Hope it gets resolved soon

#

I'm using the picture card to show an image file (snapshot from camera) but even though the file is updated the image is never updated. Is there any way to make it check for new file every time ?

timid burrow
#

is there anything in the lovelace docs or an example anywhere showing ho to use the customize.yaml options in the lovelace yaml anywhere?

raven nacelle
#

@timid burrow Customize works like before...there is nothing LL specific there

#

I am using customize and customize_glob with LL

safe rivet
#

hey all, is it possible to control the size of the cards?

timid burrow
#

customize is going in a version very soon and it's functions are going into lovelace. I know it's working for now - I just want to get ahead of the curve and migrate it to lovelace now

raven nacelle
#

once the entity registry is ready....we will move to that

#

we are not there yet

#

@safe rivet No, the size is determined by the number of entities in the card. The width is determined the resolution of the device

safe rivet
#

@raven nacelle Thanks! that's unfortunately, my Windy.com card is very small.

raven nacelle
#

that you can adjust

timid burrow
#

my understanding is that lovelace supports the customize stuff already though... hence I'm looking for an example or a doc explaining it

raven nacelle
#

@safe rivet You can use aspect_ratio: there to change the height

#

@timid burrow GO to Customization under Configuration

#

you have options to change the entity attributes

timid burrow
#

go where?

safe rivet
#

@raven nacelle That worked like a charm! Much better now!

timid burrow
#

where do I find customization under configuration??

#

I don't understand where you are directing me

undone egret
#

~hassbot where is configuration

๐Ÿคฃ

timid burrow
#

i know that customize information can be put in the lovelace yaml file... I would just like to see how to do it.

undone egret
#

nope

lament burrow
#

anyone have an idea why a picture is being flipped when using it in the picture glance card?

#

it's in the correct orientation when I open it in a picture viewer on another device

mild veldt
#

The images are cached unless you use a camera source

polar kelp
#

@lament burrow Some weirdness in the EXIF data I'd assume. How does it look if you open it in your browser?

#

I have a graphical bug with sliders in lovelace. Like input_number. When I drag it, a balloon pops up to show the value, but if the input is in an entities card, the baloon is cut off. Anyone else notice that?

subtle rune
#

Uhm, @buoyant skiff I was getting ready to write the issue for more-info thingy, but first I realized I maybe should see if my custom_ui (Andreys for the old ui) f-d something up. Disabled it and lo and behold! More info seems to be working great now and also the switches are there.

#

So I will hold off on writing an issue

polar kelp
#

Nice!

#

Gave me a bit of hope for my problem, but it turns out I already removed custom_ui ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

subtle rune
#

Aw ๐Ÿ˜ฆ I also updated Chrome at the same time, but I'm 99% percent sure it's the custom ui since it's fixed in the app as well

polar kelp
#

Removing custom_ui is kind of The End of an Era. Like when they stopped flying the concorde. A wonderful thing reduced to a side note in history.

polar kelp
#

Updating to .77 fixed the balloon problem!

buoyant skiff
#

yes

#

0.77.3 has really been stable

clever nexus
#

Hey Guys, anyone able to shed some light no whether a state icon can be resized within a picture-elements card?

buoyant skiff
#

which provider are you using ?

quasi spruce
#

Hello, I'm trying to place a custom card in hass.io. I can't seem to figure out where to actually put it so it loads in the UI, and then reference it in the ui-lovelace.yaml. /local/custom-card.js doesn't work neither does /config/www/custom_ui/custom-card.js, or any of the other structures I've tried. I'm not finding anything helpful on google. Can anyone shed some light on this?

mild veldt
#

your physical path should be /config/www/custom-card.js and in your configuration should be /local/custom-card.js in your above example

quasi spruce
#

thank you

subtle rune
#

@clever nexus Yes it can be resized. I used "--ha-label-badge-font-size: 1em" under style to make it a little bit smaller.

frozen sphinx
#

can the history graph bounds be fixed?

#

fixed as in manually set

buoyant skiff
#

Thomas would it be possible to make that longpress show another entity

#

reason why im asking is that i would love for my greeter card to be able to display when i press on my location tracker the places component that i got

mild veldt
#

or another card?!?

buoyant skiff
#

ian shut up ๐Ÿ˜›

mild veldt
#

no, that would be awesome

buoyant skiff
#

another card is just simple navigate

mild veldt
#

i don't want to navigate. i want a module

buoyant skiff
#

then we are talking about the same thing

mild veldt
#

i know, dork

buoyant skiff
#

i just have this blur filter when you time sometimes (all of the time) ๐Ÿ˜›

#

xD

#

state one entity and link another ๐Ÿ˜ƒ basically

#

so on click the link one shows up but on lovelace the stated one shows

#

that would be a killer card

mild veldt
#

that in itself would be pretty easy for a card, I think
I want to be able to populate the module with my own LL card though. primarily for my remotes. So I can click on my remote icon and have the remote control show up in the module

#

right now, i navigate to it, which i don't like as people forget to navigate back

#

then my "command center" or whatever you want to call it is just displaying a big remote control when I walk by instead of things I care about like cameras and what not

buoyant skiff
#

hehe

frozen sphinx
#

@polar kelp that doesn't define how to set the bounds. I want to fix athe Y axis

polar kelp
#

Then your answer is probably no.

#

It might be possible with card-modder, though... but I havenโ€™t tried.

buoyant skiff
#

hmm would be a cool thing to do

polar kelp
#

Iโ€™ll see if I can find a way after choir tonight.

buoyant skiff
#

tnx ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

polar kelp
#

Idea: long press calls a service that changes a switch, and the new card is displayed using conditional.

mild veldt
#

@polar kelp that's pretty much what I do now. And works 'okay' except for my main page has a lot of camera feeds on it and when you navigate back it takes quite a bit of time to reload those entities

granite prawn
#

is anyone having issues with HASS loaing slowly through nginx?

