I made my own that used irrigation valves with a Zooz Zwave dry relay, with Home Assistant to control it. It was a giant pain to find and get everything hooked up right but afterwards it works well.

I’ve since found some zigbee-based irrigation valves in AliExpress that I’ll try out this summer. I think they’re about the same price as what I built per valve (considering all the parts and the time needed). I haven’t had a chance to try them yet as I got them at the end of last summer but they worked well in testing.

Yes. There’s no support (hopefully just yet) for multiple Home Assistant instances with the same account.

The only way I can think of is to disable the built-in updates, and set up time based shortcuts and have them do an if on wifi then trigger home assistant app sensor updates.

The way I’d structure it is a normal shortcut that you run from as many time-based shortcuts as you want to create (so you can reuse it easily). You can check the network name you’re connected to and only run if it matches your home network.

Create your own automation instead of using the blueprint. The blueprint doesn’t expose the location so it won’t work.

You might be able to look at the full yaml from the trace and copy it into a new automation (replace everything, then update the name). Once you’ve done that you should be able to use the visual editor and make whatever changes you need.

It’s called Badges - edit the dashboard page, then click on the edit button beside the tab.

Maybe a template sensor over the openweathermap_forecast_condition state? You can pretty easily have a template change its icon, and mdi: has all the icons built in.

Here’s a template I use for current condition in a card, but it should work similarly for the forecast. Or works just need to be applied to the icon of a template sensor.

<span style="color:#323232;">{{ iif(
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        is_state("weather.openweathermap", "partlycloudy"), "mdi:weather-partly-cloudy", 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        iif(is_state("weather.openweathermap", "clear-night"), "mdi:weather-night",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        iif(is_state("weather.openweathermap", "exceptional"), "mdi:exclamation-thick",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        "mdi:weather-" + states("weather.openweathermap"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        )))) }}
</span>
