I think this looks pretty cool so wanted to share it. Lets see what everyones looks like!
The pic looks at my directv / Apple TV / plex / sonos so it determines which one I’m watching or listening too and displays the picture and title. If I’m not watching anything it displays the HA logo. I can control everything from here now and I love it:)
I’ve found all those things by searching around this forum and looking at others code. Then deciphering it and tweaking it to meet my needs. But with that said, I will work on cleaning up my config files and creating a github to share.
Thank you. Ive been really busy with work lately so Im still working on cleaning up my config files. I should have some time Fri-Sun and Ill get it up there. Ill drop a link here once its done
Awesome… should be able to work it out. Got mine setup on a 7" RPi screen but the widgets are too small for the text to fit in nicely so need to start setting up a custom dash using css to get it all working nicely.
So here’s a little start at my simple custom dashboard whilst I’m still in the process of setting up all my automations. So handy now that I’m learning… can’t wait to see what else I can do with it.
Im setting this all up on a Raspberry Pi 3 7" screen and enclosure which I plan to mount up on my wall.
My dashboard is pretty simple - switches on the bottom, room temperature, humidity ant graphs, clock, weather and movement count (detection by IP cameras).
Data is stored to InfluxDB and graphs are then created with Grafana. They’re just a ‘camera’ widgets with refresh time of ~5mins. Everything else is just a CSS and Font modifications. If anyone is interested, I could provide theme file, but it is not fully customized, just widgets which I use.
I’ve got something setup on my HASSIO front end with my internal house temperature and external temperature overlaid so i can see how the house is being kept cool or warm vs outside world. Been meaning to look into influxDB and Grafana to set this up on my HADashboard. Great to see how youve done it.
Thanks for inspiration. I managed to save png files to a folder but I can’t figure out how to show it in hadashboard using camera as widget_type. Could you please clarify how it would be configuration in dash file?
Tryed many thing, still_image_url, entity_picture with no success.
Thanks!
I could be more helpful if you tell me more details where are you stuck. All I did just setup grafana, then add graph, when I was happy about my configuration, I clicked on graph, then selected “Share” and “Direct render image”. There you go, you have link to PNG image, just a few modifications to given link (I changed width & height params) and it is ready to add to HADashboard like this:
grafana_bathroom_temperature:
widget_type: camera
refresh: 300
entity_picture: “<your grafana link>”
