Heating Control Panel

This was inspired by a GitHub issue to control heating; https://github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin/issues/73

Entity file

To build this, we use an entity file that stores and updates the status of a heater outside of OliveTin.

/etc/OliveTin/entities/heating.yaml

- title: Main heater
  temperature: 20 degrees

Configuration

Then use the following configuration file;

config.yaml

logLevel: "INFO"

actions:
  - title: Turn heating up
    icon: '&#128316;'
    shell: /opt/heating.sh up

  - title: Turn heating down
    icon: '&#128317;'
    shell: /opt/heating.sh down

entities:
  - file: /etc/OliveTin/entities/heating.yaml
    name: heating

dashboards:
  - title: Heating Control Panel
    contents:
      - title: "{{ heater.title }}"
        entity: heating
        type: fieldset
        contents:
          - type: display
            title: |
              <span class = "icon">&#127777;</span> <br />{{ heating.temperature }}

          - title: Turn heating up
          - title: Turn heating down
