More Advanced Control for Aqara E1 Blind Controller with IKEA Tradfri Button

Configuration
1

Hi - I’ve got Aqara E1 blind controllers in my living room and all is setup and running great. I successfully managed to add this IKEA Tradfri button to MQTT in HA, and set automations to open and close the 4 blinds/controllers when the user clicks OPEN or CLOSE on the button.

At present the button is pretty “dumb” - you click open and it opens, if you click open again while it’s opening, nothing happens and it just finishes it’s open process (which is expected given how the automation is setup). If you click close while it’s in the process of opening, it reverses course and closes the blinds (again, expected).

I’m wondering how difficult it would be to adjust the behaviour so that when a user clicks open, then once the blind is moving - clicks open again, the blinds stop their operation. Example if you wanted to get the blinds to stop halfway up the windows to block some sun, etc. temporarily. Same for the closing function.

Effectively it would be a process where one clicks open/close and if those buttons are clicked again while in operation, the blinds stop. This is how the native Tradfri blinds work with the button above.

I’ve got two separate automations for opening and closing that are pretty simple:
