Initial Better Cover release for Home Assistant, installable through HACS custom repositories.

  • Sun tracking for shade height and slat tilt.
  • Day/night privacy schedules, room brightness, and outside-temperature comparison with a thermostat target.
  • Individual normal and window-open limits, including reversed position reporting.
  • Manual pauses with home-away, room-vacancy, and morning-reset resume triggers.
  • Groups that preserve each member's configuration.

HACS installation

Add https://github.com/chstech1/ABetterCoverController under HACS → Custom repositories with type Integration. Download Better Cover, restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings → Devices & services.

Automatic control starts OFF. Configure and verify one blind before enabling a group.

Tested against Home Assistant 2026.2.3 with 31 passing tests. Physical hardware verification is still required. The attached ZIP is for manual installation; HACS installs the integration directly from this release's repository files.
