Air Quality Cards (lemmy.world)

Given that the air quality is going to shit in m y area again, I figured I'd show off my air quality cards! Let me know if you have any questions. The colors for the AQI cards are from US EPA's color set and the the PM2.5 color values are based off EPA's PM2.5 exposure over 24 hours

^ These are based off the stock gauge card.

type: gauge
entity: sensor.airnow_aqi
name: AQI
unit: ' '
needle: true
min: 20
max: 500
segments:
  - from: 0
    color: '#00e400'
  - from: 51
    color: '#ffff00'
  - from: 101
    color: '#ff7e00'
  - from: 151
    color: '#ff0000'
  - from: 201
    color: '#8f3f97'
  - from: 301
    color: '#800000'
type: gauge
entity: sensor.airnow_pm2_5

  - from: 51
    color: '#a90737'

  - value: 151
    color: '#ff0000'
  - value: 201
    color: '#8f3f97'
  - value: 301
    color: '#800000'
entities:
  - entity: sensor.airnow_aqi

Cheers for that. I've recently added WAQI integration to my system, and hadn't thought that you could add more colours.

I tend to not use the mini-graph-card as I find it not customizable enough; too much room is taken up by other things than the graph itself (legend mostly).

[-] we_were_never_here@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

What are you using instead?

[-] EyesEyesBaby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using [https://community.home-assistant.io/t/plotly-interactive-graph-card/347746](Plotly Graph) for my solar panels. I do use some small mini-graph-cards without a legend though, but not as much as I expected to use them in the beginning.

Honestly that looks 10x better, and there's a decent chance I'm switching tomorrow. Thanks!

Wow, i didn't know AirNow was a thing. Making that card now! Will be more and more helpful as time goes on unfortunately

These are great!! I didn't even know about the AirNow integration!

[-] we_were_never_here@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Glad you like them! Now you gotta share whatever you build :)

I was originally using the Airvisual cloud integration, which wasn't accurate at all. I found the Airnow one right when the wildfire smoke got bad around here and it made a huge difference.

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

These look good. What source of data are you using?

[-] we_were_never_here@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I forgot to mention that, but the Airnow integration has been pretty good. I was using Airvisual Cloud, but that doesn't seem to be as accurate.

Upper Midwest? Milwaukee here, yesterday was awful.

Western NY. It's been pretty rough, but I think the lakes help moderate it a bit
