I have a garage door opener that is running in domoticz (for historic reasons). And, I’ve got node red running in home assistant.
I can send a MQTT message from node-red to domoticz to open the garage door, when a button is pushed.
But I was wondering if there is some way to give some visual feedback, change the state/icon of the button? Maybe use a (virtual) swicht instead?

That completely depends on wether or not Domoticz reports the state of the door by mqtt…

Ah yeah, should have mentioned that in the orginal post I guess.
So yeah the door opener does report it’s state via Domiticz into MQTT into homeassistant & node-red. As a matter of fact I already have a text that displays open or closed.

Plenty working material regarding that topic:
Hi I have successfully setup my garage door opener using card code provided in another thread - including status icon. But I cannot find what I am doing wrong below - when I click on the icon - the garage is opening. But when I click again - it is not closing the door…what am I missing here?

state:
- color: 'rgb(255,0,0)'
icon: 'hass:garage-open'
value: 'on'
- color: 'rgb(68,115,159)'
type: '…
I have a door sensor and it shows as a door icon that opens and closes. But if I want to change it to a sliding door, it no longer opens and closes. Even though there is an open and closed version of that icon. How can I change it?
