different percentages for the margin?

tacit cave
#

No Im saying you need to play around

shut robin
#

the margins, the height and the width?

#

ok, can do

tacit cave
#

if 80% is making the button large and outside the grid size, try a percent that works well

#

then make your margins the opposite %

shut robin
tacit cave
#

the percentages should equal 100%, but sometimes the percent is based on the parent card, not the card you're in

#

There's no magic bullet, you have to play around

#

Personally, I wouldn't use button cards in a button card

#

I'd use custom:layout-card

#

with button cards

shut robin
#

the issue though is if i width set to anything, i have to use the px in the margin, not the percentage

#

i've been using button-card within button-card so far and it's been good, but maybe this is one i might have to change things up a bit

Is there a way to make one card conditionally visible based on the number of entities that meet the conditionals in an auto-entities card? That is, I want there to be a bubble card separator separating an auto-entities card, but that auto-entities card is set up to only be visible if one of its conditionals resolves, and I'd like the separator (bubble card) to also be hidden if there are no conditionals resolving to true. Does that make sense?

dark dirge
#

you can probably write a template that counts the number of entities that auto-entities would include and use it as a template condition for a conditional card

Thanks, I'll try that

Since updating to 2024.5.0b0 is appears the 'app-header-background-color' variable in my themes is being ignored and the top bar on Android is now using the 'primary-color' variable, anyone know what the change was or if there is a new variable name that has to be used for this?

vast crane
#

If you want to discuss further take it to #beta

gusty vine
#

Thanks @vast crane I'll check that

vast crane
#

looks like --app-theme-color is the new var to use instead of --app-header-background-color

Yep, thanks again.

hey guys, i want a bit of feedback on my tv remote card i'm making - the idea is that i'll have one card that'll be in a bubble pop up that i can use to control my tv, but i'm not a designer or anything and struggle to make things look good, so i'm a little stuck on the finer details

here's two options that i've got so far - the bottom parts are both identical but the top parts are a little different - the first one is more compact compared to the second version

it's also a bit interactive - the power button is red if the tv is on vs black if it's off, the play/pause button shows either the play or pause icon depending on the status of the media, and when nothing is playing it's missing (it'll be under the right arrow and next to the down arrow), and finally the mute button icon changes depending if the tv is muted or not

eventually i'm also going to add a conditional "what's playing?" section that only shows up when something is playing, along with a progress bar, but i'm struggling with the progress bar so haven't added that in yet

if anyone has any suggestions or anything on what else i could do to make it better, or suggestions or ideas i'd love to hear it

hey, i noticed that in the default dashboard my integrations/cards got updated and i'd like to just update mine as well. is there an easy way, like just some clicks instead of removing and re-adding all those things by chance? :/

tacit cave
# shut robin hey guys, i want a bit of feedback on my tv remote card i'm making - the idea is...

I've been using my previously linked remote for years. The goal of my remote was to have all of the main controls fit within 1 cellphone scroll window, while also having grab areas to refresh the page by pulling down. With that being said. I settled on my previous image to you.

The main features are a 3 rows of activity buttons with On/off controls for my reciever and TV. The activity buttons are all-in-one buttons that will turn on the tv, the reciever, and the activity (Like netflix or plex).

Below that are tailored controls for each activity. A top row of activity specific buttons. A left sidebar for volume controls on the reciver. And bottom buttons for play, ff, rewind, and pause.

In the middle is a 4 way directional control, with a 'go back' button in the upper left corner of that grid. The upper right, lower left, and lower right are emtpy spaces for grabbing the page.

#

It took me about 5 years to get to this layout and it works great. Any additional controls like Source or Surround Mode are access through a button that take me to a scrollable 'more info' style remote page that gives more granularity of control.

#

With all that being said, I think your both of your images have activity buttons that are too large. Your first button, the controls are too small. The second, the controls are just right.

So, I'd make the activities smaller because you're pressing them less, while making your controls larger because that's where the bulk of your finger movement will be.

shut robin
# tacit cave With all that being said, I think your both of your images have activity buttons...

Interesting point - so at the moment I'm in the middle of rebuilding my dashboard from scratch because I had issues with the old version, but I'm the old version I actually had 6 activities there in a 3x2 grid, but with this new remote button since we don't have Netflix any more because of the password sharing stuff I changed it to a 2x2 but kept the aspect ratio the same without thinking of the consequences - I'll play around with different things but maybe I'll go for a 1x4 thing instead and see how that goes?

Put of curiosity, I think I remember that one you linked but would you mind linking it again or linking to the message again? With everything going on I don't know where the link for your remote card is to see it

tacit cave

#

This is a 1x4 - ignoring the fact that the volume has somehow disappeared, does that feel better with sizing?

is it possible to switch the entitiy by tapping on it on the dashboard? i'm using a tapo c200 as a dog-cam but unfortunately sometimes the hd stream isn't available, sometimes the sd stream isn't available so i have to change the entity by hand everytime i need the camera

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a way to launch the "Disarm" keypad from an alarm entity when tapping on a button? I want to be able to disarm my alarm without having to go through the more-info popup (which is buggy if you enter the wrong code)

Screenshot_2024-04-26_at_15.59.18.png
weak nova
#

Create a button which, when tapped, invokes a script that calls the "Disarm" service

#

something along those lines

vast crane
#

(which is buggy if you enter the wrong code)
Is there a reported issue about this?

hushed hull
hushed hull
#

But it would be nice to not have to go through the more-info popup to disarm the alarm if its armed anyway, just tapping and entering the code is a nicer experience and quicker.

vast crane
#

Does the Alarm Control Panel card not have what you want?

