Can anyone help me improve my wind speed display? I’ve collected data on current wind direction speed and gusts and computed the wind on the Beaufort scale. I currently display them all as numbers but want to show it on the bft scale like this:
(or using some arrows maybe)
I have template sensors that say “WSW15” (ie a 15kt wind from the WSW) is a 4Bft wind and the 24kt gusts (“G24”) is 6bft.
I had imagined this would be easy with a picture elements card like this:
but nothing I have tried in the left: section works as a variable position. I’ve tried making the template return a string like 40% and that doesn’t work either.
Would anyone spare a moment to point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I looked at yours and it is very beautiful!
I’m trying yo do something different which is to display current conditions more prettily. If I can crack the variable positioning I’ll do something similar with sea states.
Thanks for this. I think I’ve installed Config Template Card but after hours of trying to use it I clearly need more help, if anyone is willing. This is my lovelace card so far:
I found a different way of doing this using custom:card-templater, in case anyone wants to try something similar. This is still work-in-progress but it’s a start:
