Hi @InToSSH , I have the same problem, did you solved it.
If you have the same problem, then you’re using the wrong variable or your template is bad. No help can be provided without your configuration. It’s also best to start a new topic. When you revive old topics like this, they fall off the front page quickly unless there’s people watching the thread. This is why everyone’s question after @InToSSH’s question has gone unanswered.
Hello @drphungky and @Dreamray
I am really sorry about the delay and I know it’s probably too late, but I wanted to respond in case somebody else needs this in the future. I got caught up with a project and didn’t have much time to play with HA or monitor this forum.
This is the currently working config I am using for tilt:
- platform: template
covers:
living_room_cover_tilt:
friendly_name: "Living Room Cover Tilt"
position_template: "{{ state_attr('cover.living_room_cover', 'current_tilt_position') | int }}"
availability_template: "{% if is_state('cover.living_room_cover', 'unavailable') %} false {% else %} true {% endif %}"
device_class: blind
open_cover:
service: cover.open_cover_tilt
data:
entity_id: cover.living_room_cover
close_cover:
service: cover.close_cover_tilt
data:
entity_id: cover.living_room_cover
set_cover_position:
service: cover.set_cover_tilt_position
data_template:
entity_id: cover.living_room_cover
tilt_position: "{{position}}"

I think I gave up on getting Google to work with tilting the blinds. Weirdly, it did work for a while, but not sure if it was my current settings or not. Maybe google home was quietly testing tilt functionality for exposed blinds, who knows. I ended up abandoning my discoverable over MQTT microcontroller and did the whole thing in ESPHome. I don’t use tilt in this file anymore, but last I recall it did work in Home Assistant - I just took the buttons off the dashboard so it matches the remote (which as I mentioned above, only has up, down, and stop buttons - tilt is just down all the way, and stop doubles as “favorite” which is closed.) Full config is below in case anyone wants to steal the format:

This is what I did in ESPHome, which is running on Shelly 2.5, which is connected directly in place of my previous up/down buttons on my blind. This exposes the cover with tilt in my HA, then I separated the tilt to separate cover using the code above and I am using it as a separate cover in Google Home to control the tilt with my voice.

This worked perfectly! Thank you!
I have the Z-Wave iBlinds 3 which work great within Home Assistant but where exposed to Google Assistant as unavailable.
I installed your template and after a quick HA restart, I had working blinds in Google Home app/Google Assistant.
For reference, here is what the state and attributes of the original iBlinds entity (top) looks like compared to the newly created cover template (bottom):
Hello @InToSSH, I am trying to find a solution about a similar issue. Can you look at the coding below and find a solution for me?
In the smart curtain system I have been using for a long time, I can only raise and lower the curtain. But when the power is cut off, I want the motor to remember where it left off and continue. Plus I want to be able to raise and lower the curtain to the desired %. Can you help me with this?
