Is it possible to make the existing override apply on HomeKit based commands? Or is there a workaround?

I enabled "Always re-send open/close at endpoints", but this option does not work when the cover receives a `set_cover_position` command for an endpoint that is already considered reached. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Close a cover using …

I have an issue whereby a blind will show up correctly in HomeKit, i.e. the status at rest is correct either open or closed. If I "click" the blind in HomeKit it will start moving to change the state. On its way to the new state it will show the in motion status inverted An example: 1) the blind is open and labelled correctly as open in HomeKit 2) I click the blind in HomeKit to close it 3) The status will change to "opening...", while it is actually closing 4) Once it is fully closed the status will change to the correct = Closed
