I have a mix of cover devices that need the opposite cover positions.
I.e. some that need ‘cover_position = 0’ to be “open” and some that need ‘cover_position=100’ to mean “open”.
If not, the usage is completely non-intuitive, and breaks icons.
I have tried fixing this by having
‘’’
position_open = 0
position_closed = 100
‘’’
for some of the instances, but the slider in the GUI has the same polarity regardless of what I do (it always shows ‘position=100’ for open, regardless of the config options. That becomes a major hazzle, because then I am in a situation where the cover reports 0 (via MQTT), is open, but the gui shows the opposite and I cannot close it because the “close” GUI element is not actionable.
Likewise I run into issues with my awning:
What you see now is the state of a retracted awning. I.e., the icons are opposite of what is reality, and the position is 100 for a retracted awning.
I need a “reverse position” option so that I can reverse open/close and the position for some of the covers. If there are other ways to reverse the position so that “0” in the GUI is open, please let me know.
