  ```
 
+Some blinds devices do not support going to a specific position, even though they are modeled as Rollershutter items.

 Window covering can have a number of optional characteristics like horizontal & vertical tilt, obstruction status and hold position trigger.
 If your blind supports tilt, and you want to control tilt via HomeKit you need to define blind as a group.
