Does anyone know if it's possible to use an entity attribute (or a template) for the conditional card?

[modern horizon]

Hello everyone, I have a question about the area cards https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/area. Is there a way to select a specific sensor that this card should use? I have a 3d printer in the room and I am retrieving the values through the octoprint. But now I am dealing with the issue that the card uses the printer's sensor instead of the normal room sensor i have installed.

[charred nebula]

Is there a way to use state on a chips card to change the color and icon based on its value

[green raft]

The Area cards take an average of all sensors for any numerical values (temperature). If you want more control, minimalistic-area-card be more up your alley: https://github.com/junalmeida/homeassistant-minimalistic-area-card

[modern horizon]

Thank you, that's a good solution 🙂

[signal bloom]

hey here, I'd like to follow this guide to install and get lovelace minimal running

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0fMt8IRKoI&t=301s

but I'm already stuck trying to find auto-entities and button card HACS integrations

they are not displaying in my list

is there a specific repository to add before I can find them ?

[vast crane]

Two things come to mind.
Make sure you're in the frontend section of hacs, not integrations.
And make sure you're using the searchbox that comes up after clicking "Explore and download". The first search box you see on the main page is for searching your currently downloaded and "new" respositories.

[charred nebula]

@signal bloom I gave up following at smart home vids, there is usually a bunch of stuff he assumes you have or skips over stuff to fast, he really need to have a list of stuff you need prior to watching and following. look for another vid if you can, there are some real good guys out there that go and explain better.

the main reason I gave up, is about half way through a vid, he said you need these for the next step, and that was another vid all together.

[signal bloom]

hm ok 😦

I installed minimalist, but end up with a bunch of missing cards I guess

it's actually even worse

  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/config_entries.py", line 382, in async_setup
    result = await component.async_setup_entry(hass, self)
  File "/config/custom_components/ui_lovelace_minimalist/__init__.py", line 124, in async_setup_entry

    return b64decode(bytearray(content, "utf-8")).decode()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte`````

when I restart HA, minimalist is not even starting, I'd need a proper tutorial, text based is better, I agree

[charred nebula]

remove it and reinstall ?????

I try and stick with hacs and out of the box

then tweaks

[lyric prairie]

https://ui-lovelace-minimalist.github.io/UI/setup/download/

[signal bloom]

I followed the guide one more time, checked the checkbox to download the extra dependencies, but looking at this screenshot I think minimalist is not downloading them

[charred nebula]

can anyone confirm if you can use a template on a chips card

icon_color: >
{% set state=states('select.mode') %}
{% if state=='Chips' %}
green
{% else %}
orange
{% endif %}

this works in templates, but not on the chips card, anyone have any ideas?

[blazing wren]

Does that property on the chips card allow templating?

[charred nebula]

-type: template fixed

had it at entity, looking at the wrong part of the code

lol

DOH!

[elfin drum]

Hi everyone, I am using an history-graph with a climate entity; is there a way to only show the current_temperature instead of the target temperature, current temperature and climate state ? Having 2 climate entities on the same graph makes it unreadable. Thanks for your help.

[charred nebula]

I used card apexcharts-card

there you can specify the entity you want+

type: custom:apexcharts-card
graph_span: 168h
header:
show: true
title: Temperature Last 7 days
show_states: true
colorize_states: true
series:

• entity: sensor.openweathermap_temperature
  color: PowderBlue
  stroke_width: 1

[elfin drum]

I am trying to avoid custom cards but thanks for this solution!

[candid ridge]

http://i.geekie.no/tew1yFh.gif any ideas why the Browser Mod popup dissapears on my computer?

works fine on tablet

[mystic timber]

hi.
I just hit an update on the HACS room-card and suddenly I don't see the icon colors I had before (if the device state is off there is a color, if he's on there is a diff icon color)

http://pastie.org/p/4V0r1KQr15lPoTzwl9BEvA
What am I missing here?
Thanks for help.

[viscid oyster]

heya, i'm sure it's a dumb thing but how can i make this entity shown (battery level) on this widget ? https://imgur.com/a/HVPy4O6

[wooden stream]

Hello my friends, this card is supposed to show the state of a light entity if it's on or off.
Meanwhile I've been trying to fix it to show the state of multiple lights instead of just the entity one, so on the icon_color: I did some changes, that don't seem to work? What am I doing wrong here? 😦 https://dpaste.org/YO5PJ. Talking about the {% if states('light.candeeiro_quarto') == 'on' %}... part.

[viscid oyster]

same issue: icon_color: |- {% if states('media_player.spotify_accountify') != 'fakestatus' %} green {% endif %}‘‘ dosen't work (should be green)

@wooden streamhttps://smarthomescene.com/guides/mushroom-cards-part-2-room-layout-and-card-combinations/ look here it might help

[wooden stream]

I'm extracting that bit from another room card I have, and it works, but I'm probably f- up some code in the middle of it lol.

[lyric prairie]

It will result in yellow if one of the entities is on and in none when off.
I think you are missing an else when none condition is true

[wooden stream]

Me or Accountify ?

[lyric prairie]

Both..

Now both your templates specify only a color when any condition is true

But you will also need to specify another color when none condition is true

[viscid oyster]

icon_color: |- {% if states('media_player.spotify_accountify') != 'on' %} green {% else %} green {% endif %} }}

[viscid oyster]

then this should work ? but still not :/

[lyric prairie]

There are two random placed }} in your last line

[viscid oyster]

i removed the 2 closing brackets at the end and the icon_color is still white

i think now i have the good formating tho, that's a good start

[wooden stream]

IT WAS THE LAST } lol

Oh nevermind, it's pulling the entity state and not the icon_color one

[golden mist]

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

[viscid oyster]

it would be better with the full yaml code

[lyric prairie]

I am not a mushroom guy, but I think you can only use templates in the template chip

[wooden stream]

pulls the state of light.candeeiro_quarto but if I do with light.bedside_lamps the new one doesn't pull the proper state like the one at the bottom.
I stole the code from the one at the bottom to the one at the top and can't seem to fix this <.<

[golden mist]

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

[viscid oyster]

Still the same but i think that's more about mushroom chips ?

[brave elm]

umm hello people i have a konnected panel Interface i wana know how to make a alarm panel to control it better instead of useing a switch to arm

[lyric prairie]

Have you tried the template chip?

[wooden stream]

Managed to fix my issue, thank your for the help.
It was crashed code cus everything else was working fine.

[mystic timber]

basbruss is that you from the Minimalistic thread?

[buoyant hound]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/manual/
I think this is what you need?

And it sounds like you have a functional alarm, it just needs that and some automation glue to give it a panel in the UI.

[vapid field]

Small silly question: what's the best way to go about maybe fixing a "card", i know that's what they are called here in lovelace / HA? (I'm going to get the terminology way wrong). I think I can download the troublesome card itself as a bundled js file and put it in my config/www directory, and from there I was thinking I could maybe tweak it / test changes. Should I look at some "how to make a card" tutorials first maybe? or a basics on how cards work / developer reference? Is there such a thing? (I found https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/frontend/custom-ui/custom-card/ which seems pretty handy!), Sorry if this ended up in the wrong channel... I tried to premeditate!

[elfin drum]

Hi everyone, is there a way to show the current_temperature from a climate entity on an entity card? Currently, I can only get the state (heating/off) of the entity. There should be a way to get this value without having to manually create a template entity for every of my climate entities. Thanks.

[vast crane]

Entity card has a selector called "attribute". If you set that to current_temperature, it should show the temperature?

[deft ginkgo]

Who can help me out? I'm trying to make my card from my car the same height as the other cards in the middle . ( see red line in the pictere) How to do this. I really can't figure it out.

[charred nebula]

Yay completed my first full card from localtuya entities all the way through to a remotely working Rohnson Airfryer wooot

and thanks to @split granite again for nudging me in the right direction.

[elfin drum]

On the entity card, yes but for almost every other card, I am not able to get it. I used to have a separate sensor "thermostat_current_temperature" updated from the same MQTT message that the climate entity reads but it is not getting updates since HA 2022.06...

[mystic timber]

hi there,
I want to add a button that turns on my boiler for 60 minutes, I got already set up in my home assistant.
However in my mobile dashboard I don't want to show all the buttons and make it easier to just press on the icon to make it work.
For some reason it's not making any call service, I can't detect what's wrong.

http://pastie.org/p/5JTdFBUnjV9w4CL0B0Mnsp
also the icon of the button is not showing up.
This is the full card of my switcher device (http://pastie.org/p/3dIx5AVVj7hyByM3MMQlT5) that works - I am just trying to take the 60 minutes button and put it inside my mobile card, but it's not calling the service when I press the button of the missing icon.
thanks for helping.

