#

@errant plover Should I add the information in the card directly?

#

If I am adding any of the information I am getting this "error":
YAML Error: YAMLException: end of the stream or a document separator is expected at line 2, column 1: - type: history-graph ^

#

And also Entities need to be an array

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 11:23 AM

#

What does your config look like?

vapid field Feb 10, 2019, 11:23 AM

#

What config?

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 11:24 AM

#

For your history graph..

vapid field Feb 10, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

I have none as I do not understand how I should add it. If I am using the example in:
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/history-graph/#example

- type: history-graph
  title: 'My Graph'
  entities:
    - sensor.outside_temperature
    - entity: media_player.lounge_room
      name: Main player

But of course changing sensor to something I am having I am receving the error above. I am trying to add the history graph card directly in lovelace ui

#

Under add card and then history graph

#

When I open the card it is saying:
```
Entities need to be an array
{
"type": "history-graph"
}

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

https://img.sticky.wtf/kmDPn

#

type: history-graph
title: 'My Graph'
entities:
  - sensor.bod_multisensor_temperature
  - entity: media_player.kontor
    name: Main player

#

like that

vapid field Feb 10, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

Thanks! Is this something I should have know with the information given in the card?

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

Says how in the docs

vapid field Feb 10, 2019, 11:30 AM

#

Well I copy pasted the example, but it did not work 😦 for some reason

#

Thanks anways

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 11:31 AM

#

If you compare the codeblock in the docs to the one in the UI editor you should be able to spot the small difference between the 2

errant plover Feb 10, 2019, 11:34 AM

Basically drop the leading '-' and reduce the indenation.

Hey guys! Finally getting my head around lovelace, have a bunch of working horizontal-stacks and picture-entity etc.

Can't get the Alarm Panel card to work - https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/alarm-panel/ - whenever I add to ui-lovelace.yaml it just results in "entity not found" error (card is red).

Any clues? What am I missing? I've tried to Google without success.

#

And I guess a secondary question - that Card which I've linked above ^ does it require a .js file - or anything to be added to configuration.yaml?

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

@uncut oasis It does not require any extra js files. Do you use the UI editor or yaml mode?

uncut oasis Feb 10, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

yaml mode

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

How does your config look for the alarm panel?

uncut oasis Feb 10, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

cards:
- type: alarm-panel
entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

Does alarm_control_panel.alarm exist in states ?

uncut oasis Feb 10, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

Yes

#

no

#

It has a slightly different name. 😃

#

Fixed 😃

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

Great 😉

uncut oasis Feb 10, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

Thanks!! I'm not sure where/how that is/was even created

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Sorry - probably having a noob moment.

#

Thanks, goodnight 😃

nope, just puttet in the homeassistant folder

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:33 PM

Do you have a www folder?

not right now after i did a complete new clean install

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:34 PM

Create a folder named www in the same directory as configuration.yaml
Place your image01.png in www
Restart HA
Should work

See https://www.home-assistant.io/components/http/#hosting-files @vapid field

oh cool i try directly. could i also put an image folder into www like www/images/image01.png?

split granite Feb 10, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

Yes

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Just make sure your background: reflects the path you've placed the file in 😃 (And www referes to /local)

vapid field Feb 10, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

is this right: url("/local/image01.png")

#

just get a white screen instead of the image

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

Where did you place the image?

split granite Feb 10, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

And, did you restart Home Assistant after creating www/?

sudden lion Feb 10, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

check that its available by accessing https://your.ha.url/local/image01.png

vapid field Feb 10, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

into the folder www, but i saw a little failure. now i have the picture :-)
but 7times...

now i fixed it 😃
a big thanks to you guys. the solution was so clear but i didnt saw it 😃

Thoughts on a camera battery level on a picture glance card... I'll probably have to make a template sensor as its not an entity yet.. but even then is there a way to display the level or will it only just show the icon?

Is there an easy way to get a lovelace card (iframe card) to show wider than default? like X percent of the screen width?

#

The aspect ratio seems to deal with the height of the card, not the width

sick jolt Feb 10, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

@kindred moon The only way to make a card larger (wider) than normal is to make it a panel as far as I know

mortal jewel Feb 10, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

is there any other weather forcast site then darksky , which is accurate for india ?

sleek warren Feb 10, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

sorry if this has been asked before... can i have lovelace display my camera stream when certain criteria is met? aka something is triggered then vanish when its done?

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

@sleek warren I think you can do that with a conditional card

#

  entity: media_player.house_speakers
  type: media-control
conditions:
  - entity: media_player.house_speakers
    state_not: idle
  - entity: media_player.house_speakers
    state_not: 'off'
  - entity: media_player.house_speakers
    state_not: unavailable
type: conditional

#

That's what I do to only show a media-control card if the media player is not idle, off, unavailable (in other words, displays only if its state is playing or paused)

