Hi, do you see something like that when you are in Adaptive Cover integration?
For now you can add two seperate services/devices within the integration; one for the vertical movement, and the other for the tilt/slat movement.
am i right to assume that it is still required to create two devices?
Yes, you have to create two entities of the same device (one for cover and one for tilt). @basbrus hasnât made any improvements to his application for a long timeâŠ
time for a rewrite? I have seen your logic breakdown and it feels like it is quite convoluted and sometimes too complex.
Je ne comprends pas votre remarque. Je ne la trouve aps trĂšs agrĂ©able en tous casâŠ
Peut-ĂȘtre serait-il prĂ©fĂ©rable pour vous dâattendre les explications de @basbruss, lequel nâa plus donnĂ© aucune nouvelle depuis des mois !
I donât understand your comment. I donât find it very pleasant anywayâŠ
Perhaps it would be better for you to wait for an explanation from @basbrus, who hasnât given any news in months!
Hi,
Is this project abandoned?
Is it still compatible or up-to-date in relation to Home Assistant?
Maybe affected by any breaking changeâŠ
I ask, because I wouldnât want to invest time in this only to realize that it wonât work or is âfragileâ.
Hello,
Although @basbrus doesnât seem willing (or able) to update this application, it works perfectly well.
There are, of course, a few improvements that could be made, but by following my tutorial, I think youâll be satisfied.
Hi everybody, seeing the complexity of this integration, I went ahead and created my own: Smart Cover Automation.
I developed it completely from scratch with a focus on ease of use and quality. I wrote an announcement post here.
Giving it a try should be quick and easy. Iâd be happy to get your feedback!
Hi,
Like you, Iâm disappointed that @brabuss hasnât been able to develop this potentially interesting integration further. And his absence for several months doesnât bode well for future updatesâŠ
Nevertheless, with a few tips, described in this tutorial, itâs possible to work around some of the unreliable features to take full advantage of all the available options.
In any case, I think itâs great that you were able to develop your own integration, which I will certainly test.
For now, Iâve carefully read the description of the functions you offer for managing roller shutters, and I already have a few questions for you, which I prefer to ask in the thread dedicated to your integration.
Sincerely,

Just wanted to share an alternative in case anyone here is specifically running venetian blinds and wants something more focused: I built Smart Venetian Blinds â deliberately scoped to venetian blinds only, with proper slat
geometry math baked in.
Iâve been using it personally and am quite happy with how it works and how easy it is to configure through the UI. It was developed with Claude (AI-assisted).

Hi all,
First of all thanks for this wonderful component I just found and think Iâm going to love.
Sorry for this stupid question as Iâm new to HA but I canât find how to modify the settings. Thereâs a nice UI to create it but canât get it to edit my cover. Searched for something in the files but nothing. Maybe an other way ? In the SQL db ?
When I click on the wheel it shows âLe flux de configuration nâa pas pu ĂȘtre chargĂ©: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in troubleâ
Hereâs the log : https://sharetext.io/pgsckzma
Thanks.
