Show addon running state on addon overview page

Feature Requests
1

The addon page in the settings shows all addons, but in order to see which are running and which are not, I have to step into each and every one (currently 17 for me).

For some it is not always immediately obvious that an addon is not running, while some addons, such as the backup addon, are vital. The watchdog is of great help, but does not always cover all situations.

It would be great if the stoplight icon from the addon page would also be visible in the addon main page, so can see in a blink of an eye if all is right.

If they are grey (the icons) they are not running.

Ah, ok. Missed that (subtle) detail. Hope all addons remember to have a colored icon then. :slight_smile: ESP home will be slightly harder to tell, but I can see it. Thanks for the tip.

As Neil ponted out, the status is reflected by a gray icon.
However, a red or green dot would be a waaay better user expierence.

So, +1

Persons with Colorblindness will have issues with red/green or blue/yellow combos.

You have to combine it with some other visual queue or all they see is a dot. (one of my best friends is colorblind and man will he bend my ear on this one…)

Or use a template, or auto-entities, or both, so the header of the auto-entities showing how many is i.e. running/not running … you can also combine … fold-entity-row with auto-entities with a template showing how many is running/not_running … and you can also use “groups”
I most likely missed a few options, as they are pretty near endless :slight_smile:

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  square: false
  columns: 4
  type: grid
card_param: cards
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: "binary_sensor*running"
      options:
        type: custom:button-card
        show_state: true
sort:
  method: state
  reverse: false

Mushroom and card_mod do the “fine-tuning” :wink:

How ever i did +1 , thou i already know if and which is not_running, when i open my HA in the browser

I don’t seem to have binary sensors indicating what addons are running. Is there an option somewhere I need to set?

you have to click “show hidden” or “clear” then in “search” type “running” then mark all, and click " enable"

Ah. I indeed found them in the supervisor integration. Thanks!
