Configurable COVER entities to invert close/open

[CChris (Christoph)]

In my opinion, “inverting” of an entity should be a default feature for most entities / Device Classes…

That would make life so much easier in some cases

Zwave JS request to invert covers

ANy news? Would be happy.

Tile Card - Invert feature for cover

Hi all, I‘m using a Shelly 2,5 to operate the whitescreen mounted under my livingroom’s ceiling. From a logic point of view it is: closed when is is full up open when it‘s fully down. This contradicts the logic of the details page on the tile card for a cover. it would be great if a Boolean option (invert logic) could be implemented that helps to make the card play nice even in these edge scenarios.

Option to invert icon_state coloring

Sometimes, when you are using an binary sensor, the Icon is showing as active in the state of “unclocked” - and inactive when the state is locked. But in certain situations, you want to have it displayed in the opposite: Actve when the sensor is showing LOCKED and inactive, when it is unlocked. It would be great, if you would have an option in the lovelace editor where you can easily configure if an icon state should be inverted or not.

Inverting or reversing binary sensor display states

Hello Community, A lot of device classes were added in the last Home Assistant releases. One is the “Problem” device class. It is “Ok” when the sensor is offline (off) and “Problem” when the sensor is on. Its a philosophical question if this is right or wrong. My Point: In some cases it is necessary the invert the result of a binary sensor. At the moment I resolve this problem by creating an additional template sensor with state: {{ not is_state('input_boolean.my_sensor','on') }} or state…

Support for inverting entity values for energy dashboard

I use an eGauge energy monitor to monitor every circuit in my house (!!). The typical way these devices are setup is that negative values constitute ‘consumption’ and positive values constitute ‘generation’ As such, most of my 30-something entities are negative. I could create template entities for all of them to invert the value, but that’s a ton of work. What about adding an option when adding a device (or grid/solar) to the energy dashboard to invert the values? Thanks!
