3. Using It in HA

Once connected, HA automatically creates a cover entity + buttons.

Device card

Control Action
▲ Open To the top
▼ Close To the bottom
■ Stop Halt
Position slider Move to any % (100% = fully open, 0% = fully closed — HA standard)
Jog up/down buttons Fine adjustment — hidden by default. Show them with EZS_HAJOG$ if needed (hide: EZS_HAJOG_OFF$, 4. Advanced Commands)

⚠️ To use the slider %, the device's Upper/Lower Limit Setup must be done. Without it, only 0/100 work. (How to set it: User Guide 2-1. Set Upper/Lower Limits — for HA-only devices without the app, see 2. Connecting the Device ②-B Step 4 or http://<blind IP>:20318/limitsetup)

Online/offline status

  • If the device loses power or its connection drops, HA shows it as "Unavailable" (after about 1–3 minutes on a Hybrid device, or about 15–45 seconds on an HA-only device).
  • When it comes back on, it automatically returns to "Available".

Automation examples

Use it in HA automations just like any other cover.

# e.g. Close the living room blind 30 min after sunset
automation:
  - alias: "Close blinds at sunset"
    trigger:
      - platform: sun
        event: sunset
        offset: "00:30:00"
    action:
      - service: cover.close_cover
        target:
          entity_id: cover.ezs16a4______

# e.g. Open to 70% at 7 AM
      - service: cover.set_cover_position
        target:
          entity_id: cover.ezs16a4______
        data:
          position: 70
