I’m pretty new to Home Assistant. Atm I have a fhem server with smartvisu on top, but I want to setup a new HA server / visualisation from scratch.
Since a single tilt up / tilt down movement is not supported by the cover card at the moment, I try to find a workaround. I was thinking of adding a button and sending out a KNX message manually.
perfect, thanks a lot!! It works for me as well!
Since you seem to have a KNX system yourself, how did you solve the issue with the cover card not supporting single steps (up/down)?
I see.
There is actually already an issue on Github. (#36875)
It is more or less a frontend issue - tilt up/down buttons are missing for the cover card.
However there hasn’t been any activity for a while now.
This is why I tried to solve it with a KNX.send button.
Thanks for the help again.
I have lamella blinds and the HA stop button works only with the close adjustment. I think this is because the HA stop button just sends the value 1. At KNX push buttons it is different, the open button does move / step = 0 and the close button does move / step = 1

And this is exactly the problem with the cover card. How did you solve this issue in your dashboard then? Not having the option to slightly open the tilts (or lamella blinds what you called them) is no solution. I currently use single buttons in a grid and use the knx.send service to implement the complete tilt functionality. (Step up / Up / Stop / Down / Step down) - Stop wouldn’t be necessary, as you already indicated above, Stop is the same as Step down / Step up.
Indeed. Every actuator seems to behave differently here. If you have a dedicated “stop” communication object I recommend to use this. If not maybe you can change a setting in your actuators application to have it stop a (long) move on every step value (not just one in the opposite direction). Writing this, I wonder what type of actuator this is…
