[upbeat zodiac]

i think it might have something to do with the fact that I have these cards inside a custom swipe card, i pulled out just the button yaml and created a stand alone card and it works on both pc and mobile

Might just be a glitch in the matrix

[blazing wren]

Or the slider might be buggy

[upbeat zodiac]

Yeah it definitely has something to do with the swiper card

[tacit saffron]

Having an annoying issue wondering if anyone knows what may be a solution. My main dashboard consists of may mushroom template cards that I use to be able to color the icons, have badges in certain circumstances, and multiple data presented. Anyway, often times, the icons are blank until I exit the dashboard and go back in. Happens on mobile and desktop

[blazing wren]

What kind of icons are these? If it's a custom icon set then it may not be loading correctly

[tacit saffron]

vs

[tacit saffron]

its a mix, some MDI, some PHU,

[blazing wren]

PHU might be causing the problem

[tacit saffron]

hmm Ill reinstall phu maybe

[upbeat zodiac]

On another note does anyone know how to remove the borders around a card?

I want to remove the lines on the kitchen lights card

[blazing wren]

You mean the title?

[upbeat zodiac]

no, like the lines around each button, kitchen overhead, kitchen sink etc..

[blazing wren]

Well that's CSS, it depends on the card and your theme

[upbeat zodiac]

Oh im not at the CSS level of creating buttons yet

[meager vortex]

I got a script that turns on the water heater for 30 minutes and sends a notification to my phone when it's done.
Is there a way to turn the script activation button into a 30 minute countdown while it's running?

[snow wolf]

You can do that by using ‘card-mod’ that you can find in HACS

Hey, someone did a multiple dashboards with ui-minimalist ? When doing that I have : n.setConfig is not a function. Like the config cannot be set into the apexchart component. Please let me know if someone has an idea 🙌 @polar kelp ?

[fathom schooner]

can the minimalist UI theme be used as desktop UI

?

[meager leaf]

@fathom schooner yes 🙂

Hi There - is there a way to have contextual confirmation text on a button Entity? At the moment im using the following to confirm the action, but would love it to say “Turn On Away Mode?” Or “Turn Off Away Mode?” Depending on the entity status 🙂

tap_action:
action: toggle
confirmation:
text: Toggle Away Mode?

[lucid bronze]

tap_action:
action: toggle
confirmation:
template: "Turn {{ state_attr('away_mode', 'on', 'off') }} Away Mode?"

[golden mist]

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

[thorny echo]

When adjusting lights from the dashboard via the More Info view, is there a way to make it so that changes have a 1 or 2 second fade-in as opposed to doing it right then?

[rose lintel]

Sadly no that doesn't centralise it inside the iframe.

[hidden yoke]

I'm trying to output a train sensor attribute in a markdown card but I don't know how to use the right syntax so I can only show departure times.
This is the current output from the attribute.
[{"departure": "13m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "20m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "28m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "35m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "43m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "52m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "1h 2m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "1h 12m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "1h 23m 56s", "delay": null}]
I just want to display the first 2 departure times.

[dark dirge]

like this?

{% set data = [{"departure": "13m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "20m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "28m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "35m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "43m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "52m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "1h 2m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "1h 12m 56s", "delay": null}, {"departure": "1h 23m 56s", "delay": null}] %}
{{ data[:2]|map(attribute='departure')|list|join(', ') }}

-> 13m 56s, 20m 56s

[hidden yoke]

Would I be able to substitute my sensor attribute into this?
{{states.sensor.mbta_coolidge_corner_to_park_street.attributes.upcoming_departures}}

[dark dirge]

the whole first line is just your data

so, yes

{{ state_attr('sensor.mbta_coolidge_corner_to_park_street', 'upcoming_departures')[:2]|map(attribute='departure')|list|join(', ') }}

[hidden yoke]

That doesn't seem to output anything unfortunately.

[dark dirge]

ok

if the first bit that I gave you above works, then you can debug yours further

[hidden yoke]

The first bit worked but didn't seem to like when I combined them.

[dark dirge]

time to debug

[hidden yoke]

Would departure be an attribute in the output of the attribute upcoming_departures?

Trying a combination of commands in the template.
Currently getting 'str object' has no attribute 'departure'

[blazing wren]

Which integration is this?

Because that will dictate what information is available

[dark dirge]

the data was supposedly up here: #frontend-archived message

I'm suspicious

[hidden yoke]

I have an obscure integration called mbta predictions.

It has a card that will display the info but it doesn't scale well.

[severe cypress]

jeez the ui is so bad for configuring a device
it cuts off half the text
how is it so bad

[blazing wren]

Can you share a link to this integration?

[hidden yoke]

I can get the closest train times through standard entity card but nothing beyond that.

https://github.com/dhanani94/mbta_predictions

This is the card. https://github.com/dhanani94/mbta-card It can read properly but enlarging it is messy and not clean.

[blazing wren]

Define "enlarging" for me

[hidden yoke]

I'm editing the font size with card mod to make it readable from a distance. It ends up bunched together. The vertical lines spill off the card.

[blazing wren]

Well that's more of a styling issue. If you want readable from a distance, consider using a theme based around larger text for that dashboard/view

[hidden yoke]

Didn't think any themes were built around that.

[blazing wren]

I can guarantee someone out there will have made one, at minimum for accessibility

[dark dirge]

Embiggening

[blazing wren]

But as well as increasing the font size, also increate the line height and tweak the padding/margins for the card and for the rows. Consider using it in a panel view instead of one card in a masonry dashboard

[hidden yoke]

A perfectly cromulent definition.

I am using panel view.

[blazing wren]

{% for train in state_attr('sensor.mbta_jfk_umass_to_alewife', 'upcoming_departures') | from_json %}
  {{ train.departure }}
{% endfor %}

[hidden yoke]

What it currently looks like. Forgive the photo but I only have discord on mobile.

[blazing wren]

This works by the way

I installed the integration and configured it using the defaults in the docs.

[hidden yoke]

That in the markdown card?

[blazing wren]

I did it in dev tools, but I suspect it will work in the markdown card too

Bonus mode: {{ train.departure }}{{ train.delay | iif("(delayed "~train.delay~" )", "") }}

Granted none of the options in the examples from GitHub seem to have a delay, so I have no idea what it looks like, but it seemed like a good thing to include.

[hidden yoke]

That works. I've never seen a delay in the card either. Usually says null.

[blazing wren]

Well, either you have exceptionally lucky trains, or the integration is failing to get the data

Though having spent 2 minutes looking at the code for the integration, I bet you can DIY with the RESTful integration: https://api-v3.mbta.com

I've been poking at other transit cards/ integrations trying to see if they would work but they seem to be tailored to their individual transit systems.

What would I need to add to limit to 2?

[blazing wren]

As in you just want the first two predictions returned?

[hidden yoke]

Yes.

[blazing wren]

You can add a limit parameter to the integration 🙂

(At least according to the docs)

(state_attr('sensor.mbta_jfk_umass_to_alewife', 'upcoming_departures') | from_json)[:2], but this works too

[hidden yoke]

Just edited the configuration before I saw that. Sorry for bothering so much. My knowledge is overall patchy and just trying to figure out things as I go.

[blazing wren]

And if I ever visit Massachusetts I now have some transport stuff set up in HA 😂

[hidden yoke]

My goal is to intermittently display the train times on my nest hubs so I have a passive idea of when I should leave for the train.

[blazing wren]

Finger's crossed you get there. I've made a PR to that project to add the template now we figured it out: https://github.com/dhanani94/mbta_predictions/compare/master...RosemaryOrchard:mbta_predictions:patch-1

[hidden yoke]

Thanks. I found a way to cast using a blueprint so I think I'll be fine. A lot of my setup is put together using duct tape.

[blazing wren]

Duct tape is a good starting point, you'll figure it out

[meager leaf]

Still not answer to my question, can someone has an idea ? 😦

[vast crane]

I believe this is fixed in upcoming 2023.01

[severe cypress]

really not a fan of how many buttons you have to click just to get to devices tab

can i remove the energy and map tabs, maybe add a shortcut to devices page?

[dark dirge]

yes

[midnight island]

You can also press C in a browser window and then start typing a page name to jump to it

[hidden yoke]

Is there a trick to fill the full card width in a markdown card? I have a table set up with right justification but there's a huge gap on the right side still.

[thorn birch]

Maybe also worth sharing in here since it’s sort of front end related: Issues with number of decimal places on a Helper Number #energy-archived message

[karmic tendon]

In the css you can put: width: 100%;

[golden mist]

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

[forest abyss]

is there an way to turn on that you first have to put in a code to get in your lovelace dashboard/page? I have an ipad on the wall with hassio on it but my kids can also control it and i don't want them to control everything like the curtains! 😆

[karmic tendon]

Have a look at the hacs 'restriction card'...I use this to prevent accidentally swithing off power plugs (supplying the passccode in the message) but that is just 'me'

[forest abyss]

thanks!

[solid latch]

is it possible to change the color temperature of a light with tile card?

and for some reason I can set the color temperature to a ridiculously high number. My light does not support RGB as well, but the tab is there for some reason.

[vast crane]

Probably warrants a github issue.

[solid latch]

not sure, it only applies to that light which is a cheaper Chinese made one.

all my other lights are not from Chinese brands, except that one that has the issue

I am guessing they cheap out on the firmware and it reports that it supports color while it doesn't. and maybe it reported the wrong max color temperature number as well.

Is there any way to fix it on my side though

[vast crane]

I would look at the developer tools attributes, I think that should have some details about what it supports. Does it have anything like this?

min_color_temp_kelvin: 2000
max_color_temp_kelvin: 9009

[solid latch]

yes, but I think it has the wrong number

and it definitely does not support xy color

is there any way to override this?

[vast crane]

What you maybe could do is create a template light, and then with an automation mirror that template to this light.

The template light could be defined with the correct properties, should make the UI behave better.

Is the bulb through zigbee, a custom integration, ?

[torpid harbor]

Any idea why my garage door turns purple now when the door is open. A couple of weeks ago, it was yellow. I'm just using a standard Button Card:

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
  action: toggle
entity: cover.garage_door
show_state: true

It stands out from all the yellow light bulbs, but I'm curious why it would have changed.

[vast crane]

What version? The colors have been churning a lot throughout December.

[torpid harbor]

Home Assistant 2022.12.8
Frontend 20221213.1 - latest

[midnight island]

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2022/12/07/release-202212/#shiny-new-state-colors

[solid latch]

is it possible to do this without using an automation?

[torpid harbor]

thanks, @vast crane and @midnight island. That seems to be it.
As noted, don't particularly care all that much, one way or the other, was just curious why.

[midnight island]

They basically standardized the colors because they were all over the place before. Now purple means open and grey means closed. My shades are also purple/grey

[vast crane]

I'm not aware of an obvious way to force attributes of an integration provided entity to be something else. Again I ask, through what method is this particular bulb integrated?

[torpid harbor]

It seemed consistent before: grey=off, yellow=on. Just had to remember to think that for a door=open=on which is... weird... at first.

