[de] questions how many windows / doors are open or closed does not work properly

[ChristophCaina]

The question "how many windows | doora are open" / "how many windows | doors are closed" does always return 0... (german and english)...

After checking the english language repository, there are a few more files - especially "binary_sensor

So, do we need to replicate and translate these files?

[TheFes]

I don't think the which, all, any and how many intents are already translated for German.
But even if they were, there is a conflict with the domain cover for device_class window and door.
Both cover and binary_sensor are using these device classes, and the you are getting the result 0 now becuase you don't have any cover entities with device_class window. These questions are now already matched to that domain.

There is currently no option to match with two domains, especially because the states also differ. A cover entity can be open or closed, where a binary_sensor will be on or off.

For more info, also see #1200

hm... ok, that's sad.
yes... the only "cover" I do have is using the device_class "shutter"...
While I can see the "cover" in the case of doors, for example garage door covers, I don't really see it for the device class window...

So right now, there's still a LOT that needs to be considered for assist to be at least somehow usable... :)
All right.

You can motorize a window so you can open and close it remotely. I would put that in the cover domain (as there is no separate window domain)

[TheFes]

But as you can see in the linked discussion, I proposed on short term to remove these sentences for door and window from the cover domain, and place them in the binary_sensor domain, as I expect they are more frequently used (until there is a long term solution)

[OzGav]

I see a similar problem in English. Exactly the same behaviour if I use windows. This is when there are actually one door and two windows open

How can I assist?
are all the doors open
Yes
are all the doors closed
Yes
How many doors are open
0
How many doors are closed
0

[TheFes]

That's because these intents check for cover entities with device class door, not for binary sensors. It's currently not possible to check for both at the same time, and cover support was added before binary_sensor support

OK understood. I will wait! Thanks for the speedy reply!
