@mxr toggle allows turning something on/off. How would you like it to work with covers?
If you want to control multiple covers using the same buttons you can always create a cover group.

@Misiu HA already supports open_cover, close_cover, and toggle actions to fully open or close covers. So I would expect the visual switch to work the "same way" and fully open or close covers in the card

I think the togglable domains are defined here:

export const DOMAINS_TOGGLE = new Set([
  "fan",
  "input_boolean",
  "light",
  "switch",
  "group",
  "automation",
  "humidifier",
  "valve",
]);

I don't remember that the header toggle worked for covers before, so this is a feature request, not a bug.

Thank you. Adding cover to that list made the toggle appear but the behavior is a little wonky.

I can fully open and fully close the cover with the toggle. However if I use the arrows to change the state, the toggle doesn't change.

Compare this to lights, where moving the brightness slider switches the toggle between "on" and "off".

For my purposes I am fine with this behavior. Is it acceptable?

[Misiu]

I'm not the one making the decisions here :)
In my opinion, the behavior would be a bit misleading and many users will create new issue reports here because of that change.
I use cover groups to control multiple covers in specific for at once, you can even add all covers to a group and control them globally.
this way you could add that group on top, then a separator, and below the standard covers.
Just a suggestion.

That's fair

I use cover groups to control multiple covers in specific for at once, you can even add all covers to a group and control them globally.

Thanks, although I am aware of that, I was looking to use the toggle since it's small and built-in to the card (doesn't require using a custom card)
