After an unscheduled reboot and restart of Hassio in the evening I discovered that the status of the blinds was incorrectly set to open. After reading this forum and the help from @ Schneider Cover template last state after reboot I found the solution:

1. Create boolean:

input_boolean.yaml

 lux_west_left:
    name: "Status lux west left"  
    icon: mdi:glassdoor      
  
  lux_west_right:
    name: "Status lux west right"  
    icon: mdi:glassdoor

2. Modify the covers

Now you need to test your system by a restart/reboot and check if the boolean has the correct value.

I have added the booleans input_boolean.lux_west_left and input_boolean.lux_west_left to Lovelace:

This way it is very easy to correct the status of the boolean. If the ‘boolean-switch’ in Lovelace is on, than the blinds are open. So make sure the status of the boolean mirrors the actual status of the blinds.
