Where to prescribe the status for the curtain

Configuration
1

I have a Zenio MAXinBOX SHUTTER 8CH v2 curtain controller.
I have entered the following configuration in the HA, i.e.

cover:
 name: “White curtain1 cabinet”
    move_long_address: “1/7/13”
    stop_address: “1/7/15”
    traveling_time_down: 51
    traveling_time_up: 61

That is, I can lower and raise the curtain 1 or 0 at address 1/7/13 and I can stop the curtain 1/7/15
But I have in ETS the status of the curtain, what it is doing at the moment is lowered or raised, and I have not found how to add it to the HA, can you tell me ?

2 
position_address: "x/x/x"
position_state_address: "x/x/x"

Those are for the % position, as far as what its doing during the travel; there is no object for that in HA KNX as far as i can see. The cover in HA does support that tho.
What i do is update the % every 1 second in the KNX Actor so i get kinda of a “movement”

And how do you do it can you show me an example ?

I made the settings in ETS as you have on the screenshot, but HA does not show me the percentage of opening or closing of the curtains
The config in HA is for channel A maybe I have mapped the parameters from ETS wrong ?
but opening closing the curtain and stopping the curtain via HA works fine.

    move_long_address: "1/7/1" # this is parameter 270 in ETS for channel A
    stop_address: "1/7/3" # is parameter 271
    position_address: "1/7/45" # is parameter 275
    position_state_address: "1/7/46" # is parameter 280
    traveling_time_down: 60
    traveling_time_up: 60

ETS screen where you can see the numbers 270,271, 275, 280 for the parameters, to make it clear what I mean.

The main address 1.1.50 (on the screenshot) for Zenio MAXinBOX SHUTTER 8CH v2 we do not use in any way in the config for HA ?

Those are % and not binary like object 280
object 275 should be the status object in %

For position_address i think it should be object 274

Since i cannot see the group adressen i can only point at the objects.

No, like any other thing in KNX we do not care about the x.x.x address as thats just a fixed location where the device “lives”, everything in KNX is dealt with with group addresses and that is wht HA and any other Visu will use.

Only ETS cares where a device is, rest of the bus just wants a message in the group it’s output/input is in.

I put in the position_address group address from the 274 parameter and I saw when I opened the curtain that it shows percentages when it moves, but there are a few BUTs.

  1. I see the same thing in other curtains that I did not set position_address and position_state_address in HA!
  2. The actual opening and closing time of the awning is about half of what HA shows
  3. Why we in HA do not use parameters 278 and 279 that tell the status of the relay what it is doing at the moment opens or closes, if they can be used how ?