#

*loading

buoyant skiff
#

not lovelace

granite prawn
#

@buoyant skiff, sorry, my bad

#

thanks though

proud flax
#

@mild veldt thank you !

buoyant skiff
foggy tendon
#

@buoyant skiff I just want to understand to your custom-updater. If i check and there is a new release of a custom card, calling the update service, it will download the latest release and overwrite the old in /www folder?

buoyant skiff
#

its not my custom updater

#

its ludeeus custom updater

#

and yes it does

#

it gets the new version of the card and installs it over the old one

foggy tendon
#

How to use the new notification drawer? Any docs about it?

#

@buoyant skiff Sorry to direct to wrong person... btw, thanks....

fiery temple
#

<config>/ui-lovelace.yaml, cannot find ui-lovelace.yaml in youre config dir

#

must be in www folder instead?

#

www/config/ui-lovelace.yaml?

buoyant skiff
#

no

#

and i suggest re reading the docs

wheat current
#

/config/ui-lovelace.yaml

fiery temple
#

yes i have that

split granite
#

It tells you where your config folder is - don't go randomly adding folders

buoyant skiff
fiery temple
#

ahh <config> is not actual a folder, got it

wheat current
#

Now I just assume everyone run hassio/docker and always say /config ๐Ÿ˜›

split granite
#

Silly you ๐Ÿ˜‰

wheat current
#

Stats man

buoyant skiff
#

root dir of homeassistant is probly better

split granite
#

Yeah, but the tidal wave of noobs shouldn't count ๐Ÿ˜‰

fiery temple
#

i got the love lace page running yeah

buoyant skiff
#

@split granite seen the eye candy i posted

split granite
#

I have

#

As always, you're turning out some pretty nice visuals

buoyant skiff
#

the devil is in the details ๐Ÿ˜›

split granite
#

Yup

fiery temple
#

haha thats what my boss always say

split granite
#

I've spent days fussing over little visual things before

buoyant skiff
#

got tired of my rpi temp sensor so i opted for the filtered sensor to get better trend reading

#

works so much better now ๐Ÿ˜„

fiery temple
#

and tada all works? or.. is that to easy to say that

split granite
#

Or look at the pinned messages for another way - but pretty much

fiery temple
#

i will go the tomas way

#

i need to include all files in main? groups, sensors, secrets, scripts, cameras. and so on?

#

and the main file is in a folder called lovelace so do i need

../cameras.yaml
wheat current
#

That's not how Lovelace works.. have another look at the documentation ๐Ÿ˜‰

buoyant skiff
#

naa its better to just chance on everything

#

then ask why its messed up

#

instead of reading neardy docs

#

even though the channel said too do so

weak gust
#

what if I can't read?

buoyant skiff
#

haha

fiery temple
#

@wheat current i see now the example file

wheat current
#

@weak gust I would say you are lying, since you clearly responded to what @buoyant skiff wrote ๐Ÿ˜‚

buoyant skiff
#

and that can change in future revisions of lovelace

mild veldt
#

@weak gust can read, just not comprehend, likely

fiery temple
mild veldt
#

@buoyant skiff selectively reads what he wants ๐Ÿคฃ

wheat current
#

That is homeassistant config, that has nothing to do with Lovelace @fiery temple

split granite
#

Those files have nothing to do with Lovelace

buoyant skiff
#

@fiery temple thats whats backups are for

#

are you really a system engineer ?

split granite
#

The only file used by Lovelace is ui-lovelace.yaml

fiery temple
#

thats what the main file says:

Copy resources from anywhere to www/lovelace and include them

split granite
#

What main file?

fiery temple
#

yes an im pretty good at it

buoyant skiff
#

lego ?

mild veldt
#

@buoyant skiff play nice

fiery temple
#

main.yaml lovelace/main.yaml:

split granite
#

Where is that from?

fiery temple
#

no windows server and networking, no linux stuff

split granite
#

Ok, that's not Lovelace

#

That's the gen script that you chose to use

wheat current
#

Recources for that == custom cards

buoyant skiff
#

begin with reading the actual lovelace docs

#

and go from there

#

then once you grasp the basics

#

you can use a gen to convert your old ui to new

#

or start from scratch

split granite
#

Starting from scratch is in many ways easier IMO

buoyant skiff
#

yepp and better

split granite
#

Stops you trying to make Lovelace behave like the old UI

buoyant skiff
#

its like trying to convert a lada into a porsche

#

and vice versa

weak gust
#

the generator is only for if you want to split up your lovelace configuration

buoyant skiff
#

yeah but if you dont have any then its useless ๐Ÿ˜„

#

0b is 0b ๐Ÿ˜›

wheat current
buoyant skiff
#

the minimalist ui

polar kelp
#

Do NOT start out by using lovelace-gen. Add it later, when you know what youโ€™re doing and find you need it.

mild veldt
#

@wheat current too much clutter ๐Ÿ‘Ž

buoyant skiff
#

yeah the sidebar and topbar has to go

wheat current
#

I bearly use that, so could go away ๐Ÿ˜›

fiery temple
#

nono

#

i use ut for radarr and sonaar in iframa xD

#

iframe

wheat current
#

Call the police ๐Ÿ‘ฎ

fiery temple
#

๐Ÿ™„

buoyant skiff
#

so promoting piracy

#

nice

fiery temple
#

ok i created the content card example in www folder
i put that code of referencing youre new card in the ui-lovelace .yaml and i get

