How to link multiple covers? Need help

Hello! I tried to make own automation, based on aderusha’s link_multiple_switches.

The code:

blueprint:
  name: Link Multiple Covers
  description: 'Link multiple covers together v1.0.0 based on aderusha's link_multiple_switches'
  domain: automation
  homeassistant:
    min_version: 2022.5.0
  input:
    covers:
      name: Covers Entites
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: cover
          multiple: true
  source_url: https://github.com/nikerossxp
variables:
  covers: !input covers
trigger:
- platform: state
  entity_id: !input covers
mode: queued
max_exceeded: silent
condition:
- condition: template
  value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state != trigger.from_state.state }}'
- condition: template
  value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.context.parent_id is none or  (trigger.to_state.context.id != this.context.id and  trigger.to_state.context.parent_id  != this.context.id) }}'
action:
- service: cover.{{ trigger.to_state.state }}_cover
  target:
    entity_id: '{{ expand(covers) | selectattr("entity_id", "!=", trigger.entity_id)
      | map(attribute="entity_id") | list }}'

Is working for open, but for close - not, cause sends invalid command cover.closeD_cover, based on trigger.to_state.state CLOSED, not CLOSE. How to fix it?

Hi, welcome to the forum!

You can create a group with these covers as members.
Go to ‘Settings’ → ‘Devices & Services’ → ‘Helpers’ tab → ‘CREATE HELPER’ button → select ‘Group’ → ‘Cover group’ and add your covers.
Afterwards you can use this group.
