Combine switch and cover - Garage Door opener and Gate Opener

Configuration
1

Hello all,

I have small issue (probably lack of knowledge). I have zigbee Garage door opener which is a switch entity and I have gate opener which is cover entity.

I want to make simple “automation / helper” which in one button press will open both and in second with close both.

Gate have also entity called select which have a state so:

select.brama_wjazdowa_position = OPEN (its open)
select.brama_wjazdowa_position = CLOSED (its closed)
select.brama_wjazdowa_position = HALF (its half open for humans to walk)

For garage door I have: switch.brama_garazowa_trigger

Hello Spec,

I suspect you could use homeassistant.turn_on, or possibly use the switch as helper to change the function of the switch to match the other one.

Can you elaborate more ? About this turn_on (probably also there is turn_off) ?

Nope :frowning:

action: homeassistant.turn_on
target:
  entity_id:
    - switch.brama_garazowa_trigger
    - cover.brama_wjazdowa

Is only opening garage not gate :frowning:

Then try the other one I mentioned.

Please try to search some of these things yourself…
