Garage Door Template - Blocking Lovelace Icons

Configuration
,
1

Hello,

I am using the garage door templates to control my two garage doors on an Insteon I/O link.
I have condition statements for both open and closed to check the sensors (sensors are OFF in the closed position and ON in any other position.)

I am trying to get the UI to block control of opening the door when it is open, and closing the door when it is close.

I would also like it to only allow the stop command within 10 seconds of either the open or closed commands.

The “script.large_garage_door_trigger” triggers the I/O link relay for 1 second and then turns it off.


  - platform: template
    covers:
      large_garage_door:
        device_class: garage
        unique_id: 'large_garage_door'
        friendly_name: "Large Garage Door"
        value_template: "{{is_state('binary_sensor.io_linc_sensor_lgdo','on')}}"
        open_cover:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: binary_sensor.io_linc_sensor_lgdo
            state: "off"
          - service: script.large_garage_door_trigger
        close_cover:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: binary_sensor.io_linc_sensor_lgdo
            state: "on"
          - service: script.large_garage_door_trigger
        stop_cover:
          service: script.large_garage_door_trigger
        icon_template: >-
          {% if is_state('binary_sensor.io_linc_sensor_lgdo','on') %}
            mdi:garage-open-variant
          {% else %}
            mdi:garage-variant
          {% endif %}

Is this not working? Not sure if you’re just stating this or whether there’s a problem.

Add a template condition to the stop action and check the last_updated property of the cover entity itself. If that doesn’t work, make an input_datetime helper to save the last opened or closed trigger and then check that in the template condition.

It is not working, I was under the impression that the UI would automatically block based off of the position sensor, I am not sure If I have the sensor implemented correctly.

I don’t see anything wrong with your config.

My template covers correctly disables the right buttons depending on the state of the cover.

Does the value of binary_sensor.io_linc_sensor_lgdo change and persist when you open or close the garage door?

Are there any errors in your log?

I don’t think it will provide additional info that’s of value to debug this, but could you show the config for script.large_garage_door_trigger nonetheless?

binary_sensor.io_linc_sensor_lgdo Outputs Open or Closed in the corresponding states.

script.large_garage_door_trigger Is a simple script to trigger the relay for 1 second. I have a 14 second delay at the end to prevent it from being triggered multiple times by a bouncing finger.
