Shortcut Buttons for Home (Screensaver), Scene and Entity #380

Open

Description

@uPz3TT3r

I have 4 nspanel now and flashed them to nspanel Manager.
So far it works great, but i miss some Features.

  1. I can Set Default Screen, but Not Home Screen (Screensaver) as Default . normally Screensaver is dark and so its difficult to read that Data.
    Some ideas: Screensaver as Default and another tab goes to next Page. Or a delayed brightness reset after going back to Screensaver.
  2. If you like to start at scenes you put that as Default, If you want to Go to entities from that you have to toggle and select the room at the bottom.
    Why not direct Buttons on the left side for every Option: Homescreen, scenes, enities, rooms?
  3. I have implemented scenes with home Assistant for my Kids room, but only the text is doing the scene, the Home Assistant Button which ist displayed above the text does nothing (but triggers visual)

    I'm not quite sure I'm following here.

    1. What do you mean by tab? Also, you can configure the screensaver to be the same brightness as when not in screensaver mode.
    2. What do you mean that you have to "toggle and select the room at the bottom"? That you need to go back to the main screen and then enter the entities page?
    3. Yes, that is a know issue.

    1. I want the Screensaver very dark for our bedrooms, but at morning i would like to see the weather forecast. How should that be done without changing Screensaver brightness via home Assistant? I could think of a "Home" Button that goes back to Screensaver mode but triggers brightness(darkness) with delay of x seconds (30s)

    2.I mean if you have normal entities, some scenes and you want to navigate, its not very intuitive.
    Our Panels starts on the scenes page on touch.
    If i want to select Not a Scene in some cases, the navigation is confusing, because that "summary screen" with the combination of all lights and so on is displayed too. A guest can not navigate intuitive.
