FR: ability to set colour thresholds for battery levels & change icons

[conorlap]

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great to have the ability to set colour thresholds for battery levels in the entity-card, so that the battery icon can change colour depending on current battery level (eg red / orange / green) - and ability to change the icon for various states too (if device is charging for example)

Additional context

The custom:battery-state-entity card allows you to set colour thresholds and change the icon when the device is charging:

This could be accomplished with a template card, if you're in a rush 😄 On the other hand, I honestly thought HA handled the icon state (capacity & charging status)?

[conorlap]

You're right that HA handles the icon state for capacity, but I don't believe it handles for charging.

custom:battery-state-entity card handles it like this:

  - type: custom:battery-state-entity
    tap_action: more-info
    entity: sensor.huawei_watch_battery_level
    name: Conor's Watch
    charging_state:
      state: 'on'
      icon: mdi:battery-charging-outline
      color: yellow
      entity_id: binary_sensor.huawei_watch_is_charging

where it needs the additional binary sensor 'is_charging'

The icon is already handled by the mushroom-entity-card. Only the color is missing.

+1 I would love to change the colour icon option for the entity-card based on state or values, I use card_mod for stock cards eg -

• entity: sensor.powerwall_charge icon: mdi:home-battery name: Telsa Powerwall State of Charge card_mod: style: | :host { --paper-item-icon-color: {% if states(config.entity) | float(0) >= 80 %} yellowgreen {% elif states(config.entity) | float(0) >= 50 %} gold {% elif states(config.entity) | float(0) >= 35 %} orange {% else %} Crimson {% endif %} ; color: white

I use the template card for that personally. But it's quite some work like that. An battery entity card would be really nice. :-)

[TarcisioMenezes]

I agree. Because the purpose of Mushroom is letting users add its cards through the UI easily, I think a battery card would be nice. Yeah, It's possible to do it through the template card but it's a little bit of work to write the templates for icon and color changes. +1 for battery card :D

[corvy]

Me too +1 :D

This could be accomplished with a smart version of the gauge card for mushroom for instance.

This could be the design:

But add options for setting the color based on SOC levels (% levels or similar). This could be very versatile just like the gauge card.