sleek warren Feb 10, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

interesting 😃 thank you i will investigate

#

appreciate your time

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

so under card the entity would be your camera. under conditions would be the conditions you want met. they work with AND. and then type: conditional is where the magic happens

sleek warren Feb 10, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

excellent will work a treat for what i need 😃

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

@mortal jewel I don't know of one after a quick google search

sleek warren Feb 10, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

ok that works now to try and implement a delay of some description as the condition changes so quickly the card vanishes with a second i will look at the docs 😃

last prism Feb 10, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

added a new tab, put in a URL, but when i click on it, it just appends the URL to the URL of HA.

#

http://10.xx.xx.xx/lovelace/http://10.xx.xx.xx:1880/ui/#/0

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

@last prism Did you name the tab in the config editor?

last prism Feb 10, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

yes.

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

Did you give it a URL path?

last prism Feb 10, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

                    "badges": [],
                    "cards": [],
                    "icon": "mdi:remote",
                    "path": "https://10.xx.xx.xx:1880/ui/#/0",
                    "title": "Remote"
                }```

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

and the URL path shouldn't be the full path. Like my "Weather" tab's URL path is just "weather"

last prism Feb 10, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

tried both http/s

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

    title: Radar
    path: radar
    panel: true
    icon: 'mdi:radar'```

#

my path is just "radar" instead of the full URL

#

let's me hit http://10.xx.xx.xx.xx:8123/lovelace/radar in my address bar to get right there

last prism Feb 10, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

i cant embed offsite URLs?

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

oh, not there, no. that path is the path to this page in lovelace. If you're trying to embed a URL, use a panel

#

So, add a new tab in Lovelace's editor. And turn Panel Mode off when you do it. Then add a new iframe on that tab.

#

Then edit the tab and turn Panel Mode back on

#

https://i.imgur.com/UkafLnS.png I hit the gold Plus at the top to add a new tab. Named it derp and the URL path is "derp". That's going to let me hit it at http://10.xx.xx.xx:8123/lovelace/derp

#

Then on that new tab, add an iframe and put in your offsite URL.

last prism Feb 10, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

ahh okay.

kindred moon Feb 10, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

Then if you want that URL full screen, edit the tab when you're done and turn on Panel Mode (in that screenshot above where I created the Derp tab)

#

I literally just larned this 15 minutes ago. Good timing.

Evening guys, pulling my hair out slighty over this, I'm new to the lovelace ui, and I'm on the latest version of hassio with the UI editor, just wondering if someone could assist?
I'm trying to install

As far as I can tell I've copied everything to the correct directories, but keep getting the following error (even after checking permissions / restarting)

So I'm getting a hang of Lovelace a bit now. I've integrated most of my off the shelf stuff. I will soon start working on the old alarm system sensors. My goal is to have a tablet on a wall that will be a dashboard. In the past, I started to go down the road of HAdashboard. Has Lovelace basically taken over that functionality? I just need to decide what architecture to start on now.

sleek warren Feb 10, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

Any decent tab swiper available?

mortal cape Feb 11, 2019, 1:13 AM

@swortsoul#738 hadashboard would seem unnecessary, especially if it's the look you're after https://github.com/kuuji/button-card

covert wharf Feb 11, 2019, 1:34 AM

ok, thanks @mortal cape . That's what I was starting to see. I'll focus on Lovelace.

ok, what's the reason for this change?

smoky peak Feb 11, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Prior to lovelace, I had a groups.yaml file. However, after lovelace, I didn't see a reason to used a groups.yaml file, as I had only been using groups to organize visual layouts. However, now I find a need to define a group for a non-visual purpose. Is groups.yaml still the way to do that?

elder pendant Feb 11, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Groups are still useful for controlling multiple entities with a single command

smoky peak Feb 11, 2019, 5:27 PM

Ok, great. I'll start a new groups.yaml file.

@surreal agate clarity and consistency on how to bring up more-info on different cards. Right now it applies to light, media and climate

@mild veldt re: PR #2719 that you closed as not a bug, would that be considered a bug on MDI side? Just wondering how this works / who is best to report the issue to. Cause the icon definitely shows up when you search "motion-sensor" on https://materialdesignicons.com/ and has been there for a while now.

elder pendant Feb 11, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Icons are not updated in real time. They are pulled from an npm package. The package version only updates based on what version of HA you have

#

Any icons that were added in the last 4 months will not be currently available

mild veldt Feb 11, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

@latent moss it was added January 21st to mdi https://materialdesignicons.com/history We don't necessarily update dependencies every release. Here's the npm history https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mdi/font

latent moss Feb 11, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

Ok I see now, the one in HA 0.87 release notes says 3.3.92 and latest available version seems to be 3.4.93. I just read the release notes earlier and assumed it'd be using the latest version, my bad. Thanks for the clarification guys.

Hey all, just joined the server. Been working on learning Home Assistant, and the one thing I can' really find if its possible or not is if its possible to have seperate yaml files for each view.

#

like having a views folder then something like "main.yaml", "weather.yaml", etc with views for each of them

sick jolt Feb 11, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

Is it normal that "condition cards" take up a slot, even when they aren't visible? And cane you make them not do that?

#

https://imgur.com/5Rqgc2K

latent moss Feb 11, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

@spiral estuary yes by using includes. So like - !include main.yaml Check this config for an example https://github.com/isabellaalstrom/HomeAssistantConfiguration/

sick jolt Feb 11, 2019, 7:00 PM

The card in my screenshot above is pushed all the way to the right because there are 6 hidden cards above it

I see the same behavior as you @sick jolt . I have a bunch of conditional cards in top left of screen for temporary alert type cards (HA update available, etc) but I noticed it pushed my main card to the second column even when none of those condtiional cards are visible. Also interested if it's possible to avoid this.

spiral estuary Feb 11, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

fairly new to yaml, and missing : has caught me a few times, but I think this is the first time that I ran into adding a : when wasn't needed

sick jolt Feb 11, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

@latent moss In my case I can probably be more explicit and do a "vertical-row" with all the cards in it, but that's not ideal in every situation

Hey guys, can somebody explain the difference between HTMLElement and LitElement for example in lovelace and why I would use one or the other when developing a card? I'm currently just using HTMLElement but wondering if should look into other options.

sleek warren Feb 11, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

can the entire background be changed in lovelace? behind all the cards?

Does adding new resources (like javascript) to www/ require a restart of HA?

No, only the first time after creating the www dir

I just made an update to auto-entities. It should be way less sensitive to memory leaks now.
https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

#

Also, entities are sorted the same way as monster-card.

Anyone using multiple platforms to poll user location. If so, how do you display it in lovelace and how to you handle automations?

tried several times this week, @polar kelp maybe if you want to could you tell me this, i know youre the lovelace master in here so i tought to tag youre name,
is there a way to automate the notification bell on frontend to open whenever a new notification comes in?

polar kelp Feb 11, 2019, 10:32 PM

ok thanks then i wont have to ask again xD

polar kelp Feb 11, 2019, 10:35 PM

You could use monster-card or auto-entities to display persistent_notification entities, but that’s it.

Excuse my reading comprehension if it was there and I just missed it..

but is there a way to change back to automatically generated lovelace after you've switched to manual?

I'm realizing my imported lovelace isn't as ideal as I thought and I wanted to switch back to the automatically generated one until I get the time to re-do it

Remove the file .storage/lovelace

#

on lovelace UI if I want to have a smaller image I need to use an actual smaller image as my asset ?

#

the more apt question would be is there any flag in picture related cards to shrink the image if originally it's too huge ?

@polar kelp I expected two lines with sensor.person(1|2)_status, and that I'd get a popup when clicking them

polar kelp Feb 12, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

The very first line of the popup-card readme: "Replace the more-info dialog of one entity with a custom lovelace card"

#

You need to provide means to open the more-info dialog yourself.

How do you guys go about yaml mode/ui mode? I like being in the UI testing layouts because of the "instant feedback"... but the yaml you get is "sorted" in an unintuitive way (of course), so for that reason I like yaml mode more. Wish I could have both!

#

Like a lovelace sandbox playground page where you could test stuff, and once you're happy with how it looks you just copy/paste it into your ui-lovelace.yaml (or files included therein)

sudden lion Feb 12, 2019, 8:47 AM

I prefer to use yaml mode

Have no issues with running vscode on 1 screen and the UI on another and just switch from one side to another to see a change

It's not possible as far as I can tell

You either get a responsive design, or user control over everything

#

Whatever you pick somebody will be unhappy

#

The only compromise is like you get out of Grafana, where the user choses the size of the card

No auto flow there though, things just get squished

Download and copy mini-media-player-bundle.js from the latest release into your config/www directory.

Add a reference to mini-media-player-bundle.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml.

resources:

I assume i have to add the reference to the js file somewhere else? Is that done via the raw config editor?

wheat current Feb 12, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

Well, they will not be any wider, but there will be less space around them making them appear wider like the demo, if you remove all but two in a view on the demo it will look like yours

can i use a dropdown menu to trigger service calls

Dropdown in a card?

like this but custom service calls for each entry

split granite Feb 12, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Not in any of the stock cards

vernal dawn Feb 12, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

do you know any custom cards that do this?

split granite Feb 12, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

No, but there's a few places to start looking, including from the pinned messages here, and the forum

#

I make relatively little use of the UI - for me HA is about automation first, second, and third, with voice control coming in around 20, and manual control about 50th

wheat current Feb 12, 2019, 5:26 PM

When you say "created directory www under config" by "config" do you mean the same directory as your configuration.yaml?

sudden lion Feb 12, 2019, 5:32 PM

https://ha.url/local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.0.0 Try to access that path in your browser to verify that the file is in the correct folder

steel turtle Feb 12, 2019, 5:34 PM

yeah, i seem to get the js file in the browser

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 5:35 PM

take type out of single quotes

- type: custom:mini-media-player

steel turtle Feb 12, 2019, 5:38 PM

@elder pendant doesnt seem to do the trick either im afraid

It actually adds the single quotes back when I press save

Thats my config for the same card, works here.

sudden lion Feb 12, 2019, 5:46 PM

Yes

steel turtle Feb 12, 2019, 5:47 PM

So must be something with the js file and its path then....

