:robot::window: ZHA - Automatically calibrate Zigbee covers

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Github Link Click Here

:warning:You must be on Home Assistant Version 2024.10 or later.

This blueprint allows for automatic calibration for Zigbe covers (only tested for TS130F) without the need to calculate open/close times or manually issue Zigbee Cluster Commands.
It requires to have a mobile_app integration to send notifications.

I was having a hard time calibrating my covers, and saw people saying that you needed to count the seconds that the covers take to open or close, and write that attribute into the Zigbee cluster. Too much work for 10 covers in my house.
I then stumbled upon this Github comment explaining the real calibration process. But again too much work for all my covers. I decided to then automate that process.

How do the automation works?

1. CLOSES the cover
2. You will receive a notification to confirm when the cover is closed
3. OPENS the cover
4. You will receive a notification to confirm when the cover is open
5. CLOSES the cover
6. You will receive a notification to confirm when the cover is closed
7. Cover is CALIBRATED

Thanks, your blueprint was a lifesaver :slight_smile: I had to slightly change your blueprint to make it work. As documented here, the device selector returns the device id of the selected device. Therefore, we can simply pass the returned device id to device_attr. Feel free to change your gist according to my changes over here.

Hi,

I got your version to run, however seems that the calibration is still off.
Once the process is complete and I confirm on the last window. my Blinds are completely shut but in app I see that they are:

OPEN: 28%

Any ideas how can I get it to work or any information I can provide to help with the solution?

Hi,
I’ve created an automation through your blueprint and I’ve selected the cover with the phone to receive the notifications.

But when I try to execute I’m getting on logs:
Error rendering variables: TemplateError: Must provide a device or entity ID

This is the device info:
TS130F
by _TZ3210_ol1uhvza
Firmware: 0x00000081

Any idea? @matlec ?

Hi, I just found this interesting post. However I am not able to run it. I imported the blueprint and created an automation.
But it does not start when I choose “run action”
The affected trace is empty

Cheers

Meanwhile I have calibrated 3 devices manually. 2 of them are o.k. The third bothers me. After some minutes after the last action it goes to a 1% open state. In the log I see: “device is closing” and 5 seconds later: “device was opened”.
Any idea?
