@@ -109,10 +109,10 @@ Template Cover may get an `unknown` state during startup. This results in error
 messages in your log file until that platform has completed loading.
 If you use `is_state()` function in your template, you can avoid this situation.
 For example, you would replace
-{% raw %}`{{ is_state('switch.source', 'on') }}`{% endraw %}
+{% raw %}`{{ states.cover.source.state == 'open' }}`{% endraw %}
 with this equivalent that returns `true`/`false` and never gives an unknown
 result:
-{% raw %}`{{ is_state('switch.source', 'on') }}`{% endraw %}
+{% raw %}`{{ is_state('cover.source', 'open') }}`{% endraw %}
