Opening a window to let air in does not work well if your covers are shut, therefore I wrote a small blueprint to automatically set the tilt after opening/closing a window.
blueprint:
name: Window Cover Tilt Control
domain: automation
input:
window_sensor:
name: Window Sensor
selector:
entity:
domain: binary_sensor
cover_entity:
name: Cover
selector:
entity:
domain: cover
open_tilt:
name: Open Tilt Position
default: 100
selector:
number:
min: 0
max: 100
unit_of_measurement: "%"
close_tilt:
name: Close Tilt Position
default: 0
selector:
number:
min: 0
max: 100
unit_of_measurement: "%"
position_threshold:
name: Cover Position Threshold
description: Only adjust tilt if cover at least that percentage open
default: 80
selector:
number:
min: 0
max: 100
unit_of_measurement: "%"
open_delay:
name: Open Delay
default: 5
selector:
number:
min: 0
max: 600
unit_of_measurement: seconds
close_delay:
name: Close Delay
default: 5
selector:
number:
min: 0
max: 600
unit_of_measurement: seconds
mode: restart
trigger:
- platform: state

to: "on"
for: !input open_delay
id: opened
- platform: state
entity_id: !input window_sensor
to: "off"
for: !input close_delay
id: closed
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ state_attr(cover_entity, 'current_position') | int(0) >= position_threshold | int }}"
variables:
cover_entity: !input cover_entity
position_threshold: !input position_threshold
action:
