Suggestions ?

potent fjord Jan 22, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

yeah ok, should read more carefully

split granite Jan 22, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

Lovelace isn't designed for fixed layouts, but that card, or a mix of vertical and horizontal stack will get you as close as you can

potent fjord Jan 22, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

that card had configuration option for background image, that fixed the issue

winter knoll Jan 22, 2019, 8:13 PM

Hi, I have strange issue in my lovelace dashboard. When I open entity with a chart, it shows the chart for a while and after few second, the chart is replaced by random chart from other entity. It is super weird 😅

#

Eg. I opened Vacuum detail, it correctly shown vacuum state chart, after a while the chart was replaced with processor usage chart. https://i.imgur.com/5nNVpM2.png

#

I can reproduce this with any entity with chart detail, all are now replaced with processor use after a minute or two, but few hours ago, it was being replaced by different chart

hey folks, im seeing an error in lovelace...custom element doesnt exist: button-card

polar kelp Jan 22, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

config?

vapid field Jan 22, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

anyone know the deal with custom components and Kindle Fire tablets?

#

it seems that once the card becomes "official" it works fine. like the alarm card, or the thermostat card

vapid field Jan 22, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

im getting this error

#

ERROR (MainThread) [frontend.js.latest.201901091] http://192.168.0.133:8123/local/button-card.js:1:8 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

it was recently updated - make sure you have latest version of the card

vapid field Jan 22, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

yeah i just downloaded the latest version and still get that error

timid burrow Jan 23, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

clear all data and cookies?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

@vapid field There's not supposed to be a { at position 8 of line 1. Are you sure you got the right file?

#

In the old version there was, though.

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 8:08 AM

#

Yeah I just got the latest version last night

#

@polar kelp could you link the correct version so I can triple check please

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

Assuming we're talking about kuujis button-card: https://github.com/kuuji/button-card/blob/master/button-card.js

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

Thanks @polar kelp that's the one I have

#

I'm not at home right now, but I'll try removing existing .js file and redownload it again

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:23 AM

#

You should also add a version tracker variable to the URL. This is likely to be a caching problem. See the article I linked before.

timid burrow Jan 23, 2019, 8:37 AM

#

is anyone aware of any change with the conditional card in 0.86.0b3?

#

I am trying to add one and it just won't save

#

      - type: conditional
        conditions:
          - entity: sensor.recycling_bin_today
            state: "True"
        card:
          type: picture-entity
          entity: sensor.recycling_bin_today
          show_name: false
          show_state: false
          image: /local/images/recycling_bin_tomorrow.png

#

I have created the sensor

weak flume Jan 23, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

Do you need quotes on a boolean?

#

ie True

timid burrow Jan 23, 2019, 11:26 AM

#

I was following an example from someone else doing the exact same thing. I’ll try without.... he may have had single quotes...

weak flume Jan 23, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

Yeah that was more of a question. I didnt think you needed them but I could be wrong.

viral sorrel Jan 23, 2019, 11:35 AM

#

how can I use last-changed with an entities card?

#

I've tried this and it doesn't work.. as well as many other iterations

#

      - type: entities
        title: Family Room Lamp
        show_header_toggle: false
        entities:
          - entity: switch.family_room_lamp
          - entity: sensor.family_room_lamp_power
            options:
              secondary_info: last-changed

old karma Jan 23, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

@viral sorrel

          - entity: sensor.family_room_lamp_power
            secondary_info: last-changed

is enough.

viral sorrel Jan 23, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

thanks.. and it seems it's needed after each entity

lofty summit Jan 23, 2019, 2:24 PM

Hey guys, some shameless self promotion incoming. Check out my new lovelace card! https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-check-button-card/92980 You can use it to track all sorts of things.

mild veldt Jan 23, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

@lofty summit cool idea! Going to add it on sharethelove

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

@polar kelp - can we discuss secondary_info?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

Sure

mild veldt Jan 23, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

@lofty summit https://github.com/sharetheloveio/sharethelove.io/pull/69

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

So I've been playing with a combination of versions...currently running the latest HA .86rc and card-tools 0.2. As I mentioned, the code works fine before yesterday's card-tools commit. Now, the behavior I am seeing is that my custom elements are being rendered when the page is being built (stepping through w/ Chrome debugger)...but something comes through after that which wipes out my custom elements and replaces them with the 'standard' entity rows.

#

Would your change explain that behavior?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

That's odd...

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

I thought so too 😉

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

It should work in the rc... Is it not working with the next-branch of card-tools either?

lofty summit Jan 23, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

@mild veldt cool thanks! 😃

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

I tried earlier, but was on the dev branch at the time, not rc

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

It sounds like a ll-rebuild or rebuild-view event that's going wrong somehow.

#

Should work on dev too

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

I'll drop in the .3 and retry (it is also at the beginning of my resources FWIW)

#

Can you briefly describe that the ll-rebuild is doing?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

In short it causes a card to be rebuilt after a custom element has loaded in.

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

.3 actually causes a different problem...the custom entityRow that I create no longer returns an updateComplete

kind shellBOT Jan 23, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/posts/3/

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

It's fired by the placeholder lovelace puts in when it can't find a custom card whenever the correct customElement is defined. It's handled by the view or stack cards to avoid having to reload everything at once (which caused the flashing before)

#

Did you notice that cardTools.litHtml() is now a function?

#

(If you're using that)

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

I did not...let me take a look

#

So I guess I'm not clear on how to use that now (just learning off your previous examples in fold-entity-row). My current render function looks like this:

  render() {
    return window.cardTools.litHtml`
        ${this._wrappedElement}
    `;
  }

#

What should that look like in the enw world?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

  render() {
    return cardTools.litHtml()`
        ${this._wrappedElement}
    `;
  }

#

The readme in the next-branch is also updated with new examples.

#

There are a few breaking changes. Sorry.

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

well, well, well...looks like we might be back up & running!

#

I'm going to run a few more tests, but it looks like everything is fine with .3 after the litHTML change. Thank you!

#

If you get a chance, I also wanted to call your attention to the issue I logged yesterday. Your default row type for climate is incorrectly set to toggle. Would it be possible to change to climate in the .3 release? Customizing climate happens to be my primary use case for secondary_info!

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

Of course. Thank you!

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

just updated to the latest version of HA and my lovelace frontend has completely disappeared

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

Great timing. Release of 0.86 is just hours away. Will it not load at all, or is it filled with different stuff?

potent fjord Jan 23, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

im trying to get theme loaded from themes/ folder, but it just keeps saying theme not defined. Can theme be loaded from yaml file, or do i need to add it to configuration.yaml ?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/frontend/#defining-themes

potent fjord Jan 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

https://pastebin.com/pXPu3PDN this my config

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

That should work so far

potent fjord Jan 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

made selector for it by youtube guide

#

automations : https://pastebin.com/Mis6s4nq

#

hass script check doesnt give any errors

#

then in theme folder i have material_dark_theme.yaml

hot gyro Jan 23, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

@raven nacelle does your demo dashboard work on a mobile device? or do you use a custom url?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

@potent fjord What's the first line of themes/material_dark_theme.yaml?

potent fjord Jan 23, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

i try to change, and get this : Theme material_dark_theme.yaml is not defined.

#

aha

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

You're welcome

potent fjord Jan 23, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

thnx, it says material_dark_green:

#

your are wiz @polar kelp 😃

raven nacelle Jan 23, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

@hot gyro demo.home-assistant.io works on mobile too for me

simple jolt Jan 23, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

Can we change the line color on the sensor card by using a template within customize_glob to change hs_color to diff variables depending on temperature? Or is the only way to set up themes for each sensor card?

hot gyro Jan 23, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

didnt check mine is downstairs so I thought I'll ask 😃

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

@simple jolt Themeing is the official way. Card-modder can probably do it too, though.

simple jolt Jan 23, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

@polar kelp yea don’t really want to create an entire theme just so I can have diff line colours.

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

I can fully sympathize with that. This might help: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-modder

sour crag Jan 23, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Hello, I am totally new to HA, and I am testing it out. I have got it up and running with KNX-support. (I have a lot of knx-equipment). According to what i have researched the "lovelace" UI is the way to go, and the Arelia-app is the best app(?). But I was wondering if it was possible to show a "dimming bar" for lights, directly in the UI, instead of just turning the light on and off? (If i click in the name i get a bar, but i want to do it directly).

split granite Jan 23, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-slider-entity-row is possibly what you're after

sour crag Jan 23, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

Thanks I will check that out

simple jolt Jan 23, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

@polar kelp would you know which element represents the line colour to use with card modder?

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 9:06 PM

#

Chrome object inspector

#

I think it's --accent-color...

mortal cape Jan 23, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

@simple jolt there's plenty of existing themes where you could simply modify what you want

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

And you can also define a theme with only a single variable. The rest will be filled in from the current user theme. But the point was to not have to do that.

#

Home Assistant 0.86 has been released. Lovelace is now officially the default UI!

forest mica Jan 23, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

so with lovelace becoming the new default UI what is going to happen with all the components that turn into yellow bars in lovelace?

winter hollow Jan 23, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

Yellow bars mean that the entity is not available

#

if you are in storage or yaml mode you should correct those yourself

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

Do you have an example? There are some components that add and remove entities dynamically.

winter hollow Jan 23, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

when in generated mode, check your group config for non existing entity's

forest mica Jan 23, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

thanks i was able to get them corrected.. i thought they were unsupported components..my setup non lovelace is pretty different from the lovelace version

#

almost want to migrate it again and updat eit

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

For plugin creators: card-tools has been updated to version 0.3. Breaking changes! Changelog at end of readme.
Updating should help get rid of the flashing interface bug.

timid burrow Jan 23, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

@weak flume it WAS the double quotes. I changed to single and it's working. Go figure....

#

@polar kelp custom-updater doesn't show the update yet

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

@polar kelp Thank you for the update! Just released the updated secondary_info plugin to go along with it.

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

@icy robin What secondary_info plugin?

icy robin Jan 23, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

https://github.com/MizterB/lovelace-secondaryinfo-entity-row/tree/master

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

@polar kelp when i try to load lovelace it just loads something that looks almost exactly like my frontend...i think it has autogenerated it and written over my old lovelace config

#

just seen that 0.86 has been released so will try that and see if it fixes things

polar kelp Jan 23, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

Yes. That is the default behavior. Your config is still safe. Check yaml mode in the docs. On mobile, can’t link.

radiant drum Jan 23, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

How will the new editor and custom cards work?

mild veldt Jan 23, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

You can edit the custom cards YAML for noe

#

And card creators can make editors

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

hassio still saying 0.85.1 is the latest version. Guessing 0.86 will become available tomorrow?

mild veldt Jan 23, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

Bram has put one out for the weather-card

#

But it is only for editing right now. Does not show as an option for a new card yet. That functionality will be added later.

radiant drum Jan 23, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

@mild veldt so i need to make a custom_cards.yaml for all my custom cards?

mild veldt Jan 23, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

No

#

The authors CAN make UI editors

winter wasp Jan 23, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

after upgrading to 0.86, the iOS app has started sometimes showing blank views until i force a refresh

winter hollow Jan 23, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

If they don’t you can edit the yaml from the UI

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

@icy robin Thanks for that plugin, waiting for a solution like this for a long time 😃 Finally I can put last_seen attribute of gmap device tracker under the name! Thanks!!!

mild veldt Jan 23, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

@icy robin you should add that to the list https://sharethelove.io/custom-resources/rows

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

so let me get this straight, lovelace no longer uses what's in your ui-lovelace.yaml file?

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

@mossy otter https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

oh awesome, thanks!

#

am guessing that custom components can't be used on the yaml mode?

#

non yaml mode rather

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

if you switch back to yaml mode, everything works as before

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

Can you use yaml mode AND use the editor in the frontend?

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

no

#

you would mess up your yaml, if it is allowed to use the ui editor

#

the structure and the comments, etc

#

so the ui editor is using a different file

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

makes sense

#

but custom resources will only work with the yaml mode right?

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

I dont think so, but have not tried it

#

check the blog

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

will do!

#

thanks for the help

vapid field Jan 23, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

you are welcome

winter hollow Jan 23, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

UI/storage mode has a raw yaml editor that allows to add custom resources

ornate mason Jan 23, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

Well, this is annoying. Conditional cards don't accept empty string for state and state_not.

mossy otter Jan 23, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

@winter hollow that sounds interesting. CAn you tell me a little more about that or point me towards some docs?

winter hollow Jan 23, 2019, 11:43 PM

@polar kelp fold-entity-row is broken with latest card tools

#

or maybe it's that I'm still on b3 - don't have release yet

mortal cape Jan 24, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

@timid burrow it's rare for qemux86-64 to be last. I think we got put on some list.

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

yeah I know right

#

lol

#

we are on the naughty-list

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:29 AM

#

anyone here use the darksky custom weather card?

#

when I enable tooltips: true on it the card dissapears in my frontend. dont know why. no error messages show in HA log

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

i am.. working for me

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

do you have the tooltips setting enabled?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

yes

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

damn, mind sharing your config for the card so I can have a look at it and see if I messed something up?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

sure..

#

https://codeshare.io/GL8qw6

#

I've really only changed some of the text positions and sizes. I can't edit anything at the moment because the card-tools is broken with 0.86.0b3 and I'm waiting for 0.86

#

all the tooltip stuff you highlighted is default

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

is card-tools required for this card?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

nope

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

hmm dont know why but as soon as I enable tooltips: true card dissapears again, even tried adding javascript: latest to config.yaml

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

you got the new version from today?

