[Feature Request] Add thermostat temperature to screensaver / Alternative Screensaver Layout? #607

GravitySandwichh · 2022-12-03T20:31:43Z

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

Have the option to also show current temperature of a temp sensor on the screensaver

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

I use my NSPanel as a thermostat, it would be great if i could see it's current temperature of any assigned sensor instead of just the outside weather.

I'm personally showing the temperature in the upper right corner with an icon in case it's currently heating.

    screensaver:
      entity: weather.k3ll3r
      statusIcon1:
        entity: sensor.temp_wohn_humidity
        icon: 'ha:{{int(states("sensor.temp_wohn_humidity"))}}%'
      statusIcon2:
        entity: climate.wohnzimmer_boden
        icon: 'ha:{{iif(state_attr("climate.wohnzimmer_boden", "hvac_action")=="heat", "梅 ", "", "")}}{{int(state_attr("climate.wohnzimmer_boden","current_temperature"))}}°'

Alternatively you can replace one of the forecast icons like this:

    screensaver:
      entity: weather.k3ll3r
      weatherOverrideForecast4:
        entity: sensor.example_item
        name: name
        icon: lightbulb

GravitySandwichh · 2022-12-03T21:08:27Z

Issue is that both of these currently are only able to show it smaller than the current weather right now. If possible, i would rather have a big temperature and a small weather.

ArcadeMachinist · 2022-12-04T07:05:19Z

I guess it fits into this feature request.

Is there a way to override "main" weather temperature?
I see all 4 forecasts are overridable, but main one is not.
I would really prefer current temperature being read from a local sensor.

@ArcadeMachinist
Create a Weather Template in HomeAssistant, this also has the benefit that you can use the weather widget with the local temp in the HA UI.

Hi Jo i'm adding a request if possibile.
I'd like to have my personal temperature sensor in the screensaver replacing the "internet" weather temperature. Is this something possibile? I'm asking because the provider i'm using is not really reliable regarding temperature.
Thank you!

soyxan · 2022-12-12T15:46:54Z

Related to this, and considering that NSPanel was designed with thermostat capabilities that are being used by many of us (internal temperature sensor and relay outputs) I am also missing the option to show the status of the thermostat in the screensaver.
My suggestion will be a bit different, instead of altering the current screensaver (which for many cases is perfectly right) I suggest creating an alternative screensaver HMI screen showing the current time, big current temperature in the room and temperature setpoint. It is up to the user to select the standard screensaver or the "climate screensaver" from the apps.yaml file. What do you think?

joBr99 · 2022-12-15T15:44:05Z

Yeah, an alternative screensaver layout is definitly possible, I also thought about this.

Could somebody draw an "mock-up" to get some ideas?

I was thinking about a vertically divided screensaver with the time on the left side.

12 | other elements
34 | other elements

joBr99 · 2022-12-15T15:44:35Z

@LucaBors this is possible with a weather template

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/weather.template/

joBr99 · 2022-12-15T16:26:28Z

@andrei-micu-ro did your experiments with an alternative layout come to an result?

andyxpert · 2022-12-15T16:43:20Z

yeah, worked beautifully
I'm on mobile now, in a few hours I'll share some screenshots of my HMI
In a few words:

background with transparent items
temp/humid on screensaver
bigger fonts for some elements
some extra custom status icons at the top
plan on adding some state icons predefined for thermostats/climate and others (washer, dishwasher status, etc)
plan on adding a second screensaver for extra statuses

It's a pitty we can't have collaborative iterative work on HMI :(

LucaBors · 2022-12-15T16:57:19Z

this is super cool! work perfect! :)

joBr99 · 2022-12-15T16:58:38Z

And you can also use this template in the homeassistent dashboard :)

nicolas-lang · 2023-01-06T11:47:53Z

Hi,
I am not sure if this might be a separate Feature request, but I would consider it an "Alternative Screensaver Layout".
I think more flexibility for the screensavers would be nice I would love to see the option to replace the forecast with a "graph"

Graphs as a Screensaver

I am very conscious of the air pressure as it affects me quite a bit and I would love to have the possibility do display a simple bar or line graph like:

joBr99 · 2023-01-06T11:53:05Z

there are no graphs in nextion

we are working on a custom made card with a graph, that is drawn manually, but this will be limited to that card

nicolas-lang · 2023-01-06T12:00:07Z

Oh, I wasn't aware of that limitation.

