Hello,
I have several Covers which are controlled by Tuya and the status of these covers are not displayed correct. HA says they are down but they are currently up.
Changing the wires of the hardware switch turns the status of the covers in HA to open, but then the hardware switch is wrong. Then you have to press the down-button to rise the cover. Is there any possibility to invert the status of the covers?

Thanks

You could create template covers that invert the states.

lilac heron You could create template covers that invert the states.

Wouldn't that be a feature request for a future update? The integration "spook" can invert, but only switches and binary sensors, no covers or shades.

Well, yes and no. The integration itself should do it properly, but it’s Tuya, so that’ll happen “someday”. A template cover can be added in your YAML config and it can invert the positions in code.

Okay, since HA is still new territory for me, I have to see how to create such a template