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:43 AM

#

yeah, just upgraded was actually a 0.8.2 version released as well. updated through tracker card and custom component buit the code is the same as on the github from what I can tell with a quick glance

#

same action in firefox and chrome with tooltips enabled

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:44 AM

#

ok. weird

#

I am using that one as well

#

m.p.frankland is on the forum right now.... he might reply

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:48 AM

#

ah last forum post helped me find an error thanks, will post in thread

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 1:48 AM

#

sweet!

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 1:51 AM

#

did you have to setup the slots for the tooltip popups to work?

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 1:54 AM

yes

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 1:55 AM

#

hmm...

#

im getting


Custom element doesn't exist: monster-card.
{
  "type": "custom:monster-card",

after restarting...

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

@dire salmon the migrate script is outdated and should not be used

#

Delete that file, remove yaml mode and restart

#

You'll then get an autogenerated view

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

and now it works must have missed some entity in the card

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

Select "Configure UI" from the top right and then raw config editor and you can copy the yaml into your ui-lovelace if you want to use yaml mode then

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 2:02 AM

#

@mild veldt I did it ages ago.... and have all my layouts and cards setup how i like them...

#

do i copy paste it after deleting the file ?

#

am confused..

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:04 AM

#

I see. It does look pretty old. Are you on 0.85 by chance?

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 2:04 AM

#

0.85.1

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

you have yaml mode activated?

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

I dont know

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

then no

#

so from the ui editor you added a monster card?

#

to add the resource you need to use the ui editor as well:
menu > configure ui > raw config editor

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

ooh I see

#

so it doesnt use the ui-lovelace file ?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

ui-lovelace.yaml is not used when you are not in yaml mode

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

aah I see I see

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

if not in yaml mode, your configuration will be managed by the system

#

all edits will be done from the ui

dire salmon Jan 24, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

great !

#

thanks very much 😃 working now

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

👍

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 2:10 AM

#

@tepid locust I haven't - just defaults. as I said I can't edit lovelace until I get 0.86

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

I got it fixed, I must have been missin and entity in my config for the card. once I copy pasted the entities from the github into my config it worked

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

sweet

tepid locust Jan 24, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

I was using a really old version up until yesterday evening

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

ah....

forest mica Jan 24, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

are packages going to work with lovelace?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

yes

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

just upgraded to 0.86 - haven't played with lovelace before... my UI is now a big mess... i previously had a tab on home page for each room - basically configured with groups. i seem to have no problems with the slugify issue or the time/time pattern thing. HA started fine - it's just that now HA picked what to show on an overview - which is a bunch of card like things, some cameras, and now tons of icons that i previously had organized in via groups. SO, i selected the Configure UI option and it throws an error - "Saving failed: Unknown error" - in the log, there's a really long error message starting with ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.websocket_api.http.connection.140176861739832] Error handling message: {'type': 'lovelace/config/save', followed by a long list of entities and then a trace back ending with: TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment. Anyone seen this and know how to workaround it?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

sounds like it's displaying a default states page... can you click on side panel and then i in dev tools and click try lovelace?

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

i don't seem to have anything in a side panel that says "try lovelace"

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

click i in dev tools down the bottom of the panel

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

in the dev tools area , i have 6 little icons - like i have always had - services, states, events, templates, mqtt, and Info. nothing says "try lovelace" - clicking into info, nothing there either... i think my error issue is a browser cache issue.. i opened HA w/ a different browser & i can get into the UI editor and the view i''m getting is not as messy as what i had originally

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

Info = i then look in the right at the bottom of dicplayed info

half osprey Jan 24, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

@hoary ginkgo it will be fixed in 86.1

#

It's a bug when going from auto configured to storage mode

#

I'll roll 86.1 in an hour or so

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

ah.... I might get 86.1 before 86.0 at this rate lol

half osprey Jan 24, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

@hoary ginkgo you can get into the buggy state if you open the browser, then restart HA and then click on configure UI

#

If you refresh browser before clicking configure, it will go all good

#

on 86.0

#

86.1 won't have this issue

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

OMG how did you even work that out! lol

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

@timid burrow - ok, i see what you mean now - still don't see that "try lovelace" option - but also verified what @half osprey said... so i can get to the configure UI in original browser now

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

does it say states instead? It's because of what balloob said.. a bug..

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

yes, ok - wasn't realizing that was related to the bug too - thanks

forest mica Jan 24, 2019, 5:00 AM

#

anyone having problem with thermostat card?? mines just a small dot insteead of a thermostat

#

nvmnd its only config mod

#

e

#

how come lovelace doesnt auto update new automations or scripts? or entities?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 5:13 AM

#

because it's a clean break between frontend and backend

#

and you can display whatever you want to be displayed

forest mica Jan 24, 2019, 5:14 AM

#

i like how you can remove old entities very easily but i feel it will be tricky to find new stufff. but i do see the unused entities page so that will help

#

i was wondering if it was my config choice

half osprey Jan 24, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

86.1 has been released with the lovelace fix @hoary ginkgo

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

qemux86?

half osprey Jan 24, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

🤷 I don't manage that one

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

thanks

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 5:19 AM

#

hahahaha... I bet @mortal cape we'd see 86.1 before 0.86... usually see that almost immediately actually when you post

forest mica Jan 24, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

should i change from storage to auto generated?

half osprey Jan 24, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

whatever you like

#

If you want to be in control, you can use storage mode

forest mica Jan 24, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

well i just added a view.. but how i can change the order? i tried to add it manually in the raw config but couldnt get it to refresh

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

cut and paste.... when you save it will auto refresh

half osprey Jan 24, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

Just a note, Lovelace does not support having two tabs open and making changes in one and seeing it live update in the other

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 6:37 AM

#

@polar kelp seems that the folding row card is not working since new card tools and it's not working with 0.86.1 either.. I was waiting for 0.86.0 to test (I'm on b3 at the moment) but report on forum that still not working in 0.86.1

eager pollen Jan 24, 2019, 7:14 AM

#

Is there anyway to "import" a yaml lovelace ui to then use the online editing tool to make changes/future updates?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 7:14 AM

#

yes - just cut and paste it in raw mode editor

eager pollen Jan 24, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

Thanks @timid burrow

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

sure

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

I’ll take a look at that @timid burrow. Thank you.

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

no thank you for the great cards!

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 8:29 AM

#

Hi. Just updated to the newest version with Lovelace as default UI. All my light, presence detection entities are gone. Is that because I can’t use !include lights.yaml anymore? Hope it makes sense

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 8:34 AM

#

@vapid field include in lovelace? If you want that you need to use yaml mode

#

lovelace:
  mode: yaml

in config yaml

old karma Jan 24, 2019, 8:48 AM

#

Is it possible to make a button, script or something that could refresh lovelace like in the dot menu?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

Yes. But it's not easy.

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

hey guys, if I edit lovelace via the UI editor where does it save the config?