[tacit cave]

    service: switcher_kis.turn_on_with_timer

that's not a real service

[vast crane]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switcher_kis/#service-switcher_kisturn_on_with_timer

[tacit cave]

who tf allowed that service

if that service exists, make sure you're tapping on the correct area

[dark dirge]

I asked the same thing 🙂

BTW, it looks like it supports both data: and service_data::

            hass.callService(
                domain,
                service,
                actionConfig.data ?? actionConfig.service_data,
                actionConfig.target
            );

[tacit cave]

yea been that way for some time now

[dark dirge]

I wasn't sure if Mushroom card did. It's card-specific

[tacit cave]

well, it is paul and he goes by the book

I assumed he extended from HA

[dark dirge]

https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/ae80445eb2e81528fa96a997323f25a93d24451b/src/ha/panels/lovelace/common/handle-actions.ts#L9

[tacit cave]

anyways, the tap action looks good, so it's the card or the presser IMO

[dark dirge]

Problem Exists Between Chair And Button

[vivid trout]

ohh busy icon couple of hours for me, 63 added including 5 repaired ones, but most are car brands time for a break lol

[mystic timber]

the service is real yeah lol

and let's say I managed to get the service to work, why I can't see the icon of it?

[reef arrow]

I would like to change the position of two texts in a card. Can this be done with a card-mod or will I have to change the card js file ? I use atomic-revive calendar and I need to swap the position of the description text and the relative time text.

[vast crane]

I'm sort of confused by what your yaml snippet is from. Is this supposed to be a button card? what is "entity_2:" ?

[mystic timber]

looks like that, each button is entity
entity_2 is the button with the no icon

entity_1 is the lightbulb

[vast crane]

what card is this, some custom: thing?

[mystic timber]

room_card

type: custom:button-card
with a template of card_room

[cold stirrup]

Hey guys.. I've installed Mushroom from HACs and restarted a few times... but it doesn't show up as a card. I'm using the Docker image.. has anyone seen this before?

[dark dirge]

Did you clear your browser cache?

[cold stirrup]

I did.

When I go into HACs I see a red message saying "You have 1 lovelace elements that are not loaded properly in Lovelace"

I can't see any other errors, and I assumed the above was because I'm not actually using a card yet?

[dark dirge]

There is a HACS FAQ for that

[cold stirrup]

Found it, thanks. Will go through this

Fixed it, thanks for the guidance!

[icy fjord]

HACS ? as I don't recall this happening before. When I go try to add a card I notice it says "After the download completes, since you are not using lovelace in storage mode you need to manually add the resource with these settings" Before I would just download the card, refresh and it would be available. What changed in my setup?

[blazing wren]

https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/status_not_loaded#lovelace-in-storage-more-ui

[reef arrow]

Hi, I dont know what I'm doing wrong. I can not change the font size of my entity cards. I tried the normal ones and also the mushroom. No way.

At the end of my card I add:

style: |
ha-card {
font-size: {{states('input_number.var_fontsize')}}%;
}

[dark dirge]

how are you trying to do it?

ok

you probably need to surround that template in quotes

[reef arrow]

I also tried with : 120% and 35px

[dark dirge]

"normal" cards don't support stuff like that unless you have card_mod installed

[reef arrow]

I have install and on a glance card it runs like a charm

installed^

Its easier to show, than to explain 🙂 Here :

The entity cards also have the same mod code at the end, but the font does not change

card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
font-size: {{states('input_number.var_fontsize')}}%;
}
.card-header {
font-size: {{states('input_number.var_titlefontsize')}}%;
}

what am I doing wrong ?

mushroom-template-cards also do not function

rest is fine

when I reopen the card config, ha adds a null after card mod. It says then :

card_mod: null
style: |
ha-card {
font-size: {{states('input_number.var_fontsize')}}%;
}

the null is added by ha itself

but only on entity and mushroom-template-cards

What is also not scaled up are the input box fonts. (180 and 200 in second picture)

I tried with : .mdc-text-field__input {
font-size: 200%;
}
for example, but no go

[sudden lotus]

is there a way to work out the config of an auto generated card on the default catch all dashboard?

[shell torrent]

Is it possible to create a template link in a markdown card (for example) that links directly to the more-info?

I would like the underlined entity in the pic to the open more-info dialog directly, without having to go via Dev Tools > States and search for it

[fiery ledge]

using a script, I need the language of the Home Assistant user, however this: let formattedDate = date.toLocaleDateString(navigator.language, options); is always in my computer settings, and not the profile language.

when I try this._hass.language or selected_language an 'undefined is not an object' error happens..

is there any documentation on how to retrieve that info from the HA config?

aware browser_mod.hass.selectedLanguage returns "en" in the inspector, but that isnt the correct format for the toLocaleDateString() which needs "en-US".

[signal bloom]

gents, what light sliding cards are you using ? I'd like to have nice cards with sliders, something that looks good 🙂

[lyric prairie]

The mushroom or minimalist light cards

[signal bloom]

ok I was giving a try to custom:slider-button-card

and I'm surprised it do display blue as color by default (gradient)

I was expecting it to read the value of my lights colors, but in the end, my basement lights (cave) are not color bulbs

I've tried to force this by adding color: gold

but it's still blue

[lyric prairie]

No color bulbs will display yellow/orange at least in the above mentioned cards, never used custom:slider-button-card

Here are instructions to change the default on state color https://github.com/mattieha/slider-button-card#styles

[signal bloom]

cool thanks !

hmmm use state color: true

and still it's blue

Trying mushroom now

but I cannot get it to showt he slider as in your screenshot

[lyric prairie]

https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/main/docs/cards/light.md

[signal bloom]

well yes

brightness control is enabled

🙂

hmmm, could it be because I am acting on a group ?

ok got it, my basement light group is a hroup of sonoff on/off switches, actually

therefore, no brightness management is possible

[zealous jungle]

Hey, not sure what i'm doing wrong. I'm trying to get the attribute "is_heating" but am getting undefined

          - operator: "template"
            icon: "mdi:fire"
            value: >
              [[[
                if (variables.entity_2.entity_id) {
                  return variables.entity_2.entity_id.attributes.is_heating == true
                }
              ]]]
            styles:
              icon:
                - color: "rgba(var(--color-red),1)"```

[lyric prairie]

return states(variables.entity_2.entity_id).atrributes.is_heating == true

[cold stirrup]

Does anyone know which mushroom card to use for a camera stream? If I use entity, I have to click it to get the stream.. but I'd like the live stream on the dashboard. It looks like they don't have picture entity, so perhaps it's not possible with a mushroom card.

[signal bloom]

I'm also struggling with my cameras, they use x256 as codec (EZVIZ cameras) and I cannot get them to simply play live on the dashboard

If anyone have a solution to allow me to see my IP cameras live, it would be great

I only get snapshots for now

[cold stirrup]

If you just add by entity, does HA choose a suitable card for you? Mine work fine if I use picture entity card.. but I can't find the mushroom equivelant.

[balmy plume]

Hi, I want to visualise the location of my phone (Google Pixel 6 Pro with the homeassistant app installed and geolocation sensor activated) in a map card. But all I try results in a map without any datapoints. The entity is called sensor.pixel_6_pro_geocoded_location and it works with other cards but not with the map.

Here is a screenshot of the location attributes:

And this is what I wrote in the code editor for the map:

type: map
entities:
  - sensor.pixel_6_pro_geocoded_location
dark_mode: false
hours_to_show: 24

But the map does not show anything.

I am using Home Assistant 2023.1.5, Frontend 20230110.0 - latest

[charred nebula]

I tried that, the problem with that is bamndwidthamd traffic, as it will stream the full image

when I was testing it was better to go with the button, this when set to auto will update like every 5-10 secs

then when you tap it will open

It would be awesome if you could have a very low refresh rate when there is no movement and full video if there is movement detected

[vast crane]

From the docs: *Only entities that have latitude and longitude attributes will be displayed on the map. *Doesn't look like your sensor has that. Doesn't the mobile app create a device_tracker. type entity for you?

[balmy plume]

latitude and longitude are available in the "Location" attribute as a 2-tuple. I have made this entry unrecognizable in the screenshot.

[vast crane]

The map must not understand that. Other device trackers have one latitude: attribute, and one longitude: attribute.

[balmy plume]

I just found the device_tracker entity but it does not show any data. Maybe I have to enable it in the app somehow. I'll try to find the setting for that.

I can not find a dedicated entry for it in the app.

[vast crane]

what do you mean "does not show any data" exactly?

does it have a state? does it have attributes? is it disabled?

[balmy plume]

There is just not a single entry:

[vast crane]

Check in developer tools -> states

[balmy plume]

This one?

[vast crane]

yep. hmm not sure why that would be unknown. maybe check that the app has location permissions?

you can read this but I'm not sure if it will help: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/core/location/#android-location-sensors

[balmy plume]

Oh, I see. I did not enable the correct sensor. I only enabled "geocoded location" but not "Single Accurate Location" and "Background Location".

Thank you. The mystery is now solved.

Too bad all the other location data from the other sensor from the past weeks is useless now. But that's okay I guess.

[vast crane]

Well by default it's all purged after 10 days anyway

[balmy plume]

oh, really?

Why is that?

[vast crane]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/recorder/#auto_purge

[balmy plume]

My target is to never delete anything. I will take a look into the configuration.

And I also want to migrate to influxdb soon. I already use it for other time series data.

