Node Red: A widget based dashboard working with Homey trough MQTT

I’ve used the msg.ui_control now to thange the icon of a button. With msg.ui_control you can change almost everything in the dashboard.

var color;

if(msg.payload <= 15){
// It is cold (lets make button blue and set icon)
 color = "#1848DC"
 msg.ui_control = {icon:"wi-wu-chancesnow", tooltip:"Het is koud"};
}
else if(msg.payload <= 21){
// It is normal (lets make button orange and set icon)
 color = "#FF6813"
 msg.ui_control = {icon:"wi-wu-cloudy", tooltip:"Lekker warm"};
}
else{
    // It is hot (lets make button red and set icon)
 color = "#ff1b13"
 msg.ui_control = {icon:"wi-wu-mostlysunny", tooltip:"Het is heet"};
}
msg.background = color;
return [msg];
