@shell torrent I don't know -- play around with it and tell us 😛

[shell torrent]

Will do!

Trying to figure out a naming convention that works in all my use cases AND sort dynamically the way I want. Might take a while 😃

[empty heath]

What're your use cases?

[weak salmon]

So from what I’m reading, if you specify a specific entity, and then use a dynamic entity, the specific one will not be included with the rest of the dynamic ones. So you could, for example, specify the exact order for a few, and the rest will be added dynamically beneath them.

[shell torrent]

@empty heath Hmm.. this is gonna be a long answer. I hardly know 😃 A combination of room, if the lights are for "cosy surroundings" or "cooking", combined with lights scenarios, typically day/no one home/night/bright light (cleaning day) . I have family friendly views for: 1. Overview (alarm status, basic temperature, pool temperature, light scenario) 2: Alarm info 3: HVAC and Temprature for all rooms 4: All lights per room 5: All cams 6: Mediaplayers and then more admin like views for 7: All other info (current voltage, disk status, ping monitoring..) . Most importantly I want to show the info from different perspectives. Per room, then per room and entity type (lights/switches/sensor), then per group (Pool card = pool temperature, pool lights, poolpump switch, poolpump energy consumption).

[empty heath]

That is quite extensive.

[shell torrent]

@empty heath For me I think the best would be to have either nested groups or rather tagging. The possibility to set several tags per entity. Tags that you then can use in cards. light.kitchenwindow would then be tagged #cosylights #kitchen #tradfri #night and so on

[empty heath]

I think, if you're not going to be adding lights every day, it might be best to just hardcode the lights as entities 😛

Let me check on monster-card to see if attributes is ready.

[shell torrent]

@empty heath yeah I know. But when it works, it's family friendly (my top priority) and easy to administer (second)

[empty heath]

It appears to support attributes, so you could easily just add tag1: true, tag2: true, tag3: false (since in is not supported)

[shell torrent]

That's a good start, but the main thing is to find a way to use the same tags (or attributes) in cards, views and scripting

But I'll give it a try later! Really exciting development right now thanks to Lovelace.

..or rather: Thanks to everyone spending their time on developing HA.

[empty heath]

With scripting, it might be fairly easy to manage using custom attributes as well.

@shell torrent

{% set comma = joiner(', ') %}
{%- for entity in states if state_attr(entity.entity_id, 'tag1') -%}
  {{ comma() }}{{ entity.entity_id }}
{%- endfor -%}

[shell torrent]

@empty heath That seems fair. But where would I assign the tags to the entity?

(Maybe wrong channel for this)

[empty heath]

~customize

[kind shell]

By default, all of your devices will be visible and have a default icon determined by their domain. See https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/ for how to change that.

[empty heath]

In customize.yaml, just add something like:

light.kitchen_overhead:
  tag1: true
  tag3: true

light.living_room_side_table:
  tag2: true
  tag3: true

Of course, replace tagX with whatever you want, like family, admin, etc.

But just to make sure they don't conflict, I'd recommend naming the tags something like tag_family and tag_admin.

[shell torrent]

Really? Seems to good to be true 😃

Ok, now we're on to someting

[empty heath]

I have built many packages based off of the ability to add custom attributes using customize: 😉

AND you can reload customize.yaml without restarting Home Assistant 💥

[shell torrent]

I never realized you could add own. I have just used it for friendly names. Geez. I need more HA-time!

Just thinking out loud here:
So basically I could use a naming convention of "switch.switch01" and just customize the friendly name and tags. And then bulid most of the scripts and cards from the tags instead of keeping tabs on the actual name of the switch.
And when I move a switch to another room or purpose, I just change the tags, reload core and boom.

[empty heath]

@shell torrent Just for the record, thank you for collecting your thoughts in just one message!!! 👍 💯 (I'll show you why next...we had to create this snippet because people often would send their thoughts in 5-10 lines and it was annoying)

~thoughts

[kind shell]

Please don't use the support channel to think out aloud. Go through the basic troubleshooting steps and then highlight the specific problem that you are facing. We don't have access to your system and it is hard for people to imagine what may be going on.

[empty heath]

Also, for what it's worth, the whole custom cards movement is very concerning to me, because I am not sure if the future Lovelace UI manager will support moving them/customizing them/etc. This is the same reason it is not a good idea to use YAML anchors and references inside of ui-lovelace.yaml

But yes, your thoughts are pretty spot-on! 😃

[shell torrent]

Well, tags sounds much better than trying to find a naming convention that tries to cover all scenarios (which never works). I need to try this right away 😃

(firing up the DEV VM now)

[empty heath]

Oh, and, it might help to create a script to manage the turn_on/turn_off of a specific tag or tags 😉

[quick beacon]

stop abusing customize for custom attributes, it's bullshit

[weak salmon]

@empty heath semi-noob here - what are yaml anchors please?

[shell torrent]

@quick beacon interresting - why?

[split granite]

~yaml_anchors @weak salmon

[empty heath]

~yaml_anchor @weak salmon Again, I do not recommend you use this syntax in ui-lovelace.yaml because of the future of Lovelace.

[kind shell]

@weak salmon YAML has a handy feature called anchors, which let you easily duplicate content across your document: https://github.com/dale3h/homeassistant-config/blob/master/examples/learn_yaml.yaml#L105-L122

[weak salmon]

Ah okay, so you used anchors before to “duplicate” the cards, right?

[empty heath]

@quick beacon Just to confirm: you do realize that using customize for such things is one of the things that makes Home Assistant so powerful, right? There have been many things (read: work-arounds [because it wasn't supported in core]) in the past that I could not have accomplished without using customize.

[buoyant skiff]

Correct Dale

[empty heath]

@weak salmon Correct!

[weak salmon]

So best I avoid using them for now.
Just means that if I add a new device, I can’t just add it to a group, and have it appear on all views. I’ll have to add it individually to every card.

[split granite]

Which maybe suggests you should be re-thinking how you use the UI 😉

I doubt I've got any single entity in more than two cards, and even that's atypical

But, I view the UI as primarily being for an overview and display tool - and a good third of my entities, if not more, don't appear in it

[weak salmon]

@split granite Basically I had the default view with things I used often, and then the views were for individual rooms, where some cards repeated. But you’re right, maybe I need to rethink my approach. 👍🏼😊

[empty heath]

Give me a few minutes to find my way back to the bed and get settled. Still in a bit of pain, so it takes me a lot longer now.

[weak salmon]

Is there anyway to display the error card (invalid config) in Lovelace?

[wheat current]

That "card" is a persistant_notification, that has not yet been implemented, but you can set persistant_notifiction* as an ìnclude: filter in the ~monster-card

[kind shell]

Monster card is a magical type of card. Because it's dynamic if you're smart about it, you can have one card that adapts and that you don't need to touch when adding new entities & sensors to your setup. Supports both inclusion and exclusion filters with wildcard for entity_id: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/monster-card

[empty heath]

@shell torrent I have overlooked something very important, and gave you misinformation. One of the reasons that Lovelace was introduced is to get rid of customize: completely. I recant my suggestion on using it to manipulate Lovelace in a round-about way.

@shell torrent I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding.

[shell torrent]

@empty heath No problem - but a pity, it just seemed so spot on

[weak salmon]

@wheat current Thank you

[shell torrent]

@empty heath But I have to ask - is the goal to get rid of customize:completely or just from a lovelace point of view? After considering, I think the approach with customizing tags is great any very dynamic and great for using in scripts instead of groups. One of the main benefits is that you see on each entity which tags it has - compared to looking in each group to se if the entity is included.

[empty heath]

Based on my understanding, it is to get rid of customize completely, as this I believe is only used for the frontend, which is planned to move completely to Lovelace in the future (again, this is based on my personal understanding and could be invalid).

[split granite]

That's my read of many of the PRs, issues, and chats between the devs

There's a goal of completely separating the back end, and the front end, rather than the current situation where they're linked

[shell torrent]

That sounds reasonable. I assume scripts are considered backend? It would be interresting to discuss how tagging (or other ways to accomplish the same thing) is supposed to work then.

Which channel/forum are best for those discussions? #330944238910963714?

[wheat current]

@shell torrent scripts are a backend component to execute specified sequences, I do not think that will change, if should still be exposed to the UI like any other compoent/platform.

[mild veldt]

@empty heath omg, don't you live in Texas? What are you doing up at these hours? Lol

[calm rock]

Good morning! , need help on debugging what may be going on with the custom updater , in my case since yesterday is showing a blank card , like if the tracking cards were not working . looked at the js console and , it seams is not picking the custom cards attributes ,. it was working fine before , and checked the latest versions of custom_updater, and custom card , any hint for debugging appreciated

[buoyant skiff]

any logs available ?

very little to go on

[calm rock]

nothing relevant on su logs, or ha logs , i thought browser could of more help on trying to see what the js is doing ..

[buoyant skiff]

[calm rock]

ok, tks

[prime umbra]

dont think you need the custom card on custom_components

just the custom_updater

[calm rock]

i just followed the docs , i do have custom updater configured . ( and it was working a day ago) , this is why i dont know what may be wrong or changed

[prime umbra]

but do u have custom_cards.py also there?

thats from old versions, now you only need custom_updater.py

https://github.com/custom-components/custom_updater

[low parcel]

@tacit cave thx for the answer, added the component by copying the sample code, already had the sensors, reboot, and off course mapping values aren't allowed here, I'm getting tired of this, spent the other week half a day on the same mistake and then it turns out that the sample code had a ; instead of a : somewhere. So what's it for this cample code, because I can't find my mistake. Litterally copied and posted it and changed the sensor names to the appropiate names.

[tacit cave]

Post your code. Mapping not allowed is always a spacing issue in your yaml code or you accidentally put a colon at the end of a word that didn’t need it

[low parcel]

yeah

I know it's markup

what's the tool for posting code again?

[ivory ice]

Is there a way to prevent lovelace card caching when developing a new card? Or do I have to bump the resource url 'file.js?v=1' version cachebuster each time I want to see the new changes reflected?

[halcyon mantle]

Quick question - Do lovelace handle camera entities different as from the default one? I have 16 rstp CCTV cameras currently in HA, and it only pulls data when my screen is focussed on them. I created groups, with single entities in for the card display. These cards update every 5seconds or so when open on my sceen, but not otherwise. When I click on them they open and start a stream. Seems lovelace streams constantly, which kills the poor raspberry pi HA runs on

[rocky merlin]

@ivory ice the problem is in your browser, you could always in chrome use dev tools , "right-click" and press inspect. Then you can right-click refresh button in chrome and refresh with empty cache

[ivory ice]

@rocky merlin thanks!

[calm rock]

@prime umbra as said, i have the config as per the docs, but there is a problem and is not working

[mossy gale]

got round to getting Tautulli working again on my server, then thought Id try the card that is shared on the Community page. I can get it to work, but the text is black for the sensor info and I can't quite see it on the black Plex background. Havent seen anyone else mention this, so im thinking its my own fault. Not sure what though

[wheat current]

@mossy gale That is my fault, I did not test it on the default theme
you can add this to the style of the elements:

color: white

Hi all, been trying to just enter mydomain/lovelace today, but every time I meet an error and a call for system log write: https://domain.duckdns.org:8123/frontend_latest/app-6e4d53ede29a686d41a2bb0807ecd12c.js:2:12753 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined - my ui-lovelace.yaml file is empty right now, as per the pinned post - thoughts on what I can try? Javascript:latest is in the frontend part of configuration.yaml

[low parcel]

I get no image source configured on Picture Entity Card yet i have entity filled out: front_door_camera or is that not the correct Nest identity?

[mild veldt]

@low parcel should be full entity name

I.e domain as well

[low parcel]

@mild veldt domain?

[mild veldt]

Senor, camera, light, etc

[low parcel]

so camera.front_door_camera

doesn't work also, no error anymore, but also no picture (picture unavailable while camera is on and it works in the normal hassio view)

but I think I know why, nest won't be recognized as a cemara in the config, it's configuretd as "nest" in configuration yaml, not as camera, correct? Same with yr and weather

[mild veldt]

Use whatever it is in the states view

[low parcel]

I got the nest cams running, only problem toggle seems not to work (I have a link "recording") right bottom, it reacts very slow and doesn't turn the cam on when it's off

[mild veldt]

Are you saying that this toggle is slow just for Lovelace or in general it is not behaving as you want? If the latter, I would post in #330944238910963714

[icy bison]

Is there any way to have a dynamic (based on template, entity state) image for picture-elements. My use case is, I have recuperator and made a nice flow schema diagram which actually has two states depending on whether bypass is enabled or not. I would like to use the right diagram as a background for picture elements depending on the bypass state.

[fair star]

  entity: light.bed_light
  state_image:
    "on": /local/bed_light_on.png
    "off": /local/bed_light_off.png```

like this?

[icy bison]

yes, but this is for picture entity. I need picture elements, because on that diagram I would like to put some dynamic information from other entities, i.e. temperatures and fan power, etc

[fair star]

it is in the write up in the picture element too

was just linking example

[icy bison]

on picture-elements I can see only four config variables: type, image (which is static), elements and title.

the example you wrote above is for picture entity and there is no way to add other entities on top of it as you can do for picture-elements.

[fair star]

ok my bad that is in the element part and not background

[icy bison]

you see my point?

[fair star]

hmm yes

think that is above my very low paygrade

what about pointing it at a 'camera' feed that is changed by something else

nope

[wheat current]

@fair star Is it the BG image, or a image whitin the picture-elements you want to be dynamic?

[fair star]

its @icy bison he want the BG to change

[wheat current]

That is going to be tricky

[fair star]

i tried pointing at a camera feed that changes but nope

guessing if else wont work as its not a template

probably needs a custom card

[rich solstice]

I use this to change the (fake) BG image within picture elements so I can use my own custom information/entities on top of the image. Wouldn't that solve it? https://www.hastebin.com/eqikafojib.bash

Hi, when i migrated to lovelace, my climate entity is acting weird: https://imgur.com/k3eQYWZ. It doesn't list the temperature.

[split granite]

Is the state of that entity `Smart schedule* by any chance?

[olive forge]

it used to look like https://imgur.com/JkAbk54

yes, that is the current state

[split granite]

Lovelace isn't a one for one replacement of the stock UI - some things will behave differently

[olive forge]

I understand. I also understand that it is still in development

https://imgur.com/o9TKk2h more info on my climate entity

[split granite]

Somebody recently did a custom climate card - worth a search of this channel (or scroll up lots)

That might be more of what you're after

But the glance card only shows states

There's also https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/entity-attributes-card and other custom cards that may do more of what you're after

[olive forge]

I understand, I'll look in to that, thanks

[rich solstice]

It is a known issue at the moment: https://github.com/home-assistant/ui-schema/issues/116 Should be fixed in one of the next releases

[torn patio]

Heyas, does anyone know if it's possible to have the persistent notifications appear in docker? They are kinda useful in the standard UI.

[split granite]

Have you searched the channel yet 😉 There's not currently support, but there is a work around with the custom monster card

[subtle rune]

@buoyant skiff Trying to work on the card for share the love, but I can't upload picture to assets

[buoyant skiff]

@wheat current ideas ?

[wheat current]

@buoyant skiff Handled in PM ;)
I need to rewrite the instructions 😉

[buoyant skiff]

ok

good kinda busy with server config

[olive forge]

@rich solstice thanks!!

@rich solstice just to know what to expect: is the next lovelace UI embedded in the next Home Assistant release?

[rich solstice]

I don't know. I'm just a user

[split granite]

Lovelace is part of Home Assistant, it's not a separate thing, so yes @olive forge

[olive forge]

great, thanks

[split granite]

Of course, like all things, it depends on when PRs are merged as to whether particular features will be in 0.75, or 0.76, or later

[tame dove]

I have a couple input_number.my_input_number lines added to an entities card that causes all kinds of errors. Is there a special way to do an input_number entity.

[split granite]

~share your config that's causing "all kinds of errors" and details of the errors

Working on errors

[split granite]

Not seen that, I've got a card with input numbers and no similar error

[tame dove]

Every time I click on the tab it generated about 4 of those same error messages

[split granite]

Is that the only thing in that view?

[raven nacelle]

@tame dove Please remove your URL there

[tame dove]

No. All my automations. But as soon as I remove the two input_number lines, all is well

[split granite]

I've just added an input number to one of mine with automations, no issues

Don't forget to edit that post with the URL to your HA system @tame dove

I think

😂

[split granite]

Yup

[tame dove]

Thanks

Stupid mistake

[split granite]

I can't duplicate the error. Are you using any custom cards, custom components, or custom Javascript at all?

[tame dove]

So, all this better alert stuff is in a package. My first package. Prob something stupid with all of it

*battery

It is all on notoriousbdg github

https://github.com/notoriousbdg/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/packages/battery_alert.yaml

Except I am not using the MQTT discovery automations

Soon as I comment them out. No more errors

[wheat current]

Do you see the input_number in ?
I tried, the lovelace config and with one of the input_number entities from your links and they work here

[tame dove]

They do in fact show up in the ui. They just generate errors

As well as in states

[wheat current]

Can you post the error again without your url?

[tame dove]

Yes

/frontend_es5/408ca3ca049f38d75e4b.chunk.js:1:26419 TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'this.shadowRoot.querySelector("paper-slider").offsetWidth')

[wheat current]

Make a backup of your ui-lovelace.yaml file, and only place that card in there

nevermind @tame dove..
Are you using Firefox or Safari?

if so this seems to be a known issue https://github.com/home-assistant/ui-schema/issues/118 should work in Chrome.

[tame dove]

Ok. Let me check

No errors in chrome. I use Firefox and safari. Thanks

[mild veldt]

@shell carbon haven’t seen a clock yet but custom cards are pretty easy to make. Might be worth taking a shot at it.

https://codepen.io/ebrewe/pen/gxobvQ

[raven nacelle]

@mild veldt Easy is relative 😉

[mild veldt]

Nope, super easy 😉

[raven nacelle]

So, looks like we are getting a clock card soon 😃

[mild veldt]

Looking at examples out there I would say it is approachable for anyone with JavaScript knowledge

I’m on vacation all week in the woods 😃

[raven nacelle]

nice...enjoy!!

My JavaScript knowledge is very poor, but will take a look at it.

[tacit cave]

I've written a few c# clocks if you need help with the math

I don't know js though

@raven nacelle

[raven nacelle]

Math is not a problem....JS is 😉

[tacit cave]

Lol I have the same problem!

[mild veldt]

Stack overflow for the win

[storm lion]

anyone know if with picture-entity you can specify the end point, rather than a beginning with style

[mild veldt]

@storm lion I don’t follow the question

[storm lion]

so i have a state label that report back status, I want it aligned left, but everytime the value changes I want it to re-align so it stays left alignment and I don't loose some of the text of the side of the card

[wheat current]

@storm lion ;)

style:
  transform: none

[storm lion]

and then set it at left 100% and top 0%?

[wheat current]

left 100% wil be outside the card ;)
I find that px scale properly on different devices, eks:

        elements:
          - type: custom:text-element
            text: "<b style='color: orange; font-size: 18px'>Now Playing: </b>"
            style:
              top: 7%
              left: 15px
              transform: none

[storm lion]

whoops - I meant right alignment 😛

[wheat current]

oh 😂
Let me test that 😉

[storm lion]

thanks 👍 - just trying to finish off my Xiaomi Vacuum Card to add to sharethelove.io 😉

[rich solstice]

You can use transform: translate(0%,-50%)

with of course right: 0px

[wheat current]

What he said ^^

[storm lion]

I'll give that a try, thanking you 😃

[rich solstice]

yw 😀

[wheat current]

0px put it right on the edge, looks much cleaner if you set ti to somewhere between 5 and 15 😉

[rich solstice]

depends on the text, for the state-label which I use it for it works. But you are right though better to keep some extra spacing 😉

[wheat current]

the state label has a 8px margin in all directions 😃

[rich solstice]

Well that explains why I have 0px in my config and it still looks nice 😄

[wheat current]

yepp :D
That brings the value in between the 5-15 I prefer 😄

[rich solstice]

I just realize that I have been using 8px for most of the other elements. So I'm safe 😜

[storm lion]

Thanks Gents

https://imgur.com/a/lmKztf5

looks good to me

[rich solstice]

Indeed 👍

[storm lion]

couldn't have got there without you guys 😛

[buoyant skiff]

jackjohnonuk 😃

try the battery tab with the blue border from the other way

just change border-left-style to border-right-style

could look nice

[storm lion]

🤔 will do

[vapid field]

is it possible to add a alarm to the lavelace UI

[rich solstice]

There is a custom alarm card: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/test_thermo/alarm_control_panel-card

[vapid field]

Thanks

[north spear]

@wheat current not sure who asked for a basic element to use with picture elements as clock

https://gist.github.com/ciotlosm/86dbf1a1053a148bc3f7a4aa9c5a7eb3 here you go a fixed size analog watch

[buoyant skiff]

i asked for an animated weather card 😛

[vapid field]

@rich solstice I get the error that the custom element not exist

[north spear]

@buoyant skiff wasn't that already available ?

[buoyant skiff]

no

only a codepen

https://codepen.io/ste-vg/pen/Gqakbo

[rich solstice]

@vapid field Follow this: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/ you have to add some extra files to make the custom card work

[north spear]

@buoyant skiff nice card

[buoyant skiff]

yeah that would look sexy under lovelace

[serene sierra]

              - type: picture-entity

@buoyant skiff I'll put that next on my list after the thermostat if no one else gets to it

[buoyant skiff]

tnx @north spear 😃

[vapid field]

@buoyant skiff Looks Realy nice, Do you have a way to inport it?

[low parcel]

maybe a very very stupid question but where do you keep the images referenced as /local , i've only config/share/addons/backup to write to

[vapid field]

I'm experiencing the same problem... if I've correctly understand the instructions on the hass.io site, we should create a www directory inside the same of the configuration.yaml, so should be inside the config directory

I've put images inside that directory but can't display them from lovelace pic cards

[storm lion]

first commit to sharethelove 😜

[vapid field]

ahahah

[storm lion]

@subtle rune - loving your plant sensor addition 😃 immediately implemented

[buoyant skiff]

merged both submits 😃

[subtle rune]

@storm lion Thanks! I like it too 😄

[low parcel]

and what's that addition?

[tacit cave]

@low parcel what you are using I believe

[low parcel]

ah ok, it's lovely indeed

[subtle rune]

It's at sharethelove

[storm lion]

I had a typo in my card, and I added a link to the summary for the plant card, another PR to be approved please 😃

[subtle rune]

Hm, I can only see an empty page on the xiaomi vacuum card and I can't see my plants

[low parcel]

I'm sorry @subtle rune what is sharethelove

[tacit cave]

yah, i was noticing that.

[subtle rune]

@low parcel Look in the pinned messages for link

[buoyant skiff]

sharethelove is a community gallery for lovelace

https://sharethelove.io

[storm lion]

@subtle rune - because you didnt add your's to summary.md (which generates the index) and I linked mine as xiaomi_vacuum_card and not xiaomi_vacuum_card.md

[subtle rune]

Ooooh

[storm lion]

I think I've fixed it though 😃

[subtle rune]

@storm lion Just saw it, thanks!

@storm lion There was still a naming fix to be done, but I fixed it. Now they're up!

[storm lion]

thanks, was doing it while my baby daughter was trying to fight me for the keyboard ... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it 😉

thinking about it perhaps the card naming should be standardised to - not what I've called it _ , I guess more people have the habit of -

will change and do a PR

[subtle rune]

👍🏼

[buoyant skiff]

nicely done 😃

[vapid field]

im trying to make a lightgroup named "light" - i added it to my configuration.yaml per https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.group/ - but not seeing it on the dashboard after restarting HASS

[dapper rain]

Is card size explained somewhere?

https://ibb.co/huQbTo finally took some time to make me some own card too lol

[subtle rune]

@vapid field You have to add it to Lovelace if that's what you mean.

[buoyant skiff]

@dapper rain a nice card game me some ideas for doing something like that

with working template for wifi signal

so it reflects the wifi strength

with icon template

[dapper rain]

Of the monitored device?

[buoyant skiff]

sure that to its easy to do

[dapper rain]

Yeah but I only use owntracks for Beacon detection

The wifi icon is from my openwrt device tracker

I could probably fetch snr from openwrt but no real use for me

And that's not a picture elements card. I tried it with picture elements first but positioning is nasty and very limited functionality

[buoyant skiff]

haha then your doing it wrong 😄

[dapper rain]

I did it with flex now which pretty much aligns the items itself

I found the percentage positioning to be not that accurate and it's hard to add or remove items as you maybe also need to reposition the surrounding items then

[subtle rune]

@dapper rain how do you use flex with it? Sounds interesting

[dapper rain]

it's a custom card

you can use anything there

also tables if you want to lol

[prime umbra]

hi is there anyway for the device tracker pictures only show the status and don't show names?
what would be the appropriate card for it?

[fathom tree]

Where did the custom thermometer card go? It’s not on the custom cards repo?

[buoyant skiff]

which themometer card

heltos or marius ?

[fathom tree]

Uh... both 😃

[mortal cape]

we need a moon card

[buoyant skiff]

loads of things we need

like this ?

https://codepen.io/TomMcPadden/pen/ufKEv

[mortal cape]

ha. nah

[buoyant skiff]

or this ?

https://codepen.io/xaelan/pen/bjqOvo

[mortal cape]

I was thinking for the phases. yeah more like that one

I was about to cut this up

[buoyant skiff]

well the other one will do the job 😉

i still want this

https://codepen.io/ste-vg/pen/Gqakbo

seems more useful

[mortal cape]

I saw that from earlier. That's a nice one

the rain bouncing off the bottom, the whole card shaking for lightning/thunder, and the rays for the sun...love it

[buoyant skiff]

yeah its a perfect card to show off the beauty of lovelace

[mortal cape]

I wouldn't know how to go about connecting that moon phases to the moon sensor.

[wheat current]

I have the same problem, some of these codepen stuff looks simple, but I have no of how to infuse it with a state 😛

[buoyant skiff]

https://codepen.io/collection/nrBmYE

loads of cool ui examples there

[polar kelp]

Can anyone imagine a fast and reliable way of getting the width of a lovelace card?

Ok... Here's a first attempt at column-card https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-column-card

It works, but slowly.

[dense roost]

@buoyant skiff once we hey css import you'll be able to have your beautiful weather card.
Edit: actually that looks really simple, to set the card you just add a class to the div, if the darksky sensor says it's gonna snow you add a snow class. Seems like someone could implement that right now. I need to start learning how to make custom cards.

@polar kelp I take a screenshot and measure it there on the device I'm intending to use it on but you can also get the dimensions from the chrome inspect tool

[uneven vector]

@prime umbra the glance card has a bunch of options you can play around for showing names or not, check out https://home-assistant-lovelace-gallery.netlify.com/#demo-hui-glance-card for example

[cunning violet]

Are there any plans to add backgrounds to glance cards? @ the moment i'm just using picture elements.

[dense roost]

Is imported JavaScript run on window load?

[lucid trail]

Having a small issue with entity-attributes-card ... errors: 2018-07-29 22:46:17 ERROR (MainThread) https://hassio/local/lovelace_cards/entity-attributes-card.js?v=1:4:30 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected string any ideas? I've added the ?v=1 to the path, no dice. JS file looks like it is spelled correctly and in the right place too

[polar kelp]

@dense roost Thanks, but I meant in software, and dynamic.

[dense roost]

@polar kelp ah gotcha

[wheat current]

@lucid trail Where did you get it? and what browser are you using?

[buoyant skiff]

@dense roost it still needs to be modified

[subtle rune]

@dapper rain Alright, so you want to share that custom card..?

[hot gyro]

hmm I am struggling to call a service with multiple entities, tried various variations on a service-botton - reason being I want to call home-assistant.turn_off with lights and switches to turn off everything on a level - any idea how to do that?

everything I tried ends with 'homeassistant/turn_off cannot be called without entity_id"

I have tried, service_data: entity_id: light.corner_lamp_1, light.corner_lamp_2

                    service_data:
                    entities:
                      - light.corner_lamp_1
                      - light.corner_lamp_2
                      - light.corner_lamp_3```

[wheat current]

      service: homeassistant.turn_off
      service_data:
        entity_id: light.corner_lamp_1, light.corner_lamp_2

entity_id needs an extra indent

[hot gyro]

same error

looks like this now - type: picture-elements #title: Ground Floor image: /local/floorplans/Ground_Floor.jpg elements: - type: service-button title: Lights Off style: top: 97% left: 90% padding: 0px service: homeassistant.turn_off service_data: entity_id: light.corner_lamp_1, light.corner_lamp_2

it almost looks like it would only support a single entity

which I have tried but it doesnt seem to work with a group that includes lights and switches

if I change this to homeassistant.turn_off I get the same error - though I would think it should still work - type: picture-elements #title: 1st Floor image: /local/floorplans/1st_Floor.jpg elements: - type: service-button title: Lights Off style: top: 97% left: 90% padding: 0px service: light.turn_off service_data: entity_id: group.all_1st_floor_lights

just tested it so I believe it may be related to the service

calling it manually however works just fine 2018-07-30 09:56:11 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event call_service[L]: domain=homeassistant, service=turn_off, service_data=entity_id=group.all_ground_floor_lights, service_call_id=3050767152-2102> 2018-07-30 09:56:11 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event call_service[L]: domain=light, service=turn_off, service_data=entity_id=['light.corner_lamp_1', 'light.corner_lamp_2', 'light.corner_lamp_3', 'light.livingroom_floor_lamp'], service_call_id=3050767152-2103> 2018-07-30 09:56:11 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event call_service[L]: domain=switch, service=turn_off, service_data=entity_id=['switch.entrance_switch_inside', 'switch.entrance_switch_outside', 'switch.kitchen_switch_dining', 'switch.kitchen_switch_main', 'switch.livingroom_switch_front', 'switch.livingroom_switch_rear'], service_call_id=3050767152-2104>

thats with the group including lights and switches

[wheat current]

It seems to call the correct services

[hot gyro]

yh and everything switches off but not if I do the same via the service-button

like this - type: picture-elements #title: Ground Floor image: /local/floorplans/Ground_Floor.jpg elements: - type: service-button title: Lights Off style: top: 97% left: 90% padding: 0px service: homeassistant.turn_off service_data: entity_id: group.all_ground_floor_lights and I get the error again

looks like it should actually work by removing the service_data tag | https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/service-calls/ | but same result

[wheat current]

@hot gyro
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pull/1489
Services show as toast and homeassistant/turn_on and homeassistant/turn_off now work.

[hot gyro]

hmm ok that may well explain it - just tried the switch.turn_off with a few entities and all my switches turn_off including the one that controls my internetGW so I guess there might be a quirk in there as well

meaning it selected more than I added to the entity_id:

[wheat current]

It sounds like it does not see the service_data entty.