Any error messages in console? (F12 in Chrome)

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

I want to have a snapcast card where I can chose the source via dropdown and clients via toggle. Is there an example or do I need to create a custom card?

distant steppe Feb 12, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

hello is it possible to use custom icons like png on entities? type on off on lovelace?

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

so i know I have an error in my ui-config.yaml but I just can't seem to find any error reports to get an idea on where it is. only thing I see is in health /config/ui-lovelace.yaml not found but it for sure is there since if I replace the content with something basic it just works.

so my quesiton is where to see the outptut of ui-config.yaml errors ?

#

i mean ui-lovelace.yaml 😉

steel turtle Feb 12, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

@sudden lion had to run, but im not sure where to look in the console but there are a few error messages

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

hmm - seems if I change a few things it does start reporting error sin statusinfo what the error is.

#

so i created a yaml file that when parsed HA sees as nonexistant 😉

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

@distant steppe Depends on what card you are using. Look for state_image

distant steppe Feb 12, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

yes with that

#

to change the status icons? can I use it with entity button?

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

no....entity_button does not support that (yet)

#

but hopefully soon now that the feature freeze is over

distant steppe Feb 12, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

ok ... and I have to use the template image state guide to change the icons right?

#

Thanks

hexed owl Feb 12, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

on a sensor, one of the little round circles up the top in the default view, several have a units setting that puts the unit in a little text bubble at the bottom of the circle… is it possible to have an automation or even just a template add that bit of text to sensors that don't already have it? i'm thinking mostly of the Steam friend sensor, which doesn't indicate the person's actual online state or anything, rather oddly.

steel turtle Feb 12, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Receiving the following message when I look at the console Failed to load resource: local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.0.0:1 the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

#

when I click the link I come to the script file in the browser

#

Can it be a security issue with my www folder?

split granite Feb 12, 2019, 7:34 PM

Check the path you're specifying

#

It should be /local/... not local/...

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

Hi, all.
Can someone help me understand what is wrong my my HA front end?
Here's a video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oH7pHRNrkpDpjojtLvgTqQmzziU9YplW/view?usp=sharing

If someone missed the actual issue, my entire top menu just vanishes...

This seems to be device-specific. I have logged out and in again, deleted cache and data of google chrome of devices, still happening
Started happening as soon as I updated. Updated to .87 on PC, issue appeared on PC, updated from phone to .87.1, issue started not on the phone also
It shows in all themes, but as you see in vid, as soon as I refresh the page, goes back. If I change menus, there it is again.
No errors whatsoever in the log

This is extremely bothering 😦

#

Not that it would matter I think, but also deleted all temporary tokens. Still happening. I simply ran out of ideas.

sudden lion Feb 12, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

@steel turtle Make sure you clear your cache

steel turtle Feb 12, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

the cache it was!

#

This chat rocks - thank you very much

hexed owl Feb 12, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

i guess not… heh

pulsar verge Feb 12, 2019, 7:44 PM

I have a group that holds two timers. Before the upgrade to lovelace I had an automation that would set the data: visible to False or True as needed. When set to true the timer group card would show up with the timer that was set to true. Now I see no cards regardless of what data: visible is set to. Any thoughts on where should troubleshoot. In the backend all the timers run they just do not show up as a group card anymore. Thanks for the help

#

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

pulsar verge Feb 12, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

@wheat current Do you know if the conditional can be based on data: instead of state: ?

wheat current Feb 12, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

I doubt that, but you should not need an automation with this

pulsar verge Feb 12, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

@wheat current That worked, I had to change out the entity that I was checking the state of but I was able to get this working. Thank you

#

Where does the new lovelace cards code get saved? Should we be replacing the old groups with new lovelace built cards?

wheat current Feb 12, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

by default in .storrage.
Groups still serve a purpose

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

Hi, guys
Anyone can give a hand on the issue I described above?

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

Short of clearing the cache and data, and reinstalling the pwa if you had installed it, theres not much you can do. I've never seen that before

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I just cleared data on chrome my phone, still happening. Tried installing another browser, the issue does not show in the other browser. ..

#

Same in PC, cache cleared, still happening, installed Firefox, not happening there

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

Are you positive you actually cleared the cache? Does it do the same thing in incognito mode?

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

Happening in incognito also, just checked

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

Dunno, man. F12 to check the browser console for any errors

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

The puzzling thing is that it started literally after I updated to the latest version, in both devices.. Such bad luck, I can live with some errors, but this makes the system almost unusable...

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

Try reverting to see if it fixes it. If it does then open an issue for the latest release

