One arrow for all Blinds?

I have 3 blinds with their own Up/Down arrow in a “Blinds” group component. They are individually controlled through a Broadlink RM Pro and they work fine. Can anybody help me find a way to include some sort of “All Up, All Down” next to the component title, like a group switch? Ideally, icons should also be Up and Down arrows. Thanks!

If you click on “Blinds” (the group title), don’t you have a command for all blinds? (Assuming you only have blind in the group)

If you don’t have a group switch for your covers, you can easily create a cover group:

When you create a cover group (or light group, etc.), can you still list and control the individual entities on the UI?

@uspino you might be able to add something like control: visible to your group config to force the control to show. The docs mention that you can specify control: hidden, but don’t provide details as to whether or not the opposite of this exists.

The opposite is

control:

(with nothing after it)

But that should be the default unless it’s overridden elsewhere.

@touliloup When I click in Blinds it opens a new window with info on how long ago where they open, and the same individual controls for each blind.

@treno Creating a Cover Group works, but it creates another component card, so I’d had one for individual switches, one for all switches. I think I can combine both in one, but “Up/Down All” would still appear in the list of blinds, not int in the component title. It wouldn’t be as intuitive/cosmetic as in the rest of components.

@Dolores @anon43302295 control: is not overridden anywhere so it should be visible.

Anybody knows anything about a “master switch” variable? Maybe the “all on/all off” only works with switches by design, not covers. And that would be unfortunate because closing all blinds or opening all blinds is very commonly used in home automation…

Hi, Im having the same issue. Did anyone come up with a fix?

Hello,
Has anyone found a way to do this?

I have this issue as well. As recommended, I created a cover group which contains two individual covers. And then added the cover group entity inside the cover card:

This works, but the master control appearing in the list is not as intuitive as when it appears in the header - like when you do it with switches:

Anyone know a way to achieve this with covers?

Anybody? This seems like something which should be fundamental for a basic dashboard…

So if anyone ever gets to this (old) post as I did.
My config looks like this:

So far I am happy with this only that the Icon does not get the status of 100%
But the status in total does work.
If 4 of 5 are closed my total has a status of 20% open.

I have the same problem. This should work just as it works for normal on/off like switches like lights as it was stated above.
