When to open windows based on air quality

Share your Projects! Dashboards & Frontend
1

Hi everybody,

I have developed a little template sensor, which shows me, when it’s time to open the windows and get some fresh air into our house. It is based on several other air quality and climate sensors.

I have tried to come up with a set of rules that

  • make sure the humidity does not get too high in the house
  • radiation based on Radon does not get too high
  • insight temperature should not get too high in summer
  • …

This is, how it looks like in my dashboard. (-> based on mushroom cards)

Let me know, what you think. Do you like it? Have you got a more elegant way to show something similar?

Hey @schneich,
many thanks for your effort here. I was searching for this kind of a while.
I updated the template a bit for my needs and also added the calculations in the template so my frontend don´t need to handle this.

Hi @Mar1us ,

thank you for your template. I like the idea of adding more attributes, so that the code in the dashobard cards can be simplified. Very nice.
I wanted to add an attribute to manage the visibility of the card. Unfortunately, dashboard card visibility can not (yet?) be managed by attributes…

take care,
Chris