[midnight island]

Yeah I think solving that weirdness was part of the goal. There were other states that didn't make much sense. iirc presence was red/green in the state history

[solid latch]

ZHA

[vast crane]

I haven't tried this, but it might be a way. I would consider this somewhat advanced. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-setup-local-zha-quirks/341226

Otherwise you might go file an issue here: https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues

If this value is wrong for this bulb model, ZHA can override it with a quirk.

[strange bough]

hey guys any idea how i can make the mushroom light card default to the color slider instead of the brightness one ?

is there any state variable i can set with card mod or something like that ?

[blazing wren]

Default as in always use? Per card it's show_color_control: true

[strange bough]

i looked at the code it defaults to the first entry in the active controls, that is brightness because of the way the code is written https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/main/src/cards/light-card/light-card.ts#L157 i'm interseted if i can change that behaviour

[blazing wren]

You can't change the order of the controls for your lights. No.

[strange bough]

sad 😦

[vast crane]

File an issue or a PR if you want to see a change. If you've found the relevant line of code, you're already halfway there 👍

[strange bough]

writing the code wouldn't be hard , but i'm not sure how you go about developing on these things 😄

[dark dirge]

Fortunately, there's a whole site for that

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/frontend/

[strange bough]

thank you will take a look ❤️

[lucid bronze]

how do I do this think got a wrong indentation or something entity: light.baby_room secondary_info: '{{ states.sensor.hue_motion_sensor_1_temperature.state }}°C'

[blazing wren]

Secondary info should be an attribute name in most cases. Not a template.

Also, states. will error at startup, use states('sensor.hue_motion_sensor')

[lucid bronze]

can it be an attribute of a diffrenty entity?

E.g Light but want secondary to be temperture of device in that room

I assume I have do add this into my config to put the attribute into the entity then I can display it like ```light:

• platform: template
  lights:
  living_room:
  friendly_name: Living Room Light
  value_template: "{{ is_state('light.living_room', 'on') }}"
  turn_on:
  service: light.turn_on
  entity_id: light.living_room
  turn_off:
  service: light.turn_off
  entity_id: light.living_room
  secondary_info:
  sensor.hue_motion_sensor_1_temperature:
  attribute: temperature
  unit_of_measurement: '°F'

[blazing wren]

That won't work. Secondary info can't be another device unless you're using a custom card/similar. Thomas Loven has one for entity rows I believe.

[lucid bronze]

Thanks got it Secondary Info is off entity only

will go use this https://github.com/benct/lovelace-multiple-entity-row

Taa 🙂

Hey guys,
does someone know if it is possible to add a Graph to a group ?
i would like to add the temp sensor as graph to my climate group, so i can see the difference better, is that possible ?

How to use the URL in the View to show the energy dashboard? Since im hiding the sidebar

[meager leaf]

trying again if someone knows this issue : Hey, someone did a multiple dashboards with ui-minimalist ? When doing that I have : n.setConfig is not a function. Like the config cannot be set into the apexchart component. Please let me know if someone has an idea 🙌

[blazing wren]

Do you mean a card? The entities card can have a graph in the header or the footer

[blazing wren]

Did you try opening an issue (or checking the issues) on this card/theme?

[stone crown]

Yeah but the graph is "unlabeled" in the header of the entities card.

my Goal was it to add a graph to:

Thats the normal group card.

The issue with my card management is, that the should temp comes from another sensor and not from the E1

[meager leaf]

No I did not, just wanted to debug, it hpns only when using multiple dashboard, can be a strategy missing from the card ?

[blazing wren]

So add your own chart and put them together in a stack 😉

[blazing wren]

Yes, it could be.

[meager leaf]

You have an idea how to integrate strategy with UI-minimalist to debug it ? 🙂

[blazing wren]

I don't use that at all

[meager leaf]

A way to debug perhaps ? 🙂

[blazing wren]

As I've never used that card or seen a problem like that, no

This is why I suggested opening an issue on that repo

The people who use it and develop are those best suited to help you debug

[meager leaf]

Oh shit, thanks for your replies I will do that 🙂

hi there, I'm newbie to HA and I am struggling to get some "basic" stuff working. Right now I am trying to install this theme https://github.com/basnijholt/lovelace-ios-themes and have it working but I am stuck in the automation section from the README since I do not know where to add those inputs, can I get some help?

I also don't know where to enable the newly installed theme 🤔

[rough stream]

Hi, in the docs I see this message: https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/setup/custom_cards/

Since the release of v1.1.0 support has been build in to select custom/community cards that are available in the main branch on our Github Repository in the custom_cards folder. This Removes the need for copying over files from the Github Repo and put them in the /config/ui_lovelace_minimlist/custom_cards folder.
How can I reference them in a yaml file without copying?

[karmic tendon]

HI, to be horribly honest, I use this channel for techy stuff and do not have the time for basics.... but I do know that people on the HA forum are a lot nicer than me 🙂 Try there https://community.home-assistant.io/

[vapid field]

Hello all !
I've looked around for an answer but maybe I'm missing the obvious here.. : can we use the long-term stats in lovelace (apart from the stats graph?) like the whole time energy from a shelly PM device ? (that resets everyday)

I've seen I can use stuff from the recorder (history?) but it only keeps a fews days worth of data..

[karmic tendon]

Yeah, history is in line with your recorder, usually 10 days max. For graphs I have seen that plotly allows to dig into statistics....but from where I am standing, not a lot

[vapid field]

I catually do not want graph, in that case, the sensor is coming from the shelly integration, energy in kWh, that gets reset everyday (by the device), so the only way to keep the total is via the long-term data, which I get, as bars for the daily consumption graph... but all I want is how much kWh from the beginning, seems simple though impossible to get 🙂

[karmic tendon]

it is not impossible but you have to create a SQL sensor and dig into the db. Often it is easier to create a new sensor on the side, here you can e.g. use utility meter for day/week/month

[vapid field]

alright I'll endup doing that then 😅
I have influx and grafana but though I ditch all those now long-term stat has been around for a while
maybe I can have a look at the source of the stat graph, see how it gets its data ?

[karmic tendon]

With influx/grafana you can achieve most (?) of what you need...but just as a dashboard and not for re-use in HA (you know that )

it depends a bit on what you want, ploty helped me a bit(!) but not with all graphs...let-alone the data itself, hence new sensors (not bad, jst tons of them)

[vapid field]

yep

actually, after looking at the source of statistic-graph, I thought, ok I just need one number, so let's look at the source of the entity card

and I "stumbled" on the statistic card... which displays only one stat...which is what I'm looking for, so it was there all along ^^

sorry for the bother !

it has to be a separate card though, cannot be one number withing the entities card for example

type: statistic
entity: sensor.energy_consumption
period:
  fixed_period:
stat_type: change

[karmic tendon]

as long as it is a card/graph one is largely covered, if you want to use statistics data for other purposes .... less easy

[heavy warren]

I am using vertical stack to use multiple cards but want them to appear to be a single card, is there a way with card-mod that I can remove the gaps between cards?

I already tried adding padding-top, padding-bottom, margin-top & margin-bottom to the style for ha-card

scratch that, I forgot to put them in :host

[worn solstice]

How did do it? Can you share your yaml?

Interesting, I achieved the same look without that haha

[supple bear]

Is anyone aware of a ui slider that when linked to things like the brightness of a light, applies the value continuously as the slider is held/dragged rather than applying when the slider is released. I watched a few people in our house use a mounted HA tablet over the holidays and i notice many found it a little clunky with the default sliders which only apply on release, leading to the user performing hold, drag, release, hold, drag, release, until they reach the desired value.

[median nova]

@supple bear I just noticed the same behaviour yesterday when I slid a slider whose value changes are monitored by an AppDaemon app - as I moved the slider I received about 10 TTS Announcements (as the AppDaemon app processed the changes) before I even released the mouse button

[supple bear]

Oh nice. Whats the name of it. Ill use it for lights / some volume sliders i have set up. Cheers!

As much as i dont like to use google homes ui, this continuous slider was something i liked when i do use it.

[median nova]

What I'm saying is that the native slider already seems to exhibit this behaviour - is appears to send updates to the backend before mouse/touch release

[supple bear]

Oh, hmm ill check why its not working for me. Perhaps its the slider in certain views that doesnt do it. I just tested clicking the name of a light on my dashboard and on the page where it shows the name, brightness, colorwheel. The slider here for example doesnt update a lights brightness until finger release, right? Im testing on the android app btw.

Same for me for the new tile slider when used for light brightness. Only updates on finger release.

The tile for example still says '100%' under the light name as i have it dragged to about 50 but not released yet. It seems neighter the light or % text updates until release. Is it android specific i wonder.

[wise spindle]

Hey Guys, I am a total noob at home assistant but gettig there, i am trying to create a custom sensor but keep getting the following error.
Invalid config for [sensor]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 15).

My sensor.yaml only contains a single entry.
`template:

• sensor:
  • name: "BYD Battery Watt Hours"
    unit_of_measurement: "Wh"
    platform: "state"
    device_class: "energy"
    state_class: "measurement"
    state: >-
    {{ (states('sensor.byd_battery_box_premium_hv_current_dc') | float) * (states('sensor.byd_battery_box_premium_hv_voltage_dc') | float) }}`

[dark dirge]

What is 'platform' doing there?

It doesn't belong there

This is an #integrations-archived topic, not #frontend-archived BTW

[wise spindle]

omg sorry

I removed platform but still throws the same error

[dark dirge]

Seems doubtful

Oh, you can't put template: into sensor.yaml

That goes in configuration.yaml

[wise spindle]

ah okay

[dark dirge]

The whole thing doesn't belong in sensors.YAML

Move it all to configuration.yaml

- drop-shadow(0px 0px 6px rgb(128,0,0) drop-shadow(0px 0px 6px rgb(128,0,0) but it does not seem to work no more

[vivid trout]

colors work fine drop-shadow(0px 0px 6px red) drop-shadow(0px 0px 6px red) to make color more bold but not anything else

[fiery ledge]

long time since I visited my media_player view, to find out my auto-entities card config with filter: include: - domain: media_player state: /playing|paused|'on'/ options: type: custom:hui-media-control-card does not show any card and renders emtpy (and even kicks in the new else: parameter (thank you Thomas!), where commenting the options: section shows correctly

changing the filter to: - domain: media_player.* makes no difference, so it must be the type: custom:hui-media-control-card ?

Hi
How to integrate ptz on frigate card?

[gusty salmon]

Hey! In the "add helpers" menu in the configuration I don't have a "group" option. I can add "toggle" and "text" and other helpers, what do I need to do to add a group via the UI?

[midnight island]

Is your HA out of date? Group helpers were added back in April

[gusty salmon]

Indeed it is, I thought I'd updated the Docker container, apparently not. Thanks!

[midnight island]

With that big of a version jump, you have a higher likelihood of running into breaking changes. Ideally you should check all of the release notes from whatever version you're on up to the current one

[jade sable]

Google has decided that my home assistant frontend is a deceptive malware site and broken mobile web access and android app access. Has anyone else faced this?

