Hi, for some reason my IP address keeps getting banned and this is the error in logs:
Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from

it says its banned for too many login attempts but I am not logging in

I thought it might be someone trying to hack me or something but its my personal IP address that my house is connected too

How can I change icon color with lovelace minimalist in vertical button card? I mean the color when state is off

I added a light switch and want the off state to be blue instead of grey

[blazing wren]

You can have the colour switch automatically: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/entities/#state_color
But I think the colour will be related to the theme you are using.

[umbral stirrup]

Well yes, lovelace minimalist is selected as theme

Is there a way to change the home radius in the gui without going into yaml file

I don't know if you're provider uses dynamic IP addresses, this might explain why you can't reach it. Or foes you're provider use one IP for multiple houses

Hi all. Is it possible to use variables or code within URL inside iframe (webpage card)? For instance {{ code }} notation? I need to insert current date such as {{ states('sensor.date').replace('-','') }} into the URL but it does not work.

Hi I have multiple views under the default (overview) dashboard but when i try to select them with the play media option in an automation they are not listed and I can only select the default one. Is this how its meant to work or is something wrong?

[sudden swift]

I've created some input_selects in the configuration.yaml (as when done through the helper menu doesn't let you modify existing options, so easier), trying to add it to my dashboard but it only shows the initial value and none of the options.

If i goto the helper section and click on the input_select and goto the settings it has all the options, so seems to be an issue with the dashboard

Anyone know how to fix this?

[vapid field]

Could someone help me? I don't see the way to show in the Lovelace the photo of an mqtt camera...

Just got my hands on a cheap Galaxy Tab A8 for my HA dashboard and downloaded Fully Kiosk for all the different features it offers. I currently use HA companion app on the tablet (i prefer the app over a browser for all the sensors HA pulls in) and I have set up the rest API to launch Spotify app when I tap a button in HA. That all works great and I’m happy, however ideally I would like to find a better way to navigate back to HA from Spotify that doesn’t require a middleman. Right now the user flow is:

Launching Spotify: Tap a button to launch Spotify app > Spotify loads flawlessly

Navigating back to HA companion app from Spotify android app: Spotify > home button to get back Fully Kiosk App > tap home assistant icon in fully kiosk> home assistant app launches

Does anyone know if there is a way to skip the fully kiosk steps listed above when I’m trying to navigate back to HA?

Hey guys, I'm showing a window status ("Windows are open/closed" on a markdown card, the entity I'm using is a group of all lights in the house.. Can I still let him show the single open windows below the status?

[fiery ledge]

sure, just add a template which selects that 'open' window. Though I dont get why you would use the lights group for showing your open windows 😉

Try looking at an input_boolean instead.

Hey @polar kelp would you know what's wrong with the map loading? Not sure if you still work on browser mod from time to time. I'm seeing the same issue as op
https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod/issues/344

[polar kelp]

The map card has always caused trouble because it's loading the map in from a third party. There's no way to know how long this will take, and card-mod can't just wait around forever before doing it's thing.

[shadow vessel]

I see. Makes sense. Not the end of the world just wondering if it was a bug or a pop-up configuration error. I was thinking it was a cache thing.

[fiery ledge]

it has worsened though, dark mode no longer being completely recognized/displayed https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/13236. Happening some same 5/6 days ago 😉

[visual grove]

Does anyone happen to know off hand what aspect of a theme controls the opacity of the bar at the bottom of picture glance cards? My cameras have labels at the bottom of the screen that show thru behind my entity icons and I'd like to darken that area.

still being new to UI view editor, I'd like a view to use type: custom:horizontal-layout layout: max_cols: 2 but I keep seeing 3 columns.

Ive also tried to add the type: custom:horizontal-layout in the ui editor, but that too results in 3 columns. What am I doing wrong please?

[noble tangle]

hi short question: i have an idea for an improvement: since a while there is a checkbox for creating a backup before updating several things. as i have automatic backup every night, this checkbox is rather annoying, because i have to uncheck on every update. is it possible to make a defaut state for the checkboxes of update entities (i hobe frontend channel is the right place for this)

[dark dirge]

doesn't it just back up the things that are being updated?

it doesn't run a full backup every time

[noble tangle]

an in case of ha core update ?

[dark dirge]

you can check what it's backing up

[noble tangle]

no i meant, when updating to the latest core version i have to uncheck that i want to make a backup before i update

[dark dirge]

I do the same as you and regularly unchecked that box on every update, but decided it just wasn't worth it giving the partial backup

in any case, I'm not aware of a default that can be changed for that

[noble tangle]

so do you know where to place this feature request ? github ?

[kind shell]

If you have a feature request for the frontend you can open one here, for Home Assistant itself please post on the forum. All other feature requests should be made to the developer of that custom card/component.

Command '~features' was invoked by: RobC

[polar radish]

Based on recent experience, yes, it backs up everything. As a minimum, it backs up the entire /config subdirectory and possibly others as well. Some updates to extras such as node red might not back up the entire thing.

[dark dirge]

That's what I'm talking about

There's no point in only backing up some of the config dir

[polar radish]

Also of interest, if you restore a backup it doesn't just overwrite the files with the backed up version. Instead it wipes out absolutely everything in the config directory and replaces it with an image of what was backed up. Took me a while to figure that one out as I was trying to make a secondary backup of certain files prior to doing a restore. It wiped everything instead. I had to download the files in question to another computer and then, after the restore, upload them back to the HA computer.

[dark dirge]

Doing otherwise could leave the system in a broken state with a mix of files

It's essentially 'restore back to that system state'

[polar radish]

Oh I can see why it's done ... it just surprised me and I thought I would point it out to potentially save somebody some time.

[frail bison]

Is there a good way to test custom cards for a custom integration I'm building in the core dev env? I don't really see the necessary folder structure in the core dev environment to do it (<config>/www/my_custom_card.js)

Or do I just get the integration working, throw it on my prod HA and then build the custom card there?

[devout charm]

I have a location tracker for my car showing on a map card. I'm also collecting 'heading' data as degrees - is there a way to change the indicator from the basic circle to an arrow that changes direction?

Hi I keep getting this:

Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from MY-IP-ADDRESS-HERE. (Linux UPnP/1.0 Sonos/69.1-31120 (ZPS14))

and then it bans my IP from getting onto my server

[blazing wren]

Did you change your password or enable 2FA recently?

[simple grotto]

nope

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/constant-invalid-authentication-from-sonos-devices-in-logs/442328

seems like someone else is also having this issue

started about the same time

[blazing wren]

Well, you could try turning on/up logging for the Sonos integration

It would be interesting to know if the integration makes a call right before this happens

[simple grotto]

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    sonos: debug

like that?

[blazing wren]

Nope, you need the full component path.

homeassistant.components.sonos I believe, though I'm not sure off the top of my head

[simple grotto]

logger:
default: warning
logs:
homeassistant.components.sonos: debug

I tried that and still it shows the same sort of error in logs - nothing more

[blazing wren]

Did you restart?

[simple grotto]

sure did 🙂

[blazing wren]

Then it's not linked to a call HA is making to Sonos. If it were, then you'd be able to track if down more easily. As it is, sounds to me like it might be an issue related to the Sonos #integrations-archived, but it's not something it's directly doing.

[smoky quartz]

Installed two themes, rebooted home assistant, nothing is showing to change the theme.

Hello. I have a few questions.... Refresh Tokens... Underneath it it says "Each refresh token represents a login session. refresh tokens will be automatically removed when you click log out.". First, am I missing the log out button? I don't see one! How can I click log out if it's not there?

My second question is, do these ever delete on there own? I just close the browser window... However, the refresh tokens are STACKING up!!!

[unique prism]

Would it be possible for the frontend's "back" button on supervisor add-on detail pages to NOT trigger a history.back() but instead really go back to the add-on overview? It's kinda annoying that when you have clicked back and forth between some tabs of the add-on detail view, that the back button is replaying all the tab clicks in reverse order before it finally jumps out of the detail view again. An alternative would be to not add tab changes to the browser history, but this likely would also prevent direct links to a specific tab, which might not be desired. Thanks

[kind shell]

@inner stump posted a code wall, it is moved here --> https://hastebin.com/ifuzikuliz

[polar kelp]

I don't think it works that way.

entity_name_0 works because the one in dashboard.yaml just overrides the one in button_card.yaml so that one's never read or processed.

I.e it does exactly what you are trying to do.

I never used custom:button-card, so I don't know for sure, but according to the documentation that's what it does too...

You can add variables to your templates and overload them in the instance of your button card.

[inner stump]

I think i found solution in operator ?. and looks like this after:

      [[[
        if (variables?.entity_name_id_0 == "undefined")
        {
          return variables.entity_name_id_0;
        }
        else
        {
          return null;
        }
      ]]]```
but strange thing is i need use operator ``==`` and not ``!=`` otherwise not works.

[polar kelp]

undefined is not the same thing as "undefined".

If variables doesn't exist, variables?.entity_name_id_0 will be undefined, so you get undefined == "undefined" which is false.

What you actually would want is variables?.entity_name_id_0 !== undefined, but again: in that case the local variable will likely override this one so it's not even processed in the first place.

[inner stump]

ah thanks for this interesting info

[muted kite]

one of my hue lights with z2m is showing as on/off buttons on an entities card rather than a toggle. Any ideas why? how to make it a toggle?

[flat copper]

Thank you! Not sure how I missed that 🙂 So, log out is there 🙂 I do think it would be better on the home screen, but at least it's there 🙂 However, it still doesn't explain refresh tokens stacking up. I have the "Automatically close connection " turned on. Is it suppose to delete the tokens?

Also, have another question. Is there a way to after clearing ip_bans.yaml to refresh without restarting HA?

[vapid field]

Hi guys

I recently updated from 2021.11 to 2022.7 and I can't find the supervisor tab on the left menu.