#

nevermind found it config/.storage/lovelace

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 9:38 AM

#

(don't poke at it)

#

(unless you know what you're doing)

#

(or really want to)

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 9:39 AM

#

just wanted to make sure it was a file I could backup before I went crazy editing 😃

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 9:43 AM

#

Sure. That works. Or you could copy out of the raw editor, I guess.

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 9:43 AM

#

thats true, I run duplicati to automatically backup

#

I was confused by where it was saving it

#

so long as its a file Im good

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 9:55 AM

#

@timid burrow I think fold-entity-row should be fixed now.

old karma Jan 24, 2019, 10:16 AM

#

@polar kelp , can you give me a hint how the refresh can be done?
I'm having an old tablet with chrome in kiosk mode and there the refresh menue doesn't work with touch.
Don't know why, always have to vnc to it and refresh.

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

input booleans are not supported on lovelace?

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 10:21 AM

#

what do you mean by not supported? mine work fine

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 10:28 AM

#

ahh possibly they've changed name from input_boolean to something else?

#

this is what happens when I don't update for a long time...

#

hmmm doesn't look like input_booleans have changed name yet I can't see mine at all...

timber peak Jan 24, 2019, 10:35 AM

#

input_booleans broke in my install too.

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 10:35 AM

#

0.86?

timber peak Jan 24, 2019, 10:35 AM

#

Yes

#

Upgraded from 0.84.x to 0.86

#

Some includes had to be moved back to configuration.yaml too

#

And I removed some automations, but they still come as error messages during hassio ha restart, even though I removed them from lovelace and config-files.

#

This was really a breaking release for me.

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 10:39 AM

#

ah that's a shame

#

always one step forward two steps back for me

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:46 AM

#

@old karma It requires a plugin, possibly using card-tools and this function: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-tools#fireevent

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

what file am I supposed to edit to edit the lovelace UI in the new version? Only thing I see is a file called lovelace in storage

placid geyser Jan 24, 2019, 10:51 AM

#

Is it possible to move a view (left or right) in the UI or only in YAML?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

Know what, @old karma . I'll just add it to browser-commander for you.

#

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-browser-commander#lovelace-reload here you go

old karma Jan 24, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

Thanks @polar kelp , just want to write that VNC is easier for me. 😄
You are GREAT!

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 11:21 AM

#

@placid geyser no, not yet possible in the UI

placid geyser Jan 24, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

Thanks @winter hollow

timber peak Jan 24, 2019, 12:04 PM

#

@mossy otter Solved it - Removed /config/.storage/core.restore_state and /config/.storage/lovelace - Still has some issues, but the input_booleans are back atleast.

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

@timber peak interesting!! What further issues are you having?

cerulean scarab Jan 24, 2019, 12:30 PM

#

Hey guys, so I'm playing around with lovelace, and trying to have a default_view that's family proof, and hoping that I can have another tab that continues to auto-generate an entry for everything, A tab I'll call "Advanced" which would essentially be an auto mode copy of the original default_view. Anyone done something similar?

subtle rune Jan 24, 2019, 12:44 PM

#

@cerulean scarab As of right now you can't keep on autogenerating when you've taken control yourself

vital void Jan 24, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

before I had customize_domain assumed_state: false to get the slider switch for *.switches, how do I do that in lovelace?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 1:31 PM

#

That should still work

vital void Jan 24, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

I figured, I removed all customize from the config.yaml file and deleted the domain stuff as well, sorry. works again

#

but another question, there are some entities that dont have the cogweel option to edit name. I could do it by toggle editor, but is it expected behavior that it only works for some?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

Yes, only for entities that have an unique id I believe

#

or that are in the entity registry

scenic lantern Jan 24, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

Anyone know how to get the configurator dialogs to show up in Lovelace?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

There are three dots in the top right corner. Click them and select "Configure UI"

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

https://github.com/custom-cards/upcoming-media-card <-So I was trying to add this to HA now that lovelace is out, but... Where's the config file for lovelace? The ui-lovelace.yaml doesn't exist

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

There are three dots in the top right corner. Click them and select "Configure UI"

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

raw config editor?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

Then in the same menu click raw editor

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

okay

#

can I put the resources there as well or should they be somewhere else?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:02 PM

#

No, resources go there

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

Hi, a quick question: with the new lovelace UI configuration, should it be possible to have the same power as with the ui-lovelace.yaml file ? For instance in the sense of custom lovelace components and styles ? Thanks!

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

yes

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

and the customs components I add through the UI configuration will be mantained automatically ?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

What do you mean with "maintained"?

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

the updater for custom lovelace components

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

Then no.

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

but I see that in the end I do have the raw editor

#

there I believe I can reference resources as in the old ui-lovelace.yaml

#

https://demo.home-assistant.io/

#

in the name: Kingia Castle

#

how is - type: 'custom:ha-demo-card' referenced?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

The only way to add a custom card to the configuration (at this point) is through the raw editor.

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

yes, but in the sample there are no resources defined

#

name: Kingia Castle
resources: []
views:

cards:
- type: 'custom:ha-demo-card'
- cards:
  - cards:
    - style:
      border-radius: 20px
      box-shadow: '3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.4)'
      border: 'solid 1px rgba(100,100,100,0.3)'
      overflow: hidden
      type: 'custom:card-modder'
      card:

#

I don't see any resource there

#

in my local configuration (yaml) I have:
resources:

url: /local/custom-lovelace/card-tools.js?v=0
type: js
url: /local/custom-lovelace/card-modder.js?v=1c480b
type: module

#

how should I reference them ?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

The same way. The demo had to use some weird tricks to get everything to work. One of them is to import card-modder natively. Unfortunately

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

thanks bramkragten, I think I'm getting the hang of this!

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

on the lovelace UI editor...toggle editor is always blanked out

#

is there a way to activate that?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Toggle editor?

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

I mean every time I create something new on my lovelace UI it requires me to type it in yaml

#

one sec i'll grab a screenshot

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

That happens for cards that don't have an editor yet. Try e.g. the Entities card.

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

https://imgur.com/a/r9WlAxW

#

ahh gotcha

#

Ideally, I'd like to do half raw yaml, half editor but am guessing that feature doesn't exist yet right?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

Getting there

#

It's a big project. The work done so far is incredible.

#

any idea what's wrong with this? Worked fine on my yaml config before so can't really see what's wrong with it now?

}

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

@wise storm What is white? The button? The menu? The interface?

#

@mossy otter Conditions should be a list

wise storm Jan 24, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

@polar kelp The menu on the top right side. The three dots. When the dropdown menu shows displaying unused entities and help, the middle selection is white. Tried looking in the code for any html there, and it's just empty.

#

@polar kelp When I click the white button, something from what I understand is a lightbox shows up that is just white.

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

thanks @polar kelp got it working now!

wise storm Jan 24, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

Just noticed that also the notification boxes in the bottom left corner that shows a call has been done doesn't contain any text. It's just a black box.

