(string)(Optional)

If given, this will act as a sensor that runs in the background and updates the state of the cover. If the command returns a 0 the indicates the cover is fully closed, whereas a 100 indicates the cover is fully open.

value_template

(template)(Optional)

if specified, command_state will ignore the result code of the command but the template evaluating will indicate the position of the cover.