[hot gyro]

this is what I had: ``` service: switch.turn_off
service_data:
entity_id: switch.kitchen_switch_main, switch.kitchen_switch_dining, switch.entrance_switch_inside, switch.entrance_switch_outside, switch.livingroom_switch_rear, switch.livingroom_switch_front

[wheat current]

if you run the service switch.turn_off without any entities if will turn off all switches

[hot gyro]

ok good to know for the next time 😃

everything just went black including monitor etc ... so I was like 0.0

I'll wait for the new code then

[buoyant skiff]

neat found an ssd hdd that i forgot about

120gb 😛

[storm lion]

nice!

[buoyant skiff]

was looking for an additional sensor for ha

[wheat current]

@hot gyro sate-label and state-icon should work with services

[buoyant skiff]

getting a usb dock and use that for os filesystem instead for hass

[storm lion]

@hot gyro - - type: service-button there's your problem I think Ignore me

[hot gyro]

I was just about to say works for the other floors

[storm lion]

Very strange, having actually read it now, that should work 🤔

[wheat current]

should beeing the key word 😉

[storm lion]

if in doubt kill it with 🔥

[placid geyser]

Is it possible to render dynamic text from a sensor for example in the markdown card? Or is there another way to render just text from a sensor without the sensor's name?

[storm lion]

@placid geyser custom cards are your friend - https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/lovelace_custom_card.html

[wheat current]

or in picture-elements https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#label-with-state-text

@placid geyser with custom cards/elements you get exactly what you want ;)
https://image.ibb.co/fKAEG8/image.png
https://hastebin.com/xopogubeqo.bash

[hot gyro]

@wheat current tried state-label, works for off but not for on - only the switches will turn on, the lights in the group stay off

[wheat current]

Then that is broken to :P
I'm sure the next beta is soon to be released 😉

[hot gyro]

thats fine - as long as I can stop doubting myself 😃

[wheat current]

After the edit that looked more correct 😂

[hot gyro]

hrhr

[buoyant skiff]

homeassistant-0.74.2 upgrading finally 😛

been running on 0.73.2 since its release 😛

[wheat current]

Now you can use custom elements 😛

[placid geyser]

@wheat current @storm lion Good point. Thanks.

[dense roost]

It's just sitting there staring at me.. https://github.com/home-assistant/ui-schema/issues/115

[buoyant skiff]

hehe

thats cause they slowed down the release cycle

which is a good thing

[dense roost]

Hah yeah I'm sure it is, I'm just thinking about all the things we can do with it. It will be glorious, as long as it's applied before the page loads. I'm using the js kiosk hack but it applies the styles after the header loads which causes a flash of header before it's removed. I'd imagine css import would be different?

[wheat current]

I doubt that, it will still be side loaded

[dense roost]

Might not be so bad once we get an official kiosk mode, most of the things I want to do I don't think would cause a flash but we'll see

[wheat current]

it might be that they load it earlier then the js files 🤷

[north spear]

@lucid trail you can raise an issue against the source repo

make sure you include a config sample and maybe dev-info panel values for the sensor attributes you're trying to get

[polar kelp]

Hey, @north spear . You seem to know what you're doing. Do you have any hints on how I can get the columns in my column-card to update when the window resizes?

Now I go on the hass object reload, but that's kind of slow...

[north spear]

hmm

a window resize event will get lovelace to re-calculate columns

but I don't get what your card is doing

could you describe a flow in more detail ?

[polar kelp]

Pretty much the same thing, but inside a card. Can be used e.g. in a vertical stack with panel:true to get a header AND automatically adjusting columns.

Lovelace gets the number of columns from the window width. I get it from the element width.

The problem is that I don't get the updated widths soon enough. After resizing the window, it can take several seconds before the card notices something changed.

[north spear]

are you recalculating flow inside of your card only on hass updates ?

or binding to window resize ?

[polar kelp]

I haven't been able to access the window resize event.

[north spear]

because you could bind to window resize in constructor

[polar kelp]

That's probably where I'm missing something

[north spear]

or better yet in setConfig

[polar kelp]

Disclaimer: I used to "know" javascript back in the 90s, and my google-fu fails me.

[north spear]

disclaimer .. I come from that age as well 😄

c727 helped me a lot 😛

window.addEventListener('resize', (event) => {
  // do stuff here
});

add this in your setConfig

and do your stuff in there 😃

the trick is to use arrow (=>) functions to keep context

otherwise inside the function you don't get access to outside 'this'

in '90s javascript term...this helps you avoid that = this workaround

@raven nacelle new thermostat version up

still missing chevrons but good enough for testing

https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/test_thermo/thermostat-card @wheat current @viral sorrel if you're interested to see how it behaves. I'm sure it still needs adjustments

[polar kelp]

Hey! That works! Awesome!

Thanks a lot! I never found the window object, just different versions of $window or $(window) and more modern stuff...

[fading sorrel]

So someone wanted a nest...

😛

pretty nice

[north spear]

I think this would work well on watches as well

I made the tap area for control 50% of the surface or 25% if you have two setpoints 😃

people wanted a good looking control that can go also on picture-elements

[dense roost]

That's hot Marius. I would love a reason to start wearing my Android Wear watch again. Yelling at Google to change things in my house is getting annoying. Is there a current way to access home assistant from a watch interface? In a simple fashion that doesn't show the entire UI at once?

[north spear]

@dense roost I know a colleague at work was doing something with an Android watch, I can ask

[gaunt owl]

@north spear I installed the new version of your thermostat. Mine still doesn't allow me to adjust. Is that right?

[north spear]

@gaunt owl make sure you increase ?v=0.3 or something to bust the cache

[gaunt owl]

I did. But I'll do it again.

[wheat current]

if only there was an updater that could do that automagically

[gaunt owl]

ahhh. Figured it out. changing the v= doesn't REALLY bust the cache, because the lib.js is cached too. I had to force the cache reload.

@wheat current thermostat-card isn't available in the updater. I have the updater. 😃

[north spear]

I will add versioning to the lib, good point

[polar kelp]

@north spear Do you also have a magic event for when a page has loaded? The cards aren't displayed when setConfig is run, so I can't get the actual width then...

[north spear]

a generic page-load wouldn't help you as there will be things done async that won't be considered

is your card loading other cards? or the other way around?

(I'm being really slow after the long weekend with the team building, lot of alcohol and no sleep)

[dense roost]

@wheat current if only.

[raven nacelle]

@north spear The temp settings work great. We should also think ways for resuming schedule (cancelling the temp hold).

[north spear]

is that operation_mode change ?

[raven nacelle]

Not the operation mode change, just resuming the schedule

[north spear]

how would the service call look in HA?

cancel temp hold is very specific to a thermostat brand, and i'm sure there is a specific setup in HA for it, but I don't know which

[raven nacelle]

For Ecobee, there is a service call climate.ecobee_resume_program

I am sure there is something similar for other thermostats

[north spear]

ah, that is a custom thing, not related to generic climate component

[raven nacelle]

I see

[north spear]

this probably requires some sort of config mode

where you would have such settings

and allow the service call through a config setting of the card

[rocky merlin]

Maybe make actual service call as parameter? Custom is solved

[raven nacelle]

I agree

[north spear]

I don't think this should be a blocker to release a stable version

[raven nacelle]

absolutely

this is a good to have feature

we already have a MVP (or very close to it after the chevrons)

[fathom tree]

I'm posting a Lovelace how-to video this morning.

including warning that it's going to keep changing

[rocky merlin]

So how long you guys until Lovelace close to beta stage?

You hear any time frame?

[north spear]

@rocky merlin it's in 'experimental' phase. I assume it won't come out of experimental until things like Kiosk mode or Notifications will be available

[serene sierra]

its impossible to use picture-entity with monster-card?

