Impossible to use a Tuya cover (smart life) in a card.

[sidwin9]

The request

My cover Smart Life is no longer usable in a map, the states do not update and the open and close buttons cannot be used since the update to version 0.109.0.
This problem is caused by the fact that when my switch turns off the power a few seconds after an action, the state changes to unknown. Another problem, if I press Stop, I no longer have the 2 possibilities to go up or down, I only have one possibility, up or down.

The alternatives

You must reset the functionality as before in version 0.108.x

Additional information

The cover states in the database are correct and update and the use of the cover.open_cover and cover.close_cover services are working properly.

Please share the states + a screenshot at the moment you believe the UI is not right.

Hello,

Unknown state after automatic shutdown of the blind power supply after a few seconds. No action possible

After pressing stop after partial opening of the blind, only one action possible

I didn't have this problem with previous versions of Home Assistant

[sidwin9]

I got around the problem with a template cover, but that does not solve the problem of a single possibility after a stop

- platform: template
covers:
store_terrasse:
friendly_name: "Store Terrasse"
open_cover:
service: script.1588234357264
close_cover:
service: script.1588234416379
stop_cover:
service: script.1588234488607
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('cover.328214383c71bf312919', 'open') %}open
{% elif is_state('cover.328214383c71bf312919', 'closed') %}closed
{% else %}{{ states('sensor.store_terrasse_state') }}
{% endif %}

Please share the states from /developer-tools/state especially for the stop case.

Hi,

One click on ↓ and one clic stop after 3 seconds


If back to version 0.108.9 or 0.108.8 there is no longer this problem, we can click on ↓ and ↑

Exactly the same problem for other users. See the same topic

I’ve got a similar issue with MQTT covers on 0.109. All buttons are greyed out except the stop buttons that do nothing.

Interestingly, I have a few covers grouped and the groups are fine. Once the blinds have been operated via the group, the blinds in that group become available in the card. Similarly, if I operate a cover by calling a service, that blind becomes available. A restart of Home Assistant will deactivate the individual MQTT blinds in the card once more.

Sample from my config:

- platform: mqtt
  name: "Dixon Street Left"
  command_topic: "home/cover/set"
  payload_open: "{\"name\": \"dixon_l\", \"command\": \"up\"}"
  payload_close: "{\"name\": \"dixon_l\", \"command\": \"down\"}"
  payload_stop: "{\"name\": \"dixon_l\", \"command\": \"stop\"}"
- platform: mqtt
  name: "Dixon Street Right"
  command_topic: "home/cover/set"
  payload_open: "{\"name\": \"dixon_r\", \"command\": \"up\"}"
  payload_close: "{\"name\": \"dixon_r\", \"command\": \"down\"}"
  payload_stop: "{\"name\": \"dixon_r\", \"command\": \"stop\"}"

- platform: group
  name: "Dixon Street"
  entities:
    - cover.dixon_street_left
    - cover.dixon_street_right

What the card looks like when it doesn't let me operate certain blinds:

State:

State for the group which is working:

Seems this occurs when the current state of the cover is unknown? Trouble is, my covers are dumb and communication with them is one way. They never report a state.

Hi,

I don't have this problem with RFLink covers

I have in all situations the possibility of activating ↓ or ↑

[bramkragten]

The problem is that the state is reported as unknown, that is wrong.
