Top-Down Bottom-up support? #240

Checklist

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Is there support for top-down/bottom-up blinds? My "default" position is that the bottom third of the window is covered (we're on a busy street). If it's not in, I'll look into adding it if I can, but wanted to see if there was interest.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support for both top bar & bottom bar locations in Default Position & Max Position. Awareness of which bar to move to cover more of the window.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've currently got a manual implementation that only looks at cloud coverage & solar azimuth.

Additional context

This looks like a more comprehensive solution, just need to see if it works for my use-case

Hi @jacobmovingfwd for now this types of covers are not yet supported. Mainly because this integrations only looks at the bottom position of the cover to intersect with direct light rays. So that means this type of cover will operate the same as a normal vertical oriented cover.
