I’ve been playing with air quality sensors and purifiers in Home Assistant. Here’s my current layout on my dashboard; I want to improve it a bit more, but I am loving the glancable styling powered by the sensor values. :)
@cassidy what cards are you using for these displays? Do you let your purifiers run in Auto (10%) most of the time or do you have automations to change this based on AQI?
@cassidy I've found the auto/10% setting to be very quiet but still running, and the PM2.5 sensor updates pretty often. Does it fully turn off when at 10%?
I was running it at 10% yesterday while we were in the room and didn't notice it at all sitting pretty close to it.
@cassidy yeah me too. I'm thinking I'll come up with a drop down helper to drive the speed, but this is something that's missing from HA. An easier way to have a front end to drive settings on an underlying device. Like presets. I've made buttons for things like the hot tub with mini chip cards, but I'd love to have a way to pop up a control panel with different buttons
I have reached the stage where slim fit dress shirts are too billowy and tailored fit dress shirts hug my spare tire and belly a little too closely. There needs to be an in between for “does CrossFit but also enjoys IPAs”
