Currently, automation can only be turned off by fully closing the blinds (either up or down) and leaving the toggle switch thrown in the direction the blinds are closed. There is no way to prevent the blinds from being shut at sunset. A solution would be to set a soft stop at the midpoint of the blinds range such that if you are actuating the blinds with the toggle switch, the blinds will stop in the middle until you lift the toggle switch back to neutral, and then flip the switch again to "step over" the stop in the middle. If you simply flipped the switch down and left it there, the blinds would stop in the middle position and the toggle switch would be still activated (pulling the logic to ground) thus automation could be disabled at this stage with the blinds remaining open.
