Graywind Motorized Blinds

Does anyone have these Graywind motorized blinds integrated into Home Assistant? I just installed them and they are working fine.

This specific model does not have Zigbee (i somehow thought it did when I purchased). It is wifi only and I was able to add it to Tuya and integrated it into Home Assistant via Tuya. I’m trying to create an automation job to close the blinds at dusk (i.e. move the slats from left to right and rotate them shut). However, in HA there does not seem to be an option to slide the slats from left to right (or vice versa). I’m only able to rotate the blinds on either direction.

These are the options that appear under actions in Automation for the blinds:
“Set xyz position”
“Open xyz”
“Close xyz”
Stop xyz”
“Change xyzzy Motor mode to first option”,
“Change xyz Motor mode to last option”
Change xyzzy Motor mode to previous option”

The first 4 work but all they do is change the angle of the slants. Nothing at all happens when I select any of the last 3 options.

Has anyone succeeded in creating an automation that slides the slants?

Thank you this worked perfectly! I only have the blackout shades so I don’t know if the other options you needed work or not but using Tuya for Wi-Fi shades did the trick. Really funny how similar it is to the software that came with the Graywinds.

I could use some help assembling them if anyone here happens to have answers. Neither state of the motor feels secure, as in just rotating it after plugging it into the housing (part v) the bottom of the motor comes off. One state you can see battery contacts, you plug in the bottom and turn it, now when the bottom comes off you see red/black wires. Plug it in and turn it, now you’re back to seeing contacts. But neither way does the bottom stay put.

It was just broken. They shipped a new motor and battery quickly.
