Demo home

A simulated home: lights, climate, solar and a battery, meters, a car charger, the weather and prices, without any device.

In a dashboard file: a connection with "driver": "demo", its settings in config, and what a data source of it reads in that data source’s params (Connections and data sources).

Example

A dashboard with a connection of this driver, named demo, and a tile that reads it. Any number of tiles can read the same connection. In the editor, the values of params are picked from what the connection lists; ids in the example are made up.
