I suspect that this might be a question for Developers but is it possible to extend an entity by adding an attribute? Specifically I have a few blinds e.g.
entity:
cover.blind_bedroom_2
attributes:
current_position: 100
device_class: shutter
friendly_name: Blind Bedroom 2
supported_features: 15
and I want to add an attribute “velocity:” which would contain a value e.g. fast or slow, which would be used in deciding how quickly the blind opened or closed?
you can add any attribute using customize
, but those would be fixed.
homeassisant:
customize:
cover.blind_bedroom_2:
velocity: fast
do you want them to be dynamic? that would not be possiile (without custom components)
Hi Marius. Thanks.
I think that might work as I always want the bedroom blinds to go slowly and the hall ones to go fast.
homeassisant:
customize:
cover.blind_bedroom_2:
velocity: slow
cover.blind_hall:
velocity: fast
The next step of passing those values to a python programme could be more fun !
