Did you mean cover? serre doesn't seem to exist.
Also I only made the .state member of the Cover class public in the latest dev build. Maybe add a link to https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/guides/faq.html#how-do-i-use-the-latest-bleeding-edge-version until I release 1.6.3 or 1.7.0 (I'll see when I can release that).

Good catch, I missed that one in converting this to a generic cookbook. I'll test the cookbook before the next update as well.
We can wait with merging this until the next release :)

Maybe add a comment here that this branch is triggered when we don't know the state yet - otherwise might be a bit confusing.

Hmmm, I probably should also add an option to make esphomelib not send anything. Currently this will cause esphomelib to not send discovery messages, but still send state messages.

Agree, was going to raise a feature request for it. But as temporary workaround this was working enough for now :)
| Dual relay cover motor control | ||
| ============================== | ||
|
|
||
| The following is a possible configuration file for common covers that use a motor with 2 inputs. Only one should be powered at a time (interlocking) to either move the cover up or down. For this the [Sonoff Dual R2](https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-dual.html) can be used which has two independent relays. Additionally this configuration allows the single button on the Sonoff to control the motion by cycling between: open->stop->down->stop->... |

Markdown links do not work in RST ([Sonoff Dual R2](https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-dual.html)), write
`Sonoff Dual R2 <https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-dual.html>`__ instead. See https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/guides/contributing.html#contributing-to-esphomedocs

Thanks for the quick feedback. I pushed a (tested) update. Btw, thanks for the great effort put into esphomelib and esphomeyaml. I was really looking for this kind of high level configuration for my devices. Probably gonna replace a lot of Tasmota flashed devices with this. |

With some more testing I might optimise this by moving the relay logic (interlocking/delayed off) into the switches instead of in the cover component.
