Home Assistant Configuration

Lovelace HomeSeer WD200+ Card

This card shows the status of the seven LEDs on the HS-WD200+ dimmer switch connected using zwave_js. The color and blinking of the LEDs are set as configuration parameters of the Z-Wave device and the current zwave_js integration does not reveal them in attributes of a sensor (yet?), so this was kind of a challenge for me.

The code is at: www/homeseer-wd200-status-card.js

With a very basic configuration it looks like this:

    cards:
      - type: "custom:homeseer-wd200-status-card"
        entity_id: light.node_20

Adding a few configuration options makes it look like this:

    cards:
      - type: "custom:homeseer-wd200-status-card"
        entity_id: light.node_20
        title: Status Panel
        labels:
          - "Garage Side Door"
          - "Garage House Door"
          - "Garage Car Door"
          - "Front Door"
          - "Basement Door"
          - "Back Door"
          - "Alarm"

FYI, this is what my installed dimmer switch looks like:

Set State

Python Script to set the state or other attributes for the specified entity.

Excellent documentation and HACS installation available from (https://github.com/xannor/hass_py_set_state) readme.

Manual Installation Hints

1. Create <config>/python_scripts folder if you haven't already.

2. Copy set_state.py into the <config>/python_scripts folder.

3. Add python_script: to <config>/configuration.yaml if you haven't already.

4. Restart Home Assistant.

Person Location Custom Integration

This custom integration has been moved to its own HACS-compatible repository.

Combine the status of multiple device trackers

This custom integration will look at all device trackers for a particular person and combine them into a single person location sensor, sensor.<name>_location. Device tracker state change events are monitored rather than being polled, making a composite, averaging the states, or calculating a probability.

Make presence detection not so binary

When a person is detected as moving between Home and Away, instead of going straight to Home or Away, this will temporarily set the person's location state to Just Arrived or Just Left so that automations can be triggered appropriately.

Reverse geocode the location and make distance calculations

When the person location sensor changes it can be reverse geocoded using Open Street Maps, Google Maps, or Open Street Map and the distance from home (miles and minutes) calculated with WazeRouteCalculator.
