Configuration Summary

The Configuration Summary gives you a plain-English view of everything you've configured for a cover, without having to click through each settings page.

Where to find it

  • During initial setup: Shown automatically as the last step before the integration entry is created. Review your settings and click Submit to confirm.
  • At any time: Open a cover's options (Settings β†’ Devices & Services β†’ Adaptive Cover Pro β†’ Configure) and choose Configuration Summary from the menu.

What it shows

The summary is organized into four sections:

Your Cover: the cover type, entity IDs being controlled, and physical dimensions (window height, shaded area distance, optional reveal depth and sill height for vertical blinds; awning length and angle for awnings; slat depth and spacing for tilt blinds).

How It Decides: a narrative explanation of every active rule in the order they are evaluated. Each bullet explains what triggers the rule and what the cover does:

  • β˜€οΈ Sun tracking: azimuth, field of view, and elevation limits
  • πŸ•’ Timing: active window (start/end times) and sunset/end-time position
  • πŸŸ₯ Blind spot: angular range where an obstruction blocks the sun
  • πŸ”† Glare zones: named floor areas protected from direct sunlight (vertical blinds only)
  • 🌑️ Climate mode: temperature-based open/close strategy with entities and thresholds
  • ☁️ Cloud suppression: skips sun tracking when lux, irradiance, or cloud coverage indicate no direct sun
  • πŸ“Š Light sensors (informational): noted when configured but suppression is off
  • βœ‹ Manual override: pause duration, position threshold, and reset behavior
  • 🚢 Motion-based control: sensor count, timeout, and fallback position
  • 🌧️ Weather safety: active weather conditions (wind speed, rain rate, binary sensors) and retract position
  • πŸ”’ Force override: sensor count, target position, and the note that it overrides everything else

Only rules that are configured and active are shown. Unconfigured features are omitted.

Position Limits: a compact one-line summary of the default position, min/max range (with a note if the range only applies during sun tracking), minimum position change, minimum interval between moves, and any active flags (inverse state, interpolation).

Decision Priority: a single line showing all 10 pipeline handlers in priority order with βœ… (active in your config) or ❌ (not configured) for each:

βœ…Force(100) β†’ βœ…Weather(90) β†’ βœ…Manual(80) β†’ ❌Custom(77) β†’ ❌Motion(75) β†’ βœ…Cloud(60)
 β†’ βœ…Climate(50) β†’ ❌Glare(45) β†’ βœ…Solar(40) β†’ βœ…Default(0)

This answers the common question: "what overrides what?" The leftmost βœ… handler that fires wins.

When it's useful

  • Before saving a new cover: catch a misconfigured threshold or missing sensor before the cover goes live.
  • After changing settings: confirm the change had the effect you expected.
  • When troubleshooting: the priority chain shows at a glance which handlers are active and whether the right one would fire. For deeper per-turn diagnostics, see Step 1: Check the Decision Trace.
  • Sharing your config: the summary is self-contained and human-readable, making it easy to share when asking for help.