#

I don't think there's a way to go straight to that popup.

vast crane
hushed hull
#

The alarm control panel card does more than I really want on the UI, I'm trying to keep it simple and just show a single button if the alarm is armed with a popup to disarm it. Dont really want the whole keypad always visible

vast crane
#

got it. If I wanted to achieve that I would either make a button take me to a subview with the alarm panel card, or have a button that unhides an alarm control panel card right below the button.
I think there's some custom cards that allow you to launch a popup as well with cards in it.

hushed hull
#

Ah okay. I was hoping I could just use the popup as thats formatted nicely, the other card styles leave a bit to be desired but maybe I could theme them

#

Thats my "more-info" screen after entering the wrong code after clicking disarm with the default HA theme

Screenshot_2024-04-26_at_16.29.37.png
vast crane
#

Do you get the failed toast?

image.png
hushed hull
#

no nothing, it just closes the popup

vast crane
#

I think frontend might be expecting the service call to raise an error with an invalid code. Your integration might be just silently ignoring.

#

could be worth reporting an issue for that maybe

hushed hull
#

Its the Alarmo integration

#

I guess the bug would be with that if thats the case, not HA itself if yours is working correctly

vast crane
#

it's a bit of a grey area

#

the frontend seems to be assuming one kind of behavior, and maybe not all alarm integrations are behaving the same way

#

the demo alarm_control_panel raises that service call failure, which triggers the more-info to reset to the correct state

#

but if Alarmo also raised an execption in the same way that would improve their UI experience

hushed hull
#

I'll raise it on there when I get a few minutes as it would be nice to have it fixed.

#

I wonder what the chances are of getting a feature request in HA to give access to these other new popup elements in the UI like the keypad popup...

vast crane
#

I would consider maybe an option to alarm panel card to hide the keypad and use the popup.

#

would that be what you're looking for?

hushed hull
#

I was trying to keep it even more light weight than that tbh for a mobile UI. Single button for the alarm state which opens a popup to set the alarm mode. And then if the alarm is armed tapping the same button pops up a keypad to disarm it. I was also playing around with the tile card which almost does what I want but I was trying to keep it minimal...

Screenshot_2024-04-26_at_16.43.41.png Screenshot_2024-04-26_at_16.43.53.png
#

Those are the 3 different options I'm playing around with. I know, I know, being picky 😂

#

The pill button would open the more-info page to select a state, or open the keypad if its already armed.
The Tile card I've managed to hack around with some card-mod CSS but takes up more room, the CSS also makes the page a bit jumpy but could live with it
Then theres the full alarm card which needs a UI update

vast crane
#

The pill button
That's a custom thing right?

I've created a custom:popup-card that works well for displaying the input_select and input_datetime i want to prompt the user to set at the time the underlying card is actioned. The problem I'm running into now is that input_datetime uses another popup for a calendar selector on the date and that calendar doesn't show up when the calendar icon is selected from the popup. I have a workaround where the icon to the left of the date (the one for the input_datetime itself) does bring up the full editor for date and time, but that makes my custom popup go away. Any good way to keep the normal behavior of the datetime control's calendar selector ?

hey guys, i want to get a bit of feedback from here about an energy card i'm creating based on an retro style bar and i'm a little stuck on it and trying to figure out the details

the idea is that you have something like the first screenshot which is in green to show that my solar panels are generating power, and the bars on the right go from orange to green with the more power being generated (see screenshot 2), but if my solar panels aren't producing power, then the card is red and goes from the top down, and once again the more power being used the more red the bars get

the thing that i'm not sure about is that this is currently based on whether my solar panels are producing power or not - so if the solar panel production > 0 then it's the green card, otherwise it's red, which is mostly fine, but the issue is i'm generating 200W of power towards the end of the day but the house is using 3kW, it'll look green even though the house is using more power from the grid by a long shot, which i think feels kind of weird?

that said, i'm going to have a single energy card on my dashboard and when you press it it'll open a popup with more info, like house usage, grid usage and solar production

is it worth making any changes to this or does this make sense? i'm not entirely sure if there's a better way to present this or if i'm just thinking too much into it all?

Is there a container card that "floats" cards rather than having them act as block elements? Basically looking for something similar to how the mushroom chip cards work.

#

I was thinking the layout card could do this, but I've never had great luck with using that and I don't even quite understand from the docs how it's supposed to be a "card". Seems more like it's meant to control a view's layout

#

Is there a container card that "floats" cards rather than having them act as block elements?
@timid beacon I'm assuming you're looking for a little bit better placement control when you say "float" cards. Depending on the card you're wanting to use, you might be able to use some card_mod and put the card exactly where you want it. This example puts a Markdown card showing the time on top of the header on the right side. (Just don't cover the Done button...)

# 
type: markdown
content: '{{ now().strftime("%m/%d/%y, %H:%M") }}'
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      background: transparent; color: white
    }
    :host {
      position: fixed; top: 0px; right: 8%; z-index: 99; font-size:25px;
    }```
image.png
#

Another option could be to use custom:button-card as a container. Add the cards as custom_fields which could give you better flexibility of placement within the custom:button-card. This idea was proposed by @velvet sky #frontend-archived message

If you're still in the planning/experimenting phase, FKB has the following options that might be useful for when you do get the tablet: Auto Reload on Idle, ...after Page Error, ...on Screen On, ...on Screensaver Stop, ...on Network Connect, and ...on Internet Reconnect.
You might spend more time and effort trying to get similar options with browser_mod just to be able to turn around and let FKB do the job itself.
(Note: None of these options (Settings > Web Auto Reload) are Pro options so even the Free version will let you accomplish this. Fully Kiosk Browser will let you test Pro options without a license but it puts a watermark on the screen. Useful in deciding if you want to purchase a license which, honestly, the Free version does a really good job.)

So I just updated from 2024.3 to 2024.4 and there is a HUGE difference in my dashboard now. For one, all of my additional dashbaords are gone and everything has been pulled into the Home dashboard. All of my entities have been regrouped and the Edit button at the top only lets me re-arrange and hide the areas. How do I add/remove entities from the cards now?

vast crane

#

Settings/dashboards only has 4 dashboards: Overview, Energy, Map, and Mobile. I had additional dashboards for everyone's phones, for all my Alexa devices and a "lab" where I just threw a bunch of stuff for testing purposes. Now all of that stuff is in the Overview dashboard.

#

Hmmm, ok well I can at least edit the entities. I created a new dashboard and set it to "Default" then selected "Take Control". So I can now edit the entities. But now I have to go around to all of my devices and change the default dashboard to the new one...

#

How do I shorten last-changed state so it shows as 2hr instead of 2 hours ago?

#

#

Can it be achieved per card?

tacit cave
#

Yes, but it depends on the information you're exposing and it will require a template

#

meaning, you're limited to cards that allow templates

Oh okay, at the moment I'm using Tile card with this code, but just want to truncate last-changed as much as possible so it fits into the card more cleanly:

hide_state: false
state_content:
  - state
  - last-changed```

If you're using the default Masonry view, HA is going to set the columns. I use the Panel (1 card) setting in conjunction with a grid card, for example. Then I use the appropriate layout-type cards to get the desired layout.

Greetings, I am trying to create a full screen dashboard with 'ha-floorplan' but, but when I edit the dashboard list (remove dashboards I don't want to be seen by this user), the list isn't conserved if the user logs out an then logs back in again. Is this a bug?

tacit cave
#

what dashboard list?

#

are you referring to visibility tab for the view?

#

Did you mark the dashboard itself as admin only?

pastel grove
#

@petro I might be doing some this wrong, but I can remove dashboards from the list in the left side bar.. (hold click on the left title, or select 'edit' in the User setiting)... they can be added back with a '+' option.. but if I log out and log back in again these changes are lost.

tacit cave
#

yeah, that's normal

#

if you don't want a dashboard shown for a user, you hide it

#

through the visibility tab (if dealing with a view) or through the Admin only toggle on the dashboard

#

Outside that, there are no ways to have dashboards for specific users.

As it's a custom integration from what I see, and there's a million of them, I guess the best course is to keep googling it? Look in your logs ( Settings -> System -> Logs ) to see what the issue is and solve each new one as it appears. There should be plenty of other people on the web with that specific integration + problem so you won't have to search too much.

Hi guys, does anyone have experience with the HACS module "Favicon-changer" from Thomas Lovenn?

I just cant get it to work, ive followed the instructions, created favicons of all sizes needed and put them in the advised folder

tacit cave
#

That doesn't look like windows or mac

#

what OS is it?

shell torrent
#

It's just "install as app" on Chrome or Edge.
It basically "installs" the website so it acts like an app, no favorites, always opens in a separate window.

#

what os

shell torrent
#

Windows

#

Maybe others, don't know.

tacit cave
#

the top bar for windows is based on your windows theme

vast crane

#

Yes, but obviously the website can affect it. Mine is dark, but from updating HA to 2024.5, it is suddenly blue. And only the HA "app", no other sites.

shell torrent
tacit cave
#

You're talking about this right?

shell torrent
#

Yes

tacit cave
#

that should match your windows theme always

#

if it's not, that's an issue

shell torrent
#

Well, it used to. But not since this morning when I upgraded 🙂

tacit cave
#

write it up then

shell torrent
#

Ok

#

Nice we agreed on it being an issue 👍

tacit cave
#

TBH, that requires alot of effort to change the color. Unless this "make it an app" thing does something special

#

is that windows 11 btw?

shell torrent
tacit cave
#

I find it odd that the maximize button doesn't have a stacked set of boxes

vast crane
tacit cave
#

that's win10

#

Typically, it takes a mountain to change that bar color too

#

kinda comical that it happened by mistake

#

I'm guessing it's something to do with that whole "make this an app" thingy

#

anyways, reference the PR that karwosts mentioned in your issue

Does anyone have any tips on how to change color of a binary status, such as my microphone being on or off, and changing from red to green etc with card-mod?

sour garden
#

is it just me or, is there no way to set height of cards in a vertical-layout card ?

tacit cave
#

height and witdh of cards is set by the container you put it in and it's calculated

#

if you want to override it, you have to use card-mod

@tacit cave ive tryed that but it aint changing

you won't have that problem

it doesn't apply to a normal browser

i'm trying to find card-mod examples with binary off/on color changes.

I'm trying to also understand if this is the best approach or I should try and use conditional cards?

@dark hinge 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.

yeah, I was trying to understand from the most basic of things.

it actually helped me install HA, then get everything set up. I just installed unraid last month, and was going to go a way different route for this - and it suggested this, so im basically day 1 into all of this.

#

so, i wouldn't even know about this without it, so lol - I can see it has faults though 🙂

I greatly appreciate your help on this.

