Recently we have added an open and opening state to LockEntity
This is useful if you have locks which can differentiate between unlocked (not locked but latched) state and open (unlocked and latch withdrawn) state.
LockEntity already supports the open method by implementing the feature flag LockEntityFeature.OPEN
Example (default implementation):
class MyLock(LockEntity):
@property
def is_opening(self) -> bool:
"""Return true if lock is open."""
return self._state == STATE_OPENING
@property
def is_open(self) -> bool:
"""Return true if lock is open."""
return self._state == STATE_OPEN
async def async_open(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
"""Open the door latch."""
self._state = STATE_OPEN
self.async_write_ha_state()
