Entity Type for Opening and closing doors/gates devices

Configuration
1

Hey All,

Is there a specific entity type for automated doors or gates? I’m using a sonoff switch to fire my gates but when i expose it to other devices i.e. Alexa i have to say “alexa switch on the gates” which is annoying, i’d hope to say “Alexa open the gates” any ideas or do i just have to live with it?

The cover platform is the one that you use to work with things that can open or close where they may need to stop in the middle or something of that nature.
