unfortunately i guess this will be the case
It will give you something to do between Christmas and new years eve!
Ya itās been an issue for a longgg time. Iāve got used to doing the opposite to control my blinds. I havenāt tried it yet (was holding out for an official fix) but you could always add a Switch Template to your configuration.yaml. See https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.template

WOW finally fixed in 104.0 and it works
change log:-
RFXtrx - Bump pyRFXtrx to 0.25. This update switches the commands for open
and close
for RFXtrx covers of the āRollertrolā type, as they were switched (clicking open resulted in closing of the cover and vice versa). Existing automations should be updated. - (@Ernst79 - #30566) (rfxtrx docs)
Praise the lord! Just saw it on the 0.104 notes. Delighted
@rosscullen @david_b You are welcome. I saw that the fix by Danielhiversen was still open in the pyRFXTRX package, so it was only a matter of asking him to merge the fix and to bump the pyRFXtrx version.
Iām currently working on adding the state to rfxtrx cover devices (so you can see open
or closed
as the state), which I already figured out. But I now need someone who can do a final test for me, to see if it updates the state if you use a remote. (I donāt have a cover device myself, other than a dummy).
We already found out that updating the state when using the remote is not going to work for RFY protocol (as the RFXtrx433 device can only send signals, not receive it for RFY), but I need someone to test is for the other protocols. Do one of you have a cover that does not use the RFY protocol and have a remote? If your are willing to do a little test for me, I would be grateful. Instructions are in this topic
Much appreciated @Ernst. The ācurrent stateā would be an excellent addition!
Iām happy to do some testing for you. Iām using Louvolite battery powered blinds (I believe are same as Dooya) āDC106 T6 Blindsā type if thatās any use to you?
Yes, sure. I donāt have a cover device myself, so every test by you is helpful. My program skills are limited, so at least a test by others is very welcome.
Was indeed fixed in 0.104 version of HA, restored my old automations now.
yay, well, lucky i was too busy to do the workaround in the meantime, time to get back into it. thanks guys
I think it was only a fix for some devices.
For my Dolat Blinds its the wrong fix.
My covers are going reversed.
