[Feature request] Show first speed range instead of full circle about lovelace-windrose-card

[aukedejong]

About the first speed range, not in a circle: I'll think about this and have a look at the code. I'm afraid this will be a bigger change.
I think the reason for other windrose plots to not show the direction for the calm speeds is that the wind is not strong enough to measure a correct heading.

About hiding the center percentage: that should be easy to fix.

Hopefully I can find some time to fix the second request in the next few days.

Thanks for your quick response.

Could we then have an option to define the first range for the calm speeds (unreliable directions) but keep the same steps?

Let's say my speed_range_step is 2 m/s, we could have a speed_range_first_step option and set it to 0.3. The first range would then be 0 to 0.3 (circle), the second range 0.3 to 2 (with directions), then 2 to 4 , 4 to 6 and so on. We could keep the same colour on the graph for the first and second range (from 0 to 2) so they would blend together. The windspeed bar could be kept the same and report the percentage from 0 to 2.

The idea would be to keep the circle small (proportional to the percentage of the first range?), not have strange values on the windspeed bar by shifting the rest of the values to the right (0.3 to 2.3 for example) and not have to define every step to be 0.3 .

I spend some time to see what it would take to make your first request work.

It needs to much changes at different parts in the code. And to make it configurable would add to much complexity.
It would be a nice feature, I totally agree, but with the current code architecture, it would make it less maintainable.

I will add the config option to hide the center percentage value. The circle will still be there.

I'm a little busy right now, but hopefully I can find some time this weekend.

Nothing new to add, but yesterday was windy, so I thought I would share my graph with you.
You really did an amazing work! Thanks again!

[aukedejong]

Nice.
There is a new release coming up, with a few bigger changes.
One change is your request of not having the center calm percentage.
An other one is support for HA 5 minute statistics data.

I'm currently testing and debugging.
Hopefully I can release something this week.

[aukedejong]

Your requested feature is released.
If you see any problems, please let me know.

[olivierouellet]

I put center_calm_percentage: false but I don't see any change in the rendering. The percentage is still rendered.
I did install the new version and I also did a full system restart.
Thanks a lot for your hard work by the way!!!

[aukedejong]

Strange. Can you share your configuration?

Tested in Chrome (MacOS) and Safari (iOs and MacOS)

direction_speed_time_diff: 1

The configuration changed in a breaking way.
I think it's easiest to just delete and add the card and modify the generated configuration.

Did you read the release notes? I'm not sure it's described clear enough in there.

[olivierouellet]

Yes, that's what I did at first (started fresh with a new card).
Here's the default config I get :

type: custom:windrose-card
title: Wind direction
hours_to_show: 4
max_width: 400
refresh_interval: 300
windspeed_bar_location: bottom
windspeed_bar_full: true
wind_direction_entity: ''
windspeed_entities:
  - entity: ''
    name: ''
wind_direction_unit: degrees
input_speed_unit: mps
output_speed_unit: bft
direction_compensation: 0
windrose_draw_north_offset: 0
cardinal_direction_letters: NESW
matching_strategy: direction-first
direction_speed_time_diff: 1

If I change these configs to get a graph and add center_calm_percentage: false , it does nothing to the center calm percentage. I did download the latest version and restarted Home Assistant.

I think you need a browser cache refresh.
It looks like it's still loading the old version.

[olivierouellet]

Oops... Sorry, my fault! Sometimes you need to get back to the basics!
It works awesome!!! Wow. This is really a great card. Thank you again!