#

this is a really neat system and I had heard of HA before - but never delved into it, so I gotta really figure out what I want to do.

sour garden
#

okay so now ive tryed to play a little with the card-mod but i cant see to find the right solution, i would like to have the markdown cards the same height as the light cards

Skrmbillede_fra_2024-05-02_16-17-15.png
tacit cave
#

card heights are dynamic and are based on what you're viewing the dashboard in.

sour garden
#

so you cant get them to align so they all have the same height ?

tacit cave
#

THere's no way to query the height of a seprate card and apply it to another card. It might be doable from card-mod, but it would likely be something you set on ALL cards instead of a card reacting to the height of another.

sour garden
#

okay so i should find a way to set the height of all cards, instead og the heights on cards individual

tacit cave
#

you can also just use grid or some other view

sour garden
#

so it would be easier to do it with the grid view ?

tacit cave
#

grid fiew makes everything fit in the grid

#

as a sidebar, you're going to be struggling with this forever. Static heights aren't really a thing in HA's frontend

sour garden
#

i found a solution, using min-height looks like it fits now

#

fits better than before

hey guys, i try to get the new tile card feature (lock-open-door) working with my template lock entity.

Does anybody have a hint for me what to add to the template to get this to work? I cant find anything right now on the homeassistant website..

Thanks for some help / hints 😉

you just put the lock on the tile card

#

there's not much to it

vast crane
#

I don't think template locks support open based on the documentation.

#

So I would say you can't. And that's not really anything to do with tile card, but just a limitation of the template lock entity, it doesn't support that service.

I run Firefox in its Kiosk Mode on a 24" touchscreen. It works pretty well.
It's also possible to set up a AutoHotKey configuration to hide the top bar of a window.

I've also used it on my cable TV provider's streaming site set as a web app so it shows just the video.

I installed Apex Chart Graph from HACS and inserted the entity of my device. Since it couldn't fetch the values, I created a virtual entity with the corresponding 'clean' data, and now it shows the graph. However, the real-time value in the top left corner doesn't have a unit of measurement, and I don't know how to add it.

pearl roost
#

Is there a way to have entities discovered with MQTT automatically show up on a map?

tacit cave
#

they need to have lat/lon and it needs to be a device_tracker

vast crane
#

any entity with latitude and longitude can be on a map (not only device_trackers)

tacit cave
#

on the default map, I don't use that map anymore

#

Well, I never used that map

#

but i'm 99% sure that device_trackers automatically appeared on that map

vast crane
#

yeah looks automatic

#

mine's got a bunch of sensor on it

tacit cave
#

good to know

#

nice

pearl roost
#

I assume its only automatic for the default map as new map cards need the entities specified?

tacit cave
#

new map cards?

#

map cards aren't new

#

they've always required a defined list of entities

pearl roost
#

No I mean when I create a map card, its not possible to have entities automatically be added to it correct?

#

So for that use case I would had to use the default map

vast crane
tacit cave
#

you can use auto-entities with map card to have automated things happen

#

that's about it

pearl roost
#

Would a custom integration be able to add entities to a map card?

I just said auto-entities card can do it

You can do the same thing with just core conditional cards, just a little more verbose to implement maybe.

bitter anvil
#

Oh?
I am fine with as much code as it has to be...

Button 1, Button 2, Button 3
Button 1: changes camera to Cam 1
Button 2: changes camera to Cam 2
Button 3: changes camera to cam 3

Would the button be a single button that changes the state of a helper to 1 of 3 different states and then the conditional is 'show is if Button is in 1 of the 3 states?'

vast crane

yeah I would do something like that

#

5 buttons and 5 conditional cards for 5 cameras

Hi guys, i’m new in HA. I have I question, i can’t find an answer: how can i delete a device and all its entities that is no more working/responding, which is added via the HomeKit device integration? I can’t find options to delete it from the companion app. I need to delete it because this device is de-associating for some reason and i have to re-add it everytime, but when i re-add it i end up with a the same device which is seen as a different device and entities from the old one which is no more responding…. So i want to delete the old one.

Or, there is a way to tell HA to point the old device/entity to the new added one, so that all the automations/alexa/siri exposed devices continues to work ?

You'll have to go into the RAW configuration for the dashboard. (Click the Edit button in top right > click the 3 dots in the top right > Raw Configuration Editor). Find the view that you want to add the background. ```yaml

    background: center / cover no-repeat url("/local/front.jpg") fixed
    path: layout
    type: panel
    badges: []

I think the background is in the wrong spot. Looks like you added it in the Dashboard section (root or whatever it is called in YAML); it needs to go into the views section. Cut the background line and paste it below title: TEST ensuring it is lined up with the rest of the lines (indented).

tribal galleon
# sour garden so i should save it somewhere online instead

The short-term fix that might work. That just confirmed that your background is working but perhaps the issue lies with the mapping of the /www/ folder. Maybe it isn't mapped in your installation. I'm not too familiar with all that; it's always just seemed to work with /local/.

sour garden

@tribal galleon ah okay, i just looked at the resources and tryed to point it there but no luck either so i will just have to host it my self so i know i have it 🙂

tribal galleon
#

@sour garden Did you have to create the 'www' folder? If so, did you restart?

#

Also seeing references to the /www/ folder being saved in just the /homeassistant/ folder.

For future readers, in common parlance, “/config” or [config] refers to your homeassistant configuration folder, usually ~/.homeassistant or /homeassistant or wherever your configuration yaml files live. The folder “config” is not an actual folder.

Place the “www” folder in your homeassistant configuration folder directly.

damn, i was hoping that if it takes html i could use inline css but it looks like that gets stripped

#

oh, that works, thanks

#

is there any documentation for what can be put in the font tag?

dark dirge
#

it's just html

#

I searched for "html change font size"

sudden lotus
#

ah, looks like it is a HTML 4 thing. i was not doing much with HTML when that got replaced so i never came across it

#

thanks

#

kind of annoying it strips the inline css that html 5 calls for using instead of the font tag

#

Are you using the sections view?

upbeat hinge
#

Its a Sections-Page (experimental)

#

yes 😄

azure canopy
#

put the cards in a horizontal stack

#

that will force it to use 2 columns

upbeat hinge
#

how?

azure canopy
#

select a horizontal stack card, then in the horizontal stack put the card you are currently using

upbeat hinge
#

ahhh cool

#

but i have to redo all of them 😦

was hoping for a hidden option or so

Hi everyone 👋 The sections view has not been updated since its launch in 2024.3. So I understand that it’s still experimental but it’s nice and I started to migrate my dashboard 😃 Should I stop or continue?