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

Will do. Thanks for the help 🙂

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

is there a way to use something like state_filter or just filter on state-icons in lovelace ? groups does not change color/icon based on state so wondering how to tell lovelace to tweak it manually ?

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

Not yet 😦

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

bummer

mild veldt Feb 12, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

I pushed for it, long ago, and it never went through 😦

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

alternative fix would to make groups behave more like light groups 😉

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

we definitely need some icon/color customization

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

but i don't like having to specify both light groups and then groups to get it to group things nicer.

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

for many sensors, visual cues are enough...we don't need the exact state information

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

but i guessI shuold just live with a worse old ui page and use light groups with lovelace

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

@mild veldt what was the objection?

#

or you could not devote time?

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

if only someting like custom ui state card templates was possible in a general form for lovelace 😃

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

I don't see why not. That was one of the best parts of custom_ui

summer pasture Feb 12, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

Do history graph cards auto update in lovelace or do you need to browser refresh?

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

so given todays "state" of lovelace is the only way to show group entities with different colors based on state to use image cards in picture-elements ?

#

@raven nacelle ^ and if the answer is yes how does one avoid the images stops jumping around when shown at different resolutions ? :/

#

I got a pcitre elementsetup working that fades aresa in / out based on state but as soon as I resize it a bit the areas scales badly.

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

picture elements support state_image, so you can use them. Use transform: none for images to not move around on different screens

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

@raven nacelle that doesn't seem to work. let me get you a screenshot 😉

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

there are other cards that support state_image that may be relevant

#

There are minor differences, but transform: none significantly improves the layout

forest agate Feb 12, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

@raven nacelle sorry got a phone call - see these screenshots and code used at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/scaling-of-picture-elements-floorplan-just-not-working/90286

#

@raven nacelle thats picture elements and they just seem to not scale up and down regularly even the slightest when transform; none

#

it gets better for sure, but its out of whack almost instantly on my monitor and across ipad and iphone i can't seem to find set up that looks decent onall

raven nacelle Feb 12, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

I have faced the exact same situation. May be the difference is amplified in the full screen mode

#

I am still not sure why the layout shifts

#

especially since we are using relative positioning

#

you should post that link on the dev channel....hopefully, someone will have a better idea

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 10:29 PM

hey everybody,
does anybody know if it's possible to get a bg image in a view to full size?
i want to have the header transparent with the bg image shining through.
i am just able to have a bg image starting under the header, header is transparent. but when im scrolling bg image disapears at the header border

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

What is currently on your background: line?

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

background: url("/local/images/image_01") no repeat center

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

did you try adding fixed to it?

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

yep i did also. tried things like min-height / min-width or hight / width etc like i saw here

https://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/

#

do i have to set this in ui lovelace or in themes.yaml?

#

maybe its possible to set the primary bg color as an image and not as color

elder pendant Feb 12, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

You want the background to extend over the header?

#

I'm still trying to visualize what you're looking for

vapid field Feb 12, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

yep exactly

#

i can give you an example

#

the cards should have this behavior to the background:

https://css-tricks.com/examples/FullPageBackgroundImage/css-2.php

#

https://community-home-assistant-assets.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/abc8ef44754235893ba44af317cdd3c7f4157fc5.jpg

#

no, i want the background go UNDER the header 😃

#

and the header is transparent
and the background is fixed while the cards are scrolling
like in the examples above

latent moss Feb 12, 2019, 11:35 PM

Just wanted to show off my progress in first week of lovelace, thought of a pretty neat way of switching themes https://gfycat.com/NaiveKindlyCuckoo

hexed owl Feb 12, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

curious to know what the magic incantation is now…

mild veldt Feb 12, 2019, 11:57 PM

#

@latent moss you really care about your network stats, lol. doubling down on the stats

#

looks good so far

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

thanks, the glance card that shows my total number of automations, scripts etc also has hold_actions too. So long pressing on scripts does service: script.reload, same for reloading automations. Long pressing on the DB filesize icon purges the recorder, the log one clears logfile, long-pressing on uptime restarts HA. Lovelace has let me clean up my ui a ton with those kind of tricks 😃

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

i might have to steal those ideas

sudden lion Feb 13, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

@latent moss nice work! But this is annoying!! https://img.sticky.wtf/USSJu 😛

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:07 AM

heh

sudden lion Feb 13, 2019, 12:07 AM

