Covers, standing desks, and other devices offer control as a percentage.In some cases, either the user or the integration may know the absolute range of an entity. It’d be great if it were possible for percentage entities to offer a (user configurable) absolute range, and the ability to have that presented in the UI, history, etc instead of the percentage.
Additionally, it’d be nice if the entity could have configurable min/max limiter, so we can ensure that HA never tries to move a device out of a “safe zone” in case there’s a real-world reason we’d not want to use the full 0-100% range of a device.
I realize that this is probably possible with templates, but particularly for the range limiting option, it would be easy to inadvertently bypass a template and go ‘out of bounds’.
