Configuration Custom Position

Up to 4 custom position slots, each pairing a binary sensor with a fixed cover position. When the sensor is on, the cover moves to the configured position (priority 77 by default, overriding solar and climate but not manual or force override). Each slot has an independent configurable priority (1β99).
| Variable | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Position Sensor 1β4 | None | Binary sensor entity. When on, triggers the custom position for that slot. |
|
| Custom Position 1β4 | 0 | 0β100 | Cover position (%) to move to when the sensor is active. |
| Custom Position Priority 1β4 | 77 | 1β99 | Pipeline evaluation priority for this slot. Higher = evaluated before lower-numbered handlers. Multiple slots are evaluated in descending priority order. |
| Minimum Mode 1β4 | Off | When enabled, the position acts as a minimum floor β the cover won't go below it, but higher positions from solar tracking or other handlers are still allowed through. When disabled (default), the cover is always set to exactly the configured position. | |
| Use My Preset 1β4 | Off | When enabled, sends the Somfy My position command instead of the numeric position value. Requires My Position Value to be set in Position settings. See My Position Support. |
Example use cases:
- A bedroom schedule sensor forces blinds closed (0%) for an afternoon nap
- A movie sensor moves living room blinds to 80% when the TV is on
- A Somfy cover uses its stored My preset when a specific scene is active
- Multiple sensors at different priorities let you stack logic (e.g. "watching TV" overrides general solar but a "morning coffee" sensor takes priority over both)