Do you have your config on github?

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

unfortunately not, i plan to eventually though. i can share my settings page tho later tonight

sudden lion Feb 13, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

Want to share some more screenshots of your setup?

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:13 AM

#

i've only got a very small part of my ui converted to lovelace so far, have been spending most of my time making virtual remote buttons and stuff heh. This part i am proud of though, it's a picture glance, clicking the photo toggles an input_boolean to show an entity-group underneath for expanded info https://gfycat.com/UntimelyCrispBelugawhale

sudden lion Feb 13, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

Thats nice

#

Would love to see the config for both your screenshots 😃

#

Also, what sleep sensor are you using?

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:16 AM

#

that is just using a bayesian sensor to determine when i'm in bed (devices off, lights off, phone charging, etc) so no hardware required

sudden lion Feb 13, 2019, 12:16 AM

#

aha, cool

#

Did you make the portraits yourself?

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:18 AM

it was a website that you can do it for free, i forget the name of it, i think face manga something

#

cool part with lovelace is that most things i can think of, i can finally do hehe

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

<— must be finally starting to learn something… that config actually makes some sense…

#

does it cope with trying to open both at the same time? was wondering, could you put into the tap_action, a second action (ala automations) which is to close (not toggle, turn_on in your case?) the other XXX_more_info pane? wondering if that would work…

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

here's my settings view @sudden lion https://hastebin.com/yigatepito.bash

sudden lion Feb 13, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

Thx

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

thats an interesting question @hexed owl i have to try that later. i think that would be possible to do. Even if you can't do more than one service call, you could probably make the one service call an automation that performs multiple actions.

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

@latent moss @hexed owl I would have them call scripts that make sure the other is set to false. I had something similar to switch between 1-4 columns in my view

odd light Feb 13, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

anyone doing anything cool with the new lovelace updates?

covert wharf Feb 13, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

ok, for some reason I can't find this. is there a document or instructions on how to use themes in lovelace? i can't figure out where to start for this.

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

Just google home assistant themes and pick one you like

#

Then copy all of the information under themes: in your configuration.yaml

covert wharf Feb 13, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

well that sounds easy... i'll go try it. thanks for that.

latent moss Feb 13, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

I'm not skilled enough to code this, but if someone wants a neat custom card idea .... an "assistant helper" card that shows what commands you can say to voice assistants (Siri, Google, Alexa), based on what entities you have exposed to HA Cloud etc. Mockup animated gif (the commands would rotate in & out every few seconds): https://gfycat.com/embarrassedgrandhen

I'm trying to update my groups/interface but it's not working. I've even deleted the groups.yaml and lovelace-ui.yaml files
It's still showing the old groups/views that I used to use pre-lovelace
Reloading browser with shift+reload isn't helping either
Any ideas?

try clearing your actual browser cache

@mild veldt Good call but no love. It logged me out and logging back in again I had the same problem
Also tried incognito w/o luck

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

were you ever in storage mode? do you have a ./storage/lovelace file?

thick cedar Feb 13, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

NAILED IT!

#

Do I just deleted .storage?

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

well do you want to just edit that or start with nothing?

thick cedar Feb 13, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

nothing is fine

#

If I have to I can roll back to a daily backup

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 5:32 AM

#

well you can bring up the UI editor by going to the overflow menu on the top right

#

and if you want to start 100% over, delete .storage/lovelace

thick cedar Feb 13, 2019, 5:33 AM

#

oh that's beautiful, you nailed it

#

That's a great call

#

I've been dragging an OLD interface around for ages, now I can start fresh 😃

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 5:33 AM

How do I disable storage mode?

Am I missing something with the entity button card? The example makes it look like it should be very easy to put 3 entities on one card but the default yaml looks nothing like the example and if I make it look like the example but with my entities I get errors

#

specifically, I get the error: YAML Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined

@wind jay where? was looking for that the other day… was thinking maybe just delete the lovelace file… but then i decided that i like lovelace too much, even if my layout is still 98% stock auto…

@hexed owl sorry you need to delet the lovlace file...

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

oh, so i was right… wooot… 😀 not a sorry needed, is sweet, the question was kind of bugging me, is all. really just wanted to know for future reference in case i wanted to… thanks.

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

small question folks… is there any way to stop the brightness showing on a light switch icon? (ie. make it only show full on, or full off)

split granite Feb 13, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

I don't think so, not as a light entity anyway

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

any idea how hard would it be for me to hack the light component?

#

it bothers my OCD, since i never change the brightness, i'm tempted to remove the brightness control entirely.

#

(Python is easy… understanding HA is hard… i think i would just need a noobs walk-through to the editor)

#

… i suppose if i lovelace-ize it, i could do a pair of lovelace cards with the two parallel light switches, conditional cards and a boolean_input to swap them on long-press… but gawd that'd be an ugly long-winded solution to a simple problem…

