Hey,

if I understand i need to add the broadlink key list for all open close and stop to Switch.yaml file

command_on:  'JgCIAg=='
command_off   'JgCIAg=='

and then under open_cover:/ close_cover / stop_cover i need to add the service?

cover:
  - platform: template
    covers:
      garage_door:
        friendly_name: "Garage Door"
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.garage_door')|float > 0 }}"
        open_cover:
          service: script.open_garage_door
        close_cover:
          service: script.close_garage_door
        stop_cover:
          service: script.stop_garage_door

Template Cove - my code https://codeshare.io/29PyW8 and here https://codeshare.io/5e09Zb now all work just dwon button not working, what i miss?

Change to position_template: “50” solve the issue.

if to anyone have this.

The down arrow isn’t available as HA likely thinks the cover is currently closed (so it wouldn’t make sense to close a cover that is closed) . With a hard coded “50” in the position template HA will think the cover is always halfway open.

It looks like you have a means to control the cover (open, close, stop). Do you have a sensor to provide the position of your cover?

No, i do not have any sensor , just rf up down and stop, now that works fine, I’m happy.

Hi, does the position 50 still work with icon state changes? Does it switch icons if opened or closed?
