Configuration Climate

Climate

The Climate configuration is split into two sections matching the options flow: Light & Cloud (sensors for cloud suppression and brightness detection) and Temperature & Climate (temperature-based cover strategy).

---

Light & Cloud

These settings control how the integration detects overcast or low-light conditions and optionally suppresses solar tracking when direct sun is not present.

Variable	Default	Range	Description
Weather Entity	None		HA weather entity (e.g. weather.home). Used as a cloud suppression trigger via state matching and optionally as an outdoor temperature source.
Cloudy Weather States	[]		Which HA weather states count as "cloudy" for cloud suppression. Multi-select: e.g. cloudy, partlycloudy, rainy, snowy. When the weather entity matches any selected state, cloud suppression fires.
Lux Entity	None		Sensor returning measured lux (e.g. sensor.lux).
Lux Threshold	1000		Lux value below which cloud suppression fires. In non-summer climate mode, above threshold: use optimal position; below threshold: use default position or fully open in winter.
Irradiance Entity	None		Sensor returning measured irradiance (W/m²) (e.g. sensor.irradiance).
Irradiance Threshold	300		Irradiance value below which cloud suppression fires.
Cloud Coverage Entity	None		Sensor returning cloud coverage percentage.
Cloud Coverage Threshold	None	%	Cloud coverage percentage above which cloud suppression fires.
Cloud Suppression	False		Master toggle for cloud suppression. When OFF (default): lux, irradiance, and cloud coverage entities are read and exposed as sensors but do not affect cover positions. When ON: if any configured light sensor falls below its threshold (or cloud coverage exceeds its threshold, or the weather state matches), solar tracking is suppressed and the cover moves to the default position.

Note: Weather Entity, Lux, Irradiance, and Cloud Coverage are independent inputs — any one can trigger suppression on its own when Cloud Suppression is ON. Configure only the sensors you have available.

Temperature & Climate

These settings enable climate-aware cover control based on indoor and outdoor temperatures. See Climate Mode for a detailed explanation of winter, summer, and intermediate strategies.

Variable	Default	Range	Description
Climate Mode	False		Master toggle for temperature-based cover control. When OFF, temperature sensors are ignored.
Indoor Temperature Entity	None		climate.living_room | sensor.indoor_temp — temperature sensor or climate entity.
Minimum Comfort Temperature	21	0–86	Lower bound of the comfort range. Below this in winter → open covers to let solar heat in.
Maximum Comfort Temperature	25	0–86	Upper bound of the comfort range. Above this in summer → close covers to block solar heat.
Outdoor Temperature Entity	None		Outdoor temperature sensor (e.g. sensor.outdoor_temp). The Weather Entity in the Light & Cloud section can also serve as this source.
Outdoor Temperature Threshold	None		Minimum outdoor temperature for summer mode. If outdoor temperature falls below this threshold, summer closing is suppressed even if indoor temperature is high.
Presence Entity	None		Binary sensor for room occupancy. When configured and the room is unoccupied, climate mode is skipped.
Transparent Blind	False		Enable for sheer or translucent blinds. Affects the winter-open strategy: a transparent blind still filters some light even when fully open, so the integration uses a calculated position rather than fully opening.
Winter Close for Insulation	False		When ON: in winter conditions (cold outdoor temperature), close covers at night for thermal insulation, even when there is no sun.