              - type: custom:monster-card
                card:
                  type: picture-entity
                filter:
                  include:
                    - entity: device_tracker.dad_bt
                when:
                  entity: device_tracker.dad_bt
                  state: home

[north spear]

@serene sierra you don't need monster-card for that

you can easily do it with entity-filter

actually you will be able to use a new type of card from next release

but your setup is too complex anyway for what you are trying to achieve

@serene sierra

      - type: custom:monster-card
        card:
          type: picture-entity
          image: /local/test.png
          entity: device_tracker.demo_home_boy
        show_empty: false
        filter:
          include:
            - entity: device_tracker.demo_home_boy
              state: home

[serene sierra]

@north spear where i can read about new card type? im trying to feel horizontal-stack inside vertical-stack configured as panel, people who have home state can be displayed in row. thank you for example

[calm rock]

Hi!, is it possible to include a type: custom:state-element as part of a - type: picture-elements card ? , it is giving me an error on this , tks

[north spear]

@serene sierra https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pull/1524 I am not sure if it's in the docs yet. https://home-assistant-lovelace-gallery.netlify.com/#demo-hui-conditional-card

you will need to wait for beta

@calm rock yes it is possible since 0.74.0 if I recall

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/changelog/

you need to make sure you have resources setup properly

and you have to check your JS console for errors, maybe you didn't put files in the right place

@serene sierra but you have to wait for next beta, just keep that in mind

[serene sierra]

ok thank you its seems very nice

[calm rock]

@north spear , is this still valid? https://github.com/custom-cards/state-element

[north spear]

@calm rock you own't need that in next version

[serene sierra]

@north spear im trying to hide state and name with ```yaml
- type: picture-entity
image: /local/icons/kodi.png
entity: input_boolean.lovelace_kodi_tv_1
name: Kodi 1
tap_action: toggle
show_name: false
show_state: false

[north spear]

it should be still valid, but not needed in beta

@serene sierra those are available only in next release also

if those weren't announced here yet: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/changelog/ they are not available

[serene sierra]

get it

[north spear]

https://home-assistant-lovelace-gallery.netlify.com/ is for devs to keep stuff in sync, but gets released before actual frontend makes it in a stable release

you can see what's coming, but not always available yet unless you use dev version

[rocky merlin]

ahh ok @north spear thanks

[serene sierra]

@north spear i was used example that you post but my problem what card is still presented with state Away

https://hastebin.com/ocudolidob.bash

[north spear]

You failed 😃

show_empty not aligned like in my example

Yours it’s too much to the right

Should be at the same level as ‘filter’

[serene sierra]

ooops. you right but even when i was fix it card still show up in row with state away

missing something more? https://hastebin.com/ecefiwutim.bash

i think it was bad idea change state from dev-tools because when it match real state all fine

[north spear]

You could use groups or template sensors so poor dad doesn’t have to show up twice

[serene sierra]

if poor dad received payment for each appearance 😁

[vapid field]

Hey i have a question.. been googling for a while.. is it possible to show all unused devices in lovelace?

[serene sierra]

@vapid field right corner in UI and press unused entities

[vapid field]

My god im sorry i missed that one 😃

[serene sierra]

you can exclude entities in ui-lovelace.yaml with ```yaml
excluded_entities:

• weblink.router

[vapid field]

Time to change lovelace to default, wish me luck

[forest star]

@serene sierra very nice how do you do the row of family guy characters ?

Its an entity filter with what else ?

Glance card ?

[serene sierra]

@forest star https://hastebin.com/uzovawukuh.bash picture-ntity card

[forest star]

I see ... nice

What exactly its a monster card

Is an entity filter card ?

[kind shell]

Monster card is a magical type of card. Because it's dynamic if you're smart about it, you can have one card that adapts and that you don't need to touch when adding new entities & sensors to your setup. Supports both inclusion and exclusion filters with wildcard for entity_id: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/monster-card

[forest star]

I read that but in the example page :

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/

there is an entity filter card and glance card no monster card

[wheat current]

Correct...

[sudden lion]

The monster card is a custom card

Not vanilla Lovelace

[wheat current]

hmm... "Vanilla Lovelace" sounds like a boyband 😛

[forest star]

so basically that entity filter and glance card make a monster card because its a custom card ?

[wheat current]

How did you get to that conclution?

[forest star]

check the example

https://hastebin.com/abuzuvirem.bash

there is no mention of monster card

[wheat current]

no

The monster-card is a custom card as in not a part of the official release

[split granite]

Hence why the link you got from HassBot was to GitHub, not the official docs 😉

[forest star]

Oh I see....

I did not check the HassBot link

thanks

@wheat current how is the USPS custom component coming up ?

[wheat current]

1: wrong channel, that has nothing to do with #frontend-archived 😉 2: I will notify you when alpha testing is done 😃

[forest star]

Oh sorry you are right .... thanks !! 😃

[north spear]

@serene sierra by the way, you could use picture instead of picture-entity for your cards

and no need to wait for the new release

considering you're just showing/ hiding stuff with monster

[polar kelp]

column-card version 0.0.1: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-column-card
Basic functionality complete and snappy (enough).

Ping @buoyant skiff . You seemed interested.

[buoyant skiff]

yeah nice will try it out

[calm rock]

Hi, on picture glance card ,is it possible to customize the icons based on its state ? , or just changing the icon associated with the entity Id ?

[subtle rune]

@calm rock I have several entities with icon template and that works in Lovelace as well.

[calm rock]

@subtle rune , ok so it takes the icon defined on the icon template, i was confused , because , have the same entities , showing different icon colors on the cards .

will check again, tks

[north spear]

@raven nacelle found a couple of bugs. I had to add state filtering earlier on. Changing temperature was impossible on systems with a lot of state changes 😃

[serene sierra]

is it possible to use tap_action: toggle with that code ```yaml
- type: horizontal-stack
cards:
- type: entity-filter
entities:
- light.office
state_filter:
- 'on'
card:
type: glance
title: ' '

and i can answer to myself what yes

[north spear]

you can delete messages you know? 😄

it's no shame, and saves screens of text to read for people checking the channel less often

[serene sierra]

with ```yaml
- type: entity-filter
entities:
- entity: light.office
tap_action: toggle

yes I'm know it now 😄 anyway may be that will be helpful for someone

[north spear]

it won't be

text goes up pretty often, if you really want to be helpful open a PR to done of the docs

there it will be very helpful

majority read docs and forum, very few read chat, and those that do usually skip things like that

unless it's a pretty picture it will get skipped already tomorrow 😃

[serene sierra]

@north spear ok i will learn how to do this

[north spear]

it's easy, go to the page you think it's useful on and click the Edit this page on GitHub link on top right

very easy

[winter wasp]

is anyone using lovelace with the iOS app?

[raven nacelle]

@winter wasp You can turn on LL for iOS app

[winter wasp]

@raven nacelle but is it still wonky?

[raven nacelle]

no

works perfectly

you can try it out and switch back easily....

[winter wasp]

oh! https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace#setting-lovelace-as-the-default-ui

last time i checked it needed some clunky redirects

cool, that was easy

i must have missed the domain key being removed from entity-filter. is there a reason why it was taken out?

[raven nacelle]

to simplify the entity-filter card

[winter wasp]

but it was so nice having a wildcard

[storm lion]

monster-card is your friend @winter wasp

https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/monster-card

[winter wasp]

@storm lion ha, i'm guessing that won't be merged 😉

[storm lion]

nope, it's a custom card that is very awesome, very easy to install though

[mossy gale]

playing about with horizontal stack using the HAGallery example, replaced with my own image with is 220x357. When i look load UI for Lovelace the image is quite large and the glance card is under it, not next to it as per the example, here is the config https://hastebin.com/piqizunifo.bash

[winter wasp]

is there a way to optionally hide certain entities in a single card? i have cards for my washer and dryer, and i don’t care what the current power usage is if they’re not running

entity-filter only seems to work own an entity’s own state

[mossy gale]

could you use a monster-card

that allows you to exclude attributes (well it allows you to include by attributes, so assuming it allows exclude by attribute)

[buoyant skiff]

need todo some monstercard examples for sharethelove.io

😃

[mossy gale]

i cant even get a simple horizontal-stack to work

[lucid trail]

@north spear thanks for looking at my entity-attributes-card issue. I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/issues/136

[iron locust]

I think I might be missing something conceptually, but can I have unique per-device lovelace UIs so different wall tablets in different rooms have different content?

