Hello,
I have configured the following Zigbee cover using ZHA
{
"node_descriptor": {
"logical_type": 1,
"complex_descriptor_available": 0,
"user_descriptor_available": 0,
"reserved": 0,
"aps_flags": 0,

"mac_capability_flags": 142,
"manufacturer_code": 4417,
"maximum_buffer_size": 66,
"maximum_incoming_transfer_size": 66,
"server_mask": 10752,
"maximum_outgoing_transfer_size": 66,

},
"endpoints": {

"profile_id": "0x0104",

}
and calibrated the time using the cluster settings. The 0% and 100% work properly. However, I’m not able to set the cover to a middle position. For example, if I try to set it to from 0% to 30%, then it opens completely to 100%, but the app still shows 30%.
Is there something I can do?
I think the problem is related to this issue, where they fixed using a custom component and an automation. I was wondering if there is a native way to make it working.
In the TuyaCoveringCluster, I don’t see any field for setting the percentage position. However, when I move it manually, the position is updated properly.
Are you able to set a percentage in z2m or the Tuya app?
I don’t have a tuya app, I have directly paired them using the Sonoff Zigbee dongle and ZHA. I’m not using Zigbee2MQTT.
Yes, indeed. Very strange.
I’m opting for a custom component to create a time based cover.
I compared all these devices with a working one of another home assistant apartment.
Both the working and non-working devices are very similar. Although they are from a different manufacturer, they are identical in everything.
I bought the working Zigbee cover controller a couple of years ago, and it always worked very well, even the percentage position. All the TuyaCluster settings are exactly the same (except for the calibration time). I only noticed that the working one have an earlier software version, and that it’s using a different aha quirk.
This is the working one
This is the non-working one
can I try to change the quirk to the working one? If yes, how?
Moreover, I’m pretty sure I can try to update the firmware, as there is a custom firmware update here. I tried to set the aha settings
zha:
zigpy_config:
ota:
extra_providers:
- type: z2m
in order to enable the z2m updates, but it doesn’t do anything for both thew working and non-working device.
Both of those quirks use the same cover cluster, so it wouldn’t actually change anything. It’s not working with z2m or zha, so unless it works properly with a Tuya hub, it’s a device issue. If it does work with a Tuya hub, someone would likely need to capture the traffic between the Tuya hub and the device to find out why it’s not working correctly with zha and z2m.

Ok, I have noticed that if I hold press the physical buttons, the percentage position in home assistant is updated. If I press and release the physical buttons, then the cover move without keep pressing, but in this way the position is not updated in ha.
It seems that a firmware update may fix this issue. This is exactly the module I have. I bought the working one on AliExpress two years ago, and the non-working ones on Amazon ITA. All of them are LoraTap. I was wondering if I can perform the firmware upgrade, since it is available in the z2m repository, as I showed above. I don’t understand if the non-working devices have the latest version, but for sure the working one doesn’t.
