Hmm.... maybe 🤷

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

hey there, Im playing arround with lovelace with a Hass.io installation. How can I see the error-log? any suggestionsß

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

is the error occoring when you reload ?

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

On errors, anyone else seeing a lot of Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_stateDisplay' of null since the last updates?

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

nope havent updated last update was a failure so waiting for others to take the plunge

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

This one is relatively stable

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

well I try to setup the thermostat-card but I just get a "custom element doesn't exist" in the card so I wanted to investigate by myself whats happening 😃

#

by looking in the error log

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

Did you include the required files in ui-lovelace.yaml?

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

    type: module```

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

and refreshed the browser?

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

@raven nacelle got inspired by the custom card you and ludeeus played around with the other day

#

so i did this

📎 unknown.png

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

nop, even restarted Hass.io

#

thats why I wanted to look up the error log, but I dont know how

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

all the logs are in Dev tools. In the browser, you can inspect and see what is missing

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

hm got a 404 for thermostat-card.js

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

then its not there

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

most likely the path is incorrect

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

exactly 😛

#

not at that path 😄

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

1: Are it located under /config/www/
2: If you created that now, you need to restart HA (only first time)

#

3: if it was this card https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/thermostat-card you also need the .lib.js file

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

yeah path was incorrect

#

I see, I will give it a try

#

yeah thx, its working

rotund island Aug 20, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

Hi, could someone pleas ehelp me with the syntax for the background image ? i am unable to get it right

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

@rotund island what do you have currently?

rotund island Aug 20, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

@mild veldt here is all the examples i have tried

#

https://hastebin.com/isedekeyuh.cpp

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

Ah, for the view. I haven't played around with that yet

#

Did you just try the one from the docs? background: center / cover no-repeat url("/local/background.png") fixed

#

and does that image reside in /config/www?

rotund island Aug 20, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

well that's the example i've seen in https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/

#

image resides in www

#

and double checked the name lower /upper case

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 4:21 PM

#

the one in the example works

patent lagoon Aug 20, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

Hi! Whats the correct card to use just for a security camera. I can't get either picture-glance nor picture-elements working with an empty entity list... Thanks!

prime umbra Aug 20, 2018, 4:23 PM

#

@mild veldt what type card you using to display the sensor.feedparser info?

rotund island Aug 20, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

@wheat current @mild veldt my bad i didn't look correctly in my folder tree it was in config but i thought it was in www 🤦

#

i lost 2 evenings not understanding what was wrong

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

@prime umbra I'm in the process of making a list-card

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

so why isnt it done yet ?

#

😛

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

Yeah! @mild veldt what's taking so long?

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

@mild veldt hurry up

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

...nevermind, I'm quitting HA and going openhab

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

stop typing here 😛

#

and get on with it

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

@mild veldt I don't care what you use as long as you make the card 😅

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

@prime umbra here's a preview: https://imgur.com/a/HgdBJvm

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

i dont care perioid 😛

#

See he is trying to ignore us now 😛

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

/mute @buoyant skiff

prime umbra Aug 20, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

@mild veldt looks awesome
very nice!!!!

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

i still want that vodka cooling system that i posted in #the-water-cooler

#

those russians sure know how to build a pc 😛

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

some way to hide the calendar-card if there is no event? Was thinking of Conditional Card, but not sure which state I should use: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-google-calendar/63662

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

dunno

#

its kinda new

#

best option is to read the docs and if its not in the docs contact the dev

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

@vapid field conditional card is designed for stuff like that

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

@wheat current thats what I thought, but how would the condition look like?

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

just absolutely beautiful 👌

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

hehe

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

not the answer that I expected ... and from the yaml view:

(list)(Required)List of entity IDs and matching states.

entity
(string)(Required)HA entity ID.

state
(string)(Optional)Entity state is equal to this value.*

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:11 PM

#

So how does an no event look from the state from where its grabbing thats the question you should be asking yourself

#

then proceed from there

gilded plume Aug 20, 2018, 5:14 PM

#

Like your work @buoyant skiff with the greetingscard, will you also share how you done it ? 😃

