Esp8266 Window Blinds MQTT

Hello all,

In ESPHome I’ve managed to successfully setup a D1 Mini to open/shut my venetian blinds using the cover integration. So the software side of things is fine. I now need to get the physical side of things working. Please find below pictures of the:

Servo coupler

MG90S servo

Venetian blind hook, i.e. what the rod connects to that opens/closes the blinds

Originally, I naively thought I could connect the servo screw/cog to the coupler but even if I found a way to drill the hole bigger, unless it is wedged like the servo cog, it wouldn’t connect properly anyway. I have done a bunch of googling and can’t find any couplers that would connect to the venetian blind hook and am out of ideas re. how to connect all the bits together. Any suggestions welcome!
