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:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
- platform: group
entities:
- cover.hall_window
- cover.living_room_window
```
{% configuration %}
name:
description: Name to use in the frontend.
required: false
type: string
default: "Cover Group"
entities:
description: List of all cover entities you want to control.
required: true
type: [string | list]
{% endconfiguration %}
## {% linkable_title 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.
