I am looking for a way to enter setpoints in A (amps) on the dashboard similar to temperature setpoints, but when creating « device » widgets I don’t see the virtual devices with intensity values that I created for this purpose. Only on/off devices are accessible.
Perhaps that’s simply not the right solution.
My goal is to create maximum intensity values (or other setpoints, operating parameters) that vary according to criteria which will be used in scripts. These values would be modifiable on the dashboard, like a thermostat for example.
It’s an « Intensity » feature in an MQTT device.
The goal is to have a number of operating parameters that will be used in scenes or scripts.
In this specific case:
a max intensity for the current value
a « winter » max intensity as a parameter
a « summer » max intensity as a parameter
I would then have the EDF tariffs for optimization calculations, a ratio for my calculations, etc.
Feature creation works well; they are accessible in scenes but not in the dashboard and the « control a device » widget to enter a value. However, boolean features are accessible on the dashboard.
So, there are several pieces of data, but the vast majority are parameter/setpoint-type data that I want to modify to adapt the behavior of the algorithms.
I actually thought that we could control any functionality of a device in the dashboard, for reading or writing.
The « Ampere » feature was, until now, only a sensor feature for devices that report amperage values. You’re the first to request control of it, so indeed we haven’t added the ability to do so.