[dire pewter]

Seems like Energy dashboard cannot be set as default dashboard, do you know if that is a design decision or it just haven’t been implemented?

[gusty salmon]

I usually just risk it, not that complicated a setup. Seems to be fine except for some minor things. 🙂

Is there consensus on displaying dashboards on amazon show devices? I've seen various issues with certain versions, etc.

[scarlet hazel]

Hello. I’ve been banging my head against the wall a little trying to get a UI navigation tap to do two separate things. I’d like it to trigger a script, and then navigate to a different page after tapping on the item. I've searched a few places, but still haven't found the correct path to follow in achieving this goal. This code below doesn’t work (because you can't have two actions it seems), but it shows my intent:

    ...some UI card...
    tap_action:
      - action: navigate
        navigation_path: /lovelace/0
      - action: call-service
         service: script.do_a_thing

Can I either get something like this to work, or can I make a script change the dashboard page?

[midnight island]

Tiles can have 2 actions, for tapping on the tile or tapping on the icon

[dark dirge]

https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod/blob/master/documentation/services.md can help with navigation, but it adds quite a bit of complexity

[scarlet hazel]

Great. Thank you both.

[marble raft]

hey y'all, I'm trying to add the custom button card from https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card via HACS but can't seem to find it. It says it's not maintained anymore but still listed as HACS supported. Am I missing something or is this card dead?

[dark dirge]

It's there and working fine

[marble raft]

Oh I already have it installed haha wow nevermind

[marble raft]

Anyone familiar with custom button-card that can help me with state colors? Documentation/older forum posts show examples like:

• border: solid 1px var(--button-card-light-color-no-temperature)

but this doesn't work in my case. The only thing that works for me is hardcoding a color like 'solid 1px red' and then it shows red when the state is 'on' as expected. I'm using a YAML template if that makes a difference

[marble raft]

Hmmm this actually appears to be a pretty deeply embedded issue related to the recent change to color states in 2022.12 - I can't seem to figure out how to get the current entities color/hue to use with custom button cards to control state color. Anybody have a workaround to this issue?

[vivid trout]

var(--button-card-light-color)

[grave wave]

does someone know a colorpicker card for the HA dashboard which does not open a popup for changing the color? I want the colorpicker without having to open the card beforehand

[marble raft]

This one doesn't work either. None of the CSS variables built into custom button card seem to work correctly after 2022.12 came out which changed some things about state colors

[marble raft]

I'm trying to troubleshoot/fix the button-card colors after 2022.12, I've downloaded the source and am trying to step through the code to see where it's failing. I'm newer to HA from a dev perspective though, can someone tell me how/if I can check the current value of attributes for an entity in HA UI? Specifically I'm looking at the rgb_color attribute of lights right now

HASL Departure Lovelace Card

[lunar pawn]

Hi ho! I have a weird issue, and it might just because I don't understand how things work in HA. Anyway, i'm configuring this card: https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/usage/cards/card_scenes/?h=scene

But if I define anything less than the 7 entities then I see a bunch of console errors. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to define an empty entity or something? Or is it an issue with the template itself?

[unkempt kernel]

UI bug, cant send/delete remote commands by UI due to checkbox missing

yaml works

[vast crane]

I would have thought the checkbox missing just implies that Command is mandatory. I think checkbox would imply that it was an optional parameter for that service call? What's on the right side of the screen?

[unkempt kernel]

youre right but oh gawd... if you change commands, it leaves the command text filled but wont work unless you delete and retype the command.

[vivid trout]

fixed it for some reason you need to add a extra ) on end of it so for my example - filter: >-
drop-shadow(0px 0px 5px var(--button-card-light-color))
drop-shadow(0px 0px 25px var(--button-card-light-color))
drop-shadow(0px 0px 35px var(--button-card-light-color))
drop-shadow(0px 0px 60px var(--button-card-light-color))

[vivid trout]

which allowed this https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/87599807/210382706-7d4f6c93-1a9a-4aec-8b26-7efacc2daef1.gif

I was going to say that you're probably looking at it right now 🙂

Like right now I'm looking at HA on full-kiosk on my TV and this card isn't displaying, but on my laptop it is...

Same issue seems to be present with auto-entities

[golden sky]

Is there a domain for light groups? I’m using auto-entities to show entities in the light domain, and trying to figure out how to exclude light groups. Excluding the group domain doesn’t work.

https://pastebin.com/kv3NkZGv

[dark dirge]

light. is the domain for light groups. They look just like a normal light, but with an entitity_id attribute that contains a list of the members

you could include the light domain and exclude the entity_id: attribute based on this:

attributes: Map of attribute: value pairs to match.

I guess. Or you could write a template that just outputs the ones you want

[golden sky]

Let me try that first. Templates scare me lol

[dark dirge]

how on earth do you expect to transition to a higher plane of existence without embracing templates?

{{ states.light|rejectattr('attributes.entity_id', 'defined')|map(attribute='entity_id')|list }}

*stack-in-card, sorry

[jaunty frost]

Anyone know a card similar to mushroom entity card that allows me to show more than 2 informations? I would like to show state, last changed, and name in a single card (for my motion sensor) if possible. Now I can only show 2 of the 3 as primary and secondary information

[past notch]

after installing card-mod, it does not update to fit the theme which supports it. It just stays default. HACS also does not add the cards that I installed. Any ideas why?

[blazing wren]

Did you clear your cache?

[golden sky]

Not sure of a card that does that (other than Mushroom) but what if you did a horizontal stack for each entity with two tile cards side by side, or alternatively with a tile card + button card? One for the icon and name, the other for state and last changed? Use a theme to remove the borders so it looks like a single card.

Come to think of it I’m not sure if either tile or button card can show just two secondary states and skip the icon and primary info. You’ll need to confirm.

Hi Linanck. I have exactly the same issue and despite posting 2 requests for help on the Home Assistant forum for the Mitsubishi Melcloud Integration have had no response. Here's what I posted: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mitsubishi-melcloud-integration-with-home-assistant/26275/500 In particular I want to be able to access the controls for the horizontal as well as the vertical vanes (Vertical Vanes seems to be equivalent to Swing Mode). Were you able to make any progress since your post here in November?

[compact hamlet]

Anyone reason why the edit in yaml for dashboards would stop working?

[blissful finch]

For something like this (https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/usage/custom_cards/custom_card_drealine_roomview/#requirements), where would I put the template code? I found this path \config\custom_components\ui_lovelace_minimalist_ui_minimalist_\ulm_templates\card_templates\cards But there are a ton of other paths that look very similar so I'm not sure where it would go.

[crisp cairn]

Hi all. I'd like to use card_mod to change the temperature color to red if the sensor is offline. I'm having a really hard time getting the syntax right.

entities:
  - entity: sensor.water_room_temp
  - entity: sensor.pool_room_temp
  - entity: sensor.bears_den_temp
card_mod:
  style: |-
    hui-generic-entity-row:
          $: |
            .text-content:not(.info) {
              color:
                iif(is_state('sensor.water_room_offline', '1'), 'red', 'blue') }}
               ;
            }```

That is where I'm at right now. Rob helped with the template line

the offline sensor gives me a 1 if it's offline and a 0 if it's online

[golden mist]

@crisp cairn To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

Windows 11 with either Firefox or edge both had it. Cleared cache and still no luck.

I've seen some text boxes disappear on my iPhone, but others weren't seeing it and I just assumed it was the iOS build on my phone

anyway, it's a completely different platform and may be unrelated

[dark dirge]

again, this is wrong:
{% if states('sensor.water_room_offline', '1') %}

it hasn't gotten righter 🙂

here's a similar example from the docs:

        card_mod:
          style: |
            ha-card {
              background:
                {% if is_state('light.bed_light', 'on') %}
                  teal
                {% else %}
                  purple
                {% endif %}
                ;
            }

what I suggested is just a condensed version of that, but with the same effect

[crisp cairn]

So sorry Rob. That works, thank you! However it's just the temperature itself I would like to change.

Got it working. Thank you for your patience with me @dark dirge. Very much appreciated!

Hello

I do not know if this is the right place for this, but there are translation errors in french and I would like to help correcting them

My problem is that I could not find neither where the code is nor how to send a patch

[vast crane]

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/translations

[wispy urchin]

I already read this, but that is not clear enough to me

[vast crane]

I haven't done it, but I presume you're supposed to click the link to join a "Lokalize" team, and translation updates are handled through that website. Did you sign up for one of those?

[wispy urchin]

No, I did not. Having to start a trial to contribute made me think I was doing something wrong. What if I want to contribute once again in one or two months ?

But i will try if that is the only way

Then I will hurry up 😄

[vast crane]

Huh, yeah you're right that's not intuitive :\ I saw something to the effect that Lokalize is free for open source projects, maybe the signup link is assuming you're going to host your own project. Anyway I assume you'll never be asked to pay to contribute to translations...

Hello Marcus. Sadly no. Part of my request was also - like you - to be able to access easily both vertical and horizontal vanes, without success.
It's a pain but since Home Assistant seems not 100% customizable i'm still using the MEL Cloud app, even if it's laggy...

[cinder stag]

Hi Linanck, I think the problem with Home Assistant is that it IS 100% customisable - if you know how and that too much prior knowledge is assumed so the learning curve is very steep! I'll keep plugging away on the MelCloud HA forum until I get somewhere, but in the meantime I've been using the Amazon Alexa Skill from Mitsubishi and it's definitely a step up from the MelCloud app. As you no doubt know, you can create as many scenes as you like in the MelCloud app and those appear in the Alexa app and you can then use Alexa routines to add to the scenes in various ways so if you haven't tried it, I recommend you give it a try. I'll let you know if I find out how to configure Home Assistant to do what we want...

I’m trying to make something that looks like a SWAKES Sensor counter, but I can’t figure it out by myself.

I want to count the number of entities within a group that I have and show also how many of them are in the ‘On’ state
For example:
I have group.cameras with 3 entities of my cameras, 2 of them are ‘On’ state and 1 is ‘Off’ state
So I want to show up in my dashboard 3/2 (3 is the total number of entities within the group, and 2 is the number of ‘On’ devices within the group).

How do I do that? I want to count my lights and some devices I have.

Thanks for help

[golden spindle]

got it. simply add a dashboard manually with a website panel

[vast crane]

#templates-archived can help you write a template that counts the number of entities in a certain state. You could then use a markdown card to display custom templated text.

thank you for that. lets say i want to creat a card. am going to get the variables from the home assitant docs . and follow the guied ? are they the keys predefined ?

screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/nrGU2Zm

I'm using a vibration/tilt sensor on the mailbox door, and it doesn't have a simple output, so I have an automation to change the state of that input_text helper based on x, y, z angles, then announce it via media player.

doing similar things with garage door vibration/tilt sensors, so this would help that as well. Do I need to create a custom entity maybe? Looks like it's possible, but another rabbit hole to go down.. 😆

[empty owl]

@worn void Glance card is okay for kind of read-only

or custom:mushroom-entity-card

why you want to have an input_text helper before announce to media_player ?

Btw, it's exactly what my wife is asking to me about having something into the house mailbox when post is putted somethings. I never thing about vibration but I have one zigbee vibration device here that could be do the job. Just need to put in a waterproof protection somehow

[green raft]

I think it's time for me to completely overhaul my interface for HA. I built each tab around house-wide functions, rather than building tabs for rooms. On reflection after having a basically unchanged interface for a whole year, the most frequent things you will want to do manually with an interface will all be for a specific room. Is there a forum/reddit thread with mobile-first UI inspiration?

[empty owl]

@green raft take a look at https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/

[green raft]

Definitely looks like a good start, thanks!

[limber walrus]

hey all, does anyone know what the name for the little flame icon is?

related: how do I make it bigger?

also related: or add it to an icon that doesnt have one?

[worn void]

I'll check those out, thank you

[worn void]

just to be able to have a place to display status that isn't just x/y/z values - they don't translate obviously at a glance, especially since the sensor's x/y/z values are based on if you had mounted it on a flat horizontal surface, not a vertical one like a mailbox door or garage door: Sensor-y is real-z, sensor-z is real-y if you mount it on a vertical surface.

So when I set the helper text, that can be read back using Google devices or phone voice agent: "Mailbox is {open/closed}" instead of "Mailbox Y value is 87%" or similar.

I can also use the helper value to differentiate between status changes a bit more easily when building automation logic

[karmic tendon]

What card is this? I donot have this icon so possibly you installed something I donot have and I actually like to icon

[limber walrus]

It’s a mushroom temperature card, but also shows up on person cards and some others

[worn void]

I think it depends on your mailbox, most are pretty weatherproof, and the Aqara vibration sensors can tolerate pretty cold weather. I've had mine in there (inside of the door flap) for a few weeks now and it's been between rainy and snowy the entire time, no issues at all, and I put a bit of bathroom caulking over the battery compartment edges + pairing button so moisture can't get in, but the button is still functional. Replacing the battery just requires a few seconds of peeling with your fingernails to pull the caulk right off.

Only problem I've had is the mailman sometimes opens+closes the door so quickly (<1 second) that the sensor doesn't record the angle change. The vibration sensor notes it, but strong gusts of wind can also trip vibration detection. Trying to find a nice way to balance it to reduce false positives.

Should also clarify that I chose the tilt/vibration sensor because we had a truck with a trailer turn around in front of our house and something caught our mailbox and ruined it + bent the post, only know from the tire marks. I have a separate project to get one of those ESP32 camera kits up to take high-res photos of different events in different locations - I plan to have vibration and motion events trigger the camera to take shots.

[karmic tendon]

I donot have these...what is the intergration? or is it HACS?

[limber walrus]

Mushroom theme integration is through HACS yeah.

[karmic tendon]

installed it but I cannot see any icon that resembles yours, how do your card-settings show? Or did this come via mushroom theme?

[empty owl]

@worn void Thank you for the notice. I already put the aqara vibration sensor some hours from now 🙂 . I'm also having strong wind. I will not check those attributes about angle but may be use another value about vibration weight (vibrationstrength) reported by deconz

[limber walrus]

I believe it came via mushroom theme. The icons show up for people, too. I'll include a screenshot one sec.

[karmic tendon]

whatever I do... donot have this, I do see the icons in them but no clue how this is activated, mushroom is totally new for me too

[limber walrus]

Alrighty, thanks for checking it out!

[karmic tendon]

the doc says that one should not need MR Themease form 2022.11

from

I am on 2022.12.8 and I did install the cards...but ... nothing of sorts....and now this is bugging me 🤨

[cedar tapir]

Thanks, will update you also if someday I research again on this topic.
I don't have any smart device at home. I waited to have my own server to host everything, not a big fan of relying on third parties services from personal/home usage. I will build for sure a personal voice assistant later on 🙂
HA being 100% customizable is a good news, but if there is no doc/no help to find the right conf file to modify, well, it's not worth it 😒
Again, some day I will look again into it, when all my AC will have a wifi module

Speaking of, I want to try to bypass completely Mitsubishi and keep everything local. I saw stuff like this : https://chrdavis.github.io/hacking-a-mitsubishi-heat-pump-Part-1/
https://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?p=62020
https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Plugin/P093.html
Maybe you'll be interested in

I'll try building one first and if it works I will do all my AC's

[tired star]

"mdi:fire" is the icon name. To add the icon to another card, it needs to have a configuration slot labelled icon. For example, I added the flame icon that you are using to an alarm control panel in the image.

I am not sure how you can resize icons, but the Mushroom Github may have some answers: https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom

[karmic tendon]

Thanks... and I got that icon but what was shown before is a mix of 'thermostat' and 'fire' and I just cannot find out how this would work

[tired star]

Sorry, what is the issue? Do you want the icon to change under certain circumstances?

[karmic tendon]

If you look at the screenshot of the OP then you will see a combined icon #frontend-archived message

I would like to have this option too but seems to be mushroom specific ? and MR I donot know (yet)

[twin canopy]

Afternoon all. Not sure Frontend is the right place to start with this one, but here goes! Forget that. iPad had lost wifi.

[candid ridge]

Here is my current version

looks like this

http://i.geekie.no/t4fpiMy.png Office and Living room has this popup when sun icon is pressed

http://i.geekie.no/95cLQGw.png and tv has this

ill share an updated version when I have it

have some issues like simple icons not showing up on phone and such I need to figure out...

@worn solstice

[worn solstice]

Thank you! Great job! What is the theme name you are using?

[candid ridge]

ios-dark-mode-blue-red-alternative from https://github.com/basnijholt/lovelace-ios-themes

[worn solstice]

Awesome, I use the Google theme customized but I am thinking to try this one

[candid ridge]

but card backgrounds etc is done with card-mod

to make them transparent

i currently put them in every card, but might change it down the line in the theme code itself

[worn solstice]

You can do it in the theme yaml so you don't have to add it for each cards

That's what I have done

You got it

[candid ridge]

yeah, ill do it later once i know what I want, but currently transparent works, I override it for lights when active and stuff

will also change the slider designs to be cleaner, just need to figure out if i wanna split them in two like now or just use the buttom of each row for it

[worn solstice]

It's a never-ending configuration. As soon as I see a new dashboard that I like better I change everything again

[candid ridge]

looks better than my test dashboard 🥲

But also wanna play around with multi pages for stuff like device info about computers/phones etc

[worn solstice]

Oh the 3d floor plan is on my list too

I got the software to create the house 3d images

[candid ridge]

yeah, but its bugged on my phone, wont display image. so need to figure that out

[worn solstice]

But I have a family And they want to see me every now and then 🤣

[candid ridge]

I'm gonna draw house in blender eventually

gonna sell the house in a year or two so wanna have a website setup for a 3d tour of the house haha

with address as domain and then all documentation listed there

[worn solstice]

Smart 😄

[vapid field]

Hello everyone,
Probably really easy but I could not find any recent topic how to set this up. I would like to put several temperature and humidity sensors in one card in Lovelace.
The sensor card does not let me add more than one sensor. Is there a way to accomplish this? I remember a long time ago (when I last used HA) there was a history function that could accomplish this. @candid ridge I just saw you have something like that in your frontend 🙂. Maybe you can help me?

Thank you all

[candid ridge]

I use swipe cards for it with mini graph cards

But do u want to have both temp and humidity on one graph?

[vapid field]

No only different temperatures and different humidities respectively. No need to mix

[candid ridge]

Swipe cards are the way to go then

[golden mist]

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

[candid ridge]

here is the yaml I use

[leaden island]

How do I override the tap_acion that shows more info to take me to a device info page instead?

[leaden island]

There has to be a more elegant way then me stealing the url from another view

[golden sky]

Is there a way to get a combined count of open doors and garage doors? Not sure how to proceed since they're different domains.

[pearl marsh]

With a #templates-archived you could create a sensor with that info

[cinder stag]

Yes, that stuff about building a local solution does look very interesting so please do keep me posted if you get something working. By the way, I noticed that your screen shots from your earlier posts were in French - does this mean that you're located in France? that's where I'm located (although I'm not French). I currently have one Mitsubishi Air/Air units with two more due shortly so it would be nice to end up with a good solution...

[brisk canopy]

Hey!
I have an input_number sensor, i would like to show the value of this sensor in the name on an lovelace card, does anyone know if and how this could be done?
Thanks

[karmic tendon]

You could try the hacs 'card templater' which often works but also...often does not.

[brisk canopy]

Problem is, i would like to apply it to a apexcharts-card, in the name

type: custom:apexcharts-card
header:
  show: true
  title: Elpris + Drifttid VVB [input.boolean.value.here]

Something like this is my plan..

[cedar tapir]

Yup I'm french, located on France 🙂
I'm handling 5 AC's ("console" in french) with the remote as they are sold without the wifi receiver. I have 2 other AC's (split unit) that came with the Mitsubishi wifi receiver.
Either way it's either tidious (remote) or slow (MEL Cloud app), that's why I will look in the near future for the local solution. Will keep you updated whit the results.

[karmic tendon]

Then I would advise you to raise it here .. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/apexcharts-card-a-highly-customizable-graph-card/272877

it is a huge thread and thus your question may get lost but still..this is where a lot of Apex interested people look at

[brisk canopy]

Yeah, already scanned that thread hehe.. but i will look at it 🙂 Thought there was some "general" way of doing it in a lovelace card

[karmic tendon]

Get it... trying the same things, sometimes it is core HA and sometimes it is custom

[meager vortex]

Hey, noob question. I have a conditional card that is usually hidden unless some device is turned on.
I want a manual button that reveals the hidden card for, say, 20 seconds.
I made a timer helper of 20s, and made it (!=0) one of the conditions for the hidden card, but now I can't figure out for the life of me how to start said timer.

[dark dirge]

It's an integration with documentation

[celest obsidian]

Anyone have a minute to help me figure out how to get 'Overview' dashboard working again? Right now it's completely empty

I got the bright idea of creating a dashboard and starting with an empty dash. Added a single light, saved it and it worked. Removed it from the dash and saved again, then decided I wanted to switch back to the main dash from before I attempted to create one. It no longer exists :/

I thought 'Overview' was a system default dash that couldn't be modified or changed, so I'm not sure how I ended up erasing everything on it

I currently am using a temporary dash that I added without selecting an empty page. Managed to set it as default for my desktop and my phone, but any other device that tries to connect will get my blank 'overview' page

[muted oasis]

@celest obsidian do you have a saved backup you could go back to?

[celest obsidian]

I don't, unfortunately.

Is there a yaml somewhere that has all the current dashboard settings saved in it that I can copy/paste

I've been looking through all the config files on my HA setup and see nothing about dashboards yet

I did find the raw editing mode

Copied my working dash to the original overview dash

That seems to have worked, but I don't know if it will continue to add new items to the dash as I add them to my setup

I guess time will tell

[sullen heron]

so I'm using auto entities and I have some things show up multiple times. What can I do do remove the duplicates?

This all happened after I was trying out changing the "shown as" section

there is also another shelly entry way up the list shown ass offline/unavailable

[celest obsidian]

Was trying to use Home Assistant Cast from Nabu Casa to display my HA setup on a Nest Hub 2nd gen. Not going well. THe demo of it works, but when I attempt to connect it to my HA, I get nothing but the HA icon, a heart, and the NabuCasa icon.

[mossy otter]

I am trying to use media_player.select_source to change the source on my spotify/alexa media player. It isn't working at all. However, when I do it from the frontend it does seem to work. Is this calling a different service?

[brisk canopy]

This is the solution, if anyone else is reading and wondering... 🙂

entities:
  - input_number.vvb_drifttid
card:
  type: custom:apexcharts-card
  header:
    show: true
    title: >-
      ${{'Elpris + Drifttid VVB '+states
      ['input_number.vvb_drifttid'].state+'h'}}

[supple bear]

Does anyone use the custom banner-card frontend banner https://github.com/nervetattoo/banner-card#css-vars-for-theming

I have found the way to change the heading size, using the banner-card-heading-size css variable. It works on mobile chrome, PC chrome, HA web app but not when the HA Dashboard is cast to a device like a Nest Hub Max. Does anyone know why? Does casting not include the required css elements or something strange like that.

[median nova]

Does using unique: true remove the duplicates?

[jaunty frost]

Is it possible to find my existing dashboard as yaml and then build it frm there or do I have to start from "scratch" in yaml mode?

[upper heath]

hey
I would like to create a page for a user. The user should only be able to look at it, but should not be allowed to press on it.
In addition, only this page should be displayed to the user. I was able to hide all other dashboards, but he still has access to the energy dashboard, shopping list, media, logbook, history and the map. How can I revoke the user's permission?

[leaden island]

Anyone know where documentation is on the navigate tap_action? Trying to tap and go to a device view.

[kind cliff]

@jaunty frostIs it possible to find my existing dashboard as yaml and then build it frm there or do I have to start from "scratch" in yaml mode?
If you click the three dots in upper right or your current dashboard, select edit, then click the three dots in upper right again and select Raw Configuration Editor it will take you to your yaml.
Copy the whole thing, then create a new dashboard, repeat the three-dot process and paste.
I think!

@upper heathhe still has access to the energy dashboard, shopping list, media, logbook, history and the map.
Hmmm. I recently setup a tablet with a new dashboard and a new user. While logged in as that user, I selected the user profile at the bottom, then "Change the order and hide items from the sidebar" and was able to "X" everything except the dashboard including those you mentioned. The user will still be able to access the same sequence and re-enable them though. I'm thinking maybe have a look at Fully Kiosk? Hope that helps!

[upper heath]

he can access the sidebar and click on the cards. With search he can access literally all entitys

How can i change that?

I have managed to hide the sidebar and lock all unwanted pages, but remains the possibility to click the cards and access the search. In addition, the user can still view the pages again via its settings

[kind cliff]

@upper heath Did you click "D" at the bottom of the sidebar?
Select EDIT in "Change the order and hide items from the sidebar"
then click "X" beside each item to remove them from sidebar.
Once "X"'d they change to "+" and don't show in the sidebar after that...

[upper heath]

yeah, it looks like that

[kind cliff]

@upper heath
I've not tried to do what you're trying to do, sorry...

[upper heath]

oh ok, thanks anyway

[lapis tundra]

I am looking for the setting that logs users off after 5 minutes or so of activity, but I can't find it.
In case I am going about this wrong, here are the details. I use a tablet on a wall with Fully Kiosk Browser. It is an older tablet, and kinda slow. Whenever I walk in front of the tablet, it says at the bottom "reconnecting" After googling the best answer I could find was that HA is logging the user off. So I need to change this to turn it off, or set it to a crazy amount of time.

[sullen heron]

I solved it by just deleting the one that showed as offline which didn't affect the online one. And solved the other ones reconfiguring them and restarting

[sullen heron]

I have another problem though.

I have the "UI Lovelace Minimalist" and "Energy" Tabs stuck on my sidebar and cant find a way to remove them. How would I do that?

[midnight island]

https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/profile/

I have installed the HACS addon, when I try to add an frontend repository I get the following info:

"After the download completes, since you are not using Lovelace in storage mode you need to manually add the resource with these settings"

Why do I want to have storage mode enabled or not. And how do I accomplice this?

[faint vortex]

Hey, is there anything I can use to make the font smaller here where it says "Operati.." so the entire text is displayed?

It's an entity card

[blazing wren]

Card Mod would let you adjust the styling: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod

[median nova]

To remove any item from the sidebar - click and hold on the text that says 'Home Assistant' at the top of the sidebar to bring it into edit mode - click 'x' to remove any item (can be restored later) - click 'Done' once complete

[worthy falcon]

Does anyone know of a way to display something like this based on a text sensor in Lovelace?

I'm trying to emulate a specific display

Oled font?

I suppose I could use multiple images based on the value of the sensor....

[worthy falcon]

Ok, I found a font that works. How on earth do you load local TTF fonts for use in Lovelace?

[glacial nexus]

So I like the thermostat card aesthetically but it's pretty hard to use with a touchscreen - is there a way to add up and down buttons next to it?

or I guess it would be a lot easier if I could narrow the allowable temperature range?

Yo'
Need some help with Minimalist UI
getting the following error

[runic rune]

Hi! I have a sensor that changes between attributes «Joke» to both «Setup» and «Delivery». How do I make this «If» to only be returned when Joke attribute has a value? What I have now, does not work. This is a custom button card btw. http://pastie.org/p/1LuyjTsmRkkNdjXsBTy1cQ

[kind cliff]

I added the code from default.yaml to raw config editor at the after, indented 2 spaces, saved and now I have:

[lyric prairie]

Have you fully installed the integration according the documentation?

[mystic timber]

Did you have to restart the whole HA or just empty the cache? just added that on top of everything in Raw Config and error still there (I did empty cache)

[mystic timber]

I did

[lyric prairie]

Minimalist is using dozens of nested templates. So to use a card you will need to add all nested templates from the repo

[lyric prairie]

And you are using a yaml based dashboard which includes all button_card_templates? (Minimalist is not 'fully' compatible with GUI/raw-config editor due to limitations from the HA frontend)

[kind cliff]

I managed to get this far via UI/raw config mode:

[mystic timber]

That's something!

But do I have to restart the HA to see that? I did what you said

[kind cliff]

No, he and I are not. We moved here from the #templates-archived discussion, which was the wrong place...

[kind cliff]

I did not restart. Just saved the raw-config after I added the code from default.yaml.

(and the other templates)

[lyric prairie]

Than the only to make it work is to copy over all templates files into the raw-config editor. But that will be thousands lines of code.

[kind cliff]

So far I've added 583 lines of code under button_card_templates:

[mystic timber]

Can you send me all the templates you've added to top of the raw-config? It's not appearing to me

I can still see the error

[kind cliff]

500+ lines of code is too much to paste here. I'll msg you my email...

[mystic timber]

You can send it to me via http://pastie.org/

[kind cliff]

Done.

[mystic timber]

Send me the link 😂

[kind cliff]

Sorry, NOOB to that!

I fear we are treading into the deep, dark unknown!
babruss did say "copy over all templates file***s ***into the raw-config editor. But that will be thousands lines of code."...

[tacit cave]

what's the problem? too much to read

[lyric prairie]

If you check the browser console you can read the error and see what templates are still missing

[mystic timber]

This is the card code - http://pastie.org/p/4X7hQvQqZRUUSNN3d1JJBD
Trying to create a card like this - https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/usage/cards/card_room/#usage

and we getting the error like in the screenshot I shared above ^

[tacit cave]

open F12 in chrome and hit ctrl+F5 on your keyboard and then paste the errors that appear in the console here

also, keep in mind that the documents on that page say that you need hold_action and you don't have it for any entity.

which ultimately could be the problem even though the documents don't have it in the example

[lyric prairie]

I've checked what templates you are currently missing in the raw-editor.
You have defined color templates in your variables section.
You can find those here: https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI/tree/main/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/lovelace/ulm_templates/card_templates/colors

[mystic timber]

I'm using this in the raw-editor
http://pastie.org/p/6fBRR0ZDmlqwkfzazDZd09 on top of the views

[lyric prairie]

Yeah, but you are still missing yellow_on, blue_on, green_on, red_off, pink_on based on the variables you have set

[mystic timber]

