Waterkotte Display using the pictures entity card
This Repository was created to share the setup of the pictures entity card to emulate/imitate the Waterkotte heatpump display overview in Home Assistant. All but 2 sensors in use are originating from the below linked Waterkotte Integration. My heatpump setup is pretty simple: A1 Geo EcoTouch, no additional buffer or functions - apart from SG ready. SG ready was realized with a Shelly Plus 1 which I directly connected via 230V inside the Heatpump and connected to SG-ready input.
These are the 2 Display screens that shall be condensed into 1 card.
This is how the Card looks like:
Functions/features:
- Clicking on the house (top left) -> navigation to a different page/dashboard
- Clicking on the water / heating / cooling icon or temperature -> navigate to a different page/dashboard
- Color of water / heating / cooling changes according to state of the respective enabled and status entities ( running = accent-color, "auto" but not running = primary color, disabled = lightgrey )
- clicking on pump-percentage -> Navigation
- Pump-symbols change color according to state (on = accent-color)
- All the values update according to the sensors and correspond to the layout from the heatpump display
- different graphics (and icon/text-color) for dark/light theme
How to use

Changes required
-
Additional entities There are several entities that are not originating from the Waterkotte integration. These are marked with comments in the waterkotte.yml
- heatpump_power (center - displaying power consumption of heatpump)
- SG-ready (top right corner)
-
Navigation paths Navigation paths need to be adjusted according to the dashboard layout, I have not included any sub-pages as these are very basic.
-
Calculated sensors
- Spreizung Heizkreis
- Spreizung Quelle
- Percent Expansion Valve The sensors can be found in a separate file.
Additional information