#

In development tools I have a service with a slider bar to set a value for an entity. That works fine. I'd like to have this in the Lovelace Dashboard. How is that possible?

#

Quick question: I've done quite a bit of research on this but come up with nothing. Humidifier card. Can I change the steps from 1s to 5s? Card doesn't mention it but is there something crafty that can be done to make it go in 5s?

vast crane
#

step size looks pretty fixed to 1. for climate entities it can be adjusted, but doesn't look like there is such a feature for humidity

quartz arch
#

Bugger. Thanks for confirming that. I was afraid it would be that way but was worth an ask! 🙂

tacit cave
clever plover
#

Short answer but can I find any example online. No idea how to start or how to achieve

vague blaze
#

Create an input_number helper and an automation to trigger off it changing and then call your service from the automation.

clever plover
#

Thanks @vague blaze but it's Chinese for me. I'm not a programmer, apologies

#

No problem to make a helper (input_number) but no idea how to make the automation

tacit cave
#

well, you haven'tt tried anything, so how do you know you can't do it?

#

try first 😉

clever plover
#

I'll start with an empty automation from scratch, I guess...

tacit cave
#

exactly

clever plover
#

My trigger is an entity?

#

The helper is already created

#

Entity -> Numeric State

tacit cave
#

well, what did you just create?

clever plover
#

So selected above. And than no fixed number but 'Numeric value of anther entity' and there I selected 'input_number.my_helper'

#

So far so good

vast crane
#

If you just want something to happen when it changes, you probably just want state and not numeric_state

clever plover
#

It's clear it's not that easy

#

First thing is to add a trigger. Cannot select an input_number

tacit cave
#

what's not easy about it?

clever plover
#

I will Google guys, no worries. Bye

#

I thought the intention of this chat is to help someone

tacit cave
#

Yes but this is literallyt one of the easiest automations and it's all ui

#

im not giong to write the whole thing for you otherwise you wont learn

#

you need a state trigger

clever plover
#

It's not. I'm not stupid but there are many options !!!

tacit cave
#

use the search

#

literlaly type state

clever plover
#

Doesn't work

tacit cave
#

yes it does

#

i just did it

clever plover
#

I was searching for input_number.blablabla. You see

#

For you guys it's easy peasy but please understand that it's not easy for everybody!

👋 I' Felix, new here and wonder where to get full documentation for the yaml configurations for the dashboard.
I am asking because the documentation here: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/picture/#image is misleading. It states image string REQUIRED, but it is clearly not, as I can provide image_entity which works. Even wonder why that attribute is not mentioned in the documentation.
Is there a complete one elsewhere? Hope I am correct in this channel 🙂

tacit cave
#

you had 2 people tell you "state" and you decided to search for your input_number

You have a point, was on the wrong path

#

Apologies but now at least I feel you want to help me

#

And how can I link now my input_number to the service I call?

#

  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_number.charge_current
condition: []
action:
  - service: easee.set_charger_max_limit
    metadata: {}
    data:
      current: 16
      device_id: 276dadb4c47eea642a878ea0a71bea42
mode: single```
tacit cave
#

is it current?

#

current: 16?

clever plover
#

The current is fix (16) and should follow my input_number, based on a slider in LoveLace

tacit cave
#

change to

      current: "{{ trigger.to_state.state }}"
#

then put your input number on your dashboard

clever plover
#

That works, thank you very much !!!

^ re-posting intro text and leaving code in document:
Hi! I'm finding that I'm re-using the same pattern over and over again. Is it possible to set up a variable in a card so that HA only has to perform the state check once, and then re-use that value? I've been looking to see if I could do something like {% set sensorState = is_state('binary_sensor.basement_door_contact_sensor', 'off') %} but am not sure where to put it so that all options could see the value.

tacit cave
#

that reused code is redundant

#

are you just doing that for the icon color?

#

switch to cardmod instead, and you won't have to use custom:mushroom-template-card

#

you can use the normal cards and just alter the icon color

gaunt eagle
#

I'm using card mod for my mobile dashboard. It looks fine on my Android phone but the card mods stylings does not appear on my partner's iOS device. Any idea why?

tacit cave
#

you're probably styling the wrong field

#

iOS, macos, windows, chrome, etc all tread css differently and you have to use what works best for all

sleek nimbus
sleek nimbus
tacit cave
#

so the icon, and the state translation will be handled by the card, not by you

#

and if you use card-mod, you card-mod the icon color only.

#

and at that point, you can use it as a yaml anchor

#

assuming you're using yaml

#

if you aren't, you can make a custom macro

sleek nimbus
tacit cave
#

you'd switch to the non-template card

#

binary_sensors by default use the icons and state translations you listed in your templates. Just make the device class door, selectable from the UI. Then use card mod to change the color of the icon.

sleek nimbus
#

And cardmod will change it based on state?

tacit cave
#

you have to write the template

#

using card mod

# 
type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
entity: binary_sensor.main_door
card_mod:
  style:
    mushroom-shape-icon$: |
      .shape {
        background-color: {{ 'green' if is_state('binary_sensor.main_door', 'off') else 'red' }} !important;
      }
#

does the same thing

#

as yours

#

1 template

#

not only that, but you could theme this behavior out with 0 templates

#

but you'd have to learn theming

sleek nimbus
#

Thanks @tacit cave! I'll give it a try. But in regards to the original question about variables, is that possible? Just in case I find other uses or situations where I would like to minimize redundant calls.