#

(and is there a better channel in which to ask something like that…?)

split granite Feb 13, 2019, 12:56 PM

#

Custom card would be the answer

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

if you can show me the minimal-fuss way to make and test something like that, i'd appreciate it. it's innards are still very much a black-box to me, that my head doesn't want to delve into yet.

#

i was thinking of seeing if i could add a setting to the component to inhibit display, but you're probably right, a simpler_light card or sommuch would probably be better…

split granite Feb 13, 2019, 1:01 PM

#

I know very little (aka nothing) about the strange magic that is Lovelace, however the dev docs should do (I'll grab a link) and others will be around later who know Lovelace dev

#

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/frontend_index.html

#

And https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/lovelace_custom_card.html in particular

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 1:02 PM

#

i've tried looking at the dev docs… they hurt my head, so i've put them on the TODO list… 😩

#

(also, javascript… not my best language… which doesn't help.)

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 1:05 PM

#

@hexed owl just use an entity-button or button-card instead of light-card if you don't want the brightness

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

…okay… i think i can do that custom card thing, though… prolly need to hunt down the standard card in github, i guess… going to go grab food first, however.

#

@mild veldt couple posts back, mentioned how i could lovelace-bodge it, essentially exactly that way; i want to be able to change the brightness, just not have it show on the card.

#

(the brightness is basically permanently set at 64 of 256… any dimmer and it starts to flicker badly, any brighter and it blinds me, being it's an RGB led strip sitting right below my monitors…)

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

entity-button is still an option and then set the hold-action to more-info which has brightness controls

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

ahhh…

#

entity-button is still showing a dimmed icon. 😦

#

and i don't know how i'd get more-info to show the more-info of a different switch

#

…which seems to bring me back to parallel switches, with parallel cards, and flipping on long-press… min five components to do what i should be able to hack in as a setting, if i can pull together sufficient sanity…

good day all, id like to know if i can replace my off': /local/images/tvlightsoff.png to a value that will grey it out instead of the need of a off picture, so i online need a single picture?

  - elements:
      - entity: light.group_tv_lights
        filter: saturate(.8)
        image: /local/images/tvlightson.png
        state_filter:
          'on': brightness(120%) saturate(1.2)
        state_image:
          'off': /local/images/tvlightsoff.png

#

im asking cause 'on': brightness(120%) saturate(1.2) has that value but when i put that in off, i am getting an error that the image is not found (greyed out image on top of the tvlightson.pg) https://www.screencast.com/t/eV4TZBtHxQe3

errant monolith Feb 13, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

so i'm starting to use the newer 'configure UI' method to configure cards in lovelace, where is the generated config stored?

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

It's stored as JSON in your .storage folder

#

the file is called lovelace

errant monolith Feb 13, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

ah okay cool, so i should track that with git if i want to keep things backed up like the old days

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

Either that or copying and pasting the raw config after every change into a separate file, but that seems a little tedious, so yes 😉

errant monolith Feb 13, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

ooh, cleartext api keys in there too

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

In your lovelace file? o_O what api does that?

hexed owl Feb 13, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

a whole bunch of other configs have cleartext passwords… you can shunt them out of your main configs with !secret (and then .gitignore it), but not so much with most add-on's, and well, pretty much anything that takes passwords in JSON… 😦

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

What addon stores cleartext passwords directly in the lovelace file though?

errant monolith Feb 13, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

@elder pendant not in the lovelace file, i was looking in .storage

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

Oh I see. Yeah, you definitely don't want to whitelist the whole directory, just the one file

errant monolith Feb 13, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

yup!

#

so the old ui_lovelace.yaml is trash?

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

If you aren't planning on using yaml mode again, then yes

errant monolith Feb 13, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

so what's the order of operations? does hass scan the yaml file first, and then the customized stuff in the .storage json?

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

If you have lovelace: in your configuration.yaml it uses ui-lovelace.yaml

#

otherwise it uses the .storage file

mild veldt Feb 13, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

and if nothing in .storage, it is autogenerated

#

until you take control

elder pendant Feb 13, 2019, 4:08 PM

In which case there is nothing to backup anyway 🤓

@safe sigil from someone very new to lovelace myself, yes groups.yaml still works. all the back end things do. your sensors etc is all still there. the UI is now separate. daunting at first, but once you get into it, it's very nice. i've dropped running HA dashboard and now will just use a lovelace page.

Hi there, i'm new here and struggling time after time (two weeks now) with lost entitie in the UI webinterface. After discover i can add the new motion and temperature entities (433Mhz via RFXcom) to lovelace view. After a while when i rebooted hass.io then i see yellow lines with the text "Entity not available". A restore of the complete backup is no fix, the only way is to asign new unused entities which had an other object ID number. See the sample below which i found in the customize.yaml file after I changed the friendly name via the webinerface. Is there someone who can help me here, thanks