[amber hull]

Have any browser mod users noticed since upgrading to 2023.1.5 that the size of browser_mod.popup has changed and is about 25% wider on size: normal?

[keen vault]

how can I force a picture-entity image to refresh? I have a conditional card that only shows the picture entity when I have motion at my front door (Ring Camera). While the card loads almost instantly after motion, the image is still old. If I manually refresh the dashboard a second or two later, it has an updated snapshot. I have the picture-entity set to "camera_view: live", but it's still not updating. Am I missing something?

[blazing wren]

That's a combination of browser caching and how long it takes for the picture to be updated. Where does the picture come from?

[keen vault]

The Ring camera (integrated with the Ring MQTT AddOn). I get the delay in updating, but the problem is I can't get the dashboard picture to update on its own. If I manually refresh it a couple seconds after the motion is registered, it works

[blazing wren]

Is it a picture or a video feed? And if it's a picture, what is generating the picture?

[keen vault]

picture. The MQTT integration with the Ring camera updates a snapshot image

and I can get a URL to the image itself.. e.g. http://homeassistant:8123/api/camera_proxy/camera.front_door_snapshot?token=TOKEN_VALUE

[blazing wren]

Manually refreshing tells the browser to look for new data, otherwise it's probably just showing you the image that's in the browser cache (very likely if the entity card is showing say doorbell.png and the contents of doorbell.png are being updated)

[keen vault]

I was thinking to update this URL to use: http://homeassistant:8123/api/camera_proxy/camera.front_door_snapshot?token=TOKEN_VALUE&a=LAST_MOTION_TIMESTAMP to force a new URL, but not sure how to reference that in a picture card if I go that route

right now I'm using a picture-entity card

[blazing wren]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/picture-entity/#examples

[polar kelp]

Why not show the camera instead?

[blazing wren]

Example 3 shows what you want I think

[polar kelp]

The things you have to do when green

[keen vault]

ok, let me try that!

[blazing wren]

Though that is the tap action. I don't show pictures from my camera on my dashboard

I just have a video stream

[keen vault]

trying to use a conditional card to pop up a picture entity whenever there's motion on my small dashboard

otherwise the camera view is hidden

[blazing wren]

But as Thomas says, why not a camera feed?

[keen vault]

doesn't seem to work right.. I think that's the way Ring doorbell cameras work

can't seem to tap into a live feed like I would for another typical security camera

[blazing wren]

Well you're using an MQTT integration.

I'm using Scrypted and it seems to work here

[polar kelp]

I think example 3 is the opposite. It will create a new snapshot file from the camera feed. Or am I wrong?

[blazing wren]

Yes, I think you're right Thomas. 2 hours of podcasting (including 30 minutes about HA), clearly frazzled my brain

[keen vault]

I'll try Example 3 to see if it works (though I want to do it without needing a tap action)

thanks for the help!

[polar kelp]

Wait. The example does two things. The camera_view: live looks promising.

[keen vault]

I have that set

[polar kelp]

...assuming it's a camera feed instead of a static url

[keen vault]

doesn't seem to update though, which is odd

[blazing wren]

I suspect it's the MQTT integration you're using

It might be worth checking the forums to find out what else people are using

I know Scrypted seems to work fine for me

[keen vault]

will do

are you using a Ring camera as well?

[blazing wren]

I have one.

[reef arrow]

Hi, is it possible to change the font size of the calendar panel ? Not the card, I know how to do this, I need the panel in the left menu to get bigger fonts. Can this be done ?

[grim tendon]

Does anyone have a link to documentation about the logic behind the arrows on cards in the dashboard? It's doing my head in.

[glacial lynx]

Hello, do you know if there is a way to customize the front end of the energy dashboard ?

[vivid trout]

is there anyway of overlapping icons at all? I know its possible in picture elements card, but is it possible in custom button card

[kind cedar]

I’m trying to change the background colour of a card based on its state eg if the light is on then background green and if it’s off then red. I’ve tried the below code but it doesn’t work. I’m probably missing something simple.

type: custom:button-card
entity: light.hall
name: Home
styles:

• background-color:
  • state: 'on'
    color: green
  • state: 'off'
    color: red

[golden mist]

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

[fiery ledge]

still new to Mushroom, I have a minor issue activating a hue scene on a chip, need we list them twice? https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mushroom-cards-build-a-beautiful-dashboard-easily/388590/5027

[kind cedar]

Brilliant thanks for that basbruss it works perfectly - I’ve spent longer than I’d like to admit trying to get that work!

[vapid field]

is it required to add a resource in the yaml file when installing for instance apexcharts-card? HACS itself doesn't have the integration so I added the file myself in /config/www and added the resource in the dashboard configuration, but the card will consistently fail to load with a Custom element doesn't exist: apexcharts-card. message.

Steps are as follows: I tried to install apexcharts through HACS: couldn't do it. Apexcharts doesn't appear in any of the repositories but when then manually trying to add it it complains it already exists.
Gave up on HACS and instead took the .js file itself and placed it in /config/www/apexcharts-card.js myself.
Went to the dashboard resource panel and added a new module of type Javascript and with the resource URI /local/apexcharts-card.js. Then restarted HA and refreshed my browser cache in the mean time.
When HA came back up I tried adding a card of type custom:apexcharts-card, which then complains about the custom element not existing

no amount of restarting HA or clearing caches fixes it, and even in a private browsing window it doesn't show up

I don't have an ui-lovelace.yaml file to edit, so I'm wondering if I actually need one

[charred parcel]

hey all. i have a lock entity on my dashboard. is it possible to change the button text from "lock" and "unlock" to something else?

[pseudo arch]

Does anyone have a recommendation to make a radial button float? By float I mean that I would like it to stay in the bottom right of the page as a I scroll down the interface for different rooms. I've tried researching this but I don't think I'm using the correct term by saying float haha

[urban tangle]

if anyone knows of a way to add a button to a reed sensor please let me know, instead of it saying "open/closed" for status if the button could just be there that is what i am looking for since the icon has an open/closed garage door already indicating the current state

[fading otter]

Hi
Im pretty new to Yaml and im trying to get the colour of the icons to change when its the day before garbage pick up. Any suggestions for a newbi?
square: false
columns: 1
type: grid
cards:

• type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
  entity: sensor.skald
  name: Skrald
  fill_container: false
  icon_type: icon
• type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
  entity: sensor.pap_og_plast
  icon: mdi:recycle
  fill_container: false

[urban tangle]

i see this thread online that is basically the same https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-use-a-template-to-change-the-icon-colour-when-its-a-negative-or-positive-number/408920/6

it just uses a entity state vs a date like u are wanting

[tight steeple]

Anyone know of a card that's just a basic number input field? No name,state,icon or anything

[urban tangle]

anyone know what the issue is here?

[dark dirge]

you tried to use a template where it's not allowed

although it looks like it is allowed, so probably just the editor disliking it incorrectly:

icon template (optional)
Defines a template for the icon of the entity.

check you config in HA and don't rely on something else to tell you what's right or wrong

[urban tangle]

do i just try to install it?

[dark dirge]

?

what are you "installing"?

[golden mist]

• HAOS ha core check
• Container uses docker commands
• Core requires you to activate the venv first

[dark dirge]

you do that to see if your config is correct and don't rely on an editor that thinks it knows what's correct

[urban tangle]

now it does this

ERROR Error while reading config: Invalid YAML syntax:

im on day like 30 of trying to figure out how to change an icon in a button lol

[dark dirge]

you removed the >- 🤷

also, this is for ESPHome???

[urban tangle]

yes

[dark dirge]

then you're in the wrong server

[urban tangle]

it has to do with the front end not esphome

[dark dirge]

I'm confused - you're in the #frontend-archived channel asking about a template button #integrations-archived , but you're trying to include it in an ESPHome configuration?

no, it doesn't

[urban tangle]

i thgought cards were frontend?

[dark dirge]

you're defining an icon, but it's not anything to do with the frontend dashboard config

that's not a card

it's a button

#integrations-archived

[urban tangle]

what do i need to edit where to just simply change the icon of a button on a card

[dark dirge]

note the "integrations:" https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/

in "/config/esphome/garage-door.yaml", line 49, column 8:
{% if is_state("binary_sensor.no ...

what is that doing in an "esphome" directory?

it belongs under template: in configuration.yaml

[urban tangle]

ah

[dark dirge]

and it needs to be formatted as a list, as in the docs I just pointed to

[urban tangle]

that will apply to all buttons tho?

[dark dirge]

no?

you're defining a single button

it seems like you're mixing up a few things

I suggest reviewing the link above

actually, it seems like you're really talking about this: https://esphome.io/components/button/index.html

which means you're way off in the weeds

[urban tangle]

yes

[dark dirge]

there's no indication that it supports a template there

[urban tangle]

u see the icon there ```yaml

Example button configuration

button:

• platform: ...
  name: Livingroom Lazy Mood
  id: my_button

  Optional variables:

  icon: "mdi:emoticon-outline"
  on_press:

  • logger.log: "Button pressed"```

i want that to change based on another entities state

[dark dirge]

you're in the wrong server for this

https://discord.gg/cTGxvQvG

[urban tangle]

im in that server they said the same thing sent me here

because they said it is custom template in HA

[dark dirge]

well, you're talking about the ESPHome config...

[urban tangle]

my esphome device works fine to my knowledge

[dark dirge]

and this doesn't say anything about supporting a template:

icon (Optional, icon): Manually set the icon to use for the button in the frontend.

you agree that what you posted is the ESPHome config, right?

and nothing to do with HA

[urban tangle]

yes but u are telling me i need to change it elsewhere or no?

im so confused

[dark dirge]

I'm telling you that the icon: field does not support templates, based on the ESPHome docs

HA can't do anything about that

[urban tangle]

both servers are telling me to go to the other server

[dark dirge]

ok

[urban tangle]

so if u buy a smart bulb at walmart u cant change the icon for that smart bulb?

[dark dirge]

you can't use a template there, it's that simple

what does that have to do with ESPHome?

[urban tangle]

nothing which is why im asking what to edit lol

it has nothing to do with the device used i need to change the icon for the card based on an entities state

[dark dirge]

there's nothing to edit

you can't do what you're asking

there's no general answer to that, it's very important that you be specific about what you're trying to do

[tidal vale]

okay maybe i shouldn't ask this here since it's a minimalist thing but i have this tap_action on a card but when i press it i get the following error Failed to call service light/toggle. must contain at least one of entity_id, device_id, area_id

[dark dirge]

you have no indentation there

[golden mist]

YAML is the mark up language used by Home Assistant, consistent indenting (two spaces per level) is key. Here is a primer, and this explains multi-line templates. For validating YAML see YAML Lint.

[urban tangle]

this card yes

the reed sensor says closed

when door opens it says open and the icon of the garage is open like the top one

instead of having 4 items on this card i basically just want to put the button press where it says open/closed

[tidal vale]

with indentation it doesn't work either

both don't work

[dark dirge]

ok. you cannot use a template in the ESPHome config as you were attempting to do. If you want to configure how a button appears and acts in HA, you can create a template button that references the one exposed by ESPHome

the link above should help

[urban tangle]

ok thats what i need to do

[blazing wren]

Maybe a template switch as it has two states?

[urban tangle]

i basically want the icon of "North Door" to reflect the status of "North Door Status"

[blazing wren]

But wow was this a rollercoaster to read up until here.

[urban tangle]

so when the door is open the icon changes to an open garage door

[blazing wren]

Template button assuming there's one button that toggles open/close.

[urban tangle]

yes

[dark dirge]

then I suspect that you did it wrong

[urban tangle]

the button is just this ```yaml
button:

• platform: template
  name: "North Door"
  on_press:
  • switch.turn_on: relay
  • delay: 250ms
  • switch.turn_off: relay```

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: GPIO4
    name: "North Garage Door Relay"
    id: relay
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF
    internal: true```

which triggers this

[blazing wren]

If you already have a template button then look at the docs for it.

I'm 99% sure they have an example with the icon changing.

[dark dirge]

that's all ESPHome stuff

[blazing wren]

The button template looked like HA to me.

[dark dirge]

nope

[blazing wren]

But a HA button template can press a button added to HA.

[dark dirge]

see the link I posted above. "on_press:" and such

yes, that's what I suggested

[urban tangle]

ok so i need to edit this in esphome or HA

[blazing wren]

Create a NEW button template in HA following the documentation

Put that on your dashboard.

And please label configs coming from ESPHome as such when posting them in the HA discord 🤪

[urban tangle]

so custom button card goes in configuration.yaml

[errant monolith]

figured it out

[fading otter]

I see what you mean by the link my issue is how I set it to understand the switching dates %d-%b-%Y. So it needs to read the "next" date and act based on that

[urban tangle]

what is the name of the service to just press a button

[blazing wren]

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

[urban tangle]

ffs lol

i cant i just wtf is thsi

tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: button.press
  target:
    entity_id: button.south_door

"must contain at least one of "entidy_id.."

[dark dirge]

change "target" to "data"

[urban tangle]

failed to call service still

tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: button.press
  data:
    entity_id: button.south_door

name is correct

[blazing wren]

What is the YAML for your whole card?

[golden mist]

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

[urban tangle]

now i have the card the way i want it but cant call the button lmao

[blazing wren]

This is mine:

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
entity: button.washing_machine_power
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: button.press
  data: {}
  target:
    entity_id: button.washing_machine_power

Why don't you just set the show as property for the binary sensor to door so you can skip the label template?

[urban tangle]

because after 4 hours my mind doesnt even work anymore

ive coded c++ for 8 years and never in my life have i ever even came close to this much of a struggle

i just cant comprehend why the official documentations example doesnt even work

is it really this complicated like im actually going insane

how do i look at the yaml for the original button maybe i can copy that

found it ya its the same spelling and everything

[blazing wren]

The problem is you're mixing and matching between multiple systems, that makes it more complicated.

[dark dirge]

You're reading the documentation for the integration and how it's used in the backend, while you're coding cards in the frontend

They are different

[blazing wren]

You did ask what the service was called, but I'm not sure why you're writing raw YAML to create a button card when you can do it all in the GUI

[urban tangle]

omg i got it working

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

[vale mortar]

I've got a very strange problem with an input_select + button card, controlling a few media_player entities. I have an input_select populated with internet radio URLs (currently only 2 entries), and buttons for each media_player, currently all living in a vertical-stack card.

The intended flow is that I select which station I want to listen to from the input_select, then click the button of the corresponding media_player I'd like to start playing that station.

While this does work, in order for it to start playing the station URL I have just selected, I have to push the media_player button twice. The first press starts the media_player with the previously selected URL, the second press begins playing the station I actually selected.

See above post for YAML

[polar kelp]

I thinkyou should take that tap_action and put it into a script instead, and then just call that script from the button.

Then you can skip the entire config-template-card and won't have any problems with what updates when.

[mortal compass]

Is it possible to set the accent colour to a specific hex/hsl value? I can only use these sliders from the native colour picker.

[polar kelp]

You can set it in a theme

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/frontend/#theme-format

[vivid trout]

hey thomasloven, is there anyway have one custom button card containing 2 custom button cards within it? or place a picture elements card within a button card to keep aspect ration on two different screens?

[mortal compass]

Thanks, I'll look into creating a theme 👍

[vivid trout]

I am trying to make this but keep it within the 1/1 aspect ratio

[polar kelp]

I'm not the developer of custom button card.

I don't even use it

[vivid trout]

np, I worked out a fix, grid card with picture elements card and 2 custom button cards in the picture elements card 😛

Hi, why media card for device does not show stream information, like radio station, or song name ? When I play same stream in VLC, I can see all information. I use this service with parameters

    data:
      media_content_id: "http://"
      media_content_type: music

Do I have to configure it somewhere ?

[fiery ledge]

just realized the core button card does not execute the button entity upon clicking? Believed it was explicitly designed to do so...```

• type: button
  entity: button.screen_keuken_my_position

is that a bug?

I need some input, how would you solve the need for a bookmark list? I have so many hosted services on my server, i need a central point to link them all, so i can access them everywhere without looking up the port they are running on or sharing bookmarks over all devices. Is there a UI element that works well for that case? Maybe even with the option to automatically set an icon to the favicon of the page or something like that

My HA install is pretty vanilla currently as well, so i guess there are many things to figure out for me in general

[lyric prairie]

You can also put any type of card within a custom:button-card with the help of custom_fields

[golden mist]

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

[lyric prairie]

@primal spindle custom:button-card does not support Jinja2 templates, but you will need to use JavaScript instead for the volume_level input, also it is better to use the entity_id instead of the device_id

A javascript template to use will look like

volume_level: "[[[ return parseFloat(states('media_player.keuken_speaker').attributes.volume_level) - 0.01; ]]]"

Hello guys,
I've got a problem with the layout-card. The code for the layout itself looks like this:

grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr
grid-template-areas: |
  "person_x person_x person_y person_y"
  "chip chip chip chip"
  "title_devices title_devices title_devices title_devices"
  "vacuum . . ."
  ...

The cards itself only have this:

view_layout:
  grid-area: person_x

nothing else related to the layout-card.

Everything works fine until I resize under a specific width (especially not working in companion app). From then on column 1 and 2 resize slower than columns 3 and 4. Anyone knows why this could happen or how to prevent it?

Forget it. It's because of the 1fr thing...

grid-template-columns: 25% 25% 25% 25%

fixed it. The question remaining to me is, why didn't it work with the 1fr?

[polar kelp]

Could be because fr has to keep recalculating in comparison to each other while % is calculated once in comparison to your screen width.

☝️ pure guesswork

[mystic timber]

hi, is it possible to create a new view in my dashboard and if a person clicks on that view button it will navigate him to another view (that in different dashboard)?

[flat widget]

@polar kelp At least it works now 🙂 Thanks for your great work!

