Use room names when configuring colors of each room.

[carefulcomputer]

Description

Currently when configuring the colors for each room, it shows the room numbers which makes is harder to color specific rooms with specific colors.

Solution

I have Valetudo vaccum and it supports changing room names and it already shows the names on Map in MQTT Vaccum Camera Widget. Please show the room names, if available , from vaccum data when configuring the colors for each room.

@carefulcomputer the rooms colors description can be reconfigured by a function in the advanced options.

At current it supports "one vacuum " only = one floor.

In Home Assistant is not possible to do "conditional descriptions" for the config_flow. If it was possible I would have implemented this long ago.

Although as you use the same vacuum for both floors and I noticed during some tests that the colors description and numbers are updated correctly. Please check the colours.md in the DOCS and try to customize the colors description.

Hope this helps 😉

After renaming the rooms of one of the floors it could be at this moment to get the above result.

Note that anyway it is necessary to refresh the page if not reboot HA.

P.s. the format is Room-ID, Room the 20 20 is because of Rand256 not customized rooms names.

The last on the list is the original fork whit renamed room names. The Rand256 has 4 rooms and was the last vacuum to rename them.

@carefulcomputer I didn't get yet any feedback from you I moved then this to Q&A (discussions). Will keep it open as per of course we can discuss and see if we can improve this functionality ;)

Apologies for late response. Here is what I see

Is there a config I need to update somewhere to see the names ?

[carefulcomputer]

Most of my rooms have name assigned to them like Kitchen, Living Room etc.

@carefulcomputer please operate the Advanced Options and then:

Please reboot Home Assistant and check then again the rooms names.

P.s. as I wrote this function is documented in the docs ;)

Yes, works perfectly. I had not restarted my Haas. Now it works awesome! Thanks so much.