What about displaying an externally pre-rendered image? (as a separate card and as a replacement of parts/all of the screensaver)

That should even give some additional flexibility for various other use-cases

joBr99 · 2023-01-06T12:00:48Z

nextion doesn't allow to transfer pictures to it on runtime

andrei-micu-ro · 2023-01-06T12:03:31Z

Graphs, niiiiiice :D

I had a tryout a while ago with some graph-like design where I had around 10 small sliders side-by-side, each linked to a custom template sensor in HA (which held the previous 10 values), but it doesn't look that nice, also you have to have automations in HA to update those "custom" sensors' values periodically (every 15-30 mins or so).
Scaling however is horrible as if you want better resolution you'll need to create more such sensors paired with the sliders.

Another idea was based on images and I had 10-20 "bold bullet" images that I moved around programmatically to trace somewhat of a graph - again it looked horror

@nicolas-lang - I suggest you install the Nextion Editor and play with it so you better understand what limitations exist and what you can do with it.
As stated, all images need to be pre-bundled in the image and you can't transfer anything new, you can only "play" with the objects bundled. The same goes for fonts (which need to be defined character-by-character and added to the image.

It's acually already implemented on the HMI Side and on ioBroker; only missing implementation for AppDaemon/HomeAssistant and there is a second type of this card WIP.

Although I would like some bigger font, for now I just send the temperature as a notification to the nspanel with a automation.
I don't need the forecast at all, I just want to see the temperature (date and time is nice, but could be smaller).

  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      payload_template: >-
        notify~{{ states.sensor.woonkamer_temperatuur.state }} °C~Buiten: {{
        states.sensor.weather_temperature.state }} °C
      topic: cmnd/nspanel_woonkamer/CustomSend

jiripaskov · 2023-01-07T16:28:46Z

PLease any idea how to get single sensor number (temperature sensor) instead of the whole weather forecast? Is there right now some easy way how to show bigger temperature number under the time and date? (on screensaver). Sorry but can´t realize hot to change weather template to show the defined sensor temperature. Thanks.

Like I said; just send a notification to the nspanel. It will fully overwrite the forecast on the screensaver.

description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: /1
condition: []
action:
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      payload_template: >-
        notify~{{ states.sensor.woonkamer_temperatuur.state }} °C~Buiten: {{
        states.sensor.weather_temperature.state }} °C
      topic: cmnd/nspanel_woonkamer/CustomSend
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      payload_template: >-
        notify~{{ states.sensor.woonkamer_temperatuur.state }} °C~Buiten: {{
        states.sensor.weather_temperature.state }} °C
      topic: cmnd/nspanel_hal/CustomSend
    enabled: false
mode: single

Perhaps you can play with the alternative notification?

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/weather.template/

Hello i tried to do it without success can you provide me more imput on how to make it ?
i tried the following code in the configuration.yaml file
i would like to override only the actual temperature

weather:

platform: template
name: "My Weather Station"
condition_template: "{{ states('weather.') }}"
temperature_template: "{{ states('sensor.capteur_fenetre_device_temperature') | float }}"
humidity_template: "{{ states('sensor.humidity') | float }}"
forecast_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.my_region', 'forecast') }}"

joBr99 · 2023-01-10T18:25:18Z

Use the actual name of your weather entity; replace weather. and weather.my_region with your weather entity. (You've already used that in apps yaml)

numerobis08 · 2023-01-11T02:14:05Z

It worked thanks :-)

jiripaskov · 2023-01-11T20:59:46Z

Thanks but sorry. I didn´t mean just to show only temperature. I would like to show standard screensaver with time and date but this sensor temperature in the size of weather icons (instead of weather). Notification will show only the notification text...

joBr99 · 2023-01-20T22:52:11Z

Slightly changed alternative screensaver layout to get space for two big temperatures.

Config Example:

    screensaver:
      doubleTapToUnlock: True
      entities:
        - entity: weather.k3ll3r

        - entity: weather.k3ll3r
          type: 1
        - entity: weather.k3ll3r
          type: 2
        - entity: weather.k3ll3r
          type: 3
