  name: Dual Relay blinds control
  description: '# Dual Relay Blinds/Shades control

    Allows control of blinds, shades or other cover-like mechanisms that are driven
    by an interlocking dual relay device, where only one relay can be on at a time.


    These devices are readily availalble from multiple manufacturers.


    The dual relay device also needs an inching function for the best functionality.
    That way the switch entities will turn themselves off when idle, and you can save
    button presses or switch clicks.


    The motor for your blinds needs to stop at set points automatically. This is the
    case with most cheap DC tube motors for shades you would order online.


    ## Configuration requires 4 entities:

    + One switch entity for up/open

    + One switch entity for down/close

    + An input_boolean for the current state/last move (on is up/open, off is down/closed).

    + An entity which will act as a momentary switch to open, close, or stop the blinds.
    A switch or input_boolean is recommended.


    ## Function:

    + If the relays are both off, the shades will move in the oposite direction from
    their last move, and the state boolean will be updated.

    + If either the up switch or down switch is on, it will turn both off '
