Cover Component
===============
The ``cover`` component is a generic representation of covers in esphomelib/yaml.
A cover can (currently) either be *closed* or *open* and supports three types of
commands: *open*, *close* and *stop*.
.. _cover-open_action:
``cover.open`` Action
---------------------
This action opens the cover with the given ID when executed.
.. code:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- cover.open:
id: cover_1
.. _cover-close_action:
``cover.close`` Action
----------------------
This action closes the cover with the given ID when executed.
.. code:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- cover.close:
id: cover_1
.. _cover-stop_action:
``cover.stop`` Action
---------------------
This action stops the cover with the given ID when executed.
.. code:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- cover.stop:
id: cover_1
lambda calls
------------
From :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`, you can call several methods on all covers to do some
advanced stuff (see the full :doc:`API Reference </api/cover/index>` for more info).
- ``publish_state()``: Manually cause the cover to publish a new state and store it internally.
If it's different from the last internal state, it's additionally published to the frontend.
.. code:: yaml
// Within lambda, make the cover report a specific state
id(my_cover).publish_state(cover::COVER_OPEN);
id(my_cover).publish_state(cover::COVER_CLOSED);
- ``state``: Retrieve the current state of the cover.
.. code:: yaml
if (id(my_cover).state == cover::COVER_OPEN) {
// Cover is open
} else if (id(my_cover).state == cover::COVER_CLOSED) {
// Cover is closed
} else {
// The cover hasn't reported any state yet.
}
- ``open()``: Manually cause the cover to open from code. Similar to the ``cover.open``
action, but can be used in complex lambda expressions.
.. code:: yaml
id(my_cover).open();
- ``close()``: Manually cause the cover to close from code. Similar to the ``cover.close``
action, but can be used in complex lambda expressions.
.. code:: yaml
id(my_cover).close();
- ``stop()``: Manually cause the cover to stop from code. Similar to the ``cover.stop``
action, but can be used in complex lambda expressions.
.. code:: yaml
id(my_cover).stop();
