Q: How to bind door or cover to specific state?

[keeema]

Hi,

I am configuring garage door and gate and I would like to use cover functionality but I don't see any way how to control when it is open and when close.

Type hidden has hide.state for this purpose, e.g.

• entity: binary_sensor.garazova_vrata_kontakt
  type3d: hide
  object_id:
  hide:
  state: 'on'

But how to provide the state to cover?

• entity: binary_sensor.garazova_vrata_kontakt
  type3d: cover
  object_id:
  cover:
  pane:
  side: up

Hello @keeema, when you define a cover you need to put an entity of the cover domain (not binary_sensor). If you use the cover domain, the card will automatically retrieve the state from the cover object open/close/percentage open, etc.

Thank you for explanation.
And what are all the acceptable values for door and what for cover?

Door is always associated to a binary sensor so, values are on and off. Cover is always associated to a cover entity and it uses the percentage open attribute to position the cover object at the right place
