More than one status?

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion
#1

Does anyone know if it is possible to show more than one set of status icons using the .json files?

I have a sensor that is both a motion sensor and day/night sensor. I would like to have the normal sized status icon show the motion sensor icons, then have a smaller icon that will show the day/night value. I know I could do this using a child device to show the day/night, but I’d like to pack it all in to one “tile” on the dashboard if possible.

Thanks!

You bet it’s possible. For prior art have a look at the standard Thermostat Static JSON. I also do it in the Countdown Timer plugin.

Oh, you said icon. Um, not so much. Best way is to flatten the possible values into one variable taking on values (say), 0, 1, 2, 3 and then display that variable.
