automate-home curtains example project
======================================
An example project for the [automate-home project](https://github.com/majamassarini/automate-home).
A collection of files which define automation rules for 3 different curtains **Appliances**.
- [curtain.indoor.blackout.Appliance](https://automate-home.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appliances.html#curtain-indoor-blackout-appliance)
- [curtain.outdoor.Appliance](https://automate-home.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appliances.html#curtain-outdoor-appliance)
- [curtain.outdoor.bedroom.Appliance](https://automate-home.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appliances.html#curtain-outdoor-bedroom-appliance)
Every *Appliance* automates a device, through a *Performer*.
The automated devices are 3 equals **KNX** actuators for blind/shutters which understand just an *opened* and a *closed command*.
To automate the curtains 2 sensors are used:
- [sensor.luxmeter.Appliance](https://automate-home.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appliances.html#sensor-luxmeter-appliance); data come from a **KNX** sensor.
- [sensor.anemometer.Appliance](https://automate-home.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appliances.html#sensor-anemometer-appliance); data come from an **Home Assistant** virtual sensor listening a weewx supported device.
## Project notes
1. The *indoor blackout curtain* is not completely automated, the system is just able to open it and not to close it.
This is because my window does not have a sensor telling the system if it is opened; if the indoor curtain goes
down when the window is opened it is a huge problem.
2. The *outdoor curtain* has the *sun hit* event disabled, the event which tells the curtain if the sun is hitting its
window.
This is because I want more light in the room in the winter.
