Hey everyone! I’ve been tinkering with my smart lighting setup and wanted to share a tip that might help others. I’ve been using Govee lights and Fibaro dimmers, and while everything works smoothly, I was frustrated with how static my dashboard looked. Every time I added a new device, I had to manually update the dashboard, which got tedious quickly.
Then, I stumbled upon a YAML solution that dynamically categorizes devices based on their room. It’s like magic! Now, whenever I add a new light or sensor to my master bedroom, it automatically shows up in the right section of my dashboard. No more manual updates! Here’s a quick snippet of how it works:
yaml
entities:
- type: entities
title: Master Bedroom
entities:- sensor.master_bedroom_lights
- sensor.master_bedroom_switches
- sensor.master_bedroom_automations
I’ve also created separate cards for other rooms and unassigned devices. It’s such a time-saver! If anyone has tips on further customizing this setup, I’d love to hear them. Happy smart lighting!
