but feel free to give me input if there is anything missing since im not designing this for myself totally 😄

storm lion Aug 31, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

certainly looks it - although you keep making the thing bigger - my little fire 7 wont be able to handle much more without it being unreadable!

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

what the resolution on it ?

storm lion Aug 31, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

like 10 pixels by 6

#

1024 × 600

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

kewl gonna try it in that res

storm lion Aug 31, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

thanks buddy

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

np

#

happy to try my stuff 😄

#

see how it works and what doesnt work although i havent come across something off yet

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 2:50 PM

Hi guys, I would like to add "state-icon" element on "picture-elements" but with another icon, how can I change it?
I tried to use "icon" but then I cannot change color if the light is on or off

mild veldt Aug 31, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

@normal nexus use light groups. https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.group/

grim light Aug 31, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

That is gorgeous @buoyant skiff

#

And I agree with the others. Good job on keeping it minimal and uncluttered

mild veldt Aug 31, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

@gilded plume most people will put a vertical or horizontal stack within a conditional to get more out of one. That combined with panel true and you can really dictate your views

gilded plume Aug 31, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

Hmm that's indeed how i order my view but conditional is hard when you have more then one user that you want home/not home to show for example travel time to home (only when state_not home)

#

and when being home at workdays travel time to work (but maybe gf is then already at work so shows travel time to home 😛 )

normal nexus Aug 31, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

@mild veldt - they are switches, not lights

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

same thing easily grouped

normal nexus Aug 31, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

i had setup the legacy UI with the 2 switches in one group, with view: no - and then added that group to my main page, so i just had 1 button to turn them both on/poff

#

hmmmm so i can still make a light group out of switches?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

yes if you have the old template for it then yes

normal nexus Aug 31, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

what do you mean old template?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

light tmplate or simular

normal nexus Aug 31, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

kitchen_lights:
name: Kitchen Lights
view: no
entities:
- switch.kitchen_cabinet_lights_1
- switch.kitchen_cabinet_lights_2

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

or you can make a script for it

#

load of ways to do that

#

more suited to get a light template or a script help in #330944238910963714 however

#

😃

normal nexus Aug 31, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

yeah i can't add the switches to a light group

#

gives me an error that they dont belong to domain "light"

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

then you have to do a light template

Good Day Everyone. Does anyone if there is a way to reduce the size of the image when using "type: picture-glance" and are using a camera as the image background? If it is possible, what is the syntax? TIA

raven nacelle Aug 31, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

@plain torrent See https://www.home-assistant.io/components/camera.proxy/

plain torrent Aug 31, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

@raven nacelle - I tried that and it did not help... The image still larger that I would like.

tender wasp Aug 31, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

@plain torrent Do you want it to be lower resolution? Or smaller width/height on screen?

plain torrent Aug 31, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

Smaller width/height on the screen

tender wasp Aug 31, 2018, 4:26 PM

#

That's not how picture-glance works. The image always takes up the full width of the card

plain torrent Aug 31, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

Thank you, the explains why I can't resize it..

valid thorn Aug 31, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

so I'm having some issues with some basic lovelace cards. Options like show_name, show_state, and tap_action seem to have zero affect on my lovelace interface.

mild veldt Aug 31, 2018, 6:08 PM

#

@valid thorn that's a very broad set of 'issues'. Some insight into how you're using them and with what would be beneficial. Post some configs on hastebin

valid thorn Aug 31, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

https://pastebin.com/0rHHLKdn

#

there's an example, copied pretty closely from somone else. Thank you for your help!

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

and boom now we have moon state too 😄 so at daytime its a sun with the amount of hours and at night we get the moon and what state is in 😄

📎 unknown.png

#

all with animated icons

valid thorn Aug 31, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

@buoyant skiff that's amazing

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

@halcyon mantle This should work with images now, and (kinda sorta) with ios somewhat... https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-long-press

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:25 PM

#

wonder if i should switch the arrows and times for the moon

#

that would make sense 😛

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

Why is the lit part of the moon darker?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

yeah good point

#

must have fudged the colors when i made the icons

#

easy to fix later on

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

@polar kelp Awesome! Thx a million - I'll let you know if I find any bugs...

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

Also, arrows to the right fits better with the units on the numbers above

#

Oh, you will...

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

could use transparent color for the dark part

#

that might look good

raven nacelle Aug 31, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

is it the moon rise/set time?

