openhab 4 on raspberrypi 4: I added animations and dynamic icons to my energy widget

In this video I show you some of the graphic updates I’m doing to my ENERGY WIDGET, still under development.

I added some effects to make the icons dynamic, the color intensities and the movement speeds, all based on the current state of the system.

Using expressions and some mathematical formulas the result obtained allows you to visually render the real-time situation of the system.

To manage the new features I added other configuration options, in an attempt to make the widget as generic as possible.

You can always find the source of the widget on my GITHUB repository, at GitHub - domoticsduino/openhab-widgets

The usual thanks to whoever had the initial idea from which I took inspiration Energy Widget like in Home Assistant Demo
