Suppress direction

[sciurius]

I use the compass-card for wind direction.

When there is no wind, it is not useful to show a direction. So in the case the wind is zero I would like to supress the direction arrow, direction abbreviation and value indication. In short, I would like to display the (empty) circle only.

Is that possible?

Currently it isn't, however a similar request has been done for unkown values in issue #176. I'll try to add this when implementing that issue.

Not quite the same but probably imvolves the same logic and code: Show a trail of one or more previous values.
For example:

[sciurius]

A workaround to suppress the direction:

  - type: custom:compass-card
    header: false
    language: nl
    indicator_sensors:
      - sensor: sensor.bresser51_wind_direction
        indicator:
          type: arrow_inward
          show: false
          dynamic_style:
            sensor: sensor.bresser51_wind_speed
            bands:
              - from_value: 0.1
                show: true
    value_sensors:
      - sensor: sensor.bresser51_wind_beaufort

Added benefit is that the direction is suppressed when the wind speed is zero. The beaufort value reaches zero for wind speeds below ≈0.4 m/s.
