How can the actual dev branch of appdaemon be installed with pip3 ?

I’m looking for the new widgets for HADashboard. The simple installation of the widget definitions and the YAML-Files on top of the actual 2.1.12 Version did not work.

I have a question regarding the iconsensor-widget:

I can’t figure out how to display the state-text under the icon. Any Help ?

state-text: 1

i never used it but so is it in other widgets

I’m wondering if it is possible to use the input_select widget to control the options of a media_player source_list or a wall thermostate operation-mode-list.

I hate to define extra input_select-entitites for HADashboard and to control the media_player or climate-entitites.

Actually I have some zwave wall-thermostate that do not have a on-off-switch but are using a operation-mode-list.
The zwave-wall-thermostate appears in HA as a climate-entity.

Any chance that this can be implemented ?

thats the best way to go.
dashboard is a frontend for HA, not the place to add extra functions that are not in HA.
if you want to add functionalities then AD is the best place. :wink:

if you like something like the input_select for media player source list, its probably the best way to look at adding something like that to the mediaplayer widget.

i have no clue how the climate entity you are talking about is functioning.
it appears as a climate entity, but thats no help to me because i dont have climate entities :wink:
i also have no idea or every climate entity from HA appears on the same way.
it is possible to take a look at the existing climate widget, to see if functionalities can be added.

This is how the climate entity looks like:

The difference between a input_select-entity ist that input_select has an options-array and the climate-entity has an operation_list-array

My idea was to modifiy the base_select widget in order to read and change the operation_list-array instead of the options-array and of course change the service post_service from input_select/select_option to climate/set_operation_mode

that can be done.
you can easy create a custom component for that.

I now figured out how to get the operation_list-array into the widget. I made a new custom widget modifying the existing baseselect-widget.

Everything is displayed as expected in the dashboard, but now I’m stuck in calling the post_service in order to write the value back to the entity.

I changed the following function inside the new js-File:

function onChange(self, state)
    {
        setTimeout(function(){
        if (self.state != self.ViewModel.selectedoption())
        {
            self.state = self.ViewModel.selectedoption()
	    	args = self.parameters.post_service
            args["operatione_mode"] = self.state
	    	self.call_service(self, args)
        }
        },500)
    }

I changed the line args[“option”] = self.state to args[“operatione_mode”] = self.state but that didn’t help.

The way to change the climate-entyty with HA would be like this:
