Data_template position cover

Configuration

Maybe a picture would help? The garage shows closed but only the down arrow is active.

I basically need an if statement…if sensor is on set cover.garage_door to open, sensor is off garage door = closed. I just can’t figure how to format/write an if statement or where to put the if statement.

          {{ is_state('binary_sensor.fortrezz_mimolite_sensor_2', 'on') }}
        icon_template: >
          {% if is_state('binary_sensor.fortrezz_mimolite_sensor_2', 'on') %}
            mdi:garage-open
          {% else %}
            mdi:garage
          {% endif %}

Let me know if this works for you.
