Describe the issue
I have configured the integration and really like the way it should work but i don't undestand why my blind are closing due to the reason outsided temperature is way below minimum, climate mode turned on and the inside temp is in the optimum spot. It is possible the miss configured something, i appreciate your help
Reproduction steps
- Set up everthing
- wait till temp is below minimum temp
- see the vertical blind go to fully down position

Same here. Default position is 100%, no presence sensor set up, control method sensor shows "winter" but cover is still being opened and closed as if in summer mode.
I would expect covers being opened whole day in winter.
Also seeing this same behavior... I've deleted and re-built the entry for the shades, and I'm not using any presence detection. When the temp is below the threshold, the cover mode correctly displays "winter", but the blinds close to the position they would take during the "intermediate" control.
My hunch is that the climate mode's functionality is somehow tied to the presence detection, and if there isn't a presence entity set, the logic gets broken somehow. But that's just a hunch.
Did either of you figure out a solution or work-around for this?
Unfortantly not, i turn off the automatic mode during winter and i can confirme that the presence detection is not the probleme cause i have configured it.
I did find one other similar issue thread here: https://github.com/basbruss/adaptive-cover/issues/304
Which helped me tweak the calculation.py file to correctly account for being in "Winter" mode and also below the temperature threshold.
As for your specific issue, if you add that tweak and the blinds are closing all the way (0% openness) when the inside temp is below the threshold and the blinds are in winter mode, I wonder if you have blinds that are inverted, where 0% actually means all the way open and not closed.
Anyway, just thought I'd share the link to that thread, the fix for the winter mode issue is in there.
