Panel Cover

About

The cover panel controls a single cover entity (blinds, garage door, curtains, etc.). Open, stop, and close buttons are shown based on the features supported by the entity. A vertical position slider is displayed when the entity supports positioning.

The popup variant (popup_cover) mirrors the main panel layout. It is used automatically when a cover entity is assigned as an item on another panel.

Controls

Widget Description
Up button Opens the cover. Visible when the entity supports open. Disabled when position = 100%.

Down button Closes the cover. Visible when the entity supports close. Disabled when position = 0%.
Position slider Vertical slider (0–100%) for precise positioning. Visible when the entity supports set_position. Shows current position percentage above the slider.

How to configure

In the panel editor, set:

  • Item (entity picker) — A cover entity to control. Required.

Display Behavior

  • Button visibility and enabled state are determined by the entity's supported features.
  • When a cover is moving (state = opening or closing), the stop button is enabled.
  • The position label shows {position}% (e.g., 42%).
  • Slider interaction sends the cover position command with the selected value.
