Cover toggle OpenGarage cover toggle fails

[danepowell]

The problem

Calling cover.toggle on my OpenGarage entity frequently results in a silent failure. The garage door does not respond to the toggle and there are no associated error logs. Running cover.close works just fine, and HA always has the correct state of the garage door (open or closed), so it's not confused about the door state.

This seems to be somewhat time dependent: if I haven't used HA to open the garage in a while, cover.toggle is likely to fail. But once it starts working, it works consistently for some period of time (hours) before it starts to fail again.

I've looked through the implementations of cover and opengarage, and there's one thing I find suspicious. The cover toggle code was #59233 to only toggle closed if the last toggle direction was open.

This matches my experience of having much more trouble toggling closed than toggling open (I can't recall if toggling open is a problem). But I can't deterministically trigger the bug based on this logic, i.e., by toggling the cover closed, then manually opening outside of HA, then trying to toggle closed again. I don't understand how integrations store state such as self._cover_is_last_toggle_direction_open over time, possibly there's some time-based aspect to how this is updated.

Additional information

The previous issue was marked as stale, but it's very much still an active bug: #91863

I'd appreciate if an integration maintainer (@Danielhiversen ?) could at least take a look this time. I've already gotten as far as I can trying to debug it.
