I bet @crandler is right :slight_smile: See Extensive roller shutter control including shading (brightness, sun position, temperature, forecast) - #79 by crandler

Btw: 99 is only a good value for ventilate_position (in the special case) if position_tolerance is 0. Otherwise ventilate_position should be open_position - ventilate_position - 1.

If itā€™s not the case, please share your configuration and update to the newest version, set ā€œCheck configurationā€ to true and trigger the automation. Check for any configuration issues in the logfile.

Could you speed up? I want to hand over all support questions to you :smiley:

after I posed my issue I also saw the small note that 100% isnā€™t a good value :wink: thanks there. seams to work now.

sometimes RTFM helps a lotā€¦

thanks

Done: Cover Control Automation (CCA) has been released. Thank you very much for your work and also for letting me fork.

This blueprint is deprecated.

Suddenly deprecated? Really?
That was not my intention!
You are ā€œthe originalā€.
That is really sad.

186

Thanks :slight_smile:

But come on, it doesnā€™t make sense to have to blueprint which are doing more or less the same in the same way. Your version is easier to debug, offers more flexibility and is correcting some wrong design decisions.
Thus itā€™s the best for new users to use the newer version :slight_smile:

(btw: the original is by Cluni, who implemented a script for FHEM :wink: )

@Eimeel and @Herr.Vorragend many thanks for your efforts resulting in an extraordinary blueprint. :pray: :smiley:

Iā€™ll switch my automations to CCA and hope that it will be developed further :wink:
Thank you @Eimeel for your great work so far.

Hey @Eimeel. Just wanted to say: You rock! Thanks for this blueprint and your work you put into it. This blueprint gave me a moment of awesomeness, after I dialed in correct sun elevation and altitude and automatic shading worked on point. Such a feeling I had 10 years before. This was after my coming-home automation in Philips Hue has triggered. :smiley:

Also thank you @Herr.Vorragend for giving this blueprint a new home and love :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve been looking at different controls and this one seems very comprehensive, however before I set it up ā€“ does this support only 1 shading position? (It doesnā€™t open/close gradually as the sun moves)

191

Yes, itā€™s only one shading position.
I donā€™t like to move the position according to current sun elevation as - for me - itā€™s stressing the motor.

But if you just think about starting to use a blueprint, I strongly suggest to have a look at ā˜€ļø Cover Control Automation (CCA) - a comprehensive and highly configurable roller blind blueprint

Well - if the wind speed is above a certain limit for a specific time - the blind actor will trigger a wind speed alert (actually two different once can be defined).
According the blind manufactors - they publish a wind speed limit for specific width of the blades. Like 3m width can withstand 40km/h and 5m width can withstand 30km/h wind until a damage of the blinds might occur.
Guess lots of people have a wind speed ā€œdogā€ - which is triggering the same. So - shading during high wind speed is not desired.
Concering the freezing protectionā€¦ same actor will trigger a freeze limit alert - during this time - the blinds should not be tiled to 100% - so they can not freeze together if it would be freezing rain. Further movement should be avoidedā€¦
so if this could be triggered at the same blueprint - it would eliminate the extra ā€œblockā€ codes.
