Shutters & Doorsensors

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,
I noticed that in many commercial systems, shutter or blinds are often connected to respective doors sensors. So when a shutter is (partly) closed and the door/window is opened, the state of said shutter will be saved and it will fully open. After the door is closed again, it will move back to its former state.
Is is extremely handy, so is there some purpose way of doing it?
Creating an automation for every door and window seems a bit clumsy.

You could work with similar object ids, replace and the snapshot service, for example:


trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.bedroom_window
      - binary_sensor.livingroom_door
    to:
    variables:
      cover: "{{ trigger.entity_id |replace('binary_sensor.', 'cover.') }}"

action:
  - if:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.state == 'on' }}"
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ state_attr(cover, 'current_position') |int(0) < 90 }}"
    then:
      - service: scene.create
        data:
          scene_id: snapshot_cover
          snapshot_entities: "{{ cover }}"
      - delay: 0.5
      - service: cover.set_cover_position
        data:
          position: 90
        target:
          entity_id: "{{ cover }}"
    else:
      - service: scene.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: scene.snapshot_cover

Thanks a lot! I will give it a try and Report back.

I just figured, I never reported back! So if someone else is havin the problem: Cheers to @pedolsky ! This is working pretty good, I just adjusted it slightly to make it behave better on daylight:

  - entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.wohnzimmer_l
      - binary_sensor.wohnzimmer_r

      - binary_sensor.gaestebad
    to: null
    variables:
      cover: "{{ trigger.entity_id |replace('binary_sensor.', 'cover.') }}"
      cover_short: "{{ trigger.entity_id |replace('binary_sensor.', '') }}"
    trigger: state

  - if:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ state_attr(cover, 'current_position') |int(0) < 95 }}"
    then:
      - if:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.state == 'on' }}"
        then:
