Garage Sensor

Configuration
1

So I recently go my garage hooked up.

  • I was wondering why the garage icons doesn’t undertatnd the state when I reboot HA. So if I have the garage open and reboot both the up and down arrows are black. Only when I first open with HA does it move to a greyed out state.

Also I’m having issues with using it as a sensor to describe the state underneath. It just says closed all of the time. When I open it never changes to open. I have attached everything involved if someone can help? Thanks!!

Could you format your code using the </> button in the editor please? It makes it easier to see whether there are obvious syntax/indentation issues

Sure thing. Just edited up there. Hope I did it right. Kinda confusing how it works.

Try setting retain to true. Also payload_close looks like it should be “OFF”.

Also, I haven’t updated Tasmota in a while but my state topics are “stat/XXX/POWER”, not “cmnd/XXX/POWER”. Optimistic is also misspelled.:grinning:
