Configuration Automation

Automation

Variables	Default	Range	Description
Minimum Delta Position	2	1-90	Minimum position change required before another change can occur
Minimum Delta Time	2		Minimum time gap between position change
Position Match Tolerance	3	0-20	Dead-band (in %) within which a cover is treated as already at the target, so no command is (re)sent. Raise this when a motor settles a few percent short of fully open/closed (e.g. reports 98% when commanded to 100%) and keeps emitting repeated commands / audible relay clicks. Applies to every command path, including force and weather-safety overrides — if the cover is within tolerance of the safety target, no command fires. Also used by the Position Verification reconciliation loop. Default 3 preserves the long-standing reconciliation tolerance.
Start Time	"00:00:00"		Earliest time a cover can be adjusted after midnight
Start Time Entity	None		The earliest moment a cover may be changed after midnight. Overrides the start_time value
Manual Override Duration	2 hours		Minimum duration for manual control status to remain active
Manual Override reset Timer	False		Resets duration timer each time the position changes while the manual control status is active
Manual Override Threshold	None	1-99	Minimal position change to be recognized as manual change
Manual Override ignore intermediate states	False		Ignore StateChangedEvents that have state opening or closing
Only engage manual override from ACP commands	False		When enabled, only position changes routed through the ACP proxy entity or the adaptive_cover_pro.set_position service engage manual override; changes from other automations, the default HA cover card, and physical/RF remotes are ignored. Enable this — and drive covers via the Proxy Cover Entity or the ACP Card — if you get false manual overrides. See Troubleshooting → workaround.
End Time	"00:00:00"		Latest time a cover can be adjusted each day
End Time Entity	None		The latest moment a cover may be changed . Overrides the end_time value
Adjust at end time	False		Make sure to always update the position to the default setting at the end time. Only fires when Automatic Control is ON; if Automatic Control is disabled, covers stay where they are at end time.
Motion Sensors (Occupancy-based control)
Motion Sensors for Occupancy Control	None (empty)		List of binary sensors that control sun positioning based on room occupancy. When ANY sensor detects motion, covers use automatic positioning. When ALL sensors show no motion for the timeout duration, covers return to default position. Leave empty to disable feature.
Motion Timeout Duration	300	30-3600	Duration (in seconds) to wait after last motion before returning covers to default position. Prevents rapid position changes when motion sensors toggle frequently. Default: 300 seconds (5 minutes).