can I copy them to my yaml raw config with the

---
```  ?

[lyric prairie]

No you can leave that out

---

It's just a YAML indicator for a new file

[mystic timber]

I just added the color that I was missing, empty cache, and hard refresh, and still looks the same

[lyric prairie]

What does the developer-console (f12) show as error?

[mystic timber]

He still says that they're missing, I just did restart the whole HA system and hard refreshed with an empty cache again, and still the same error (same on F12)

Those are my raw config lines currently:
http://pastie.org/p/7pR9Egz49pLssKwYeGM3K9

[lyric prairie]

You have to put them all under this line:

button_card_templates:

Just like you did with the other templates

[mystic timber]

ok let's try that out

[mystic timber]

Thank you, it's finally working!

[lyric prairie]

Nice! All this hassle to make it work is exactly the reasons we don't recommend to use the raw-editor with Minimalist

[mystic timber]

I have added 5 cards, why is it so tiny compared to the picture of the guy who made those and it's bigger on his dashboard?
https://preview.redd.it/goynlg7ijz9a1.jpg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54d68341388a35eb468c265476cb962b797b86ea

[kind cliff]

I don't read it! Just copy 'n paste! The trick is finding it!

[lyric prairie]

Because all dimensions are set by a fixed ratio height/width that's available, try putting in a vertical stack. That will make them bigger, as they can use the full screen width

[kind cliff]

I also added yellow_on, blue_on, green_on, red_off, pink_on to mine and it's working now. Thanks!
I understand the reasoning behind yaml mode with !include's being available thus making it easier and more flexible development/evolution-wise.
Should I consider switching from UI to yaml mode?
It took me a quite a while to just "take control" of my dashboard...

[mystic timber]

They are already within a vertical stack
In my mobile it even looks worse

[lyric prairie]

Depends what your goals and tools are for your dashboard. If you want a-lot of the same cards with only different entities and all different types of fronted plugins from HACS; YAML is definitely the way to go, as you will be able to use YAML anchors and !includes for most repetitive tasks.
If you want the convenience of the GUI with dynamic selectors and just a couple of minimalist cards that you want to manually update once in a while stay in GUI.

[mystic timber]

OK I managed to fix that, now it's in a normal size
The only thing I don't under is how I get rid off the 'off C' thing below the room name, I changed the

label_use_tempature: false

and it is still showing up.

OK got it, nevermind 😂

[kind cliff]

Thanks

This issue come every time that login to my instance. The cards exist and it appears normally after i go edit dashboard and hit add card button. then i just simple cancelling and everything appears normally.
I don't really know if its from the card it self or the frontend. Sorry if not in the right channel.

@brisk canopy you might try Plotly. I gave up on Apex charts bc it was way too buggy. I've never looked back. Hyper configurable. Rock solid.

when z2m fails, the middle part of the GUI also fails. And this part has nothing to do with z2m. When z2m is restarted, the middle part also pops up again. any idea why ?

as you can see it's a clock and weather forecast

[vast crane]

I believe you cannot really version control your UI. The .storage directory where the ui configuration is stored is a mix of configuration data and state data, and it doesn't lend itself well to version control. Pretty long thread here:

https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/370

[wooden stream]

Quick question, you know if it's possible to make a mushroom-chips-card only show if on or active, otherwise will be hidden?

[compact hamlet]

Is there a way when you add a card, for example entities one, where you could do a regex or a simple today match for all device and populate it?

[tender pine]

Use a condition card and put the mushroom chips card in it

[compact hamlet]

I was able to use auto-entities lovelace plugin to help

[wooden stream]

Thank you, will try to. Also, do you know how to hide the background of the custom:mushroom-template-card cards?

It's just a small detail but would look lit lol

[midnight island]

I remembered seeing this you mention this yesterday and I happened to find a solution today:

homeassistant:
  customize_domain:
    climate:
      min_temp: 50
      max_temp: 80

[heavy pawn]

How can I change the color of the icon of a toggle (button)?

[sullen oak]

pretty chuffed with this - we live rural and have 3 water filters - so have designed a front end and some automations to indicate levels and remind me to change them

did 10 level designs

[glacial nexus]

Awesome, thanks!

[golden mist]

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

[clear osprey]

Hey @timid burrow , I have been working through deploying your Custom Animated Weather Card (fantastic job btw), and I seem to have come across strange behaviour. I have got everything working except for the animated icons with respect to the mostly sunny input from BOM Australia. Using bremor's Bureau of Meterology component, I get the inputs from the website, and the entities for sunny and shower work on the animated display, but for the days that show mostly_sunny, it just shows blank. Do you know what might be going on there?

[mystic timber]

Hi!
I'm trying to create a room card for my mobile dashboard, I have successfully managed (thanks to some of the #frontend-archived chat users) to add the room card and customize it for my needs.
The problem is the card is way too BIG on the mobile I want it to look like in the picture I attached to this message.
The card YAML:
http://pastie.org/p/1UswBxtYFGZFtLBbBhE9Ca
I have tried to play with some of the sizes within the code but I don't see any difference after saving and clearing cache in my browser;
Hope someone can help me with that, thank you!

[leaden island]

Anyone know where documentation is on the navigate tap_action? Trying to tap and go to a device view (or maybe its considered a subview?)

[cobalt lichen]

Hi, i have a template that returns a list. Is it possible to create some kind of cards based on that list? It's a list of entity_ids.

[kind cliff]

Please post your template...

[lyric prairie]

Create a vertical stack with inside horizontal stacks for each displayed row. Put two of the room cards in each horizontal stack.

[mystic timber]

Hi again!
So If I have 5 rooms I make 1 vertical stack with 3 horizontal stacks within that?

[cobalt lichen]

        {% for entity_id in states.group.thermostats.attributes.entity_id %}
          {% if state_attr(entity_id, 'current_temperature') < state_attr(entity_id, 'temperature') %}
            {{ entity_id }}
          {% endif%}
        {% endfor %}

[kind cliff]

Is that a templated sensor?

Without more info, have a look here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/display-an-entitys-attribute/197721/4

[mystic timber]

I did what you suggest me to try out
http://pastie.org/p/3CUpiLfQt0fcCJUXtOfZUW
It is still HUGE when I insert my card into the horizontal stack

I think it has something to do with the code I posted few messages ago and not with the vertical/horiziontal card

[lyric prairie]

Just add a second room card in that horizontal stack

[mystic timber]

I did

look at the code

[lyric prairie]

In the code there is only one room card inside the horizontal stack

[mystic timber]

OK I forgot to click save appearntly, thank you!
Another question about those cards - the color of the icon should be changed compared to the state of the device which is not happening.

(i think it's called color of the icon)

[lyric prairie]

That's because the variables for those colors are only defined in the minimalist themes

[mystic timber]

Like this example. his light is on in the bedroom so the color of the icon bulb is yellow

So I need to change my theme in settings to minimalist theme to see that?

[lyric prairie]

That's one way to do it

[mystic timber]

Is it possible to use themes on a specific dashboard and not all of them?

[lyric prairie]

I guess so, but I was never able to make it work consistently

[mystic timber]

What are the other ways to change my theme?

[lyric prairie]

You could add the color variables to your existing theme

[mystic timber]

I already did that

in the raw config

[lyric prairie]

That were templates

[mystic timber]

Can I share with you my raw config so you can see?

[lyric prairie]

Color variables are not defined in the raw config, only in a themefile

[mystic timber]

So where do i define the color variables?

[lyric prairie]

just add these lines to your theme your are currently using

      google-red: "#F54436"
      google-green: "#01C852"
      google-yellow: "#FF9101"
      google-blue: "#3D5AFE"
      google-violet: "#661FFF"
      google-grey: "#BBBBBB"
      color-red: "245, 68, 54"
      color-green: "1, 200, 82"
      color-yellow: "255, 145, 1"
      color-blue: "61, 90, 254"
      color-purple: "102, 31, 255"
      color-grey: "187, 187, 187"
      color-pink: "233, 30, 99"
      color-theme: "51,51,51"

[mystic timber]

Just making sure,
http://pastie.org/p/60Yc1B9eD0fW5pSrF7X1C8
In this yaml file, right?
I'm using this theme.

[lyric prairie]

Yeah, that's right just put it somewhere with the same indentation as all the other lines, reload themes from the dev-tools and you should be good to go

[mystic timber]

now I got another problem, it's not showing the colors of the off state devices

I mean, you can't see the icon of devices that has offline state

[lyric prairie]

I think it's because the color used in minimalist is in gray-scale with low opacity. So it is lost in the contrast of your theme

You could set another rgb-color to your liking for color-theme

[mystic timber]

and where do I change the opacity?

[lyric prairie]

That's defined in card_room template

https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI/blob/9b52607bb98fd2a0b877a46ec41247a22cab7a2e/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/lovelace/ulm_templates/card_templates/cards/card_room.yaml#L228

[mystic timber]

the higher the number in this line the higher opacity I will set?

[cobalt lichen]

Yes.

[mystic timber]

and another question, for example, I have devices that not showing on/off state but I want them to appear in the card as on state
how can I do that?

[mystic timber]

I have changed it from 0.2 to 1.0, still barely can see the button

[errant birch]

anyone able to assist me in setting up an apexchart card please ?
I'm not getting anywhere and i've been at it for a while now ... pls ping if available to help, txs !

[sacred rampart]

https://pastebin.com/vhtmD2u2

I created an apex chart with offset of 1 month, but the dates are wrong, it should show December 22 instead of Jan 23. How should I fix this?

[midnight island]

That's Jan '23 as in 2023 (the start of the month)

[sacred rampart]

I figured it out, Thanks.

[raven lodge]

Hello! I'm looking for some guidance with card_mod customization and DOM navigation for a particular card. Is there proper channel for that sort of thing?

[dark dirge]

this one, or the forum thread for card_mod

[carmine field]

I am trying to figure out how to keep the theme back end selected and have it default to the already existing dark mode.

[raven lodge]

Thanks, I didn't know there was a card_mod forum.

[dark dirge]

there isn't, but there's a thread on it. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/card-mod-add-css-styles-to-any-lovelace-card/120744

[errant coral]

Hello, I have a question. Is there a card where you can click a button that shows you the entities of a room? Or can you display cards above each other?

I want to show different info (based on the button that was pressed above) in the left bottom corner

[vast crane]

Maybe a subview is what you're looking for? https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/views/#subview

[errant coral]

No, a subview is a whole other page

I want to stay everything as it is, only change the info on the bottom

something like this. The first 10 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvqK9wBKqNI

[vast crane]

Not sure. maybe conditional card, and clicking a button changes an input_select, and based on input_select the conditional card chooses what card to show. Don't think there's anything automatic, at least without getting custom cards.

[errant coral]

I get it. I have never seen the conditinal card before 😄

[raven lodge]

Aah thanks, wasn't sure what you meant by "thread" ... I understand now. I'll post there. For completeness, I'm trying to style ha-state-icon but can't seem to get there in a more direct manner (https://github.com/junalmeida/homeassistant-minimalistic-area-card/issues/45).

[errant coral]

I think i need this one https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch

[hollow perch]

Anyone reporting this issue?
graph's are showing wrong timeline... new data going into 21xx.
If you click show history, it's correct... and binary sensors are fine.
Some sensors are fine... like DB size, and those from Frigate, other custom integrations... it might be just "core" sensors (because I don't know what else to call them)...

[vast crane]

I haven't seen that one reported on github issues.

[mystic timber]

Hey!
Is there a way to fix the black buttons to be more visible? I thought changing from 0.2 opacity to 1.0 would do it but it seems not to make a big difference.

That's the line of the code of the opacity in my raw config:
https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI/blob/9b52607bb98fd2a0b877a46ec41247a22cab7a2e/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/lovelace/ulm_templates/card_templates/cards/card_room.yaml#L228
