Home Assistant can give you an interface to control covers such as rollershutters, blinds, and garage doors.

Device Class

The way these sensors are displayed in the frontend can be modified in the customize section. The following device classes are supported for covers:

• None: Generic cover. This is the default and doesn't need to be set.
• awning: Control of an awning, such as an exterior retractable window, door, or patio cover.
• blind: Control of blinds, which are linked slats that expand or collapse to cover an opening or may be tilted to partially covering an opening, such as window blinds.
• curtain: Control of curtains or drapes, which is often fabric hung above a window or door that can be drawn open.
• damper: Control of a mechanical damper that reduces airflow, sound, or light.
• door: Control of a door or gate that provides access to an area.
• garage: Control of a garage door that provides access to a garage.
• gate: Control of a gate. Gates are found outside of a structure and are typically part of a fence.
• shade: Control of shades, which are a continuous plane of material or connected cells that expanded or collapsed over an opening, such as window shades.
• shutter: Control of shutters, which are linked slats that swing out/in to covering an opening or may be tilted to partially cover an opening, such as indoor or exterior window shutters.
• window: Control of a physical window that opens and closes or may tilt.

Here are a few examples of this representation in the UI:

Example of various device classes icons in `open` and `closed` state. The open image in this example has `state_color: true` specified in the Entities card configuration to receive the icon coloring.
