Cover State Unknown for Tilt-Only Blinds #114542

Open Lonestar10 opened 6 months ago

Lonestar10 commented 6 months ago

The problem

Are blinds considered a Cover? If so, there is a problem. The state of Z-wave blinds is reported as unknown. Ever since the introduction of Window Covering v1 CC, the state of a tilt-only blind is reported as unknown and cannot be accurately controlled by Home Assistant.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.3.3

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

core-2023.6

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue

ZwaveJS UI

No response

Diagnostics information

The state of a cover entity is based on its position, not its tilt, so a tilt-only cover does not have a state.
HAB Home Intelligence manufactures iBlinds (www.myiblinds,com). They sent a test unit to Home Assistant at HA's request, but this problem as not been resolved.

Has this gained any traction? This was posted in march and I see other issues posted last year for this. I just purchased some of the myiblinds and am experiencing this issue.

I tried to jump-start discussion of some different potential solutions over in https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/908#discussioncomment-8128515 a few months ago, but never got much traction. 🤷 There is also a more general discussion about covers over in https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/979 .

I prototyped some of the different proposed solutions in branches (1C, 2A). Personally, I have been running the 1C option at home with my iBlinds for a few months now and generally happy with it (but YMMV). It's been on my todo list (though realistically not anytime soon) to check how well it works with automations like https://github.com/basbruss/adaptive-cover , before pushing it further.
