Create Sensor Entities
Create sensor entities for Landon L8 status information (e.g. wifi rssi)
Also prepare for temperature sensor which is built-in (not yet in firmware). I intend to replace completely with some I2C sensors.
currently that information is an attribute in the plate entity
That's more than enough so far
How about the Wh energy sensor in the Lanbons?
Temperature more important, for the sensor which is physically there on them. One wants to know the room temperature better, rather than what's the actual consumption of a bulb on the ceiling... The factory firmware supports it, and it has an option to set an offset value for it.
The energy sensor is working, the temperature sensor is not...
Common sensors (mostly config independent):
- Network status connected/offline (binary, sensor_class: connectivity) (note this sensor should never be unavailable!)
- Plate uptime (seconds)
- WiFi RSSI (only with wifi, ESP32 with ethernet module should skip this)
- WiFi signal strength (only with wifi, ESP32 with ethernet module should skip this)
- Device free memory (Heap, Block) (KiB)
- LVGL free memory (percentage)
- PSRam free (percentage)
- Idle state (text: short/long/off) - easier in automations, less templating
