Hi there,
I have a template cover on my Home Assistant that is using a Broadlink Rf bridge to transmit the open/close signal to my blinds.
I have no way of tracking the state of the blinds, and don’t care much for it at this time. However, Home Assistant remembers the last command sent to the blinds, and assumes the state of the blinds.
The problem is that in case anyone at home used the remote to open/close the blinds, then the remembered state will be wrong and the front end button will be greyed out and not usable.
Here is what my config looks like, any help is appreciated.
