The group
platform can create a cover that combines several cover entities into one.
To enable Cover Groups
in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
- platform: group
entities:
- cover.hall_window
- cover.living_room_window
{% configuration %} entities: description: List of all cover entities you want to control. required: true type: [string, list] name: description: Name to use in the frontend. required: false type: string default: "Cover Group" unique_id: description: An ID that uniquely identifies this cover group. If two covers have the same unique ID, Home Assistant will raise an error. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
Functionality
It works best if you group covers with the same supported features together (like support for open
/close
/stop
/position
/tilt controls
), but is not limited to it. In case you have bundled covers with different features together, the controls will only affect those covers that support the actions.
