For the top one, go to the radar site's page on Wunderground. Here's the page for ours: Fort Polk Radar | Weather Underground. Once you have the image setup the way you want it, scroll down to the bottom and click on Save Image. That'll open a new tab with your customized radar loop. You can use that URL for your image tile.
I mean it goes through their cloud.
The built in Nest application (which no longer exists for new users) has attributes for motion detection, person detection and sound detection but there are some issues with person detection.
I brought it up with @nh.schottfam and his Nest Integration might have the issue fixed as I think they are about the same codebase. You have to pay $5/mo for person detection. At the end of the day I don't value my doorbell cam's integration with Nest that much but I might switch to @nh.schottfam 's and see if doing something based off of motionPerson is more meaningful to me.
At the end of the day the cloud is for sure in the middle of this integration.
I put this together today. This is actually the third or fourth different version I've done since 2.0 came out. I feel like this is the best one I've done so far, but I'm still exploring different layouts and navigation paradigms. I'm running this dashboard on a Fire HD 10 mounted on a wall over a recessed USB outlet that I installed specifically for this purpose.
I'm pretty happy with the new release. I do have an issue with the Hue integration. The tile works in terms of my ability to control Hue devices, but if I use the Hue app or Alexa to change the state of the bulbs (e.g. turn them off, change dimmer level, etc) it is never reflected in the Dashboard. Other than that, everything works great and I think it looks a LOT better than Dashboard 1.0.
I love your dashboard! good job. I really like the organization. My only criticism is..... your pool is GREEN! and can you change the color with your HE?
