I want to withdraw my request… 😄

Now I’ve learned HTML is possible with the Enhanced Device Widget, it got me going, and now I was able to create something I can live with. 🤗

This is just early stage… one evening of work. But I really like the fact that even html table coding works. So I got this right now.

And when active it changes to

(_Don’t pay attention to the figures, as they are currently incorrect due to calculation changes_)

For convinience I coded the HTML in an external program, en copied it in an advanced flow.  
The logo’s change based on a simple bolean value from logic variables.

I saved some space in the header where I will add the current power consumption.  
And this logo’s where quickly found on the web, but I will make better ones for my own in photoshop when I have some spare time.

Really happy with this result.