#

n.setconfig is not a function

buoyant skiff
#

wonders if he actually reads any of the documentation or just adds stuff

fiery temple
#

yeah i have read from up to here

buoyant skiff
#

then you wouldnt have gotten n.setconfig

weak gust
#

yeah I scrolled to the examples and copy pasted. why isn't it working?

buoyant skiff
#

๐Ÿ˜‰

wheat current
#

@fiery temple No one here is going to help you untill you dissapear for at least 20mins (at least it will give an illution to you using the time to read).
Unless you are willing to help your self why would any one else do it for you?

split granite
#

You're taking the wrong approach @fiery temple - the tool you're playing with isn't for migrating the config. Maybe you should read what it does?

buoyant skiff
#

trust him hes an engineer

split granite
#

The second top pinned message has a link to a site that gives you not one but two migration scripts, and further down the pinned messages there's a third option

#

Or, you know, read the docs and start from scratch

#

You'd probably already be most of the way there if you'd done that ๐Ÿ˜‰

weak gust
fiery temple
#

ok thnx guys

#

can is ask one more question do the note says is supported by chrome, does this include chromium?

#

not sure if its chrome aswell

split granite
#

~lmgtfy chromium chrome

kind shellBOT
split granite
#

They're mostly the same thing

fiery temple
#

if i google that dutch articles says there are two very different things ๐Ÿ˜ฉ anyway ill test it on my windows desktop with chrome when all is finished ill test again on chromium

weak gust
#

chromium is the open source variant, so it doesn't include proprietary features, mostly related to video decoding and autoupdates

fiery temple
#

OMG

#

i just added my first card

#

๐Ÿ˜…

polar kelp
#

@buoyant skiff Can you explain again what it was you wanted?

buoyant skiff
#

state one entity and link another ๐Ÿ˜ƒ basically
so on click the link one shows up but on lovelace the stated one shows

polar kelp
#

I... don't get it...

buoyant skiff
#

lets take this if i was to click on the text home i would just get that sensor saying that im home but i im suggesting is to have it link another entity

polar kelp
#

Oh. Yeah, sure, no problem.

#

Just set entity

#

Then it will show more-info for the entity you specify

buoyant skiff
#

yes ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

exactly

polar kelp
#

Or you mean on standard click? Not long press?

buoyant skiff
#

either or

#

both ways are acceptable

#

atm there is no way at all so im just glad that its possible

fiery temple
polar kelp
#

Try ```

  • type: custom:long-press
    entity: group.my_device_trackers
    child:
    type: state-label (I guess)
    entity: sensor.current_location
    style:
    whatever
buoyant skiff
#

yeah that works ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

polar kelp
#

Using the latest version of long-press, because this feature was released yesterday...

buoyant skiff
#

or more correctly that could work

#

autocorrect

#

hehe

#

on mobile

polar kelp
#

Nice work @fiery temple

buoyant skiff
#

ill mess around with that tomorrow when i got more time

fiery temple
#

haha thnx proberly a few of you here are now almost falling from ther chairs from lauching P

buoyant skiff
#

cause then i can make use of camera.locations again

polar kelp
#

We all started somewhere

buoyant skiff
#

by having sensor.location point to camera.location on longpress

#

cause the places component is far better then the built in map

polar kelp
fiery temple
#

i want to add sensors to the people are home card., now its based on states home, how do i get the weather sensor in there?

#
        state_filter:
          - 'home'
#

i dont want to have an extra card for that

#
      - type: entity-filter
        entities:
          - device_tracker.thomas_thomasgalaxys8
          - device_tracker.joella_joellagalaxys8
          - sensor.weather_temperature
        state_filter:
          - 'home'
        card:
          type: glance
          title: People that are home

aint work

polar kelp
#

That's not doable with the standard cards

fiery temple
#

ok

#

so for all sensor i need custom cards?

polar kelp
#

It is with the monster-card, which incidentally is a perfect way to get started using custom cards.

wheat current
#

~monster-card

kind shellBOT
#

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

fiery temple
#

ah no the pain starts

polar kelp
#

The state filter will make sure only entities that has the state home are shown. Your temperature sensor will probably never have that state.

fiery temple
#

monster-card.js goes in the www folder?

polar kelp
#

yes

fiery temple
#

i have done that but im still getting custom element doenst exist: monster-card

#

i did restarted HA, just to be sure

polar kelp
#

Check your homeassistant log

#

It says something about "Unexpected token <" doesn't it?

fiery temple
#

the log is darn empty

#

Oh, right.

#

I thought the bot provided link had installation instructions, but I guess it doesn't.

fiery temple
#

got that error away while using the raw content but now im getting connot read propert 'include' of null, nvm fixed it

#

need tot get 2 more spaces under filter, now its working this is pretty cool

polar kelp
#

Well done!

pure void
polar kelp
#

Yeah. I use it with last-changed

pure void
#

ahhh

#

figured it out. of course as soon as i ask i notice my mistake

polar kelp
#

You're welcome.

pure void
#

thank you!

weak gust
#

really wish secondary info supported a template

pure void
#

that would be nice

polar kelp
#

No templates in lovelace.

#

It's pretty much one of the commandments

loud vault
#

secondary-info supporting a template would be so useful

#

last-changed is cool, but not that useful for every entity

#

quick question for lovelace-ui, does anyone know how to color the entity icon depending on its state value?