(I changed it to 1.0)

[regal idol]

When clicking on a sensor in the dashboard, before the history graph would show the last ~24 hours. Now it suddenly goes back to May last year, even though I installed Home Assistant this month, so there isn't even any data. Because it's so zoomed out the graph is useless too. Any idea what could cause this or what I can do about it?

[hollow perch]

something like this? (except mine is going into the future)
#frontend-archived message

[regal idol]

Uh yeah exactly, but in the past

[foggy flax]

Is there a way to change the color of this?

cause i don't want it blue and yellow but rather red and greeen

[lyric prairie]

#frontend-archived message also a few lines below you can find the color setting for the icon

[mystic timber]

hi thanks, but it's not the color it self of the icon it is the opacity, no? in the pic i just sent

[lyric prairie]

It’s the contrast which can be changed either by trying to change the opacity or to a color that has a better contrast with your theme colors

[mystic timber]

http://pastie.org/p/5G0Sv8c9YMePOOlcMk2cTw

You mean I should change the img_cell?

[mystic timber]

If so, I just changed it to white and I see no difference than before.

http://pastie.org/p/4ibWQ1E35EqQdp7hBeryjj

[lyric prairie]

color-white is not defined in the themefile, so it will result in no value 😅

[mystic timber]

themefile or button_Card_templates?
so what color can I use that already in the themefile and can be visible to see the buttons?

[golden mist]

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

[blissful finch]

I'm attempting to use this code I got for a washer/dryer status. I'm not interested in the cycles but I do want to have a timer displayed. My washer isn't as smart so I had the idea of using an energy monitoring plug that would trigger a timer to start when it starts to use power. This works great. However, now I'm attempting to display the time remaining on the timer in the card and instead of the time remaining I'm just seeing the "active" text. I believe I need to access one level deeper to get the time remaining but I cannot figure out the syntax for doing that. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hi! I just updated from 2022 to 2023, and now my custom button card entities are black/white, instead of the original blue/yellow like in the original button card. Is there a way to make custom button card take the colors from the regular button cards?

Hey Community, is there a way to size the image of a picture-entity card?

Hi, I just installed my first LED strip. May I ask for a good card to control all their options? It's a RGB+CCT controller

to have a separation bar between card, what is the best way ? using this https://github.com/covrig/homeassistant-hline ?

[stark dagger]

Hello,
I'm trying to do a "temperature dashboard". I have a list of entities on the left, with a list of sensor built from templates (creating a sensor for the attribute of each climate device). I like the clean look, but can't find a way to open the "climate" settings when I click/tap on it (it shows the history graphic). On the right, I played with the mushroom:climate card. I like the easily accessible settings, but the current temperature is small and the "auto" label always make me think that maybe it's showing the target temperature, not the current one. If you have a way to present the temperature in the house that you like, or if you know how to make this better, I'd be grateful (I also hope I break no rule here)

[wraith eagle]

Don't know if anyone saw this - having a little trouble......

Has anyone has any success in getting this Card working with the London TfL HACS integration. I've followed the instructions to the letter - but get errors on my Dashboard.
Undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this.config')
Only on this card - the rest of the dashboard is fine.

It's the HASL Departure Lovelace card

[wind coyote]

I'm guessing card-mod could probably fix this?

[polar kelp]

Not easily. Most cards are designed for a certain minimum width. Below that things will get weird.
See note box here: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card/tree/c2808b9396eba43fe4ec0703efdd3aa52b7d641e#tweaking-layouts

[wind coyote]

Hrm. Might you have better ideas for this? Right now I'm thinking of making some kind of automation that uses an input_select entity to update these select entities, so that I may use a slider in the card to set the value instead of a dropdown.

[blazing wren]

Did you look at the select card?

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-select-list-card/210085

[wind coyote]

That (seems to?) only work for input_select entities. These are select entities, configured as such by the integration.

[blazing wren]

It looks relatively easy to modify it to work for select entities too, it might be worth opening an issue 😉

https://github.com/mattieha/select-list-card/issues/20

[vast crane]

There's already an issue reported recently for that select glitch: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/15041 The fix looks trivially easy, but PR approvals have been very slow last few weeks, so maybe I'll fix it once those pick up again.

[tidal remnant]

hi all - is this the right room for dashboard questions?

Thanks!

So I posted this on reddit but haven’t heard much. I am following someone’s dashboard config as an example and for their layout they use !include to have the dashboard look at other files for instructions.

But with dash’s stored in .storage, where should I create this file structure and files? In my main config folder? Or .storage?

Here’s my post: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/108fmyc/using_include_with_lovelace_dashboards/

[tepid spear]

Light card shows on/off state and brightness level around the icon, but for color temperature slider, one needs to click on three dots and then to see it in the info tab.

Is it possible somehow to move this slider out, to be on the card itself below brightness circle slider?

[vast crane]

Are you asking if it's possible for you as the end user to do it, or are you asking for a developer to change the behavior of the card?

If it's the former I don't think so, but you can probably find some custom card that has a different configuration that you might like. Or you can add a separate input_number slider, and automate changes in that to changes in the color temp.

[tepid spear]

I'm asking as the user. I checked some custom cards, but the default one is the most appealing to me. I just wanted to see if it possible to move the existing slider out of info tab, so I don't have to click on three dots every time

[vast crane]

Not with the default cards, no.

[tepid spear]

Too bad.

And is it possible somehow to duplicate the look of default one as a custom card?

[vast crane]

I'm sure it must be possible, but I don't know if it is easy.

[leaden island]

How do I set a tap action to navigate to a device view?

As in, setting a tap action that take me here:

[dark dirge]

presumably you can use a navigation_path of whatever is in the URL for that page: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/actions/#navigation_path

[kind cliff]

Check Home assistant smart home panel card:
https://github.com/DBuit/hass-smart-home-panel-card
I'm still looking for a way to do what you originally asked though...

[dark dirge]

I just used this: /config/devices/device/379a9ec3969db71234e56217622457da and it brought me directly to the device I wanted

yours will obviously be different

[leaden island]

So I have to snag the url for all of them.. no system variable I can be using.

[dark dirge]

no

[leaden island]

Guess I need to find the string at the end of url

[dark dirge]

that's the device_id

but you can't use a template to grab that in a card

[leaden island]

Can I set/define device ID in yaml? I don't recall that being an option although I do set object and unique id

[dark dirge]

no

it's random

[leaden island]

Ok. So how did you grab it? Guess I need to sniff the link from webui?

[dark dirge]

no, from the location bar in the browser

or you can use a template

[leaden island]

Ok. So I can't find it from the app. Need to use the webui

Thanks

You want the attribute, so you need a card that supports that or a template sensor to show it

Have a look at https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

[rocky finch]

thx

[mystic timber]

hey there
I have successfully added the cards the way I wanted, but I still can't figure out how to change the black / barely invisible icons to white color?
http://pastie.org/p/3mSwspNjHB9GZfrHVFX2nD
That's the part of the Raw Configuration that is related to the icon pattern.
I have changed the optical to 1.0 (it was 0.2) but it is still not visible as I wanted it to be)

[stark dagger]

Hello there,
I found the solution to my problem, so I thought I would share, in case it can be useful to someone else. I wanted to use the "entities" card to show temperature in each room, and get access to the climate settings when available when clicking on the entity. See below: the "T° entrée" is a climate (different icon), the other ones are sensors only.
edit: I have to repeat this in the dashboard for each climate entity, but at least it works.

- type: entities entities: - entity: climate.entree type: attribute attribute: temperature suffix: °C icon: mdi:home-thermometer-outline - entity: sensor.detecteur_toilette_bas_temperature
Next, finding how to add the Eve home temperature sensors that I have 🙂

[runic bolt]

are there cards that can show an icon (icon got the light color) AND a temp sensor on the top right or left? something like this?

lol i should have taken a view in this channel before i tried googling something i did not know how to call it for 2 hours

[runic bolt]

these cards are super cool, where did oyu find them? 😄

[mystic timber]

called room card search for that

took me atleast 4 days to install this "simple" card

[runic bolt]

uhm yea noticed that... ill pass. i just want the temp on the "button card" ^^;

i just remember why i stopped with the interface..

[pallid bobcat]

Morning all. Anyone awake for a quick question? The recent change to entity coloring has me confused and my front end is not looking the way I’d like any longer

[pallid bobcat]

The question: how do you set entity colorization at a theme level. As a basic example when my lights are on I want them a certain color. (Or reflect the color of the bulb). I know I can do it where I define the buttons in Lovelace but what about at a theme / global level.

[kind cliff]

Well I'm probably not really awake anymore since I have not been to bed yet but...
Try having a look at https://github.com/Mariusthvdb/custom-ui
I think 😴 that is what enables me to do this:

in my customize.yaml

sensor.coffee_machine:
  templates:
    icon_color: >
      if (state == 'Off') return 'slategray';
      if (state == 'Brewing') return 'orangered'; 
      if (state == 'Finished' ) return '#a55f4f';
      if (state == 'Done') return '#a55f4f';
      if (state == 'Prepared') return 'lime';
      if (state == 'Ready') return 'lime';
      if (state == 'Not Ready') return '#FFBF00';

I also have this in configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:

  customize: !include customize.yaml

  customize_glob:
    sensor.*_battery:
      templates:
        icon_color: >
          if (state < 30) return 'red';
          if (state < 80) return 'yellow'; return 'green';

    binary_sensor.*_motion:
      templates:
        icon: 'if (state == "on") return "mdi:motion-sensor"; return "mdi:human-male";'
        icon_color: 'if (state == "on") return "yellow"; return "grey";'
    
    binary_sensor.*_occupancy:
      templates:
        icon: 'if (state == "on") return "mdi:motion-sensor"; return "mdi:human-male";'
        icon_color: 'if (state == "on") return "yellow"; return "grey";'
    
    light.pc_monitor:
      templates:
        icon: 'if (state == "on") return "hass:monitor"; return "hass:monitor-off";'
        icon_color: 'if (state == "on") return "blue"; return "grey";'

does it work with conditional aswell?

Using the group.set service call you can create groups from templates in an automation

could you give me an example ? :S

@blazing wren my edits have been to fix typos I notice after the fact or to add additional info that I've remembered and before the channel has "moved on", and has not been to get around "a post size limit".

I might be too wordy in my responses but I feel that is better than being terse and unclear. Maybe I should just completely withdraw myself from discord...

[blazing wren]

The bot will automatically convert you message to a text file when it's too long. That particular post would definitely have been caught by it if it had gone up as one post. I'm just suggesting you put the code parts onto something like Pastie 😉

[kind cliff]

@blazing wren
I've posted quite a few code pieces that were converted so they are shorter but expandable. I did notice that one was completely open. Thanks for clarifying. I'll be more cognizant of that in future... 😊

[blazing wren]

It's better to just post the code straight to Pastie or similar that relying on the bot, the text file is really hard to read on mobile

[kind cliff]

OK, thanks!

[midnight island]

Also worth noting that on mobile (at least Android), if the message gets converted to a file, you have to download a text file to the phone and read it in another app

[blazing wren]

I can at least tap on "view" in the browser on iOS, but it's just text. So if you added backticks and a language to your code formatting you don't see any of that

[calm plover]

Hi, I'm using a combination of decluttering card and layout card. One of the variables I have for decluttering card is the grid-area so that I can position the templated cards in a grid. However, it seems that the grid layout is ignoring the grid-area. Is this a known issue? Does anyone know how to solve it? solved, don't do this, simply add view-layout's