#

This shows up in the log: "https://siteurl-redacted/frontend_es5/58305e17c69452ef67b3.chunk.js:233:70632 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isRTL' of undefined"

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

That's... interesting...

#

Is your interface by any chance in a language that's written right to left?

#

And do you see the same behavior here? https://demo.home-assistant.io

wise storm Jan 24, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

@polar kelp Nope, language is in English. The demo site works fine.

#

How is it with groups btw. Would they cause issues with lovelace? I have a lot of entities sorted in group configs.

proper crater Jan 24, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

Hey, I must be dumb or simple, but, how on earth do I set up Columns in Lovelace?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

@wise storm No, they shouldn't.

#

@proper crater Columns in glance card? https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/glance/

proper crater Jan 24, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

No, three individual columns with whichever cards I specify in each. Can't get my head around it.

#

Trying to get the layout to work perfectly on Fire tablet I'm going to be mounting.

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

That's something that is not possible yet... for now the cards are placed in columns based on the height of the card to spread them evenly

#

or you could create a view consisting of stacks

proper crater Jan 24, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

Ah, OK.

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

with the view set to panel

proper crater Jan 24, 2019, 2:48 PM

How would one go about doing that? That sounds ideal.

Hey guys -- If I add a view in LoveLace from the UI, do I have to restart HA before I can move cards to it?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 2:49 PM

#

No

#

You never have to restart Home Assistant for a edit in Lovelace

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:50 PM

#

I tried to get slider-entity-row to work. Where should I put the .js file? I get this error that the custom element doesn't exist

if you just created www restart home assistant

indigo fossil Jan 24, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

@proper crater have you tried use the vertical stack? https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/vertical-stack/

#

that's how I define columns

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

I got another plugin to work but not this for some reason. I'll read up on that link and see if I can figure it out

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

There's also some debugging instructions in there.

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

this part is correct though? ```resources:

type: js
url: /local/custom-lovelace/upcoming-media-card/upcoming-media-card.js
type: js
url: /local/custom-lovelace/slider-entity-row/slider-entity-row.js```

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

Looks fine

proper crater Jan 24, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

This is making no sense to me. Is this code correct to make these two lights show next to each other? If so, why does it insist on them being on top of each other when I save it?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

My guess: Because of bad indentation, but that's impossible to tell without code formating

#

~format

Just update to 0.86, when i try to edit UI i get Saving failed: Unknown error

It just puts them on top of each other. And if I enter true for panel, it disappears completely.

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:03 PM

I'm not sure, but try adding two more spaces before each line after cards:...

indigo fossil Jan 24, 2019, 3:03 PM

yeah, it might be indentation

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 3:05 PM

No luck.

thanks thomas, got it to work. Hadn't downloaded the raw version and when I did it still wouldn't work until I added ?v=1 to the file path. I guess that forces it to re-cache it to hass or something?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

yep

untold magnet Jan 24, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

Not sure on Lovelace, it must be working because it shows up as default in the URL but I can’t edit the ‘cards’ from the UI and there’s no .yaml files I can see relating to Lovelace UI

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

To enter edit mode click the three dots in the upper right corner and select Configure UI.

untold magnet Jan 24, 2019, 3:13 PM

Ive just tried that and clicked on ‘Take Control’ and another popup comes up saying 192.168.1.63:8123 Saving failed. Unknown error

#

Just refreshed the page and all's good, thanks

tired quail Jan 24, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

i haven't paid attention to yaml mode in lovelace. can you use !include in yaml mode now?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Yes

#

The entire family of !include functions, in fact. And !secret

tired quail Jan 24, 2019, 3:16 PM

👍 thanks. I'm not planning to use it myself, but wanted to confirm if others asked 😃

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:16 PM

@untold magnet update to 0.86.1

or restart home assistant

Or you had it fixed 😃

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 3:17 PM

there's a 0.86.1 already? 0.86.0 wiped my built-in lovelace setup 😦

not giving me the option for 0.86.1 yet, still on 0.86.0

@violet talon wiped?

#

I don't think it did...

what version are you comming from?

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 3:18 PM

as in everything I set up is gone and now there's a single page with every sensor

#

0.85.1

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

@violet talon Your configuration is still safe

#

You need to switch to yaml mode

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

I wasn't using yaml mode before

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:19 PM

Oh. From 0.85? Never mind then.

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:19 PM

Are you in storage mode?

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 3:19 PM

I thought the built-in editor was the "hot and new" and the way to go

#

yeah

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

@violet talon you didn't get an error somewhere? In the logs?

hoary ginkgo Jan 24, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

@violet talon @mossy otter - i saw similar things last night - per tab arrangements from prior to 0.86 were gone... try reloading your browser page. if your HA page was open during & through to the upgrade that seems to be related to this. or even use a different browser and you should see the view restore to something more organized looking.

simple jolt Jan 24, 2019, 3:23 PM

@polar kelp that is from my phone.

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:24 PM

@polar kelp you should get your own channel for your custom components 😛

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

@winter hollow nothing out of the ordinary in my logs

#

and strangely enough everything is back to normal

#

even though my phone and an incognito window were showing the "single view with every sensor"

#

I deleted and recreated the container 🤷

#

oh, I spoke too soon

#

it actually copied my "States UI" over to lovelace

#

so my .storage lovelace config is gone

#

(which again ins't a big deal because I have a backup)

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

does the old groups.yaml define anything in lovelace?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

your lovelace in .config can't just disapear?

#

Yes, in automated mode

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:30 PM

That yes ☝ was for you, @civic stream

Is that the mode I disabled when I clicked the dots to edit it visually, in the UI?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:32 PM

yes

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:32 PM

yes

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:32 PM

Now you're in "storage mode"

If I would like to backup this whole UI config that I now make, is there I file or so..?

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 3:33 PM

@winter hollow well it was. it's like I'd never used lovelace before and migrated my states ui to lovelace

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:33 PM

You can copy paste it from the raw editor

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:33 PM

@polar kelp I found the below. Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: cardTools is not defined at customElements.whenDefined.then (state-switch.js?v=c7dd70

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Why doesn't the "main switch" for a card do anything to the switches in the card? I have this problem for a card I've created where I list all my rooms (as yaml-defined groups) so that each room has a switch to turn all the lights in the room off. Before lovelace, the main switch for the card could turn off (or on) all lights in all rooms. Now nothing happens. Anyone has an idea why?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

Can you share the config?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

Use a light group

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Can't since I want it to also control electrical switches in the walls and on outlets, that are not defined as lights in HA

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

@simple jolt Does your log also say that card tools is installed? In green

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

@civic stream use the new light switch

#

Was in 0.85 I think

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:39 PM

And is that before or after what you found?

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.switch/

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:40 PM

@mild veldt switching a group should also work right?

It should

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

If it doesn't that would be a bug?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

It would

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

I’m just saying that a light group makes more sense

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

iantrich: thanks, didnt know about that component

#

It did, however, work before.. Without using light switch

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

🤷

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

bramkragten: The actual groups in the card works individually, even if they are switches, it's just the "card main switch" that does nothing

#

Would share a picture but cant get it into discord

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:43 PM

ok, can you create an issue for that?

@simple jolt do you have card tools installed?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:47 PM

@polar kelp you should make card tools a npm

toggling groups with the header toggle yeah

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:50 PM

Ok, nice! But what about groups in general, is there any way to define them like you did in groups.yaml?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

For display? No. What’s your use case?

#

monster-card May be an option

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

Hm... why did that ever work? I updated card-tools, @simple jolt. Please try with the new version 297fcc7.

#

/** Domains where we allow toggle in Lovelace. */
export const DOMAINS_TOGGLE = new Set([

  "input_boolean",
  "light",
  "switch",

#

so groups should be added, anything else?

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

Well, before I kind of grouped sensors together to not have to add all of them individually to the config if I used them multiple times. But maybe you're right, theres no need for that

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

you can not toggle a sensor right?

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

No, but I can display them

In the UI

simple jolt Jan 24, 2019, 3:57 PM

@polar kelp updating card tools worked. Thanks again.

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 3:58 PM

@civic stream you’ll just add them manually now

No group needed

But if you wanted ALL sensors in a card, you could check out the monster-card

If you wish to divide your Lovelace config you can specify yaml mode

How does it not work with configuration.yaml

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

#

Are you talking about the light group?

#

Or actual Lovelace views/cards

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

Both. I assume you can use the light groups when defining cards in lovelace?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

Light groups are a component, I.e. backend. They are defined in your configuration.yaml

#

Lovelace displays entities but is not defined in configuration.yaml

#

Yes, ok.

Well, the groups did, aparently 😛

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 4:11 PM

Hi everyone !
I've a little problem with the map card
It seems both device_tracker are located as it centers on my home but I can't have the picture or even the circle which should mark the device location
Any idea ?

civic stream Jan 24, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

docs don't look like the preconfigured text in the UI-editor..

#

no dash before type: for example

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

That will be the only difference. The examples are full yaml while card is a snippet. The dash is there, just not shown

#

@vapid field device trackers are not displayed when home on a map

@mild veldt yeah I cleared cache/all application data in the browser

I think the issue is not LL related. This seems to be related https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/18056

@mild veldt ok ! thx

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

and hopefully, https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/20314 will fix it

#

It used to work....not sure what went wrong

scenic lantern Jan 24, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

@raven nacelle maybe, didn't have the issue yesterday though.

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

this issue has been there for a while. I did not experience it initially, but have experienced it off late

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

You could downgrade to be sure

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

@scenic lantern that would be a good test to rule out that it is not LL related

scenic lantern Jan 24, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

@mild veldt true I try that.

#

I'll

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

weirdly enough, I am using Synology cameras and I am not even sure if it is FFMPEG related

scenic lantern Jan 24, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

@raven nacelle @mild veldt false alarm. Looks like my Synology locked up my non-synology cameras are working.

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

ok...I am also experiencing with Synology. What do you mean by locked up?

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

@mild veldt I simulated if one of the device were far away.... it doesn't seems to change anything

#

what should i have in the device_tracker.xxxxx ? only gps coord is enough ?

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

@scenic lantern What do you mean by locked up?

scenic lantern Jan 24, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

@raven nacelle actually I think I am wrong. I have an open issue with Synology where my system locks up and I can't access it. I thought I couldn't but now it looks like I can. So back to the downgrade test

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 4:49 PM

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

can I make one entity in a card conditional?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

Like a conditional row? Not in official, might be a custom for it...

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

yeah

#

okay. I was thinking a media_player that would only show up in the card if needed

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

It would be possible in official I guess, with some hacking

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

You’re thinking hui-entity-row inside hui-conditional-card inside entities?

#

@dreamy tendon look up entity-filter

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

the terms are still new to me so I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for. I'll take a look at that

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

It’s in the side bar in the lovelace docs

#

A card

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking @polar kelp

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

the problem is that it'll make all other devices that are "off" to disappear as well as the media_player? I'd like to keep those visible

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Then I’d recommend the most common entry point into the world of plugins: monster-card

dreamy tendon Jan 24, 2019, 5:27 PM

#

okay, I'll take a look

#

can I have a custom entity (mini-media-player) inside a custom monster-card? 😄

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

No. But I’m thinking of a replacement where tht would work.

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 5:48 PM

Is it possible to have a card take up more horizontal space than one third?

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 5:53 PM

#

I have created my Lovelace UI with the migration add on and I see it in /config/ui-Lovelace.yaml, but when I edit it directly from the frontend, I can’t see the yaml file modified... it’ still the same. Is there another yaml file somewhere else? What am I missing here?

subtle rune Jan 24, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

If you use the frontend edit mode it will be stored in a folder called .storage.. The yaml-file will not be used. If you want to use the yaml file you will have to activate yaml mode for Lovelace and no longer edit in gui.

#

Hi guys, I'm trying to have a (temperature) card in lovelace that is only shown, when the temperature is below a certain value. Is that possible?

#

@vapid field You can achive this using this info: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

@carmine radish have you looked in to conditional cards?

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

the default conditional card does state or not_state

#

it doesn't do less than as far as I can tell

carmine radish Jan 24, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

@mossy otter Yes, however it looks like the conditional card does not cover my case.

#

I tried something like - type: conditional conditions: - below: '3' entity_id: sensor.temp1_temperature platform: numeric_state

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

ah yes, it seems it's a bit restrictive

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

how about monster card? that has a when

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

bit of a work around but what about an input_boolean that goes on when the temp goes under a certain temp, and the lovelace card taking the input_boolean being on as it's condition

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

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

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

monster-card is also great!

carmine radish Jan 24, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

Two good ideas! Thanks, will try them 😃

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

@subtle rune thank you...

violet talon Jan 24, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

I'd probably do an input_bool based on a number slider and throw that under a settings section so I could adjust it right from the front end

#

Thanks!

Just upgraded from 85.1 to 86.1. I have an automation and device tracker that say "Entity not available" on the main screen. How do I fix this? I'm not familiar with lovelace at all.

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

@supple raft Just check the entity name that you have configured.

#

Entity not available means that you have specified an entity that is not avialable

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

You have that entity in your groups probably

supple raft Jan 24, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

Yes, they are in my groups.yaml

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

So you should fix it there or take control of Lovelace

supple raft Jan 24, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

Guess I'm confused. Do I fix it in group.yaml or ui-lovelace.yaml?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

You don’t have a ui-lovelace.yaml do you?