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:14 PM

#

yes i will there is an earlier version of it on

#

.sharethelove

kind shellBOT Aug 20, 2018, 5:14 PM

#

A place for LoveLace Config https://sharethelove.io/

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:15 PM

#

but once im done with the new version i will submit it to the site

gilded plume Aug 20, 2018, 5:15 PM

#

Nice! Yes i saw this one indeed (https://sharethelove.io/picture-elements-cards/greeter-card) but yours is much more expanded

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:15 PM

#

hehe yepp it is

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

hmmm, after I finish this list-card what should I do next? A component for personalcapital.com or expand the built-in shopping list to allow for multiple lists?

vale citrus Aug 20, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

How can you change the icon color when a state changes? I have input booleans that I want to turn Yellow when they are on, and the default color when they are off

vapid field Aug 20, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

@buoyant skiff unfortunately it does not look different: https://hastebin.com/ozobaqeroc.css
Seems like the hass.io component looks for the next event and the card just displays events that are in the next 7 days.

What comes up my mind is, to create a sensor that checks if for example the next birthday event is within the next 7 days. and has a state true or false. Thats a work around, but might work. But not sure how to create such sensor

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

Personal capital has an API?

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

unofficial, but yes

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

oh that is nice

#

then you know my preference 😉

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

maybe focus back on untappd again 😛

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

what's untappd lacking?

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

that beer aint gonna drink itself 😛

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

@raven nacelle https://github.com/haochi/personalcapital

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

dunno thats the question always worth asking

#

what cant it do yet

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

check-ins, I guess, but wouldn't really want to do that from HA

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

search beer ? 😛

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

and it is already on PyPi...so should be easy

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

yeah, I just need to figure out how to get the user input code from the front-end. I'll have to poke around in some other components to figure out how they do it (can't think of any off the top of my head that do anything like that besides oauth ones, but that's different)

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

I think Ecobee uses a configurator

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

cool. I'll check that out

#

i'll probably build it out with a hardcoded session token and leave the configurator part as the last piece

#

@buoyant skiff search beer for what purpose? to be added to your wishlist?

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

something like that

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

go for it. I don't see that being very useful from HA. HA is my consumer of such data to display, don't think it's well suited that. plus the 100 calls/hour limit really restricts what you can do

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

yeah true

#

dunno what im interested in creating next

#

probly just keep on grinding on my ui

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:46 PM

#

I wonder if it would make sense to put some of these more developed custom user cards into full custom_cards? like a system monitor one, or a greeter

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:46 PM

#

i got an idea for a summary card however

#

instead of doing templating all the time

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

maybe, was a thought, but probably not. I have no idea how to add other card types into another card in javascript, which would be a requirement for lots of them

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

well not really having to look at other cards

#

all i need is attributes to i can have a a looooooooooooooooong ass message

#

the i could just use ludeeus attrib card for display puroses

#

but my idea was to have user setup what they want to display with all the fluff text and then just adding it as a template almost

#

a modified template attribute sensor

#

@mild veldt does that sound bad ?

azure scarab Aug 20, 2018, 6:01 PM

#

I'm struggling to figure out how to best format my "floorplan" image in Lovelace? I have them set as svg but it's not scaling to my screen size

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

is it set up as pieces or a single image ?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

goes to get some food instead

azure scarab Aug 20, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

it's just a single image

#

Its a picture element that I'm trying to use as a background/floorplan

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

add panel: true to the window

mild veldt Aug 20, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

*view

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

What he said^^

azure scarab Aug 20, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

Thanks guys

#

that did it

vale citrus Aug 20, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

Hey guys, how can you change the icon color when a state changes? I have input booleans that I want to turn Yellow when they are on, and the default color when they are off

raven nacelle Aug 20, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

@vale citrus You can use icon_color for this. See my customize_glob.yaml for example https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/customize_glob.yaml

vale citrus Aug 20, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

Thanks @raven nacelle !

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 7:30 PM

Same images that was in you GIF earlier 😄

empty heath Aug 20, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

Very cool!

#

I'm assuming it works with relative local URLs also? i.e. /local/long-card-1/img1.jpg?

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

for now it only uses requests.get, but it is not an issue adding logic for filename

empty heath Aug 20, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

Ooooo, what if you allowed it to read an entire directory of images? 😮

#

That way, you just add the directory, and images can be added whenever you want.

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

That is quite possible 😃

vale citrus Aug 20, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

How do you increase the width of Lovelace? I would think that it would fill the window size but it seems to be cutting off around 400px

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

panel: true

#

is one way

vale citrus Aug 20, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

Do you happen to know which part of the documentation mentions that? That worked BTW

wheat current Aug 20, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

The first page of the Lovelace docs

#

ups... I lied, it's "hidden" under view https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/views/

vale citrus Aug 20, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Found it, thank you. Do you know how to change the width of a card?

buoyant skiff Aug 20, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

so far the only way to change the witdth is by panel true

#

and then having a horizontal stack

halcyon mantle Aug 20, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

Is it possible to make a badge conditional? Or change color based on state?

#

Conditional in the sense of only visible if 'true'/'on'

#

Also, are these conditions 'and' or 'or'```

type: conditional
conditions:

#

I tested and see it is an 'or'

placid geyser Aug 20, 2018, 8:43 PM

#

God, do I hate Javascript...

#

Why can't all browsers treat js equally.

mild veldt Aug 21, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

It's probably riddled with errors, but here's my list-card that can be used in conjunction with the sensor.feedparser custom_component: https://github.com/custom-cards/list-card

#

Hopefully someone with some actual JS skills can take a look at it at some point and clean it up 😃

dense roost Aug 21, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

@mild veldt niice but your formatting in the readme file didn't take in the column object, unless it's supposed to be that way

mild veldt Aug 21, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

I’ll double check in a bit. Gotta get the kids to bed

#

is there anyway around this? a lot of times the section wont load at all for me

mild veldt Aug 21, 2018, 3:23 AM

#

remove the calendar entries or edit the card you're using to do a better job checking that the entity exists first

stable swift Aug 21, 2018, 7:01 AM

so feel free to add more stuff to it

I'm amazed at how much stuff Frenck is involved in.. it's kinda crazy

a curated list isnt that hard to do

but it is appriciated

#

well ladida then

subtle rune Aug 21, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

Haven't tried yet

#

Does it actually do anything yet?

wheat current Aug 21, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

it enable you to add this to a card https://github.com/custom-cards/username-element to show the username of the logged in user.
And any thing your user changes (states) are logged to the DB

buoyant skiff Aug 21, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

and if your lucky it hangs in the middle of login in giving you an error

#

great features

wheat current Aug 21, 2018, 8:39 AM

#

That has never happend to me 🤷 but I use chrome 😛

buoyant skiff Aug 21, 2018, 8:39 AM

#

can recreate it under chrome too so please stop bashing ff its just annoying

#

there isnt just one browser users are gonna pick whatever they feel is the best for em to use

wheat current Aug 21, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

since ther token are used by the client, you may need to reload the browser after a restart

buoyant skiff Aug 21, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

doesnt help with a reload first thing i tried

#

the only way to actually get it working is by clearing cookies

#

if the token is invalid or outdated it should redirect to login again

#

that would be the sane option

wheat current Aug 21, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

That is what I ment with reload

#

refresh does not help at all

buoyant skiff Aug 21, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

it still shouldnt hang in mid login

#

anyways this is all offtopic

subtle rune Aug 21, 2018, 8:54 AM

#

I'm just worried about my api 😉 but it shouldnt be an issue if I enable legacy-thingy I guess

#

Not if we're talking about the user card 😄

#

I kinda want that now to customize greeting!

wheat current Aug 21, 2018, 8:55 AM

#

Legacy still works for apps that uses api_password

subtle rune Aug 21, 2018, 8:58 AM

#

Any word on when the notification drawer might show up? I was hoping on this release but it didnt make it 😢

buoyant skiff Aug 21, 2018, 9:03 AM

#

probly next major release

#

i know the auth system is gonna be good im just frustrated that it didnt recive more beta testing before being released

#

not just me that has had issues with it

#

takes away time from doing more cool lovelace stuff

subtle rune Aug 21, 2018, 9:22 AM

#

I have now implemented user name element in my greeter card 😃

@stable swift you can always use a vertical stack or horizontal stack and add the missing functionality as a secondary card until the thermostat solution receives the missing features. It will take a while to get there.

