    Like you I saw Reed's video on the dashboards and decided to do it. I made one for my phone then I just duplicated it for my wife. She then told me what she like, wanted, and didn't want. I just tweek hers for her requests and we both have the dashboard we want. Also, by her having me make adjustments to her dashboard, I no longer get the annoyed wife saying were do I go for this or that.

    Recently did this for my home assistant setup and love it. Added tones of entities in visibility as an ‘or’ to speed up dashboards changing. Super easy to control things in the room your in even when majority of the time spent in automating means most things just work without manual interaction.

    I've been toying with completely redoing my dashboard now there have been improvements like this made. I had not really done a lot sicne Lovelace was introduced as it did what I needed, and there hadn't been huge improvements to the dashboards until recently.
    You made this all look pretty easy, and I mighttake the plunge and redo my dashboard now.

  • @TheAppleFreak
    @TheAppleFreak 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Reed's video really inspired everyone, didn't it 😅
    I don't yet have BLE presence detection working reliably yet, so one of the things I added to my own take on this project was a set of three buttons at the top under the room selector that would quickly switch it to Auto, the computer room, or my bedroom. It's been quite useful in the interim at the very least to check and adjust rooms I'm not yet in, and I suspect that I might keep them even once I get tracking working more reliably.

    @daveforrester61 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is amazing! I saw this on Reed's channel too and was blown away. I'm still tweaking which devices we want to see on which dashboards (that's me and my wife) and I'll probably nick a couple of your ideas. I've also used espresence based room presence as the basis for an Alexa voice command we can use if we leave our phone in a room and can't remember which room it's in. "Alexa, where did you last see my phone?" Sort of thing. This runs a script in Home Assistant that announces which room the phone is in. Works really well. I'm still having teething problems getting consistent room presence from each espresence device as we have a modern timber frame structure house with internal stud walls. Just when I think I've got all the absorption and max distance setings sorted it throws up something bizarre. It's about 90% there.

  • @mrxmry3264

    at 1:17 you walk into a dark room. you could make an automation that automatically turns on the lights not when the sensor detects you (which obviously takes some time) but as soon as the door opens, if the lights in the first room are on. then you can use the sensors to decide which lights to turn off. just an idea.
    2:23 actually, i subscribed to BOTH his channels.

    • @HomeAutomationGuy

  • @headerahelix
    @headerahelix 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    haha I'm crazy about conditionals as well. I use them everywhere. Wait until you figure out dropdown menus and conditionals, extremely handy for quickly seeing only the cards you need that are situational and harder to automate.
    e.g. A drop down menu to select media player sources, which are shown on the condition the correct menu selection is made and hides them when you choose something else. Or a conditional dropdown that shows for only each person their own calendar, todo, notes, etc when each is selected from a dropdown.
    Another very useful application of conditionals are conditional chips. I have utility ones that show when any sensors' batteries are low as well as low stock alerts, for air quality, temperature, uv index that change colour according to their values, and fun ones that come up only on holidays which also work as a button to trigger lights to do something special and in theme.

    Your last remarks about the setup for each individual user, made me wonder if introducing a separate variable for the user, would make things more flexible?

    • @HomeAutomationGuy
      @HomeAutomationGuy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Possibly, but I find that creating another dashboard is more flexible and easier to maintain, as it lets my partner have a totally customised dashboard for what they think is most important to them for each room.

  • @wapphigh5250

    This was so awesome two questions. 1/ What card did you use to get the access back to the the "Home "(lovelace) dashboard 2/ Is there a way to avoid selecting the "title>navigate>tap action" process and have the dashboard just pop up straight from either walking in the room (ie Auto - once BT presence is triggered) or straight from selecting the room manually via the drop down menu of the helper? Thanks!

    P.S. You should take look at the HA Dashboard Chapter 2 video from mid last week. Many of your Sections suggestions are coming, plus a new header button/chip card coming in the 24.8 release.

      Yes, he was chewing on a shoe. I left him to it because it meant he stayed still long enough for me to film the opening sequence to the video without him annoying me... plus it was my wife's shoe.
      I recently caught up with the new dashboard changes and they are indeed looking awesome! I think we'll be waiting a bit longer before the header badges/chips are available inside sections - but I strongly support all the development they are doing and improvements they are making!

    I'd love to make better use of my Nest Home Hub. I'd like to see what you've been working on. Google Home speakers are the most useless tech I have in my house. The only time I really use them is when my kids ask me a question, then I turn to Google Home and ask the same question. 8) What I really want to find is if someone has written a guide to build a HA version of the Google Home Max. I'd love to build my own speaker using a local voice assistant, but with a good speaker. Alternatively if someone has built this into a whole-home-audio system I'd be interested in that too.

  • @stephennutt2565
    @stephennutt2565 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm curious the developer's logic used when room changes based on RSSI. For fun, with the help of CoPilot, I had Node Red calculate a running average of the last 6 RSSI values from each room and assign the room based on the largest average RSSI value. In limited testing, it seems to react quicker and also doesn't blip from one room to another and back to 1st like original integration does sometimes while moving.

    Great video. I'm a little confused on the chip cards only showing when they have the right state. Do you just do a horizontal stack and lists each individual chip card?

    I'm toying with the use of conditions to mimic "collapsible" sections in a dashboard page, for instance for scene selections for lights: a button card is mapped to a binary on/off helper, when taping the button, a grid with the full selection of scenes is displayed or hidden.

    If you wanted to not have to duplicate the dashboard for each person you could create the two drop-downs and show the relevant I've based on which user is viewing. Then set visibility conditions on room cards to something like:
    User 1 viewing and user 1 location and user 1 drop-down = Auto
    Or user 1 viewing and user one drop-down set to room
    Or User 2 viewing and user 2 location and user 2 drop-down = Auto

    As I'm implimenting the dropdown feature myself (already had the conditionals), it occurred to me a good feauture would be that if the dropdown hasn't been updated for x minutes (1 hour?) reset it to Auto.

    • @AhrenBaderJarvis

      Setting the entity_id of the service call to "{{ trigger.entity_id }}" would allow you to specify multiple dropdowns without having to write conditionals for each one. We'll see how youtube handles the YAML (minimized code for example only, don't copy paste as it likely will fail).
      trigger:
      - platform: state
      entity_id:
      - input_select.room_view_selection_ahren
