Configure Better Cover directly from each device page.

Open Settings → Devices & services → Devices and select your Better Cover blind or group. The Configuration section now exposes:

  • Number controls for limits, positions, sun geometry, brightness thresholds, temperature deadband, and timing.
  • Time controls for daytime, nighttime privacy, and morning reset.
  • Switches for inversion and window limits during manual pauses.
  • Dropdowns for the hardware cover, lift/tilt channel, and all sensor sources.
  • Add/remove member controls on group devices.

Edits save automatically. Routine changes apply without reloading the controller or clearing manual pauses or vacancy timers. Changing the vacancy sensor starts a fresh vacancy timer. Changing hardware cover or lift/tilt channel reloads the controller and preserves its saved manual pause.

Update through HACS and restart Home Assistant. Existing devices, controls, and saved settings are preserved; the configuration entities are added automatically. The integration Configure menu remains an optional alternative editor.

37 tests pass, including real Home Assistant number/time/switch/select service calls, persistence, input validation, live sensor subscription changes, and group membership edits.