I managed to find the addons windows but I can't find the tab in which setting an IP and stopping the host was doable

[azure canopy]

@vapid field
Settings > System > Network for the IP settings

Settings > System > Hardware > 3 dot menu in the top right corner for stopping the host

[azure canopy]

by setting a state topic. It currently has an assumed state, so you get both the option to turn it on and off

[thorn ridge]

I'm in doubt where i upload pictures for my cards. I'm trying 'background: url('/local/living.png')' but i have no idea where i upload the picture. Is it just a parent direction of HA?

[fiery ledge]

still struggling with my columns in a UI view. set max_cols: 2 but it keeps showing me 3...have this under View type type: custom:horizontal-layout layout: max_cols: 2

[polar kelp]

Could it be that they're all at the same spot, since you set top: 0 left: 0 on almost all of them?

[rose lintel]

I guess I don’t understand the docs correctly. I’ve set line_height to position them. That’s all different

[polar kelp]

Which docs? The official ones mention pretty much only top and left and says to use that for positioning. https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/picture-elements/#how-to-use-the-style-object

And line-height is a CSS property that applies mainly to pure text anyway.

[rose lintel]

Okay thanks for the info. I’ll try adjust that way. I thought I read that it’s the starting position followed by line height and padding to move it around

https://github.com/jimz011/homekit-infused/blob/5.x.x-docs/docs/addons/picture-elements.md

Is where I took most of the code from. But these are not actionable in any way just static icons

[rose lintel]

@polar kelp thank you. Just changed the bottom 3 and they all work now. Will do the rest on the computer 👌

Can someone help me figure out why my Configuration tab is not present on my sidebar? I have default_config in my yaml file. I even tried adding config to no avail. I have restarted multiple times.

[rustic aurora]

I've been having some issues using a custom font in a dashboard, but only in Chrome (desktop and mobile).
I have a CSS file containing @font-face definitions and I had this loaded as a CSS resource and I'm using card-mod to change the font in Markdown card to the custom font.

This was working fine initially, but a while ago I found that on reloading the page or navigating to another dashboard and back, the font reverts to the default font. Switching to edit mode on the page or opening and closing the developer tools (anything which causes a redraw) it gets the custom font again.

I don't see the same in Safari, I can reload and navigate and it still keeps the custom font.
Any ideas why this may be happening? I've tried injecting the font CSS using a JS module in extra_module_url in case loading it earlier helps, but it made no difference.

[inner sphinx]

Loaded question - but has anyone explored using HA in a headless way? The thinking is to build a completely custom Vue app to control the UI.

[halcyon mantle]

Any idea how to prevent the different shadings? I have two custom-folds followed by an conditional card. --> https://imgur.com/a/dRYShaa

[polar kelp]

"custom-folds" as in "fold-entity-row"?

[halcyon mantle]

yes - correct

[polar kelp]

Wow. It's actually been a while.

There's actually an issue about that on github. I recommend you read this: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-fold-entity-row/issues/146

[halcyon mantle]

Thank you!

[polar kelp]

It's also mentioned in the readme.

[halcyon mantle]

Quickly read through that. All those mentioned are part of one entities card. The two fold-entity-row objects, then just a normal entity, input_boolean.

[polar kelp]

For your next question; there's also a conditional ROW: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/entities/#conditional

[halcyon mantle]

This is the full configuration of the entities(conditional) card --> https://pastebin.com/mk9Kzprp

Perhaps I should take a step back and explain what I am doing, and trying to achieve.

I have an input number I use to set my inverter's power limit depending on the situation. The power limit is not always applied, so it is governed by an input_boolean. So on the frontend my idea is to have the input_boolean visible. If it is in the off state, only it should be visible, and should it be in the on state it should display the input_number slider to set the maximum limit for the inverter. I hope it makes sense

[polar kelp]

That doesn't look anything like your picture. There's no fold-entity-row with an input_boolean in the head there.

[halcyon mantle]

Here is a bigger snip of the frontend --> https://imgur.com/a/iIovVwP

[polar kelp]

Then It still looks like the problem is that your first two folds are not in an entities card, while the third one is.

[halcyon mantle]

Here is a bigger code snippet showing the enitities. https://pastebin.com/7BtccD2L

I think the penny dropped....

They are in a vertical stack....

[polar kelp]

type: entities
entities:
  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    ... Grid feed in maximum
  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    ... Grid setpoint
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      ... same as before
    row:
      type: custom:fold-entity-row
      ... Inverter max power```

[halcyon mantle]

Suddenly I feel very very stupid - read your readme a couple of times and didn't spot it. Thank you for your patience and assistance. It is much appreciated! Also, thank you for your awesome contributions to HA - My instance wont be nearly as awesome without them.

[polar kelp]

You got it faster than many. Believe me

[halcyon mantle]

I'm sure it was pure luck.

[polar kelp]

I'm sure it wasn't.

[wanton lynx]

I am going to try asking this here before the HA forums. I have my minimalist dashboard setup but want to implement version control or something using GitHub. Is that possible? I am currently using the Visual Studio Code addon for my IDE.

[halcyon mantle]

Is it possible to change a state-icon color when it is unavailable on a picture-elements card? I believe the paper-item-icon-color is only applicable when the entity is available.

[sonic kettle]

\o hello guys, I'm looking for a possibility to use one button on my dashboard that does the following:

• the Icon changes on the state of a sensor entity
• if the state of the sensor is "on" => a tap on the button should trigger my switchA entity
• if the state of the sensor is "off" => a tap on the button should trigger my switchB entity

is that possible?

this in just one icon

[fiery ledge]

anything is possible.... you could write a backend script to do that, and add that script to the frontend in a regular button. Probably even easier would be a custom: button-card, and have those particulars configured in the actions (the 'triggering', not sure what that would do, but you maybe mean 'toggle'?) and state or style (the icon)

[fiery ledge]

hope this post makes clear what I am doing and what result it yields... 3 cols instead of 2 I'd like: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/view-shows-3-columns-even-though-max-cols-is-2/445274

[polar radish]

I have a picture card on my lovelace view that displays what is going on in my driveway. It is small. I would like to double click on it to make it full size and again double click to go back to the shrunken version - what is the accepted/recommended method of doing this?

[sonic kettle]

Yeah it is a DIY blind remote, that is connected with a Wemos D1 to the original remote… that’s why I need 2 gpios on the wemos and so 2 entity to open or close it. The sensor is from zigbee, that tells the actual state

[polar radish]

Further to my question above on how to resize a picture entity card - I can use the 'navigate' action to get me to a full sized picture but then I am stuck at the picture without a way to toggle back to the original view.
I am sure there must be a simple way of doing this and I am just making it too complicated ....

[fiery ledge]

really not sure what to help you with. Not even sure if this is #frontend-archived at all, given the complexity of the backend logic, or that you have that working already... you might be served better in #integrations-archived for that, and come back for the final Frontend touch here

I've made a script for a sleep timer for my AC and am using a mushroom 'chip' template card to trigger it. When I tap it, it either starts, increments by 30 mins or cancels the timer.

I'm really happy with it, but the only flaw in my plan is that the time displayed doesn't update live, it stays static to the last time the script was run. Is this possible?

See the chip at bottom right.

[umbral stirrup]

Hey, how would I make my own custom card for lovelace minimalist? I followed the guide on lovelace github, made the folder and yaml file like you're supposed to. Now I wanted just to edit one of the default cards, since I don't like the icons, so I copied the whole template code, changed the icons and then changed the first line under --- to my own (instead of card_cover now it's custom_card_cover_etc). But it says that the template is missing. What could I be doing wrong?

This is my template: https://pastebin.com/XA4LpVTU

I'm not sure at all what I'm doing wrong, as I changed only the name of the icons and the name of the template

I can see that the custom card is missing in another lovelace minimalist folder, but I'm not sure why, as when I added other custom cards, it would be created automatically or somewhat like that I guess

[frail bison]

I'm trying to use three vertical stacks to display three cards side by side, but the second two vertical-stacks get placed one on top of the other instead of three columns... not sure what i'm missing https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/vijupegola.less

[devout charm]

you can put your vertical stacks in a horizontal stack to keep them side by side. Or use a grid.

[frail bison]

the gird card appears to 'squish' the cards together in a single column

i will try the horizontal stack container

[frail bison]

yeah that just crams all three cards into a single column width, which mashes all the data up

the Schedule and Homework card shouldn't be stacked vertically, they should be side by side. Maybe its just that my window isnt big enough at full screen to auto sort into 3 columns?

maybe i'll try the HACS layout-card

[frail bison]

layout-card is doing the trick, would be sweet to have some better native capability for moving cards around dashboards

[left sentinel]

If you set the dashboard to use a single card rather than brick style and then horizontal grid around your verts?

[vapid field]

Is it possible to change the state of a sensor OFF / ON bar into a simple 0/1 line chart? As it might be easier to see when a state changes over longer time periods. And can you combine this then with other graphs as well?

[mystic kite]

does anyone know an addon or something to use as a Card for visual scheduler on dashboard?
Like a 24h box row wher u can tick hours of "enabled" state for whatever should be turned on during those hours?

probably needs some integration..

[dark dirge]

this is quite a bit fancier: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/scheduler-card-custom-component/217458

[mystic kite]

saw that, too complex, simple grid, click boxes on and off

is what i would like to put together 🙂

so ppl can look at lets say energy prices and decide what hours should heater or thing be running

cant be automatic due to ppl planning to use things differently

i guess i could make a button row actually and slam it into a stack..

[blazing wren]

There is a schedule addon I think

https://github.com/arthurdent75/SimpleScheduler

[dark dirge]

Separate UI, though

[blazing wren]

True. Might be good inspiration nonetheless

[mystic kite]

already slapped together button horde 😄

[mystic kite]

but thank you, that looks like something visually easier maybe

[blazing wren]

What's behind that? I'm curious 😄

[mystic kite]

the buttons? nothing atm, thinking about water heaters n such, as they are issue for parents

[blazing wren]

As in, are those toggling booleans, updating an MQTT sensor..?

[mystic kite]

well, atm they are blank, but thinking is to put my zigbee relay there and toggle it's enabled state hourly

[blazing wren]

Ahh, gotcha. I'm curious as to how you'll store the data. That's often my thought when looking at things like that—how do I store the data, and then utilise it in a way I can't accidentally break it

[mystic kite]

as above it there's prices graph for them to decide upon, for their showering and other needs

[blazing wren]

But what stores that the "5pm" button is on or off is my question. A huge number of input_booleans seems unwieldy. But no solution springs to mind as graceful/elegant/easy to program

[mystic kite]

your thought process is further along than mine, i was attacking the convenience on front end first 😄

[halcyon mantle]

Is it possible to change a state-icon color when it is unavailable on a picture-elements card? I believe the paper-item-icon-color is only applicable when the entity is available.

[blazing wren]

Curse and blessing of being a developer. I usually think in terms of data structure and service calls before I think of the UI

[mystic kite]

this time accessibility was more important, as i know the backend can be figured out somehow anyway, atm im going with booleans in a row and good people in template and stuff helped me on track with that, will see if i can put it together now.

[blazing wren]

Good luck! I hope it works for you and for your parents.

[mystic kite]

probably should post it up for others when complete. Good to have easy access control for energy usage.

[blazing wren]

Yes. There's a share your projects section of the forum which would be a great place to showcase it!

[mystic kite]

darn, card severities dont always accept # colors huh..

nvm, they work, need to be in ticks '#b5f5c6'

[carmine fern]

Can someone point me in the direction of how I can force a popup to confirm a service call when it's called? I want a button on my dashboard to call a service but I want it to confirm first in case I accidentally click it.

[blazing wren]

You could always remove the default action, and make it a hold action. So you have to tap and hold it to do the thing—that's what I have in a number of places.

[past folio]

heya - I want to super-customize my dashboards and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that.
Specifically (if anyone cares) I want to make an LCARS dashboard.
I have found some great resources on how to build an LCARS website but it seems like this will be a royal pain to do within HA/Lovelace - HOWEVER - I think I can pull the dashboard in as an iframe.
I was wondering if there's a way to directly address the URL of it (i.e. the casting URL) to pull in rather than the whole frontend UI.

my google search skills are failing me in figuring out what to search for to find this.

[blazing wren]

You can indeed: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/panel_iframe/

It might not be as much work as you think to make a custom front-end theme.

[past folio]

okay - so, that looks like a way to pull external URLs into a lovelace-style dashboard.

I want to wrap a lovelace-style dashboard in something else.

and....well...here
https://www.thelcars.com/
I want to do this 🙂

Still, that's likely to be very useful, so thank you for that link

[mild gate]

an LCARS display would be cool!

I built a dashboard based on Dakboard - the only thing I haven't solved for is a rotating background image pulled from iCloud favorites or Flickr ... feels like something I might have to write some python code for myself. But now I might have to play with an LCARS template too 🙂

[past folio]

I tried pulling in the CSS directly, but it would require a LOT more understanding of CSS than I have these days.

in theory it shouldn't be difficult - you can plug things into the "wrapper" html for different views, and then use button cards or mushroom cards with some simple styling to make the buttons.

[blazing wren]

These might be helpful:

• https://github.com/home-assistant-community-themes/nord/blob/master/themes/nord.yaml
• https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom-themes/blob/main/themes/mushroom.yaml
  And many more themes: https://github.com/home-assistant-community-themes
  Plus a template repo: https://github.com/home-assistant-community-themes/template

But it seems like you need to convert the CSS definitions to YAML, which is definitely doable

Alright, I tweeted at the creator of that side asking if the sourcecode is available on GitHub. If so, I could fork it and write a script that takes the unminified CSS and turns it into YAML. It won't be perfect, but it could be a good start 😄

[mild gate]

I am trying to make some cards smaller with ha-card and it doesnt seem to have an effect

this changes the background but doesnt reduce the card size
style: .: | ha-card { background: rgba(50,50,50,0.6); box-shadow: none; height: 25%; }

[past folio]

if it comes to that, well - https://github.com/joernweissenborn/lcars

[blazing wren]

That's not been updated in 2 year. I'd prefer Trekkie Joe's version to be honest 🙂

[little badger]

Is there a card that will do this?

1. Shows the state of an entity attribute and applies the state color to the status icon based on that attribute.
2. Run a service when clicked.
3. Generate entries via auto-entities or filter (etc) for a set of switches added by an integration.

What I'm trying to do is collect up all entities provided by an integration, which I can do with auto-entities, but those entities are switches and I really want the toggle button to change the state of an attribute of the switch, not the switch itself. The integration provides a service for changing that attribute. I've taken a bunch of approaches from scripts, to trying to templatize a service call in the card, to just dealing with it by triggering events tied the switch itself. Specifically, I want to add something to the dashboard to disable (reset) manual control in the Adaptive Lighting integration.

[grand harbor]

I've setup the ring integration. Is there a way to have a card show the livestream of the cameras?

[blazing wren]

There's a picture card that works:

type: picture-entity
entity: camera.front_door

It's not really a live stream, but it does update with snapshots

[halcyon mantle]

Is it possible to add a confirmation message to input_select? I cant seems to find reference in the documentation on it

For example - Should an input_select be used to change the state of the alarm, it will warn/confirm before doing it.

I know it can be done with the restrictions card, but would like to use native mechanisms if possible

[blazing wren]

I have one thing which is similar, and I defined a button for each state, hide the one the state is in, and only use the tap and hold action to trigger the action

So I combine native cards:

• Stack or grid card, whichever looks nice
• Conditional card, state is not the state which the button triggers it to
• Button card, default action: none.

[halcyon mantle]

Hmm... That might actually work - Cool idea! Thx - I'll play around with it a bit.

[blazing wren]

Technically you can skip the conditional card layer

Another option is a template card + a button card, where the template card shows your current state and the button advances the select to the "next" option. But that may not be what you want

[halcyon mantle]

The conditional card is actually exactly what I am aiming at 🙂 I believe it will work perfectly once I figure it out....

[blazing wren]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/conditional/
This may help 🙂

Something that might be useful:
I often define the contents of a conditional card first. Then I copy the YAML and paste it into a conditional card when I know what conditions I need

[halcyon mantle]

Haven't used the button card / grid so reading up on those now. I use the conditional cards quite extensively to keep things neat...

[blazing wren]

Yes, hiding irrelevant data is a good trick

[halcyon mantle]

My newest favourite is nesting a fold-entity-row in a conditional card....

[blazing wren]

Thomas Loven has made a lot of great custom cards

[halcyon mantle]

I absolutely love his creations and use them extensively - Without them my instance would not have been half as user-friendly as it currently is.

[blazing wren]

I just went searching in the community forums: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/skin-lcars-star-trek-beta/31386

[grand harbor]

Yeah, I have that, but one of my battery powered cameras doesn't update that frequently, so I end up looking at morning snapshots at night. That's why I was looking for livestreams

[blazing wren]

Battery cameras don't really do live streams

It's intended to work for a short period of time and then stop to preserve battery power

[grand harbor]

True, was more like looking it as, if I open the dashboard, it opens the live stream

I guess cards are always loaded then?

So having one would mean 24/7 livestream?

Otherwise i should probably see if I can force snapshot every x minutes in ha?

[blazing wren]

That I'm not sure about. Though I'm pretty certain if it's a in a tab on the dashboard you're on that it would be loaded

[grand harbor]

Yeah, I have a separate tab just for cameras

But if there isn't anything beside the picture entity, I guess nothing much I can doo

[blazing wren]

It might be worth moving those to another dashboard

There may be something else, I'm not sure 🙂

[grand harbor]

Easy enough

[blazing wren]

Aha, I just found this:

type: picture-elements
image: camera.bedroom
camera_image: camera.bedroom
camera_view: live

[grand harbor]

Will try that

[blazing wren]

Granted this is the roscom integration, but the example card looks like what you need 😄
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/foscam/#example-card-with-controls

[little badger]

The gist of the two projects I use for Ring devices is that you shouldn't try to live stream Ring. I wouldn't be surprised if Ring has API limits and/or monitoring and then there are tidbits like this (from Ring MQTT docs):

Attempting to leverage this project for continuous streaming is not a supported use case and attempts to do so will almost certainly end in disappointment, <snip...> most notably loss of motion/ding events while streaming (Ring cameras only send alerts when they are not actively streaming/recording).

[grand harbor]

Didn't read that part, just in the name it says that supports it. Also, I've set up one, and it won't actually stream, but replay the latest recorded event. I'll just stick with the ring app

[little badger]

I just played with the updated version of the Ring MQTT and, after defining the generic camera based on the documentation, live streaming using a normal picture entity card is working well and is starting the stream. It uses RTSP service and seems to only initiate the stream once you click the card (e.g., it isn't pre-rolling IIUC the camera parlance correctly). I checked this by idling on the interacting with the dashboard but not clicking the cam in question. When I went into the Ring app on my phone, no live stream bookmark was present meaning it wasn't being streamed in the background. However, if you happen to leave the card open it will keep fetching more video content to feed the client so you would likely run into similar issues regarding detection events etc.

[grand harbor]

That's a lot to process, going to go through it tomorrow

[still moth]

I've asked about this before but going to ask again to see if anyone has run into the same issue.. I'm using some trickery under the hood (an automation) to get my heater to use an external temperature sensor as the current temp. I'm wondering if there's some way for me to make this happen without a custom automation – I'd really like to use a climate card to control the heater without having to spend hours getting a custom template card to match... any thoughts? 🤔

is the answer to just use a thermostat that supports remote sensors natively? lol

[blazing wren]

Generic thermostat?

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic_thermostat/

[past folio]

interesting. I'll give that a shot

[still moth]

I don't think that works when you have an actual thermostat – like you need something binary to tolggle on/off

[blazing wren]

I suppose it rather depends on how you think of it. There's nothing stopping you calling a script though a template switch or similar. And that script could do anything.

[past folio]

that is....a thing. it's much farther than I've gotten before but it's still going to need a lot of work.
Is appdaemon/hadashboard a going concern/live project that's worth putting effort into?

[still moth]

hmm that's true, I guess I could setup a binary switch and just listen for changes on that swtich to do stuff

idk, sounds a little complicated.. if I can't snag an ecobee w/ remote sensor on ebay maybe i'll give it a shot. thanks for the idea!

[fading reef]

I am new to customizing frontend (very basic till now) but want to make it useful

I know it depends upon users usage, but anyone has a good regular use default frontend (functionality not just looks) to start with? Any git or tube or article link?

Also does the default app (other than and web (browser)) only way to view/control frontend? The app is sometimes clunky and slow for me. Any other options?

[fading silo]

Not sure this is the right area, but I'm having issues passing a numeric value to a script from an entities card. Executing this code results in an error message "expected float for dictionary value @ data['duration']. Here's the card code type: entities
entities:

• entity: input_boolean.irrigation_back_rear
  icon: mdi:sprinkler-variant
  hold_action:
  action: call-service
  service: script.run_irrigation_zone
  data:
  zone: switch.sprinkler_back_rear
  length: input_number.duration_back_rear

[sullen wyvern]

Hi all, is anyone here able to tell me how and were is stored user config of each card?

[timid beacon]

Can I make Hass companion device trackers update when someone uses the app?

Like when someone in the family opens the Hass Map view all the device trackers update.

And then they continue to update every couple seconds while the user stays

[halcyon mantle]

I have added a input_datetime entity to a card to be able to adjust it from the frontend, but it is a PITA to adjust the time, especially when trying to enter double digits in the time fields (minute & hour). Did I miss something, cause I cant think that is how it should be...

[past folio]

I have unminified the css.

[slender nexus]

Is there a way to tell a graph not to record data between 16:30 and 9:30? Most stock market are closed between those times and graphs get a steady value for many hours.

[blazing wren]

So have I. But I've barely started the script to adapt it.

[polar radish]

Are you using a custom:time-picker-card in your UI ? It is pretty darn easy to enter time with that card - it gives you the hours and minutes and you can increment or decrement either hours or minutes by clicking on the up or down icon above or below the hours or the minutes. You can specify the step size so in my case I step the minutes in 5 minute increments for example.

[halcyon mantle]

currently I have the input_datetime on an entities card, my google searches have brought me across custom:time-picker-card, and it is awesome should you require just time, but unfortunately I need both date & time in this instance.

[polar radish]

I have run across other card(s) that have a combination of a calendar (where you click on a date in the calendar) and a time picker (it's been a while so I am not sure of the details). Maybe do a web search .... sorry I can't help more.

[halcyon mantle]

I have been searching in the web for a while now, but this has given me hope that what I am after exists or can be done. Thank you!

[polar radish]

A quick search came up with this: https://github.com/totaldebug/atomic-calendar-revive

Apparently it builds on Google calendar so that needs to be installed in HA ... not my cup of tea but maybe it works for you

Also see https://community.home-assistant.io/t/simple-lovelace-date-card/412685

[past folio]

LOL - heck, you're way beyond what I've done. really appreciate that you're still poking at it!

[polar radish]

Here is another take on this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/add-a-simple-digital-clock-and-date-panel-to-home-tab/113790

[halcyon mantle]

Thx - Perhaps I should explain what I'm trying to do. I have an automation with a trigger of input_datetime. This automation fires a notfication as specified. So on the frontend I want to display the ability to choose the date & time for the notification and type the text. This is what I have so far https://imgur.com/a/XUp2onD

[polar radish]

I fail to understand why the time picker card was not built with the option of also adding a date picker section. Seems to me that this would be a logical way of going especially since the groundwork has been done already. Just have radio buttons for date and time and based on which are selected, you see input fields for dat or time or both. Anyway, I feel your frustration .....

[lucid pumice]

Looking for a way to show a simple number value in lovelace, any pointers?

[polar radish]

entity card ?

[dark dirge]

markdown card?

[polar kelp]

Entities card?

[lucid pumice]

Entities generates a list of things with icons, names and values, so no.

looking for something along these lines https://community-assets.home-assistant.io/original/3X/4/9/497770986fc57856f5d799a4929ff197539673a3.png

[halcyon mantle]

With something like fold-entity-row, when nesting them. is it possible to force each subset to still make use of the whole card width and not indent?

[polar kelp]

That's probably a markdown card.

[polar kelp]

padding: 0

[timid beacon]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there a good workaround for using slider-button-card on mobile?

[halcyon mantle]

Thank you!

[timid beacon]

Since when you swipe, if your finger touches the slider it will start adjusting the entity rather than scrolling

[halcyon mantle]

From the documentation I understand that if active: is defined the icon will change color based on state. This renders correctly in developer tools, but the icon does not change color. Not a train smash, but would be nice...```

• type: custom:template-entity-row
  icon: mdi:date
  name: "You will be notified when you "
  state: "{% if is_state('input_boolean.reminder_service_me_zone', 'on')%} Active {% else %} Disabled {% endif %}"
  secondary: "{{ states('input_select.reminder_service_me_zone_event') | lower }} at {{ states('input_select.reminder_service_me_zone') }}."
  active: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.reminder_service_me_zone', 'on') }}"

[polar kelp]

Seems to me that should work. But I haven't looked at template-entity-row for a while, so there are probably some changes in the frontend that could affect it.
I'll take a look at it when I'm back from my vacation trip.

[halcyon mantle]

Thank you! I really appreciate it - enjoy your vacation!

I changed the icon to mdi:calendar-text and it seems to work now... 🤷‍♂️

[teal perch]

i can t use hacs if i have haos 2022.8?

[dark dirge]

That is not correct

[teal perch]

how

[dark dirge]

install via the instructions

I'm not sure what your question is

[kind shell]

Home Assistant Community Store is the successor to the old Custom Updater, and can do so much more - you should check it out. They even have a Discord server for issues with HACS itself.

Command '~hacs' was invoked by: RobC

[dark dirge]

it's unrelated to #frontend-archived . It's an #integrations-archived

[teal perch]

oh,sry

[severe isle]

hello, how can I change the first day of the week in the calendar?

[heavy warren]

https://dpaste.org/0KdZh can I not nest if statements in markdown cards?

[azure canopy]

You are closing the nested if at the wrong place

[heavy warren]

I am?

[azure canopy]

{% if states('sensor.openweathermap_weather') == "overcast clouds" %}
  {% if states('sensor.openweathermap_forecast_condition') == "rainy" %}
    {% set weather = "it is a dreary" + day %}
  {% endif %}
{% else %}
  {% set weather = "it is a cloudy" + day %}
{% endif %}

this will work

assuming you defined day somewhere

[heavy warren]

oh ok 🤔

[azure canopy]

btw, I don't think the state will ever be overcast clouds

check for the right state in > states, and test your templates in > templates

[heavy warren]

It is I tested the state already

its overcast cloudy right now

[azure canopy]

i fixed another issue with your parenthesis

oh wait, it's not the weather entity

my bad

you should also stick to one type of quote in your templates

either single quotes or double quotes

[heavy warren]

haha it switched from overcast clouds to broken clouds when I fixed it and I thought it wasn't working for a split moment

[azure canopy]

and you could also use is_state(entity, state) instead of states(entity) == state

[heavy warren]

I should just use condition not weather

🤔 I will give it a shot

Oh nice, that will look a lot neater thanks

opinion needed, does "Hello Ren, it is a dreary summer Friday morning." sound wrong to you??

"Hello Ren, it's a dreary summer morning on a Friday." 🤔 where are the grammar police when you need them?

[halcyon mantle]

Is it possible for the browser_mod popup to auto scale. E.g. Lets say I have a custom-fold-entity-row in there and I expand it that it will adapt to the new size to display everything.```
tap_action:

browser_mod:
command: popup

[fair quest]

Is it possible to rename the "Overview" Dashboard? It doesn't give you any options to edit it in the same way that a user-created Dashboard does.

[maiden iris]

Not natively afaik. I think there are custom components that allow you to do that

[halcyon mantle]

Can you link to a specific card on a view? for example '/lovelace/kitchen' will take you to that view, but can it navigate to a fold-entity-row and expand it?

[foggy viper]

Repairs is awesome! It would be nice though if it remembers my check option to show ignored repairs. It seems to forget on every restart.

[heavy warren]

does anyone use the slider button card?

[carmine fern]

Is there a way to make the lovelace background cycle through a folder of images on every reload? I've already got a single custom background setup but I'd like to be able to have it cycle through my favourites on reload?

Or even on a schedule eg daily.

[thorn ridge]

Hi guys,

I find myself in trouble loading an image on a card, very noob question if i upload the image to the 'local' folder, where exactly is this, is it the parent dir of HA?

url('/local/lounge.jpg')

[carmine fern]

In the same directory you have your configuration.yaml you need to create a folder called "www" without the quotes. This is then mapped as the /local/ directory.

[thorn ridge]

THANKS!

gonna try it right away

[carmine fern]

np. Good luck

[thorn ridge]

Bro i got it!

[carmine fern]

Good stuff man. Enjoy!

[left sentinel]

If I want a dashboard where the top card is the full width of the screen and then below that is a standard masonry layout, is that possible in the default dashboard UI?

