To use this component in your installation, you have to either set RF-sending scripts to open, close and stop the cover (see below), or use an existing cover entity provided by another integration, which is missing the features provided here. Add the configuration to your configuration.yaml.Create the required scripts in scripts.yaml.

Install using HACS, or manually: copy all files in custom_components/cover_rf_time_based to your /custom_components/cover_rf_time_based/ directory.The entities generated by this component have assumed states, which are remembered between Home Assistant restarts. The component adds two services set_known_position and set_known_action which allow updating HA in response to external stimuli like sensors. When you use it to extend functionality of an existing cover implementation, this component will generate a new cover entity with these new features. For example, you can use RF-bridge or dual-gang switch running Tasmota or ESPHome firmware integrated like in the examples shown below. The idea is to embed your triggers into scripts which can be hooked into this component via config. You can adapt it to your requirements, actually any cover system could be used which uses 3 triggers: up, stop, down.

There's also a custom service available where you can update the real state of the cover based on external sensors if you want to. When you use this component, you can forget about the cover's original remote controllers or switches, because there's no feedback from the cover about its real state, state is assumed based on the last command sent from Home Assistant. You can set position from within Home Assistant using service calls. Position is calculated based on the fraction of time spent by the cover travelling up or down. You either have to set triggering scripts to open, close and stop the cover or you can use an existing cover entity provided by another integration which does not have timing or status feedback. With this component you can add a time-based cover. Cover Time Based Component for your Home-Assistant based on davidramosweb's Cover Time Based Component, modified for native cover entities, covers triggered by RF commands, or any other unidirectional methods.
