Hi everybody,
I finally got to motorize our roller shutters. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to get them into Home Assistant, so I am using ioBroker
via mqtt
as a bridge (which works fine).
However, I was wondering, whether it was possible to assign a unique_id
to a cover group. It doesn’t seem like in the docs, but perhaps there is another way?
Currently, I got this
cover:
- platform: group
name: Wohnzimmer
entities:
- cover.rollladen_wz_mitte
- cover.rollladen_wz_strasse
- cover.rollladen_wz_vorne
It works. However, I cannot change the icon via webUI, as it doesn’t have a unique id. I added this to my customize.yaml
, but it’d be nice to do this directly when setting up the group, or in the webUI
cover.wohnzimmer:
friendly_name: Wohnzimmer
icon: "mdi:blinds"
Am I missing something, or is this not supposed to be done in a single yaml file?
Thank you in advance for your ideas
