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.
