Garage door/Cover status?

Configuration
1

Just added garage door to my HA and would like to have a visual status of the door’s state (i.e. open/closed) and do not see how it is done. I do know you can see the status just by the up arrow/down arrow color, but would like to have a status readout “open/closed” if possible. I was able to add the cover.garage_door_opener to my states page, but that is the extent of it. Fairly new to this, not sure if it is possible or not, but if so any help appreciated.

component platform is myQ; type is liftmaster.

The only entity I see in ‘developer tools’ > ‘states’ is cover.garage_door_opener. thought there would be a sensor tied to it but none is showing.

I made a sensor for mine:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      garage_door_status:
        friendly_name: 'State of Garage door'
        value_template: '{{ states.cover.garage_door_opener.state }}'

That did the trick.

Thanks