#

or the sun?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

sun

#

figure i revese when the sun goes down

#

havent gotten that far just made the jinja part for what state the moon is in and that the icon switches from sun to moon

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

Speaking of sunrise indicators, there's always this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-4YxzTx3_Q

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

whats next linus på linjen ? 😛

#

actually @polar kelp that is the correct for waning

#

it is correctly lit

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

is it mirrored though?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

yes it is

#

📎 unknown.png

#

so that was kinda simple to do

#

         {% if is_state("sun.sun", "above_horizon") -%}
          ↑ {{ as_timestamp(states.sun.sun.attributes.next_rising) | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}
         {%- else -%}
          ↑ {{ as_timestamp(states.sun.sun.attributes.next_setting) | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}
         {% endif %}

#

icon is an easy thing to fix later on 😃

#

but its nice with the switching back and forth from day to night etc

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

@polar kelp I updated the script - It works on PC, IOS in chrome, but not in the app with an image

#

Not sure how to clean the cache of the IOS app, but I did close it and force a refresh

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

It works in the app for me.

#

Best way to refresh the cache for the app is to add a ?v= counter to the end of the script url

#

or just ?anythingreally

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

The ?v=2 and a force refresh did the trick...

#

Thx a million again - It is awesome!

#

Are you planning on maturing the js script to add an option to choose the long-press action? e.g navigate ?

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

possibly

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

that is something i could have use for

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

Feel free to write an issue on github to aid my memory.

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

It is already a HUGE improvement for my use case

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

what are you using it for?

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 6:55 PM

#

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-long-press/issues/1 <-- Done

#

@weak gust I have a 3d render of my floorplan with lights mapped over, if you tap the room the light switches on, now if you long press you can dim them without navigating to another page or card

#

https://imgur.com/a/zvGKpwe

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

that's cool

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

Thx! This is an example with a few lights on https://imgur.com/a/i9jcFr7

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

how often do you find yourself actually using it though? I thought about doing something like that but it doesn't seem too practical for me

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

that floor plan is nice

#

feel free to pr that to sharethelove if you want to 😃

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

My lights are set to follow me through the house after dark, and if I want specific lights on its either the interface or voice

#

@buoyant skiff - no Idea how to do that, but more than willing... I also believe I got the inspiration on there 😉

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

ever used github ?

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

Never uploaded code, only discussion and download

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

how do you handle making it follow you? motion or some kind of room presence?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

can see if i can do a little tl:dr

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

@weak gust PIR, bluetooth and logic to process false positives

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

PIR?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

a sensor

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

ah

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

Passive Infrared

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

quite effective

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

so motion

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

yess

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

so it doesn't follow you :D still looking for tracking specific people

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

what application did u use for the floorplan ?

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

seems nothing great exists for that yet

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

@weak gust nothing big is great from the start it takes time and dedication

valid thorn Aug 31, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

I'm having trouble with simple lovelace cards options like show_state, show_name, column_width, and tap_action seem to do nothing at all. I'm at a loss here. Does anyone have any insight as to why these don't work for me? Here are two examples. https://pastebin.com/3gRagSk7

Is there a howto to contribute to sharethelove?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:09 PM

#

think me and Ludeeus put up something small

#

not that detailed

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:09 PM

#

This was where I got my inspiration <-- https://sharethelove.io/picture-elements-cards/3d-floorplan

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:10 PM

#

yeah on the intropage

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:10 PM

#

So there is an example

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:10 PM

#

not really just the gist of it

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:10 PM

#

oh yeah @buoyant skiff, I was mostly talking about hardware. options are usually between motion, wearing an iBeacon/some other BLE tracking, or xandem, which can't track user but is very good for presence detection

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

need to do a more complete version for users that havent done that much on github

#

anyything apple related and im out 😛

#

haha

#

allergic to apple 😛

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

well ibeacon is just a protocol

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

i know what it is 😛

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

eddystone if it makes you feel better

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

I'll go check out the welcome page...

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

PIR is actually good

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:12 PM

#

I'm looking at ibeacon for a room level presence sensing

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:12 PM

#

if used right

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:12 PM

#

Occupancy is nice to know, but presence will be kick ass

#

I have tested the radar sensor too, still want to add a POT to them as they were too sensitive too wide

#

picked me up in the room next to it..

