Use another entity type to open / close / stop

[keteflips]

Helo.

Its posible to use another entity type to trigger the open/close/stop? I want to use a script to send an RF command.

Something like this:

cover:

• platform: cover_time_based
  devices:
  room_rolling_shutter:
  name: Room Rolling Shutter
  open_entity_id: script.wall_switch_right
  close_entity_id: script.wall_switch_left
  travelling_time_down: 23
  travelling_time_up: 25
  tilting_time_down: 2.3
  tilting_time_up: 2.7

Thanks.

Is the "script_entity" implemented in the original version of the plugin, or is it necessary to replace the cover.py file? I am using the "cover_rf_time_based" plugin and am looking for a maintained alternative.

@ShivaSVK it would be necessary to implement a general trigger for specific domains, and its currently not done and also was not in the original

You could just do this by adding a template helper of type switch, and calling the scripts when the switch is turned on/off

True, but in this case you would need to create three switches for each blind, right? One to open, one to close, and one to stop? Plus automations to link the switches and scripts. It sure would be a lot simpler to just use the existing script then create all of these new helpers.
