I run into a similar issue a year ago. I also wanted to use the cover in HomeKit, but turns out the HA cover component, as you said, did not support opening and closing states, only open and closed. I wonder if your implementation, when used with HA HomeKit controller, gives HomeKit opening and closing values. My goal is to implement a fully working HomeKit garage cover integration with a Shelly 2.5 and 2 reeds (or 2 Shelly 1 and 2 reeds) like it’s done with this firmware or via MQTT. This is the one I’m using now and it works great. Two reeds give you real open and closed status and can also give HomeKit a jammed alert if the door does not close in more than X seconds. Let me know what you think.
