Just does not work

[DrJohnT]

Running on Home Assistant 0.112.3

Installed vertical-slider-cover-card using HACS v0.0.6

Attempted to configure plugin using following in Lovelace UI. However,

1. Blinds are not controlled - cannot open or close them
2. Title simply reads "open" when in fact they were partly open, so not getting % open correctly
3. positionHeight simply does not increase height of bar

My YAML below. Screenshot provided. Other screenshot is a working set of controls using https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-slider-entity-row

type: 'custom:vertical-slider-cover-card'
countText: blinds open
icon: 'mdi:blinds'
panelType: true
positionHeight: 800px
positionWidth: 200px
title: Blinds
entities:
  - entity: cover.velux_north_study_blind
    name: Study North
  - entity: cover.velux_south_study_blind
    name: Study South
  - entity: cover.velux_north_bedroom_blind
    name: Bedroom North
  - entity: cover.velux_south_bedroom_blind

Does your cover show current_position in % or 0-100? Find it on Developer Tools > States. Any thing weird on your browser console (please open Developer Tools/Menu in your browser).

Have you tried to reinstall card then clear browser cache?

This is probably why. Reports "open" and position is an attribute. Although my Velux blinds do have a stop feature, does not seem to be present via the Apple HomeKit integration. My config is documented here, so you can read how I integrated the blinds and windows. https://github.com/DrJohnT/HomeAssistantPublicConfig

Well documented and organized configurations! I like it but still can't find covers' configurations. Anyway, I guess supported_features: 7 is the cause of issue. Please upgrade to v0.0.7 and let me know if the issue still persists!

Hey Wolverinevn, I finally got around to trying then new version. The controls now work so I can open/close the blinds. Thanks!

Here is my config and questions are on the image. Key thing is that the button at bottom left hand side does not show. Also, my blinds don't have a stop feature (at least via the Apple HomeKit interface used by HA). So would be nice to have a "showStopButton = false" option.

• To show the button: showButton: show. Sorry for the confusion! In v0.0.8, showButton will be change to true/false as others
• I will add new option to completely hide STOP button in new release.
• All font sizes are changed dynamically due to all width related options
• ... please see new release note

P/s: I'm impressed with the way you configured your card using var() value. Thanks for your very detailed feedback!

Close it now due to no activity for a long time.
