Hey everyone, I’m diving into the world of home automation and I’m facing an interesting challenge with my IKEA blinds. I’ve set up a script to automate the opening of three blinds in my living room, but I’m running into an issue with the third one not responding as expected. Here’s what’s happening:
I want the blinds to open sequentially: the first one starts, waits 5 seconds, the second begins, waits another 5 seconds, and then the third should open. The first two work perfectly, but the third one just doesn’t budge. I’ve tried adjusting the timing, checking the device IDs, and even restarting the system, but no luck yet.
Here’s the YAML configuration I’m using:
yaml
script:
open_blinds:
sequence:
- service: cover.open_cover
data:
entity_id: cover.blind_1
- delay: 00:00:05
- service: cover.open_cover
data:
entity_id: cover.blind_2
- delay: 00:00:05
- service: cover.open_cover
data:
entity_id: cover.blind_3
I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing in the configuration or if there’s a better way to structure this script. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue or have a workaround? I’d love to hear your thoughts and solutions!
Thanks in advance for your help!
