[image] JOR1: Would it be a better fit to register the device in Homey as GarageDoor class Hi, the HA cover entity is generic. That means it can be used for all stuff that can be openes or closes. Dependent on the physical device, the entity has a “feature” attribute (binary value) that defin…

Hi. This is how my doors looks like in HA: [Garasjeport HA] These are the state and attributes in HA: [Garasjeport 1 state and attributes] This is how the tile looks like in Homey: [Garasjeport on-off]

The “supported_features=3” means: on+off function available The uo/stop/down ist the right element for covers, that only allow up/down action without possibility to set a % value. This can be used to open/close the cover. The tile itself acts like a “readonly” switch showing the cover state. The t…

Does this mean that the Homey tile will look the same regardless of registering the device as Homey deviceclass Window Coverings or GarageDoor?

Yes, it only depends on the HA domain “cover” and its features. The reason behind: You can change the device class in HA. But if the Homey device would be based on device class instead of generic features, you would miss HA features the Homey device/capability does not support. What are you missin…

You can consider adding a virtual device ‘in place’, which can show the door status, and optionally a on/off switch for close/open: [image] iSmartgate app [Peek 2023-06-29 02-45] [image] iSmartgate app Apps With this app you can create virtual devices an…

@JOR1 Just another question: Ist a switch shown when you click on this icon? [grafik] I ask because it should not be visible as switch (defined in the app as hidden). It should only show the device tile as on or off dependent on the state. And another one… Do you want to control the garage door …

Hi Peter, there is also the possibility to add a helper switch to HA and add it as capability to the garage device. Then use the trigger of this switch in a flow to change the cover state. @JOR1 Just as idea for now…

Yes, there is an on/off button there: [Garasjeport on-off 2] If I press the button, the door opens / closes and the tile gets grayed out: [Garasjeport event] By using the Up og Down arrows, the tile does not get grayd out. The log icon for the tile also shows opposite status of the door. It s…

Ah, I forgot. The switch is generated by the cover capability. So you can use the switch or the up/down buttons. The tile itself is a “hidden switch” to show the state in the device list. The switch is “on” if the cover is closed. Thet’s Homey standard. You can see it in your screenshot. I can’t c…
