Covers Not Returning to Open When Force Close Ends

[scolby33]

I am using version 2026.01.26 of the blueprint.

When I enable the boolean entity for force close, the covers properly close.

However, when I disable this entity, the covers remain closed.

I have attached the three relevant traces:

1. enabling the force entity
2. an apparent automatic activation based on a manual position change (I did not perform such a change, I assume this is a side effect of the closure by the force entity)
3. disabling the force entity (which I would expect to open the covers, but it does not)

I have also included the configuration below:

alias: Living Room Rollladen Left Cover Control Automation

  input:

    workday_sensor: binary_sensor.workday_today_sensor
    workday_sensor_tomorrow: binary_sensor.workday_tomorrow_sensor

Please let me know if I've missed something here or what further debugging steps would be helpful.

You forgot to enable the auto recovery after a forced state. I have something like the following in my YAML:

      auto_recover_after_force: auto_recover_enabled

It is one of the tickboxes that are easily missed
