Device Counters
Settings for this can be found in /hki-user/device-counters.yaml and must be edited in that file.
By default HKI has device counters to create sensors that will show you the amount of devices/lights etc that are on at this very moment. Currently you can only use the preconfigured items that are named in that file, this might change in the future.
NOTE: It is advised to ALSO fill in the all_entities: sensor!
Information
When filling this file you get a few sensors that you can use in your setup. By default the header sensors should work out of the box (provided that you filled the device_counters.yaml file) You can use the sensors anywhere you like (for example inside of a navigation button), below is a list of all the available sensors you can use. You can find the documentation of how to setup a badge inside a button here and find examples of my personal setup here.
*Remember that this will NOT work without the device_counters.yaml file!!!
List of available sensors to use:
- sensor.current_devices_on (to show all devices currently on)
- sensor.current_lights_on (to show all lights currently on)
- sensor.current_climate_entities_on (to show all climate devices currently on)
- sensor.current_binary_sensors_on (to show all binary sensors currently on)
- sensor.current_doors_open (to show all doors currently open)
- sensor.current_windows_open (to show all windows currently open)
- sensor.current_motion_sensors_on (to show all motion sensors currently active)
- sensor.current_covers_open (to show all covers currently open)
- sensor.current_garage_doors_open (to show all garage doors currently open)
- sensor.current_fans_on (to show all fans currently on)
