Shadow Control is the migration of my Edomi-LBS "Beschattungssteuerung-NG" to Home Assistant. As Edomi was sentenced to death and because I'm not really happy with the existing solutions to automate my shutters, I decided to migrate my LBS (Edomi name for LogicBauStein, a logic block) to a Home Assistant integration. To do so was a nice deep dive into the backgrounds of Home Assistant, the idea behind and how it works. Feel free to use the integration on your needs.
Within further description:
- The word "facade" is similar to "window" or "door," as it simply references the azimuth of an object in the sense of viewing direction from within that object to the outside.
- The word "shutter" references rolling shutters. In the Home Assistant terminology, this is called a "cover". From the pov of this integration it's the same.
- The whole internal logic was initially developed to interact with a KNX system, so the main difference is the handling of %-values. Shadow Control will interact with Home Assistant correct, but the configuration as well as the log output is using 0% as fully open and 100% as fully closed.
- Most options are available with two flavors for each configuration: Once as a static configuration and once as an entity configuration. If you need to configure something without the possibility to change that value on demand, you should use the static configuration entry. If you need to modify something on demand, use the entity configuration and choose the corresponding entity, which holds the required value. If you change the used entity, it will be taken into account within the next execution of the integration instance.
- Control venetian blinds or vertical blinds based on brightness thresholds and timers
- Height and slat angle are separately configurable for shadow and dawn
- Shadow respectively dawn position after a brightness threshold plus time X
- Look through position after a brightness threshold plus time Y
- Open after time Z
- Sun area restrictable
- Lockable positioning
- Restrictable movement direction
- Configurable "no shadow" area
- Configurable stepping
- Separate entity for dawn positioning possible
- Configuration using ConfigFlow or YAML is possible
Based on several input values, the integration handles the positioning of rolling shutters. To do so, the integration needs to be configured with the azimuth of the facade, for which the shutters should be controlled. Additionally, some offset and min-max values will be used to define the area within the facade is illuminated by the sun. If the sun is within that range and the configured brightness threshold is exceeded for a (also configurable) amount of time, the shutters will be positioned to prevent direct sunlight in the room.
The determined shutter height and tilt angle depend on the current brightness, configured thresholds, dimensions of your shutter slats, some timers, and more settings. The different timers will be activated according to the current state of the integration.
In general, there are two different operation modes: Shadow and Dawn. Both modes will be configured independently.
The integration will be triggered by updating the following entities:
- Brightness
- Brightness (dawn)
- Sun elevation
- Sun azimuth
- Lock integration
- Lock integration with position
- Shadow handling dis-/enabled state
- Dawn handling dis-/enabled state
The configured cover entity will only be updated if a value has changed since the last run of the integration, which prevents unnecessary movements.
Shadow Control is a default HACS integration, so you can install the integration by searching for it within HACS. After that, restart Home-Assistant and add the integration.
The configuration is split into a minimalistic initial configuration, which results in a fully working cover automation and a separate configuration flow of all available options.
The initial instance configuration is very minimalistic and requires only the following configuration entries. Everything else will be setup up with default values, which you might tweak to your needs afterward. See section Additional options.
name
A descriptive and unique name for this Shadow Control instance. A sanitized version of this name will be used to mark corresponding log entries of this instance within the Home Assistant main log file.
facade_shutter_type_static
Configuration of the used shutter type. Default is pivoting range of 0°-90° (yaml: mode1). These shutters are fully closed (vertical) at 90° and horizontally open at 0°.
Other supported types:
- Shutter type with a movement range from 0°-180° (yaml:
mode2), whereas these shutters are closed to the inside at 0°, horizontally open at 90°, and closed to the outside at 180°. - Vertical blinds (yaml:
mode3). With this type all the angle settings will be suppressed.
This setting can't be changed later on. To do so, you need to remove the instance of the shutter and recreate it from scratch.
target_cover_entity
The cover entities, which should be handled by this Shadow Control instance. You can add as many covers as you like, but the recommendation is to use only these covers, which have at least the same azimuth. For any further calculation, only the first configured cover will be used. All other covers will just be positioned as the first one.
facade_azimuth_static
Azimuth of the facade in degrees, for which the integration should be configured. This is the viewing direction from the inside to the outside. A perfectly north facade has an Azimuth of 0°, a perfectly south facade has an Azimuth of 180°. The sun area at this facade is the range, from which a shadow handling is desired. This is a maximal range of 180°, from azimuth_facade + offset_sun_in to azimuth_facade + offset_sun_out.
rdeckard has provided a nice drawing to the Edomi-LBS, which is still valid at this point:
brightness_entity
This input needs to be configured with the current brightness, which usually comes from a weather station. The value should match the real brightness on this facade as much as possible.
sun_elevation_entity
This input should be filled with the current elevation of the sun. Usually this value comes from a weather station or the home assistant internal sun entity. Possible values are within the range from 0° (horizontal) to 90° (vertical).
sun_azimuth_entity
This input should be filled with the current azimuth of the sun. Usually this value comes from a weather station or the home assistant internal sun entity. Possible values are within the range from 0° to 359°.
