DJGummikuhIs there a way to control blinds in #homeassistant that allows "absolute" positioning of blinds with only two binary signals and some sort of integral? I'd want to be able to set my blinds to e.g. 25% and have it calculate the amount of time the shade motor needs to be on in which direction, given the speed of the motor and the currently stored position. Ideas?
kroimon@DJGummikuh you might want to look into #ESPHome and it's time-based cover component: https://esphome.io/components/cover/time_based/
@kroimon mh alao not what I'm looking for. I already have shelly 2-channel smart relays installed and would prefer something purely in HA to work with that
@kroimon but interesting that they have that. Had to build something similar from scratch 10 years ago in another life 😅
@DJGummikuh Don't those already have a cover/blinds mode in their default firmware? I am also using Shellys for my rolling shutters, but I flashed them with ESPHome and am using the current-based cover component there.
@kroimon wait you can flash shellys with esphome???????????????
farmio / Matthias Alphart@DJGummikuh @kroimon There's a custom components that essentially does the same without ESPHome. It's not maintained anymore, but worth a try. https://github.com/nagyrobi/home-assistant-custom-components-cover-rf-time-based
GitHub - nagyrobi/home-assistant-custom-components-cover-rf-time-based: Time-based cover with customizable scripts or entity to trigger opening, stopping and closing. Position is calculated based on the fraction of time spent by the cover traveling up or down. State can be updated with information based on external sensors.

Sven Kloppenburg@DJGummikuh @kroimon which shellys are you using? My Shelly 2PM Gen3 work with home ssistant and can be set to x percent open. They needed „calibration“ through their own web ui though.
