Shelly 2.5 cover tilt script

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,
I’m using Shelly 2.5 to control my Venetian blinds. Since the Shelly integration (or the device) doesn’t support service cover.tilt I’m trying to figure it out using scripts.
On my dashboard I have 2 buttons for 50% & 75% position open. When I click on them I want the blinds to go that position and tilt the blinds to ~45°.

The routine goes like this:
blinds are open (position 100%) → set_cover_position 50% → wait for position “open” (tilt is 0° meaning no view through the blinds) → open_cover-> delay 900ms → stop_cover.

This way I get the ~45°.

Now I’ve got 2 problems:
a) the wait template is not working
b) I need a condition based on the state opening or closing. The script right now wouldn’t tilt when coming from a full closed status because when opening and reaching the 50% the tilt degree is already 90° and by using open_cover it wouldn’t go further. So I’d need it to close_cover.

How can I resolve this?

Any help much appreciated.

alias: move to 50%, tilt 45°
fields:
  mycover:
    description: Raffstoren auswählen
    selector:
      target:
        entity:
          domain: cover
sequence:
  - service: cover.set_cover_position
    data:
      position: 50
    target: '{{mycover}}'
  - wait_template: '{{ is_state("cover.{{mycover}", "open") }}'
  - delay: '00:00:01'
  - service: cover.open_cover
    data: {}
    target: '{{mycover}}'
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 900
  - service: cover.stop_cover
    data: {}
    target: '{{mycover}}'

If it is a venetian blind that goes on tilt after the close state i can share my code

yes please :slight_smile:

on configuration.yaml I added:

cover: !include_dir_merge_list covers
input_number: !include inputnumbers.yaml

I created an input number to configure the close position for the blind and I added it to FrontEnd
On inputnumbers.yaml I added:

tapparellacc_close_position:
  name: Camera C
#  initial: 30
  min: 0
  max: 100
  step: 1
  unit_of_measurement: "%"
  mode: slider

I created a folder covers under config and there I add a yaml file for every venetian blind that then I added to frontend (and also i published to my alexa infrastructure)

My venetian blinds are not going to tilt after complete closing. Any idea how to deal with that? For now i can just tilt playing around with the open/close toggles.

your message is not clear, could you explain more what happen and how your blinds works?

So i have blinds from Warema, i have my wall switches right now connected to a shelly 2.5 in rolle shutter mode. Controls like up/down are working normally, but if i want to tilt the blind i need to initiate an up or down command and shortly after that in the reverse direction.

Your template is just resulting in up/down commands on my side. So i guess i need something with an delay like the thread opener was mentioning.

Hope it’s more clear with that explanation, otherwise i can try to make a short video

Short update, found an article on medium.com, which point to this package Home Assistant script to control venetian blinds with Shelly · GitHub

With this Script & Automation i got my Tilt working also with the original Shelly 2.5 firmware. Just needed to tweak with the timout configuration. Maybe this will also help out somebody else

Wow, thats what i was looking for since months. I tired to install it on a fresh Home assistant instance with Shelly 2PM but completly lost. I get error message in the script as well in automation…cant save. I would be more than happy to receive a dummy guide how to install the package from medium.com. Love to offer not just a coffee :slight_smile:

How did you integrated it. You can include it inside your configruation.yaml via a package:

  packages:
    raffstore: !include packages/raffstore/cover_position_tilt.yaml

But you can also ask on medium, the author is really helpful in regards of support :slight_smile:
