The UniFi Protect integration saves "detections" to a media folder. How can I get that inside a Dashboard?

Really looking for almost the exact thing in the screenshot, but just in a grid card inside a custom dashboard.

[wicked bone]

hi all, i have a device with a termostat that is 3 degrees off, id like to subtract 3 from the value before it's shown in the picture element card, yaml snippet as in now - entity: sensor.brandvarnare_vind_air_temperature style: left: 19% top: 39% type: state-label

how is that done?

      {{ states('sensor.brandvarnare_vind_air_temperature')| something something -3 }}````

?

[shut ingot]

I’ve configured generic thermostats presets and using a scheduler and automations to switch presets. However it always seem to display the target temperature and not the preset one, any idea if expected ?

Here I’d expect to see 18 under the real temperature. Otherwise it’s misleading

[karmic tendon]

state: >-
{{ states('sensor.brandvarnare_vind_air_temperature') | float -3 }}

If the difference depends on the temperature, i.e. -2 when 28 or -1 when 18 then you can use the 'compensation' integration

I would like to have my proxmox cpu temp, this is not a standard sensor. Ive googled it and the simplest solution ive found is:

http://pastie.org/p/21ZW2ViMgOSGVn9aAXyo4t

Here the guys SSH's the info. But I dont understand how to make it work. Anyone any idea that can point me in the right direction?

[eternal belfry]

Hi there
I have a quick Q
I've got some entities that are coming in to HA over MQTT. They've been automatically discovered
On the default "Overview" dashboard, they all seem to show up except for one. Any idea why that might be?

The entity does exist in HA, it's just not auto-populating in the default dashboard for some reason

[karmic tendon]

You put that piece of code in your configuration.yaml and reboot...then it will show up as a sensor with that name "temperature_cpu_nuc". I assume the command is correct of course (I have no lcue if it is)

sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    name: temperature_cpu_nuc
    command: 'ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -q root@10.10.40.6 cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone3/temp'
    value_template: "{{ value | int / 1000 }}"
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"

if you already have a section 'sensor:' defined then put it in the same section

[median lotus]

its that easy? lol. lemme try. thanks

[karmic tendon]

well... assuming the command is correct of course

I would try that out first

before restarting and fining out you have just errors and restarting and...

e.g. for me on an Intel nuc it is much simpler...

@-nuc:~$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +43.0°C  (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 1:       +43.0°C  (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 2:       +37.0°C  (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 3:       +38.0°C  (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)

acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1:        +47.0°C  (crit = +115.0°C)

iwlwifi_1-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +56.0°C

[median lotus]

yeah that was the command line for a nuc

nope doesnt work lol, i checked the directory and ip

[karmic tendon]

what HA do you run?

[median lotus]

updated to last one yday

[karmic tendon]

HAOS/docker?

[median lotus]

not docker, just VM

docker was slow

[karmic tendon]

ok, I donot know what happens when you run tis via command_line

do you have any errors?

[median lotus]

yeah, but not fatal

[karmic tendon]

can you simulate this command in the same VM instance?

[median lotus]

i already removed it, want me redo it for the error?

[karmic tendon]

from docker I can run inside the container so I can check if all works

[median lotus]

WDYM? the cat command in my proxmox?

[karmic tendon]

sometimes it lacks the right software

the whole command yes

in other words, I have no clue how this would work from withon a VM

I only know docker and plain OS

[median lotus]

lol

i see what i didt there, i dont have a thermal zone 3

lmao

one sex

[karmic tendon]

so there you go...if it does not work from within the VM then the sensor also has no result

[median lotus]

yup now it returns the value

lemme retry in HA 😄 XD

it boots

but no sensor

http://pastie.org/p/6POF3YiTEZpWc4Qm235BfI

i think my hyphens are wrong?

and doesnt it need an 'unique id '?

[karmic tendon]

I have one without quotes which works fine but the documentation shows double quotes

[median lotus]

wierd. where dont u have the quotes? nowhere?

[karmic tendon]

and you can invent a unique_id which will allow you to delete it

example:

  - platform: command_line
    name: shopping_list
    command: python3 /config/custom_components/custom_sensor/shopping_list_open_items.py

but doc examples uses double or single quotes.

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

[median lotus]

hmmm i understand

[karmic tendon]

I suggest to search a bit on the forum for this, it may be that executing it from HA adds some additional stuff...I would not know as no VM experience.

[median lotus]

allright, man thanks for the help 🙂

[karmic tendon]

I can see it is HAOS that you are running on VM so please also note the comment in the doc about that

and I found this

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-monitor-proxmox-cpu-temp/245050

but maybe you found that too

[median lotus]

hmm no, found another not working one 😄

thanks 😄

nope

http://pastie.org/p/51zyJGQtydbjXK2UXGHnCb

lol

[median lotus]

[platform] is an invalid option for [template]

ok

so this means... i cant have platform under template?

sheesh XD

now what haha

im very close i think lmao

[median lotus]

allright

it recogines the sensor

one step closer 😄

[karmic tendon]

It is either under sensor: or binary_sensor: ...also here the documentation is not clear....

I did give you my example above 🙂

anyhow.... is it working now?

that is MOST important

[median lotus]

not yet 😄

stuck at UNKNOWN atm hehe

[median lotus]

this also gives : unknown

even when i do run ssh command from HA or Proxmox it returns a value

ffs im so close i can smell it ;D

[wicked bone]

Thank you!

[shut ingot]

It seems to work when going from the away preset to another but not between other presets

[main meteor]

How to get rid of yellow icons on own defined sensors?

[median lotus]

anyone any ideas? I ran out 😄

[plush dune]

Not sure if correct server but could someone help me with this code on my custom button card?

    [[[
      if (states['person.g3_3'].state == 'home')
        return
      if (states['person.g3_3'].state == "Mother's")
        return
      else
        return `
            </ha-icon>${states['sensor.person_geocoded_location'].state}`
    ]]]```

is there a way to do like a an if error then blank?

[karmic tendon]

set the command_line integration to debug in the logger of configuration.yaml... this may give you more data to play with

[copper isle]

Can someone help with bar card. Style commands are not working at all
All other commands are working fine.

[shut ingot]

Opened an issue here https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/14690

[median lotus]

that, i didnt understand ;D

[golden mist]

@copper isle I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:

[karmic tendon]

In configyaml, make sure you have a section with logger and more important, debug on cl

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

and then restart

the log should show a lot more details on the command_line activity

[median lotus]

oh ok thanks! will do 🙂

but im not getting errors lol

[karmic tendon]

it is not just errors

this will show a lot

should

e.g. for rest integration it will show the whole data coming in

[median lotus]

ok restarting now

[karmic tendon]

in the settings > system > logs...click on the button load full logs

fingers crossed if it shows things

[median lotus]

yeah

Command failed (with return code 255)

ok seems the error is there

[karmic tendon]

I remember something that when you go from HA OS command-line you had to do something else to get it to work but I am not sure what....check other CLI in the forum

[median lotus]

yeah u had to copy the keys and stuff

[random relic]

Hi guys. I have a input_text helper that is not showing its configured Last Changed
When adding it to the dashboard using the Entities Card I get the option to select Secondary Information. For other helpers this works fine, but not for input_text ones... What can I do please?

[vapid field]

Buonasera creando una nuova plancia mi da questo errore "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUpperCase')" da cosa può dipendere?

[random relic]

Hi, not sure I understand correctly, but try to change "toUpperCase" to "upper()". An example I am using; "{{ states('switch.christmas_lights_dumb').upper() }}"

[vapid field]

Non sto facendo nulla ho sto semplicemente creando una nuova plancia e mi da questo errore

[dark dirge]

English, please

[median lotus]

I think hes desperate 😄

[viral scarab]

I'd like to use some custom cards from UI-Lovelace-Minimalist but... I also want to retain some normal UI-editing. Is this an easy task or high difficulty?

Basically, I have a normal lovelace dashboard already going. I want to add this card/template to that: https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI/tree/main/custom_cards/custom_card_input_number

I'll want to add others if possible, but I need to understand how to go about that.

[vapid field]

Good evening, creating a new dashboard gives me this error "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUpperCase')" what could it depend on?

[random relic]

Please post the exact steps that gives this error. I just tried creating a new dashboard (settings -> Dashboards -> Add Dashboard), which worked as expected. Is this also what you tried?

[vapid field]

Yes, I did the same step as you, but I get this error

[random relic]

I am just guessing now, but could it have to do with language settings? What if you change into english (if not already) and try again, will that work?

[unique violet]

I was fiddling with https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities and noticed, that at some point recently, my "On" color changed from the default yellow, to a bright blue color. "Off" color remains a dark blue. My other cards are still yellow/blue. Any ideas what I might have broken?

[random relic]

could it have to do with this perhaps? #beta message

[vapid oak]

2022.12 changed some amber to bright blue I noticed

for my motion sensor it changed to bright blue, I applied a custom theme to switch it back

custom:
  rgb-state-binary-sensor-color: var(--rgb-amber-color)

I think the whole (or most of) the list is here https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/master/src/resources/ha-style.ts

my heater is still blue/yellow, but motion sensor was dark blue/light blue

[deep cairn]

if I don't have a lovelace-ui.yaml do I just create one? does it have to have anything in particular?

[dark dirge]

what would lead you to want one?

[deep cairn]

"To utilize the backgrounds that come with the themes, add this to your lovelace-ui.yaml:"

https://smarthomescene.com/guides/top-10-home-assistant-lovelace-themes/

my thought is... perhaps this info is outdated though...

[dark dirge]

no, it's just intended for people managing their lovelace dashboard in YAML. Which you presumably are not

[deep cairn]

I am not currently, however, I would like to play around with themes... can that be done without using yaml?

[dark dirge]

no

[deep cairn]

is it an all or nothing kind of thing?
yaml all the way, or UI all the way?

or... instead of adding to the yaml... would I add it via the raw config?

[polar kelp]

That line will work if added to the raw config.

Like this (please excuse the picture of code):

[main meteor]

Why is this not working?

[vapid field]

Hey all 🙂 - I hope that my queston does not exist yet - but I cant find anything on Google and in the Forums... I have a really strange error that perhaps only in the Code Editor. I want to edit a card but I can't see the error, it will only show a quarter of it in the left bottom... I'm not really sure why this is caused but I already cleared my cache and used another Brwoser (Chrome and Firefox each the newest version) - Following there are 2 pictures, the first one with a part of my test Code, there is all fine, the error is properly shown in the preview field but in the second image the error field is moved out to the bottom left... Is this a common problem? - and I'm not able to find the answer? or is this an unknown bug? - The error message appears normal until I have a "wrong defined" element on the picture elements card

Thank you a lot for your help 🙂

[main meteor]

Why is this not working to change the color icon depending on state?

[fiery ledge]

Did you install custom-ui? (If not, check my Bio)

[golden mist]

@cosmic harness I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:

[polar kelp]

Can't use templating from the frontend like that. I suggest you make a script that does what you want and trigger that from the button.

Also, it's just data nowadays. Not data_template.

[white marten]

Is it a way to eliminate the vertical stack on this one? I try to use grid instead of horizontal as the large to the right line up.

[cosmic harness]

thx, can i pass a variable to that script, otherwise i need three scripts (min, max, normal)

[polar kelp]

Sure. Anything you put in data will be sent to the script as a variable.

[cosmic harness]

thx.

[polar kelp]

Not really. You could use a 1 column grid instead, though.

[main meteor]

Yes i did but despite the lock is Locked it’s red

[fiery ledge]

Locked or locked (check dev tools/state, which btw should also show the template in the attributes column)

just to be sure, check the config/info and see if custom-ui is correctly installed

[main meteor]

State is “locked” and it shows in the bottom of the about screen that it’s loaded

The red icon seems to be defaulted from the device class in 2022.12

[fiery ledge]

no, custom-ui overrides all others

[main meteor]

So my customize file might not be loaded?

[fiery ledge]

is it new? did you change anything? did it work before?

[main meteor]

It’s new, but reloaded. There is a file in include folder called customize.yaml

Together with my other include files

[fiery ledge]

can you see the template in the attributes column? Of not, it is not injected, and maybe your file is not included correctly

[white marten]

Hmm how would that split work with one column unless i use horizontal and vertical?

[main meteor]

There is a logic there but it’s not the latest. Where is that coming from?

[fiery ledge]

can you post a screenshot? btw, please post your yaml with the include and folder config. for testing purposes, you can copy that bit of yaml inside your configuration.yaml directly

[main meteor]

I tried reload using the dev tool option

There it shows the opposite

[fiery ledge]

well, if this currently shows a red icon, at least that is working as expected 😉

[polar kelp]

I mean only replacing the vertical stack with a one column grid. You'd still need the two column grid also.

[fiery ledge]

did you, after changing the template, also change the state? it changes on state change

[main meteor]

But the attribute part would anyway be correct?

[fiery ledge]

not sure what you're asking now. I thought you said the template is supposed to be reversed. If all is correctly loaded, it will change upon changing the state of the lock.

if not, you need to find out why.....

[viral scarab]

New to minimalist lovelace ui. Can you really not customize these cards much or are all the parameters just not documented on this page? Example: https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/usage/cards/card_generic/

I just want to change the color of the icon. I've gotta be missing something.

Or template the name/state? I can do it in mushroom cards... gotta be possible here too

[simple grotto]

hi, does anyone know what icon the 'Overview' dashboard uses?

its the icon with 4 different sized rectangles

[haughty vine]

I'm trying to get History explorer card to use long term statistics.
But despite using a example code from https://github.com/alexarch21/history-explorer-card#long-term-statistics
..and trying with multiple sensors I cannot get it to work.
Ofc. statistics card from HA shows indeed that there are LTS for those entities.
Can someone help me on this? Or at least confirm that this feature is working as intended with current HA version?

I can even see card fetching data using WS but it doesn't render anything past where standard state history ends..

[vapid field]

can anyone help me with this problem? Error loading the view strategy:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUpperCase')
it shows up when I create a new dashboard

[gloomy iris]

Hello everyone,
my brain seems to have a slow Sunday.
Anybody know why this is not working?

type: custom:auto-entities
sort:
  method: friendly_name
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: climate.eq3_*
card:
  type: thermostat

[fiery ledge]

youd probably be best to post this in the community thread, as its a dedicated HE card issue. Alex is very active there.

[fiery ledge]

define 'not working' ?

[gloomy iris]

Dashboard just shows a red bar with no error message.

[fiery ledge]

try 'name'

~~friendly_name is not listed in the docs ~~https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities#sorting-entities

[gloomy iris]

It is not listed but strangely it always seemd to work.
I used exactly the same code again and now I get

Specify an entity from within the climate domain
entities:
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_dining_room
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_guest_toilet
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_kitchen
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_living_room
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_master_bathroom
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_master_bedroom
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_office
  - entity: climate.eq3_climate_walk_in
type: thermostat

Now I am confused

Which is double weird.
a) those are the entities in the climate domain.
b) I get the same error when I filter by domain: climate

type: custom:auto-entities
sort:
  method: name
filter:
  include:
    - domain: climate
card:
  type: thermostat

[fiery ledge]

this would work:

    - type: custom:auto-entities
      card:
        type: entities
      filter:
        include:
          - domain: climate
            options:
              type: custom:hui-element
              card_type: thermostat
      sort:
        method: name

I changed the order, but also you need to add the hui-element to the card type, otherwise you can not add those climate cards to an entities card

[gloomy iris]

I actually don't have hui-element right now. But of course I can install it. But do you know why the thermostat needs to be wrapped in an entities card?

Would this also work in a simple vertical-stack-card?
Each stack card being a thermostat card

[tired wedge]

Hi, my twinkly light has an attribute with effect list. How can I add it to lovelace UI?

[fiery ledge]

Because it’s auto-entities ….

[fiery ledge]

nope, because vertical-stack expects cards, and not entities

[fiery ledge]

you can use a type: attribute in an entities card. It will show you the option, but it wont show a drop down selector see https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/entities/#attribute

[glossy pivot]

Hi I found an bit of annoying behavior of the graphs in the history tab on mobile. Where can I address this? (Functionality it’s working it’s just where the information shows up)

[vapid oak]

sorry for late response, but I've been using the layout card with the grid layout and have been able to use CSS grid for everything https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card

personally I've been using template areas

  grid-template-columns: 50% 50%
  grid-template-rows: auto
  grid-template-areas: |
    "sidebar main"
    "sidebar main"

and then you add this to the card

          view_layout:
            grid-area: sidebar
            grid-column: 1
            grid-row: 2

I went a little crazy and put grids in grids

https://i.imgur.com/8yESrUp.jpeg
https://paste.helpch.at/xewadubiwe.yml

[white marten]

What is the benefit of doing this vs vertical and hortizontal way?

[vapid oak]

I actually used a custom mod card for a layout card so I could add a background to it

[vapid oak]

I wouldn't necessarily say there's too much benefit if you are just stacking them

I ended up running into some limitations with vertical stack so I ended up switching

limitations being: I can't change how it will look on mobile

so with the grid, this changes format i'll show

[vapid oak]

that changes to this when it gets small enough

[white marten]

The issue right now is that I have a HUGE card with 20 stacks inside them. I didnt know if I should do that or make one card pr entity and let mobile line it up

I start to loose control

[vapid oak]

I see ya

luckily the cards property can be copy/pasted pretty easily, but setting up this AGAIN in a layout card instead would be a lot of work

I know I had to do it for mine and it took quite a while for each card

but if you wanted more control over how it looks on mobile, grid is 100% worth

https://paste.helpch.at/ihevahedub.yml
this is the part of the yaml that deals with changing the grid layout depending on width

[white marten]

Its a new way of thinking for sure

[vapid oak]

yep, looking at your large vertical stack does remind me of the hours I spent lol

Maybe if you just switch the main stack to a grid you could keep the other stacks the same and grouped up

So you have horizontal stacks inside the grid, then you could easily change the layout

wish ya luck if you choose to embark on it 😂

[white marten]

Well this looks like the default method of HA, so its hard to figure out alternative methods. Its not before I started so scroll though the forums the grids came up

[vapid oak]

For sure, just beware there are grid cards and then there is the layout card (lets you apply an entire layout inside a card) that has the grid-layout option

If you use a grid card your columns will be the same for the whole thing vs nearly no limits with css grid (I don't know any css other than what I've been googling for this)

default grid card could do very nicely for your Living room information though for sure

[latent smelt]

I'm still having issues with this.... Anybody have any ideas?

[fiery ledge]

try #ios_and_mac-archived

[fiery ledge]

@gloomy iris I made a mistake earlier. edited that post. just to let you know

[gloomy iris]

I was thinking that maybe auto-entities would supply the entities and thermostat could be the card per stack.
But you are right, it does not work that way.
But your hui-elements approach worked. It does not make the thermostats full size but it works 🙂

[median lotus]

Anyone else ever got stuck in a CLI boot loop and resolved it? lmao

[median crystal]

Can the screen wallpaper be changed based on time?

[median lotus]

dont tell me y'all run baremetal 😄

im still on 8.5.. cant seem t update

[main meteor]

Trying to evaluate a state number but cant get it to work.

icon_color: >
if (state > 0) return 'yellow';
return 'green';

[median lotus]

{% if is_state('light.livingroom', 'on') %}
orange
{% endif %}

[fiery ledge]

They are listed in the entities card so yes, you should add a bit of card_mod to style that. It’s only a matter of box-shadow and margins. ( hint: on the entities card, not the auto-entities …)

[fiery ledge]

Where? This is a custom-Ui JavaScript template and not supported without that custom resource

[median lotus]

hmm is there a way to install qemu guest agent?

[main meteor]

In having a state as a number. I count the number of lights. But when checking if state >0 it’s not triggered.

[dark dirge]

you can't just put a template there

[main meteor]

I have the custom_ui installed

[white marten]

Is it view type that is single row, and not masonry? Would be easier for mobile dashboard I think?

[fiery ledge]

you are really not providing enough info to be able to help you. like the other issue, was that solved now? #frontend-archived message If not, please answer my question
there

btw, depending on the data you feed the template, it might well be the case it isnt a number, but a string. in which case you need to quote the number in the template

btw, and this was a complete surprise to me, (having used custom-ui since forever way back in 2016 I think), I learned we can even use this, on entities that allow setting attributes: in the config: attributes: icon_color: > {{'var(--alert-color)' if this.state|int(default=0) > 0 else 'var(--primary-color)'}} Ofc, we still need custom-ui installed for that (Core HA doesn't know the icon_color attribute). But it allows us to create a template in Jinja, and not need the Javascript version set in customize:

I haven't documented this yet in the Custom-ui repo (so consider this an official scoop 😉 ), will do so tomorrow. Also, I am not yet sure which impact this has on the system (JS frontend is evaluated in the browser, Jinja backend on the server).

see: https://pastebin.com/Z8r1pAQ0 for a complete example template sensor

[main meteor]

Thanks! I will check it! Btw trying the quote since it might be string. Did not help.

[haughty vine]

Thank You.
I did some research and this appears to be a issue introduced coz of 2022.12 ws api changes.

(But just a quick yes/no reply from other person running this card would probably have saved me quite a bit of time so I'm a bit salty🥲 )

Alex is indeed very active thou 👍

[charred cloak]

has anyone else noticed that in december releases, their areas are sorted differently on the overview dashboard?

specifically, mine are no longer sorted alphabetically, which is very strange

(and makes it very difficult to figure out where things are)

[haughty vine]

I have way to many devices now to depend on that automatically generated mess of dashboard.

But it does bother me that sorting is not locale aware.
So e.g. "Łazienka" (Bathroom) will usually land on the end of the list instead of going after "Korytarz" (Hallway).

[charred cloak]

I have a crazy number of devices too, but have been curating it (e.g. hiding entities, etc.) so that it's mostly functional for me when I'm trying to do something I don't do frequently

(e.g. I have some switches that I can toggle on/off to power cycle a device that might be misbehaving)

[haughty vine]

I do hide devices based on not wanting them to be part of area targeted service calls.

which reminds me of the bug were all my deCONZ integration devices gets randomly cleared "hidden" flag. I should have reported that.

[opal crown]

Hey, is there any way to color code a logbook card? For instance, in my logbook below, I want to have the whole line RED when the Garage-Door contact became unknown, and Yellow when the Garage-Door contact was opened.

I also want to color code the Garage AC1 and AC2 to be blue when it is on cool and red when it is on heat.

[earnest mauve]

is anyone using the Show Upcoming Media card that integrates with Radarr/Sonarr/etc?

i have installed the card through HACS and i have installed the sonarr and radarr pieces... when i go to add the sensor in my configuration.yaml, i am getting this error when checking config:
Platform error sensor.sonarr_upcoming_media - Integration 'sonarr_upcoming_media' not found.

[dark dirge]

What exactly did you add?

[earnest mauve]

https://github.com/custom-components/sensor.sonarr_upcoming_media

added the files in step 1, installed upcoming media card, added the sensor to configuration.yaml but when i check config i get that error

[dark dirge]

Did you restart HA before you added that?

[earnest mauve]

yes

i removed it from configuration.yaml and restarted HA

[dark dirge]

Well, it says it can't find it

[earnest mauve]

did that after i added the .py files, the js file,e tc

[dark dirge]

So you should review the HA log

[earnest mauve]

checking

a stray character got added to the .json file

[dark dirge]

Are you messing with the files in .storage?

[earnest mauve]

no, havent touched those

what are tthose used for?

[dark dirge]

You said:

a stray character got added to the .json file

[quiet estuary]

I want to change the content of some cards, depending on whether I'm logged in "local" or "remote". (I.e. whether I'm connected via Nabu Casa or not)
Can someone give me a pointer to get me started?
(I get how to do an IF statement, and do things with it like change the color of a card. I don't know how to detect whether I'm local or remote.)

[fallen geyser]

Does anyone know how to increase the height of the cards on the integration screen? Those are more usable on mobile devices than desktop devices right now :/
I'm talking about the /config/integrations url. The first screenshot is from the desktop, the second from a mobile device, the latter is much more usable

[golden mist]

@limpid tusk I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:

[topaz mauve]

I am really looking forward to changing up my frontend cards with these new options in 2022.11.2 with all the pretty toggles that can be on them now when I get the chance to review

[vapid oak]

You could check the device's ~~BSSID or ~~SSID I bet

[desert quest]

hmm now I have a switch that calls a script that tells a service elsewhere to disable scheduling and restart... but there's like a 1 minute turn around... is there a way I can update the button in lovelace with a spinner or something that shows the action has been started but not finished?

[upbeat zodiac]

Not sure if you fixed this yet but you need to restart before adding the sensor to the config.yaml

[earnest mauve]

there was an issue with 1 of my included files, uploaded them again and all good

[upbeat zodiac]

@earnest mauve do you have a radarr card also? I can't get the radar card to work

[earnest mauve]

check HA logs, that's how i found mine... saw when HA started it was having trouble with the manifest.json file, so got rid of that and put a fresh copy and was working

i dont have the radarr card but i can set it up when i get home and check

[upbeat zodiac]

@earnest mauve yeah I got the sonarr one working but the radarr and emby ones are not, I'm not even sure the radarr on is still functioning, if you get it working please ping me

[earnest mauve]

sure thing, will take a look in an hour or so

[spring falcon]

hi, is it possible to change the length of history shown for an entity? i have 7 temp sensors and 2 of them are showing history since first turned on. others are showing 24 hours

[spring falcon]

the answer to this was to use a history graph card

[glacial ledge]

@sudden apex

The preferred way to configure an input number is via the user interface at Settings -> Devices & Services -> Helpers. Click the add button and then choose the Number option.

[opaque kiln]

This is via the HA Companion app? You could track whether your person is home or if your device is connected to your wifi. If no, then you must be remotely accessing right?

[pine jungle]

so with 2022.12.4, now binary sensors have the off and on color as amber

[velvet gyro]

After updating to 2022.12 the entity names are no longer shown in history graphs.
How do I get them back?

[rich eagle]

Was already fixed in 2022.12.1, so I would assume you are not running the latest one?

[velvet gyro]

Ah , no i didn't update because i don't use any of the components that got fixes

I'll update to .4

[flat copper]

Hey there! Quick question. In the last few updates over the last month or so something changed with my dashboard. It use to sort my Groups first (by order I have them configured in groups.yaml), but now it looks like my devices are all sorted alphabetically, first by devices, then by groups.yaml. Is there a settings somewhere to put groups first? I know I can "take control" of dashboard and create my own dashboard, but for the default dashboard, I personally liked the groups first, then all the devices after it... Just wasn't sure if there is a new setting or something that toggles this since it changed?

[rich eagle]

In 2022.12.4 (released today) there is a fix for the sorting of the auto generated dashboard. That might fix your issue. Although TBH, I don't know if/how groups are handled. I am only aware of areas and devices.

[shell burrow]

Any workaround for https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/14734 ?

[flat copper]

It did fix the sorting, but it now is sorting groups at the end instead of the beginning. 2022.12.4 fixed an issue that caused the devices to just be everywhere (no sorting that I could tell anyways)... So now they are sorted alphabetically, but groups are at the end. Was wanting them at the beginning.

[rich eagle]

@winter hollow Was that done on purpose, do you know?

[winter hollow]

No, not changed on purpose

I guess they should be between areas and devices?

[rich eagle]

FYI: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/14741

[halcyon mantle]

I have been searching the forums and the like to wrap my head around the whole colour change debacle which broke many a UI. I managed to fix most of the issues, but I can seem to figure out how to change the icon color the custom:fold-entity-row. The behaviour also seems to be inconsistent, as some of them are using the default blue/grey colour, but some decided that the new orange is the way to go. Below is an example of one which decided to adopt the orange colour, and I would like to restore it to the blue/gray. Any direction/assistance will be appreciated.```

[fallow root]

hello I made a grid card with 6 buttons to set my heating. Each button calls a different scene. The only issue is that it does not highlight which scene is currently set. Is there a way to make it so that it highlights the button that is currently active (or just highlight which of the 6 buttons was the last to be pressed)?

[sudden apex]

When I added it via Helpers, it didn't give me the choice between Slider or Box 😦 Is there something I'm missing maybe? Also, thanks for moving me to the proper thread 🙂

[flat copper]

Thank you!

[rich eagle]

A scene does not have an "active" state that could be used to highlight a button. I imagine that it might be possible with some templating and card-mod magic by comparing which scene has the newest trigger timestamp and based on that color in your buttons.

But a scene in itself just recalls a certain saved state and cannot judge if it is still "active" a second alter, since some other action/automation might have changed something so it technically no longer matches the saved scene state.

[fallow root]

So it sounds like trying to achieve this with scenes is a bad idea. Should I go with scripts or is anything else recommended?

[opaque kiln]

I use a template binary sensor to detect when the entity states match those in a scene. But it is cumbersome to remember to update the template whenever you tweak the scene. So in the end I just store the desired states in the template sensor attributes, and avoid scenes altogether.

[fallow root]

hmmm is there maybe a way I could disable an automation whenever I enable another one? I wonder if this could do the trick

[opaque kiln]

Sure. Use service automation.turn_off in the action section.

[fallow root]

I did that but I think my issue is to set the proper trigger. I can't figure that part out. I want Automation A to be disabled by my clicking on enabling Automation B. How can I do that?

[opaque kiln]

State trigger when automation b becomes on. Automations are also entities.

[fallow root]

I did this and it did not work:

[opaque kiln]

If you now go and turn automation b off and on, do you see the "triggered" bar at the top of this trigger?

[fallow root]

yes

[opaque kiln]

Then the trigger works. But the actions don't run?

[fallow root]

this is my action. I tested it with a time trigger. And the time trigger did turn off that automation

[opaque kiln]

Ok. So the action works too. Check the traces.

[fallow root]

erm this is a bit above me... I found the traces button though.

you can create a helper that is numeric, and map between the numeric and the dropdown

[tulip vessel]

Hi there. I'd like to know if what I am experiencing is common or if I have somehow messed up.
Yesterday I migrated DB of pretty much fresh install (been running for only 5 days) to MariaDB. My install is a KVM on ubuntu server.
Well, I was playing with sensors and managed to confuse one to a point it was spitting out junk data. I said to my self, no problem, I'm just gonna go to DB and delete the junk readings.
Well I did exactly that. Than I clicked on entity in HA and it showed blank space, where the bad readings were.
Then I went to dashboard and to my surprise the charts were still showing the deleted DB data. This persists even if i restart HA from dev. tools menu.
I was trying to find answers on forum and google but I'm still finding how to delete data from database but nothing about the charts.

[rich eagle]

Yeah, seems sometimes random. Do you know if somewhere there is already an existing list, we might try to update?

[dark dirge]

No idea, unfortunately. It's more of a discovery process 🙂. I sure wish that the "Owner != Advanced" discussion could be revisited as well

[tulip vessel]

What I noticed after migration was, that the previous database was showing up on the charts for next 12-18 hours before it was gone for good.
The weird thing was that during this time, it was sometimes shown and sometimes not.

[untold trail]

Anyone know how to remove huge margin/padding between my 2 bulbs in this Mushroom Grid?

Wait wtf

it WAS lmao it enabled itself

It states no statistics found...the question is why?
When I go on "show more" I see them...

[pine jungle]

@vapid fieldgo to developer tools > statistics

does it show a fix issue button

[lone cobalt]

After the update to 2022.12 I do not have titles on statistics-graph. I thought it might be some glitch while manually editing yaml through UI, as it sometimes removes those titles, but no. The names for entities are still there, but those do not show on the graph. Any ideas? Btw. "średnia" is just "mean" in Polish 😉

[raven moth]

Well it filters on selected entities .. not just a dynamic box 🙂 so you still need to add all entities 😦

[white marten]

You could just make a template sensor for charging the car which outputs the text you want with an attribute for the colour.

How do i change the icon colors? since the 2022.12 update they became yellow and blue and w.e and now since the last update more became yellow -.-

[opaque kiln]

Try setting the dashboard to panel mode. It will fill the whole width but you can only have one card on the dashboard (which would probably be one of the horizontal/vertical stack or grid cards to allow you to nest more cards).

[timid beacon]

Are there performance or other downsides to only using a single dashboard? I'd like to make use of the decluttering card, but it only works per dashboard

Visibility can be controlled per-view so I don't think that would be a problem

[timid beacon]

Seems like one drawback is that there isn't a way to set a default dashboard view for a user

[rich eagle]

There is a toggle switch to not have them render as squares.

[edgy flame]

i figured out why home assistant does autorefresh whe you lose connection or view page after long sleep...

its cause of ingress... they havent figured out how to refresh or create new ingress session after long sleep or idle. So they refresh the page as a hack to emulate you clicking the link on the side bar to start the ingress session..

the connection issue is just an unintended side effect of this hack

Hi everyone, hoping i can get some help cleaning up my dashboard. right now i have a couple of devices that are showing all their devices as "Sensors" or "binary sensors". normally would look for the main entity or to each one and move them to the pertaining area, but these items are showing as having no "unique ID". is there any way to move them to other zones?

[fiery ledge]

or try the Experimental.....https://github.com/Mariusthvdb/custom-ui/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md#however-experimental-recently-discovered

[main meteor]

Tried it all, nothing works 😦

It works great with string states

[fiery ledge]

Yeah well, I keep saying it: your install of custom-ui has an issue and you’re not providing the info we need to be able to help

Maybe open a post in the community and post your yaml there

Is way easier than here

Feel free to tag me

[main meteor]

Its just when want to compare a string as number its not working

[fiery ledge]

Then quote . There are many examples in the documentation

[main meteor]

Light still white

[fiery ledge]

Did you reload customizations

[main meteor]

yes and even changed the state

[fiery ledge]

As said , you have another issue .open a post in community and some of the yaml.

Including screenshot of the correct install

[vapid oak]

does it need to be surrounded in [[[ ]]]?

I just remember doing some javascript the other day and it was surrounded in that

just taking guesses tho, idrk

Is it possible to view with the hands (type: gauge) for consumption in real time? I have already connected a shelly3EM

[graceful citrus]

What do you mean by "with the hands"? It's updated when the sensor updates.

[gray current]

with the lancet.

[gray current]

I managed to put the instantaneous consumption but I would like to put it in kWh and not in A. I am attaching the photo

[graceful citrus]

Ok, a template sensor then

[gray current]

what? i dont understand

[dawn acorn]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#sensor I believe you need to use a template to do the math to get to the unit you want and then specify that unit.

or if it is exposed as an attribute, you can use that

[fiery ledge]

There should be a line with templates: right above the icon_color:

[next imp]

anyone who can help me out with making an animated icon - spinning fan. I dont know what i am doing wrong. It works just for maybe 1 second then it stops. The setup is as follows: rm4 pro + dumb fan.

[fiery ledge]

just use the spin: true ?

in the state, use it like: - value: 'on' id: state-on spin: true

the id is used in a button_card_template, so it can merge with possible other state stylings

or with a full template like: spin: state: - value: 'on' id: state-on spin: true so you use the template like: template: spin

[next imp]

"Button-card template 'spin' is missing!" is what i get.

[dark dirge]

needs to be under button_card_templates:

I'm surprised https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/14703 isn't getting more attention. The frontend issue is breaking utility_meter fairly badly...

[opaque kiln]

What integration produced those entities? If those are configured in yaml, you can add in a unique_id in the yaml and then they will be editable in the UI, including to assign areas.

[hardy ember]

Can anyone recommend a few simple examples of custom panels? Want to write something fairly simple but not really sure where to start aside from the example given in the docs.

I started using grid on the elements itself, but I still struggle with the main layout to be very unattractive. What is the best way to layout this in one row? It doesnt seem like things line up properly in full screen regardless (line up fine in mobile).

theyre mostly sensors i added to my configurations.yaml file

@white marten very flexible https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card

Yes, but you need card_mod for that

Hello, I was trying to implement an update to my pictures element display to incorporate some security cameras. Looking at the HA Picture Elements help page, I found something that provides help on security cameras. However, I want the icon on the Picture Elements display to be a static icon (like the light icon), and instead what I get is an image captured from security camera footage itself (because it uses camera_image: camera.xxx)
Is there anyone who can point me to only showing a camera icon?

[plucky mesa]

Hi! Unsure where to post this question so i'll keep it here for now. I'm using mushroom cards on frontend to control a group of lights in my living room. I've now added a LED strip that I want to add to that group. It's working, but i'd prefer if that LED strip always stays at 100% brightness as it's rather dim. Is there a way to retain the same mushroom card, but have the LED strip ignore the brightness changes made to it? FWIW, it's a Tuya WiFi strip

[opaque kiln]

Then just add unique_id: xxx to the yaml configuration. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#unique_id

@glossy spire I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:

[glossy spire]

Have a question as to how the system reads the entities state.

My understanding is that it goes to the next if it fails. I can get the >10 and === 0 to function, its the 10>4 range that I cant get to trigger. Not sure if it should be an elif maybe or that the two are both greater than instead of the middle being <>.

[dark dirge]

the problem is that states are strings

comparing a string against a number that you turn into a string isn't the right approach

you need to turn the state into a number and then compare with a number

    - color: |
        [[[
          if (parseFloat(entity.state) > 10) return 'lime'; 
          if (parseFloat(entity.state) > 4) return 'yellow'; 
          if (parseFloat(entity.state) === 0) return 'black';
          else return 'red';
        ]]]

[glossy spire]

that makes sense.

[dark dirge]

But you haven't built a continuum. Did you want "red" from 1-4?

[glossy spire]

no only if it goes offline

so anything other than a number

[dark dirge]

that's not what the logic says

1-4 isn't covered, except for red

[glossy spire]

nvm 1-4 doesn't matter

4-10 is the timer running still

thats the only time iit goes under 10

just an alert that the timer hasn't stopped but the cycle has

[dark dirge]

you're also excluding 4

anyway, I leave the logic to you...

[glossy spire]

yea I understand that part just found the operators for doing that and wasn't sure if I can denote a range or not

ill do some tinkering I appreciate that

[dark dirge]

you can in Python, but I'm not a JS guy

[glossy spire]

I don't know either so lol. I can understand mostly as what things like this are trying to do but the syntax and in this case numbers vs strings

Hey Rob, I was wondering if you could help with my previous request:

wont produce anything and no error what did I miss lol

[clear osprey]

you had 3 = on zero before, now it is 2

No idea though

[glossy spire]

yea the code operators list it as only 2. I had that originally tho was just testing to see if it fixed it

just doing a comparison with the previous entry

[glossy spire]

no worries appreciate the help still im sure its something like that lol

[dark dirge]

you also put the parens in the wrong place

go look at mine again

I suggest breaking it down and seeing what it does

[glossy spire]

oh yea

parsing the equation instead of the entity

I...guess?

not really

oh, that's what you were doing

which doesn't make sense

Hi! For a room, I have the measured temperature, and the setpoints for heating and cooling (writeable) in HA. How would I create a thermostat card from that?

[crisp plume]

#templates-archived recommended creating a generic thermostat with a dummy entity as heater. After that it should show up in the dashboard.

[vast crane]

I suggested maybe try an MQTT thermostat, I think that could be appropriate.

Instead, I’m just getting a plain white background.

Is it just me?

[rotund wadi]

Not sure whether to ask this in here or #devs_frontend-archived , but will start here to I don't get roasted 🔥 I have created a custom card, which contains an SVG (and nothing else), which is a square (viewBox is 100x100). The resulting ha-card always has height 6 pixels more than its width (and that of the SVG inside), and there's an extra "gap" at the bottom (only). The SVG inside is a square (equal height and width), as it's supposed to be. It's a cosmetic issue, but it's bugging me. Where is this 6-pixel high extra bit at the bottom of the card coming from? Simple code for illustration of the problem at https://pastebin.com/yZUcY8kH

[timber flint]

Hello!

There is any solution to add a sensors value as secondary info under a switch?
I want to add under last entity "Mosogatógép" what is a dishwasher the remaining time what I have in a sensor. I tried with thomasloven/lovelace-template-entity-row but as soon I add it the switch changes the switch button to text "on/off" and I cannot switch anymore with a click.

As you can see the Switch button is disappeared.

[timber flint]

Solution would be secondary-entity-row if it would work correctly.

I dont know what is Object Promise.

        name: Mosogatógép
        icon: mdi:dishwasher
        type: custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row
        secondary_info: [[ sensor.mosogatogep_remaining_program_time.state ]]
        state_color: true```

[dark dirge]

that card uses pretty weird syntax, but my guess is that you need to surround the template in quotes

As shown in the docs. Otherwise, it looks like a malformed list to the YAML parser

[timber flint]

Omg, looks like I forgot to add it, Thanks so much for the hint. that was it.

[fiery ledge]

Use toggle: true ?

[polar kelp]

We're usually nice in #devs_frontend-archived.
SVG is an inline element by default, which means it is handled like a piece of text. So that part below is for the decenders - like you have on j, g, y etc - the stuff that sticks below the baseline.
Add a this.content.style.display = "block"; and that should fix it.

[rotund wadi]

Awesome - that does seem to be it. Thanks very much!

[edgy flame]

how do you pass arguments of http://127.0.0.1/lovelace/tab?argument=value to a webpage card in it ?

[opal geyser]

url: "https://myperfectpage.link/?argument={{ sensor.yourwish }}" eg as cardurl

[edgy flame]

sensor.yourwish ?

argument=value contains data from notification onClick

[edgy flame]

this will never work

webpage card does not support template like {{ }}

everytime i get close to a solution it always escapes me because of home assistant limitations

[polar kelp]

You'd probably need some sort of javascript templating card.

Like this maybe: https://github.com/iantrich/config-template-card

[timber flint]

Hello,

Can you please help me a bit with the syntax, I want to use secondary info to showing value of "sensor.mosogatogep_remaining_program_time.state" what is already working, but when the device is powered off remaning time showing Unavailable, in that case I want to show simple text "Not Started Yet".

        name: Mosogatógép
        icon: mdi:dishwasher
        type: custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row
        secondary_info: '[[ sensor.mosogatogep_remaining_program_time.state ]]'
        state_color: true```

secondary_info: '[[ if(switch.mosogatogep_power.state is on, "state of sensor", "Not Started Yet") ]]'
Something like this but the "is on" part is bad and not changing.

[rotund wadi]

something along the lines of .... secondary_info: > {% if states('switch.mosogatogep_power') == 'on' %} {{ states('sensor.mosogatogep_remaining_program_time') }} {% else %} Not Started Yet {% endif %}

[timber flint]

Exactly, Thank you very much, not just solved it but I understand the syntax now!

[rotund wadi]

BTW, it appears you can do it this way too (I got curious - not quite a jinja guru!): secondary_info: "{{ states('sensor.easyweatherpro_v5_1_0_wind_direction') if states('input_boolean.test_input') == 'on' else 'wut' }}"

uhm, replace the entity IDs with yours, of course 😉

[timber flint]

could you also pass this into the syntax if not a problem?
value_template: '{{ (as_timestamp(states("sensor.mosogatogep_remaining_program_time")) - as_timestamp(now())) | timestamp_custom("%M") }}'

so the remaining time will be shown as minute not as a timestamp.

[rotund wadi]

If that works, you should be able to put it in place of {{ states('sensor.mosogatogep_remaining_program_time') }}

[timber flint]

ah you are right.

Hi, I've been trying for days to integrate all the correct sensors of a 3EM shelly into my energy dashboard. First of all, I saw that shelly's ammeter clamps don't calculate the energy produced by the solar panels, probably because the voltage is different (?).
I tried to integrate this, but without success because nothing traces me ( https://community.home-assistant.io/t/shelly-3em-3-phase-net-metering-templates-for-import-export-and-consumption/390237 )
Has anyone had this kind of problem before? How can I solve this problem?

[edgy flame]

${(new URLSearchParams(window.location.search)).get("argument")}?

Does anyone have any guides handy on putting multiple information in a card. Similar to this

[timid beacon]

I'm having all kinds of issues with the state-switch card. Primarily it will show the correct cards when I'm inside the card editor, but once the dashboard actually loads it doesn't show anything. Is this a common issue? It seems really glitchy

Sometimes if I make a change to the card then it will show up on the dashboard, but then if I refresh the page it goes away

But inside the editor dialog it always shows correctly

[ornate spade]

So i made some progress and using the stack in card. How do I get rid of the boarder

[timid beacon]

There's a post on the forum about removing the border after the release that introduced them (2 releases ago?)

Using card-mod

Found it: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/2022-11-card-borders/485102/3

Hi Everyone. I'm trying to add my garage temperature with a template to my Lovelace because it's a pretty consistent 5ºC off. I was able to put it in with other climate entities but is there a way to make it look the same as the humidity? (Ignore the "not available", that sensor's batteries died and I haven't bothered to replace them yet)

[timid beacon]

You should paste the YAML for that here

[west geyser]

`type: entities
title: Climate
entities:

• entity: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_humidity
  name: Ensuite Humidity
• entity: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_pressure
  name: Ensuite Pressure
• entity: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_temperature
  name: Ensuite Temperature
• type: custom:hui-markdown-card
  content: >-
  Garage Temperature {{ states('sensor.garage_temperature') | float +
  states('input_number.garage_temp_offset') | float }} ºC
• entity: sensor.garage_humidity`

I think that's short enough to not use the website.

[timid beacon]

You can use 3 backticks btw to make a block of code

[timid beacon]

You probably want to make a template sensor instead of doing the conversation in the UI

So that template that you have there, make an actual entity for that and you'll want to set the proper settings on it

Then you can set the proper device class on that sensor so it displays properly:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sensor/

Here's an example of a sensor I have for an attribute of another sensor. You can see how I set properties on it which will tell HA how to properly handle it

- name: Thermostat target temperature
  device_class: temperature
  unit_of_measurement: "°F"
  state: >
    {{ state_attr('climate.thermostat', 'temperature') }}

[cerulean iron]

Is it me or the new state colours for binary entities are very hard to differentiate from the default primary color? Here’s my example with two entities to OFF and one ON, it’s hard to see which one is at ON :

Perhaps i’m missing a new setting? 🫤

[west geyser]

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. That's just created under Sensors in config.yaml right?

[timid beacon]

That's a good callout and maybe worth opening a ticket.

[timid beacon]

Yeah if you're not familiar with creating template sensors in your config, that's another discussion and probably for another room like #templates-archived or #integrations-archived. There are a few different ways to create sensors with templates

[cerulean iron]

Alright, I wanted to be sure I’m not crazy! Will do! 😅

[timid beacon]

I probably would have noticed too, but I hide most entities on my dashboard that aren't active

You also may be able to fix that with your theme or just on the card directly. I haven't messed around with themes though so I can't help there

[west geyser]

Got it, thanks!

...just need to change the name

[timid beacon]

They should probably change the "off" colors to be gray instead of blue now that they have different colors for different entities

[half pecan]

I have a weird issue with rgb-state-alarm-armed-color. When i set it to red, it turns white 😦

Hey, how are you all doing. Im a new user to home assistant. After the nescecary strugles and effort, i managed to get my server running including a mqtt server and everything is connected via duckdns and secured with let's encrypt. I was so happy! Now i'm in the configuration of the dashboards and adding some lights. I think i understand everything, it just gives me an error when i try to add custom MQTT-lights that i dont understand. Actually its not HA that gives me an error, but it is the Studio Code Server App - where i edit the confuguration.yalm file - that warns me some things might not work. And in the frontend it also does not work the way i expect.

Can someone tell me if i just missed a big step somewhere?

[dark dirge]

does it pass the config check?

[vapid field]

yes, it does

[dark dirge]

what VSCode thinks doesn't really matter, and may be outdated

focus on what doesn't actually work

[vapid field]

okee i was contemplating this.

In the frontend, i do not get to see a colorwheel when i add a lightcard with this name. That i would expect.

[dark dirge]

ok. I have no colored lights and can't offer suggestions on that. Regarding the VSCode extension, I suggest seeing if you have an update waiting. Frenck recently updated the schemas and such

[vapid field]

Thank you. Ill check to see if there is an update.

im on the latest. But thanks anyway.

to give some closure, it does seem to work, despite the warmings. But i get it to work with an custom light card, not with the default one.

This is likely a feature that each custom card has to implement. I suggest opening an issue on the card's GitHub repository.

I'm trying to fix an issue with my dashboard and a select entity. it's been non-functional for a while but I'm finally digging into it.
At some point in the past I was able to create an entity card with "select.foo" as the entity and it would give me a dropdown of available options, which I would click, and it would apply my selection.
Now, after the dropdown, I get the following message:
"Failed to call service select/select_option. must contain at least one of entity_id, device_id, area_id."
This occurs regardless of which select entity I use.
I don't recall seeing this in a breaking change, but I assume it was there. What do I need to do here?

Hi, did I just dream that script fields were visible from the UI or they disappeared in 2022.12?

Even if I take the full configuration example from https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/#full-configuration, I can't input those fields from the UI when running the script

How to make a local checkout of ha-core use a local checkout of ha-frontend? I want to test a recent fix that's not in a frontend release yet?

nm found it https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/frontend/development/

[prime narwhal]

Hmm can't get it to work. Most of the icons working, but not of the text, assuming some translation problem.

[timid beacon]

Feeling really frustrated with card-mod tonight. This isn't changing the size of the icon:

type: glance
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-svg-icon {
      transform: scale(2.5) !important;
    }
entities:
  - binary_sensor.front_door_contact

What am I doing wrong here? If I save this and go into dev tools and find that element and apply that same css style it works exactly how I want. I constantly run into things like this with card-mod and I feel like I'm missing something. What gives?

[timid beacon]

I think it has something to do with the shadow root

I'm using entity-list cards to show the temp/humidity in each room. I'd like to add some color coding on each card to show if the values are in expected levels. Can anyone suggest a simple way to do this?

[lunar heart]

Hey Folks,

I am trying to show a mushroom card only if a entity is available or not... I found the conditions card but that only let's me check if the state is 'on' or 'off' so that won't work...

~ CLOSED ~

[lunar heart]

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/use-battery-icon-from-the-ha-app-battery-sensor-on-a-custom-button-card/376668/18 Maybe this can help you

I also got this card personalized to myself and my wife. Found it somewhere in a forum, unfortunately I can't find the original post. But if you want the code, hit me up

[exotic dew]

I haven't found anything on the site yet and was wondering if the new entity history color scheme is fixed. I much prefer the red/green over the new grey/yellow(?) isn't working out for me. Grey has always been unavailable (still is it seems) and is confusing w/ the Off state.

Why am i not able to add this sensor to the Individual devices in the energy dashboard? mqtt: sensor: - name: "IVT Supp energy heating" state_topic: "fxcf5c49fdsfd772/HP/5C52" unit_of_measurement: "kWh" icon: mdi:flash

ignore the malformed yaml (bad paste)

the entity works just fine in other dashboards

[split remnant]

anyone with this problem? Some icons don't show in the card, but if I click on the entity I see the icon... only hidden in the card. Some time after they show again, but only to disappear without apparent reason. This icons are from a custom pack https://github.com/elax46/custom-brand-icons

Still getting these endless warnings about bluetooth even with latest core and OS. Been ongoing for months. Is this the right thread to post this in?

[jovial flicker]

Idk why but my hass won’t show the background on the internal url anymore… does anybody know why that would all of a sudden do that out of the blue? I’ve tried reinstalling the theme and all kinds of stuff it only shows when I’m connected to the external url and it literally just started doing it today out of the blue.

I have an area card on my dashboard that use to show my doorbell or an image created by that doorbell, I swapped out the doorbell for a newer one but now there is no image. Is there any way to fix it? the new one is in the correct area and the old one I deleted just to be sure.

[elfin latch]

fixed it by removing the area and re adding everything again

Hi all, after trying to google, community forum searching and doing some other searching I cannot find the cause of some ongoing, repeating and annoying messages in my logs. I could really use some help to get the root cause of this. Thanks!

[karmic tendon]

Is this a sensor or statistics? Might it be that uour recorder only keeps 20days of (history) data?

[karmic tendon]

🙂

you can add a total_increasing sensor

that one just puts data in statistics on a rolling basis without setting it to 0

[wicked raven]

Hey guys. Can anybody tell me why the following code doesn't make the icon color match the lightbulb color? The code was shortened at the end, but shouldn't have anything to do with the problem. I just left off the tap_action.```

type: custom:mushroom-template-card
entity: light.office_light
primary: Office Light
layout: vertical
icon: mdi:lightbulb-outline
icon_color: "{{ states.light.office_light.attributes.rgb_color }}"

Or why this doesn't work either

type: custom:mushroom-template-card
entity: light.office_light
primary: Office Light
layout: vertical
icon: mdi:lightbulb-outline
icon_color: {{ state_attr('light.office_light', 'rgb_color' }}

[sick crown]

second one is missing closing bracket ) i think?

[wicked raven]

Yeah, that one is, but I don't think that the original code does. I'll check

Hello, I've been building my entire UI in lovelace, and it's pretty much finished.
Meanwhile, I've been trying to now import it all (creating pages and so on, in the ui-lovelace-minimalist but I can't seem to make the pages work with the code I'm copying in the UI and shows as "Unknown Type Vertical Stack".
https://paste.debian.net/1265038/

What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure it's the way I'm doing the spacement.

The times I manage to make it work (and can't even get there at this point lol), it doesn't do the vertical stack aligning it all.

If it somehow helps cus there's a change I've "ruined" that trying to fix the YAML, this the one that works on /lovelace https://paste.debian.net/1265039/
So all I want is to import code that's built that way, into new pages, via VSC in the new minimalist.

[wicked raven]

This isn't working either. ```

type: custom:mushroom-template-card
entity: light.office_light
layout: vertical
primary: Office
icon: mdi:lightbulb-outline
icon_color: {{ state_attr('light.office_light', 'rgb_color') }}
tap_action:
action: toggle

[sick crown]

did you test the template in dev tools?

{{ state_attr('light.office_light', 'rgb_color') }}```

[wicked raven]

Yes I tested it in developer tools and it returns the rgb color

[past folio]

I'm having difficulty using a "select" entity in a dashboard card - I get the error "Failed to call service select/select_option. must contain at least one of entity_id, device_id, area_id." every time I use it

Gonna give this a try, thank you!

[upbeat zodiac]

For some reason I cant get the hold action to work on my button card, tap action works fine but hold is just not reacting, any ideas

here is what i have

        entity: light.black_lamp
        icon: mdi:countertop-outline
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        hold_action:
          action: more-info```

[vast crane]

Can you pastebin your card yaml? Make sure you have an entity_id in the service_data.

[past folio]

okay, that's the thing - I can't find an example that shows doing that.
I'll happily show you what I've got but I can't find a good example of what I want - does that make sense? (pastebin incoming)

https://pastebin.com/qeJr5JTB

the things I see referencing "service_data" are all for "input_select" entities, not "select" entities

[vast crane]

Oh my mistake, I thought you were trying to do a button . If you just want a select dropdown in an entities card, I wouldn't think you need anything special. I would think what you had would work.

[past folio]

note: this was working until a few months back. and I've been going around it by using a node-red automation that's a bit more explicit about things.

and yeah, I'd have thought so too LOL - it used to.

[vast crane]

What you have works for me, so I'm stumped.

[timber saffron]

I have a question about icons: I have downloaded from material design icons a specific icon (PNG 24 x 24), changed it and saved it to my local config/www folder

Now I try using it but it doesn't show it. Is this the correct way?

icon: /local/window-shutter-partially.png

[dark dirge]

The field is typically looking for something like 'mdi:xxx'

It's not for images

[timber saffron]

Okay but is it possible to have your own modified icon showed?

[dark dirge]

Find the mdi id, and assuming that HA has the version that includes it, it should work

I don't think so

[timber saffron]

okay

[past folio]

weird, because I have tried it with a number of different types of cards and a number of different select entites and they all fail the same way

[upbeat zodiac]

in reference to my post above, the hold action works when I use the HA app on my phone just not on my PC, strange thing is other buttons work with hold action on the PC

[unkempt willow]

Hello!
Should Entity ID's contain the device name? On my integration I have a number of sensors and they're are getting Entity ID's like: sensor.temperature, sensor_temperature_2, etc...

[dark dirge]

Not necessarily. They can be named however you want

If you change the name of the device, it will offer to rename the entities for you

[unkempt willow]

yes, I know the user can rename them. I was just wondering, when the integration is added if I should have more descriptive entity ID's

[dark dirge]

It's completely up to the integration

[polar kelp]

There are some guidelines, but things vary wildly.

[wicked bone]

hi all, im having trouble adding a sensor that reports power usage to the energy dashboard and statistics card. the data is served over MQTT, i have not added a unique id to the sensor in my configuration.yaml file. Is that why it cant be added?

      state_topic: "fcXX7772/HP/5C53"
      unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
      icon: mdi:flash```

i have no problem viewing the data in say an entities card.

[tidal dirge]

you need state_class and device_class for the sensor. Probably device_class: "energy" and usually state_class: "total_increasing" (https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/#long-term-statistics has more details on the state classes)

[wicked bone]

thank you very much!

Hey guys! I have been trying to use SWAKES dashboard, and can't figure out why the font that showing up in my dashboard doesn't match his font; also I can't figure out how to remove the background behind the title of the card itself like in the picture:
The first picture it's SWAKES dashboard, the second is mine.

[fiery ledge]

Never occurred to me, so, is an entity card supposed to not show an entity_picture (in this case a template sensor ) ? See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/moon-platform-with-moon-phases-pictures/86646/88?u=mariusthvdb

[leaden island]

So I'm using swiss-army-knife card. Installed via the hybrid and manual methods. Updated my configuration and ui-lovelace etc to get it running. It generally loads in, and I can build cards with the custom card, but they break anytime there is a restart.

Actually, everything, even the included tutorial and exampl dashboards break throwing a template error. If I never create my own card, I can restart without issue

[thorny echo]

Hey everybody, I'm trying to figure out how to create a button/light style toggle for all the lights in a room. Any suggestions on how to do that?

[atomic glacier]

@thorny echo https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/group , then just use whatever card you wish to display it in

[thorny echo]

Sorry I should have been clearer - my goal is to adjust the color/brightness of all the lights in a group at the same time. The group toggle works well for basic on/off stuff

[blazing wren]

You can still use a group

[thorny echo]

OK, do I need to add anything to the YAML of the card?

[blazing wren]

Nope, just make sure to use the right entity name for the group.

[thorny echo]

That gets me the toggle functionality - what about adjusting brightness/colors of all the lights at once?

[blazing wren]

Well for that you need the right kind of card 😉

E.g. https://github.com/bokub/rgb-light-card

[thorny echo]

That looks more like it. Thanks Rosemary!

[blazing wren]

Have fun!

[thorny echo]

Also that lead me to HACS which seems like the user repository I was hoping for.

😄

[blazing wren]

Yup, not everything is listed in their "catalogue", but a lot of integrations, cards, themes add HACS support to make it easy to install them

Only if the card you're using says it is

[simple basalt]

Hi all, happy Christmas!
I have a little problem with my thermostat card
anyone know why is showing these values ?

while in SmartLife app showing the correct temp values

im very new to all this.. any help will be much appreciated

[devout raft]

hello , do anyone know how to fix this weird up and down values from a temperature sensor , so the line is more smooth?

[karmic tendon]

If I look at the graph, it seems as if your sensor rounds at whole grades, maybe try to see if you can 'repair' the sensor ?

i.e. from the fist peak, it could have been 19.4 (roudning to 19) an dthen 19.5 resulting in the peak to 20 then 19.3 again (or so) hence back to 19

[devout raft]

propably yes..thats whats happening. i get the reading from AC , when its 'turned off' it still connects to wifi and reports the room temperature.
but even the gree intergration , show integer numbers.

@karmic tendon maybe its hardware limitations? and reports wrong values ?
do you have any idea how to solve this?

[worn solstice]

The fill_raw: last can be the issue,

[devout raft]

nah i tried without it . its the same or worst graphs because i have some missing readings from time to time

[karmic tendon]

From the screenshot it seems to be a local named AC, do you have any details ? I have no clue what gree is/does

often you can set the temp sensor to include decimals

Another option is to try and 'fake' in the graph by adding an average covering a period just a bit larger than the peak, e.g. 3 mins

[devout raft]

my AC is 'Inventor' brand( model : Nemesis Pro ), made by 'Gree'. Gree Integrations come from stock in HA.

i get the readings from this entity.

then i made a new 'sensor' and read these values , in order to use them in a card on dashboard.

[karmic tendon]

integration does not seem to show unrounded grades...a bit odd though. Your last graph still shows full grades, regardless of the .5 steps.

Option1: report an issue wiht the gree integration on temperature accuracy

I would do this anyhow

then.

Option2: if it is only the graph, then add group_by on avg with a period of (say) 2 mins and see if that helps, if the peaks come and go in <1 min you can go to 1 min period...try...

not100% sure as I cannot simulate this as I donot have the data

out now... good luck

[devout raft]

thanks!! i ll try option 2.. i ll report an issue also

have a great day, thanks again

[old fox]

Any way of adding tile cards to entities card?

[wintry gull]

Hello everyone. Is it possible to have a tap and double tap assigned to the same button? I ask because when I have both assigned only the single tap happens twice (turn on and then off in sequence fast).

[bright sky]

Is it possible to use an attribut (media player source) as condition for a conditional card?

[dark dirge]

Seems not directly. Would need to make a template sensor to expose it as a state

[bright sky]

Thank you!

@old fox haven't tried it yet, but https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-hui-element is the only option that may work 🤔

Anyone know of a component that would let the user to toggle a switch at desired time, but only once? I found this (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/scheduler-card-custom-component/217458), but it's on daily schedule instead of single activation

[blazing wren]

What are you trying to do?

[simple talon]

Basically an ui component that lets the user to schedule heating for specific time during the night when they're asleep and electricity is cheap

[simple talon]

but non-recurring

[blazing wren]

Have a UI button to run a script which only works in the cheap hours?

[simple talon]

Won't work, my dad wants to choose the heating period manually himself

there may be a fancy automation in the future, but he needs to be able to manually determine the time period

[blazing wren]

Well he can press the button any time. But you'll just have the script stop if it's expensive.

[simple talon]

Yeah, but that's not what he wants

i can achieve it with like two time selectors and a switch helper, but there are almost 20 different switches to control and i kind of don't want to manually configure each and every single one

so i was hoping for a pre-made component

[blazing wren]

Create a group?

[simple talon]

I think i figured it out: this component has an option to turn itself off after running once

[simple basalt]

hi all, can someone give me a hand with my thermostat please?

[hardy ember]

When writing a custom panel is there a way to do something when a value in the hass object has updated?

[polar kelp]

What you want is called a "setter". A function that runs when a property is changed.

[hardy ember]

Is that something I can really do on the hass object (or sub objects) though? Seems a bit hacky rather than subscribing to a value change.

[polar kelp]

Not at all. It's fully documented: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/frontend/custom-ui/creating-custom-panels/#api-reference

A completely new hass object is pushed to the panel by Home Assistant on every change.

[hardy ember]

Ah

[hardy ember]

Hey that worked! Thanks so much.

[sick marlin]

Hi all, not sure what channel is right for this question. I have a custom:button_card that I am trying to add a volume % circle too. (using hass-config button cards as the template.

The button is to turn on and off a pair of speakers. But I want the volume to be representative of the Chromecast Audio that is attached to them.

I have a variable but I can't get it to show the volume and I'm have issues with the syntax.

I have this:

variables:
circle_input: '{{ state_attr("media_player.family_room_stereo", "volume_level") }}'

but is only returns '{{ state_attr("media_player.family_room_stereo", "volume_level") }}' as text.

[dark dirge]

You're trying to use Jinja templates when that card supports JavaScript

There are many examples of templates for that card in the docs

[sick marlin]

that makes sense, thank you,

[violet tinsel]

I have an input select populated with internal names (snakecase) that I'd like to display (have the user select from) a modified set (transformed to sentence case). I haven't found a good way of doing that, short of templating my transformed names and putting in some sort of automation logic to update the underlying input select. Am I missing an easier way of doing this?

[blazing wren]

What is the reason for the input select being snake case?

I would make them sentence/title case and then whenever it changes update an input_text with the snake case version and use that for my automations, assuming the snake case was important.

[violet tinsel]

No particularly strong reason. A carry over from having variables I use in other environments being computer friendly (no spaces, etc.). It's possible the names may get edited over time, leaving the true underlying values static for automations, etc.

[blazing wren]

You could always do something via MQTT instead. But an input select is a list rather than a dictionary of keys and values.

[violet tinsel]

Sounds like the most straightforward way is to use the human readable versions everywhere. 🙂 Thanks!

is it possible for rgb light cards to average the color of the child cards ? (for example if i have a blue and a yellow light to average to green)

i think i've seen this behaviour somewhere but i forgot how it was done 😄

i'm talking about the icon color in the dashboard

[midnight island]

Yellow and blue wouldn't make green, you'd get a greyish color

[strange bough]

ok but how do i get the effect ?

now it just propagates the last color change up the groups tree

if i change one bulb to red all parents get changed to red and it's not very nice to look at in the dashboard 😦

not sure if this should go into hardware or front end, so we'll see who answers first.

I'm trying to get a train timetable set up on a card to fill up most of a screen. There is a card designed for it but it doesn't scale well.

How would I be able to extract this attribute info?

[vast crane]

Markdown card could extract all the attributes and format them into a nice text box just the way you want it. I did a similar thing with my dvr schedule which was just a big attribute glob.
