Add a "master alarm" entity #48

Closed Jalle19 closed 2 years ago

Jalle19 commented 2 years ago

There are a ton of different alarms, so it can be difficult to see if any of them are active. We could add a master alarm that is on when any alarm is on, and off when all alarms are off.

@JohanElmis @tomrosenback what do you think about this?

tomrosenback commented 2 years ago

A have grouped the alarms in HA, this give same effect as described here. I am fine with adding it here.

Jalle19 commented 2 years ago

@tomrosenback how did you group them?

tomrosenback commented 2 years ago

Like this I have it configured with the 2.1.0 release in a separate groups.yaml file

Nice, didn't know entities could be grouped together like that. I'll try it out, sounds better than hacking a "master alarm" into this software.