#

Have you configured Lovelace to be in yaml mode?

supple raft Jan 24, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

I do have a ui-lovelace.yaml that was created by the conversion tool. Do I put lovelace in yaml mode in the configuration.yaml?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

Well, the conversion was not necessary, and you can remove the ui-lovelace.yaml

#

It is auto generating you Lovelace layout for you now

mossy otter Jan 24, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

is there any way to avoid the issue that entity filter has that it does'nt display the icons of the entitites unless you refresh the page?

supple raft Jan 24, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

Ok.

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

If you want it to keep doing that but want to get rid of the yellow warnings, remove the entities from your groups

#

Otherwise, click the Configure UI button in the top right

#

Take control and edit the Lovelace UI

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

too many options...

supple raft Jan 24, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Ok. I've taken control. How do I let HA have control over lovelace again?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

remove ./storage/lovelace

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

But that will give you the yellow warnings again

supple raft Jan 24, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

I want to get the yellow warning signs fixed. Both exist and HA isn't having any problem with them on the separate tabs I'm using.

How do I use custom cards via the Lovelace UI ?
If not possible, should I create the ui-lovelace.yaml (I don’t have it at the moment) and I won’t be able to work via the Lovelace UI ?

Why the push for an interface at all. I never want to manage my homeassistant from the interface. It's supposed to be invisible. Is lovelace using resources if I don't open the management interface and if so can I disable it?

split granite Jan 24, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

Not really, and no

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

You can disable the front end component

split granite Jan 24, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

That used to disable the API...

#

Ah, cool, api is separate, but needs http: still

#

Disabling the frontend buys you nothing, and makes getting help rather challenging, as many of the things you'll be asked can only be found in the UI

untold gyro Jan 24, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

Seems odd. My only use for the front end is to easily see the system log and to reload when developing scripts. I could tail homeassistant.log instead. If the UI is only demand driven then I suppose there's no point in disabling it. Thanks.

Hello, new HA user (hass.io on an RPI), first login to Discord, first question...:-) I think I've done all of the "before you ask" things... and I'm tired of beating my head against the wall and would like to move on to learning something else. My problem is that I cannot get any custom cards to work in Lovelace. They all display the "Custom element doesn't exist:" error. I suspect that means that there is a permissions issue or something, but I also don't see anything related in the HA log. I don't know if being a hassio setup has an effect or where to check. Would love a nudge in the right direction...

timid burrow Jan 24, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

so remove the yaml mode entry from config

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

@timid burrow ok will try

naive bear Jan 24, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

First time post on Discord. I've just upgraded to 0.86.1 and was expecting Lovelace to be the default UI as suggested by the release notes. However, I still just see the standard UI. Do I need to set Lovalace as the default UI in the developer information page?

split granite Jan 24, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

It is the default now, it'll just look like the old UI by default

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

or you should refresh 😃

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

@timid burrow deleted mode: yaml, enabled UI editor, copied data from ui-lovelace.yaml, everything fine, THANK YOU

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

Oh boy this UI editor just made me excited to use Home Assistant again!

naive bear Jan 24, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

I see that it is now. Just deciding now whether I should "take control" or leave automatic

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

UI editor is great!!!

#

Take control

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

And thanks to the Demo on the Hassio website I can cheat a little 😃

naive bear Jan 24, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

I'm fairly new and have read about custom Lovelace cards. Can these be used in the UI editor?

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

Yes

naive bear Jan 24, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

Thanks

wary quest Jan 24, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

how do I clean up the ui to start clean? My ui is showing all my entities

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

I guess remove them by hand

winter hollow Jan 24, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

replace your config in the raw editor with:

views: []

winter wasp Jan 24, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

hey @polar kelp do your latest cards (ie, state-switch) have an option to auto update?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

They work with the custom_updater

winter wasp Jan 24, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

i'm an idiot, they showed up when i forced a refresh

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

Is there a way to display data from within a sensor directly on an entity card?

#

Or better said displaying attributes directly on an entity card

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Indeed....we need a way to display attributes on cards, instead of having to creating a separate sensor for every entity to be displayed

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Hey! I felt like making a lovelace plugin that actually is visible for once, not just weird stuff that's hard to explain...

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

So it's not yet possible?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Anyone want a color wheel card?

📎 Skarmavbild_2019-01-24_kl._23.44.08.png

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

Cause I saw the FritzBox component, added it, then realized those are all just attributes

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-color-picker

winter wasp Jan 24, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

there's https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace/tree/master/entity-attributes-card

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

what are you doing @polar kelp? get back in your utility cave!

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

Yeah but it's not a "fancy looking" solution 😃

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

something like that should be part of HA @winter wasp

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

sorry

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

and that card is not as fancy 😜

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

@kindred dirge useful-markdown-card perhaps? https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-useful-markdown-card

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

I guess I'll just wait for official attribute support 😉

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

Or is there a way which makes it possible to make sensors out of attributes?

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

templates

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

template sensors

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Will have to read into that

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/sensor.template/

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

The template components pretty much lets you make anything out of anything.

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

Just kinda hard to understand when not a programmer

#

Like, I want to grab infos from the FritzBox sensor attributes but I'm not sure how to start

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

Find examples to start

#

Then look at attributes available for your device

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

@kindred dirge I have ton of examples https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/sensor.yaml#L253 for your inspiration

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

King of templates

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

This one https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/sensor.yaml#L350 for example, creates a sensor for the power used by Wemo switches using the current_power_w attribute

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

As for HA displaying attributes in cards, sure, sounds easy. Until people want advanced stuff like substrings and changing to percentages and what not or adding units. Can get messy really fast and is why we have template sensors

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

Is there any way to stop HA reporting the use of multiple sensor tags as an error? I like to organize things by putting them "into their own little block" just so if I decide to move something around in the future there it won't break anything

#

And since the config is still valid then why is it reporting an error

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

Well, we can stick to our no-template for LL stance, but simple attributes would be nice to have.

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

@kindred dirge not really a LL question but check out Frencks config

kindred dirge Jan 24, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

Ah whoops lol

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

@kindred dirge https://github.com/frenck/home-assistant-config/blob/master/README.md

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

but I see your point, given that there is no cost of creating a template sensor, we can just use them

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

I think a template sensor UI editor would ease a lot of the pain

raven nacelle Jan 24, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

and attributes can be used in other cards too....for example, humidity from thermostats on picture elements

polar kelp Jan 24, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

@kindred dirge You can use a second word like sensor light_sensors: and sensor door_sensors:.

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Since Lovelave isn't using yaml anymore (default) how do you add components like homekit(and others) in Lovelave?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Lovelace is just the front end

#

All your components are still in configuration.yaml or integrations

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

With Lovelace we’re taking a new approach to building user interfaces for Home Assistant. We’re no longer storing the look and feel of your UI in your configuration.yaml

So this if fake news or am I misinterpreting this ?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

You are misinterpreting it

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

Ok, thanks

#

@mild veldt If I add homekit: to my configuration it doesn't show me the pin like it used to-do. Any advice ?

mild veldt Jan 24, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

Pin?