The following options will be available by a separate config flow, which will open up with a click on "Configure" at the desired instance right on Settings > Integrations > Shadow Control.
target_cover_entity
See the description at Covers to maintain.
facade_azimuth_static
See the description at Facade azimuth.
facade_offset_sun_in_static
Negative offset to facade_azimuth_static, from which shadow handling should be done. If the azimuth of the sun is lower than facade_azimuth_static + facade_offset_sun_in_static, no shadow handling will be performed. Valid range: -90–0, default: -90
facade_offset_sun_out_static
Positive offset to facade_azimuth_static, up to which shadow handling should be done. If the azimuth of the sun is higher than facade_azimuth_static + facade_offset_sun_out_static, no shadow handling will be performed. Valid range: 0–90, default: 90
facade_elevation_sun_min_static
Minimal elevation (height) of the sun in degrees. If the effective (!) elevation is lower than this value, no shadow handling will be performed. A use case for this configuration is another building in front of the facade, which throws shadow onto the facade, whereas the weather station on the roof is still full in the sun. Valid range: 0–90, default: 0
Hint regarding effective elevation: To compute the right shutter angle, the elevation of the sun in the right angle to the facade must be computed. This so-called "effective elevation" is written to the log. If the shadow handling is not working as desired, especially nearly the limits of the given azimuth offsets, this value needs attention.
facade_elevation_sun_max_static
Maximal elevation (height) of the sun in degrees. If the effective (!) elevation is higher than this value, no shadow handling will be performed. A use case for this configuration is a balcony from the story above, which throws shadow onto the facade, whereas the weather station on the roof is still full in the sun. Valid range: 0–90, default: 90
debug_enabled
With this switch, the debug mode for this instance could be activated. If activated, there will be much more detailed output within the Home Assistant main log file.
facade_neutral_pos_height_static / facade_neutral_pos_height_entity
Shutter height position in state NEUTRAL. The integration will switch to NEUTRAL if
- the integration is within a shadow- or a dawn-state and the corresponding regulation will be deactivated or
- the sun leaves the facade range.
Default: 0
facade_neutral_pos_angle_static / facade_neutral_pos_angle_entity
Shutter angle position in state NEUTRAL. Everything else is described in the previous configuration entry. Default: 0
facade_slat_width_static)
The Width of the shutter slats in mm. Width and distance are required to compute the angle, which is used to close the shutter only that much, to prevent direct sun rays within the room. The slat width must be larger than the slat distance, otherwise it's impossible to set up the correct shadow position. Default: 95
facade_slat_distance_static
The distance of the shutter slats in mm. Everything else is described in the previous configuration entry. Default: 67
facade_slat_angle_offset_static
Angle offset in %. This value will be added to the computed slat angle and could be used if the computed angle needs to be corrected. This could be necessary if the shadow position has a slight gap, which lets the sun pass through. Default: 0
facade_slat_min_angle_static
Min shutter slat angle in %. The slat position will be in the range of this value and 100%. This option could be used to restrict the opening range of the shutter slats. Default: 0
facade_shutter_stepping_height_static
Stepping size for shutter height positioning. Most shutters could not handle repositioning of small values within the percent range. To handle this, the height will be modified in steps of a given size. Increasing or decreasing elevation of the sun will be handled properly. Default: 5
facade_shutter_stepping_angle_static
Same as "Height stepping" but for the shutter slat angle positioning. Default: 5
facade_light_strip_width_static
Width of a desired light strip. With this setting could be configured, how "deep" the sun should shine directly into the room. According to this setting, during shadow the shutter will not be at a height position of 100% (aka full closed) but instead at a computed height position, which produces the desired light strip. Default: 0
facade_shutter_height_static
To compute the light strip given with the previous configuration option, the integration needs to know the overall height of the shutter (or window). The same unit as on light bar width must be used. Default: 1000
facade_modification_tolerance_height_static
Tolerance range for external shutter height modification. If the calculated height is within the range of current height plus/minus this value, the integration will not lock itself. Default: 8
facade_modification_tolerance_angle_static
Same as Tolerance height modification but for the shutter slat angle. Default: 5
The options within this section are called "dynamic settings," as they might be modified "dynamically." That covers such things like position updates of the sun or modification of the integration behavior in general.
brightness_entity
See the description at Brightness.
brightness_dawn_entity
A second brightness value could be configured here, which is used to calculate shutter position at dawn. This is especially useful if
- more than one brightness is used, e.g., with different sensors per facade and
- more than one facade should be automated, and so more than one integration is configured.