#

I know how to do it for scripts, I just don't know if I can do the same inside a card object

tacit cave
#

it is but you'd have to make a custom macro

sleek nimbus
#

Do macro's save state? I thought they were just blind functions

tacit cave
#

you can import them with context

went nuts, still no result.

final cypress
#

not sure about the conditions though, perhaps they need to be satisfied before the name would show...

barren hazel
#

they're satisfied.

#

schedule.tuesday is true

#

and the boolean is enabled.

#

which is what makes the button show up in the first place

final cypress
#

what's the error?

barren hazel
#

no error.

#

just no name/label

#

I'd love to make this just like an entities card

stuck spire
#

just curious, are you saving the card and checking it on the actual dashboard?

#

or just using the preview?

barren hazel
#

but i need each entity to have its own condition

#

preview

stuck spire
#

try saving it for kicks-- I was having issues today with the preview not refreshing consistently

barren hazel
#

same, sadly

final cypress
#

pastebin your card

barren hazel
#

ok

#

teeth, help, bathroom, and homework are the buttons that are showing up due to the conditions

#

for ava

#

i lied to you, there is an error.

#

just didn't show up till i saved and came back

final cypress
#

seems 'name' is not usable on a conditional card...

barren hazel
#

Thats kinda silly.

#

any ideas for a workaround?

final cypress
#

Is there a name on the input boolean?

barren hazel
#

yes.

final cypress
#

what are you trying to do?

barren hazel
#

well, there's a friendly name.

#

is that different than a name?

#

My kids have chores i made a static chore list but due to scheduling conflicts with school i had to re-arrange them awhile back

#

moving them around proves difficult so i made it configurable

golden mirage
#

share code

barren hazel
#

i enable a boolean for a certain day and this is supposed to check that against the schedule.day

#

The pastebin is most of it.

#

I can share the booleans

#

There are the entities.

#

in chores.yaml

#

and input_boolean: !include chores.yaml

#

is in my config.yaml

#

to answer your question, I'm just trying to get a label next to the configurable buttons.

final cypress
#

So you're aiming for something like this?

2024-05-07_21_57_48-Andrew_Overview_Dashboard_Home_Assistant_-_Vivaldi.png
barren hazel
#

or an entities list WITH labels that populates entities based on 2 criteria, another input_boolean, and the day of the week.

#

yeah, kinda like that, does that meet criteria?

#

This is my config dashboard

#

that determines what chores show on what day

final cypress
#

it's just an entities card, the toggle would change the value to on... I assume you have some automation to toggle the chores that get activated when the boolean is switched 'on'

barren hazel
#

no, the conditional entity card does that

final cypress
#

input boolean 'on' , and it's sunday, then ava brush teeth, tidy room, etc

barren hazel
#

Ok, so clean the bathroom is checked, on tuesday

#

i'm gonna uncheck this

#

okay, unchecked

#

now she no longer has to do bathroom, on tuesdays

#

She can still do teeth, or help out, but not bathroom.

final cypress
#

why not put that in a grid card with 2 rows and make a seperate card with names?

barren hazel
#

I suppose I could, would just need to map it dynamically, the same way i did the buttons

#

or the whole conversion to configurable was a bust

golden mirage
final cypress
#

are the names just visual queues for who needs to do the chores or do the names serve a functional purpose?

barren hazel
#

It's so the kid knows what the icon is for

#

It's tiny and they may not remember

final cypress
#

ok, the icon is for the chore name, not the kid, got it. hmmm

barren hazel
#

hope someone has some idea of how to do this.

golden mirage
# barren hazel

change to
row:
type: buttons
entities:
- entity: input_boolean.sunday_trash_ava_chore
name: test

Hi,
I am looking for a logbook card - but not an automated one that filters entity states.

Im controlling multiple terrariums and id like to have the possibility to add information about feedings, shedding, etc.

I imagine something like a card with a text input field, and when a user submits something, the input gets added to a list.

Is there something like that? Google always points me to the shopping list, or the logbook card...

static ivy
#

"Is it still possible to integrate 'Custom Header' in Home Assistant?"

tacit cave
#

Yes, but that doesn't mean it will work

#

that code base was abandoned 4ish years ago

tacit cave
mint frost
tacit cave
#

You have to build that with automations or template entities

#

there's integrations that do this stuff too. But I have no idea what your source is for the information and that will heavily direct what path you take.

mint frost
#

Im really just want to be able to add notes, like submitting "fed 5 crickets" and this goes into a list card with datetime attached.

The source is me, the data is text. No state, no entity.

image.png
#

i could mockup something if it helps?!

#

Basically like the shopping list card, but without the checkboxes that remove entries, and a datetime string instead...

tacit cave
#

Just use an input text then with a logbook card

#

automation that populates the input text, then show a logbook card on the dashboard, which will show the state changes for the input_text and when it changed.

mint frost
#

Thats seems possible, although i cant locate the "input text"

#

it's a helper

I tried getting it to work well, but it turns out I'm not great with css. I was able to get it looking the way yours does, but unable to get the faded green and dark green combo look. Macro and template may be the approach I go since I understand the software development side better than the css side of things. Importing the macro doesn't seem to be working though in the card. Is there somewhere specific I need to enter the import?

image.png
# 
 - type: custom:mushroom-template-card
    primary: Basement Door
    secondary: How are you?
    icon: mdi:door-closed
    icon_color: |-
    {% from ''color.jinja'' import greenOrRed %}
  greenOrRed('binary_sensor.basement_door_contact_sensor')```
fiery ledge
# 
state-binary_sensor-door-off-color: var(--primary-color)
state-binary_sensor-door-on-color: var(--alert-color)
sleek nimbus
#

