Hi there,
Since some days I have an idea for a new card on my Dashboard. Although I don’t actually think it would be too hard to realize it, I have no idea on how to do it. So I’m looking for some inspiration - maybe some of you have done something similiar and are willing to share how you did it
The idea:
I’d like to have a card which is similiar to the Logbook, but instead of showing the history it should show upcoming events, mainly based on automations using time triggers (which I have a lot). I have tons of automations that control specific devices (mainly lights) at specific times and would like to have an organized overview on what will be going on.
That’s what I could imagine to be the card content:
- Desklamp will turn off in 12 minutes
- Sun will set in 23 minutes
- Garden lights will dim in 1h
- Test notification will be sent in 1h
- Motion detection will turn on in 2h
- …
Ideally it would also be capable of “skipping” the upcoming event (e.g. by temporarily disabling the automation). So if for some reaseon I don’t want the lights to turn off automatically today I could simply skip it.
Is that something someone has already done in a similiar way? Any ideas? I think the probably easiest way would be to filter all automations with time triggers and list their names (alias). That way the sequence of the automations would not have to be analyzed. However I have absolutely no idea how I could extract those automations…