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

lol

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

@valid thorn Can't imagine that's the problem, but it should be column_width...

#

Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with that snippet

valid thorn Aug 31, 2018, 7:14 PM

#

@polar kelp unfortunately i just added that back in and typoed it then, even spelled correctly it has no affect 😦

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

Looking at Ben's all in one sensor, and replacing the PIR with the radar if I can tone it down as I can then hide the sensor in the room and still detect occupancy

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

I think the challenge with PIR is what happens in the case of someone sitting still for too long. I guess there may be other tricks to tell who is in the room and combine that

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:16 PM

#

combo with bluetooth it should be just fine

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:16 PM

#

The radar is VERY sensitive - you will have to sit extremely still for it not to pick you up, and as mentioned couple it with additional info

valid thorn Aug 31, 2018, 7:17 PM

#

@weak gust I used motion sensors and the bayesian sensor so that things like lights and media players in the room help determine presence

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:17 PM

#

anyways we are kinda offtopic 😃

weak gust Aug 31, 2018, 7:17 PM

#

yes, sorry

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:17 PM

#

just a tad.. 😂

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:17 PM

#

naa its ok just saying before any of the mods slaps us 😛

#

@empty heath just logged on 😛

steel dune Aug 31, 2018, 7:18 PM

#

Hi, All. I thought I'd join in on this one. I've got a DIY sensor array and the PIR Is ugly on it. RADAR sounds interesting, and sitting for too long it also something I have considered, I was looking at a delay of 10 mins after last movement and then possibly a dim or flash of the light sso that I can be reminded to wave my hand

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:19 PM

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

Took longer to figure out the correct coordinates for the images on the picture element card than what it took drawing

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

yeah not always where you want it to be

#

and if you forgot to set transform: none and use some other computer with a diffrent res

#

that your in for some additional issues with stuff breaking

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

The biggest challenge is to get the walls and overlays to line up nicely...

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

and use px or em to place out the images

#

never %

#

px is good for nitpicking

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

I used % couldn't find docs on the px option, and my css is knowledge is very limited - so I struggled through. e.g style: top: 57.2% left: 90.3% width: 14.8%

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

transform: none to styling

#

and instead of % use em etc

#

will have to realign eveyrthing

#

but it will stick better then %

#

if you open that floorplan up on other devices

#

i only use % if i want to center something

#

then you can do bottom:

#

and right:

#

too

#

😃

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

So far it hasn't let me down, iphone chrome & app, work computer, laptop and Windows VM all aligned correctly

#

Guess I'm lucky

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

good 😄

#

but are you using panel: true ?

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

I'll add the rework to px / em on the next iteration..

#

Nope, straight picture element card, had an entities card follow it for the lights which I can now remove

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:37 PM

#

ahh ok 😃

#

that explains why its sticking together 😄

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

Wait, what, if I remove the entities card will it break the current layout?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

probly if its just an entity and not elements

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

Hmmm.. lets find out...

#

Removed everything as a test except for the floorplan and its fine on app & laptop...

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

neat

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

I'm relieved - otherwise it would have been another late night...

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

you do have backup running right ?

#

i do daily backup and instant backup on my config

#

so if i do mess up i can always just revert

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Can I set a picture-element in 2 or 3 columns?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

yep

#

huge or small colums ?

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Yes - I run rsnapshot, and rsync (own script) - That goes to my NAS, my NAS encrypts the backup and uploads to Google Drive - This happens daily @ 01:00

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

@buoyant skiff what do you mean?

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Off topic again, but still looking for a rpi-clone type backup but to image not physical device

#

@tough knoll - panel:true

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

2 large colums

📎 unknown.png

#

that is panel: true

#

then you have to setup horizontal-stack

#

and then do your picture element cards inside the stack

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

I would like to have a big card in 3 columns and all the others small (like always)

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

panel: true then horizontal-stack & vertical stack inside - Going to take a bit of planning to get it right but its possible

#

I saw an example on one of the lovelace example sites - can't recall which one though

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

is it the only way to have this result?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

if you want the really large cards

#

your limted to the normal size cards else

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

the problem is that there is the same layout with little screen and big screen if I use "panel:true"

#

I just want that with big screen a card is in 2/3 columns

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

then just use the normal view and do horizontal and vertial stacks

#

should be just fine

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

then my cards will be horizontal stacked in mobile views too?

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

yeah

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

that's the problem 🙁

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

mobile is a problem

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

workaround: create a mobile view and a desktop/tablet view

buoyant skiff Aug 31, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

yeah

#

thats what i was gonna say

#

and then use marius script for setting home for devices

#

so that mobile gets redirected to mobile

#

and desktop/tablet get directed to normal view

tough knoll Aug 31, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

that's cool, where can I get this script?

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

That’s what column-card is for

#

To get a layout with columns that adjust to mobile view when using panel:true

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 8:35 PM

#

@polar kelp I fully deployed your js script now and so far so good, I do pick up on the IOS app you have to slide your finger off after long press that the more info stays open

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 8:35 PM

#

Yeah... that’s unfortunate

#

Glad you like it

halcyon mantle Aug 31, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

Thx! I was running in circles trying to figure out how I would get around not having it. Reason I asked for the tap-action option, is when I add more entities to my floorplan it will get difficult to tap the correct one so long-press will navigate to a zoomed view of the room where long-press will give more-info on a entity

polar kelp Aug 31, 2018, 8:40 PM

#

Don’t forget about groups too. If you make the image open more-info about a group, you can keep more stuff in there

My approach on love lace is to try and keep it all on picture elements, and try and steer clear of traditional "switches/toggles"

#

Ideal will be to be able to tap hold and slide up and down to dim and bright without seeing a slider - but that is wishful thinking

#

Same idea on a air conditioner for temperature up an down, blinds, garage door - basically anything that can be adjusted 😋

Anyone know how to style the text of state-label? I want to do white text with a black stroke to ensure it readable against the background always

yepp

              -webkit-text-stroke: 0.1px rgb(7, 9, 9, 0.8)

that is an outline @halcyon mantle

i found this combo effective

              -webkit-text-stroke: 0.1px rgb(7, 9, 9, 0.8)

Thx! I tried-webkit-text-stroke and text-shadow before, but didnt see the effect, but in all honestly my code was waaaaaay longer - used a web generator for it.

@foggy tendon do it show up if you spesify just 1 entity and not *?
and edit your post to mask your DNS name 😉

Seems from the code you cant wildcard match entities, only attributes.

You can get wat you want with the monster-card

you may need to set it to 101 if that is possible

isnt it better to have a simple state label if your gonna look for batteries under 100% ?

i would have got it if it was 10% or something but 100%

Will update notifications on new HA versions arrive in the new notification stream?

split granite Sep 1, 2018, 3:25 PM

That's for persistent notifications (I think), and not Lovelace specific, so only if you set up an update notification to generate a persistent notification

Aha ok. Was thinkin about setting up a conditional updater card in lovelace.. but i'm not sure how to trigger it..

like state: True or "on"

but what is the state of updater.. when an update is available

Does anyone have an example https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/glance/ card that uses the service and service data? I can't work out how it should look.

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 4:50 PM

I guess you can't specify a brightness for the on and then just have it turn off

#

    cards:
      - type: glance
        title:
        entities:
          - entity: light.shave_den_sink
            icon: mdi:power

            tap_action: call-service
            service: light.toggle
            service_data:
              entity_id: light.shave_den_sink
              brightness: '10'
              color_temp: '450'

#

is there a way to make it set the light and then turn it off when you tap again?

polar kelp Sep 1, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

I thing options only work with light.turn_on, but you can practice at /dev_service or whatever it’s called.

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

nm I got it, woohoo

#

for anyone who cares:

#

    cards:

          - entity: light.shave_den_sink
            icon: mdi:power
            name: Bathroom Light
            tap_action: toggle
            service: light.turn_on
            service_data:

              brightness: '200'
              color_temp: '450'

#

turns light off, and turns light on with --- whatever you specify

#

I wanted to do this to make sure the light comes on the setting I like regardless of what it was before, because i'm making a view that is easier to turn lights on and off instead of trying to press the little switches all small and close together on my phone lol

polar kelp Sep 1, 2018, 4:54 PM

Are you sure? It shouldn’t call a service if you don’t have tap_actuon: call-service, should it?

can I make it turn on with specific settings and then turn off

Add your sequence to a script and call that script with the UI.

#

Don't try to do backend operations with frontend 😛

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 5:00 PM

#

with a state condition?

