📖 CCA Handbook › Blueprint section: Additional Conditions
All these settings are optional
On this page: ❓ Additional Condition for the entire automation · 🔼 Additional Condition For Opening The Cover · 🔻 Additional Condition For Closing The Cover · 💨 Additional Condition For Activating Ventilation · 💨 Additional Condition For Disabling Ventilation · 🥵 Additional Condition When Activating Sun Shading · 🥵 Additional Condition For Sun Shading Tilt · 🥵 Additional Condition When Deactivating Sun Shading
🧩 Input:
auto_global_condition
This condition allows you to control the execution of the entire automation dynamically and outside of the blueprint configuration. With this option you could enable a party mode.
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
The result of the conditions must be false, for the automation to stop in this sequence.
Forcing Open/Close/Shading/Ventilation is therefore only possible if this condition remains empty or becomes valid.
🧩 Input:
auto_up_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the opening of the cover. You can use this, for example, if the covers normally don’t open, but you really want to do it on vacation.
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
If it is false, CCA does not send the opening movement — neither at the opening time nor as a later return to the open position (e.g. when sun shading ends, a window closes or after a restart). The internal day state still advances at the opening time, so a cover you open by hand is treated as open for the rest of the day instead of being closed again by the next automatic event. Sun shading and ventilation keep their own conditions and are not affected.
🧩 Input:
auto_down_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the closing of the cover. You can use this, for example, at Christmas time or if you want the covers to behave differently while on vacation.
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
If it is false, CCA does not send the closing movement — neither at the closing time nor as a later return to the closed position (e.g. when sun shading ends, a window closes, a resident arrives or after a restart). The internal night state still advances at the closing time, so a cover you close by hand is treated as closed for the night instead of being reopened by the next automatic event. Sun shading and ventilation keep their own conditions and are not affected.
🧩 Input:
auto_ventilate_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the start of the ventilation of the cover, including the proactive movement to the Full Ventilation Position when a window is fully opened.
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
If it is false, CCA does not send that ventilation-start movement. For a fully opened window the lockout itself remains active: the open state is recorded and later closing or sun-shading movement stays blocked while the contact remains open.
🧩 Input:
auto_ventilate_end_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the end of the ventilation of the cover.
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
The result of the conditions must be false, for the automation to stop in this sequence.
🧩 Input:
auto_shading_start_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the shading-IN-automation of the cover. This can be useful if you want to temporarily disable automation (e.g. because of control by other automations).
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
The result of the conditions must be false, for the automation to stop in this sequence.
Another example: Here you could also set that the shading is only triggered in the summer season.
🧩 Input:
auto_shading_tilt_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the shading_tilt-IN-automation of the cover. This can be useful if you want to temporarily disable automation (e.g. because of control by other automations).
Another example: Here you could also set that the tilting is only triggered in the summer season.
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
The result of the conditions must be false, for the automation to stop in this sequence.
🧩 Input:
auto_shading_end_condition
This condition can be used to dynamically control the shading-OUT-automation of the cover. This can be useful if you want to temporarily disable automation (e.g. because of control by other automations).
If the result of this condition is true, the automation will continue.
The result of the conditions must be false, for the automation to stop in this sequence.
