Hi Guys

Need some assistance in making the dashboard in HA a but more user friendly for the rest of the household.

Basically I want to use the value from a sensor ( sensor.xxx_import_from_grid) which is the Watts imported from grid to update the display on a card on the Dashboard.

So if sensor.xxx_import_from_grid > 0 then button should read "ESKOM" or be a specific color or whatever, else indicate "BATTERIES" (meaning import from grid is 0W). 

Just an easy way for the household to see if we are on Eskom or Batteries. 

TIA

Hi Tia

I am currently running this in my home assistant with my Voltronic based inverter that is hooked up to a Rapsberry PI, it might help you with your requirement:

Have a great day

Hi @Parky

This is great, however I am using ICC - I assume the two can run in parallel and wont affect either?

I actually read up a bit more and used Templates within HA.Here is an example.

Basically creates a new sensor entity with the states based on the filter/if statement. I can then setup my dashboard using these new states. 

############ TEMPLATES ###############
  - platform: template
    sensors: 
      powersource:
        friendly_name: "PowerSource"
        value_template: >
          {% if states('sensor.xxx_import_from_grid') != "0" %}
            ESKOM
          {% else %}
            BATTERIES
          {% endif %}
      gridstatus:
        friendly_name: "EskomStatus"
        value_template: >
          {% if states('sensor.xxx_ac_input_voltage') == "0" %}
            DOWN/LOADSHEDDING
          {% else %}
            UP
          {% endif %}