[fiery ledge]

asking is answering: you need custom:layout-card for that and use the grid option https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card#grid-layout

[heavy warren]

Is there some way to make it so that I can use user as a condition for the conditional card?

I think I figured it out

I can make a user sensor

[dark dirge]

I doubt that will work. The backend has no idea who's logged in

[heavy warren]

Mmm

[dark dirge]

Look at the state-switch custom card

[heavy warren]

so if its not an integration then I probably can't make it work

oh ok I will look into that

[dark dirge]

I do exactly that

[warped cloak]

Is there anyway (possibly with browser_mod or something?) to use a referential variable in an include? IE: If I'm on dashboard "upstairs" then I can do something like ! include /lovelace/{this.dashboard.name}/navigation.yaml

[heavy warren]

do I still need to do `resources:

• url: /local/state-switch.js
  type: module` in my configuration.yaml? cuz thats producing an error

[dark dirge]

Only if you're managing Lovelace in YAML mode

[heavy warren]

oh ok cool but the card isn't showing up even after a restart so 🤔

oh wait nvm im an idiot lol

ya no its not showing

[dark dirge]

it's pretty straightforward

          - type: custom:state-switch
            entity: user
            default: Desktop
            states:
              Rob:

[sly pulsar]

Why is card3 always showing?

        entity: template
        template: >
          {% if (states('sensor.andys_ipad_pro_battery_level') <= '10') %}
            card1
          {% elif (states('sensor.ipad_lies_battery_level') <= '10') %}
            card2
          {% else %}
            card3
          {% endif %}```

[heavy warren]

yea when I tried that is said custom:state-switch not found

[dark dirge]

then you either didn't properly specify the resource in the right place or you need to clear you browser cache

[dark dirge]

because states are strings

and you're comparing strings

[sly pulsar]

Any change you can show me the correct syntax? 🙂

[dark dirge]

          {% if (states('sensor.andys_ipad_pro_battery_level')|float <= 10) %}
            card1
          {% elif (states('sensor.ipad_lies_battery_level')|float <= 10) %}
            card2
          {% else %}
            card3
          {% endif %}

I'm not sure what you're doing there, though. It's curious logic

[sly pulsar]

Well i have two person cards in a horizontal-stack and want to change the person card for that person to another card (battery level...) if the state of iPad battery is equal or below 10%.

[dark dirge]

ok, I wouldn't expect that to be in an if/elif construct, but rather two separate state-switch cards

in any case, if it works for you...

[sly pulsar]

Mmm that will also be a good solution.

[tired harness]

hey there! 🙂
I would like to put some action (esphome buttons, that calls an esphome script) on the ui, but I would like to put it behind a confirmation? (like are you sure you want to do that? yes / no) cause those action can do a little damage if not called on the right time.

[dark dirge]

a button card with a confirmation in the action?

[heavy warren]

Would the button-card mod or the honeycomb menu do that?

Or some kind of menu mod? I know I can setup something similar to that on mushroom cards

[heavy warren]

Yea look at button-card, its under frontend on hacs it actually has a confirmation option built in

[polar radish]

I have created a helper entity that is of type 'text'. I can display that entity on the dashboard but how do I let the user enter text into that entity?

I found it thanks!:)

[placid shell]

Does anyone know how to make the sidebar selections persistent? I keep removing Energy and Media, but every time I clear my browser's cache they come back again. I have no need for these items in my sidebar and are just clutter.

Almost every other setting in HASS is persistent, but for some reason this one configuration change is stored in the browser cache.

[placid shell]

I think I figured it out. I have to disable 'default_config' and individually list out all the "default" integrations in my configuration.yaml file. It would be nice if there was a way to keep default_config, but be able to override which items are visible in the dashboard settings.

I used layout-card to achieve that! You can find it on hacs frontend

Or GitHub if you don’t use hacs

Hi, I'm just starting to play properly with themes, and I can't even change the border rad of a custom card 🤦🏻‍♂️
I have ha-card-border-radius: 10px in my theme, but it doesn't apply to custom cards. What am I missing

[sterile violet]

How do I make the entities display without the full name for example… The title of the card is “Sonoff S31 Test” and the entities are “Sonoff S31 Test Relay” “Sonoff S31 Test Current” “Sonoff S31 Test Power” etc. I want them to display on the card just as Relay, Current, Power without changing their actual names everywhere. I see this behavior occasionally I believe it’s when the room name matches the name of the entity beginning. I haven’t really found something that says exactly when or why this happens or if I can somehow force it to happen based off the title of the card so that the entities of self or shorter.

through yaml?

[dark dirge]

That or UI

Light groups are just lights

[tawny magnet]

got it. used to grouping w/ zigbee and zwave. saw i can do it through helpers

[tawny magnet]

seems like default for most lovelace cards is toggle; how can i get them to just turn off?

[dark dirge]

Call the light.turn_off service

There are lots of actions

[tawny magnet]

thank you

Reiterating previous message as got no feedback. Hopefully someone sees this that can help!

How do I make the entities display without the full name for example… The title of the card is “Sonoff S31 Test” and the entities are “Sonoff S31 Test Relay” “Sonoff S31 Test Current” “Sonoff S31 Test Power” etc. I want them to display on the card just as Relay, Current, Power without changing their actual names everywhere. I see this behavior occasionally I believe it’s when the room name matches the name of the entity beginning. I haven’t really found something that says exactly when or why this happens or if I can somehow force it to happen based off the title of the card so that the entities of self or shorter.

[faint vortex]

Hey, in order to choose a different default view for a device would I need to make a new user, set up a new dashboard and set that as the default dashboard, or is there a way to set a specific view as default on a specific device?

E.g I have living-room1 which is a panel that doesn't display properly on a phone, but does on a tablet, and I have living-room which displays properly on a phone but not on the tablet.

I have 3 wall-mounted tablets that each have their own view they're supposed to stay on

Nevermind, I am a complete idiot, the default dashboard in the account settings is per device, so I just need to make a new dashboard with the view i want for each device

The only one that I know is by using the 'markdown' card which allows to to put just about anything.

Hi... tried to integrate my dahua camers in home assistant . but when i try to add in dashboard and view from android ha app it starts to jump/ficker . but if i click on that it opens the video playback and works fines. only in dashboard view it flickers any way to fix this. but works fine in edge windows.

[jaunty notch]

I don't understand why?
Maybe what im trying to do here is not supported? I'm trying to add the web UI of frigate as a dashboard so that everything is in one place
Url path needs to contain a hyphen (-). Got {'show_in_sidebar': False, 'icon': 'mdi:cctv', 'title': 'Frigate-NVR', 'require_admin': True, 'mode': 'storage', 'url_path': 'http://my_ip:5000'}

[sterile violet]

Is there anywhere documented that says when that action takes place? Because I’m pretty sure it’s when the room name matches the exact beginning of the entity. That seems to be when the name automatically shortened, but I can’t say that happens every time. It seems temperamental or there’s something else that I’m missing that causes it.

[karmic tendon]

No clue what you mean 'that action', how would HA know from a couple of strings to what it should shorten to? Anyhow, this is what I know...markdown... and if that does not fit then maybe someone else will have an idea?

[sterile violet]

First off, thanks for your efforts and trying to answer my questions. “That action” meant when the name is automatically shortened in the cards display because it matches the same name as the card or I believe more accurately matches the room name, then name is then shortened. In the two screenshots you can see the ones labeled simply “Sink” and the actual name when you click on it is “Kitchen Sink”. However because the room name kitchen is in the name of kitchen sink, it only displays sink. That was the behavior I’m trying to figure more out about. I thought maybe it was just whatever the title of the card is, but I tried that with a different test and the names were not shortened. It seems like it may only work if it’s a room name that matches the entity name.

Is there a way to tell a graph not to record data between 16:30 and 9:30? Most stock market are closed between those times and graphs get a steady value for many hours.

[karmic tendon]

Not-to-record, no...as this is done via the sensor but you may try to limit displaying it. Apexcharts has options, else you may create a sensor that bases on the main one and sets 0 between 16:30 / 09:30 ?

https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card#span-options

[slender nexus]

Hello @karmic tendon, Apex limiting display might be interesting but I'm not familiar with Apex graphs... Creating a sensor based on the main one and sets 0 between 16:30 / 09:30, that might be interesting... I'll look with the #template crew

[karmic tendon]

Apexcharts is really powerfull, I use either that or Ploty (but more iffy). The template sensor just requires a if / then statement but I will let you figure it out 🙂

I’ve been trying to add style to my badges using card mod but it only seems to work in theme and not directly in the dashboard yaml

[low osprey]

hi, every... have anybody in lovelance make change icon based on attributes?

[fiery ledge]

can this be done? en/dis-able card-mod-theme with a toggle in the frontend? https://community.home-assistant.io/t/card-mod-super-charge-your-themes/212176/1143

[low osprey]

i use custom:button-card
type: custom:button-card
name: '''Sources'''
icon: >-
${ if (state_attr('media_player.lg', 'source') == 'Satelit') ? 'mdi:curtains'
: 'mdi:curtains-closed' }

[fiery ledge]

why did you tag me on my own question? my post was no answer to yours 😉

on your template: you are mixing HA Jinja style templates with Button-card Javascript templates

[low osprey]

sorry, I thought it was for me, the content was similar to my problem.

[fiery ledge]

try [[[ return (states['media_player.lg'].attributes.source === 'Satelit') ? 'mdi:curtains' : 'mdi:curtains-closed'; ]]]

[low osprey]

eureka, thank you, I've been struggling with the conditions and java and template for two days now

[fiery ledge]

the above (so called 'ternary' format) can also be written as a plain if/then/else: [[[ if (states['media_player.lg'].attributes.source === 'Satelit') return 'mdi:curtains'; return 'mdi:curtains-closed'; ]]]

[low osprey]

thank you very much, everything works

[simple grotto]

how can I make my card take away the "bedroom" part for my entities like it does with the light Entities?

