current_tilt_position error in roller blinds automations

[sotatech]

Hi,

Thank you for this fantastically versatile blueprint. One minor problem I have is that I'm getting a lot of errors in the logs:

Master Bedroom Cover Control Automation (CCA): Error in 'choose[6]' evaluation: In 'or' (item 1 of 2): In 'template' condition: UndefinedError: 'homeassistant.util.read_only_dict.ReadOnlyDict object' has no attribute 'current_position' In 'or' (item 2 of 2): In 'template' condition: UndefinedError: 'homeassistant.util.read_only_dict.ReadOnlyDict object' has no attribute 'current_tilt_position'

I have roller blinds installed, so there is no tilt function. Here is my automation:

alias: Master Bedroom Cover Control Automation (CCA)
description: ""

I have a lot of blinds so these errors are constantly spamming the logs.

Thanks!

Could you please upload a trace for me? I don't have an explanation for this without further details.
Thank you very much.

Hi, trace attached as requested. Thanks for your help.

However, I cannot see in this trace that this trigger generated a warning. Do you have an error in the HA log at this point in time?

[sotatech]

It appears that the times of the errors in the logs do not coincide with the times that the automation has been triggered. I've had to reboot my system several times to troubleshoot an unrelated problem, so the errors may only be appearing at startup? Here is part of the logs after startup just now:

I restarted Home Assistant again while watching the Home Assistant Core logs and I can see the warning message being logged for each blind at the end of startup.

I did a little research and noticed the same error today during a temporary failure of a roller blind device.

I therefore think that your devices either really don't have the attribute. I could intercept that in the code.
But could it be that your device goes offline from time to time?

[hvorragend]

I found the location of the error and can intercept it somehow. Nevertheless, I think there is something wrong with your device. Otherwise, this would not occur.

I have 8 roller blinds driven by Somfy 240V AC motors connected to a KNX controller so they are completely hard wired. They all work fine with your blueprint and I have never noticed any problems with them. It seems mainly to occur after a HA restart, so perhaps the KNX integration is not ready when the autoamions are loaded?
