Got it… I had it hidden due to some other module, my bad…
Quick question, can it show Celsius instead of Fahrenheit?
-
@stephenmelody Yes, but not correctly. I added this suggestion for the next release. Let me know if you have more :)
-
Ok, I can do that, although you might regret it!!
Some questions that might turn into requests… but these all seem to be minor tweaks
Does the heat symbol change colour depending on whether the system is heating or cooling, like it does on the app? (orange flame for heating, blue snowflake for cooling). In the example below, it’s currently 68, targeting 71. The app shows the flame in orange, that would be nice to quickly visualise if the system is running.
Can the order in which the sensors are presented be set? For example, I’d like my Thermostat to be at the top, not the bottom
It would be nice to be able to toggle what you see, for example, on my thermostat, I’m not too bothered about the humidity, so it would be nice to toggle that off - that would make the module smaller on my screen.
Great work by the way, I’m happy this is a new module, I’ve been hoping for this one for a while!!!
Here’s what I see

Currently No. I could add that tho. Currently the way you can check if the system is running or not is by checking the icon of the thermostat. It will change depending on the running status. I did that because a lot of people don’t like to have colors on their Mirrors. However, if you think this would make it better, elaborate on the different status and what should be displayed and I will work on having that as an option!
If you haven’t notice, when there’s motion the icon of the sensor also changes :)

Not currently. The results of the API will always give the Thermostat as the last “device” I can have that as an option also. Any other order change that you think should happen?

I will add that an option, keep in mind that you won’t save any space on the module, you only will see less information.

I am happy that it’s working! I have spend countless hours working on it.

Checking the icon of the thermostat - what are the options here? mine says ON, but the system is in idle (neither heating nor cooling). Is that what you meant? I have noticed the motion icon - I like that!
If you could toggle the displayed info, wouldn’t all the icons shift over to the right, if there was less on the line?
Elaboration, I think these would be the options, to be honest, I think it would just be System Heat Mode and System Cool Mode that I would be intereted in, I don’t have the capabilities for the other icons. I know a number of modules that I have allow for the toggle of colour on / off:

Right now it will show if the Thermostat is set to a mode (ON) or off (OFF)
First image is OFF, Second is set to AUTO (69-64):
That being said, to show when it’s ACTUALLY running I need to figure what is the best way. (if that is important)

Not the way the I have the code running right now :(

So you want to see the colors in the module? or see them when the machine is running only?
Thanks for the feedback. I can’t way to go back to work on it :)

OK, what would be “important” to me, would be to show what the system is doing:
So if the AC is running, then a Blue Snowflake, if the Heating is running, an Orange Flame, it would just need to be one of them, not both, as per the app example. If nothing is actually running, then white would be fine.
For example:
Heating:
Cooling:

@stephenmelody GOT it! I will add to the module! Let me know if you have other changes you want and how the module is working for you!
-
let’s start with that and Celsius. Let me know when it’s ready and I’ll test it for you!
Thanks, this module is going to be great!!

Installed module last night … Great work! and Thank you again for creating this module!
While installing I now understand why the CODE from ecobee module may have been missed by others.
I was expecting to see the code and still took a minute or second look to see the code at the very bottom of the last sentence in the instructions on screen. If this CODE could maybe be larger or maybe a color that stands out?? Might help a little .I too would like to choose which sensors are shown…or show them in a specific order.
One more thing that I would love would be making the module smaller.
I am still learning all of this and I played with Custom.css but of course the module will start to cut the wording and sensors off from visually being seen from the bottom up.I will play more with it tonight… but this is awesome already! Thank you!
