I’m working right now on using an ESP8266 feather with an 8x4 matrix to control Home Assistant entities. The top and bottom rows are taken up for controlling stuff. I’ve tried lots and lots of ways to represent “outside lights”, but none of them feel right. How could I communicate “outside lights” in this 6x4 matrix? (It’s vertical BTW, so I guess it’s really 4x6.)
Can you show us this device?
What are your icon options? mdi?
I’m using a Neotrellis M4. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4020
I wrote a custom program so an ESP and it can talk to eachother.
Very cute. Where does the icon appear?
The thing that’s dark orange and yellow is the icon right now.
I tried implementing outdoor-lamp, but it’s a bit squashed, and still doesn’t really make me think of “outdoor”.
I see what you are doing now. 6x4 is limited, even with colour.
After making a couple of tweaks, I’ve settled on this. Not exactly guest-friendly (you have to remember it), but guests won’t be coming in by the time I’ve finished this project. Thanks for reminding me about the outside-light icon, @nickrout.