#

for switches by default yellow is on, blue is off. Id' like to colorize a sensor icon based on its state

fiery temple
#

HELL YEAH

#

took me a few hours do

#

as i started to read i came out on several post
i started to reading https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/lovelace_custom_card.html and so on

this is not nessesairly for a beginner to started
just remember to download the cards put them in the www folder and include them in youre resources:
resources:

  • url: /local/monster-card.js
    type: js

    from there you can build

    some preview of code

#

@tender wasp How does this differ from the built in camera cards?

buoyant skiff
#

it switches on motion

#

its right there in the docs

swift violet
#

Thanks @buoyant skiff - looked at it on mobile - missed that there was any documentation

#

Actually . . . There isnโ€™t docs - where are you seeing those?

#

Oh sorry Iโ€™m crossing wires

#

I thought we were talking surveillance card

#

Your link looks cool also - thatโ€™s in my tabs to review tomorrow

wheat current
#

For the surveillance card it has some extra features over the built-in one, with multiple cams and limiting for updates, live stream multiple cameras on a pi can be hard for the device

pliant snow
#

so, i just restarted my 77.3 home assistant and now it complains about "Could not find ui-lovelace.yaml in your config dir."

#

it's been working fine thru out the week

#

but today,

#

no go

#

what do i do ๐Ÿ˜›

buoyant skiff
#

check if ui-lovelace.yaml exists ?

pliant snow
#

i did

#

and it's not there ๐Ÿ˜‰

polar kelp
#

Try not to double post in multiple channels

pliant snow
#

np

buoyant skiff
#

then guess what

pliant snow
#

wont do again

buoyant skiff
#

create it again

#

its as simple as that

#

a no brainer

pliant snow
#

@buoyant skiff that i will do, but i cant realy find any good config guides to lovelace

#

and how to manage it

buoyant skiff
#

.awesome

kind shellBOT
buoyant skiff
#

bookmark it

pliant snow
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

@buoyant skiff the main question is realy why did it "break" now,

buoyant skiff
#

it didnt break

pliant snow
#

ive been running 77.3 from the realease

buoyant skiff
#

ui-lovelace.yaml didnt exist

pliant snow
#

and today is the first time it complains

buoyant skiff
#

wasnt a break was just pointing out that the file is missing

pliant snow
#

true

buoyant skiff
#

huge differance

pliant snow
#

but why wait 4 days

buoyant skiff
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

pliant snow
#

exactly, that's the confusion i have ๐Ÿ˜›

#

and it's anying, i had a nother problem that i was combatting,

buoyant skiff
#

not really confusion in my case

#

file didnt exist

pliant snow
#

and now i have to change focus

buoyant skiff
#

the issue i got at the moment is an empty coffee cup

#

thats an issue

pliant snow
#

that's a easy fix tho

#

if you have coffee, water and a heat source

buoyant skiff
#

you forget yourself i have to go to all off that too

pliant snow
#

how do i revert back from lovelace to the old UI

#

thrue

buoyant skiff
#

have you tried to press the small info button

#

and then remove lovelace as default ui ?

pliant snow
#

now i have ๐Ÿ˜„

#

thx

#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

that was a unclear way of posting this feature,

#

but @buoyant skiff thx for the help

#

it saved me from doing a clean install ๐Ÿ˜›

buoyant skiff
#

lol or maybe read the docs a bit better

#

now for that coffee

pliant snow
#

docs are hell of a mood killer when you have dyslexic

#

and good luck with the coffee

buoyant skiff
#

hehe well then thats a challange

buoyant skiff

sturdy bough
#

hi guys. I'm trying to use a picture-elements to map my entities on a picture (floorplan) i made.
I've noticed that when i put a intput_boolean, with "toggle" and "state-icon", it works, but it does not change it's picture state. It's always a blue bulb, even when turned on. If use in a normal card, it works like it has to. Why? What the right way to have it turn, for example , yellow when on?

raven nacelle
#

@sturdy bough You can use customize to change the icon based on the state. Look at my repo for example

sturdy bough
#

i was looking at it right now ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

but there is a lot to learn, and i'm pretty tired right now. I think i'll examine it better when i'll at home

#

i was just wondering why the state icon doesn't change only in that tiype of card

#

but it does in others

#

what is that "custom updater" i see in chat?

raven nacelle
#

custom updater is to update the supported custom LL cards automatically

sturdy bough
#

where i can give a look at?

raven nacelle
#

.lmgtfy "custom updater lovelace"

kind shellBOT
sturdy bough
#

and, lastly, is there any place where i can see all or most of the custom cards developed, without scrolling this chat for weeks? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

uhm dont think so. I have some nodemcu with PIR and radar sensors, that detect movements almost all of the time, even when nothing moves, even when no one at home. At the moment those sensors are unusable.

So many different custom cards out there now for Lovelace, would be nice to have like a repository in the GUI where you could choose what to install/use (like hass.io). Anyone knows if this or similar is in the plans

Hi all.. Creating a new card for my veggie patch. Have been able to get the card to display with static values, but when I try and read values from HA I always get this error: Cannot read property 'card_title' of undefined

can i ask a question about the monster card

kind shellBOT
fiery temple

is that possible?

vital forge
#

hello

#

Does anybody know of any issues when using the picture-elements card inside the conditional card?

#

I can't seem to get it working while conditional works fine with other type of cards...

#

Lovelace tells me in red: "no card type configured", while it is of course in my config.

#

nevermind... got it...

native kiln
#

How is the transition going to happen? It seems lovelace is better than the default but the default is still being run alongside lovelace
Is it not possible to just transition the current "cards" from the default interface and recreate them on the lovelace interface and just remove the default interface?

vital forge
#

It is possible, there are scripts that help you create the ui-lovelace.yaml based on your groups.

native kiln
#

Is it possible to just remove the default interface? I don't like having to change on every device I use,

#

Or another way to put it is what is lovelace missing that causes it not to be the default interface? I assume I am missing why lovelace is not the default

vital forge
#

you can't remove it afaik. But you can set it the default one (per device). 2 clicks, not that much, per device and you can forget about groups.

#

That's what I did. ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

But I think some things are still not working in lovelace, so they keep the old one. I think...

native kiln
#

Does anyone know what isn't working? Maybe I am just not trying it but I have not run into something that doesn't work, maybe its a stability issue?

#

I was thinking of taking and going through the front end development and just encapsulating lovelace and then setting it as the interface that home assistant serves up

#

I don't know if that is fool hardy though, I know lovelace is separate from the main state machine so I don't know if you can use the old frontend developer tutorials/docs to transport lovelace/use the lovelace backend and just use your own front end

#

Good to know you don't think you can remove it @vital forge I wasn't finding anything but thought I would check

vital forge
#

use the migration script and you have good base for lovelace.

#

Afterwards just finetune. You can always go back. Lovelace is just a frontend and it's just the url's in your browser that change from .../states to .../lovelace.

#

You can't break automations, scripts, sensors,... by moving to lovelace.

native kiln
#

True but lovelace does un couple the ui from the main state machine so I assume it does more than just changes the url string

Do you have weather.demo_weather_north in states?

I got it form here

buoyant skiff

yeah but you cant just copy paste stuff

you have to change the entity

in order to get it to work

You have to change the examples to be what your system has in it

buoyant skiff

so go to dev info

#

find the weather component

#

copy the name of that entity and change it in the lovelace file

storm tusk
#

I dont think I have one

#

that link is supposed to be an example

buoyant skiff

exactly an example

when you need to do the work yourself

begin with setting up yr if you want that

storm tusk

How do I do that?

buoyant skiff
storm tusk

I will point you to my post above

#

this is the most frustrating way of doing things ever ๐Ÿ˜›

#

So if I go to States

#

in Entities

#

I should see a weather

buoyant skiff
#

thats cause your doing it wrong begin with setting up your platform

#

with components

#

then begin with lovelace

#

not the other way around

storm tusk
#

I already have it in configuration.yaml

#

so I am not sure what else I need

#

Or why the website doesn't explain this further

buoyant skiff
#

did you click on states

#

in the sidemenu

storm tusk
#

Yes

buoyant skiff
#

is there a weather platform available there ?

storm tusk
#

if it should have the word weather in it

#

then no

buoyant skiff
#

then its not setup correctly

storm tusk
#

This is what I copied and pasted into config

buoyant skiff

and did you restart homeassistant ?

Is that another "example"

yes

Run the config check listed in there, make sure you've configured it right

but again im fairly doubtful its gonna work since it is a sensor

so darksky, yahoo weather

#

those are gonna give you forcasts

split granite
#

Yeah, the weather card only works with entities beginning weather.

#

Some give better looking cards than others, and OpenWeatherMap is sometimes just silly with the number of decimal places it uses for rain ๐Ÿ˜›

Liking Lovelace so far but can anyone help with tap_action command? I cannot get it to work or find an example. I have read the docs and it seems like it is going to work but it doesnโ€™t

buoyant skiff
#

so what do you wanna do with tap_action ?

prisma mango
#

@buoyant skiff I just want to use the tap_action: toggle command on my lights in the glance card. Expectation is that I will just add "tap_action: toggle" two spaces in on the next line and bingo it would work

wheat current
#

And how does it currently look in your config?

prisma mango
#

I am assuming its just syntax but cant find any examples

wheat current
#

If you can't find any examples, there is a good chance what you are trying to do is not possible ๐Ÿ˜‰

prisma mango
#

It clearly states it in the docs

wheat current
#

But in your case it should.
I imagine you need to prefix the entity with entity:

prisma mango
#

It does say "If you define entities as objects instead of strings, you can add more customization and configuration:"

polar kelp
prisma mango
#

Currently they are listed as entities, should I call each out individually as a singluar entity?

wheat current
#

@polar kelp have a long way to work? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Though my company is based in Denmark, so it could be +4...5?

prisma mango
#

Thanks @polar kelp I will give that a read, if there are examples of each it would help significantly

#

In the help, not your article

wheat current
#

prefix the entity with entity: like in the example for that card...

polar kelp
#

There is, actually. The first example for glance has both string and object entities.

#

But itโ€™s easier to know what youโ€™re seeing when you understand the syntax.

#

Man, I hate typing on mobile. Typos galore!

prisma mango

@wheat current Thanks thats great, really appreciate it

To be fair the example if for something else, once you know then its pretty obvious, thats the beauty of hindsight though, its always 20:20

I didnt know HassBot had burn like that

In Lovelace can entities be configured on a group level but displayed individually? I used to be able to use "group.all_lights" to show every light together but now it shows a single entity for the group

foggy tendon
#

I have this card related to lights :
https://hastebin.com/irucisotaz.bash
and i'd like to use for these lights the slider-entity-row custom card... How to have this?
i mean how to change that card to have the sliders?

wheat current
prisma mango
#

@wheat current Perfect, Thanks

wheat current
#

@foggy tendon you need to specify the as the type

foggy tendon
#

@wheat current Ok, but how to include in my already typed card?

wheat current
#

again: you need to specify the as the type

foggy tendon
#

@wheat current sorry, but what you mean with "specify the as the type"?

wheat current

@wheat current adding the custom card i get this error:

wheat current
#

config?

foggy tendon
wheat current
#

Maybe it does not support it ๐Ÿคท

foggy tendon
#

@wheat current ok

polar kelp
#

You need a slightly different approach

#

Slider-entity-row is not a card, so it shouldnโ€™t be in the card section of mobster-card

#

It should be under options of the entity.

#

Add type: custom:slider-entity-row under secondary_info with the same indentation and it should work.

I donโ€™t think !secret is available from lovelace... because the lovelace config is interpreted by the frontend.

I also haven't tried but I'm trying to use a secret in a zone filter will this work? state_filter: - home - !secret zone_1_name

hmm ok

well crap

polar kelp

You could use monster-card and glob it into obfuscation...

link to that? I'm just trying to keep this dead simple

really need to use secrets on the client

polar kelp
#

Then thatโ€™s Not the way to go - if you want simple

short vale
#

I don't care if I leak my secrets to my browser.. maybe there is a flag for allowing one to be client side

#

I just don't want it publicly available. e.g., limiting scope of locations / people that live with me (my wife's details)

polar kelp
#

You could use more generic names โ€™device_tracker.wife_phoneโ€™, โ€™zone.workplaceโ€™ etc

short vale

Can zones have friendly names? Edit: bloody on-screen keyboard

short vale

I'm not sure

but in my whose home, I'd love to be able to pull in any entities that are currently on a guest network and display them in the list

I really wonder how Id' do that

#

can entities have wildcards

#

device_tracker.*_iphone

polar kelp
#

With monster-card...

short vale
#

sorry I should probably move this to the other channel but it also ties into lovelace

#

I didn't really want to bring in third party controls unless I absolutely have to

#

I feel like some of this needs to be built into lovelace now before 1.0 ga

split granite
#

Thing is, this is an automation platform ๐Ÿ˜‰

short vale
#

it's an automation platform but the ui is what sells it ๐Ÿ˜‰

split granite
#

There are UIs, but they're not (and are never going to be) the focus. Indeed, the whole point of Lovelace is to separate the automation platform from the UI

short vale
#

to me node-red is the automation platform, this is just my aggregate root ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

btw, I've been running into issues with lovelace that I just remembered..

#

I've been updating to every point release, somewhere in the mixup my mobil devices stopped rendering love lace (one of the three still works)

#

clicking on the refresh icon in ios refreshes it but does nothing

#

nothing in the system log either

split granite
#

I think if you search you'll find something about that, there may even be an issue

short vale
#

ok

split granite
#

The UI is developed against Chrome, and Safari doesn't support some of the HTML or Javascript features I think

short vale
#

that shouldn't be, they are both webkit based

split granite
#

#devs_frontend-archived would possibly have been more on topic, but I'm sure the devs can redirect if they feel the need

@polar kelp Yes, it works... thanks! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

polar kelp

Good. I kind of went out of my way to make sure it would work with monster card too.

short vale
#

Heads up, secrets worked in my state filter but wild card did not

polar kelp
#

Then something off in my understanding of lovelace. Thanks for letting me know. Guess I'll be studyin the source in bed tonight.

short vale
#

@polar kelp If I had to guess, the lovelace yaml is parsed server side and then all edits take place and then that parsed format is transformed into a new dsl/returned as updated yaml to the ui

Hi, i would like to show a timer in the frontend which is counting down till the time reaches an inpute_datetime.

#

but cant seem to get it working

#

its still throwing the 'Please define entities' error

#

what am i doing wrong??

buoyant skiff
#

gotta use the platform not the sensor

#

if your planning to use darksky

#

no weather card works with the sensors yet

polar kelp
#

Toast: card-modder could probably do that margin thing you were asking about. But thatโ€™s admittedly not a very good solution. The margins are the same as the built-in markdown card.

buoyant skiff
#

edited the markdown card

#

changed all the 16px to 8px so it acts as normal state-label

#

since im using it mostly as that instead of a seperate card as the original plan intended for most users

#

@polar kelp is any possabilty to have that as an option within the card config ?

quick gulch
#

ok i switched to platform, which is cleaner anyway stilll getting the same error , can you check my syntax?

#

not sure if i'm doing it right (i'm new to hass)

buoyant skiff
#

try this instead

      - type: "custom:weather-card"
        entity_weather: weather.dark_sky
        entity_sun: sun.sun
drowsy summit
buoyant skiff
#

if that works then go for it

drowsy summit
#

I've stopped using Lovelace already so my config is a couple of weeks old. This may no longer work ๐Ÿคท

buoyant skiff
#

thats why i wanted to try less first ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

drowsy summit
#

lol go for it!

quick gulch
#

less didnt work

#

trying the other ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

buoyant skiff
#

then thats not gonna work either

#

states is darksky available there ?

quick gulch
#

more didnt work

#

@drowsy summit what do you use instead?

drowsy summit
#

you have added the darksky component, right?

buoyant skiff
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

quick gulch
#

yeah i have the platform added and the tile is showing fine on the standard dashboard

buoyant skiff
#

goes watch tv instead

drowsy summit
#

I'm trying to decide between HADashboard and Home Panel

quick gulch
#

are they better? surely the official one will outpace the others soon enough

drowsy summit
#

maybe

#

but for a UI, less is more in my house

#

need basic controls and access to cam feeds

#

much more and it will never get used

quick gulch
#

how do you serve it up? on a screen? or mirror?

fiery temple
#

is it possible to get camera feed on the frontend?

drowsy summit
#

touchscreen laptop, hinges removed and screen flipped all the way back, mounted in a frame on the wall.. still setting it all up. Hope to have a decision made on UI by the time I am done lol

fiery temple
#

instead of still pictures

fiery temple
#

ah cool

split granite
#

And maybe other things with the word picture in their name - I'd try reading the Lovelace docs, and looking at the custom cards ๐Ÿ˜‰

fiery temple
#

well i have picture-glance atm and it giving me a still image

split granite
#

Show us your config

fiery temple
#

if i remove the camera_image im getting error that its not valid

#
      - type: picture-glance
        title: Dashboard
        camera_image: camera.mjpeg_camera
        entities:
          - camera.mjpeg_camera
#
- platform: mjpeg
  mjpeg_url: https://10.3.1.17:6080/video
  authentication: false
#

yesterday i had the survaillance card working but its ugly so got rid of it

split granite
#

My picture-entity card looks like:

    cards:
      - type: picture-entity
        entity: camera.front_camera
        camera_image: camera.front_camera``` that updates about every 10 seconds, as expected
fiery temple
#

yes that does the mine as well, but like i asked can we get live feed?

split granite
#

You only ever get images that update regularly, not a live feed

#

If you want a live feed us a picture-entity card then click on it

fiery temple
#

thats already working with picture-entity i can click on it for live feed

#

sry picture-glance

split granite
#

Then you've got the best you'll currently get

buoyant portal
#

Anyone know what card I should use to make the card (semi)transparent and what config I should use?

fiery temple
#

no sry i dont know

#

wait till tinkerer comes with a sharp reaction XD

buoyant portal
#

๐Ÿคฃ

split granite
#

Almost certainly you'll need some form of custom card, though I'm not sure if transparency is supported. When @buoyant skiff is around they may know, given all the eye candy they've produced

buoyant portal
#

Yeah @buoyant skiff seems like the one who would know. I thought I saw it somewhere so I was trying to search but had no luck

buoyant skiff
#

just helping ludeeus a bit so ill be around shortly

buoyant portal
#

Np

buoyant skiff
#

sup ?

buoyant portal
#

Just wondering if there was a card that I could use to add some transparency so I could see the background image through the card

buoyant skiff
#

opacity its a filter function ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

is it to the card transperancy itself ?

buoyant portal
#

No itโ€™s not transparent. Ok Iโ€™ll attempt to adjust the opacity

split granite
buoyant skiff
#
style: 
  opacity: 0.8
#

@buoyant portal

buoyant portal
#

Thank you

#

this weather card is ruining my day

#

any other ideas on how to get it working?

#

its just stuck on 'please define entities'

that sort of thing

wheat current
#

yes

viral sorrel
#

is there a way to overcome this or is it something that needs to be fixed within lovelace and/or firefox?

viral sorrel
#

thanks.. I had no idea components were a thing that had to be supported at the browser level

viral sorrel
#

ugh.. I changed those settings.. everything seemed to be working fine but now my home assistant tab is crashing

viral sorrel

still get some errors.. guess it's not 100% good with firefox even with those modifications

buoyant skiff
#

nick seen my latest screendump of the ui ?

dense roost
#

i haven't, send the magic

buoyant skiff
#

90% done

#

some minor tweaks and addtions still to go

dense roost
#

haha that's awesome, looking much better. is it on sharethelove?

buoyant skiff
#

nope not yet

#

need to fix all the background stuff and clean up the config

dense roost
#

ah nice I want to check it out when it's up.

buoyant skiff
#

sure thing will keep you in the loop

#

how is your weather card coming along ?

dense roost
#

it's done I just need to come up with things for it to say, haven't touched it in a couple of weeks. Was trying to come up with a version that would be wife approved for wall tablets, most people don't want f-bombs on their wall tablets ๐Ÿ˜›

buoyant skiff
#

hehe well make one nice

#

and the we can make one that full of fbombs and insensitive shit in it ๐Ÿ˜›

dense roost
#

it gives messages depending on the type of weather, rainy, windy, sunny, clear-night, and within those based on temperature, so a different message on a clear-night when it's 55 degrees and another message for clear-night when it's 60 degrees Freedom Units

#

lmao will do. inappropriate-weather.js and appropriate-inappropriate-weather.js

buoyant skiff
#

haha awesome ๐Ÿ˜„

fiery temple
#

i have made sensor from my device trackers to change the home to connected state, in the unused entities now the device trackers are there, any way to get them rid of there, proberly not poss?

#

can you hide an view? so no mdi icon or so, cause then ill place them in a seperate view?

split granite
#

The whole point of the unused entities view is to list the entities that aren't in any view

#

There are no hidden views, because that would be daft ๐Ÿ˜‰

fiery temple
#

i find it handy to see which are not yet configurated

#

i got some strange thing now

#

i made this

  - icon: mdi:general
    title: Clean
    cards:
      - type: custom:monster-card
        card:
          type: entities
          title: All other entities
          show_empty: false
        filter:
          include:
          - entity: device_tracker.htpc02
#

there is no icon so its kinda invisable, but it shows literally all entities...

#

and there is nothing in the unused entities list anymore

#

ah its cause of the monster card i think lel

split granite
#

Yes, because you've now got them all displayed ๐Ÿคท

fiery temple
#

i dont get it i got items in the unused entities while a im using them but as an entitiy_id instead of entity

kind shellBOT
fiery temple
#

while if i add them as:

        entities:
          - device_tracker.chromecast01
          - device_tracker.defap01
          - device_tracker.defcam01
          - device_tracker.defcam02
          - device_tracker.deffw01

they are going away from unused entities, but there not showed on lovelace

#

i might as change the monstercard to a entity filter awell but i like the list

undone egret
#

@split granite i dont think @kind shell is playing around anymore if you post long code ๐Ÿคฃ

split granite
#

It's getting less subtle, which given how many people ignore the rules, is probably a good thing

#

I'm tempted to put in a request to have it auto-kick anybody who posts more than twice the limit listed in the rules ๐Ÿค”

fiery temple
#

found the solution, i started with the monster card and that needs entity_id instead of entity and then is still under unused entities. so i changed a few monster cards to normal entities card type and its ok

#

i tought that type: entities wasnt lovelace related๐Ÿ˜…

#

that we needit cards

#

well its a card confused

#

is there a way to reduce the wasted space on the lovelace banner?

