Hi, i also have some problems with my Time Based Covers. My motors are have some delay between the switching and the actual movement (half a sec or so) and when i stop them many times it screws up the timing.
I did some resource and i think this part should to be edited in the esphome/components/time_based/time_based_cover.cpp and an extra configuration option like CONF_COVER_START_DELAY would do the trick.
this->current_operation = dir;
const uint32_t now = millis();
this->start_dir_time_ = now + cover_start_delay;
this->last_recompute_time_ = now;
But im not sure and these suggestions are not tested :)
Best Regards Pistifonok
Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like Covers (Rolladen) in Germany need some time to open, they have a special pre-open state where the blinds move away from each other to let a little bit of light through. Only after that the blinds start to open. With that the 50% position will never be at the halfway point of the window.
Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried: I initially wanted to implement the Tasmota way of calculating the position via time, Tasmota has additional calibration points (like a halfway point). For this to be implemented an additional component needs to be created.
I thought it might be much easier if the time calculation could be accessible via a lambda to be modified from the template itself.
