best way to set configuration values from Home Assistant

[scruysberghs]

Now that all emhass config settings can be passed at runtime I was thinking about the best way to expose those settings in Home Assistant to be set in automations, input select or input sliders. I now use a package yaml file and a script/automations to pass them all as runtime parameters to day_ahead and mpc rest call's. This is possible but left me thinking if it would be a better idea to just expose all emhass settings in Home Assistant from the add-on, including a HA dashboard with all the entities and graphs. Or if that is not possible from the add-on, from an emhass "integration"?
Just wanted to hear other people's opinion how they see the way forward towards a more userfriendly emhass before spending more time on my package file.

Some portions of the emhass.yaml package file I use now :

# ----------------------
# INPUT boolean
# ----------------------
input_boolean:
  ## Battery Settings
  pac_set_battery_dynamic:
    name: "Enable Dynamic Battery Control"
    icon: mdi:battery-charging-wireless

  pac_set_nocharge_from_grid:
    name: "Disable Charging from Grid"
    icon: mdi:power-off
...

  pac_maximum_power_to_grid:
    name: "Maximum Power to Grid"

    max: 10000
    step: 500
    unit_of_measurement: W
    initial: 5000
## Battery Settings
  pac_weight_battery_discharge:
    name: "cost weight for battery discharge"
    min: 0.0
    max: 1.0

automations and scripts to map the parameters to the payload template to use in the rest calls