If you're using more than one brightness sensor, you might set up an automation, which computes the median for all these values. After that, use that automation as input here. All the shutters will move to dawn position at the same time, even if it's currently brighter on one facade than on the other side of the building.
If you have only one brightness sensor, this input should not be configured. Let the input stay empty in this case.
sun_elevation_entity
See the description at Sun elevation.
sun_azimuth_entity
See the description at Sun azimuth.
lock_integration_entity
If this input is set to 'off,' the integration works as desired by updating the output (as long as the input lock_integration_with_position is not set to 'on').
If the input is set to 'on,' the integration gets locked. That means the integration is internally still working, but the configured shutter will not be updated and stay at the current position. With this approach, the integration is able to immediately move the shutter to the right position, as soon as it gets unlocked again.
lock_integration_with_position_entity
If this input is set to 'off,' the integration works as desired by updating the output (as long as the input lock_integration is not set to 'on').
If the input is set to 'on,' the integration gets locked. That means the integration is internally still working, but the configured shutter will be moved to the position, configured with the inputs 'lock_height' and 'lock_angle.' With this approach, the integration is able to immediately move the shutter to the right position, as soon as it gets unlocked again.
This input has precedence over 'lock_integration.' If both lock inputs are set 'on,' the shutter will be moved to the configured lock position.
lock_height_static / lock_height_entity
Height in %, which should be set if integration gets locked by 'lock_integration_with_position.'
lock_angle_static / lock_angle_entity
Angle in %, which should be set if integration gets locked by 'lock_integration_with_position.'
movement_restriction_height_static / movement_restriction_height_entity
With this setting, the movement direction could be restricted:
- "No restriction" (UI) or
no_restriction(yaml, entity; default value) No restriction on shutter movement. The automation will open or close the shutter. - "Only close" (UI) or
only_close(yaml, entity) In comparison to the last (previous) position, only closing positions will be activated. - "Only open" (UI) or
only_open(yaml, entity) In comparison to the last (previous) position, only opening positions will be activated.
This could be used to prevent shutters from being opened after the sun goes down and close them some minutes later because of starting dawn. This setting might be modified using a timer clock or other appropriate automation.
movement_restriction_angle_static / movement_restriction_angle_entity
Same as Movement restriction height but for the shutter slat angle.
enforce_positioning_entity
This input could be wired with a boolean entity. If this entity is switched to "on," the shutter positioning will be enforced. That means that with every run of the integration, the shutter will be positioned. This could be used to align the shutter position with the computed position of the integration but should normally not be activated all the time. Otherwise, the shutter slats might close and immediately open again as that is how rolling shutters work: At first the move to the given height and position the shutter slats afterward.
shadow_control_enabled_static / shadow_control_enabled_entity
With this option, the whole shadow handling could be de-/activated. Default: on
shadow_brightness_threshold_static / shadow_brightness_threshold_entity
This is the brightness threshold in Lux. If the threshold is exceeded, the timer shadow_after_seconds is started. Default: 50000
shadow_after_seconds_static / shadow_after_seconds_entity
This is the number of seconds which should be passed after the exceedance of shadow_brightness_threshold, until the shutter will be moved to the shadow position. Default: 120
shadow_shutter_max_height_static / shadow_shutter_max_height_entity
Max height of the shutter in case of shadow position in %. Default: 100
shadow_shutter_max_angle_static / shadow_shutter_max_angle_entity
Max angle of the shutter in case of shadow position in %. Default: 100
shadow_shutter_look_through_seconds_static / shadow_shutter_look_through_seconds_entity
If brightness falls below the value of shadow_brightness_threshold, the shutter slats will be moved to horizontal position after the configured number of seconds. Default: 900
shadow_shutter_open_seconds_static / shadow_shutter_open_seconds_entity
If brightness stays below the value of shadow_brightness_threshold, the shutter will be fully opened after the configured number of seconds. Default: 3600
shadow_shutter_look_through_angle_static / shadow_shutter_look_through_angle_entity
This is the shutter slat angle in %, which should be used at the "look through" position. Default: 0
shadow_height_after_sun_static / shadow_height_after_sun_entity
This is the shutter height in %, which should be set after the shadow position. Default: 0
shadow_angle_after_sun_static / shadow_angle_after_sun_entity
This is the shutter angle in %, which should be set after the shadow position. Default: 0
dawn_control_enabled_static / dawn_control_enabled_entity
With this option, the whole dawn handling could be de-/activated. Default: on