#

To configure it?

#

Check your notifications

vapid field Jan 24, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

@mild veldt my bad. Seems I have to delete the HomeKit_store in order to add it again. Would be nice if someone is able to make this as a integration.

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

Hey guys, trying to add a custom card to my config, lovelace in storage mode, on Hass.io

#

I've added config\www, and restarted HA. I've added monster-card.js to this directory, and added the following in raw config editor

#

resources:

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

#

getting the red box saying there is no monster-card.js

#

thinking I'm missing something simple, lol

thick dagger Jan 25, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

do you still use the groups yaml for the lovelace groups?

#

we renamed the tab in the configUI but how do I change the order of the tabs

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

@cerulean scarab did you save the card in raw mode from github?

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

@timid burrow sure did, copy and paste text only into ide

#

was getting a 404 for /local/monster-card.js in chrome developer view, so I changed the resources: section to remove /local/ now that chrome error is gone from developer console, but still can't call the card.

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:31 AM

#

it's not supposed to be a module by any chance?

#

instead of js?

#

you have to have /local BTW

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:32 AM

#

maybe, but not according to his README.md https://github.com/ciotlosm/custom-lovelace

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

eg..

  - url: /local/card-tools.js?v=297fcc
    type: js

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

thanks, will put /local back. so /local is a symlink of sorts to config/www ?

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

yes!

#

it is

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

❗

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

ouch!

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

cool and card-tools is config/www/card-tools.js on disk?

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

that hurt @mortal cape

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

I was just joining in

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

lol

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

it was not a slight

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

yeah it is @cerulean scarab

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

I started putting all mine in www/custom_cards but now I don't know if that was right

buoyant portal Jan 25, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

my www folder is a mess!

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

Does the custom card updater expect them to be in a certain directory?

#

Or...the custom card update notifier card I mean

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

I don't think so - it just reads the version number

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

ok

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

some custom cards have hardwired the folder

#

my www isn't a mess but some cards are in that folder and some are in sub-folders

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:37 AM

#

@timid burrow ha, I remember trying to convince you that lovelace was worth using and here I am asking you questions now

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:37 AM

#

and custom updater is happy - it's only reading the json from the repo and the version number from ui-lovelace.yaml

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

At the time you were all "nah I don't really have a use for that"

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

hahaha!!!!!! You know I was thinking about my earlier indifference to lovelace - but the additional stuff they put in makes it great now

#

I KNOW!!!!!!

#

hahahahaha

buoyant portal Jan 25, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

That's what I meant by mess @timid burrow I'm thinking I need to clean it up into sub-folders, having images and .js files and random stuff in there makes it look like a mess 😂

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

I have been using it for months now... only took a few custom cards to convert me

buoyant portal Jan 25, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

I jumped in from the start and I'm really enjoying it. Might even move to the UI editor instead of yaml

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

it just depends on if the folder is hardwired @buoyant portal so just be careful

buoyant portal Jan 25, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

Thanks

#

Some of the custom cards are amazing.

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

well I still use the YAML but I'm configured for the UI editor.... I just load UI editor and go to raw and cut and paste the yaml if I am doing major changes

#

so best of all possible worlds

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

Hah, fixed it, had the file misnamed

#

moster != monster

buoyant portal Jan 25, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

sounds like a good idea

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

yeah.. some great stuff there

#

lol @cerulean scarab - always a reason

#

lol

#

I really really hate that the raw editor is not IDENTICAL in format as the yaml one - if it was I would ditch the yaml in a heartbeat but it just mangles it which is a total PITA

buoyant portal Jan 25, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

That's a shame

#

I stick to yaml because I know it. I feel comfortable in its embrace

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:43 AM

#

it just reorganises everything

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:43 AM

#

yea, and not having a working tab/shift tab function

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:44 AM

#

well yaml seems to set it out logically and with the raw editor it moves the keys around and moves stuff to the bottom of the card that you expect to be at the top.... like the TITLE and CARD type for example...

#

so I find it good to use yaml for major stuff but if it's just minor I can do the gui and also update the yaml

mortal cape Jan 25, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

I like the UI + raw editor just fine. Some awkwardness but it will improve over time I would expect

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

i guess it will... they will probably kill the yaml at some point

#

I don't understand why they didn't just write the raw editor to look like the yaml one

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 1:51 AM

#

guessing there's challenges to letting users do raw config without over complicating the gui stuff

#

thinks that's why the reformatting happens

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 1:53 AM

#

also @mortal cape if you use custom updater, just be aware it updates the version number in the yaml file and you need to manually update it in the GUI...

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:02 AM

#

@timid burrow what yaml editor are you talking about?

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:02 AM

#

um.... the lovelace raw editor unless I am misunderstanding your question

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:03 AM

#

"I don't understand why they didn't just write the raw editor to look like the yaml one"

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:03 AM

#

oh... well the yaml editor... not the yaml editor just the data format

#

there is no yaml editor

#

I meant the data format

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

I don't follow? Do you mean that things get reorganized on save?

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

yes.. like it totally reorganises the order of everything when you save

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

That's just the nature of the parser we use. Nothing can be done about that

#

The raw editor is not really for day to day edits

#

Should really only need it to add resources

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

like the title of the card and the card type get shunted down to the end instead of being at the top and it's almost impossible to do a vertical stack and get the format right in the raw editor

#

so how do you add stacks using the gui editor?

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

Vertical stack is a hard one

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

right! lol

#

that's why I am still cutting and pasting yaml

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

Hopefully we can come up with a good UI editor in time

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

which I would like to not have to do anymore

#

well that would be great... I know you are working on improving it which is great and it's awesome but it's not easy to edit stuff unless you use yaml

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

For stacks, agreed. All in good time

#

should start seeing editors for custom cards as well

#

weather-card already has one

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

that's nice... the m.p.frankland one or a different one?

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

Brams

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

gotcha - he has done some awesome stuff. him and Thomas... so good

mild veldt Jan 25, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

Lots of great custom devs

timid burrow Jan 25, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

yeah. so true.

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

So i've now got one tab that's auto-generating (using several monster-cards) so I can have an Advanced tab while still having the main tab be family friendly

#

It's not the same as the old default-view, but it'll do for now

cloud osprey Jan 25, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

Hey, can anyone tell me how to configure a glance card, so that when I tap the entity it toggles the switch. I have both Hue light bulbs and smart plug entities on the card.

cerulean scarab Jan 25, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

@cloud osprey you can define a tap action for each entity

#

looks like tap_action: toggle aught to do it

#

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

#

full disclaimer, haven't done it

#

oh my syntax is off

#

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

#

the last example has a tap toggle

cloud osprey Jan 25, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

Yeah I saw that on the help page, I have be able to set this up on another glance card and it works, but not for this one.

#

i forgot how to isert screen shots on here

devout onyx Jan 25, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

You need to declare it as an object.

#

so instead of
