I want to implement a way to see the home current / past alarms, and am looking for some suggestions.
For example I have 5 water leak sensors. When one is triggered I get a notification on my phone with which and what time. Notofocations are taken care of already.
I want to be able to see on my dashboard that I had a water leak event, with some information -i.e. which sensor, what time, etc and ability to reset the status on dashboard.
Plus I want to be able to reset the alarm status on my dashboard.
I may have other alarming sensors (i.e. CO sensors, etc) where I want to display the same information and reset the displayed alarm status
Mind sharing how you implemented something like this?
Thanks for suggestion, that part I am aware of
I need a nice way to present this information and ‘reset’ the alarm on a dashboard.
I am leading towards keeping a formatted log in a text file and then tail | grep it for display within a markdown card. There is some 255 chr limitation to that, but I can manage.
If the alarm is triggered, I will go to my dashboard, see what has triggered & when and then decide to reset the boolean variable for the alarm.
I hope this describes my intended use-case fairly well.
Other suggestions are welcome
