Deprecating state constants for cover
· One min read
As of Home Assistant Core 2024.11, the constants used to return state in CoverEntity are deprecated and replaced by the CoverState enum.
There is a one-year deprecation period, and the constants will stop working from 2025.11 to ensure all custom integration authors have time to adjust.
As the state property is not meant to be overwritten, in most cases this change will only affect other Entity properties or tests rather than the state property.
More details can be found in the cover documentation.
