Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

No response

Additional information

I don't see any relevant errors in the logs, but I can see that the service call was successful. The state of the cover changed to opening within a few milliseconds and then to open within ~10 seconds. It's not clear what the automation is waiting for.

Solved: since I'm calling the script directly, it waits for the script to be complete. Updating that action to script.turn_on should resolve the issue.