Can you use a paper-dialog in a custom card? How would one do it?

polar kelp Aug 21, 2018, 1:02 PM

Could we all just pause a moment and appreciate the fact that @buoyant skiff is backing up his data? You all should do that too. If you don't have a regular backup system, today is a very good day to get one. Well done, @buoyant skiff .

well thanks for that snarky remark i guess ? 😛

polar kelp Aug 21, 2018, 1:03 PM

No. Really. Everyone should back up their data. Right now. Noone should have to lose four years of personal photos because of a hard drive crash.

so pluggin that flaw basically

wheat current Aug 21, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

Sidenote regarding backup:
A backup is not just moving you stuff to and ext hdd, you should at least have 3 physical copies of your important data, at a minimum of 2 geographical locations.

buoyant skiff Aug 21, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

raid 1 thats why physical copy then the shit im backing up now is an offsite backup

#

asked a buddy to install synthing on his end with a 2tb drive

#

and setting up an additional backup isnt a big deal

#

just introduce the drive you wanna add and let it sync up

#

@polar kelp when are you gonna add your cards to the update tracker ?

How did you find out?

That one can use paper-dialog-scrollable?

north spear Aug 21, 2018, 1:23 PM

Just use developer console and see what you have defined 😃

Hi! When using a scripts as entity in a picture-glance card, how can I configure it to execute on click instead of popping up the tab with more info?

~~https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/glance/#tap_action call-service~~ Oh, sorry. Picture-glance... not sure that works there.

#

@half osprey could you tell me how to use the paper-dialog in a custom card?

patent lagoon Aug 21, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

I am just trying to display a security camera image and have a button within the card to execute a script. Am I using the wrong card type?

polar kelp Aug 21, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

I made special template switches for that

switch:
  - platform: template
    ptz_left:
      value_template: "{{ true }}"
      turn_on:
      turn_off:
        - service: script.camera_ptz
          data: {entity_id: camera.my_camera, direction: up }```

#

And then included those switches in the picture-glance.

#

They are always on by default, because that looks nicer.

patent lagoon Aug 21, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

Good workaround, thanks!

polar kelp Aug 21, 2018, 2:52 PM

Hmm, interesting. This add-on is doing almost exactly that.

but my changes aren't showing?

#

any advice?

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:06 AM

#

What editor are you using?

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 7:06 AM

#

the HASS

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:06 AM

#

(based on the Ctrl+F5, I am assuming you're on Windows)

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 7:06 AM

#

Yeah and Inkscape to make my images

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:06 AM

#

"the HASS" -- that could mean lots of things. But, based on that, I am assuming you're using Hass.io + Configurator add-on. Right?

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 7:07 AM

#

Yeah

#

The web editor

#

I made a few changes to an image I'm using for my picture element and it's not showing up in lovelace

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:08 AM

#

https://media1.giphy.com/media/8VrtCswiLDNnO/giphy.gif

#

Well, there are actually a couple of different "web editors" available for Hass.io.

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 7:09 AM

#

ah I didn't know that

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:09 AM

#

Hence why I assumed Configurator 😉

polar kelp Aug 22, 2018, 7:09 AM

#

If it's just the image not updating, you can try to go to the URL of the image directly. That might refresh your browser cache.

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:10 AM

#

Sadly, the IDE add-on doesn't get much attention, even though it is far superior to the Configurator add-on.

#

@azure scarab Try Ctrl+Shift+F5.

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 7:11 AM

#

hmm that doesn't do anything

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:11 AM

#

Chrome?

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 7:11 AM

#

Yeah, so it looks like my changes are showing up in incognito

#

Yeah Chrome

#

Is there a better way to test changes?

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:12 AM

#

What about Ctrl+Shift+R?

#

Well, you can add ?v=0.0.1 to the end of the image URL.

#

(and then increment that version number each time you change it)

#

Sadly, browsers are designed to cache files as efficiently as possible, and are not meant for developer changes.

polar kelp Aug 22, 2018, 7:14 AM

#

TO DISABLE CACHING IN CHROME

Right click anywhere on the page, choose Inspect
Push F1 to open DevTools settings (Fn+F1 on a mac)
Under Network, check the box "Disable Cache (While DevTools are open)"
Refresh the page as normal
This will make sure all changes are forwarded as long as the Inspect pane is open.

