Hi guys,
opening on the morning
closing on the evening
protection against sun's heat
The issue i have: each time i want to setup or change parameters for 1 or more covers, i have to scroll more than 900 lines of the automation.
I would like know if it's possible to cahnge this way of working with (i'm not a programmer, so apologize for my approximatives explainations) as for example:
an independant YAML file which contents all covers' parameters (to avoid creation of more than 150 helpers)
the automation should have to "read" this file to exécute actions for one or more of the covers
a dashboard in which i would choose a cover and automatically all parameters of the regarding cover would be displayed and available for update.
It should be kind if someone could guide me in that way.
Thanks in advance for your help
One option is to create an input_number for each parameter, and call for these parameters in the automation. See:
You can then list these input numbers in a separate card, and modify them via the GUI.

You can also post the actual automation for other improvements. 900 lines seem unmaintainable, even if you use helpers for your parameters.

Hi,
@thusassistint , as i said i would like avoid to create more than 150 helpers!@parautenbach , please find below my automation (i didn't copied the script as it's not concerned by the "issue'.
