Good morning (o;
I see that my esphome node operating a cover publishes its state like IDLE, OPENING, CLOSING as current_operation.
Is that state in any way usable in automations?
That would make it easier for using just one button press to open/close and stop a cover…

Is that available as the state or an attribute of your cover?
Find your cover in Developer Tools / States and check.

Of course states are accessible in automations.

Assuming it is a state and not an event. Which it very likely is.
