MySensors Cover	Instructions on how to integrate MySensors covers into Home Assistant.	DIY Cover	0.30	Local Push	mysensors

Integrates MySensors covers into Home Assistant. See the main integration for configuration instructions.

The following actuator types are supported:

MySensors version 1.4

S_TYPE	V_TYPE
S_COVER	V_UP, V_DOWN, V_STOP, [V_DIMMER or V_LIGHT]

MySensors version 1.5 and higher

S_TYPE	V_TYPE
S_COVER	V_UP, V_DOWN, V_STOP, [V_PERCENTAGE or V_STATUS]

All V_TYPES above are required. Use V_PERCENTAGE (or V_DIMMER) if you know the exact position of the cover in percent, use V_STATUS (or V_LIGHT) if you don't.

For more information, visit the serial API of MySensors.