[flat widget]

Of course, you would need to set the tap_action's action to navigate. See https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/actions/#tap-action.

  type: your-card-type
  tap_action:
    action: navigate
    navigation_path: "your-dashboard-name/your-view-name"
  ...

[mystic timber]

but i don't want a card, I want as soon as person click on the view tab it will navigate him

[lyric prairie]

Then you will need to fill that tab with all state-switch cards, that can identify users

[mystic timber]

If a person click on this icon (which is located in 'Wall Tablet' dashboard) that he will be redirected to a tab that already exist in 'Mobile' dashboard

  - theme: Backend-selected
    icon: mdi:robot-vacuum-variant
    path: robot
    tap action:
      action: navigate
      navigation_path: /dashboard-mobile/robot
    badges: []
    cards: []

It's not redirecting me when I click on the icon of the view

[calm plover]

worked, thanks!

[lyric prairie]

Tap actions work only on cards not on tabs

[primal spindle]

Wow thanks! Thank you for helping me further, just tried it. Doesn't give me an error, but it doesn't change my volume. Will have to do some more research. Have a good weekend

[mystic timber]

So it's impossible to do what I'm expecting it to do? worst case I will just copy the entire view into the new view

[lyric prairie]

You can do two things:

1. make a button with a navigate action within state switch, so the link can be different for each user
2. create a view with only state switch cards and change the cards inside based on the user

[keen vault]

using the custom:button-card, is there a way to run two different service calls based on state? Problem is that the two service calls need different service data, specifically to either call the media_player.join call if a sonos speaker is ungrouped, or a media_player.unjoin call. The service_data: section varies based on the service call.

[dark dirge]

create a script and call it

I don't think it supports more than one action there

I am using mushroom light card to control an mqtt light, and when I set the slider to 100% the card sends a number 80 to my mqtt broker, why could this be happening

[tawny cloak]

Controlling HA using my mobile is slow, too slow to my liking. The slowness being the time that it takes to set up the communication and the screen (after that it is fine).
Every time I want to switch on a light I take my mobile, press the HA icon, it starts, usually it says it needs to refresh the external url, it loads the initial screen, then there's another 'loading data' and screen rebuild and only then it is ready to accept the tap on the light button.
Is there a way to speed this up?

Just click the "+" there to the right of "Home", and it will add multiple panels. If you give each panel an icon I think it will show them.

I had the same, took some working out to get over the differences in versions.. but you'll get there.

[unique vessel]

You didn't go with mushroom ?

[cold stirrup]

I tried it, I didn't like it so much.

I also tried out Dwains Dashboard too.

But I like the style of the minimilist UI stuff.. and there are a lot of custom cards

true it's the best imo

oh ok thanks mate !

Will bookmark it 🙂

So it doesn't get lost.. is anyone able to point me in the direction of resizing the camera card? I tried changing the px values of the custom_card.. but no bueno! It's fixed in a size comparible to one column of the above grid

The indentation of the last grid card looks off

[cold stirrup]

Oh, should it be a grid within a grid?

[lyric prairie]

No, with this indentation it's exactly a grid within the grid of the person cards

[cold stirrup]

Ah yes, true.. but.. if I indent it in.. the camera moves along to the right..

This size is great, I just want it below the people

[lyric prairie]

That's just the basic masonry lay-out of HA

You can fix that by adding all grid cards into the same vertical stack card

[cold stirrup]

Ooh, let me try that..

That takes me back to where I was 😦

[cold stirrup]

Hmm, that's what I tried.. I'll look closer

Oh wow.. that's done it 🙂

could that easily be done with one script, template'ed some how, or do I need one unique script per media player?

If you call a script with yaml service: script.my_script data: variable: value media_player: media_player.tv you can use {{variable}} and {{media_player}} in templates in your script.

Hi 🙂
Can you customize the deafult box that pop up when you long press a light? I really want it to bring up my phillips hue scenes. All the scenes are entities and I can see then when I look at the specifc light

Look up "browser_mod".

[pliant kayak]

I hope I'm in the right channel. I just noticed the plex integration creates a new media player for every time you watch something on the plex webpage in incognito mode. After you close it it is never deleted. i currently have over 50 Browser plex media player, that don't have any connection to anything. Is there a way to delete them automatically or do I need to delete them every time i watch something on plex via Browser?

That' an #integrations-archived issue. Turn off discovering new entities, or stop watching Plex in incognito mode 😉

the card isn't the problem, your template is

[fading otter]

I see 🙂 so im trying to get the color of the icon to changed the day before garbage is collected.
So based on the given date that is set it needs to change

Attribute Description
next_date The date of next collection

so trying to use this attribute

icon_color: |-
{% if state.sensor.skald.next_date %}
red
{% else %}
blue
{% endif %}

[dark dirge]

right, that's still wrong

see that link I posted

you're also not testing that for anything 🤷

I'm just piecing things together from random posts and code, but you want it to be red if the next_date attribute is within 2 days from now?

[fading otter]

1 day before the pick up date 🙂

it gets its date from a helper that just have the dates

[dark dirge]

my guess:
{{ iif(state_attr('state.sensor', 'next_date')|as_datetime - now() < timedelta(days=2), 'red', 'blue') }}

but please do read the link I posted

[fading otter]

For sure I will read it. Good to have something to fall back on next time. So I tweaked your code abit, and it seems to accept it. gonna try and see if I can test it with a new helper

But thanks alot RobC kudos to you for helping a newcommer 🙂

[dark dirge]

test the template in -> Templates and make sure it's returning what you expect

[fading otter]

not sure how to do that. Ill give google a go

[dark dirge]

just paste it in there

nothign to it

go there, paste, observe output

[fading otter]

yea, it doesnt change 😦 It might be abit out of my reach for now.

square: false
columns: 1
type: grid
cards:

• type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
  entity: sensor.test
  name: Skrald
  fill_container: false
  icon_type: icon
  icon_color: >-
  { if(state_attr('state.sensor', 'next_date')|as_datetime - now() < timedelta(days=2), 'red', 'blue') }}

[dark dirge]

that isn't what I gave you 🙂

go back and look again

and please, use the dev tools like I suggested

you're going to have a bad day if you don't follow normal debugging procedures

[fading otter]

It wont eat your code as it is. Let me read up on debugging procedures, before I waist more of your time

[dark dirge]

alright

I had a typo, and had to add something to make it work for me:
{{ iif(state_attr('sensor.landscape', 'next_date').isoformat()|as_datetime - now() < timedelta(days=2), 'red', 'blue') }}

that works fine for me

[fading otter]

I wish I was experiencing the same success 😄

[dark dirge]

have you done this yet? #frontend-archived message

[fading otter]

yea its returning this
square: false
columns: 1
type: grid
cards:

• type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
  entity: sensor.test
  name: Skrald
  fill_container: false
  icon_type: icon
  icon_color:red

[dark dirge]

is that the right color?

you're missing a space, at least

[fading otter]

it is. based on the test entity i have set

[dark dirge]

excellent

[fading otter]

but the icon isnt changing 😄

[dark dirge]

well, you at least need a space after :

and I think you need to use a mushroom template card or something to use templates, but 🤷

[unkempt egret]

does anybody know how to get rid of the play/scrub bar at the bottom of the live feed of the frigate card?

[loud finch]

I'm looking for card like room-card ( https://github.com/marcokreeft87/room-card/wiki/Configuration#actions ) but ideally it would have one action on click (ie. turn light on off) and on long click it would open "dialog window"/modal or whatever it is called, or just "bubble" from the icon, that would show more settings (for the light example color temp. brightness; for ie. hvac it could be setting ... well I guess in case of hvac it would open more settings on regular click)

Is there some like that?

[keen vault]

why would my custom-button card icon color not change when using color: "[[[ return 'green';]]]"? (trying remove the coding element from this to troubleshoot). If I replace with green, obviously it works just fine. I have working code to change up the call_service value, but color doesn't seem to want to stick

Hello guys, I'm currently playing with auto-entities to automatically add entities to my dashboard when I add them (I'm moving in the next to years so this will come in handy)

Is there any way to pass more variables from the filled entities? I see there is a "magic value" this.entity_id but I need something like friendly_name or other attributes from the auto-filled entities.

Hi, I have a problem with mushroom cards
But only with my lenovo smart display, on computer iOS and other android devices it works well even outside of my home on new devices (not a cache problem)
Any ideas ?
Here is my config for my dashboard :

thing is, it was working on this device before, do i know that it's not a limitation of this device somehow but something that changed in the config i guess

but for me everything look alright

on hacks: mini-graph-card (only card working on the lenovo hub) + mushroom integration, below UI Lovelace Minimalist Settings:

its been days and i don't have a clue about whats wrong lmao

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

[cold stirrup]

Oh sorry about that.. too many lines. 😦

In case people don't have time to download the text file.. I'm trying to change the background color for a binary sensor card to change based on the state... I think I'm most of the way there with ``` styles:
card:
- background-color: >-
[[[
if (states[variables.camera.state] == "open") {
return 'rgba(var(--color-background-red), 0.2)';
else
return 'var(--ha-card-background, var(--card-background-color, white))';
}
]]]

But perhaps I'm putting the styles part in the wrong place? Because now the card does not show up.