[mild veldt]

Sure. They would be different views. Could even put them in kiosk mode to further that

[iron locust]

is there documentation or somewhere else I can read up on that? Sorry if I missed somewhere obvious

[dense roost]

@iron locust there's currently no kiosk mode, though I thought someone said it should be coming in next update. Different views are different pages https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/views/

Hopefully when they get the user system finished you'll be able to log into different accounts for each wall tablet/device so you'll have unique views for each device/login.

There's a kiosk hack you can find by searching home assistant's discord, but it's a little wonky as it's more of a hack and causes the header to show then disappear when the page loads which isn't ideal.

[north spear]

@lucid trail read the FAQ. You might not have the right file. See the raw vs html bit at the very end of FAQ

[lucid trail]

@north spear Thanks, but I have the raw data

[north spear]

Put v=2 in resources

You might have had html initially

And browser cached that

So change ?v=1 to ?v=2

[iron locust]

@dense roost : Ah, thanks. I'm quickly finding out that pretty much everything modern home-automation is so bleeding edge there's no real standard practices; that said, is there a typical solution people go with for HA linked wall mounted tablets?

[north spear]

@lucid trail did you try it?

[lucid trail]

@north spear sorry, try what? copying the raw code into the .js file? Yes, I verified that

[north spear]

@lucid trail : Put v=2 in resources, you might have had html initially and browser cached that, so change ?v=1 to ?v=2 in your ui-lovelace file

[lucid trail]

ok thx will try that

@north spear I re-copied everything and placed a v4 after it and it is working now! Thanks!

[north spear]

no problem

[lucid trail]

@north spear great work too, man - i think i can speak for everyone when i say that we really appreciate all the cool things you've introduced

[subtle rune]

I just tried out "exclude_entities" from LL. There is no way to have wildcards there, am I right? That would be a huge advantage. Especially since all entities used in custom cards seem to show up in unused entities anyway. I'd like to exclude all automations, for example.

[north spear]

Thanks @lucid trail Make sure to check out the thermostat preview

@subtle rune you could do exclude_domains instead of entitites

[subtle rune]

@north spear Is that something that's possible now or a suggestion?

[north spear]

I think it's possible now

have a look here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/helpers/entityfilter.py

[subtle rune]

Doesn't seem to work. Maybe in dev only?

[north spear]

apologies, I haven't checked when it was merged in

and I have to run, but possible it's dev only

[subtle rune]

As long as it's coming 😃

The monster card is saving me soooo much time with making a view with cards for different kind of automations. Just including like automation.*alarm* and the card for alarm automations is done! ❤

[lucid trail]

@north spear yes! Already tried once but had weird results. It looked to only do celsius ...and I’m waiting for that Ecobee skin too! 😉

[north spear]

Nah. It works fine with F

Maybe caching as well

[viral sorrel]

is there any way of specifying entities with a wildcard?

sort of like with customize_glob?

[kind shell]

Monster card is a magical type of card. Because it's dynamic if you're smart about it, you can have one card that adapts and that you don't need to touch when adding new entities & sensors to your setup. Supports both inclusion and exclusion filters with wildcard for entity_id: https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/monster-card

[viral sorrel]

oh yes.. I am so into that

[stable socket]

Quick question (this is obviously just preference really) but do you guys tend to split your UI by room or by function?

[fading sorrel]

@stable socket For me, it is by room/floor. E.g., I have multiple rooms on the top floor

but not that much automations

so in those cases I'll stick to floor

secondly, I do have some function based stuff

[north spear]

Both

[fading sorrel]

e.g, energy tab

(solar, energy company power feed, gas usage)

[serene sierra]

@fading sorrel how you control gas usage?

[fading sorrel]

Well control...

I monitor

The gas meters over here have a wireless protocol to our electricity meters, which has an serial kinda port

so I can see my usage live

[serene sierra]

oh thanks i was thinking maybe you have some hardware sensor which can be purchased

[fading sorrel]

In the Netherlands, we don't have to 😉

[stable socket]

Cool, I was feeling room probably makes a lot more sense so I'll stick with that

[viral sorrel]

in Australia I still have a turning disc for the power readings :/

[north spear]

I used smappee that had support

[fading sorrel]

@viral sorrel Those are easy to read as well!

[viral sorrel]

how?

[fading sorrel]

The disk as a reflective dot on it

so you can detect its turn

[viral sorrel]

not sure ours do 😛 more like a black mark

[fading sorrel]

well that works as well

some models have a little "peek" hole, where the reflection shows

but those disc models still are viable

@viral sorrel https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VTWU72-2IVQ/maxresdefault.jpg

[viral sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq6dzl6RVzc

one of these I think I have

[fading sorrel]

Another example https://d1uyvls174j03l.cloudfront.net/eneco-nl/attachment/c60d8ba5-42c4-425b-b5e8-ced0a6841522.jpg

[viral sorrel]

what's that second one measuring?

is there a light?

or is it actually a camera on the digits?

[fading sorrel]

That video you've send, actually shows it a little, let me find the exact second and point it out to you

[viral sorrel]

I wish we had smart meters.. or at least a pulsing light

another problem is that there is no power in the power box (ironically)

so battery powered solutions only

and wireless.. and it may as well be a faraday cage :/

[fading sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq6dzl6RVzc&feature=youtu.be&t=2m34s
On exactly 2m34 a closup of a running meter is made. On the left side, you see 2 square holes. Watch the top hole... you see a kinda "blink" (black spot passing).

A light sensitive sensor can trigger on that.

[viral sorrel]

yeah the black mark I know

not sure how I'd power something in there.. wonder if wifi could break through

I love how peoplke on the internet are into everything.. collecting power meters 😃

[fading sorrel]

Yeah or shoe laces :S

People are nuts

or collecting nuts

:S whatever

Although I feel like I've started collecting IoT related devices...

:S

[viral sorrel]

for research purposes!

[polar kelp]

Not really on topic, but I got a smart water meter a while ago. It sucks. Before i could count rotations. Now the only output is encrypted radio once per month 😦

So not all smart things are good for smart homes.

[viral sorrel]

no display?

seems like a lot of people find the disc meters to be a pain..

[polar kelp]

It displays overall consumption with 7-segments, but not flow which is much more useful.

[fading sorrel]

I really liked this project... never made it to the public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=208q9MeG8t0

[viral sorrel]

is this a water flow meter? I've wanted one for the shower :"P

with temp measuring preferably

[fading sorrel]

Flow, total consumption, pressure and temperature

[viral sorrel]

awesome!

wish I could fit CTs behind the power meter.. but that would cost hundreds for an electrician to do

these seem cool.. http://www.m5stack.com

could even display a "card" on the ones with lcd

wonder if there's a way to get an esp32 to render javascript 😛

[calm rock]

Of course you can , the esp can work as web server ,

[viral sorrel]

  - title: Monster Card
    card:
      title: Office
      type: entities
      show_header_toggle: false
    filter:
      include:
        - entity_id: "*office*"

anything obviously wrong here?

because nothing shows up

[grim mica]

@viral sorrel first line should be : '- type: custom:monster-card'

[viral sorrel]

wow! thanks.. have no idea how it became title

hmm.. still doesn't work.. means I have more problems..

[grim mica]

Do you have the monster-card .js in your www folder?

[viral sorrel]

yes.. I think my problem is I don't know how to use the example within a tab

or view I guess it's called

[grim mica]

did you also added the recourses on the verry top of the ui-lovelace.yaml?

[viral sorrel]

yeah I can't figure it out.. with - or without

    - title: Monster Card
      cards:
        - type: entities
          title: Office
          show_header_toggle: false
        filter:
          include:
            - entity_id: "*office*"

that was my last attempt

whether title has - or not makes no difference

I don't really understand the significance of the -

recourses?

