Fix cover/shade support

[alexbrasetvik]

I've only tested this with 2023.5.x, and this would be my first stab at anything homeassistant.

Depending on jankrib/xcomfort-python#11, this works with all my shades, including setting a direct position.

Hi @alexbrasetvik,

Firstly, thank you for your efforts in testing and working on this update. It sounds promising, especially if it's compatible with setting a direct position for all shades.

However, I'm a bit unsure of how to proceed with testing this myself. I'm currently using HAOS and HACS and would appreciate some guidance on how to install the dependency jankrib/xcomfort-python#11.

I tried cloning https://github.com/jankrib/xcomfort-python/ repo and checkout alexbrasetvik:fix-shades branch in the HA terminal. But I am unable to run pip install . there.

Any help on the installation would be highly appreciated!

@eliasdjup I'm a homeassistant beginner myself, and not familiar with with HAOS or HACS, but this was my way of manually getting it going:

• From this repo, ha-xcomfort-bridge/custom_components/xcomfort_bridge needs to go into /path/to/home-assistant/custom_components. You probably have the existing version in there already.
• You probably also have the existing version of the xcomfort library from the other repo. I removed the dependency on this library from manifest.json so it doesn't try to reinstall or fail to install the yet-to-be-released version, then dropped my changes into /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/xcomfort/. If that's some other path for you, run python -c 'import xcomfort; print(xcomfort.__file__)' to find where.

There might be less blunt and better ways of doing it with HAOS, but this got me going at least. :)
