Open juergen-weber opened 2 months ago

Requirements

[X] I have updated Mushroom to the latest available version
[X] I did a search to see if there is a similar issue or if a pull request is open.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I coundn't find a slider for HA anywhere which implements the definition of ranges. Use cases are obvious and widely applicable.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement it in lovelave-mushroom. This would make this package even more attractive.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Can you provide a use-case ? I don't see a domain that can use that feature. It can be used for target temperatures for climate but it already has been discussed here : https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/issues/107

Use case: A battery to be charged in the range of 20-80% of its capacity.

I found mushroom looking for exactly this feature. There are really quite a few cases where range becomes handy. For example, I want to monitor whether certain temperatures are within a desired range (note that I consider this a different issue than #107). And yes, this can be done with two sliders, but I still would argue that from the UI perspective range is better (e.g., gives you immediate inside into the span for example).
