Open only Closed Covers vice a versa

Configuration

Hi all,

What I am looking for but couldn’t find is to open only closed covers or close only open covers. Right now, I am using open_cover services and use “entity: all” however this method triggers all covers whether they are open or not.

Can we say open only closed covers and do nothing for open ones?

action:
  - service: cover.open_cover
    target:
      entity_id: "{{ states.cover | selectattr('state','eq','closed') | map(attribute='entity_id') | list | join(', ') }}"

Thank you so much

This worked if I call from service tool on developer page however not working for button tap action.

Errorcode is

Got {‘type’: ‘call_service’, ‘domain’: ‘cover’, ‘service’: ‘close_cover’, ‘target’: {‘entity_id’: Template("{{ states.cover | selectattr(‘state’,‘eq’,‘open’) | map(attribute=‘entity_id’) | list | join(’, ') }}")}, ‘service_data’: {}, ‘id’: 1155}

You can’t use templates in nearly all core dashboard cards.

Unless you use something like this:

The other option is to put the action in a script and call the script as the tap action.

Thank you so much. One last question. How can i say “open covers which are not open”

I mean it can be open, closed, closing, unavailable… etc
