Mine have always been a bit functional, and I’m curious what more creative people have achieved.
Anyone fancy showing off what they’ve put together? Feel free to blank out personal information, obviously.
And on another note, I’m now moderating this sub. Hi!
Let me know if there is anything you’d like to see added to the sidebar, I’m aiming to update it over the next few days.
What integrations did you use for all those lovely dials and what config did they need? I would like to shamelessly copy!
Good news: The gauge card is a standard component.
It is indeed! Mostly just fiddling around with the settings.
@[email protected], here is a paste of the config so you can play with it:
(If you click show code editor, then paste in, you can then go back to visual editor with things configured)
Speedtest needle gauges and ping with colour change:
type: horizontal-stack cards: - type: gauge min: 0 severity: green: 80 yellow: 50 red: 0 entity: sensor.speedtest_download max: 100 needle: true - type: gauge min: 0 max: 20 entity: sensor.speedtest_upload severity: green: 16 yellow: 10 red: 0 needle: true - type: gauge min: 0 entity: sensor.speedtest_ping severity: green: 0 yellow: 15 red: 20 max: 100
Air quality with lots of different colours:
type: horizontal-stack cards: - type: gauge entity: sensor.oxford_air_quality_index needle: false min: 0 max: 500 segments: - from: 0 color: '#00e400' - from: 51 color: '#ffff00' - from: 101 color: '#ff7e00' - from: 151 color: '#ff0000' - from: 201 color: '#8f3f97' - from: 301 color: '#800000' name: 'Air quality: PM2.5' unit: µg/m3 - type: gauge entity: sensor.external_environment_f max: 40 severity: green: 18 yellow: 25 red: 30 needle: false min: -10 - type: gauge entity: sensor.oxford_uv_index max: 10 severity: green: 0 yellow: 3 red: 6
Once you’ve got your head around horizontal stacks (lets you put multiple small dials together), it’s mostly picking thresholds and settings colours.
Cheers! I’ll let you know if I get it working (in several weeks when I actually have a chance for tinkering!)
@GreatAlbatross @homeassistant I love a good gauge 😀
