Custom cover component for Homeassistant

timedcover

Custom cover component for Homeassistant based on @PhracturedBlue's work.

Just put the files under custom_components/timedcover folder.

Add your timed cover to configuration.yaml as follows:

cover:
  - platform: timedcover
    covers:
      bedroom_cover:
        friendly_name: 'Bedroom Cover'
        open_cover:
          service: switch.turn_on
          entity_id: switch.bedroom_cover
        close_cover:
          service: switch.turn_off
          entity_id: switch.bedroom_cover
        stop_cover:
          service: switch.turn_on
          entity_id: switch.bedroom_cover_stop                  
        opening_time: XX
        closing_time: YY
        tilt_optimistic: false

Update the opening time(XX) and closing time(YY) in seconds.

timedcover's Issues

Trigger for outside-HA switching

Component works ok if you control it from HA only.
If you use other way to "push" Sonoff relays up or down (through MQTT or whatever) the component will not run timer and update positon.
I guess triggers should be implemented, if are not, to triger timers when some other script/action/whatever commanded Sonoff to open/close up/down relays.

Thanks, great component btw! :)

HACS

Can we get this into HACS? https://github.com/custom-components/hacs
I'd be happy to help write the required files ;)

friendly name ? device class ?

Should implement friendly name for covers created this way, this way it is fixed.
Also, mdi:icons, if not whole "device class" some can use this for garage doors, roller blinds, shades etc...
This way tilt part should show up only if appropriate class
