I used Velux App Control KIG 300 This is my first issue, hopefully you've all information needed.

[Jc2k]

Homekit devices do not necessarily support everything home assistant does. When the error tells you something is not supported there is a good chance that is what the problem is. Cover.stop in particular comes up a lot in this regard.

[Rene66Fi]

Could be, but I think this is a basic function. More complex function like set_cover_position are implemented

The response to the HTTP-request is strange for me: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

[Jc2k]

Please attach a diagnostic download as requested in the ticket template. Then I can verify whether your device has hap.characteristic.position.hold.

[Jc2k]

Please also update to the latest release of HA.

[Rene66Fi]

I updated HA-> same problem. Do you think the VELUX-Gateway does not support the hold function?

Please find attached the diagnostic-File: config_entry-homekit_controller-1ed9354564c17e853a372494cec0c6c0.json (1).txt

[Jc2k]

If your device supported it, it would have this uuid in that file:

0000006F-0000-1000-8000-0026BB76529

If it doesn't there is nothing HA can do.

(It doesn't).

[Rene66Fi]

VELUX Gateway does not support hold/stop_cover function.

Many thanks for the fast support!
