Configuration

Now all we have to do is configure Home Assistant to learn about our new hardware so it can control it. We’ll be using the MQTT Cover component. I had to modify the code for this component and it’s waiting to be included in the next release

cover:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Living Room 0"
    command_topic: "livingRoom0/onOff"
    tilt_command_topic: "livingRoom0/tilt"
    tilt_status_topic: "livingRoom0/status"
    tilt_closed_value: 180
    tilt_opened_value: 80
    device_class: 'window'
    tilt_max: 180
    tilt_min: 80
    tilt_invert_state: True

After restarting Home Assistant you should see the cover component and if you click on it you’ll see the tilt controls
