Cover Template doesn't appear

Configuration

Hello,

I have some curtains that operate via an RF remote, and I would like to control them.
I’ve already set up a Broadlink RM4 Pro in HA and have captured the RF codes for open, close and stop all the curtains.

Now, I’d like to create a cover template for each of them, but I’m having trouble doing so.
I followed the instructions from /cover.template and although I’m not getting any errors in the code, I can’t find the cover entity anywhere.

Could you help me understand what I might be doing wrong?

Please find the code below:

template:
  - cover:
    - name: tela_8
      device_class: shade
      friendly_name: "Tela 8"
      open_cover:
        action: script.tela8_up
      close_cover:
        action: script.tela8_down
      stop_cover:
        action: script.tela8_stop

Your code looks quite a bit different than the example in the link you shared

# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      garage_door:
        device_class: garage
        friendly_name: "Garage Door"
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.garage_door')|float > 0 }}"
        open_cover:
          action: script.open_garage_door
        close_cover:
          action: script.close_garage_door
        stop_cover:
          action: script.stop_garage_door

Oh I’m sorry, that was a different code that I was testing.
At the moment the code is this, like the example:

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      tela_8:
        device_class: shade
        friendly_name: "Tela 8"
        open_cover:
          action: script.tela8_up
        close_cover:
          action: script.tela8_down
        stop_cover:
          action: script.tela8_stop

If I enter your code in the configuration.yaml I see the device

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      tela_8:
        device_class: shade
        friendly_name: "Tela 8"
        open_cover:
          action: script.tela8_up
        close_cover:
          action: script.tela8_down
        stop_cover:
          action: script.tela8_stop

Where did you put that config?

Did you reload (or restart if this is your first cover)?

Any related errors in Settings → System → Logs?

It’s working now.

It was on configuration.yaml and I restarted several times.

Then I reverted to an old backup (from yesterday) and it started working properly.

Thank you for your help
