I’m using the https://github.com/iMicknl/ha-tahoma/ integration to manage my Pergola via HomeAsisstant. It consists in two vertical sun covers and one pergola roof. Without going into details (added details into an issue there https://github.com/iMicknl/ha-tahoma/issues/577 see my user comments) I’ve a problem that the integration shows the device inverted. In details this is what happens:
Real Status: Open
HA Status: Closed
Device name, in example: cover.tenda_piccola_pergol
Real Status in percent if I set it to 90%: it should it open at 90%, but it close the device to 90%. This, compared to a working rolle shutter cover which works correctly (another integration).
The Opening and Closing state (during move) is not implemented, no problem.
The Icon is as well wrong, because it shows a arrow-collapse-horizontal and arrow-expand-horizontal but should use arrow-expand/collapse-vertical
History should reflect then the real status as well.
How to solve it? I think I shoud use the cover template but have no experience.
Hello again, no help at all?
I would like to test something, but what I’m in doubt is (how all it works first…), if my cover.tenda_piccola_pergol has wrong status (open instead closed or 90% instead of 10%), using a template cover would i create a new cover (i.e. cover.working_vertical_blind) that will have the status based on what I calculate over cover.tenda_piccola_pergol or would the template force different values to existing cover.tenda_piccola_pergol ?
Thanks, Simon
Hi, helped me as well, at least half way
The icon color and the slider are correct. But the arrow buttons are wrong. arrow up closes the blind and arrow down opens the blind. You know how i can invert the arrow buttons?
Thanks.
Just had an awning hung up today and while adding it to HA noticed too that the direction is inverted. While I understand the template idea and workaround has anyone tried changing the source of the problem? For example by using this method?
Hello!!
I didn’t know that approach, which seems very interesting I could give that a try.
The only thing I think could be a problem is that in fact on my Tasmota Bridge the cover moves the right way controlling it from the Phone App.
I suppose that this could be a problem.
Ah, forgot… In addiction the manual controller shown in your video is working correctly as well. So in my case the problem is that the HA integration works reverted compared to the controller and the app.
Cheers, Simon
Yep same here. It is correct in my app as well. Nevertheless I prefer HA to be in control as it provides local control and automations will be based on it.
I won’t be messing with it just yet but I can imagine that I will over the next few months.
The store just informed me I would have to do a factory reset of the motor so I’ll need some time figure that out.
For the moment I have not had time to look at resetting my Somfy App and changing the open close position that way.
I decided to go with the template for now and simply copied it to the developer tools template tester/designer. After changing my entities to the one that I use the tester comes back with:
UndefinedError: ‘position’ is undefined
any ideas on what I might be missing?
thanks in advance.
Edit:
Don’t know why and how but everything seems to be working now. And very well I might add. So I’ll leave it like this as it will have the correct position in the native app as well as in HA.
I would like to keep the cover and slider like it is, just inverting the arrow buttons (up to down and down to up) without affecting the underlying commands.
