Feature request: covers

[rexhoffman]

covers (aka garage door openers) - looks like the would have a LevelControlAspect aspect like lights?
locks - looks like they would just have an on/off aspect?

This project is super slick and could be a great way to integrate myq (MyQ HomeKit Bridge -> home assistant -> matter bridge -> google home), among others.

[h4nnes]

Yes, would we cool if we could expose Home Assistant Cover entities :-)

[t0bst4r]

I've added (basic) support for locks. Please test and provide feedback. (Release currently in progress => 1.3.0)

[rexhoffman]

locks work well - tested in HomeKit, couldn't test in google home due to matter bridge bug. Perhaps add battery support as well? lock.{name} I believe will be back by sensor.{name}_battery_percentage from the smart locks I've had on home assistant.

[rexhoffman]

Tested in google home after following the bug to attach matterbridge to google home. Luligu/matterbridge#61, found that it works well via the app (no security pin like google often demands), but google assistant will not open the lock, trying to dig in to why.

I have implemented basic support for covers. It will be released in about 5-10 minutes with version 2.3.0.

Unfortunately i cannot test it, since i dont have any covers and i cannot find a way to add a virtual cover to home assistant.
So please test and provide feedback ❤️

@t0bst4r Works well so far for me in Google Home. Tested open, close, stop, set percentage

[Aaroneisele55]

it also works fine for me in the Amazon system

[t0bst4r]

Don’t you have any of those bugs as mentioned in #234 or #235 ?
If you have one of those please add a comment there to keep track. If not - just let me know somehow (here or in the other two issues).

Hi @Aaroneisele55 Can you use the command open and close? I can only set the cover per percentage.

I can't use open/close, but I made a routine as workaround that maps open/close to the percentages...

It's seems to be inverted, at least for me. When I say "Alex open cover xxx" ---> the cover will be closed and vice versa

I mapped open to 0 percent and close to 100 in a routine so it isn't inverted for me....

Okay that’s what others are reporting as well in #234
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll fix it on the weekend.
