map rotation

[AlexKash500]

Hello

Is there way to rotate map and zones coordinates with some option in the card?

[PiotrMachowski]

Hi, could you describe this case a little bit more?

[AlexKash500]

for example
now card is:

is there way to rotate like this:

[PiotrMachowski]

Well, can't you just rotate the image...?

[AlexKash500]

Yes I can. do calibration points need to be changed too?

[PiotrMachowski]

Yes, they have to be updated

[AlexKash500]

so there is no option to do rotate automatically. pitty :). thank for you great work!

I am also looking for a way to use the map at different angles of rotation. My first version robot often rotates the map at 180 degrees. Earlier I made two cards with two different sets of coordinates for predefined zones. And I used the one that fits the current angle of rotation of the map.
But I would like to have one card. This could be done, for example, if templates could be used in the card. For example, make several files with coordinates for different angles of map rotation and refer to them as

  - template: vacuum_clean_zone_predefined
    predefined_selections: 
      - zones: >
      [[[      
        return "!include /config/livingroom_"+states['input_number.map_current_rotation_angel'].state+"_deg.yaml"
      ]]]

But, if I understand correctly, now it is impossible to do this.

@gogenzuller this is a completely different topic ;) buuuuuuuuuut it is already possible to use entities as input for zones (I have forgot to mention it in documentation though...)

  - template: vacuum_clean_zone_predefined
    predefined_selections: 
      - zones: sensor.zones_after_rotation

or

  - template: vacuum_clean_zone_predefined
    predefined_selections: 
      - zones: sensor.zones_after_rotation.attributes.kitchen

@PiotrMachowski
O! This is great! I would also like to know what format this sensor has? Just a string like [[28844,28289,30950,29973]]? And thanks for your hard work. You've made an excellent card.

[PiotrMachowski]

@gogenzuller exactly like that. It can also contain multiple zones: [[28844,28289,30950,29973], [28844,28289,30950,29973]].
This functionality is not fully tested though, so it might contain some issues

[gogenzuller]

@PiotrMachowski Thanks. This looks even better than I wanted! So I'll be a beta tester :)

I have a query in similar lines. I want to integrate multiple maps with this card. I intend to use the additional presets for adding the second map but the problem is that first map is in landscape mode and second is in portrait mode. I dont see that there is an option to rotate the map in this card but if i use rotate with integration, it would rotate both maps. The solution I think would be to create two cameras with the cloud map extrator integration and rotate one of them. But I dont know will there be any problem because of double requests being made to the machine? Also is there any other ways for this?

Can we change the scan interval based on which tab I use? I have seen that we have an automation to stop scanning when docked, maybe like that

[PiotrMachowski]

I think this is possible to do it using browser_mod

[sheminasalam]

ok, but what about changing the scan_interval in the integration dynamically?

For example consider that I have 2 map entities for first and second floor maps. Initially in the integration configuration, the scan_interval of the first floor will be 3s and second will be 10s. When I activate an input boolean, can we change the scan_interval of first to 10s and second to 3s?

Is it possible anyway?

[PiotrMachowski]

it's not possible, but you can disable polling (auto_update: false) and call service homeassistant.update_entity from an automation to achieve this effect

[sheminasalam]

This can be my backup if the double entity setup is wonky, appreciate the help mate