Useful if your browser displays the old version of a newly update image, or if the changes to your custom javascript doesn't seem to do anything.

I do not seem to be able to get any Lovelace Custom Cards to operate correctly. I have tried several and each time I reload the page a red card is displayed containing the message “custom element doesn’t exist". This is immediately overwritten by the custom card rendered and operating as it should. Any ideas why I am getting the error displayed first?

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:26 AM

@polar kelp Let me check, 1 sec.

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

its normal for custom cards to blink and say that it doesnt exit @vapid field

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

@polar kelp Yup, that works. 😮

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

it needs to load the resource before it can display it

polar kelp Aug 22, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

Great. I'll put that in the message

vapid field Aug 22, 2018, 7:28 AM

#

@buoyant skiff I assume that this will be tidied up as Lovelace evolves. It looks a bit scrappy if not.

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 7:28 AM

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:18 AM

#

nope

#

been busy with jinja templating for icons

#

got some wicked cool things happening on my greeter card now

#

ive set up the proximity sensor for ha

and then i did some cool templating

#

for it

so the icons for home and work are dynamic they change base on state

that's actually a guy with a man bun

#

also how big is that card that you can read any of that text?

How do I get things like weather forecast to show up on a panel?

storm lion Aug 22, 2018, 8:22 AM

full screen on like a 40" monitor?

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:22 AM

#

its freaking huge

#

since im using panel true

#

this is all tablet size stuff

#

not smart phone friendly 😛

storm lion Aug 22, 2018, 8:22 AM

#

I need to update my greeter card - but works amazingly well on my little fire 7 tablet by the front door

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:23 AM

#

so ive setup on location to pulse when im at that place

#

and when im walking towards there are footsteps

#

walkinga away is footsteps again but backpedaling

#

plus it displays it

subtle rune Aug 22, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

You will have to share to code for your updated card sometime soon 😉

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

but the amount of sunhours was the coolest one to make

#

so much shit that went into that

#

so next card will be huge

#

thats why it seems like im not doing that much

#

cause there is so much going into this

subtle rune Aug 22, 2018, 8:27 AM

#

That's why I can't bear to rewrite it myself when you seem to have a good thing going 😉

Can I not use a binary sensor as a state senor?

#

state-label?

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:30 AM

how are you trying to set it up ?

show me a snipplet

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 8:31 AM

under a picture element?

or am I better off having a image with a on/off picture

#

sorry this is all still really new to me

          - type: state-label

i have a black background

I put a red border around it and found it

its kinda hard to read black on black

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 8:38 AM

I guess I should probably go with an image

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

Can you use the image type with any entity?

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

picture elements ?

#

is that what your refering too ?

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

yeah so under my picture elements I have some images with an image for on/off

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

yeah

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

I want to do something similar with my binary sensor

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

use type: image

#

its in the docs

#

and there are examples on sharethelove

azure scarab Aug 22, 2018, 8:53 AM

or this

https://codepen.io/tchx/pen/PBjJqW?page=6

cleaner imho

cause that clock is freaking huge like that

midnight monolith Aug 22, 2018, 9:01 AM

#

Well, what if you don't see very well?
And, I think at night, you only want to be 'overinformed' by other stuff... my main goal is still to have a clock :-). The extra information, for me, is just waste while I'm sleeping

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 9:01 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

not saying that your work is bad or anything so dont take any offense just saying that the clock is kinda large compared to anything else

#

you could vary the size of hours minutes and seconds thats would make it look at bit less static

I'm still trying to figure out if badges can be conditional in lovelace? I want my alarm badge to only display when armed

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 9:13 AM

#

should be possible else use the monster card for it

#

havent playted around with the monster card that much

#

but im guessing that ill do that later when i start with system information

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 9:16 AM

How do you do badges in LL?

halcyon mantle Aug 22, 2018, 9:16 AM

Also still just using lovelace in its native format, I try to avoid customisations since those usually breaks with upgrades

@wheat current ```

Aha, those are for the view, I doubt you can get those to be contidional.

halcyon mantle Aug 22, 2018, 9:19 AM

#

Damn, would be cool to be able to only show 'active' badges - E.g when someone is home their badge pop up and certain states that need your attention

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 9:19 AM

#

You can do a glance style with monster-card, that will almost get you badges, but in a card

halcyon mantle Aug 22, 2018, 9:20 AM

I guess a work around is to have it as the first card in a view

That can wait until after lunch I think 😆

@night patrol - https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/conditional/

That's useful for something else I am doing Jack, but yes Thomas, that seems simpler for my current plan. Thanks both!

#

hmm. I made the www folder, and a sub folder called lovelace, and then added /local/lovelace/night.png to a config but it's not showing up

#

took out the sub folder, still doesn't seem to like it

#

let me restart again

#

still nothing

#

okay now lunch, back later!

polar kelp Aug 22, 2018, 11:55 AM

what about http://your-ha-ip:8123/local/lovelace/night.png ?

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 12:22 PM

#

playing catch up on messages throughout the night, so someone might have answered this better; but, @halcyon mantle you can use the state-badge in picture elements which would allow you to hide it with a conditional. Granted your picture-elements card would be just that single badge. So doable I think, but some extra work.

Any ideas why the column_width criteria for glance cards doesn't work in Firefox? It seems to work perfectly in the Chrome-based Vivaldi browser, but isn't centered in Firefox.

In Vivaldi the four glance buttons are centered, whereas in Firefox they are squished to the left with a blank space on the right (looks like it's made to fit 5 icons instead of 4).

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

browsers are inherently awful in that they are free to apply css in different ways

#

time to brush off your copies of netscape

grim light Aug 22, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

Ah Netscape! I can hear that modem dialup screech now.

#

It's not a huge deal as it works fine on my mobile browser which is where I'll be accessing the UI mostly. Just annoying that it's messed up in desktop Firefox.

The last few releases have been good. I'm still leaning towards switching back to Vivaldi as my primary though.

storm lion Aug 22, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

and today I learnt about Vivaldi

grim light Aug 22, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

It's a fork of Chrome, but has some awesome added features (ex: the sidebar, and the ability to tile pages within the same browser window)

storm lion Aug 22, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

does chrome not had extensions that do the same thing?

grim light Aug 22, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

Possibly

#

I'm not a fan of running a ton of extensions though

#

I also prefer the look of Vivaldi

storm lion Aug 22, 2018, 1:05 PM

I'll have to give it go then, thanks for the heads up

@polar kelp That doesn't seem to work either. I can browse to the file using a web browser, but only when using https, and that ovbiously gives me a cert error because it's for my duckdns

polar kelp Aug 22, 2018, 1:21 PM

Well... at least the file is in the right place then. So the problem is probably the config, I'd guess.

updated it

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 1:30 PM

#

@night patrol Missing / before local/home.png on first value of state_image

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:30 PM

#

oh yeah ignore that

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

so I missed the earlier discussion....what is not working there?

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

I didn't read the original issue.

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

sorry, I tried it just in case but it didn't work

#

The images won't show in the UI

#

The card is there, and updates correctly, but no images

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

no images or for any particular state?

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

no images for any of them

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

Can you do an inspection in Chrome to see the dealio?

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

it cycles between those 6 states, but it never shows the image

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

try removing the "working from home" line....that does not look right

#

states have _ and not spaces

empty heath Aug 22, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

@raven nacelle That should only affect that single state.

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

true....

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

Yeah it was stopping that one from working actually

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

so the others are working?

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

yeah

#

working from home is too now

#

I changed the state to WFH

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

use the state as it appears in the entities states

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

Yeah that's sorted now

#

but no images still

#

could it be an SSL issue?

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

do the files have the right permissions/owner?

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

and in the right path?

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

files are in: \ipaddress\config\www and I can reach them by going to https://domain.duckdns.org/local/home.png

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

I think I remember you having to have a default image

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

run ls -la in the www directory and check the owner

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:42 PM

#

try this:

- type: picture-entity
  entity: sensor.house_mode
  image: /local/home.png

#

just to be sure

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

hmmmmmmmmmm

#

that worked

#

so not a permissions issue

#

I seem to be matching the example on the code though:

#

- type: picture-entity
  entity: light.bed_light
  state_image:
    "on": /local/bed_light_on.png
    "off": /local/bed_light_off.png

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

put the image back in there

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

Are the states lower case?

