Dynamic Starting Dashboard

[dannytsang]

Create a changing dashboard baased on what is going on. The scope is on the starting page to give relevant information for what is going on. Some of this already exists for #40 however there are more situations when something is relevant especially when something is not right.

Example relevant information:

• [x] 🤖🧹 Robot vacuum
• [x] ⛈Severe/bad weather
• [ ] 🚗🚆Travel information
• [x] 💧🏡House sensors like leaks
• [ ] 🚶Room based detection and context

Dynamic card for the vacuum:

  - type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
    chips:
      - type: conditional
        conditions:
          - entity: vacuum.t8
            state_not: docked
        chip:
          type: entity
          entity: vacuum.t8

Dynamic card for bad weather:

  - type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
    chips:
      - type: conditional
        conditions:
          - entity: sensor.met_office_rss_weather_warnings
            state_not: '0'
        chip:
          type: weather
          entity: weather.openweathermap
          show_conditions: true
          show_temperature: true

Keep getting failed connection trying to use Waze integration with entities.

Added more chips if devices are turned on. It's particularly useful for things like white goods that are not in view like our washing machine.

I use a power monitoring device like a smart plug or shelly and if the device draws power over a threshold then it will deem it as on. The template sensor uses the device class running.

template:
  - trigger:
    binary_sensor:
      - name: "Washing Machine Powered On"
        unique_id: ac5bc0d6-2199-4a2a-8d23-c2f81e8fe0dd
        device_class: "running"
        icon: "mdi:washing-machine{{ '' if states('sensor.washing_machine_current_consumption') | float(0) > 9 else '-off' }}"
        state: "{{ states('sensor.washing_machine_current_consumption') | float(0) > 9 }}"

Add the template sensor to a conditional chip like above:

type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
chips:
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: binary_sensor.washing_machine_powered_on
        state: 'on'
    chip:
      type: entity
      entity: binary_sensor.washing_machine_powered_on
