Helpers for each blind …
- input_text.blinds_balcony_door_state
- input_number.curr_posn_blind_balcony_door
- button.pleated_blinds_my_position_? - provided by Overkiz integration to set ‘My Position’
One of each of these helpers …
- input_select.blinds - an entry in the list of options for each blind e.g. cover.balcony_door
- input_text.move2posn_blind
- input_number.targ_posn_blind_balcony
Scripts …
Important that you follow naming conventions I have used for entity ids. Script ‘blinds_my_open_close’ works out what entity ids it needs to use.
In ‘blind_move2posn_2’ there is a table, movement_time, that maps blind entity id to time to fully open/close each blind. Absolute accuracy is not needed when measuring the open/close times of the blinds. I used a stop watch.
blinds_my_open_close:
alias: Blinds My open/close
sequence:
- if:
- condition: template
value_template: '{% set input_text = ''input_text.blinds_'' ~ button | replace(''button.'','''') | replace(''_my_position'','''') ~ ''_state'' %}
{{ is_state(input_text,''my'') }}'
then:

Phew! I didn’t realise there was so much to it, apologies if I have missed something. Let me know how you get on.
