Dedicated topic for stop command in my MQTT cover config?

Hi,

I’m trying to configure my MQTT cover, but it seems that I would need two different command topics :
One for the up/down command, and another for the stop command.
Is there a way to do that in the mqtt config ?

In my research, I found that someone, for a similar situation, talked of using a intermediary topic so that a separate automation or something would read to post in the right topic, but if possible, I would like to avoid that kind of workaround, as I would have to configure it for seven different covers :unamused:

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

Did you find a solution? I am having the same issue with new Smartwings blinds.

The command topic 38/0/target/set takes a numeric value to set the position, 0-99. To stop, I can only find that telling it to perform a level up/down will stop it in motion. That is 38/0/Up or 38/0/Down.

I’ve not found a value I can send to 38/0/targetValue to command it to stop where it is. Tried 255 at a minimum.

God forbid I have to build a completely new mqtt template entity and do it all from scratch but maybe that’s the only option?

Amending, it looks like this motor responds to a numeric value 0-99 as well as the string value “STOP”.

Now just need to figure out how to get HA to allow me to set a distinct value via a slider…
