Help with TV Lift Integration and Control via ID

Third party integrations
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing issues with integrating a motorized TV lift into Home Assistant. The lift is a Nikabe motorized TV lift, and it’s connected to my system. So far, I’ve been able to get it to move up through Home Assistant, but I can’t control it to move down or stop using commands.

Here’s what I’ve done and observed:

  1. I integrated the lift using the cover entity type.

  2. The lift is connected directly to Home Assistant but goes through a cloud-based project configuration (possibly using an MQTT or HTTP API relay).

• I used this project setup to map the control functions to IDs that correspond to commands like up, down, and stop.

• Despite selecting and testing different IDs, the lift only responds to the up command.

  1. There’s no clear documentation on how to correctly map or configure these IDs to provide full functionality.

  2. It appears that I might need a specific setup or additional configuration for the IDs to enable full control, but I’m not sure how to proceed.

What I’m looking for:

• Guidance on how to properly configure the control IDs to work with a cover entity in Home Assistant.

• Examples or experiences from others who have worked with similar motorized lifts.

• Suggestions on how to debug or customize the integration to allow control for up, down, and stop.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
