Add Text-Items / HomeAssistant-Sensor Display #353

Open

Description

@BlackAlpha700

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to have the ability to show sensor-values of HomeAssistant to visualize a status, measurement, alarm or anything else of a device.

Maybe such a status-display coult be an optional screensaver.

Describe the solution you'd like
Read the values from HA and display them in a room as an entity. These entities could be read only to show just a simple status or, if possible, control a defined button or something else: e.g. display a temperature-value and a fingertip on this value switches something or opens (the upcoming?) thermostate / temperature control.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative may be to display on/off-values with a color. Like lights for example: the label on the left and on the right a dot with red, green or other colors.

Additional context
Such an enhancement could bring new possibilites to use a NSPanel as a status display. Especially if one could select this as a screensaver.

    Good ideas, with the help of @tpanajott I've been digging into the source and doing some updates recently, but I'm currently working on something else atm., but would be willing to help with implementing something like that when I'm done there.

    NSPanelManager has very solid foundations, more HA integrations would really make it shine. :)
