1. A motorized window treatment positioning controller, comprising:
control circuitry to:
receive one or more input signals;
determine whether the one or more received input signals include a deviation from a defined automated control state;
responsive to the determination that the one or more received input signals include a deviation from a defined automated control state, select one of a plurality of override control states based on the received inputs;
transition from the automated control state to the selected override control state;
determine a position of the window treatment based on the selected override control state and at least one of the one or more received input signals; and
cause an actuator operatively coupled to the window treatment to transition the window treatment to the determined new position.
