top bar no label icon only

HeronimonimoSuggested this wish ·

What would you like to add

Would it be possible to turn of the label for the top bar like there is already a toggle for the icon? That would leave more place for adding sensors in the top bar.

Making the decimal places configurable would also help in making more room.

can you explain a bit further how you would use this? because a lot of the times it is about the value right? is this more for "on/off" sensors? or doors closed forinstance?

I meant replacing the label in the top bar by an icon. Just like in Home Assistant. So a sofa for the living room, office chair for the office, bed for the bedroom etc.

@Heronimonimo Ah! Instead of the title of the screen, right?

Yes, exactly. This would leave more space for sensor values.

Can these sensors also made clickable? And clicking the clock showing the full screen clock from the nice new bedside clock implementation you made?

Thanks @Heronimonimo! This is better suited to a discussion than an issue, so I moved it here: https://github.com/MaxGramser/homeassistant_espscreen/discussions/107

Please continue the conversation there. I'm closing this issue to keep the tracker for bugs and concrete board requests.

Also requested in GitHub issue #144

What would you like to add

Some entities don't always need the text to be useful. So in the spirit of saving as much space as possible it would be most appreciated to set some Top Bar entities to icon only. I note there is an option for text only but not the reverse.

Keep up the great work and thank you!

How this relates to Home Assistant

Add an entity to the Top Bar and only display the icon, for example an EV charger can show a different icon depending on if a vehicle is plugged in.

This is in 0.4.58 (firmware 0.34.0). A top bar item's content now has a third choice next to Status and Last changed: Icon only. The icon keeps its state colour, so an EV charger, a door or a light still tells you at a glance what it is doing, and it takes a fraction of the room.

Update the app first, then the screen, as always. Closing this one, thanks for the idea!
