Make the UI more useful and safer #16

Closed mkfink closed 6 years ago

Present the user with useful settings like light switches first, and push situational things like atmospheric sensors further down. Also, hide things we don't want people messing, like turning on and off automations and scripts, or even having remote control of the laser cutters.

This add-on looks like it would be very useful for the latter point: https://github.com/andrey-git/home-assistant-custom-ui

Using this example, can hide admin stuff behind a toggle switch https://bonani.tech/managing-groups-visibility-in-home-assistant/

or this example to hide the view tab completely: https://bonani.tech/dynamically-hide-unhide-an-entire-view-update/

Automations, Scripts, and Emergency lights are now hidden behind a toggle switch.

Need to add some sensor templates to display laser cutter and chiller states without exposing the switch buttons.

lasers, chillers, air compressor, exhaust fan controls are now hidden in the self destruct tab

states are exposed as template sensors
