Getting creative with Lovelace heading cards

A little thing I cooked up using the new heading card

This is the outcome

  • All entities are clickable (to more-info)
  • State coloring (and icons) for temp and humidity is KLUDGED (see the horrific way that has to be done as demonstrated in the release party)
  • next steps…
    – Group by floors
    – Add aggregated (templated ) readings for the floors
    – Sort rooms by walkthrough order
    – Implement sorting (with chips)

Protecting the names of the innocents :slight_smile: (except my old lady)

File: custom_templates/cards/ae_climate_room_list.jinja
This is the jinga custom template that fetches and ‘massages’ the data

This macro in turn uses other macros to filter down the areas to a list of ‘real rooms’, excluding ‘rooms’ like ‘person’, ‘system’ (we all have those right?)

{%- macro ae_title_room_climate() -%}
    {%- from 'rooms.jinja' import get_real_rooms -%}
    {%- set rooms = get_real_rooms().split(',')|list -%}
    {%- set ns = namespace(cards=[]) -%}
    {% for room_id in rooms -%}
        {%- set entity_temperature_throttled = 'sensor.climate_{}_temperature_throttled'.format(room_id) -%}
        {% if not has_value(entity_temperature_throttled) -%}
            {% continue -%}
        {% endif -%}
        {%- set ns.cards = ns.cards + [
            dict(
                type = 'custom:decluttering-card',
                template = 'title_room_climate',
                variables = [ dict( area_id = room_id), dict(area_name = area_name(room_id) ) ],
            )
        ] -%}
    {%- endfor %}
    {{- ns.cards|list|to_json() -}}
{%- endmacro -%}

This is what the jinja ouitputs

[
  {
    "type": "custom:decluttering-card",
    "template": "title_room_climate",
    "variables": [
      {
        "area_id": "kitchen"
      },
      {
        "area_name": "Kitchen"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "type": "custom:decluttering-card",
    "template": "title_room_climate",
    "variables": [
      {
        "area_id": "landing"
      },
      {
        "area_name": "Hallway Landing"
      }
    ]
  },
