0/20
  payload: 0

Here are my Cover codes.

How can I add the playloads in it to determine the ups and downs?

Hi !
You can not set a knx covers payloads manually directly (there is the invert option for up_down).

Don’t set move_long and move_short to the same address. Hi f you don’t have tiltable covers you can omit move_short.

For a knx cover you will need to set correct travel times.

stop_address is always sent a 1 to. If this doesn’t work for your device, you can invert it externally or use a template cover with knx.send Template Cover - Home Assistant

The problem is that if I look at the ETS file of my KNX, the up and down function of the shutters uses the same function. This is what I achieved with a switch button.

How can I achieve this with a Cover button? With a switch button it works really well the only problem is that when the shutters are open, the switch button indicates closed, whereas normally it should be all blue

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      tousvolets:
        friendly_name: "Tous les volets"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.volet_hangar_md', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          - service: switch.turn_on
            target:

Have you tried any of the recommendations of my first answer?

The GA names don’t tell my anything. The actuators group object assignments would be more helpful. (besides not understanding the language 🤷)

@farmio

The problem is that I didn’t really understand what you said! Sorry, I have very bad English

[farmio (Matthias Alphart)]

What exactly don’t you understand / can’t be translated?

Try something like this

  cover:
    - name: "volet_hangar_MD"
      move_long_address: "0/0/15"
      stop_address: "0/0/20"
      travelling_time_down: 51
      travelling_time_up: 51

[sg72]

Great, it works.

However I have another question, how to display an image depending on the opening of the pane? For example if the pane is open, I will put the image of an open pane. If the pane is closed, I want to put the image of a closed pane.