[amber jewel]

how do i restrict a dashboard to admin only? I tried this and it didn't work heh - theme: Backend-selected require_admin: true title: Testing

nvm found it in manage dashboards

[dark dirge]

it looks like you have a bit of a mish-mash

ok

[hazy dragon]

Why do registry files of home assistant takes time to update and how can we reduce that?

[golden mist]

@hazy dragon Please do not cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond. Crossposting wastes people's time as they're unaware of the help you're getting elsewhere.

If you don't get any responses after an hour or more, and your message is no longer on screen, it is fine to re-post or post a link to it.

[unique scroll]

is there a way to define the area to which an entity will belong to and do it as early as at entity creation ?

or is it it deemed to UI config only ?

[shut ibex]

hi, i added my lights and switches in z2m and i can control them there but i dont see it in my dashboard.

[vocal kiln]

does anyone have a good way to show the next event happening across a number of different calendars and the time until said event?

[unique scroll]

check the attributes for the calendar in dev tools if you can use something

[sly frigate]

Is there a way I can get statistical data between specific times?
Use case: have a power monitoring plug that I use to measure different devices using the same plug, so I wanted to find out min/max/mean values between fixed time periods. Is there some kind of way to report this? I can use the data graph, but I wanted those 3 values of specific time. Stats dashboard card doesn't seem to allow me to filter between specific times, only relate full dates

[sly frigate]

Aha you can use statistics card with fixed period and you can specify time via it

period:
  fixed_period:
    start: 2023-01-12T19:20:00.000Z
    end: 2023-01-13T20:25:00.000Z

[hot summit]

Why would two very similar sensors (both measuring temperature in the same room), produce two quite different sparkline charts when using the sensor card?

[vast crane]

I find that card somewhat dubious, it's given me bogus graphs in the past.

Suggest file an issue on github /frontend/ if it concerns you.

[mortal ravine]

Hello, I have a problem with a cover entity card. The current position of the rollershutter is 0%, which in my case means that that its fully opened.

If I change the rollershutter position to 100% it shows the following slider

I want the slider to be 0% when the position is 0% and "closed" or 100% if the position is 100%. Am I doing something incorrect? My entity config looks like this

mqtt:
  cover:
    - name: "Livingroom rollershutter"
      command_topic: "home/controls/rollershutter"
      state_topic: "home/values/rollershutter"
      position_topic: "home/values/rollershutter"
      set_position_topic: "home/values/rollershutter"
      payload_open: 0
      payload_close: 100
      payload_stop: "STOP"
      position_open: 0
      position_closed: 100
      value_template: "{{ value }}"

@polar kelp

[polar kelp]

That is not how coverworks. https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/cover

[deep cairn]

when I set the tap action of a tile, can I set it to perform multiple actions (similar to in an automation)?

[polar kelp]

You can set it to run a script.

[deep cairn]

hrmm... maybe another time. I'll pocket that idea though. 🙂

(I've done too much learning already today... time to relax) haha

[blazing wren]

A script is just a series of actions, so don't put it in the "difficult" pile 🙂

If you figured out how to make one action happen, you'll figure out scripts pretty quickly

[deep cairn]

not so much difficult... just... not wanting to learn the script part at the moment.

I am slowly tackling the various parts of HA. Today I learned how to play spotify on Sonos speakers...

and some template sensor stuff

maybe tomorrow will be scripts. 🙂

[golden mist]

Scripts

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your scripts

[blazing wren]

It's all there in the UI, and the #automations-archived channel can help you if you get stuck with them 🙂

[deep cairn]

what I'd like is:

• each room will have a dashboard
• on this dashboard will be a few cards (each card is a spotify playlist)
• clicking on the card, will start a playlist on the speaker in that room (and... also turn on shuffle)

When you say scripts... are you referring to the automations?

or... are automations and scripts different?

[blazing wren]

Automations are a trigger, optionally condition(s), and then a series of actions

Scripts are just the "series of actions" part

[deep cairn]

ok... so... I don't actually have to write script language?

maybe... I can learn this today.

Thanks! think I got it. 🙂

the name "script" makes it sound way more scary than it is.

[deep cairn]

If I want to add an image to my dashboard... how to I get the image to HA?

I created /config/www and restarted
but, I can't access the image

[polar kelp]

/config/www/image.jpg translates to /local/image.jpg.

[deep cairn]

yeah... I think I just mistyped my filename. 😅

got it, thanks!

any way to make the image smaller? seems to size the card to the same size regardless the image size

[polar kelp]

The width of the card is pretty much fixed. Then the hight depends on the aspect ratio of the file.

[deep cairn]

ok, I'll see what I can do. 🙂 thanks

I think if I put them in a grid... that'll force them to shrink and look better.

[polar kelp]

In integer steps

[blazing wren]

No, you can add #templates-archived later if/when you need them, but it's all things you should already be familiar with!

[deep cairn]

I got a script working, and am able to run it from my dashboard. I even figured out how to load images for use on dashboard cards. woo!

Thanks for the encouragement. 🙂

[blazing wren]

I'm glad you gave it a try!

If you're trying something that seems scary, just do a backup first and download it—then you can always just put everything back exactly as it was before you broke it 😄

[deep cairn]

true

[dusky jackal]

when using card-mod to add background image to a card how do you resize the image so it fits?

[dusky jackal]

like this background-size: cover;

[ocean tundra]

Im using vertical and horizontal stack cards but I cannot seem to make them visually seperate from each other. How do I create a border or shadow behind each vertical stack card?

[atomic glacier]

@dusky jackal I think this...

  style: |
    ha-card {
      background: center / cover no-repeat url("/local/images-lovelace/backgroundz/blackSteel40197.jpg");

[dusky jackal]

Nice, ty, so far what I posted above with :cover is working

[mystic timber]

hey there
I have successfully added the cards the way I wanted, but I still can't figure out how to change the black / barely invisible icons to white color?
http://pastie.org/p/35vNhxZRmeAAO8wqJLpmL0
That's the part of the Raw Configuration that is related to the icon pattern.
I have changed the optical to 1.0 (it was 0.2) but it is still not visible as I wanted it to be

[timber saffron]

Is there any trick that when you have edited th fronend with the yaml the code stays how you have formatted it

      title: Lampen aan
      content:
        type: markdown
        content: >-
          - **Woonkamer**  {% set woonkamer = namespace(entities=[]) %}  {%
          if states('light.voorraam_woonkamer_kleine_raam') == 'on' %}
              {% set woonkamer.entities = woonkamer.entities + ['\t- ' + state_attr('light.voorraam_woonkamer_kleine_raam', 'friendly_name')] %}
          {% endif %}  {% if states('light.voorraam_woonkamer_grote_raam')

[shut ibex]

can i ask if anyone has issues with mushroom? i installed it but do not see the custom cards in the dashboard

[blazing wren]

Did you install the theme or the cards? And did you clear your cache (hard refresh) afterwards?

[shut ibex]

yes

i cleared cache

then reloaded

i uninstalled an reinstalled

just noticed it said i am not using lovelace in storage mode

[blazing wren]

Make sure you installed the cards, the theme alone doesn't include them.

[shut ibex]

installed the cards

[red lark]

hey, any tips on getting this card

to look like this

on a dashboard

maybe i should just use a chip

[blazing wren]

It's a custom card

I use this card myself: https://github.com/denysdovhan/vacuum-card

But this is the one in that picture I believe: https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/main/docs/cards/vacuum.md

[red lark]

Thank you - sorted

[tidal plank]

is there a way to have a max-width for ALL views/dashboards?

[red lark]

what is wring with this? ```card:
type: markdown
content: '{{states(''sensor.low_battery_devices', 'calendar.family'')}}'
title: Low Batteries

ohh i don't want the state of the calender

hummm

[blazing wren]

You aren't escaping quotes in the middle either

content: '{{states(''sensor.low_battery_devices'')}}'

[red lark]

whats it trying to tell me...

[midnight island]

You didn't close out your if statement or your for loop

[red lark]

can you guide me? sorry.

          {% if state.attributes.message %}
            Message: {{ state.attributes.message }}
            Start Time: {{ state.attributes.start_time }}
            End Time: {{ state.attributes.end_time }}
            Description: {{ state.attributes.description }}```

[midnight island]

  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

[red lark]

just at the end?

ok get KeyError: now ..

[blazing wren]

Well you're using .attributes which is not recommended.

Try state_attr(state, 'end_time'). But also I really recommend not using the name state, it's confusing. Call it event or something appropriate 😉

[red lark]

thank you, i tried a few versions but i think i need t stop now.. il come back to it tomorrow

[green raft]

Anyone know if it's possible to change the factor of a unit's display with Mushroom Chips without needing to create new helper sensors?

I.e. W -> kW.

[mystic timber]

yo
hey there
I can't figure out how to change the black icons to white color?
http://pastie.org/p/4G1L27gjdO07qFIyjoNJKj
That's the part of the Raw Configuration that is related to the icon pattern.
I have changed the opacity to 1.0 (it was 0.2) but it is still not visible to the user.

[green raft]

Would be the expansion of the --color-theme variable. It's likely that dark grey. Try changing to --color-white as you have in the other part of the config.

[mystic timber]

Thanks, it worked! so easy.

[green raft]

Out of curiosity, what's the main card you're using there? It's pretty clean.

[mystic timber]

room card it is called

took me like 4 days to build it tho'

[green raft]

This is mine currently. It's fine, but I would like a bit more flexibility.

[mystic timber]

clean and colorful!

I would use the same but try to implement the room card buttons so you can do more within this dashboard without going into the room card itself

[green raft]

The room tabs themselves are pretty simplistic, so I don't mind having to navigate in. Not using the built in HA room cards, have built my own.

[green raft]

Anyone know if it's possible to move the nav bar permanently to the bottom of the UI? I know there's a CC for it. Found the kiosk mode CC 🙂

[wide oriole]

How can I display all zone entities on my map?

[green raft]

Are there any custom components that do a good job of handling scenes? Auto-populating drop down lists, or auto-tiling icons and the like? Seems like scenes are still pretty clunky in HA.

[crude lotus]

Anyone knows why this is giving me this error

The same tap_action with a normal button works fine.

[tidal plank]

is there a way to have a max-width for ALL views/dashboards?

card-mod, layout-card etc is installed, but i can't find a way to put all views a bit more narrow and not full-width 🤔

[muted inlet]

data needs to be service_data in cards

[charred nebula]

I am trying to get the second row to change the select.mode to another value, is there a way to do this in the YAML

so for example someone clicks the cake, it will set selector.mode = "Cake

[dark dirge]

I think that changed in the last 2-3 months

might still be the case for custom cards

[chilly cedar]

How did you do that?

[slate oriole]

Hey does anyone know a way that I can change the icon for my devices to use icons from here https://fonts.google.com/icons?icon.query=mini ?

[charred nebula]

does anyone know how to break a dropdown selector into icons?

[blazing wren]

As in buttons? You can add buttons to select a particular option from an (input) select.

There's also https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-select-list-card/210085

But I suspect you don't want that one.

[charred nebula]

I did it with the custom chips

instead of indevicual buttons now just to see if I can make the icon green now

🙂

This works, but no color on the icons

[green raft]

https://github.com/junalmeida/homeassistant-minimalistic-area-card

[charred nebula]

is there anyway to change the chips icon color based on it value

[green raft]

If you use the "Template" chip type, then you can use templating in all the fields I believe.

[green raft]

The Mushroom Conditional stuff is so damn good. Kinda want it as a top level card which would work similar to the state-switch card, but with an actual UI. scratch that, it IS a top level card that Mushroom is just re-implementing for the chips. I'm a dolt, but a happy dolt! -_-

[pseudo onyx]

I know the issue is related to themes, I would like to use default theme "dark" but removing the divider/border. Do you know if is possible to edit "default" theme? If so how? Otherwise what would be recommended solution ?

[green raft]

Download the "Mushroom" theme pack on HACS and change to Mushroom Shadow.
