Each press of a button should lower the cover by 25% from the current position
entity: cover.salon_store_se
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: cover.set_cover_position
service_data:
entity_id: cover.salon_store_se
position: "{{ state_attr('cover.salon_store_se', 'current_position')|int - 25 }}"
The code return an INT error.
i think youve missed a space before and after the |
"{{ state_attr('cover.salon_store_se', 'current_position') | int - 25 }}"
Is the current position a percentage? What is the value before you subtract 25 from it?
That makes no difference. xx | int is the same as xx|int or xx |int etc.
You can’t use templates in lovelace service calls, you need a card like this in order to use templates in lovelace.
You also need to take into consideration when the position is currently < 25, because this will not work as you have it now.
I didn’t realise the spaces were insignificant, sorry about that.
I think you could make a script that sets the new value based on this template, then use the button to trigger the script.
That’s exactly what I would do, and pass over the cover entity to the script, so that you can use it for multiple buttons easily.
the script did the trick. Thanks a lot.
entity: cover.salon_store_se
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: script.lower_blind
Can you elaborate on how to pass the entity-id to the script. I am afraid this is beyond my current knowledge

See the docs here -> https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/#passing-variables-to-scripts
Thanks again for the help
I learned a lot today.
Brilliant

Well, my test worked fine but now trying to use the variables in the script is giving me headaches.
My element on the UI is defined as follows:
- type: state-icon
title: BlindSE
icon: mdi:arrow-down
entity: cover.salon_store_se
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: script.set_blind
variables:
blind: "cover.salon_store_se"
pos: "-25"
tilt: "45"
style:
and the script:
set_blind:
alias: 'Lower Blind'
sequence:
- service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
entity_id: "{{ blind }}"
position: "{{ state_attr('blind', 'current_position')|int - 'pos' }}"
- service: cover.set_cover_tilt_position
data:
entity_id: "{{ blind }}"
tilt_position: "{{ tilt }}"
but the position statement does not work…
Remove the single quotes around pos and blind in your script. When you add quotes it will be interpreted as a string.
set_blind:
alias: 'Lower Blind'
sequence:
- service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
entity_id: "{{ blind }}"
position: "{{ state_attr(blind, 'current_position')|int - pos }}"
- service: cover.set_cover_tilt_position
data:
entity_id: "{{ blind }}"
tilt_position: "{{ tilt }}"
Thanks for the help
Tried that but getting
Error rendering data template: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’
don’t mind the + I changed the sign from - to + since I am sending an negative number (-25)
OK I fixed it
needed |int for pos variable
- service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
entity_id: "{{ blind }}"
position: "{{ state_attr(blind, 'current_position')|int + pos |int }}"
thanks again for the support
Try castingthe variable pos as an int like this
pos|int
Yes that was it…
Thx
Hi,
I am trying to achieve the same thing mentioned above.
I have a template cover. Below is the code.
- platform: template
covers:
virtual_cover_1:
device_class: shade
friendly_name: "Virtual Cover 1"
open_cover:
service: script.new_script
close_cover:
stop_cover:
set_cover_position:
set_cover_tilt_position:
and a script that opens the cover by 25% each time it runs
service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
position: >
{% set new_position =
(state_attr('cover.virtual_cover_1','current_position') | int) + 25 %}
{% if new_position <= 100 -%}
{{ new_position }}
{%- else -%}
100
{%- endif %}
target:
entity_id: cover.virtual_cover_1
enabled: true
This script is supposed to run when i click the open_cover button in the cover card. But it does not execute. The open cover button opens the blind 100% without stopping at current_position+25
But if I run the script individually, it runs perfectly. Attaching screengrab below
What am I doing wrong here…
@petro … Hei… i have seen you reply on a lot of topics connected with tempate cover. could you please help me out on this??
is this tap action defined on an additional helper button, or are you using the same up and down button on the cover card??
i tried adding a script to the cover card button, but doesent work. for just a sec, the button press stops at 25%, but then goes to 100%. i am only able to get cover closed 0% or cover open 100%. When i add an addition la button helper and aggign the scrip to that button, then the cover moves poperly ay 25% increment on each click. What am i dong wrong here…
this is my code for the cover card.
type: custom:mushroom-cover-card
show_buttons_control: true
entity: cover.virtual_cover_1
show_position_control: true
show_tilt_position_control: true
fill_container: false
My cover template code is as follows
- platform: template
covers:
virtual_cover_1:
device_class: shade
friendly_name: "Virtual Cover 1"
open_cover:
service: script.new_script
close_cover:
stop_cover:
set_cover_position:
set_cover_tilt_position:
and my script is
alias: New Script
sequence:
- service: cover.set_cover_position
data:
position: >
{% set new_position =
(state_attr('cover.virtual_cover_1','current_position') | int) + 25 %}
{% if new_position <= 100 %}
{{ new_position }}
{% else %}
100
{% endif %}
target:
entity_id: cover.virtual_cover_1
enabled: true
