Here’s my current R2D2 dashboard for my Sphero unit. I’ve spent a lot of time learning and setting up a custom MQTT integration for him. The two animations in the top left were screen recordings I pulled from the old Star Wars Sphero app and only show when he is on (kinda neat I thought).
I chose MQTT so I could control it both inside and outside HA. I have several automations in HA and some outside using F# and a little program that simulates a translation from him when he makes a chirp or worble. I’ll try to clean that one up because it would be embarrassing to post that in its current state.
Let me know what you guys think or any ideas you might have to improve the dashboard and/or automation ideas!
