LoraTap SC500W-V1 shutter switch with ESPHome

Meanwhile I did receive the shutters for my house and have installed them.

Finally in reality it looks all different with the code for the LoraTap shutter switch and I did find out, that the cover-component is useless in my case.

There is the problem with the timing.
If you open/stop/close/stop/open/stop/open… it looses the real position an the shutters stops anywhere but not where you want them.
I understood now that the cover-component is a compromise because there is only a virtual position recognitioning. It works great only if you always fully open or close the shutters.

Now I decided to make the code based on a simple double relay.
Like this you loose the comfortable shutter switch control in HA, but all the rest works like I wanted.
My prefered control units are anyway the RF remote and the wall buttons what works like a charme now.
And the relay switches in HA I do use to connect the shutter-motors into theirs programming mode.

To intergrate the shutters better in HA with the double relay, its needed to create a automatism for it. But this is no problem at all.

So finally I`m glad with this code and maybe somebody else gets happy with it as well:
