So I have a ring sensor on my garage door which tells me if the door is open or closed. I'm currently hooking up a ESP01s with relay to open/close the door. Instead of having two different devices show up in HA, can I "combine" them so there is one device which has an open/close state, and a switch?
#Is it possible to "combine" devices?

Hello @nimble pendant,
You have to match the device information for them to combine. Using ESPHome, not sure how. I have done it with MQTT integrations though.

in this case you could maybe template it as a cover. the seperate devices would still exist but you could have a helper that has the status and the functions - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cover.template/

I'm following the template instructions, but I'm not sure where I actually put the template configuration
Is it a dashboard thing?
