Add hints to custom buttons ? #65

Closed jds11111 closed 3 years ago

The custom buttons are great (once I figured out how to implement them). I had to pick icons for them, which could sometimes be a little opaque, especially for a housemate. It would be very useful to add hint bubbles when you hover over the icons. These could default to something like the command, but be changeable.

Hovering isn't possible on mobile though normally. How about being able to just add text next to the icon? I think that would solve your issue too?

I thought about that, too. The problem with words is the amount of space they take up. Right now I have a very nice looking, uniform row of icon buttons that I can quickly scan.

Ideally, it would be nice to place the buttons or icons on the correct part of the map, so that I could just glance at that part of the house and know what to do. But I suspect that is nontrivial to accomplish on a dynamic map. The information about zone location and size is in valetudo. Maybe it could be used to place a duplicate of the icon in the upper left corner, for example.

The hovering bit is usually something that I use a few times until I learn the buttons. A long press on mobile sometimes accomplishes the same thing as hovering, no? This would probably be easier.

Well, the issue is that long-pressing a button actually already means something in the Home Assistant world, which makes it inconsistent to use long-press for something different.

Is there a chance to add a names to my custom buttons?

Fixed in 22e44b9353e65abc32a508f9901c558808e6e1c3 as text next to the button.
