Hi everyone,
I quickly searched in the community for a similar question, but I didn’t find any.
I have a template cover object in my HA setup.
cover:
- platform: template
covers:
persiane:
friendly_name: "Persiane"
open_cover:
service: rest_command.open_blinder
close_cover:
service: rest_command.close_blinder
When I trigger the cover, it call a rest_command defined in order to call a Particle Photon function that open or close the covers via electric motor.
For the moment I don’t have yet any sensor installed that informed HA which is the status of the cover. So I was trying to implement an automation that every night at midnight set the cover as ‘closed’ and every day at noon set the cover as ‘open’, as in the most case they are.
The only thing is that I don’t want the automation to actually trigger the rest_command. I just need to set the status and stop, no other action taken.
Is it possible?
For anyone wondering, I don’t want the automation to trigger the rest_command because it would also trigger the motor to open (or close) an already opened (or closed) cover, and that would cause to much stress on the motor.
Thanks!