Looks like your sensor id is changing every time you restart. It's the fault of whatever platform your sensor is using most likely

Different strokes for different folks

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

Could anyone tell me if this is possible, I've been struggling with it for like 3 days now. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong (lovelace newb) or if i'm trying to do something that's impossible...

i basically want a horizontal-stack with two horizontal-stacks nested inside it... the left side would be conditional stuff (one would always be active at all times) and the right side would be a vertical-stack that toggles input_booleans that replaces the horizontal-stack directly to the left. But it'd appear attached/connected to the same card. Everything I'm trying doesn't seem to work, this image explains it better: https://i.imgur.com/le2WFS3.png

mild veldt Feb 14, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

@latent moss what have you tried? It sounds like you'll have something like this:
hor-stack:

cond 1 (key)
cond 2 (fav)
cond 3 (nav)
vert-stack (selector)

The only trick I see to it is making sure only one of your conditionals is showing. To do that, have input_booleans for each and then when any of your options are selected in the selector card, have it run a script that turn the other input_booleans off and turns its respective one on

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

i feel like i've tried everything.. the vertical stack (toggles portion) keeps becoming a whole new card

#

there's 4 buttons on the left side (conditionals), i want the toggles to almost appear like they're a fifth button (even tho they'd be in a different stack)... i feel like this should work since they are the same height etc, but it seems to insist on putting in a whole seperate card, unless my code is wrong.

mild veldt Feb 14, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

so your issue isn't the toggling, it's the positioning?

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

yea

#

in the ss you can see that its being seperated to a big gigantic thing in the middle column

mild veldt Feb 14, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

I don't think you want two horizontal-stacks inside the first.

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

hmm

mild veldt Feb 14, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

to start, just try it with one of the conditionals or don't even use the conditional

#

just
h-stack:

ok will give that a shot

mild veldt Feb 14, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

and if that works, you're just swapping out what you have for "num"

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

i think it's that i have a horizontal-stack for each row of numbers that might be messing it up. one horizontal-stack for the numberpad and one stack for each row.

#

this is the closest i've been able to get it so far https://i.imgur.com/3SZ2yvL.png

#

So here is how it looks now, the toggles are in the right place/size but it messes up the card on the left. https://i.imgur.com/O3padu8.png i feel confused as heck lol

#

could you take a quick peek at this when you get a chance @mild veldt , i feel like the code is correct but i don't know why it's not displaying right https://hastebin.com/hagafewati.bash

mild veldt Feb 14, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

@latent moss shouldn't your rows be in a vertical-stack?

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

omg...

#

that worked right away, slaps forehead . Just need to re-arrange the numbers now https://i.imgur.com/1tLtLaj.png but thank you so much 😃

Anyone using the entity button card with multiple entities? The example makes it look like it should be very easy to put 3 entities on one card but the default yaml looks nothing like the example and if I make it look like the example but with my entities I get the error: YAML Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined

Quick question... I'm using dark sky sensors. But reading in the Lovelace docs, I see the weather card works only if you have darksky set up at the weather component, not as a sensor. What's the difference?

#

'''

#

This card works only with platforms that define a weather entity.
E.g., it works with Dark Sky but not Dark Sky Sensor

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

Don't use the sensor

cyan ocean Feb 14, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

'''

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

The weather component gives you all the information that the sensors do in a single entity

cyan ocean Feb 14, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

excellent. thank you!

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

They should remove those sensors imo

#

If you really needed a sensor for each of those things you could use a template sensor

cyan ocean Feb 14, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

That may explain all the issues I was having with HADashboard.

timid burrow Feb 14, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

there is a darksky lovelace card that uses the darksky sensor

#

just not the inbuilt one I guess but a custom one

wheat current Feb 14, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

@timid burrow
since that is a component this channel is not the best place to report issues, since that is a custom_conponent you should first contact the developer by using the issue tracker where you found it, since it's mine you should definitely open a issue for this, preferably one or issue, then it will not get lost on me 😉

timid burrow Feb 14, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

I did already.. after I went here

#

do you know if this is going to blow up with the breaking changes in 0.88 about custom_components?

safe sigil Feb 14, 2019, 9:05 AM

One thing that puzzles me slightly: When i switch to Lovelace, everything that was in my groups.yaml at time of installation of Lovelace is present. An element that i added after the update is not.

#

Lovelace just grabbed the groups.yaml at time of install and disregards it completely after that, is that assumption correct?

timid burrow Feb 14, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

that's it

split granite Feb 14, 2019, 9:08 AM

Groups are used for the initial migration, and then never again

safe sigil Feb 14, 2019, 9:08 AM

Ok, then i have to swtich back to states until i ramped up on Lovelace knowledge and can migrate. Thanks!

You can refresh it

Or just take control

I just need some free time to dive into Lovelace and learn it. My HA runs most of the time without me tinkering with it. The Platform is so robust I rarely need to work on it.
