| 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 | |
| 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 β and drive covers via the Proxy Cover Entity or the ACP Card β if you get false manual overrides. See Troubleshooting β 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). |