#

no wait

polar kelp Sep 1, 2018, 5:00 PM

Or a service template

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 5:02 PM

hmm that could work

You can also use conditions in scripts, but that is off-topic for this channel 😃

I was thinking that

#

now to decide if I care that much lol one thing that is annoying is the glace card cuts off letters of the entity name

here's one for ya, is there a way to make the lightbulb icon light up when you turn the light on and go back when it's off

buoyant skiff Sep 1, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

yeah

#

it should be default if the device_class is light

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

ahh, I didn't need to specify an icon, ha

mild veldt Sep 1, 2018, 5:30 PM

#

Yeah if you override the icon in LL it does not respect the state for color. I think that’s a bug

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 5:30 PM

#

I was gonna say if you run a script, and change the icon to a bulb, can you make it light up the bulb when the script is running, etc.

mild veldt Sep 1, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

I don’t think there’s a state of “running” with scripts, is there?

#

I may be wrong

odd light Sep 1, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

hmmm, not sure

polar kelp Sep 1, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

I think there is if the script has a delay of some kind, but I can’t check it now, and also: not #frontend-archived

how can i have lovelace change icon of an entity based on state? I made this in the template dev thing and it returns the right icons based on state - not sure how to apply it to the lovelace entity -

{% if is_state("switch.garage_door", "off") %}mdi:garage{% else %}mdi:garage-open{% endif %}

#

this works fine but the icon is static -

      - type: entities
        title: Doors
        show_header_toggle: false
        entities:
          - entity: switch.garage_door

buoyant skiff Sep 1, 2018, 9:58 PM

does the icon work in the sensor ?

#

if it does it should work just fine in lovelace

#

if you check under dev-info

vapid field Sep 1, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

umm, well its not a sensor

#

its a command_line switch

#

if i use a template switch i can use icon_template

@polar kelp - Found a minor bug with the long-press - it seems to still work while the more info dialogue is open, so tapping on the white space on that screen toggles the states of the entities behind them

@desert reef also it's weather.dark_sky not weather.darksky

svg is good for animations etc

with png you can define it a bit better

but with PNG it would be a static size?

while svg has no defined size

#

here is a good tip when setting stuff in place that i had alot of use for so it doesnt break under various resolutions

#

use transform: none

#

and only use % if you want to center something

#

use px or em or any other measurement to get it into plae

#

place*

#

that way it doesnt break and it looks the same on any other res

#

that way you can tighten up the buttons

#

so that the look more grid like

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

oh interesting, so under style for each card use transforn: non?

#

Yeah it kinda got blown up when I started messing with the background

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

under each button yes

#

then you can set towards the bleeding edge

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

I realized it wasn't sized correctly and it screwed up my alignment when I changed it

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

if you use 0

#

also

#

panel: yes <-- ?

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

erhh I thought that is how you make full screen?

#

otherwise it's super small

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

panel: true

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

and not scaled

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

false or true 😄

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

lol

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

but if yes works then ok but its not correct according to documentation

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

yes appeared to have worked haha

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

wonder if it works with anything else then false so any added value makes it go big

#

but true is the correct term 😃

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

interesting, that fixed my scroll bar.....

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

awesome

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:06 AM

that's crazy, now my background is too small so I need to resize, getting white

do you have an example of the transform: none and using % to center?

check that for refernace

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

not sure I follow

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:06 AM

on what i just explained

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

oh does the kodiremote show how to align stuff better?

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

yes

#

check the lovelace part

#

z-index is only used for layering so ignore that if your layout is flat

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:08 AM

ah ok this makes alot of sense

I was doing this pretty poorly

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:08 AM

that's really cool

clearly I need to put some more work into this

the fact that I can't even get a background to show cleanly is ridiculous

azure scarab Sep 2, 2018, 8:29 AM

dang even if i get this sized correctly, it doesn't seem like it's going to be very dynamic across other devices

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

all depends on the layout

#

phones are the worst

#

thats why i opted for tablet layout

wheat current Sep 2, 2018, 8:35 AM

#

You can also append ?v=1 at the end of the file name and increase that in the config after each change, if you do that F5 is enough

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 8:36 AM

also a way to trick the browser 😃

Does anyone know if you can put temp sensor readings up in the title section? I want it to read out "Master Bedroom - 23C" for the title and have it change with the sensor

#

or on the picture cards, show the value of the sensor instead of having to click it

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

elements and build it

#

then you can do it

#

to make the "title" use custom useful markdown card

#

or a state-label

prime umbra Sep 2, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

@buoyant skiff your greeter cards are getting better and better 😃
i wasn't able to get the custom:useful-markdown-card to work with templates info
for example something like

greeter_card_test:
        value_template: 
            Tomorrow is {{ states.weather.faro.attributes.forecast[1]['condition']}} with temperatures ranging from {{ states.weather.faro.attributes.forecast[1]['templow'] | int}}℃. to {{ states.weather.faro.attributes.forecast[1]['temperature'] | int}}℃.

would love to see how you combining everything with the custom:useful-markdown-card

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

sigh

#

thats all wrong

#

you cant template

#

and its [[]] not {{ }}

#

read the documentation for that card

raw beacon Sep 2, 2018, 12:56 PM

#

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but in the old UI, if I had a group card, I could click on the title and control the settings for all the entities in that group (provided they are of the same type) like for example group.room_lights, clicking on the title would let me change the color of all the lights in that group.

How do I achieve the same thing in LoveLace?

fathom tree Sep 2, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

for "state-image" can we use > or < ? So if the temp is over 80 it shows one image, if it is less than 70 it shows a different image.

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

for which type of card ?

#

simple picture entity ?

fathom tree Sep 2, 2018, 4:00 PM

#

I'm hoping to put in on a picture element card.

#

temp above x shows x.png, temp below y shows y.png That kinda thing

#

so it's not a fixed state like on or off. I could do it with a boolean that turns on when temp >x etc, then set the state-image to the on/off state of the boolean. But that's an extra step it would be nice to not have to do.

Trying to make a Lovelace page for our little maker faire quest with the wand and dragon

#

need the gauge or state-image to give the players a visual cue that they are doing the right thing to open the box.

#

for some reason my custom cards aren't being recognized. I've got the .js files in the www folder, and I've got the custom cards I want listed as "resources" in the .yaml... but I'm getting the "custom-element does not exist" message.

#

I must have missed something...

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

@fathom tree thats easy

#

just template it in a sensor

#

so if 80< show image blah if >80 show picture yada

#

atleast i think it would work 😛

#

beeen doing most of my stuff via templating so far

#

does the image have to cover 100% ?

fathom tree Sep 2, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

no, it's a small image.

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

icon size ?

fathom tree Sep 2, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

little bigger.

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

you can use useful mardown card and then define the size of the image

#

after you templated the entity_picture_template

fathom tree Sep 2, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

is there a way to put the template in the lovelace yaml or would it be in the config to set the state?

#

oooh, entity_picture_template. didn't know that was a thing.

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

no templating inside lovelace all handled by backend

#

so make a template sensor

#

do a value_template and then a entity_picture_template for the template sensor

#

that changes images

fathom tree Sep 2, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

cool

buoyant skiff Sep 2, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

      greeter_weather_information_sunrise:

           /local/icons/animated/greeter_card/sunrise.svg
          {% else %}
           {% set state = states.sensor.moon.state %}
           {% set path = "/local/icons/animated/greeter_card/" %}
           {{ path }}{{ state }}.svg
          {% endif %}

#

kinda like that 😄

#

so that makes my icon switch from day and night to sunrise info to moon state info

#

hope that helps you get somewhere with your project 😃

What's the recommended way to debug layout issues in Lovelace custom cards? I'm trying to make changes to my weather card, and poking at it using Firefox's Inspector, but the card keeps reloading and kicking me off of the element I was looking at.

mossy otter Sep 2, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

in lovelace is there a way to hide the "views" menu at the top? or at least to set visibility: false to a view? My intent is to rely on mini images of each room that you click on to take you to the appropriate view. I could do this anyway but would rather do this and do away with the top views menu also

wheat current Sep 2, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

@glossy yoke there are probably better ways, but I load the page, then shut down homeassistant to work on them. 😜

glossy yoke Sep 2, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

@wheat current That can't be the right answer, but it's so brilliantly simple. 😃

polar kelp Sep 2, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

In chrome at least, you can pause JavaScript execution from the dev console. That will stop updates

#

@mossy otter google “lovelace kiosk”. It willbring you to a js gist that you load and any url containing “kiosk” will hide the header.

mossy otter Sep 2, 2018, 8:02 PM

I'm struggling to figure out the syntax to get a template to render in the useful-markdown card - Anyone have an example? It just renders as undefined

drifting cove Sep 3, 2018, 1:08 AM

#

Anyone know the necessary CSS to put in the style section of a state-label to change the justification of the label? (The position seems to be center of label which makes left and right of text change as length of data changes. I'm trying to align a bunch of labels.)

tender wasp Sep 3, 2018, 1:17 AM

#

@drifting cove Text should be aligned to the right by default. I think the issue you have is that each element has transform: translate(-50%, -50%) so your positioning is based on the center point of the element instead of the top left. Try transform: translate(0)

drifting cove Sep 3, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

@tender wasp Thanks. Can you explain that transform tag a bit so I can understand how to modify it?

tender wasp Sep 3, 2018, 1:24 AM

#

Basically, it moves the element by the specified amount after it is positioned. So translate(-50%, -50%) moves the element half of its width to the left, and half of its height up. This was done so that if you position an element at top: 50% left: 50% the center point of the element is in the center of the card, otherwise the top left corner of the element would be in the center of the card

#

You can also use transform to rotate, scale, etc. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform

drifting cove Sep 3, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

Awesome help. Thanks. So I could transform( 0, -50% ) to left justiry but keep vertically centered?

tender wasp Sep 3, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

Yep you got it. And if you want to right align use transform(-100%, -50%)

drifting cove Sep 3, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

Perfect. Thanks.

@polar kelp Hi, I currently have this - I started with the standard curly brackets, and from the readme.md on github I seems that I must replace them with '[]'```
- type: custom:useful-markdown-card
content: >
## Stats

      All entities: [[states | count]]
      All automations: [[states.automation | count]]
      [%- for domain in states | map(attribute='domain') |list | unique | list -%]
      [[ domain | title }}: [[ states[domain] | count ]] 
      [% endfor -%]

polar kelp Sep 3, 2018, 6:12 AM

#

Ok. Useful-markdown-card has a very very limited form of "templating". The ONLY thing it can do is print the values in the state variable.

#

So no filters ( | count), no looping ({% for), no branching ({% if), no indexing (states[domain]).

#

The only thing you can do is get the state or attribute of a single entity. If you want anything else, I recommend going through a template sensor.

#

Also, notice that in the sample on github, there's no state..

halcyon mantle Sep 3, 2018, 6:18 AM

#

Cool! Will rethink this approach using sensors

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 6:18 AM

You could use the kiosk-mode thing and only allow navigation between certain views using picture and navigation_path.

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

and you can use home-setter to define which unit goes where 😄

polar kelp Sep 3, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

Or you can do it the hard way and create a custom panel starting from this: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/tree/master/src/panels/lovelace

Does lovelace support color picking for my lights? It seems it's not working out of the box

#

Not sure if it's by-design or I am just being dumb ;p

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 12:46 PM

#

not sure what brand your lights are even so begin with that

#

and if its like hue or some other equal brand its handled by backend

swift ferry Sep 3, 2018, 12:47 PM

#

It's Hue and I get the color picker on the 'old' UI

#

I am using the entities card for the switches

#

But if they are implemented somewhere in Lovelace then I know I can fiddle some more 😃

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 12:49 PM

#

so if you do a simple entity and add the lights does the color picker show ?

swift ferry Sep 3, 2018, 12:50 PM

#

What do you mean with a simple entity?

#

Like on the old UI or is that another lovelace card?

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 12:51 PM

#

do you got ui-lovelace.yaml setup ?

swift ferry Sep 3, 2018, 12:52 PM

#

Yes

#

views:

icon: mdi:home-assistant
title: Home
cards:
- type: entities
  title: Living room
  entities:
  - entity: light.couch
    name: Couch Backlight

#

Completely basic 😃

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

and the color picker doesnt show on that ?

swift ferry Sep 3, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

Nope, only brightness

#

Omg

or if i should use regular icons for it

polar kelp Sep 3, 2018, 1:57 PM

#

With your random backgrounds, I think this screenshot is a perfect example of why a regular icon is a great idea. The right side of the left chevrons are almost invissible.

#

Especially at a glance

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

reason why the look so bad is because they are animated

#

they are blinking

polar kelp Sep 3, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

Ok. That will help with visibility...

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 1:59 PM

evening all, is anyone experiencing "dead" toggles after 0.77.1? I had a few switches inside glance cards that when clicked they'd expand and you could toggle the switch on/off. now theres no toggle and the gui sort of freezes. i need to reload in order to select another device, say a sensor and get it to expand.

#

found the problem. i still had custom ui enabled and it was breaking the lovelace cards.

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 6:08 PM

That looks like the gitlab logo

buoyant skiff Sep 3, 2018, 6:23 PM

think im gonna use custom markdown so i can scale the icon a bit more

Small question: when loading custom lovelace ui elements you can see a red error for a milisecond

#

Example: https://i.imgur.com/YUP4LC1.png

#

After that the custom element (weather in this case) loads up just fine

#

Is that by design and maybe possible to hide the warning?

#

Also looking sweet Toast!

swift violet Sep 3, 2018, 11:17 PM

#

What's the trick for controlling page layout in lovelace? Is there a way for me to control card size or the number per row / column? I'm find with editing underlying card code if needed

#

nm finally found it in the docs

#

Ok maybe not - Has anyone successfully nested the nest style thermostat component in a vertical stack?

desert reef Sep 3, 2018, 11:42 PM

#

@buoyant skiff, do you have a repository with your personal lovelace config in it?

mild veldt Sep 3, 2018, 11:46 PM

#

@desert reef he does not. Check sharethelove for a small selection

desert reef Sep 3, 2018, 11:46 PM

#

Thanks @mild veldt , I'll check it out.

swift violet Sep 4, 2018, 12:19 AM

#

Ok sorted out the nesting - is there a way to control card size I'm missing?

jaunty narwhal Sep 4, 2018, 1:37 AM

#

is it possible to do an entity-filter for all in a domain? Instead of listing out each entity individually?

#

e.g - if i wanted to have all lights show up in a card that are 'on'

#

ah nevermind, looks like monster card will do it

marble gyro Sep 4, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

Would it be expected behavior that a conditional card still takes up space but is just invisible? On a phone or narrow browser window everything looks normal, but in a browser things are spaced out if the browser is wide enough.

buoyant skiff Sep 4, 2018, 4:07 AM

#

@mild veldt tnx ian for pointing em towards sharethelove 😄

polar kelp Sep 4, 2018, 5:14 AM

#

@swift ferry That’s because most of the interface is generated in the browser. In order to be as fast as possible most cards are shown before any custom javascripts are even loaded, so at that time the system doesn’t know that the custom cards exist.

#

@swift violet the closest you’ll get is using panel: true

swift ferry Sep 4, 2018, 6:05 AM

#

@polar kelp Ah that's what I thought. Thanks. 😃 Is there any way to make lovelace load custom elements first? (Maybe if I add the files to the source?) I can not seem to find the lovelace repo though, which is probably by-design too for now. 😛

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

#

subtle rune Sep 5, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

I can't see an issue in the polymer repo

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

cool raise one 😃

subtle rune Sep 5, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

almost lost all my progress today 😛 my rpi did a random reboot and zeroed out my lovelace file 😛

subtle rune Sep 5, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Noooo

#

That's why github ❤️

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

naa thats what i got a backup system 😄

#

didnt loose shit 😄

#

although i was kinda baffled by the random reboot

polar kelp Sep 5, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

We're all looking forward to seeing it, Toast.

#

It must be an absolute beast.

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

it is

#

so much jinja going on

#

think i found the cause of the reboot

polar kelp Sep 5, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

So it's pretty dependent on lovelace-gen, then?

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

homeassistant has made some zombie progresses

#

seems raspistill is the main cause

#

so wonder how bad the source is for rpi cam in hass

mild veldt Sep 5, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

@buoyant skiff please use the chat for lovelace

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

OK

#

💯

#

@polar kelp havent had time to mess around with lovelace-gen

#

been to busy with work and then when im home im just trying to wrap up the ui

#

but my plan is to circle back to it once im all done and try it out

#

when i got a nice backup incase i mess up

polar kelp Sep 5, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

Ok. I thought you meant there was jinja in the frontend configuration.

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

naa jinja for backend

#

all the sensors with icons and entities

#

backend files are almost as large as the lovelace file

subtle rune Sep 5, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

My Lovelace is super dependent on the gen 😅 not jinja and stuff but more that I couldn't find shit otherwise

buoyant skiff Sep 5, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

hehe

subtle rune Sep 5, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

mild veldt Sep 5, 2018, 7:21 PM

#
