I would prefer this thread stays on topic as I would love to hear if people would use the feature I describe to make the time investment worth while or if someone has a better idea. Both a newer version of the sitemap and habpanel is the way to go so people can choose which way they prefer. Some people want fast and others want an exact look and don’t care the time spent to achieve it. Two different tools to choose from which is great. This thread is about improving one of the tools and not about if another way looks better…
Home assistant has a half way interface that is somewhere in between habpanel and our current v2 sitemap,
An example is this…
And a place to go looking if you want a similar look in Openhab 2.x