[dark dirge]

what does variables.camera.state resolve to?

[cold stirrup]

        columns: 1
        square: false
        cards:
          - type: 'custom:button-card'
            template: card_binary_sensor
            variables:
              ulm_card_binary_sensor_alert: true
              ulm_show_last_changed: false
              camera: cover.smart_garage_door_2203188494090036103248e1e98c0b2c_garage
            entity: cover.smart_garage_door_2203188494090036103248e1e98c0b2c_garage

[dark dirge]

you can't just add ".state" to that to get the state of that entity

[cold stirrup]

Oh 😂

[dark dirge]

this whole part is weird:
states[variables.camera.state] == "open"

[cold stirrup]

If I check the state of that entity though in states.. I see open or closed.

[dark dirge]

you want states[variables.camera].state == "open"

[cold stirrup]

Oh I see, you're right.. that would make more sense.

Still failing though.

Now I'm seeing an error.

[dark dirge]

you have an opening { and then way later the closing }

[cold stirrup]

line 17, column 9 could not find expected ':' in line 18, column 11

[dark dirge]

it's broken syntax

[cold stirrup]

Ah yes, the brackets maybe not needed

[dark dirge]

you either need to put each on a single line, or fix the matching {}

[cold stirrup]

I thought this may be correct, but I'm still getting an error - background-color: >- [[[ if (states[variables.camera].state == "open") { return 'rgba(var(--color-background-red), 0.2)'; } else { return 'var(--ha-card-background, var(--card-background-color, white))'; } ]]]

[dark dirge]

you also need to fix your indentation

example from mine:

    styles:
      icon:
        - color: >
            [[[
              if (entity.state === variables.normal) return "green";
              else return "red";
            ]]]

[cold stirrup]

Ah nice. I tabbed it in and now the error has gone.

Awesome!! That works great! Thanks for the help there.

It's really helpful to have the card red if the garage door is open!

I thought I'd add an 'OR' for "opening" to have it turn red immediately...

I was assuming OR would be || ?

if (states[variables.camera].state == "open") || (states[variables.camera].state == "opening") {

[dark dirge]

it's Javascript

and that's not correct syntax

[cold stirrup]

Ah cool. Thanks

[dark dirge]

remove the ) ( from the middle

[cold stirrup]

Nice, working now. Thanks again.

Took some inspiration from your example. Turns out I didn't need to add the variable at all. I can just use entity.state

[timid beacon]

Is there a way to display an entity with auto-entities based on the state of a different entity?

[gentle grail]

Hi everyone,
does anyone know a similar looking alternative for the banner-card (https://github.com/nervetattoo/banner-card)
Since the project is dead and the switch entity does not work anymore.

Thanks in advance.

[gaunt birch]

hi, any idea on how to customize open/closed icon for an entity ?

i'm using mqtt integration, i have "icon" in the configuration but nothing for open/close difference

[timid beacon]

I think the device class may control that? Otherwise if you're talking about doing this on a dashboard, it depends on what card you're using. Some for instance let you use templates to determine what icon is displayed

[gaunt birch]

can we customize our own class ?

[timid beacon]

I don't think so. I think there are specific icons tied to different device classes

[gaunt birch]

i've searched in https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor/ but didn't find anything

[timid beacon]

Ah yeah, that is a perfect illustration of how it works

Either the integration would need to allow you to set the icon via template or the card you're using to display it would need to

[gaunt birch]

set the icon via template ? mmm i'll search this

ah, but i need something like icon_template

[timid beacon]

https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/main/docs/cards/template.md

Here's an instance of doing that with a card

[gaunt birch]

ok

[timid beacon]

Here's an example of it at the integration level:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#icon_template
Which it sounds like you may have found

[gaunt birch]

yeah but i need a icon_template in the configuration file

Hey HA community, I'm trying to recreate the functionality of the LIFX app where when you press on the power button on a light, it brings up a timer to select how long you want to fade out for. I have the helper created with the minimum and maximum values, but beyond that I'm not sure how to create this. Has someone else done something like this? The closest thing I can find is https://community.home-assistant.io/t/light-fader-by-transition-time/99600/35 but I'm not quite sure I can follow how this works, and it also doesn't seem to take advantage of the native fade in or out function. Basically, I'm just wanting to call up the slider, take the value from the slider and pass it into the transition part of the YAML file

[glossy bough]

Hi all. I'm trying to create a wildcard button that takes the user to the appropriate page for them. The names of the bedrooms are set up as /lovelace/users-room, and I was wondering how that might be possible. I'm struggling at the moment to insert the username into the address of the page to navigate to. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could achieve this? Many thanks

[glossy bough]

This is what I have at the moment:

Please do ignore the hold and double-tap actions for now

[tidal dirge]

If you don't need any literal ' characters in the output (which I think not? I don't think Lovelace allows that in dashboard names) then you probably want "/lovelace/{{user}}s-room". That's assuming that field allows templates, which I didn't check, just the template syntax

Though I'm also not sure exactly where user comes from here

[glossy bough]

I assumed because user worked here it would also there, although that doesn't appear to be the case. Unfortunately "/lovelace/{{user}}s-room" doesn't work.

@tidal dirge Thanks for the help. I wonder if there's a better way for me to approach this?

[tidal dirge]

Hm, perhaps you could set up a conditional card? I'm not sure if the logged in user is available there, looking at that now

(I didn't find anything. Perhaps someone else will have a good idea though)

[glossy bough]

Ah well thanks for looking

anyone around using Kios-mode And subviews, and also noticing the subviews actualy still showing the menu items even though setting:```

how can i show an entity status in a if statement ? instead of showing pure text

[crisp rapids]

Any idea why this isn't working on custom button card

type: custom:button-card
entity: input_select.test_optie
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: input_select.select_next
  data: {}
  target:
    entity_id: input_select.test_optie
double_tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: input_select.select_previous
  data: {}
  target:
    entity_id: input_select.test_optie

Cannot service input_select/select_previous niet aanroepen. must contain at least one of entity_id, device_id, area_id.

But does work when using button card in love lace?

[foggy flax]

Is there a way to limit access to certain things on the dashboard for other users? For example I don't want person B to control person A's light through the dashboard

[crisp rapids]

You could use custom state switch

Build your dashboard upon selected user

[foggy flax]

i dont understand?

[flat widget]

That's because custom:button-card uses service_data for that. Replace target with service_data and it works.

[crisp rapids]

Check out https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch

[foggy flax]

i see

[foggy flax]

does that work on the mobile app?

[crisp rapids]

It does for me

[earnest perch]

Is anyone using UI minimalist's light popup? I added ulm_card_light_enable_popup to the light card, but can't get the popup to show in any way

                template: card_light
                entity: light.living_room_ceiling_light

                  ulm_card_light_enable_slider: true
                  ulm_card_light_enable_popup: true

[lyric prairie]

Have you installed browser modV2 ?

[earnest perch]

I think so?

It doesn't show up under Developer Tools -> Services so might have messed something up

Ah, I had to enable the integration 😅

Now it works, thanks @lyric prairie!

[idle current]

this might be a weird question but I couldn't find exact resources to find an answer. Is it possible to have a dashboard main page like this : I want the buttons on each room to trigger a short video (basically a transition animation from overhead view to individual room) and after that another dashboard page (room specific with more details). If the answer is yes could someone point me towards the right documentation or examples? thanks in advance!

[compact pebble]

I am having trouble configuring the minimalist ui adaptive dashboard right side popup. I can see the cards fine, but on tap it toggles the device instead of triggering the popup. Also when is the adaptive tap action required? my popup.yaml (https://pastebin.com/WMN1teWP) my main.yaml (https://pastebin.com/ciHMkRch)

[frigid cave]

I finally updated HA core and OS tonight, and now these gray borders appear everywhere. Any idea how I can remove?

[frigid cave]

Figured it out!

[lyric prairie]

The popup is by default triggered with a double tap, also check if you use the correct version of state switch.

I also noticed that you have put the entity of the second light in popup.yaml in the variables, instead of like light 1

[compact pebble]

I am using v 1.9.3 of state machine. Ill double tap it to see what it does

Hey Guys,
does anybody of you know if it is possible to change the sting shown in a Person badge at the top of the Dashboard?
It ccurrently says "Home", but im using HJomeassistant to automate some things in my small bussines. So i'd like it to say something like "Present".

[blazing wren]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zone#home-zone
As it says, customizing the home zone in the UI is not supported, but you can make some changes in the YAML.
That said, for what you want I would create a simple #templates-archived sensor, or use something like the Mushroom Chips with auto-entities to just show the people who are "present"
https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities
https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/main/docs/cards/chips.md

[rugged venture]

Uhh, those tips look amazing!
Template sensors would be great, as they don't require installation of libraries, but Mushroom looks amazing! I think ill try that!
Thank you very much! @blazing wren

[blazing wren]

Install HACS, you will definitely appreciate it 😉

[rugged venture]

I have it in my personal Instance but not in the Business. As by now i've only ever installed 2 HACS Packages, i thought i might omit it there. But now as i like to try Mushroom i'l definitely get it 😄
Or maybe try it at home first 🤔

[sturdy bough]

Hi guys, i've starte using custom button card. It's really nice, but i can't figure out why stiles are not applied to a button that is not from a switch, buta a template sensor. The sensor retturn the washer status in a text format, and the button ignores all styles. If i switch the entity from the sensor to a switch, the button renders with all stiles applied.

