Maybe there is a “german” speaking developer who could add the Elero USB Transmitter to control Elero and Weinor products:
Here some information how it could be included:

HI
did you manage to integrate Elero into HASS?
EDIT: Lol I just saw your post was 4h old 
Me - “no” not a developer yet 
- but maybe there is a “german” speaking developer who could create such a component.
Hi Everyone!
I am working on a custom component to Elero Centero USB Transmitter stick as a HAAS Cover. You can see the first working version here: https://github.com/W00D00/home-assistance-elero
All comments, insight, criticism is welcomed.
Regards,
Istvan
Hi Istvan, can you please tell me how to install your component, sorry i´m new in home assistant
Thanks a lot and greeting from Austria!
Hi!
Please read the “Readme” file on my Github. I have extended it with Installation part.
This is a first developer version. I am working on it and my goal is to create a final component lib into the official hassio source.
Thanks
Hi, Thanks for your answer!
But can you tell me how to install pyserial?
And how i need to configure the configuration.yaml ?
Thanks a lot!!!
Many many thanks for writing the addon for the Elero shutters.
The availabiltiy of this add-on now is the reason for trying out HASSIO.
I am also an absolute beginner and did not get it running up to now.
I’ve installed HASSIO via the HASSIO image.
As far as I understand pyserial is normally already available / installed there.
Copying the files into the folder is no big effort.
But I did not yet understand what / how to configure the configuration.yaml.
I also would be happy if you could give us a hint or example what to do in the configuration.yaml or a link, where something similar is explained.
Many thanks again!
Great job Istvan! I was wating for ages for someone to do this. Almost built a separate Openhab Pi just to control the shutters
Please tell us how to configure it in the configuatio.yaml big thanks!!
Hi Everyone!
I have updated the “Readme” file on my Github. Please read it and I hope you can use the component at now.
Thanks
Istvan
Awesome! Really appreciate the effort 
p.s. something seems to be wrong with the titles in the Readme file…not a big deal…
I also want to say many many thanks. I know that this is quite a big effort.
I tried it out now and got in running.
Some things are not really working good up to now, but I am not sure if this is my mistake. I am an absolute HASS beginner. 
This is my feedback (perhaps other users can also give feedback if it works on their systems in a better way).
I used your custom_components from 9th July 2018 for my tests.
When I click on the “Close” icon for one shutter, then it start moving down. But when I click on “Stop” after a few seconds (while it is still moving), the “Open” is greyed out (so I cannot open it again); I only can click on “Stop” or “Close”.
I created a group with 6 shutters. But when I click on “Close” for this complete group, randomly (?) only one shutter is closed.
The system normally supports four commands:
– open
– close
– movetilt (ventilation)
– moveintermediate (sunblind)
It would be great if it would be possible to use all of them.
So please don’t understand my feedback as criticism, but as feedback. I really appreciate the effort you spent!
Hi Andy!
Many thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately I know these issues. I am working on a new version to solve these issues. I will inform you here if it is ready for test.
So, please wait and hope
István
Please help and tell me how do you think to do use the tilt control in Home Assistant?
Thanks
Istvan
Thanks a lot Istvan. I really appreciate your work here for us!
If there is anything what I could test for you, just let me know.
I also do not know how to use the tilt control in Home Assistant. I just can show you how it looks in FHEM - how I configured it there:
So because you have now this add-on for Home Assistant, I tried this out (and do not want to use FHEM in future any more).
Perhaps this could be done with the COVER.SET_COVER_POSITION. As far as I know the Elero system does not support to move a cover to a specific 0 … 100 position. So perhaps it would be possible to realize it something like:
position 0 = closed
position 25 = tilt
position 75 = sunblind
position 100 = opened
Or what you mean?
Hi Istvan,
I just noticed one more issue. I don’t know if it’s just me or…?
Anyway I’m testing the controls on two shutters. After I send the command, when I check the stat, both shutters start alternating between open/closed (please see screenshot below) and the stick is flashing orange/green/range/green indefinitely. The only solution is to call cover.stop for each cover I used (or to reinsert the stick).
Both are actually closed on the screenshot above…but it just keeps switching closed/open etc.
Anything I’m doing wrong?
Log is full of following errors:
unknown response: b’’
Response to the 78 command is too long: b’\xaa\x05M\x00\x02\x02\x00\xaa\x05M\x00\x01\x02\x01’
Unhandled response: unknown response
EDIT: It just seems to loses track of the actual shutter status. After using a few shutters, open/close statuses don’t reflect real world situation.
Hi István,
many thanks for the component.
Is it possible to configure/define more than one usb transmitter sticks?
Hi,
Have been looking at the code + Home Assistant developer checklist for creating a platform.
Would believe that the issues occurring with the current custom component is due to the fact that the Eller transmitter API is written directly in the component code. However I’m a noob regarding python…
From the developers guide
Communication with devices/services
All API specific code has to be part of a third party library hosted on PyPi. Home Assistant should only interact with objects and not make direct calls to the API.
status = requests.get(url(’/status’))
from phue import Bridge
bridge = Bridge(…)
status = bridge.status()
Hi,
I have the same problems like Igor. In my configuration I created 10 covers for the channels 1 to 10. In my logs I have additional issues like:
serial.serialutil.SerialException: device reports readiness to read but returned no data (device disconnected or multiple access on port?)
It looks like every cover access the serial port directly. Instead, a controller is needed that bundles communication with the serial port and manages a queue of requests and responses.
I also tested cover groups as described in István’s documentation. For this I have created a group with 5 shutters. If I want to close all the blinds of this group, this only happens with 3 of 5. This could probably be solved with a central queue for requests.
Since I’m not a Python specialist, unfortunately, I do not know how to implement it. But what I have done is to support the set_cover_position function so that intermediate and ventilation positions are supported.
The value of the position is used as follows:
0 = closed
25 = tilt position
50 = intermediate position
100 = open
I have no access rights to the Github repository, so I cannot push the changes. Therefore I am posting here the change you have to insert from line 318 after the stop_cover function in /custom_components/cover/elero.py.
def set_cover_position(self, position, **kwargs):
"""Move the cover to specific position."""
if position == 0 and self._state not in [STATE_CLOSED, STATE_CLOSING]:
"""Close"""
self._down()
self._start_watcher()
elif position == 25:
"""Tilt Position"""
self._tilt()
self._start_watcher()
elif position == 50:
"""Intermediate Position"""
self._intermediate()
self._start_watcher()
elif position == 100 and self._state not in [STATE_OPEN, STATE_OPENING]:
"""Open"""
self._up()
self._start_watcher()
