Publish Cover Current Operation #361

Closed gitlemat closed 4 years ago

gitlemat commented 5 years ago

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

Currently ESPHome publishes the position/state of the coers. It would be very interesting to have the current_operation also published.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

We can actually obtain this same behavior with a couple of config changes (adding the publishes), but it may create later issues if we have any braking change.

Additional context

Silly question may be, why we need this?

gitlemat commented 5 years ago

In home-assistant we have ways to show if the covers are moving or not, and for that we need to notify the current_operation.

TBH I have not checked if this is done with the native API since I'm only using MQTT for compatibility reasons.

glmnet commented 5 years ago

I'm using the covers with the api. I've created this issue in Home Assistant may be you can have some useful information from there: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/25738 I did not log what the ESPHome tells HA, but I did log what the HA tells to Home Kit, and I see it saying: "Openning"

Since 1.13 that is the case. See current_operation on the Cover object.
