Hi

If you are using HomeKit Controller integration and covers/blinds/shutters, we need your help.

To improve the HomeKit Controller integration with tilt functionality, the DevTeam needs your support.
A better understanding is needed what different brands of cover/blinds/shutter motors are reporting in the HomeKit Controller for the attribute current_tilt_position

To do so, go to Dev Tools → States and take note of the current_tilt_position when tilt of your covers is open, and when closed.
Homekit is using degrees from -90° to +90° and not percent %, so a value cannot be 100. The latter is likely to be a % value from another integration than HomeKit Controller.
If you are using more than one integration to control your covers, make sure pick the correct entity.

Template and example from me:
Motor-brand: Somfy
Motor-model: Oximo 50 io
Value of tilt open: -90
Value of tilt closed: 0

Thanks a lot for your contribution

Can you recheck this, this seems to be rather 0 to 100% than a 0 to -90° or +90° value. The value has to be the ones reported by the entity which is controlled by HomeKit Controller

Motor-brand: Somfy
Motor-model: maestria io
Value of tilt open: +89
Value of tilt closed: 0