[foggy flax]

I've asked if there was a way to control which user has access to certain cards, but I only got to know how to make different cards per user, but I'm lazy (xD) and I don't want to redo it every time I'm adding something new. Is there a way to define users who can interact with it? Like just a list without duplicating cards for each user?

I suspect this is using https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card

[rancid vortex]

Ohhhhh Sorry ! 😂
thanks @blazing wren it was exactly what I needed !

Oh, that must be it. I always think about card layouts that can work on my phone and on my tablet, so I don't suggest fixed size options like this.

howdy all.
I have a picture entity card for my cameras around my house and i was wondering if there's a way to blow up the image when i click on it?

right now it just shows a standard size for all of them and it's not really all that much larger

[vast crane]

Go to Settings->Dashboards . Create a new dashboard, it will be an auto-managed dashboard (like before you 'took control') You can delete your current dashboard if you don't want it anymore.

[keen girder]

I've got a camera entity that shows up on my dashboard, but it seems to only show a still image and not a live feed. I tried making another dashboard, editing it, and setting the "Camera View" setting to "live", but it still seems to be a static image. Anything else I should try?

@zealous jungle You can't with that template, as it evaluates the entity on multiple occasions. Or you need to change everything in the template to make it work

Is there a way to mark certain devices to not be able to be turned off on the default overview dashboard without building a custom dashboard? As an example, when I turn off the Office, I'd prefer all my 3D printer stuff to stay on. All of those switches are from a TP-Link Kasa power strip.

I personally created a separate area for my 3D printer

Same with the wardrobe in my bedroom, etc. Any unique "sub" areas.

[blazing wren]

Create a new dashboard, and do it on that 😉

[deep oasis]

Yeah. I figured that was the answer 😦

[blazing wren]

You don't have to start from an empty page

The separate area as I suggested is a workaround

[deep oasis]

I know. I've been using Home Assistant for awhile, so I'm quite comfortable with that. This was a new home assistant install after the memory card on my last one died and this is how I learned that I really need to backup to my NAS.

[carmine field]

Thanks

[timid beacon]

Are there general strategies for displaying multiple icons at the same time where one icon would typically be?

Sorry, I know that's a broad/vague question, but not sure what's out there. I like to be as terse as possible on my dashboards. For instance, to display charging status of my mouse I'd use a batter icon and a mouse icon.

[keen raven]

is there a way on a gauge card to make the min/max value the result of an entity? i.e. I am trying to make a gauge with either the max or the severities fluxuate based on the octoprint target temps

[umbral harness]

If your temps are fluctuating on your tool head you need to run a pid tune, check wiring, or replace thermistor fyi

[keen raven]

mine arent, just building certain automations related to tool temp and a nice gauge is good to have for heatup and shutdown but temps change based on material. trying to make a nice dashboard for the printer

i can always use some generic temps but was just wondering if there was a way to take it from the entity octoprint sends over

[keen raven]

i guess i could make a card for each material then conditional them on the temp sent over from octoprint 🙂 always many ways to do something it seems

[vast crane]

No, the default frontend cards generally don't support templates.

[keen raven]

thanks, that helps me be sure i wasnt doing it wrong 🙂 you can learn even from your mistakes

[gentle quartz]

Is there any way to simplify the development of a dashboard?

I have the following dashboard code:

[golden mist]

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

[gentle quartz]

The two thermostats are basically the same thing but just with different entitiy IDs. Same layout, same buttons, everything

it feels like I should be able to write that once, and then somehow be able to adapt it by passing it an entity ID

[lyric prairie]

You could use yaml anchors

[opal crown]

Anyone know if I can disable the exploration in the history-explorer card (HACS)? I just want to use it as a better history graph card and want to reclaim the screen real estate from the date and entity options. I can't seem to find the disable option in the docs.

[golden mist]

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

[tender pine]

Any advice?

[covert wren]

I have a derivative sensor that tracks a temperature change over time, but it displays the temperature as just a number over time—without indication that it’s degree Fahrenheit. Is there any way to get it to respect the unit of measure of the original sensor?

I think I used to be able to assign a device class via customizations but that seems to no longer be an option.

[dark dirge]

The docs appear to make clear what the units will be: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/derivative/

[covert wren]

The source sensor has a device class of temperature but seems to be ignoring that. I must be missing something.

[dark dirge]

Maybe give it a unit_of_measurement

[covert wren]

Yeah—trying that now.

That did it!

[quaint snow]

I've been using a button with some templates in it for the name, so it changes depending on state, can you achieve this through the mushroom cards?

Example:

name: |
  [[[
    if (states['binary_sensor.home_assistant_versions_update_available'].state === 'off') return "Current";
    else return "Updates";
  ]]]

[fiery ledge]

use the mushroom-template card and use jinja templates```
- type: custom:mushroom-template-card
primary: >
{{state_attr(entity,'friendly_name')}}
secondary: >
{{states(entity)|title}}
icon: >
mdi:{{iif(is_state(entity,'on'),'coffee','coffee-off')}}
entity: switch.espresso_keuken

check the thread, I posted that 16 minutes before you 😉

[obtuse void]

Hi all, I have something that I want to do and don't know how.
#energy-archived #dashboard #statistics

For electricity (or energy) consumption, there's this nice dashboard out of the box where you can compare a period of consumption with the previous period (e.g. this week vs. last week).
Looks like this:

[spice wedge]

I moved all my mqtt devices to areas and now my dashboard gives:

TypeError: e[0] is undefined

[kindred anchor]

Does anyone have a good template for for ecobee thermostats using the simple thermostat lovelace card?

[maiden drum]

hey everyone. I am working on setting up my Konnected alarm with my MA and I am having trouble getting the card to display the number pad for the code. Here is my YAML code
alarm_control_panel:

• platform: manual
  name: Home Alarm
  code: "00000"
  arming_time: 30
  delay_time: 30
  trigger_time: 180

[dawn acorn]

What about the yaml for your card?

[maiden drum]

type: alarm-panel
states:

• arm_home
• arm_away
  entity: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm

[cobalt gale]

someone can help me to find this feature in code?

[vast crane]

please dont cross post questions to multiple channels.

[blazing wren]

And if you need to find it in the code, you need #devs_frontend-archived. But free tip: Try the translation strings 😉

[maiden rampart]

Hi, I'm trying to use the temperature controls with an mushroom card, but it doesn't show me the slider when I enable the feature. I'm using WLED as integration with SK6812. It works with light groups that contain Phillips Hue strips, but the set color temperature does not account the white channel, only color.

[elder badger]

Good evening,
just a quick one: Is there a way to customize the login page and if so, could you point me in the right direction?

[polar kelp]

Not really, no.

[elder badger]

That's sad. Well, maybe one day...

[umbral harness]

are you talking about rebranding to package and sell it?

[viscid oyster]

hi, help or i will be cold for the night 🤣

so my target temperature is 24, thermometer at 20.3

heater not heating on generic thermosat

[mild veldt]

Doesn’t sound like a frontend issue

[viscid oyster]

i think i've found the reason, but i am not sure

heater: select.livingroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode

i use this entity for heater control instead of the switch entity

with those different states available

is it compatible with the generic thermostat or is a binary switch the only way to do it ?

[blazing wren]

Template fan might suit you better

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/fan.template/

[mild veldt]

Is that the tile card or the custom one?

[viscid oyster]

i only want to use it as a switch between 'off' and comfort actually

i don't mind having those modes

[viscid oyster]

mushroom stock card

[blazing wren]

Then a template switch would work better probably

[viscid oyster]

yeah i was thinking about that

switch as X right ?

[blazing wren]

No

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.template/

The template switch 😉

[viscid oyster]

okay so it should look like that if i got it correctly

so there's 1 entity for the On and another one for the Off State

[blazing wren]

Yes, but do you have two entities for switch bedroom comfort on and off?

[viscid oyster]

but i remembered that switches only have 1 entity from which you can turn on or off

[dawn acorn]

your device doesn't look correct in the template

[blazing wren]

What does your entity look like right now?

[dawn acorn]

test your templates in dev tools

[viscid oyster]

as posted here

the target entity id should be related to the heater entity, i thought it was a name for the switch

[viscid oyster]

hence why i was confused

target:
entity_id: bedroom_heater_device_mode state: "comfort"

i guess something around those lines

[dawn acorn]

you don't have an entity type

[viscid oyster]

bedroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode has 6 possible states

how can i call the right one then

[dawn acorn]

you're typing in your entity name instead of id, I believe

I wish the dev tools didn't hide the entity id once you select one

in states

scroll down below and use the filter

[dawn acorn]

it should be like climate.bedroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode

[viscid oyster]

are you sure it has an entity id ?

