Value Representation

When hovering over an entity value, a small icon appears on the right side of the entry.

Clicking this icon opens the Value Representation window.

This floating window allows users to create a representation of the selected entity value, making it easier to access frequently used values.

Instead of navigating the full entity tree, selected values can be displayed in a simplified parameter-style view.

This is especially useful when working with objects that expose large or complex entity structures.

Representation Mode

The Representation section allows enabling a simplified representation of the selected entity value.

When enabled, the selected value becomes available in a separate representation view where it behaves similar to a normal parameter.

This allows users to quickly monitor important values without navigating the full entity tree.

The representation does not modify the original entity entry. It only defines how the value should appear in the representation view.

Representation Settings

When representation is enabled, the following settings become available:

Name Defines the display name used in the representation view.

Value Type Defines how the value should be interpreted (for example Float).

Value Tree Path Displays the original path of the entity value inside the entity tree.

Container Name Allows grouping representations into containers.

Use Case

Representation mode can be used to create a set of highlighted values from a larger dataset.

For example, when an object exposes many entity values, users may choose to display only a few important ones such as:

• device status

• temperature

• connection state

• signal strength

This allows quick access to relevant values without navigating the entire entity structure.
