@dolezsa i added the icons with the little man to the icon pack as well as icon picker support

from thermal_comfort.

So the following is my latest iteration:

Personally i am still not 100% sure about the thermal perception and simmer zone icon. But the limited feedback i got told me it was ok.

So the next steps I'd take would be to implement the as frontend integration (already done) and add a config option to enable the custom icons e.g.

thermal_comfort
  custom_icons: true
  - sensor:
    - name: livingroom
      friendly_name: Living Room
      temperature_sensor: sensor.temperature_livingroom
      humidity_sensor: sensor.humidity_livingroom

my favorite is version with a little man instead of hand... i think, we should vote. :)

from thermal_comfort.

I actually dropped that one 🙈. But no problem, i do all variants i have for the hand icon and add it to the icon repo so people can give them a try. Any changes can now be found here: https://github.com/rautesamtr/thermal_comfort_icons.

custom_icons options is merged and will be available with the next release.
So we should vote which of the perception icons we should use as default when the icon set is enabled.

What's your opinion? Hand or human?

from thermal_comfort.

The hand is a bit hard to make out and understand. The human is much easier to see and it makes more sense because it's something you feel, not touch.

So, I vote human.

from thermal_comfort.

None of them telling something for me as icon.
Human icon looks like body temperature or fells like temperature icon for me.
Hand is harder for understanding/recognize.

I'm voting for the "little man", you know :)

from thermal_comfort.

Thx everyone. Changed to the little man ;)
