Add Sensors to card

Open KrX3D opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

What is the feature?

Hi, i want to add additional sensors to the card which should be shown

Description

Till now i used the simple-thermostat card, and there i could add sensors:

  - type: custom:simple-thermostat
    entity: climate.kuche_000a1d8991df90
    sensors:
      - entity: sensor.kueche_temp_diff
        name: Offset
        unit: ' °C'

It would be nice if this feature would be integrated into BT, and the sensors could be added to the left side of the thermostat

EDIT:

For now i added some chips wit mushroom card, but i dont really like that

Wouldn't be too much information to the card?

When window is open the card itself changes colour, which already is a good notification.

Is the offset details and others so much relevant to have 100% seeing them full time? The card will be just getting or either bigger or the control itself small to fit all.

In my case I have a full panel just for house data, so that I dont have the cards from BT always out. If BT works without issues, best case is not even needed to "see them" :D

hi,

im not saying that those sensors sould be added per default, just you could add them if you want like on thge left side of the thermostat.

what i would like is something like this:

the card wouldnt be even smaller since the thermostat could be moved to the right

When window is open the card itself changes colour, which already is a good notification.

is it possible to add the window sensor and NOT use the function that temperature is droped?

i have rooms with 2 windows and 1 door can there be added more sensors?

@KrX3D you can group windows and doors to the room. In my living room I have balcony door plus windows. They are grouped. So whenever one of it opens, BT acts.
