Adaptive Cover Pro

Home Assistant custom integration that controls vertical blinds, horizontal awnings, and venetian (tilt) blinds based on sun position — filtering direct sunlight while maximizing natural light, with climate-aware operation.

Builds on the template sensor from the HA community forum post Automatic Blinds.

Highlights

• Three cover types — vertical blinds, horizontal awnings, venetian (tilt)
• Basic & Climate modes — geometric sun tracking + a temperature-aware strategy for winter / summer / intermediate
• 10-handler override pipeline — force override → weather → manual → custom position → motion → cloud suppression → climate → glare zones → solar → default
• Safety overrides — force override (rain/wind/fire), weather safety, manual override that pauses on physical/app/voice moves
• Always-on diagnostics — decision trace, sun position, position verification; debug mode without YAML
• 15 runtime services (v2.18.0+) — change any setting from automations without opening the Options UI
• Enhanced geometric accuracy — angle-dependent safety margins, optional window depth and sill height
