Cover Control Card - Support icons for slatted blinds

[Robert_P]

Hello,

I would like to suggest adding icon support in the Cover Control Card for motorized blinds with adjustable slats, such as:

• external horizontal facade blinds with tilting slats

• internal venetian blinds with adjustable slats

This use case is currently theoretical on my side, but it has already been verified in Home Assistant. My physical remote is still on the way, so I cannot yet confirm the full real-device behavior in practice.

The reason for this request is that the current card presentation seems to be designed mainly for vertical curtains and drapes. For installations using blinds with adjustable lamellas/slats such as Somfy-driven systems, more suitable iconography would make the UI much clearer and more intuitive.

It would be very helpful to have:

• a dedicated icon for venetian blinds

• a dedicated icon for external facade blinds

• ideally, icons that visually suggest slat tilt / lamella adjustment

Even if this is initially only a visual enhancement, it would better reflect this type of cover in Home Assistant dashboards and improve usability.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Best regards,

Robert