You can use the custom:card-templater (hacs)

hi, someone using layout-card in grid mode?

I cannot find out how to configure it at all, where is the config stored ,where should I place YAML code to create layout. Documentation lacks this information...

[simple grotto]

wheres that?

it seems like something that should just work like the lights entities

[karmic tendon]

it is a card, default in HA and allows to select entities based on conditions, i.e. if you would add a light it would auto-show in that card too (if proper conditions set)...so no more manual adding

[karmic tendon]

see above

[simple grotto]

thanks 🙂

[karmic tendon]

I was wrong...sorry ... it is via HACS tomasloven/autoentities https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

[polar kelp]

@simple grotto that’s an auto-generated card from the beginning, right? And then at some point you took controll and added more things?

The area names are removed only when fully auto, but when you take control they are locked and you need to make any adjustments manually - click the pencil next to the entity.

Is there any way to disable the orange badge on "Settings" that indicates the number of updates ready to install? I have an irresistible urge to do updates as soon as I see they are ready, which takes time. And sometimes the updates fail in a way that takes even more time to deal with. I would rather just have a habit of setting aside some time to update all my stuff every month or so, without the orange badge making me get all obsessive-compulsive.

[fair egret]

I should clarify that this is similar but different from just deciding to “skip” an update, which I know the UI supports.

On my dashboard i have a graph of an average temperature shown and it works great. When i click on it would expect to also see a graph with the date selection filters.

[devout charm]

any users of apex-charts here that can pinpoint where I'm going wrong?
https://hastebin.com/sufutubesi.yaml

The use of stacked: true is presenting overlapping and incorrect values on at least some of the entities.

As I can't post images here, see my post on the matter here:https://community.home-assistant.io/t/apexcharts-card-a-highly-customizable-graph-card/272877/1719 which includes screenshots.

Dashboards are so pretty, and lovelace is pretty easy to configue.
But one thing i never get the hang of is the order of things.
I have such a hard time getting everthing in the places where i want them (especially on desktop) some click and drag functionality would be wonderful

[fiery ledge]

not being a dev, I guess I'll start here, because Ive ran into a true UX issue, on integrations with many config_entries. In this case Powercalc, which has over a 100 entries in my setup. Before, in yaml, I just moved the package out of the folder, and reload HA, all Powercalc entities gone, ready to test. Now, we have to manually disable each and everyone of them. Which is really a nasty UX: please see: https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc/discussions/982#discussioncomment-3383103

somehow, I believe HA would do better if a global Integration option would be provided, a toggle of sorts, to en/disable an integration completely. Any of the devs hanging out here find that an option?

goes hand in hand with https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/discussions/13373 probably...

[inland swallow]

Hi all, I'm getting an 'Entity not Available: EMPTY' warning in my lovelace frontend for a button I just added.

I did not include an entity_id in the YAML config, because it's a script, rather than a switch and the HA documentation provides examples where the entity_id is not specified

[dark dirge]

So confused.

Just share your button card config

[inland swallow]

https://pastebin.com/yyBNhds2

I added line 9 just a moment ago, but it produces the same results

this is what it looks like in the frontend

[dark dirge]

That's a glance card, which takes entities

It looks like you're trying to embed other cards in there

What are you doing with 'type: button'?

[inland swallow]

ahhh, right.. yes, correct... I need to put those in horizontal stack instead I guess

[dark dirge]

Or a grid or layout card

Hi all. I need help with the Button-Card. I want to change the icon color if the state attribute equals a specific value.
Entity: climate.main
Attribute: fan_mode
State: low

[dark dirge]

The standard button card provides no way to do that

[eternal solar]

Thanks. I guess I'll need to find a custom button card

What if I just wanted to make icon a different color in the Button-Card?

[dark dirge]

you can only do what the docs say you can do. the icon color will automatically reflect the state of the entity with no customization offered

and you can do practically anything you want with the custom button card, so you should definitely investigate that if you want more flexibility

[abstract lintel]

Guys, my wall is crumbling down because of the imprint of my head 🤯 , This issue is driving me crazy since i checked all my codes 20 times and the issue remains. I'm working on Ha-Floorplan and currently just have a simple dashboard that loads a svg with png's and an empty css. Now the backgrounds of all my floorplans are completely filled in black when Hass.io reads them on the card. I have checked all my backgrounds and they are all set to none. removed any themes as well, but no luck. When i open the png file from my drive on HA it also shows no background. So something goes wrong when showing them on the card, but i have no clue what.

also something weird is that the paths i created in the svg are offset shown in HA. I checked for any transforms in the svg and there are none so i'm also confused with this. Does anyone ever had an similar issue and can possible help me with this? Don't want to post to much code/spam here before 😉

[abstract lintel]

Ok found the issue finally, It goes wrong when using the file editor addon to upload the PNG files, it seems to change the png background transparency to black. I used an USB to upload the png files and now it works.... Guess i'll report this as an issue since it can be an headbreaker 😄

I want 4 people in a grid card with 2 columns with the locations shown on all of them, not just the first two people.

[abstract lintel]

[compact pebble]

yes I think so

[abstract lintel]

I don't use grid much but I would assume you need to define the rows then? Else I would just use 2 horizontal-stack and you have achieved the same

[compact pebble]

Maybe its because its looking for not_home instead of away

[abstract lintel]

Ah I got your question wrong, you need to define variables and a tracker

I defined 2 zones per person and defined the tracker with phone entities

Ulm_adress

When I define this it still shows not_home. I think I will just replace these with mushroom person cards seeing that they are more or less the same, just slightly different icons

[dark dirge]

first, the state of an input_boolean is on or off, not "true"

second, you use == or === for equivalence

third, you need to return something

fourth, I don't think you can use a template to add a new key, but 🤷

I'm having a devil of a time getting the minimalist person-entity-card (https://github.com/gerardag/person-entity-card) to work via HACS installation. I'm getting the dreaded "custom element doesn't exist", despite having a pretty simple add of the resource. I've tried switch the type: module to type: js to no avail, cleared cache, reloaded the plugin, verified the source loads via the hacsfiles URL, and don't see anything obviously related to this in the browser console. Any thoughts on where else to look? Config block is: lovelace: resources: - url: /hacsfiles/person-entity-card/person-entity-card-bundle.js type: module

[dark dirge]

Are you using Lovelace in YAML mode?

[violet tinsel]

For this dashboard, yes.

Here's a somewhat expanded config. https://gist.github.com/davidski/7433c98ac281b481a515d4dda16deec0

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/dashboards/#adding-more-dashboards-with-yaml

Oh, so if the main dashboard is storage, use the GUI resource method?

[dark dirge]

Yes

[violet tinsel]

That's dismissed the error at least, though the cards still aren't displaying. I'm getting a bunch of "networkerror when attempt to fetch resource" for various *.js files under frontend_latest.

How do i set icon_color for on and off state?

[deep hedge]

Hey, I don't know if you got any help with this, but the following is what I do to make an icon blink on a particular state. It may help with the logic and syntax. It's not exactly the same, and it is on a Custom Button Card, which I use a LOT.

[steady sluice]

Is there a glance card, but you can click on the entities and it can trigger scenes/scripts?

[devout charm]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/map/
Using the map card, is it possible to display the direction of the entity on the map?
I have a location tracker for my car working fine and it also provides orientation, but can't see how to use that info for my view.

[quick depot]

Can i have vertical stack with different width buttons?

Why does the secondary labels not work?

[jovial flicker]

Anybody have a way to permanently list items in the sidebar in a particular order?

Like where they aren't changing position every time the browser history gets cleared etc?

I've asked this question before and never got an answer. The only way I've seen is building my own via hacs but there has to be a way to permanently position dashboards I just feel like I don't know what it is.

[jovial flicker]

Nevermind I just built my own sidebar and it works great and I even got to change that stupid home assistant title at the top.

[fair egret]

Thanks!! Might share this automation somewhere in hopes others want something similar

[jovial flicker]

This is mine you have to make an automation... it works for me like a champ my theme is the same across all devices.

[bold kestrel]

Does anyone use ui-minimalist here? I try to create a conditional card but my yaml does seem to work. Can anyone share a snippet perhaps?

[plucky mesa]

Hi, can someone point me in the right direction of where to look for the following? I've got a few buttons to make A/C control very easy. Each button just runs a script to set modes like on/off, eco/boost, swing on/off etc. How would I go about setting a state to these buttons? For example, the A/C and Swing buttons should light up when they are activated

[deep hedge]

I would be interested in knowing how you created your custom sidebar. The problem I find is that any changes you make to it using HA, like hiding Energy or Media Player, is saved in browser states and is reset every time I close/restart my browser since I don't let those lie around between sessions.

[jovial flicker]

Hacs custom sidebar

It’s permanent

That’s the config sorry I’m on my phone but it’s locked in that order permanently

You have to do it in the order they are listed in the regular sidebar though if you write log book in slot 5 or whatever and log book is at the end in the sidebar menu under normal circumstances it won’t work. But you can hide everything in the sidebar and make custom dashboard shortcuts or card shortcuts etc there’s a lot of options in the config.

Pretty sure I saw you could make your icons animated as well

And it’s device wide they are locked in that order across all the devices even on a browser with a private window which is what drove me to do this in the first place that was pissing me off having a different sidebar I have every time I open a new browser or cleared my history

[gusty nacelle]

Hello peeps. I have some issues showing custom cards with Home Assistant Cast on a Nest Hub. Cards are installed through HACS and are placed in /config/www/community. My HA instance is running behind a proxy (with SSL). Custom cards work fine on my external URL in both browser and companion app. HA version 2022.8.3. What could perhaps be the issue?

Native cards works fine

[fading reef]

I am new to HACS (go easy on me)
I installed this wallpanel hacs addon. https://github.com/j-a-n/lovelace-wallpanel

1. So for any frontend hacs addon, i would need to edit lovelace yaml file and refresh page, and thats the only way. Correct?
2. I just installed this addon band then edited yaml, but it does not show the wallpaper. Only the screensaver pops up. setting is "Enabled"

[fallen crown]

Is there any ui for mod browser?

How would I make browsermod open a generic camera in full screen and play using ui?

[polar kelp]

Custom cards often make use of built-in elements that may or may not be present in cast. It's a bit hit-or-miss if things work or not and it can be a pain to debug - assuming the developer even HAS a cast device to test it on.

[gusty nacelle]

I see. I guess I'll have to go deeper and debug to see where it breaks. Do you have a good known custom cards that works on a HA Cast?

[polar kelp]

I've just learned that if you open up google chrome and head to chrome://inspect/ you should see any attached cast devices there. From there you can access a browser console, and that may give you a hint.

[gusty nacelle]

Cool, I'll try to see if I can make it work. It appears that you need to have a specific logger embedded in the app running in order to inspect the console

[fallen crown]

In file editor

There is no Lovelace.yaml

Do I have to create it

I am trying to have a card using Minimalist UI with a browser mod popup on tap action? This (https://pastebin.com/rE0PjrPD) config isn't working.

If you're using Lovelace in YAML mode, the file would be ui-lovelace.yaml, and yes, you would need to create it

[fading reef]

File editor addon does not show .storage folder. Similar issue here

ty for ur help sir

[paper skiff]

Can a button have 2 actions? ie: a call service but also a toggle to know that it is "on, off"

[split granite]

Yes

[paper skiff]

lmao

thank you

[split granite]

Have it call a script

[paper skiff]

right now it is set to call a script

as a call service

but the button doesn't ever go into the state mode, although the service works flawlessly

[split granite]

Buttons themselves aren't toggles

If you want a toggle then you have to use something that is one

[paper skiff]

so if the tap action is set to call service it cannot also serve as a toggle?

I get that it is actualyl toggling

[split granite]

The button in the UI is never a toggle

The button is stateless

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/button

[paper skiff]

right right, the action is the toggle

[split granite]

(and other links)

If you want the UI to show on/off then use something that's on/off - like an input_boolean or a template switch

[paper skiff]

hmmmm okay i will read more and refrence thank you

because a TV scripted to be on and off cannot be an input_boolean?

[split granite]

It's just an entity

If you want it to be a media_player then it can't be an input_boolean

[paper skiff]

tbh I just am using it as an on/off switch

[split granite]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/universal/

That's another option

[paper skiff]

sweet, that looks like a new ave to search, will investigate, thank you

[split granite]

#integrations-archived can help you with that if you get stuck

[paper skiff]

awesome! cheers

[fallen crown]

Ok thanks

[violet talon]

Hi! I'm looking for a way to have the most simple single-button webpage for people to open a door lock on their phone. Can that be done, or should I look into a simple page that hooks into the API?

[quick depot]

ah, my bad it does work

seems like i was just drunk and was trying labels_secondary: true

hmm, it also requires labels_secondary: true

[sage helm]

to display always, yes. The labels_secondary default is hover

[violet talon]

"most simple" could be a custom page that calls the API.

or you can create a HA user and dashboard with just that single button

[vivid swift]

Just the REST API?

I'll try the custom dashboard first, sounds less error-prone.

[outer field]

Not sure which channel is the best to ask, but what's the currently recommended tablet for HA? I see Amazon has restricted their Fire tablets with software update so they are probably not the best option?

[violet talon]

they're probably still fine. I think the restrictions are around disabling the lock screen ads without paying the $10, switching your launcher, and disabling auto-updates

[outer field]

I want tablet to wake on motion and not see the lockscreen at all. Does it make any difference then if I go with a version with/without ads?

[violet talon]

wake on motion probably would still work. but when it goes to sleep you'd probably see lock-screen ads

I don't have a ton of experience with fully kiosk but I have an "up-to-date" HD 10 (previous gen) that I've run Fire Toolbox on, so that's where my caveats come from

[vivid swift]

@violet talon do you know off the top of your head how I can restrict a login to just one dashboard?

[quick depot]

Hmm. Can i have two lines with different color?

@sage helm

[violet talon]

use "Custom Header", restrict all other dashboards to admins

[vivid swift]

Ah, https://maykar.github.io/custom-header/ ?

[buoyant holly]

I have a question about the ram usage after an update, every time the core or supervisor has performed an update it increases to 4G and when I restart it (host restart) everything is back to normal (1.8G)

w/o restarting

https://github.com/NemesisRE/kiosk-mode looks good too

oh nice i need that

can i auto-enable i t?

for certain user?

[icy patrol]

Hello! Does anyone know if there is a way to add a lock or confirmation to a cover? I have a garage door cover and i want to add a lock in case i touch it by mistake

[vivid swift]

@quick depot kiosk mode? Apparently, but I can't find out how to restrict that user to only one dashboard

[tacit cave]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/actions/#tap-action

override the tap action and specify a confirmation message

[quick depot]

cant seem to fine nemesisRE via HACS

ehh, its nemesis not kiosk :)

[icy patrol]

@tacit cave thanks - i tested this on a switch but when i toggle the switch control, the light still turns on. Its only when i click on the switch name, i get the confirmation

  - entity: switch.office_light
    icon: mdi:lightbulb-on
    tap_action:
      action: none
      confirmation:
        text: Are you sure you want to do this?

[dark dirge]

you can use a button card if you don't want the switch widget

[vivid swift]

Ok, I can't figure out where to configure that kiosk mode :/

[dark dirge]

it looks like you add the configuration mentioned in the docs in the YAML config of your dashboard:

[vivid swift]

Ah!

Yeah, and I can do that in the dashboard I've created. Excellent.

Hmm, but it will still load the 'overview' dashboard by default.

And I can't seem to make that one admin-only, and even that wouldn't be a perfect solution

[tacit cave]

you need to keep the action as toggle

not none

as for the toggle itself, that might be the behavior. Then you'd switch to the button like rob said

[icy patrol]

if i click on the toggle, it will still turn it on without a confirmation

only if i click on office light text; thats when i get the confirmation text

[tacit cave]

see my last response

[quick depot]

https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card#horizontally-stacked-cards can i somehow make these taller?

[violet talon]

anyone have a favorite card for daily to-do's/reminders?

shopping list? check button card?

[icy patrol]

wondering if there is an option to even hide cover if an input_bol is turned on and when i turn that off, it will show the cover

[quick depot]

damn buggy y_axis data :p

I wonder if i can move it to the right side

[tacit cave]

I suggest you checkout the dashboard documentation, that also can be done with either conditional cards or conditional rows

[icy patrol]

thank you

[idle copper]

Hi! I'm going crazy trying to find why the media control for the Samsung TV is missing the previous/next track buttons
I'm using the official samsungtv integration and everything works fine (issuing a service "next" or "previous" to the television entity works and changes channel) but the buttons are not visible on the dashboard. The features are supported (they work with commands) even by checking the entity status
(supported_features: 20413)
What could be the problem? screenshot is what i see, state is on

ok, found it https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/515
there's an open discussion about this

[ionic fractal]

Lovelace question:

Is there a reason you can’t make local variables in Lovelace it seem to me it will open for a way more dynamic dashboard as we already have [conditional] / conditions to use it with

Maybe I'm wrong about it, I’m not that strong in my Lovelace if so "sorry" in advance.

Was asked in #devs_frontend-archived but seems like I was to post it here.

Hey guys, having a weird bug that I hope someone can shed some light. When I'm Away my profile picture (the one that appears on the badge) turns to just a black image. This only happens on the android app though. Any ideas what's going on?

[sharp grotto]

Hello All , I am trying to use a button where the icon changes depending on two sensors. ex. entity.button_open_gate, state 1: gate opened(1st sensor), state 2(2nd Sensor): gate closed, state 3: not open neither closed .
What is the best way to do this ? I have been doing some resherche and trying custom button-card (but still did not mange to do it )
Thank you

[violet talon]

figure it out yet?

I'm now looking for a way to restrict a user to a specific dashboard too 🙃

[vivid swift]

Yes! Thank you. With kiosk mode, as afaict it's only css and the user could use the api to "escape" the restrictions. I've limited the user to a view since there's no way to set a default dashboard.

So default dashboard and only one view

[violet talon]

yeah I think that's fine.

dang though. I wish there were a way to set a default dashboard for a user

like kids get the "chores" dashboard and I get my "control all the things" dashboard

oh, maybe I can do some of that under the user's actual profile?

yeah that worked

https://imgur.com/a/ExxBjdi

that's good enough for me. I don't care if the kids can get to one of the other dashboards. I just want it so they mostly stay within their own

[ionic fractal]

local variables is meant as local with in the browser.
eks. you can make a menu by setting a variable true or false and then use conditional to show/hide a block of cards. (just an example it can be used for a lot more)

At the moment you can do the same with input_boolean but that isn't a local variable so if you do that it will be active for all browsers you have open.
as eks. here https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mushroom-cards-build-a-beautiful-dashboard-easily/388590/1762
where there is used "input_boolean.sarahs_printer_dropdown" it will be better to be able to make a local variable

Hope it makes sens.

P.S. When I look around on the forum it looks like something people need or at least make some fun solutions in an attempt to get around it

[polar kelp]

Google lovelace-state-switch

And look at the ”hash” section

[ionic fractal]

yeah okay it will give me one ID at the time / (variable), not totally what I was thinking off but it helps.
I feel like it goes under funny solutions in an attempt to get around it.