dawn_brightness_threshold_static / dawn_brightness_threshold_entity
This is the brightness threshold in Lux. If the threshold is undercut, the timer dawn_after_seconds is started. Default: 500
dawn_after_seconds_static / dawn_after_seconds_entity
This is the number of seconds which should be passed after dawn_brightness_threshold was undercut, until the shutter will be moved to the dawn position. Default: 120
dawn_shutter_max_height_static / dawn_shutter_max_height_entity
Max height of the shutter in case of dawn position in %. Default: 100
dawn_shutter_max_angle_static / dawn_shutter_max_angle_entity
Max angle of the shutter in case of dawn position in %. Default: 100
dawn_shutter_look_through_seconds_static / dawn_shutter_look_through_seconds_entity
If brightness exceeds the value of dawn_brightness_threshold, the shutter slats will be moved to horizontal position after the configured number of seconds. Default: 120
dawn_shutter_open_seconds_static / dawn_shutter_open_seconds_entity
If brightness stays above the value of dawn_brightness_threshold, the shutter will be fully opened after the configured number of seconds. Default: 3600
dawn_shutter_look_through_angle_static / dawn_shutter_look_through_angle_entity
This is the shutter slat angle in %, which should be used at the "look through" position. Default: 0
dawn_height_after_dawn_static / dawn_height_after_dawn_entity
This is the shutter height in %, which should be set after the dawn position. Default: 0
dawn_angle_after_dawn_static / dawn_angle_after_dawn_entity
This is the shutter angle in %, which should be set after the dawn position. Default: 0
It is possible to configure Shadow Control instances using YAML. To do so, you need to add the corresponding configuration to configuration.yaml and restart Home Assistant. After that, the YAML configuration be loaded and Shadow Control creates the corresponding instances. These instances could be modified afterward using Home Assistant ConfigFlow. Modifications right on the YAML content is not supportet. To reload the YAML configuration, you need to remove the existing Shadow Control instances and restart Home Assistant.
The entries within the configuration follow the mentioned keywords within the documentation above. Unused keywords must be commented (disabled) or removed.

dawn_angle_after_dawn_static: 0Each instance of Shadow Control creates a device within Home Assistant, which contains the following entities for further usage:
target_height
This entity holds the used shutter height.
target_angle
This entity holds the used shutter angle. This entity is only available with shutter type mode1 and mode2.
target_angle_degrees
This entity holds the used shutter angle in degrees (°). This entity is only available with shutter type mode1 and mode2.
computed_height
Here you can find the calculated height of the cover. This value may differ from the actual height reached, for example if a movement restriction is active.
computed_angle
Here you can find the calculated slat angle of the cover. This value may differ from the actual slat angle reached, for example if a movement restriction is active. This entity is only available for cover type mode1 and mode2.
current_state / current_state_text
The entity current_state holds the current internal state of the integration as a numeric value. The following values will be available here for further usage within other automations:
- SHADOW_FULL_CLOSE_TIMER_RUNNING = 6
- SHADOW_FULL_CLOSED = 5
- SHADOW_HORIZONTAL_NEUTRAL_TIMER_RUNNING = 4
- SHADOW_HORIZONTAL_NEUTRAL = 3
- SHADOW_NEUTRAL_TIMER_RUNNING = 2
- SHADOW_NEUTRAL = 1
- NEUTRAL = 0
- DAWN_NEUTRAL = -1
- DAWN_NEUTRAL_TIMER_RUNNING = -2
- DAWN_HORIZONTAL_NEUTRAL = -3
- DAWN_HORIZONTAL_NEUTRAL_TIMER_RUNNING = -4
- DAWN_FULL_CLOSED = -5
- DAWN_FULL_CLOSE_TIMER_RUNNING = -6
Parallel to current_state, the entity current_state_text contains a textual representation aka a translated string of the current state. This string could be used right on the UI to show the current state of the corresponding Shadow Control instance.
lock_state
This entity is True, if the integration is locked. Otherwise False.
next_shutter_modification
On this entity the integration publishes the next point in time, where a running timer will be finished.
is_in_sun
This entity is either True, if the sun within the min-max-offset and the min-max-height range. Otherwise False.
Right on each device page some options could be switched on/off directly:
Modifying these options is the same as modifying them within the configuration flow.
As the Shadow Control configuration might be very extensive, there is a special service to write the current configuration using YAML format to the Home Assistant log.
For this to work, the log level of Home Assistant must be set to at least info. The following entry must be present in configuration.yaml:
logger:
default: infoThe easiest way to access the log output is via the terminal or the Home Assistant console. There, you can run the following command to continuously display the Home Assistant log:
tail -F ~/config/home-assistant.logOnce the log output is running, execute the dump service and monitor the output in the terminal. You can stop the log output afterward with Ctrl+C.
This service is available via Developer tools -> Actions by searching for dump_sc_config. If the service is triggered without further modification, the configuration of the first Shadow Control instance will be dumped to the log. That might look like this:
