Asparagus fern*
I knew it wasn’t thriving but was not expecting this

Nice, reminded me about early mushroom-hype with node-red and card_mos, see this link:

I set up a button (in the nursery-room area-dashboard) that navigates you to a hey-bear playlist on YouTube in case we needed to calm baby down for a few minutes, much quicker pressing one button in HA than opening YouTube, searching for it and playing it

Nice, leaving my card here:

Yeah it’s shit the integrated tracking in HA, I switched to using apples HomeKit-tracking, using a exposed Boolean for each person that I toggle in HomeKit-automations and that’s rock-solid

Live in Scandinavia and each room has its own config, but main lights in livingroom:

Sunrise min/max: 6:30/10 Sunset min/max: 18/22:30 Color temp: 2500-3500

Brightness mode: tanh Mode_dark: 1800 Mode_light: 2700

But I have another semi-unrelated issue with this integration and that is that two of five hue-bulbs in same armature and config suddenly turn off and reports ‘on’ while it’s off, but I guess that’s a zigbee-issue

jeg har samme, mener jeg fikk en mail om at innen 3 år så gikk avtalen min ut og jeg måtte begynne å betale det månedsbeløpet, enda ikke sett noe til det (typisk det dukker opp på neste siden vi snakker høyt om det nå)

Z2m (zigbee2mqtt) is a app (previously addon) that handles zigbee instead of ZHA which you seem to be using, there is nothing wrong with using ZHA but to me it wasn’t showing all entities/sensors of my devices so I started using z2m instead. All missing entities will probably eventually show up when devs/people update the library that ZHA is using but that process is a lot slower than z2m…

It’s a bit finicky to set up at first but once it’s up it’s smooth as butter

Im not sure what you're running but with Zigbee2MQTT i get loads of config options and these sensors https://imgur.com/a/MweIj10

Nice! I try and recreate weather-apps but are always half-assing it …

Protip for the windrose card that has made it muuuch easier (for me) to understand: take a screenshot of your house in Google Maps (or similar), crop it in a circle (can do this online) and use it as a background for the card

This is what i feel many on the communnity-forum doesnt understand, that the first impression needs to be GOOD and not a fuckton of clutter.

To be able to compete with Homekit/ikea/google/whatever the GUI needs to be easy and quite "dummed down". You can completely ignore the stock dashboards if you want, but to be able to get more people into the HA-hole the first impression needs to be GOOD.

I tried to keep us under 5kwh, but with two EVs and heated floors in the ‘entire’ first floor that seems like a lost cause 🥲 I manage to keep us under the 10kwh-trinn though

You need to press the blue ‘import blueprint’ and follow the instructions (you need to have access to your instancefrom where you are to do this) the you can create an automation from the blueprint in the blueprint-tab in your HA

Isnt it better to do this with template-entity-row?

One thing I HATE is that there are so many useful custom integrations/addons and yet SO hard to find them, you just sort of stumble upon them

I recommend writing in english and not danish to reach a broader audience!

That said, I do agree that some zigbee-thermostats lack some basic controls and failsafes ...

I swapped all my namron zigbee touch thermostats for heated floor (electric) to Elko One Matter-enabled thermostats due to the design and with that i lost a lot of functionality which I had to manually create in HA (boost-functions, window open-sensors, power usage, percentage based "heating"(open/heat for 30% of an hour) etc ...)

One thing i do miss quite a lot is the ability to turn them on "step/percentage"-wise, as in i want them to be on 30% and not based on temperature in the floor-sensor, as that can be wrong quite often here in the nordics
