States of the gate icon

The card picks the state from your entity, so the icon always shows what the gate is doing.

  • ClosedResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Opening
  • Open

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • cover entities with device class gate are detected as this icon automatically.
  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "gate", on cover, switch, input_boolean, binary_sensor or sensor entities.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows opening, off shows closed. Entity states named like a state below (for example open) are used directly.
  • Works with any entity whose state you map: pick this icon in the card and map your entity's own state words to these states with the card's states: option.
