Proposed change

The feature for cover position has the slider "inverted". I understand the reason of this decision, but this is driving me crazy since the beginning and I'm not the only one: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/reverse-slider-display/746748 so I decided to add an "optional" parameter to disable the inversion.

Type of change

  • Dependency upgrade
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (thank you!)
  • Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break)
  • Code quality improvements to existing code or addition of tests

Example configuration

Simply a new optional invert option is available. If false, then the inversion disappears.

features:
  - type: "cover-position"
    invert: false

Additional information

Checklist

  • The code change is tested and works locally.
  • There is no commented out code in this PR.
  • Tests have been added to verify that the new code works.

If user exposed functionality or configuration variables are added/changed:

Take a look at my PR: #17687 and the reasoning behind closing it, but I fully agree that this should be at least an option.
Maybe this time we will get a green light.

Hey good idea, but we decided to not do this officially because it is a very complex topic also in the backend.
The issue is that a cover can have too much purposes, we hope we can fix that in the future by splitting it up.

I do understand your pain points about this and you can add for you and the community a custom feature for this behavior (see documentation).

I am sorry.

All the best
Wendelin
