Hello All
Have been investigating the home automation space and came across the HA software.
Thanks to everyone who have done such a good job on the documentation and installation methods.
My primary interest is to use HA to save and manage power particularly from unused or standby loads.
Initially, these will be nothing more than relay switches.
So far I have just worked on understanding how to setup and run HA on my Raspberry Pi 3 using Raspbian Jessie. A samba share is up on my windows machine, Notepad++ for editing files and Putty for remote access to the HA file system. A bit of basic file management is also underway with a sensors and secrets directory,
The Raspberry Pi is running headless on WiFi and to my amazement, it is drawing a measured 2 watts of power. Never having run one of these little guys before, it was a great delight to realise monitoring was going to have such a small energy overhead.
My front end is running now, with some basic info like weather from Dark Sky, Network info from Speedtest and my 3 Chromecasts (Two Audio Chromecasts and a single Video Chromecast)
My first question is how do i get one of these clean white UI’s like this one from GreenTurtwig happening?
Currently, the UI is resisting even my mildest attempts to use a different icon rather than have red circles up the top.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
