Hello everyone
I have difficulties with a scene and some KNX covers. The Cover works in automations or though the manual changes.
I created the following scene:
id: "1749821544984"
name: Büro Szenentest oben
entities:
cover.buro_store_2:
current_position: 70
device_class: blind
friendly_name: Büro Store
supported_features: 127
state: open
metadata:
cover.buro_store_2:
entity_only: true
No matter where the cover is positioned when I apply the scene the cover does not move. But I hear a “cllick” from the engine, that tells me some command reached the cover through KNX, and the visualization of the entity moves to position 70%, but not the actual cover:
If I drag the slider from above image, the cover moves to the desired percentage position. I also tried an automation that I manually triggered to see if the cover works this way as well. This works also if manually triggered:
alias: deleteme
description: ""
triggers: []
conditions: []
actions:
- action: cover.set_cover_position
target:
entity_id: cover.buro_store_2
data:
position: 11
mode: single
I checked the log. I found one entry for the activated scene:
Büro Szenentest oben geändert zu 13. Juni 2025 um 15:52 , ausgelöst durch Aktion - Szene: Aktivieren
15:52:27 - Vor 10 Sekunden - epoc
I tried another approach:
id: "1749821544984"
name: Büro Szenentest oben
entities:
cover.buro_store_2:
state: open
position: 88
metadata:
cover.buro_store_2:
entity_only: true
this resulted in more entries in the log:
OG wurde geöffnet , ausgelöst durch Aktion - Szene: Aktivieren
15:56:29 - Vor 29 Sekunden - epoc
Büro Store wurde geöffnet , ausgelöst durch Aktion - Szene: Aktivieren
15:56:29 - Vor 29 Sekunden - epoc
OG wird geöffnet
15:56:29 - Vor 29 Sekunden - epoc
Büro Store wird geöffnet
15:56:29 - Vor 29 Sekunden - epoc
Büro Szenentest oben geändert zu 13. Juni 2025 um 15:56 , ausgelöst durch Aktion - Szene: Aktivieren
15:56:29 - Vor 29 Sekunden - epoc
This still resulted in a click sound of the motor, but the cover did not move, and also the percentage of the entity in HA did not change from the percentage it had before activating the scene.
My final goal is to create scenes for hot days, on for the morning and another for the afternoon. Where some covers need to be closed, others can be open.
These scenes I would then trigger from automations.
Instead of scenes I could just use cover.set_cover_position in automations. But I think scenes would be a cleaner approach.
Am I missing something?
