Good morning,
First of all, I am new to HA and probably don’t understand Cover well…
My issue:
I am using Shelly 1 to control garage door with connected magnetic door sensor - both works in HA. I can see senzor (changing state) and button in entities.
cover:
platform: template
and put this code to costumise.yaml:
My goal is to reach similiar dashboard changin icon of garage door(closed/open) based on door sensor. Like its on this pict:
Thjank you for any advice how to reach it.
I have the same setup with a Shelly 1 and a magnetic contact sensor (reed switch) for my garage door.
This should get you there:
cover:
- platform: template
covers:
garage_door:
device_class: garage
unique_id: "garage"
friendly_name: "Garage Door"
value_template: '{{ is_state("binary_sensor.garage_input", "off") }}'
open_cover:
- condition: state
entity_id: cover. garage_door
state: closed
- service: switch.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.garage
close_cover:
- condition: state
entity_id: cover. garage_door
state: open
- service: switch.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.garage
stop_cover:
service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.garage
You might want to add checking for closing and opening too:
- if:
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: cover.garage_door
state: closed
- condition: state
entity_id: cover.garage_door
state: closing
then:
- service: switch.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.garage

sorry for digging up old post, i’m doing the same thing however, my sensor is backwards. when the reed switch is together it reports open, when it seperates it reports closed, how do i flip it?
Hi, do you have one reed switch connected to the Shelly? And you can get both opening and closing states from the one reed switch?

Hi acme64, this is acme.
- platform: template
switches:
garage_door:
friendly_name: "Garage Door"
value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.shelly_garage_door_switch', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.shelly_garage_door
turn_off:
service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.shelly_garage_door
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.shelly_garage_door_switch', 'on') %}
mdi:garage-open
{% else %}
mdi:garage
{% endif %}
And I have a timer in shelly app to turn off the shelly switch after 1 sec whenever it is on.

can you provide the full code please? I can’t make it work no matter what… it’s inverted too, only say open when garage is fully open (in shelly, in HA don’t even work)

That is the full code I use. It is in my switch.yaml file.

I tried this but don’t work at all.
cover:
- platform: template
covers:
garage_gate:
device_class: garage
friendly_name: "Garage Gate"
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.garage_gate') }}"
open_cover:
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.garage_gate
state: "closed"
- service: switch.toggle
target:
entity_id: switch.garage_gate
close_cover:
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.garage_gate
state: "open"
- service: switch.toggle
target:
entity_id: switch.shelly1_e8db84d730af
stop_cover:
service: switch.toggle
target:
entity_id: switch.shelly1_e8db84d730af
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state('cover.garage_gate', 'opening') or is_state('cover.garage_gate', 'closing') %}
mdi:garage-alert-variant
{% elif is_state('cover.garage_gate', 'open') %}
mdi:garage-open-variant
{% else %}
mdi:garage-variant
{% endif %}
tempate:
- sensor:
- name: "Garage Gate"
state: >
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.garage_sensor', 'on') and is_state('switch.shelly1_e8db84d730af', 'on') %}
opening
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.garage_sensor', 'off') and is_state('switch.shelly1_e8db84d730af', 'on') %}
closing
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.garage_sensor', 'off') %}
open
{% else %}
closed
{% endif %}
in your code is missing something before platform? -switch or what?

Try it as switch instead of cover. I can’t check your code with detail atm.

I tried, no luck. In Shelly what type of button you have selected? both toggle or detached switch don’t work

yup, like that and your code, don’t work
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
garage_door:
friendly_name: "Garage Door"
value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.shelly1_e8db84d730af_switch', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.shelly1_e8db84d730af
turn_off:
service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.shelly1_e8db84d730af
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.shelly1_e8db84d730af_switch', 'on') %}
mdi:garage-open-variant
{% else %}
mdi:garage-variant
{% endif %}
is this binary_sensor.shelly1_e8db84d730af_switch made up? because don’t exist,
the ones coming from shelly always unavailable are binary_sensor.shelly1_e8db84d730af_input and binary_sensor.shelly1_e8db84d730af_external_input…
In my Shelly1, there’s an option to reverse the polarity on the input to the Shelly1 (you may need to update firmware to get this option):
Note that if you are getting “unavailable” for your shelly1_xxxxx_input binary_sensor, then most likely the shelly1 is not properly connected to your network? I have seen this when my wifi signal was weak.

I found that the external input was disabled in HA. After I enable that and put Shelly to detached switch, all worked fine
Yep this fixed it for me as well. Here is an image of where to enable it (on mine at least)
