FEATURE REQUEST: Add more sensors

MimbaMonkeyHouse commented 4 years ago

Love this. Just had to hack a little the main pollutant sensor for PM2.5:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      main_pollutant:
        unit_of_measurement: 'µg/m3'
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.pm_2_5um') | round(1) }}"
        attribute_templates:
          pollutant_symbol: p2
          pollutant_unit: µg/m3
          lati: -10.5647
          long: 135.98975

This allows to get around the free plan limitation. A better value template could be created to change the value based on the sensor.us_main_pollutant... Anyways, it would be great to use this same card to display more sensons. PM<10 and PM<1 are no brainers, but others may want SO2 or CO as well. Additional sensors could be displayed below the main pollutant...

interesting, but what does your template sensor do in this example? Provide additional static attributes?

MimbaMonkeyHouse commented 4 years ago

It makes it consumable by your Air Visual Card... My original sensor sensor.pm2_5um could not be used by the Card as it does not have the correct attributes.

Is there a possibility to add more sensors for this card in an easy way?

dnguyen800 commented 4 years ago

could you draw a mockup of how you would like the card to display the additional sensors? I think it's possible to add another row and include the sensor data, but I'd rather start with an example so I at least get your use case up and running...

Hi @MimbaMonkeyHouse, check Issue #35 (comment with some code), you might find it interesting.
