Covers Configuration (v0.9.x YAML)¶

[!WARNING] Legacy Configuration: This page describes manual YAML configuration in /config/myhome.yaml used by MyHOME v0.9.x. In MyHOME v2.0+, covers are automatically discovered from the bus via Config Flow.

The configuration remains similar to lights and switches.
The key option is advanced (optional boolean, defaulting to false): set it to true if you have advanced cover modules that track and report real position values (e.g. Céliane 67557, Axolute H4661M2, Livinglight LN4661M2, and the F401 DIN module).

Configuration Example¶

f454:
  mac: '00:03:50:xx:xx:xx'
  cover:
    living_shutter:
      where: '11'
      name: Living room shutter
      advanced: true
      manufacturer: Legrand
      model: 67557
    kitchen_shutter:
      where: '12'
      interface: '03'
      name: Kitchen shutter
      advanced: true
      manufacturer: Legrand
      model: 67557
    dining_room_shutter:
      where: '13'
      name: Dining room shutter
      advanced: false
      manufacturer: Legrand
      model: 67557

⏱️ Timed Covers & Travel Time¶

Standard cover actuators with advanced: false do not report physical percentage feedback over the bus. For standard actuators, you can configure travel_time (duration in seconds for a full run from completely open to completely closed, default 25):

f454:
  mac: '00:03:50:xx:xx:xx'
  cover:
    bedroom_shutter:
      where: '21'
      name: Bedroom shutter
      travel_time: 18

Runtime Behaviour Notes¶

Clock Anchoring: The internal timer starts when the direction frame is acknowledged by the gateway, not when queued in Home Assistant.
Echo Handling: The gateway relays intermediate status echoes when the motor begins motion (~0.55 s); these echoes re-anchor the travel timer without resetting the travel state.
Opposite Commands: Pressing an opposite direction key on a physical wall switch halts motion immediately and updates the calculated position.