[grim mica]

  - title: Automation
    id: Automation

        filter:
          include:

i use this

[viral sorrel]

let me show the entire file

I'm still building off basic examples

https://hastebin.com/judedacohu.bash

that's the current expermiment

[grim mica]

let me check

[viral sorrel]

I've gone through multiple variations..

just that last view tab that's causing trouble

[grim mica]

i dont see the resources for the custom card

did you follow ; https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace

?

[viral sorrel]

yes.. that's what I'm trying to follow

[grim mica]

oke let me change some stuff for you just a moment

[viral sorrel]

I de-indented that last tab.. seems I had that wrong

why do I have cards: ??? I copied and pasted..

[grim mica]

this should work : https://hastebin.com/reriqebara.bash

see line 1-3 for the resources

just make sure you have the monster-card.js in the config/www folder

[viral sorrel]

just before I try that this was my latest failure

https://hastebin.com/ayotuzotuf.bash

so is it card or cards?

[grim mica]

your still missing the resources

[viral sorrel]

and are id's mandatory?

isn't this the resource?

    - type: custom:monster-card

[grim mica]

resources:
  - url: /local/monster-card.js?v=1
    type: js

put that on top of the yaml file

[viral sorrel]

that doesn't exist ANYWHERE on the monster-card page :/

[wheat current]

it's in the main README of that repo ;)
https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace#lovelace-custom-cards

[subtle rune]

I put up a few examples of my lovelace gui (basically a rough first draft, just to be able to move from the old gui) on my github readme if anyone is interested :)
https://github.com/isabellaalstrom/HomeAssistantConfiguration/blob/master/README.md#examples-from-my-lovelace-gui

[calm rock]

i tryed this: https://hastebin.com/vofiqodexe.bash , but it seams is not possible to insert a glance card , inside a monster , inside a picture element card ?

[subtle rune]

@calm rock filter is required in monster card

so instead of entities you want the filter and it should be at the same indentation as card

@calm rock https://hastebin.com/usujocuyoc.bash

[raven nacelle]

@subtle rune Does picture-elements support gif?

[subtle rune]

@raven nacelle I have no idea 😄

[raven nacelle]

you have the animated fan in the gif

[subtle rune]

That's the old ui

[raven nacelle]

oh ok

[subtle rune]

But the fan rotation is actually all css

[raven nacelle]

then, it should be possible in LL

I don't have any smart fans, but small animations would be nice

[subtle rune]

Yes 😃

[icy kettle]

Is there any way to use divider already?! THat is only one thing I'm waiting for to migrate to lovelace

[subtle rune]

My fans aren't smart either, I just control via ir

[wheat current]

@icy kettle it's aviable in the RC version, (curently only if you have pip/git install)

[calm rock]

@subtle rune , tks, it seams something else is missing , it shows the same ( just the picture , not the glance card) , by looking at the console i see this : create-hui-element.js:27 monster-card TypeError: Cannot read property 'include' of undefined
at HTMLElement.setConfig (monster-card.js?v=0.2.3:72)
at M (create-hui-element.js:24)

[wheat current]

how does your card config look like?

[calm rock]

@wheat current , just testing the picture elements part https://hastebin.com/jewuzacazi.bash

now the error is different: https://hastebin.com/nakiyiyoke.css

[wheat current]

You need to add style for picture-elements elements

[calm rock]

ok, will look into it , this is what im trying to achieve , instead of of using the picture glance on the top, insert a glance card , in the picture on the bottom https://imgur.com/a/Y7kuW9v

[dense roost]

@wheat current GitHub is confusing when you've never used it. Who would have known the you're supposed to read the readme file, amirite?

[wheat current]

Me, myself and I

[dense roost]

I thought there currently wasn't a beta, isn't 0.74.2 the most recent version you can have?

[wheat current]

if you have a pip install there is a 0.75.0b0 version

[calm rock]

@wheat current , it is close now , but : is it possible to set a transparent background on a glance card ?

[wheat current]

not that I know about 🤷

[icy kettle]

@wheat current Just upgraded to 0.75.0b0 and having the error with -type: divider

[wheat current]

the error ? 🤔

[icy kettle]

@wheat current Entity object at position 0 is missing entity field. { "type": "entities", "entities": [ { "type": "divider" } ] }

[wheat current]

wierd.. this give me a card with just that line

title: Home
views:
  - cards:
      - type: entities
        entities:
          - type: divider

[icy kettle]

Let me give one more try

@wheat current Hmm... the same error on MacOX Chrome and Android Chrome

[wheat current]

Looks like a config error, can you share it?

[kind shell]

:point_down:

Format Code:

Please use https://www.hastebin.com to share code.

[icy kettle]

@wheat current what kind of config file do you want me to share?!

[wheat current]

The one that is giving you issues

[icy kettle]

@wheat current that is my ui-lovelace.yaml (https://www.hastebin.com/ekinunozih.shell)

@wheat current Thank you in advance!

[wheat current]

The only place you have divider is commented out?

And when I paste that in my RC instanse I get this without any errors:

[icy kettle]

Wow

It might be some custom cards... I'll play around

[wheat current]

Are you sure your upgrade was sucessful?

[icy kettle]

Yes, I'm sure. I see the correct version at pip freeze and on About page

[mossy gale]

Using some work here from @serene sierra as inspiration, I am trying to have the 3 pictures for myself,missus and daughter change to a different picture when Home or away using the following card https://www.hastebin.com/rajatujire.bash

If I change the status in the dev console I end up with 6 pictures (2 per person) both showing same status

[wheat current]

hmm..
@icy kettle try incognito mode, if that fails make a backup of you file and try it with only the last view containing divider

[mossy gale]

ive been faffing around all day on this, so throwing the towel in so to speak to see if anyone here can offer any pointers

[broken mango]

Hello everyone. Is there any option to change text align for entities card. When entity has long string as value card aligns text to left.

[mossy gale]

This is the screen before I change a status of Duncan to away https://imgur.com/vYrw5N6 , after the picture doesnt change to the black and white version i have (just updated the previous hastebin link)

[wheat current]

@mossy gale why not use https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-entity/#state_image for that?

[mossy gale]

@wheat current i was using a starter for 10 provided by someone here, i just changed to fit my needs... let me look into that... I still have another 50% of the day to spend trying to get it to work 😃

[wheat current]

I think sata_image will give you what you seek for half the code 😛

[mossy gale]

ok... here goes.... 😃 will report back @wheat current

Ive spent most of the last 3 days in Lovelace channel

[mossy gale]

quick question on the state_image

as I use Life 360 for location tracking with lots of locations setup, how do i best set the state_image to my alternate to "home" regardless of where they are? Is state_image just for On or Off as in the example

[wheat current]

@mossy gale Can match any state, you can also use a "fallback" image:

      - type: picture-entity
        entity: device_tracker.ludeeus
        image: /local/fallback.png
        state_image:
          "home": /local/home.png
          "work": /local/work.png

[mossy gale]

ah h a I see!

thanks @wheat current

[calm rock]

is there any filter to change a color of an image element ? , hue rotate seams not to be setting a specific color correctly , and couldnt find s "set-color" type of filter

[mossy gale]

i wasnt thinking in that mode, start with black n white image and then change for locations im i nterested in

[sage fjord]

hi

i tried to test the lovelace ui, but im unable to use images from local storage and didn't find what permissions the local files needs to be used on ha

im running ha on docker container

[wheat current]

put the images in /config/www/ and use /local/ when you use them
eks /config/www/my_img.png is/local/my_img.png
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/http/#hosting-files

[sage fjord]

ok thanks, sorry for stupid question, should have found that

[mossy gale]

@wheat current it all works, of course this is no surprise to you 😃 Thanks for the pointer, I am so happy. Wish I had asked this morning and not wasted 4 hours trying to get it working myself

[wheat current]

Good :)
I have never tried it, but it made sense 😛

[mossy gale]

now i have a much more interesting view of my family if they are home or not https://imgur.com/a/Ex9L22i