This is the macro, located in /config/custom_templates/color.jinja

tacit cave
sleek nimbus
fiery ledge
#

it's the preferred method really. Set it system wide for those binaries. All cards (including good custom cards) will use that

tacit cave
#

Yep, no templates at all

#

just regular mushroom cards

fiery ledge
#

the trouble with those mushroom cards (and Tile card too btw) is they calculate the cards colors based on the state color, and if you start templating that, things get dirty. Hover the card, and it changes. The icon background circle, all have their own calculations.

sleek nimbus
# 
icon_color: >-
      {% from 'color.jinja' import greenOrRed %}    {{greenOrRed('binary_sensor.basement_door_contact_sensor') }}```
#

also produces no change

tacit cave
#

then your macro is wrong

sleek nimbus
#

I will def look into themeing. But this is also a helpful exercise for me to learn more about HA

tacit cave
#

post the macro

#

You most likely didn't remove whitespace

sleek nimbus
# 
{{ green if is_state(entity_id, 'off') else red }}
{% endmacro %}```
fiery ledge
#

{{'red' if is_state(config.entity,'on') else 'green' }} (this is not for the macro, this is the template you can use in the card directly)

tacit cave
#

you're missing quotes around green and red

fiery ledge
#

why the macro....

tacit cave
#

and you need to use - after each {%

#

to remove whitespace

sleek nimbus
# 
{{ 'green' if is_state(entity_id, 'off') else 'red' }}
{%- endmacro %}```
#

like that?

tacit cave
#

yep

sleek nimbus
#

I just followed the example in the HA blog

# 

Is the {{ state_attr(entity_id, 'friendly_name') }} on?
{{ (states(entity_id) == 'on') | iif('Yes', 'No') }}!

{% endmacro %}```
tacit cave
#

Yep, but that's outputting a phrase, which would want the whitespace

sleek nimbus
#

Does Jinja define when quotes are needed or is that HA? It seems a bit inconsistant from my inexperienced view.

tacit cave
#

Jinja defines when quotes are needed in jinja

#

yaml defines when quotes are needed in yaml, you need to learn both jinja and yaml to know when/how to manage your quoting

sleek nimbus
# 
   {% from 'color.jinja' import greenOrRed %} 
   {{greenOrRed('binary_sensor.basement_door_contact_sensor')}}```
# 
{%- macro greenOrRed(entity_id) %}

{{ 'green' if is_state(entity_id, 'off') else 'red' }}

{% endmacro %}
tacit cave
#

don't add whitespace to the macro

sleek nimbus
#

removed, reloading

tacit cave
#

add a dash in endmacro too

#

you don't want the macro returning whitespace

sleek nimbus
#

I added it already

tacit cave
sleek nimbus
#

The whitespace keeps getting added back in somehow when I reload the config.

tacit cave
#

what are you using to edit the custom macro file?

sleek nimbus
#

tacit cave
#

screenshot please?

sleek nimbus
#

It stuck this time

#

First reload looked like this after removing returns and saving:

#

Next time it saved one of the whitespace removals but not the other and looked like this:

tacit cave
#

you didn't give the color file a filetype

#

#

not color

sleek nimbus
#

Thanks. And I'll look into theming for a permanent solution. But I'm glad to have learned something about macros and imports.

#

What is the scope of an import on a card though? Is it per attribute? Or can I declare an import higher up and use a macro in multiple places without re-importing?

tacit cave
#

it's per attribute

sleek nimbus
#

thank you!

sleek nimbus
#

I believe I am following the instructions correctly. I have the themes directory imported, and I have defined a basic theme, and I have enabled the theme. I have confirmed the device class info. The color hasn't changed though. I know I must be missing something. Are custom cards exempt from themes?

Custom cards can do whatever they want. If they ignore or are not coded to understand the theme, then they won't change color.

did you test is it colored correctly in a standard card?

# fiery ledge you should check the huuuuge threads at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mu...

This is very helpful thank you. The links here have been very instructive. What I cannot tell though is if it’s possible to restrict the cardmod changes to particular device types like ‘door’ rather than ‘entities’ or ‘binary_sensor’ in general. I don’t see any examples of it in the thread, in the docs that I’ve read, or through other searches. I’m assuming I can’t, but figured it was worth an ask before abandoning the theme and going back to template.

Why doesn't this work?

#

I got most of it working, but sometimes the trash man comes a day late

#

So I want the chore to remain visible if it is EITHER (wednesday, and I have enabled the chore) OR (thursday and I have enabled the chore, and the chore is incomplete)

tribal galleon
#

What's the difference between these two entities: input_boolean.wednesday_curbb_ava_chore and input_boolean.wednesday_curbb_ava?

barren hazel
#

The former is the actual entity the kids mark, the latter is a toggle on a dash that determines if the entry is enabled or not and thus displayed on said day or not

#

For example

#

That sets up what chores show on sunday

#

This is the markoff dash the kids use

tribal galleon
#

Yeah. I was looking through you posts the other day and watching its development. Is everything handled with conditional statements?

barren hazel
#

Most everything

tribal galleon
#

Honestly, looking at your conditional statements (now that I better understand what you're trying to do), I would think that it should work. Only one of the AND conditions should return true. The OR should return a true if one is true. And then subsequently show the input_boolean.wednesday_curbb_ava_chore. So... I dunno... 🤷‍♂️

#

I'm assuming your schedule entities are working like they are intended. (I've never used them before.)

barren hazel
#

The error i screenshotted above appears to be a limitation or a bug

#

It seems to be requiring an entity rather than allowing nested conditions

#

Is there a place to put a bug report?

