Command Line Cover
A command_line
cover platform that issues specific commands when it is moved up, down and stopped. It allows anyone to integrate any type of cover into Home Assistant that can be controlled from the command line.
To enable a command line cover in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
- platform: command_line
covers:
garage_door:
command_open: move_command up garage
command_close: move_command down garage
command_stop: move_command stop garage
Configuration Variables
The array that contains all command line covers.
Name of the command line cover as slug. Multiple entries are possible.
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.
if specified, command_state
will ignore the result code of the command but the template evaluating will indicate the position of the cover. For example, if your command_state
returns a string “open”, using value_template
as in the example configuration above will allow you to translate that into the valid state 100
.
Examples
In this section you find some real-life examples of how to use this sensor.