[vapid field]

Hello, i have a bunch of sonoff switches. They all display as a switch icon (lightning bolt). I managed to change all of them to a lightbulb instead without issues.

[delicate marsh]

Anyone know way to add title to the temperature chirps with mushroom cards? I have two temp sensors, and it's kinda hard to tell which one is which room.

YAML: https://pastebin.com/yyvq6pap

[proper zephyr]

you can't right now, you'd need to use a template chip for that. There's an open PR to add the option of Name + Content as the content but it isn't an option yet

[delicate marsh]

Any examples I can take a look at?

for the template I mean

[delicate marsh]

could you paste the yaml?

[proper zephyr]

type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
chips:
  - type: template
    entity: sensor.back_door_temperature
    content: 'Back Door: {{ states(''sensor.back_door_temperature'') }}'

[simple iron]

Came across some pretty sophisticated config the other day - What is this [[[ (triple bracket) syntax language?

[muted saddle]

how do i add tap action run a script in my glace card?

when i press the script added as an entity it gives me more info

[delicate marsh]

would something like work?

oh nvm it will just toggle the automation

[dark dirge]

Generally, Javascript as supported by some custom cards. That syntax looks like it's for the Custom Button Card

[delicate marsh]

New questions, I'm trying to create a counter for all lights that are on. This works otherwise, but it counts itself, so I added rejecttattr but it broke it completely.

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      count_lights_on:
        friendly_name: "# Lights on"
        unit_of_measurement: "on"
        value_template: >
          {{ states.light | rejectattr('entity_id','sensor.count_lights_on') | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') | list | count }}

[dark dirge]

this would be a #templates-archived

and you forgot the test. rejectattr('entity_id', 'eq', 'sensor.count_lights_on')

[simple iron]

That is correct, for the custom button card.

[dark dirge]

then the docs for that card explain it

[sharp grotto]

Does anyone have any idea ?

[oak solar]

Hi all, I'm creating a Mushroom template card with the following displaying a state

[dark dirge]

OMFG

@dark dirge Thank you and I definitely will

[vapid field]

Hello, I am having trouble how to create a button in lovelace which is dynamic (it displays current_temperature+2 and will call a service with that value as data when pressed)

[dark dirge]

you can make a template sensor with the derived value that you want, use that in your button card, and then call a service when the button is pressed via the tap_action

[vapid field]

so there would be no data passed, the script would just read that same template sensor?

[dark dirge]

you could do it either way

[vapid field]

oh ok, thank you for that

one more, if it weren't numbers but something like "on" "off" ?

[dark dirge]

how does that modify the problem? you clearly don't want "on" + 2, so it's just a simpler version

[vapid field]

sorry this is a separate button

[dark dirge]

it's the same thing

[vapid field]

you can have a string as a template sensor?

[dark dirge]

maybe you don't need the template sensor in that case, but it's hard to say without more details about what you're doing

of course

[vapid field]

oh okay then I see

[dark dirge]

anything as long as it's less than 255 characters

[vapid field]

got it, thank you!

[dark dirge]

but "on" and "off" would be best as a template binary_sensor

[vapid field]

yes

it's an MQTT sensor, the value is a floating point number

[upbeat geyser]

Hi there! Not sure where to ask this question, but entities, helpers, etc that I create through the visual editor... Where to they get stored? Anywhere in a file I can see what yaml the editor made out of it?

[dark dirge]

they're stored in the config/.storage directory, and are in JSON files not-to-be-touched

[upbeat geyser]

Ah, so it's a bit of a "if you did it with visual editor, keep it there" situation?

[dark dirge]

yes

[upbeat geyser]

Is that how HA parses the yaml files too, it makes JSON out of it?

[paper skiff]

Is there anyway to specifically access Amazon music through HA?

[icy patrol]

is there a command to run in order to reflow the lovelace page on demand?

[dark dirge]

YAML is a superset of JSON, and any valid JSON is also valid YAML. As far as I can tell, HA loads the YAML directly: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/yaml/loader.py

[paper skiff]

Is there any reason in particular that an entitiy that is there wouldn't get pulled by a card?

for some rason my spotify integration media_player.spotify_username doesn't want to populate in any card

but it shows that the entity is there

[polar kelp]

media_player entities should get their own card if you are in auto-generated mode.

To check if you are, click the three dots in the top right and choose Edit Dashboard. If you get a popup about "Take control of your dashboard" you are in auto mode (and should probably click Cancel.

[paper skiff]

right, when config a media card, the entity doesn't show available

[polar kelp]

If not you'll have to add any new entities yourself.

Then I don't know. Where do you see the entity?

[paper skiff]

when clicking on the spotify integration, 1 service, 1 entity

even when umder the entites tab, searching spotify provides the entity id: media_player.spotify_vanka472

so when placing the media_player under entities, it shows all others, but for some reason the spotify entity never shows as an option

so then when writing it in to push it through, it pulls an unknown and nothing shows

[polar kelp]

Does it work if you edit the card in the code editor? yaml type: media-control entity: media_player.spotify_vanga472

[paper skiff]

thats how I am trying to do it

in YAML

interestingly enough under the entities section the entity shows as "This entity is unavailable"

but it does show up under entities

I am trying to force turn enable from advanced

came disabled for some reason. Got it working now. Thanks for your help Thomas

[paper skiff]

we talked it out 😂

[polar kelp]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

[paper skiff]

this should be under the HA official docs

[polar kelp]

You make each user a separate dashboard and set that as the default on the device they use. That's pretty much the only option right now.

[paper skiff]

You can then also add in kiosk mode so that the only dashboard can only be viewed by the user you want

for example:
User A: Admin + all dashboards
User B: User + Dashboard A
User C: User + Dashboard A +C
etc.

even going as far as removing the buttons so that the sidebar and topbar are removed and unnaccesable

[paper skiff]

Is it possible to adjust the size of something like the media player?

Depends. It's hard to make things work consistently between new and old safari versions, and if the developer doesn't have an old device handy for testing...

Safari is the Internet Explorer of web browsers.

[fallen crown]

Ok

[polar kelp]

There's no inherent reason it shouln'd work in Safari, though. So you could open an issue on github for it.

[fallen crown]

It’s the same on old chrome. It says custom element doesn’t exist. But it does

[polar kelp]

What does your browser console say?

[fallen crown]

It’s on iPad

[polar kelp]

Chrome on ipad is safari.

[fallen crown]

Oh

So every browser on iOS is safari

[polar kelp]

Apple doesn't allow other engines, so all browser are just safari with a reskin.

[fallen crown]

Oh

What about android

Will all my custom cards display?

Surely I could install a android vm on iPad?

[polar kelp]

There's no way to tell.

Hi Everyone.... I have the LG WebOS channel Pad. Working well.... My TV doesnt have the WOL feature, so I cant turn it on.

So I have my IR remote switch it on via an extra button on my Homeassistant Dashboard. That same IR Remote controls the Volume up and down for my amp....

Question is, can I replace the LG WebOS channel pad power and volume buttons with the entities of the IR Remote

Apologies. Not the channel pad, The LG WebOS Remote Control..

Is there a way to have a tile with a drop down menu that let's me choose a variable value before submitting the variable to a script

What I'm trying to accomplish, is to run a custom command (defined in the script) on a different echo device, the variable would tell on which device to run it

[fallen crown]

Why does my code not work

It doesn’t take me to the url

https://dpaste.org/0au6W

[polar kelp]

Make an input_select and have the script read the valuefrom it https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_select/

[grand harbor]

Nice, let me try

[polar kelp]

Seems tap_action doesn't accept templates.

[grand harbor]

Are those editable as yaml once created from the gui? I can't seem being able to use some options like Name from the gui.

[fallen crown]

I mean it doesn’t go to the url which is in the sensor

It just adds state to the end of Lovelace url

[fallen crown]

It does

Is there a better way to inject some CSS in an element in a shadow root than document.querySelector('...').shadowRoot.querySelector('...').shadowRoot...?

[polar kelp]

Not unless it's a property that's defined by a variable

[earnest perch]

What do you mean? I'm trying to apply some fixes to hui-energy-period-selector

[rustic aurora]

The template appears to be invalid - you're missing the {{ and }} so it should be {{ states("sensor.news_image") }}

[fallen crown]

If I do that it gives me

At path: tap_action.url_path - Expected a string, but received: (object
Object

@rustic aurora

[fallen crown]

But the sensor contains the url which is a string

[rustic aurora]

Try

url_path: >- 
  {{ states("sensor.news_image") }}

[fallen crown]

That just takes me to

192.168.86.196:8123/lovelace-mushroom/%7B%7B%20states(%22sensor.news_image%22)%20%7D%7D

If I click on it

Hi, is there a way to trigger an automation with an event dispatch in the frontend (I mean in the code) ?

[polar kelp]

I still suspect tap_action doesn't support templates, looking at how it's obviously not evaluated when you click it and how the documentation for the card says it doesn't... https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/main/docs/cards/template.md

[polar kelp]

How do you mean?

[silver solar]

Has anyone here managed to use navigation on cast dashboards? I am casting a dashboard I built with UI-Minimalist to my Nest Hub - however navigation is not working. I can use button cards but not switch between different views. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

[fallen crown]

How would I make my google assistant say a message using browser mod when someone is at the door?

[polar kelp]

You don't need browser_mod for that. Just an automation triggered by your doorbell or motion sensor or something that sends a TTS message to your device.

[fallen crown]

Why doesn’t my automation make anything pop up?

https://dpaste.org/TzYQh

[fallen crown]

Ok

[polar kelp]

It's more_info not more.info and it requires an entity_id parameter.

 - command: more_info
   entity_id: camera.03cabcc9_ring_mqtt

This is not explained well in the readme. It'll be better in the soon-to-be-released v 2.0.

[fallen crown]

Ok

[fallen crown]

What new features will there be in v2?
