I’ve recently started diving into Lovelace and it’s been a fascinating journey! One of the first things I wanted to tackle was organizing my sensors. I came across the Entity Filter Card and thought it would be perfect for hiding sensors when their values are zero or very low. I have six sensors tracking my commute times, and it would be great to keep them hidden unless they’re actively providing data. While I’ve seen examples of hiding devices based on presence, I’m still exploring how to apply similar logic based on numerical values. If anyone has tips or examples, I’d love to hear them!
Another area I’m experimenting with is automating my home using Python scripts. I’ve written a script to handle entity IDs for my services, but I’m struggling with coercing the arguments into a list. It seems like a small issue, but it’s preventing me from making my script more versatile. I’ve tried checking the type of the argument, but it doesn’t seem to work as expected. Any advice or workarounds would be appreciated!
On a lighter note, I’ve been impressed with how Alexa can integrate with my smart home setup. I’m looking into using Alexa to set variables, like adjusting the temperature, through Node-RED. It’s a bit challenging, but I’m excited about the possibilities it opens up for controlling my climate system.
Overall, it’s been a mix of challenges and successes. I’m grateful for the supportive community that shares tips and solutions. If anyone has encountered similar issues or has advice, I’d love to hear your experiences!
