Hello all,
Could someone help me with coding or give me an example of how to code this:
Essentially I have 2 input sliders that control a set of blinds (the tilt portion of the blind). One goes from 0-460 and one goes from 0-700 (these numbers are essentially steps on the motor). How can I show those on a 100 percent scale though? 0 is fully closed in the down positions, 700 is in the middle of the blind positions which is 100% open (i.e. letting the most light in)
input_number:
stepper_control_right_test_blind:
name: Stepper Control Right Test Blind
min: 0
max: 460
step: 1
mode: slider
stepper_control_left_test_blind:
name: Stepper Control Left Test Blind
min: 0
max: 700
step: 1
mode: slider
I currently have these controlled by the standard cover (up/ stop/ down) lovelace card but I would like to also be able to control these by position (i.e. percent open). Can someone help me with this? (I’m not a programmer sadly).
Below is my current code for the first example 0-460 (so 920 would be closed in the up position)
I’m not sure that you all will even need the below but I have provided for others that may want to use it. (I didn’t develop it, I am a monkey when it comes to coding 
)
Thank you all for any help/ guidance you can provide