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

i think it needs a default

#

@wheat current probably wrote the docs if the example is wrong 😝

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

@mild veldt no....default is not required

#

I have ```
- type: picture-entity
entity: device_tracker.pi_alokphone
show_name: false
show_state: false
state_image:
"home": /local/icons/alok_owntracks_home.png
"not_home": /local/icons/alok_owntracks_not_home.png
"Buckhead": /local/icons/alok_owntracks_not_home.png
"Downtown": /local/icons/alok_owntracks_not_home.png

#

and it works perfectly

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

🤷

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

I tried with a default and that shows but it doesn't change with states

#

yes, everything is lowercase

#

oh wait

raven nacelle Aug 22, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

check if it is the same in the states tab states

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

in the lovelace code it is, 1 second

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

ll config does not count

#

It has to match states

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:48 PM

#

okay, yeah, that fixed it...

#

so used to doing the code all in lower case!

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:49 PM

#

states is your friend in lovelace. never forget your friends 😃

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:49 PM

#

haha, rookie mistake!

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:50 PM

#

good. now just never make any more mistakes, ever again, and you'll be set

#

😂

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:50 PM

#

I'm not as worried about having images on the dash, but it definitely makes it more appealing for the non technical user

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:51 PM

#

my motivation for ll is probably 90% for my family/guest's use

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

I have acquired a 19" touchscreen monitor and I've been trying to think of a use for it...

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

19"! nice

#

that's probably what i'll need as well

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

yeah it's a bit over the top

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

Coaster for the coffee table 👌

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

heck, i'm going to get a 32 50 100" touch screen

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:53 PM

#

going to make a wooden frame and stand for it, and then power it with a Pi and then have it as a main console running lovelace

#

another thing for my wife to say "and why do we need that?" about!

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:54 PM

#

and why do you need that?

#

😃

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:55 PM

#

why DON'T I need that?

#

checkmate

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 1:55 PM

#

Tell her that 😂

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:55 PM

#

There's no way she'll see through that bulletproof logic...

#

The key for selling HA/Smart Home to anyone is to make their lives easier

#

That's the actual key

#

So getting ll up and running on your 19" with something actually relevant to your users will sell it quick

storm lion Aug 22, 2018, 1:57 PM

#

^ its difficult for someone to reject you making there life easier

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 1:57 PM

#

Easy? You know how many hours/days/weeks i have used om this? And the result... 1 active automation that send me a push notification when there is a new HA version 😂

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

One of the reasons I'm making separate views for separate users. For my wife to bring up a view that shows her calendar, her upcoming tv shows, he todo list, etc. An true intuitive dashboard with controls for the whole house is the end goal...the dream

#

And if I'm lucky, I'll have it ready in 3 years

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 1:59 PM

#

I am setting it up so that 99% of it's use is all automatic

#

the screen is just a plaything really

#

it's already automating the lights in every room based on time of day and motion, and my wife does like that a lot

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:02 PM

#

just gotta make sure it always works 😃

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 2:02 PM

#

Anyway, I'd better do some work, these IT solution proposals won't review themselves (can I get HAss to do that..?)

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:02 PM

#

one of the reasons I've moved away from zigbee lights and now putting in zwave switches. too many failures points with zigbee lights

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

I have Hue for my lights and a smartthings hub running Xiaomi motion sensors

#

been completely solid so far

#

the Xiaomi sensors are 10x more reliable than the smartthings ones, and a 5th of the price

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

had hue. was not a fan. after a power outage I would have to reset half of them. which is not fun when you have 6 in your living room's vaulted ceiling, 15' up

#

anyways, off topic now

night patrol Aug 22, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

oh wow really?! I've never had anything like that in the 2 years I've used it.

#

Yep!

#

Work now. Thanks everyone!

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

I have a lovelace question... has anyone tried the alarm control panel?

#

I was thinking of implementing an alarm, haven't done it yet

#

But the card doesnt show anything

#

just a blank space

#

am I missing a prereq?

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

possibly, do you have the alarm component setup?

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

The custom card?
if yes, then yes

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/alarm_control_panel.manual/

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

done that

#

I have the following in my configuration file

#

  - platform: manual
    name: Home Alarm
    code: 1234
    pending_time: 30
    delay_time: 20
    trigger_time: 4
    disarmed:
      trigger_time: 0
    armed_home:
      pending_time: 0
      delay_time: 0```

#

alarm_control_panel.ha_alarm disarmed code_format: null
changed_by: null
friendly_name: HA Alarm

#

so I get an entity

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

well is your problem that the component doesn't show on the old ui or in lovelace?

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

although nothing on the front page

#

both

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

that's a #330944238910963714 question

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:12 PM

#

I'll more it to there

#

thanks

#

ah.. I worked out how to get the old one up

#

still no love with lovelace though

#

just a blank card

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

Is my alarm supposed to be called something specific for this card to work?

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm HAS to match the entity_id you find in states

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

ah.. That's what I'm missing. I thought that had to refer to something specific in the .js resource

#

Still learning this stuff

#

Thanks for the help

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:22 PM

#

panel: true

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

sorry, not sure why comment got deleted. Where do I put that?

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

in the view

#

no wait... sorry..

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

That makes it only show the first card

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

if you do that it only show 1 card

#

So add a vertical-stack as the first card, and your cards ~~under~~ in that

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

I'll start googling that one. thanks for the pointers

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

No need for google

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

@wheat current we should make a page on .sharethelove that gives a run down of using horizontal-stacks within a single vertical-stack panel

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

just check the Lovelace docs

#

@mild veldt You do that 🎉
We all agree that my writing sucks! 😄

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

lmao. I'll write something up tonight

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/tips/#header-using-panel-and-stacks This also exsist

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

That would be amazing, I'm just trying to understand how to format this

#

I need to write some guides as I learn, so people getting stuck on the same things might understand

#

Formatting YAML is all new to me

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

nice. i'll put that into the mental cache to point people to

#

@daring schooner would recommend an IDE that supports yaml

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

It is better to contribute to the official docs than to have 10000 different guides

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

Notepad++

#

now it's just splitting it up into different views entirely

#

https://pastebin.com/2M7SDy1U

#

where am I going wrong?

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

That seems correct if you wanted 2 views

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

I just want one view with 3 columns

#

I'm obviously splitting it in the wrong place

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

try this https://hastebin.com/oqefeguhav.bash

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

Now that just made things really weird

#

Some of the cards just went super tiny

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

https://hastebin.com/cunetereca.bash

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:38 PM

Like it's still trying to fit them in the same horizonal space.. instead of filling the screen

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:38 PM

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:39 PM

What line should I put that on?

#

If I put it between 8 and 9 it only shows the first horizontal stack

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

use the last link I gave you

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

still same though

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

yup

#

prove it

daring schooner Aug 22, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

oh.. shit.. missed that

#

sorry

#

oh.. that's amazing

#

Thanks for your help... I'm going to go away and try to understand why that worked

subtle rune Aug 22, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

Panel with vertical stack and horizontal stack works shit on mobile though, at least with my setup

#

The "columns" become so narrow

grim light Aug 22, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

Is there any way to center the title text on a card?

#

Or is it hardcoded to be left aligned?

wheat current Aug 22, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

AFAIK that is hardcoded, but you can get "cernter-ish"

#

title: " Entities card sample"

#

it is not spaces it is (ALT+255)

grim light Aug 22, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

Ah, I had tried spaces

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

hehe

mild veldt Aug 22, 2018, 5:00 PM

#

@subtle rune I implemented toggles to dictate the number of columns per horizontal stack

#

so I have a vertical stack with 4 conditional cards, and they are all pretty much the same except for the make up of the horizontal stacks and then have some automations so that when I select input_boolean.show_one_column it sets all other input_booleans to off

#

it's pretty slick. but would not recommend doing if you have cameras as you background. it can be pretty slow to reload the camera resources in that case

buoyant skiff Aug 22, 2018, 5:05 PM

it will just be how you format the data

Shows the timers but also the idle one's

Goal is to only show the timer card when a timer is running and only show that timer

#

thought it should be possible with the monstercard (same way dealing with domain media player for example)

#

it is, and it works for me, but conditional card is ~~better~~ easier for that

#

Maybe something is hanging in the cache, will try to clear that and otherwise use the conditional card

thanks!
