Shutter automation with sun azimuth trigger and contact sensor

[Kosy (Igor St)]

Hello.

I got so much knowledge from this community that I want to share something what I did.
Below i present You the way which I made my window shutters fallow sun so it will not be dark in whole home but the sun will not heat up interior of house. IRL with outside shutter this drags temperatures by about 8 degrees.
I know there is probably elegant way of coding it but I did not touched my code since it started working.

Below is not including automation opening and closing shutters on sunrise or sundown since You probably already did it if You have shutters.

Here we go:

For simplifying thinking of automations I have crated adjusted azimuth. In simple words this is compensating what household is calling south and what actual south is You have to get this on Your own by doing some trigonometry on maps and change 27 in value template:

- platform: template
    sensors:
      sun_azimuth:
        friendly_name: "Sun Azimuth"
        unit_of_measurement: '°'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sun.sun', 'azimuth')-27|round(0) }}"

Second thing is tu prepare input boolean that will be responsible for not allowing further automations to run for eg. while watching movies on screen or during winter when we are lacking sun. I made two separate for winter and watching movies but one should be enough.

I did this by adding two input booleans in Config > Helpers.

If you have shutters (dirven by mqtt) on balcony windows and contact snsors You will be interested in adding this kind of automations for each window ( by adjusting topic) . It simply blocks tasmota device for executing orders:

              data:

                payload: ShutterLock1 0
      default: []
  mode: single
  max_exceeded: silent

Next thing You want to do is to group shutters by “so called”/household
cardinal directions since we compensated that in first step. This can be don wherever you have Your cvers configured:

  - platform: group
    name: wschod # east
    entities:
      - cover.rolepw
      - cover.rolelw 
  - platform: group
    name: zachod #west
    entities:
      - cover.roleng 
  - platform: group
    name: polnoc #north
    entities:
      - cover.rolelbw 
  - platform: group
    name: poludnie #south
    entities:
      - cover.rolegos 
      - cover.rolept 
      - cover.rolelt 
      - cover.rolepbw 

Main part: I have divided sun azimuth to diffrent directions and this is what triggers shutters. Shutters that are perpendicular (or almost) to sun rays are closed other one are slightly opened and those which are in shadow are opened.

If You have some automations that will block above ones by input_booleans you can use this to get them to actual state. This is what I use when I am done watchng movies on projector:

Well it is pretty much all of You hope It will be usefull and let me know that do You think about it.

Hi
at first thx for this i hope it will work for me and iam searching for this. but before i start i have 1 question, on what time of the day did you read your sun azimuth from 27? because it change the whole day.

[Kosy (Igor St)]

To make simple what i was trying to describe take a look at that:

It is constans.
You don`t have to wait for any specific hour to calculate that. I think even simple school protractor used with PC screen should do the work.

[Ctyd (Karl koch)]

ahh ok now i know what you mean, thx

[Johanvh (Johan Van Hoorde)]

Thank you very much to share. I’ve copy/paste ‘the main part’ and I’m happy with the result. Thanks!

[Ctyd (Karl koch)]

today i tried your automation and it works realy nice, thx for this

[XxRobOCopterxX (Robert)]

@Kosy

You will be interested in adding this kind of automations for each window ( by adjusting topic) . It simply blocks tasmota device for executing orders:

Wouldnt it be nice if the locking of the shutter is integrated in the cover model (entity) so you just need to execute something like cover.lock() and cover.unlock()?

I have allready created a Feature Request on this, so if you also like the idea maybe you can support the request so that we can get the “critical mass” to get it implemented

[Cover] Missing Functionality (Locking, Rain-, Wind-, Frost-alarm)

Hello to all, with this Feature Request I want to draw your attention to the following Requests and Discussions about the missing functionality of the topics in the header. There are multiple Requests, Discussions, and others, to implement at least the locking mechanism. My Idea was to use this Request as a summary of all. Maybe we get a “critical mass” to further drive the discussion(s). GitHub: Architecture Discussion: https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/545 KNX…

[Kosy (Igor St)]

Sorry, I have left Ha for some time.
I did upvote Your Feature Request.

[totalitarian]

Love this, where did you move to?

[Zeze21 (MH)]

I have a question for all who got it running:
Where do i put the following?

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      sun_azimuth:
        friendly_name: "Sun Azimuth"
        unit_of_measurement: "°"
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sun.sun', 'azimuth')-10|round(0) }}"

No matter where I put it (configuration.yaml or automations.yaml) i get synthax errors…
I may be to stupid to do this…
Any help i really apprechiated.

[rpontual (Romulo Pontual)]

@Zeze21 You need to add it to your configuration.yaml under a “sensor:” tag. If you do not have a sensor tag in the file simply add one.

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      sun_azimuth:
        friendly_name: 'Sun Azimuth'
        unit_of_measurement: '°'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sun.sun', 'azimuth')-10|round(0) }}"

[rafabayona]

Nice project! I achieved something similar with an Aqara Light Sensor on my balcony so the shutters don’t close on cloudy days

[Kosy (Igor St)]

Nice to hear that when sun is a little more offensive this topic is gaining some attention.

@totalitarian

Love this, where did you move to?

Thank You. Well I meant that I was just away from tweaking my HA. I have not moved to OpenHAB or any other “blaspemy”

@rafabayona

Nice project! I achieved something similar with an Aqara Light Sensor on my balcony so the shutters don’t close on cloudy days

Thank You. Well I am just testing (more like postponing this for 2 months) this modification:

condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      state: above_horizon
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.kino_rolety
      state: 'off'
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.zima_rolety
      state: 'off'
    - condition: time
      after: 07:00:00
    - condition: or
      conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: weather.dom
        state: sunny
      - condition: state
        entity_id: weather.dom
        state: partlycloudy

So if shutters wont do this if there is bad weather and You just want more light.

PS. Iff You will use part with blocking shutters when window is opened consider placing that sensor at top of Your window. I have two for every “balcony window” top one blocks ventilation bottom blocks shutter. Other windows just have top one.

[Zeze21 (MH)]

@Kosy

      - condition: state
        entity_id: weather.dom
        state: partlycloudy

So Ever since this started a lot of things happened in the world:

1. i had this running for about a year and noticed some things i wanted to change: I didn’t want my covers to close during winter. I wanted the option to add a temperature offset to the settings.
2. some guys made AI available for the public - so i thought - maybe we can shorten all this…

Here is what chat gtp came up with:
