Adding a devices box that is not room-dependent (cross-room)

The title speaks for itself, the need is to have a box that allows displaying the features of the devices independently of the room. Example, we could group all the device battery features to have at a glance the battery level of our peripherals.

I also think of @Terdious, the box could have an optional filter on the type of feature (temperature / battery etc…) because with a large installation the list will probably be as long as an arm.

The goal is to avoid this:


or this:

I love it a lot! And thank you for the kind thought @VonOx :wink:

I voted too, great idea :+1:

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if the proposal was selected and if you had been able to make progress on it :slight_smile:

Thank you very much

Hello @Hizo :slight_smile: As far as I know, no one has started this development.

For my part, I usually follow the order of votes. Last month, I worked on using the calendar in scenes, a request that had 17 votes :slight_smile: This request only has 10 votes, so either it needs more votes, or we have to wait until all requests with more votes are developed :smiley:

Oh, I think that would be very useful.
Maybe this little update will bring in more votes :slight_smile:

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Hello everyone, I’ve started working on the feature. I have good results so far. I have 2-3 things left to finish and need to do the unit tests. I think I’ll have a PR by the end of the week.

That’s great! Thanks!!

The little PR that does the trick:

Quick question, why limit the types of equipment compatible with this feature?

Thanks! I’ll look tomorrow and keep you posted :slight_smile:

We only display what we’re able to show in this box; some features are not meant to be displayed here, for example: cameras!

I just reviewed the PR!

@pierre-gilles : I left feedback on your review :slight_smile:

So cool :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: I’ll check that out on Monday!

I just left you a review!

Thanks for the review. I’ve made the corrections accordingly :slight_smile:

Thanks for your fixes, it’s working on my side now :slight_smile:

I have some feedback but nothing very serious. Regarding the translations I suggest this :

(I think it’s currently an oversight, the text is duplicated twice)

Thanks again for the dev work :clap:

@pierre-gilles : Normally, I have fixed all the « problems » you reported.
Could you do a quick review again?

Thanks for the feedback — for the translations, could you use the same ones as in my screenshot (placeholder and title)? :slight_smile:

I’m trying to promote the use of the term « widget » in the front

It’s true that widget is clearer than box. I’ve made the changes :slight_smile:
