Window
The Window integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] provides dedicated triggers and conditions for windows in Home Assistant. It works with binary sensors and covers that use the window device class, so you can react when a window opens or closes, or check whether one is open before running an automation.
Building block integration
This window is a building block integration that cannot be added to your Home Assistant directly but is used and provided by other integrations.
A building block integration differs from the typical integration that connects to a device or service. Instead, other integrations that do integrate a device or service into Home Assistant use this window building block to provide entities, services, and other functionality that you can use in your automations or dashboards.
If one of your integrations features this building block, this page documents the functionality the window building block offers.

Window automation examples
You can use these triggers and conditions to protect your home, avoid wasting energy, and get timely reminders.
You don’t need to edit YAML to use these examples. Copy a YAML snippet from this page, open the automation editor in Home Assistant, and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). Home Assistant automatically converts the pasted YAML into the visual editor format, whether it’s a full automation, a single trigger, a condition, or an action.
