Maintenance Dashboard roadmap (lemmy.world)

I really like the new Maintenance Dashboard. Trying to track batteries was one of the first things I did with my own dashboard, with automation. This seems like a small thing but an automatically generated dashboard to track batteries is so useful, especially for new people. Whoever worked on that: well done!

That being said, what’s next? Does anyone know how to find some sort of roadmap or backlog for this feature in particular?

Other things that would be useful here

  • printer cartridge levels
  • various filter ages and replacements

My one big gripe with the Maintenance Dashboard is that it Home Assistant now hides battery status on other dashboards. So, for example I have the devices for my off-grid solar setup all in a "room" called "Solar", and to show battery charge percentages on the same page, I'm having to use a template helper to make my battery percentages not appear as batteries so they don't get moved from the "Solar" room/group on my dashboard to the Maintenance Dashboard.

A way to mark certain batteries as not tracked on Maintenance Dashboard or something would be nice for the rare occasions where a battery state isn't a maintenance concern but is relevant to the area I've tagged it as being in.
