This is a fairly speculative request for ‘guidance’. Hopefully someone has done this and got it to work.
(I can think of at least a couple of people here who probably have
)
I have a working config that has a row of menu buttons across the top of a dashboard view with each one that displaying a different view on a tap action. There are more buttons than will fit on one row so I have to keep track of everything to make sure it all stays in sync if the user navigates away from HA and then back again.
As I said it works pretty well and I have it managing individual user/browser combinations using browser_mod.
It looks like this
The ‘More…’ button moves on to the next row of buttons or returns to to the first row if at the last one. It also updates the view to the view of the first button of the current row. Finally the list of views are held in an input_select and can be reordered dynamically based on whether that part of the system is active e.g. Garden in summer, Heating in winter.
However it is VERY reliant on browser_mod which is a risk given it is not core and probably more importantly depends on never having a new user/browser combination (without updating the code).
I also think it is a bit over engineered which isn’t great for something so (conceptually) ‘simple’.
My question is:
Has anyone else achieved anything similar to this in a more ‘simple’ way who would be willing to share their methods?
Thanks.
