Yes, the mailbox and gate sensors spend 99.9% of their time asleep and thus off-line. I simply dont send LWT (last will and testament) mqtt messages so they never appear as offline.
As well as when they are tripped, they wake up every 12 hours to send battery levels. If I dont hear from them for 14 hours I get an alert.
Thanks for posting your awesome installation. I think the real benefit to Node RED is speed of implementing and testing new ideas. I’ve waited a long time for something as cool as Node RED. (the first program I ever wrote was in FORTRAN on punchcards).
Complete interface redesign: https://imgur.com/a/OAxIGFb
Works well from 1900x1200 to mobile displays.
The only issue I have is trying to style monster cards. Just can’t seem to get them to take a border with card-mod.
I’m getting this error in my logs for all the buttons I set up for my remotes. Everything still works but every time I press a button it triggers the following log entry. Any idea what is going on?
Not passing an entity ID to a service to target all entities is deprecated. Update your call to remote.send_command to be instead: entity_id: all
Your scripts to send the remote commands aren’t correctly specifying an entity id. Start a topic. Post a script config that you use to send a remote command.
posted here…thanks
Hi @tom_l
Awesome configuration by any chance do you have a github repo with the configuration?
I would be interested in following and look at some configurations.
Thanks in advance.
No I don’t sorry. Also nothing in that old configuration has remained in my current one. Some examples of how it looks now:
Your setup looks really nice, theme and graphs… also seems a really complete setup.
I have tons of questions 
Until now my focus was mostly having the devices on HA, I still have a bunch to install and configure, but I am also looking to beautify some stuff andyour setups seems really neat.
Congrats.
Unfortunately it is a precarious “house of cards” (pun intended) at the moment. I use the custom tiles-card extensively and support for this card has been abandoned. Coupled with recent changes to the way home assistant handles custom cards this means I will probably have to re-write the whole front-end, again.
How do you create that big time/date card?
Markdown card mostly. I’ll paste the config later today.
EDIT: here you go,

Bit of a style update using card mod for day / night card backgrounds.

Nice…
What is that day theme?
Oh… your own themes
Now I’m doubly impressed!
Building on the shoulders of giants…They started out as themes I found on the forum.
I really like your Tv Remote and Tv Channels cards. Can you share lovelace configuration please?
Thanks a lot

What theme are you using here? I was going to ask about the github repo with your configs as well but I see that was asked a while ago. I saw your screenshot of the Tempest weather setup and I really like that blue theme a lot!
Thanks!
