Finland has its own track gauge (almost the same as the Russian), but now with Finnish & Swedish NATO membership the scale seems to be tipping in favour of adding standard gauge to a few lines up in northern Finland starting at the connection to Sweden's railways.

Home Assistant gauge card – manually defined colours

This post fits to #TIL (Today I learned) category.

The ‘normal’ way to define colours in a ‘gauge’ card is by defining severity from UI gauge settings. There are only 4 colours available in a sequence: blue, green, yellow, red:

Standard colours are defined using UI by turning on ‘define severity‘ and then entering thresholds for green, yellow, red:

But what if I want to define my own colours (e. g. green-yellow-orange-red)? Sometimes these colours doesn’t visually well represent the sensor value.

Firstly I wanted to define themes but because it didn’t work in a first try, I gave up.

Then I found out that Home Assistant gauge card help offers definining manual ‘segments’ for gauge card. So I switched to manual editing of a gauge and defined segments:

cards: - type: gauge entity: sensor.ikea_vindstyrka_airquality_01_voc_index needle: true max: 500 name: VOC index - organske spojine segments: - from: 0 color: green - from: 150 color: yellow - from: 250 color: orange - from: 400 color: red

For me it was easier than defining and editing ‘themes.yaml’. Maybe I’ll use frontend themes next time.

While 10 out of 12 metro lines run on standard gauge, the red L1 has 1672 mm. Not to be confused with the "normal" iberian broad gauge of 1668 mm.

Some challenges:

+ It may be necessary to consider the front/back view of a project. This may be as simple as making two different images from each set of directions... Or much worse! 😅
+ #Stitches may interact oddly with one another in ways my #knitting #newbie self is not privy to as of yet.
+ #Gauge would probably be standardized at first, but maybe could be adjusted somehow... Not sure. Stretching of certain cells?
+ Probably a bunch of other stuff I'm not aware of. 😨

The #baltic #european #railway news seems still a bit speculative at this stage (with #OTAN - #Russia conflict inside) but interesting to read about the switch to European #gauge of 1435 mm wide from the #Russian gauge of 1520 mm.
"Hailed as the largest #infrastructure project in the region for the past 100 years, #RailBaltica is a new #rail #transport infrastructure with the goal of integrating the Baltic States in the European rail network.The project includes five European Union countries – #Poland, #Lithuania, #Latvia, #Estonia and indirectly also #Finland. It will connect #Helsinki, #Tallinn, #Pärnu, #Riga, #Panevežys, #Kaunas, #Vilnius, #Warsaw."
