Control covers?

[itpeters]

Hi @fredck ,

I have four smart blinds in my basement that all share a top position, but one of the four is shorter than the other three. (It sounds a little odd but actually makes sense in the room.)

I found myself wishing I could control them more naturally as a group. I currently have them grouped in HA, but when setting them to a position other than fully open or fully closed, it's a little unfortunate that they don't visually line up. As a current lightener user, I immediately wondered whether lightener could create a cover group that allowed me more sophisticated control of the cover ranges (so that the oddball shade would line up with the others at arbitrary percentages).

I see that you mentioned this in #26 as originally part of the scope of the integration but eventually set aside. I was curious if your thinking remains the same there? Assuming you want lightener to remain light-specific, do you have any thoughts on what would be involved in hacking up a version that works for shades, before I dive into it?

Thanks!