[polar kelp]

Stop

[viscid oyster]

it should be written under the attributes sections right

[dawn acorn]

runs

[polar kelp]

Why are you using a select at all? The thermostat entity has comfort and off already.

[viscid oyster]

okay so for the generic_thermostat a switch isn't mendatory

it can deal with entities having multiple options like comfort etc ...

i am not really sure about that taht's the thing

[polar kelp]

What the generic thermostat does is it takes a switch (e.g. one connected to an electric heater) and a temperature sensor, and makes it so that if the sensor registers a lower temp than the set one the heater turns on and vice versa.

Does that apply to your use case?

[viscid oyster]

yes i have a temperature sensor which is now working with the generic_thermostat

but i have trouble setting up the heater on/off

as it's not a switch but multiple modes

[polar kelp]

Then heater: should be the switch entity, e.g. switch.my_electric_heater

[viscid oyster]

that's what we where doing but:

[polar kelp]

How is it multiple modes?

[viscid oyster]

you see

[polar kelp]

What is the hardware you have?

[viscid oyster]

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/064882.html

well i think i should mention that frist

in france we have what we call the "pilot cable"

tldr cable that sends a signal to control your electric individual heater

using a pilot wire allows you to control the state

but:

you have 5 heating modes

and off

[polar kelp]

If you want to use that as a generic thermostat, I guess this is the entity you should use as heater: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/064882.html#switch

[viscid oyster]

= 6 states possible

[polar kelp]

Otherwise it is not a generic thermostat and you should abandon that track.

[dawn acorn]

yep, we are on the right track. your yaml does not specify the entity type. go to template in dev tools and you'll find the templating you are trying to use does not work

[viscid oyster]

it is because i want the comfort mode to be the on has controlling the on state through a switch template

[dawn acorn]

bedroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode is not an entity id

not a full one

[viscid oyster]

yup that's the thing

and about the state as you said

i can't use it because it requires pilot wire to be off

But i need to control the heater using the pilot wire, else you can damage it's internal electronics

so i want bedroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode -> "comfort" to be a switch in order to add it to the generic_thermostat

[polar kelp]

Ok, here is what it sounds like to me.

I would expect that if I had an outlet that I could set to a "comfort" mode it would somehow measure the temperature and turn on and off the heater automatically to keep a comfortable temperature when that mode was active.

[viscid oyster]

i see but how can i get the full one as it dosen't apprear on the dev tools

[polar kelp]

Which is exactly what the generic thermostat does if that is set to "comfort" mode by measuring the temperature and turning on and off the heater to maintain a comfortable temperature.

[dawn acorn]

you showed me a screenshot of a full id. select.livingroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode

[viscid oyster]

it's turning off the heating not the electronics, that's why i use the pilot wire

[polar kelp]

But what you're trying to do is have the Generic Thermostat turn on and off the comfort mode of the outlet such that you get two controllers actively sabotaging each other?

[viscid oyster]

but since it has 6 modes how can i use the comfort one for the switch

[viscid oyster]

not of the outlet but on the heater module

[dawn acorn]

by checking if the mode is on comfort or not off

[blazing wren]

Take a screenshot of the device page for us and share it via Imgur

[viscid oyster]

okay then i think i got it

it should look something like this

[blazing wren]

The device from Z2M that is

But if you already have a switch for comfort, why are you creating a template switch?

[dawn acorn]

that is still not a full entity id 😐 I'm going to let the green people take over. 🙂

[viscid oyster]

okay take 2

this time it should make more sense

[blazing wren]

bedroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode is not an entity id

It's part of an entity id, but it is not an entity id on its own

It's just lonely text

[polar kelp]

First of all: The first response you got was correct: <#frontend-archived message>
Second of all: This sounds like the wrong solution to the actual problem.
Third of all: something like yaml turn_on: service: select.select_option target: entity_id: select.living_room_heater_cable_outlet_mode data: option: comfort should get you started

The select. part of the entity_id is vital - as people keep telling you.

[viscid oyster]

for the Second:

[blazing wren]

No

is_state will not work

Look at what Thomas and I both said

And the service is wrong, you need to look at the example Thomas provided more closely

[viscid oyster]

comfort mode != dumb relay turning on and off the whole heater

[blazing wren]

We get that

It's a SELECT

hence, using the right service...

[polar kelp]

Exactly. And that's why it's probably a bad idea to use that in tandem with Generic Thermostat.

[blazing wren]

You can't drive to a ice cream parlour and ask them to fill up your car with gas

[viscid oyster]

i see but does it still make sense if i only need one mode ?

and set up the temperature with the card

actually that's all i want to do: setting up the temperature myself and not having modes if that make sense

[blazing wren]

You can't just go into the middle of town and wait for someone to bring you ice cream.
Without the proper entity ID and the correct service calls, this is exactly what you're trying to do

[polar kelp]

It will ignore the temperature. The Generic Thermostat will turn on the Comfort mode based on one set of rules, and then the outlet will controll the heater based on an entirely different set of rules - but only while the Generic Thermostat allows it.

[polar kelp]

Then I think you will have to do it in another way. E.g. by controlling the actual output of the outlet.

[viscid oyster]

turn on/off the outlet you mean

[polar kelp]

That would make the most sense to me.

[viscid oyster]

i would love to, but heaters having pilot wire needs to be turned on and off using the pilot wire only that's the problem

i could go the dumb way but i read in multiple place across the internet on trustable website that this would damage the hardware control

[blazing wren]

Then you need to go to #hardware-archived and find something that actually works with your setup

[viscid oyster]

id i didn't had hardware control with idiot internal thermostat on the heater itself then it would be possible to control the outlet in a binary mode

pilot wire in french specific don't ask me why we're doing things diffrently

[polar kelp]

Say it's like this: You want the temperature to be 23 °C, so that's what you turn your theromstat in Home Assistant to. That means when the temperature drops to 22 °C it will turn on Comfort mode.
But what if the outlets Comfort mode is set to 21 °C? Then NOTHING will happen. It will keep the heater off.

[viscid oyster]

basically i will always put the comfort to 25

that's what i planned

so i will have an hardware limit of 25 degree no matter what

[polar kelp]

Then things might work if you start using entity ids instead of entity names.

[viscid oyster]

it's dumb i know, but this pilot wire is making things weird

[polar kelp]

An entity id is <type>.<name> always with a .. And in yaml you pretty much ALWAYS want ids

[blazing wren]

Let's play spot the difference:
bathroom
light.bathroom

Which one of those is the entity id?

[viscid oyster]

entity id number 2 !

[blazing wren]

Bingo.

[polar kelp]

You're getting really close now at least. We should be able to get this.

[blazing wren]

Your value template needs to use something like entity id 2

It is using the first type right now.

Which is wrong, and not an ID at all

[polar kelp]

And you need to call the right service.

Also, I just assumed the entity ids in my examples. You should double check those.

You can find them in Settings->Devices->MQTT and then find you outlet entity device

[dawn acorn]

dev tools is your friend, use all of the tabs 🙂

[polar kelp]

That too.

[blazing wren]

Dev tools will hide the domain part of the entity ID from you when you click on one

[dawn acorn]

before you blast that template into yaml, test it out in dev tools

[blazing wren]

I prefer going via the integrations page(s) myself

[polar kelp]

The right service depends on the <type> part of the entity, by the way. Zigbee2mqtt is pretty up to date so it should be select.select_option, but that's not a given.

[blazing wren]

Unless somehow you're running the old #add-ons-archived Z2M which stopped being updated a very long time ago 🤪

[viscid oyster]

i am there

running the new one on zigbee dongle E everything new !

[blazing wren]

E with Z2M? Interesting choice

[viscid oyster]

well, it works (for now)

[polar kelp]

I never even heard of that one?

[viscid oyster]

seems stable enough for me yet

[blazing wren]

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/#experimental

It's only got experimental support so far

[viscid oyster]

based on the same chip as the ha dongle

[polar kelp]

Oh. Sonoff?

[blazing wren]

Yup.

At least it's not Conbee 🤪

[polar kelp]

I've seen a few users of that. Should work pretty well, I think.

[viscid oyster]

yup

[polar kelp]

I also think conbee II is decent with Z2M. Conbee I is not in my personal experience.

Aaaaanyway

Did you find your outlet device there?

[viscid oyster]

i had random disconnect but i think it's fixed after a full new pairing

[dark dirge]

I found a smart plug that crashed Z2M on joining with the EZSP-based SkyConnect, but other than that it was fine

Same plug works with the Sonoff-P variant

[polar kelp]

... Settings->Devices->MQTT in Home Assistant...

[polar kelp]

Yes. Click the icon with the three dots and lines to the left of the select box.

Then the Settings tab

There you'll have the actual entity_id you neeed.

[viscid oyster]

"select.bedroom_heater_cable_outlet_mode"

[polar kelp]

🎉

That's what you need in your template switch declaration. Both in the target: and the value_template:
