Template Cover - position_template doesn't work - grayed out

[twproject]

The problem

Hi all i create this cover template to control open (position 100) /close (position 21) /tilt (between position 0 and 20) of a blind with a shelly2.5 shutter but Position Slider is grayed out.

What I’m doing wrong?

I would try to implement the set_cover_position in your template:

• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cover.template/#set_cover_position

Could you test it?