#

Or do you think this is intentional?

tribal galleon
#

I'm pretty sure it should work. There was a bug noted about nested conditions (in an automation) but that was back in 2016 and was fixed.

Why in your code have row: in type: conditional

Feels good to work side by side with a fellow jedi.

#

I don't think he has the conditional that was causing the issue shown in the pastebin.

vast crane
#

well that would be kind of important 😂

barren hazel
#

oh, no i dont

tribal galleon
#

I think it is an addition that he's trying to get working. To me, the nested conditional (shown in the code embed) should work. Unless neither of the two ANDs are returning true...

barren hazel
#

hold on, i'll edit it in.

#

lets try that

vast crane
#

works fine for me again

barren hazel
#

did you see the edit?

vast crane
#

yeah I think I got it

barren hazel
#

yeah, and it works?

vast crane
#

seems to not have any visual editor or compilation issues

#

oh hmm actually let me check that

#

ok nvm I do see an issue if I drill into card 2 of the grid

barren hazel
#

Yeah, you're right, there is a visual issue.

#

but it functions... I guess i didn't think to check if it functions.

#

I just pasted it in mine, and it shows up like it's supposed to, but with that error

vast crane
#

probably just a visual editor error

#

not sure why it says configuration issue, you can put a ticket on frontend github if you want

barren hazel
#

I'll do just that, if there's a bug i may as well report what we found.

#

starting to hate yaml though.

What is going on here ?

#

Happening when I try to tick that box

fiery ledge
#

And when trying to remove it this happens

D12E37AF-8948-4FC7-9E82-AB66AB7EE380.png
#

So even though it obviously does exit , the frontend seems to think it doesn’t …. Huh

vast crane
#

I believe that looks like a message from the backend, a failed response to the api call.

fiery ledge
#

but how can it be, that an obviously existing todo item can not even be ticked?

#

figuring this might be more than Frontend 😉

vast crane
#

Is that local_todo?

fiery ledge
#

tbh I am not exactly clear on the difference between local todo and todo list...

vast crane
#

I guess I thought you can have a list managed either by HA (local_todo), or by like a 3rd party integration, e.g. like google keep (though I don't know if is actually supported or not)
Both would create todo entities.

fiery ledge
#

right, no this is created by my own HA automation, triggered by a check for a calendar item

#

that would be local todo then 😉

Simple question: How do I delete a timer created as a helper via the UI, or do I need to edit the core.entity_registry?

I got the old code working only is the custom button super smal

I decided to scale back my HA dashbboard ambitions and go with something simple, so I based this design on HA-Fusion, but extended it with missing features. Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how I can acheive this layout. I'm assuming it starts with a custom layout card grid?

Is there a good way to prevent code duplication in my lovelace yaml?

#

For example: I have a conditional card, which shows one of two button cards, with particular behavior. Then I have several copies of this setup, with the only difference being on which two entries they work. What I would like is to define the structure once, and then be able to say for which pairs of entries it should be used

#

(for context: after a hardware failure, I'm redoing my entire install. I'm enjoying making my install much more maintainable using things like scripts and blueprints. I'm looking to do the same for my dashboards.)

swift ore
#

Not getting any luck on a search, is there a good way to order entities on a card based on their value? I kind of want a single list that shows my highest energy consumers in real time, preferably presented in an interesting way for a dashboard like a bar - but ultimately be able to see whats sucking power at a given moment, highest to lowest - animated to re-order without refresh

#

By the way, I have a quick question - I've been considering making a PR that would introduce a somewhat breaking change, but would help cleaning up the Themes list and management. Currently, every single defined theme in every single YAML is added to the frontend selector. For many themes this is not desirable, as they use a number of sub-styles to create a shareable base, so you end up with a bunch of "[DO NOT USE]" etc. themes (take a look at e.g. the Metro or LCARS themes).

My idea is quite simple, introduce a root level exported field in the ThemeVars interface (or quite possibly the Theme interface itself?), and then filter that list by either when the theme list is fetched from the HA backend, or when it is displayed. If exported is set to true (default would be set to false with the final implementation, but there should be a 'grace period' of 2-3 months for theme devs to make this update, during which the default is true with a warning about the theme lacking explicit definition of the variable).

This would clean up the theme selector dropdown, and theme devs could avoid all the wonky ________________________________________Common Base (Do Not Use): &common-colors or (DO NOT USE/MODIFY)=== LCARS Colors: &lcars-colors etc. names.

Would such a PR be welcome? Should I even bother with it?

Essentially saying "we want you to tell us which themes can be used, otherwise we'll assume none of them are"

stoic cedar
#

Themes that cared enough to add the "do not use" markers, will be happy to add the clean up option there, if their creator hasn't moved on. And that way, the themes whose creators have moved on, will still work and it won't cause problems for the less technical people that try to use them

sullen quail
#

If a theme creator moved on, it means there aren't any updates coming, therefore the end user is free to insert that one copy-paste line into the theme(s) they want to enable.

stoic cedar
#

True. But I'd say that's an argument for making it backwards compatible, not against. Because those users who don't know what yaml is, won't want to add the line for a working but unmaintained theme. And most of the ones that are actively maintained will be happy to get rid of the clutter once they find out it is possible

#

But that's just my opinion, of course

tired quail
#

i have this problem where i know enough about JS that i want to just make my own dashboard from scratch but also want to be able to use some of the existing cards but have a hard time bending the normal UI to my will without tons of work so then i end up starting projects and never finish them 🫠

old relic
#

yet i want a dashboard that is more custom than what I can get off-the-shelf hah
