Equinox, a custom climate card

Hi

I introduce you Equinox, a new thermostat custom card for climate entities.
It works with standard climate entities but has also special features dedicated to Versatile Thermostat.

Add this repository to HACS.

Project: GitHub - KipK/equinox: HA climate card for Versatile Thermostat · GitHub

It has 2 themes, Flat and Glow.
It also has a dedicated history viewer using my ha-better-history component.
Another card dedicated to display graph and history browser using the same component is available here: GitHub - KipK/a-better-history-card: Lovelace Cards for Home Assistant to display history charts · GitHub

If using SmartPI algorithm plugin for Versatile Thermostat, it displays a dedicated Regulation dashboard with smartPI metrics

Custom dashboard can be made as Regulation section is dynamically generated from json template files. More info here.

It looks great on first look!
One question appears immediately: can i hide functions i don't need? I'd like only power, cool and heat buttons, others like auto, dry... i'd like to hide. Is that possible yet?
Also..i guess that 'additional boards' is still under development?

It dynamically displays hvac_modes, presets, ventilation according to the climate capacity.

You need to hide features your HVAC has?
I can add that on next revision yes.

The additional regulation panel is still not done yet.
It will be available in the incoming weeks.

Yeah, it would be great. See... although climate CAN do it i don't use anything but heat and cool, so other icons are then just ballast on the card. Thanks in advance!

Ok I've added that to my todolist

Nice card, it's possible to add a custom background color, or trasparente mode?
Thanks

@marco It uses the configured HA theme background and colors to stay unified with the other cards.

If it has transparent cards background it will use it then.

There's no setting to force the background yet, I can add one if needed.

Can be done with cardmod for now.

@Protoncek it's on latest release

Nice Card! Are you open add some things other cards done have (I've tried I think every card that exists)? It think it would be pretty cool to have these features...

  1. Average Temperature, by Floor
  • Say you have temp sensors in most or all rooms (like I do). If the card could add multiple temperature entities and label them with a 'floor name'... the card could average all sensors on each floor and display that on the card
  1. Display Outdoor Temperature and Humidity

  2. Display a few other related sensors, per user choosing. For example, I'd display Airflow since my system has 56 speeds. It sometimes interesting to see what speed it is running at.

@Ltek You can average your sensors with a template.
I try to make this card uncluttered, adding too much data deserve the purpose.
But I will think on a way to add custom sensors.

Latest version add the Regulation dashboard.
This is mostly for Versatile Thermostat regulation plugins.
I've made the dashboard for the new SmartPI algorithm.
Will add others algorithms on a second steps.
Users can make their own dashboard by putting a custom.js in www/equinox/dash folder , following the documentation here
