Tradfri blinds - working week and weekend automation

Hi guys,

I have recently started to play with Home assistant [installed HASSIO OS on a raspberry pi 4], so basically I am a newbie in all this. May I kindly ask for your help with an automation I built for Ikea Tradfri blinds [onlyone at this point, just to see how it works].

What I tried to achieve is/was:

to split the week days in working days and weekend
to have a specific time when the blinds go up / down
to have the least number of automations [ I end up with two ]

Note: I used - service: cover.set_cover_position instead of cover.close/open_cover because when it was opening, was opening full [regardless of the fact that I set the open value in the gateway]

Question 1 > is there any other way to define when the blind should close, instead of using the ‘delay’ or the ‘sun’?
Question 2 > is there any better way to to built it to end up with only one automation?

[I hope that I found the proper formatting for the config ]

Thank you

Hi,

Just as an update > it doesnt fully work. The blinds are opening in the morning and set to configured position, but after that, in the evening, they are not closing

Thanks
