Template Cover

I went ahead and implemented the timed-cover concept.

grab the file from here and place it in .homeassistant/custom_components/cover/
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhracturedBlue/home-assistant/timed_cover/homeassistant/components/cover/template.py

You must have a open_cover, close_cover, stop_cover commands and NOT have set_cover_position.

Here is an example:

cover:
  platform: template
  covers:
    test:
      position_template: '{{ states.cover.test.attributes.current_position | int }}'
      open_cover:
        service: 'cover.open_cover'
        entity_id: 'cover.test_state'
      close_cover:
        service: 'cover.close_cover'
        entity_id: 'cover.test_state'
      stop_cover:
        service: 'cover.stop_cover'
        entity_id: 'cover.test_state'
      opening_time: 10
      closing_time: 10

Note that I have another commit in flight, so I won’t submit a pull request for this until (a) someone tries it and finds it useful and (b) my other pull-request is accepted.
