blasphemy: Switch to HA Integration instead of Blueprint? #1983

Enhancement Summary

With your own integration, you could break out of the corset of the one (!) blueprint and realize some things that are difficult now more easily and flexibly.

Detailed Description

E.G. https://github.com/Sian-Lee-SA/Home-Assistant-Switch-Manager is using its own integration (in the background it is using blueprints as well!) to do some fance UI stuff. This would streamline the users experiance and would enable the possibility to add features that are right now not possible:

  1. Cut the blueprint to smaller peaces per device
  2. Enable blueprint-variations, e.g. 6 Button pages with bigger Buttons (e.g. for older people or people with less motoric control)
  3. Enable navigation buttons (to see everything on the first page without the need to know that swiping is needed)
  4. To cut the options in smaller peaces, e.g. show the button page as a screenshot an you can click on a button to do the configuration
  5. Add more options for the buttons, e.g. to control the behavior of short / long press (which would make the the blueprint much longer if you would add it).

I know this stepp would be more of a radical one, but maybe it could set you guys free of all mayer limitations of blueprints.

Additional Context

Another way/alternative to control the length of the blueprint would be to add sections or the possibilty to hide stuff in the blueprint itself.

These are the people working on the editor of the blueprints itself: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/commits/dev/src/panels/config/blueprint And this is a pull request that could fire the whole project in an new area: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/19946 https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/110513

... and if they would add an option to hide input fields based on others afterwards that would make everything easy and smooth...

That is being released this week. I've already implemented the section on our blueprint. 😉

Great! I saw it. Really cool that you implemented it

It's in dev, ready to release when HA releases, however I may wait until next Monday as I will be off from Thursday and don't wanna have to fix critical things during this time. 😉