#

like moving icons up next to the title?

nope but you can use kiosk mode

#

removing the banner

neat

#

makes for better hosting ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

yes, could you help me on do it?

Good day all. Quick question.. Is there a way in love lace to have a view that is not displayed in the header section. But be would be linked to via navigation_path?

              navigation_path: /lovelace/<hidden page>```
gritty swift
#

is there a way to force Lovelace as the default for all new logins yet?

#

or some kind of redirect

buoyant skiff
#

just the set as default under info

#

thats all at the moment

native kiln
#

Is there a way to just remove the default ui? I like that lovelace is decoupled from the main state machine but doesn't running the default ui slow down the rest of the hass instance? ie its still running the ui in the main state machine but it is also running the lovelace ui so overall slower right now?

buoyant skiff
#

no

severe idol
#

I'm trying to set up Lovelace and trying to get a Picture entity card working. I'm running HA via Docker and only the /config folder mounted. I have no idea how to get my image to display... nothing is working. What is the right command?

I have tried: image: /config/picture.png
/local/picture.png
/www/picture.png

And just straight, image: picture.png

None of these worked. Where am I going wrong?

buoyant skiff
#

its always /local/

#

in ui-lovelace.yaml

#

and on hdd you put your stuff in /config/

#

this is all covered in the docs on basic configuration

covert jacinth
#

@severe idol With my setup I use /local/image.png in the config and then place the files in the /<config>/www directory. That works for me.

subtle rune
#

I was going to check out the lovelace-fullykiosk, to see if I could use it on a rpi with a screen, but I realized it was for android devices. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ Is there anything else available to be able to shut of screen and such?

buoyant skiff
#

should be simple to fix if it uses browser fingerprint or something

buoyant skiff
#

@subtle rune

#

change this line

if(!navigator.userAgent.includes("Linux; Android"))
#

if you add the os of the browser there it works ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

subtle rune
#

Will it work with motion for turning on and off screen too? And brightness? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

I mean, don't it require the app?

buoyant skiff
#

just going by source and if you add windows

#

or dunno if apple uses applekit when id it self

#

iphone; ipad

subtle rune
#

I want to use it with rpi with raspbian :/

buoyant skiff
#

linux is already there

#

so that should work

#

check your browser agent

subtle rune
#

Yeah alright, but what about this "...where fully_kiosk_id is the Device ID from Fully Kiosk Browser (available under Settings->Other Settings)." from https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-fullykiosk
Am I being an idiot for not getting how I will be able to do this on the rpi...?

buoyant skiff
#

dunno havent tried it

#

just looked at the source for it and saw the id string

subtle rune
#

Ah, alright. Maybe the fullscreen part works but not the part with motion and brightness then. Will have to try when I get home (at work now)

#

I guess there is other ways of getting the motion sensor -> turn on/off screen in rpi that I can use otherwise.

buoyant skiff
#

should work too

foggy tendon
#

Is it possible to use the style option for every card or only in some of them? If yes, which one supports style?

#

@river edge Very interesting... can you maybe share also the icons and the scripts? I am in Abruzzo too... ๐Ÿ˜€

river edge
#

@foggy tendon all are into zip file

@river edge link?

#

@river edge Ok, found it.... thanks

patent lagoon
#

Hi!

#
  • type: weather-forecast
    title: Renamed Title
    entity: weather.dark_sky

Shouldn't I be able to rename the title of the weather-forecast card just like every other card? It doesn't work, instead still showing the "Dark Sky" name configured for the platform itself...

buoyant skiff
#

title is above plaform name

#

so it will always be dark sky if your using the dark sky platform

patent lagoon
#

Erm... you mean hieratically? Or within my example? If title > platform name, than it should overwrite it, shouldn't it?

buoyant skiff
#

it doesnt rewrite the platform name

#

so what you want isnt possible

patent lagoon
#

Okay, I understand. Is this consistent across all platforms and correct to behave this way? I thought maybe the Lovelace concept would be designed so that it "beats" the platform name...

buoyant skiff
#

well the sole focus has been on the auth system with the latest updates so there hasnt been much lovelace work

#

but im sure once it picks up again there will be changes

#

lovelace isnt a complete feature so far

patent lagoon
#

Sure. Just thought if maybe I should create an issue on github for this behaviour. If it really is an issue and not wanted to behave this way.

buoyant skiff
#

i know that customize is getting a rework

#

so might just be worth waiting for that to happen then it might be possible to change more on the frontend then now

patent lagoon
#

Ok. Thanks!

Anyone here using fully kiosk on a fire tablet and know how to get custom module cards to show. For all module cards I get the red error message saying itโ€™s not supported. Works if using chrome.

tired quail
#

fully uses the built-in Android Webview, which is a few versions behind. I think latest FireOS is webview version 59 and android webview is up to version 68 now. Not sure what Chrome uses

buoyant skiff

69

#

cant expect old hardware to keep up with development

Yea tried downloading the android WebView from the play store and doesnโ€™t seem to do anything.
