Adapted and updated from original source: https://gist.github.com/ianlevesque/f97e3a9bfafc72cffcb4cec5059444cc

Installation

• The easiest way is to install it with HACS. First install HACS if you don't have it yet. After installation you can add this repository as a custom component in the HACS store under integrations.

• Alternatively, you can install it manually. Just copy paste the content of the custom_components/mysmartblinds folder in your config/custom_components directory. As example, you will get the cover.py file in the following path: /config/custom_components/mysmartblinds/cover.py.

Configuration

key	type	description
platform (Required)	string	mysmartblinds
username (Required)	string	Username for the MySmartBlinds application.
password (Required)	string	Password for the MySmartBlinds application.
close_position	int	Tilt position to use when closing blinds. 0 - 100
invert_open_close	boolean	Invert the open/close values. Can be used to close the blinds with the slates in the opposite direction.
include_rooms	boolean	NOTE: This feature doesn't work correctly. Always set it to False.

As mentioned above, the include_rooms should be set to False. It was in the original source and I've never seen it work, but haven't removed it either.

Example

Default configuration with credentials from a secret.yaml file:

cover:
  - platform: mysmartblinds
    username: !secret mysmartblinds_username
    password: !secret mysmartblinds_password
    include_rooms: False
    open_position: 50

Tilt the other way to close:

cover:
  - platform: mysmartblinds
    username: !secret mysmartblinds_username
    password: !secret mysmartblinds_password
    invert_open_close: True
