or you need more

polar kelp Feb 14, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

@atomic glacier You can put other cards in an entities card by ```yaml
type: entities
entities:

type: custom:hui-glance-card # custom:hui-<cardname>-card
entities:
- light.my_light
type: custom:hui-picture-entity-card
...etc...

#

The difference with vertical-stack-in-card is that it removes the background and drop-shadow of the cards. But since you're card-modding it back anyway...

#

And you can of course do ```yaml
type: entities
entities:

type: custom:card-modder
style:
...
card:
...etc...```

@polar kelp now I get: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)

atomic glacier Feb 14, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

@polar kelp Thank you! I'll play around with it a bit. Since this has been working, I thought it may be related to the card-modder update. BTW...awesome new feature for the plug-in!!! this is what shows now https://imgur.com/a/LrSZ7zn

vapid field Feb 14, 2019, 9:36 PM

is there some way to remove all traces of the custom cards and re-install besides restoring a snapshot?

spiral estuary Feb 14, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

so this is driving me crazy. What do I need to do to change the UI background color in lovelace

#

in themes.yaml I tried setting both primary-background-color and secondary-background-color and the color never changes.

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Did you switch to that theme?

spiral estuary Feb 14, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

title: Home
icon: mdi:home

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:51 PM

And you restarted home assistant after your changes?

spiral estuary Feb 14, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

yes

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

And cleared your browser cache?

spiral estuary Feb 14, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

Yup.

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Are you talking about the view background or the side drawer background?

spiral estuary Feb 14, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

The background that is not the cards

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

That is primary-background-color

#

Try changing it manually live by hitting F12

#

in browser

spiral estuary Feb 14, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

Background colors

primary-background-color: '#000000' # Settings background
secondary-background-color: '#000000' # Main card UI background
divider-color: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, .12)' # Divider

#

Nothing is black

#

Just using black to make it a very stark difference so I can see if something unexpected changes

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

🤷 dunno man. If you restarted HA and cleared your browser cache I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work

how does one find or get the icons in this picture? https://community-home-assistant-assets.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/2/8/289be256fd9f5b3feb5f5820b3e8e64b5fbbcd85.jpeg
Will these icons toggle lights on and off?

elder pendant Feb 14, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/#icon

#

They can toggle, or they could do a million other things. It all depends on how you configure it

wary quest Feb 14, 2019, 10:03 PM

@atomic glacier do you have a repo to fiew your setup?

atomic glacier Feb 14, 2019, 10:12 PM

@atomic glacier yes I read that thread. was looking for more yaml stuff to review. Guess I will wait to see it on github. Thanks

latent moss Feb 14, 2019, 10:43 PM

does anyone that uses the custom:button-card know if label buttons can actually perform actions? Or are they purely decoration/organization.

#

Am trying to make this black button toggle an input_boolean (to show/hide underneath), yet it doesn't work, other custom:button-card stuff do but not this "label' type it seems https://i.imgur.com/r06Btov.png

@forest mica at the top is typically easiest to work with

lime glacier Feb 15, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

how can I customise the badges including state... eg, I want two slightly different icons for different states.

#

I created a sensor, did a custom icon... This isn't showing the icon

#

I still see on/off

#

as the badge

#

if I customize it, I can only change the icon statically, yeah?

#

there is not icon template like for a sensor

@glad condor https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/ - on the right

polar kelp Feb 15, 2019, 9:18 AM

He's right actually. There's no mention of storage mode in the docs.

#

But here's a video, @glad condor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAgPPdH42Ko

split granite Feb 15, 2019, 9:18 AM

It's called out on the right as YAML mode, just not as Storage mode

#

We don't seem to document all the options

#

Heck, we don't seem to document the editor 😛

polar kelp Feb 15, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

Yaml mode is not storage mode.

split granite Feb 15, 2019, 9:19 AM

So we should look forward to a doc PR to fix that then 😛

Hey guys, does the Custom-UI https://github.com/andrey-git/home-assistant-custom-ui work for any of you at 0.87.1? I see it loaded into HA but I can't see any changes in the Lovelace UI.

#

V/E/F: 0.87.1/hassio/storage

sturdy bough Feb 15, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

Any way to display the value of a sensor, and not the icon, in a picture-glance?

#

or use a camera image in a picture-element like the camera_image of a picture-glance?

mild veldt Feb 15, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

@sturdy bough you can use a picture-glance in a picture-elements card. type: custom:hui-picture-glance-card

rancid schooner Feb 15, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

My custom cards won't load anymore. I switched from my server (0.84) to a raspberry (latest). The folder structure is still the same. Did something change in the lovelace settings?

sturdy bough Feb 15, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

i prefer to not use custom cards, because they tend to be abandoned sooner or later

#

maybe i've found something.. i'll check...

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/temperature-value-in-picture-glance-card/61840/15

mild veldt Feb 15, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

@sturdy bough it's not a custom card...

sturdy bough Feb 15, 2019, 1:26 PM

#

so what is "custom:hui-picture-glance-card" ? i dont know

mild veldt Feb 15, 2019, 1:53 PM

#

It is picture-glance

#

All cards are hui-<name>-card in the code base

#

This is a workaround to use ANY card in picture-elements

sturdy bough Feb 15, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

ah ok.
i'm trying to configure it that way, but while i can have values, i lose the "on/off" icon color

#

nah.. i think it's better if HA developers give us the ability to choose icons or values directly

mild veldt Feb 15, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

"nah" to what?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

You can create automations to change the icon of an entity based on its state

polar kelp Feb 15, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Before I release this, does anyone have any thoughts on the syntax?
Now it's [[ if(input_number.x_pos.state <= 30, "small", if(input_number.x_pos.state <= 70, "medium", "large")) ]].
Will work for useful-markdown-card and card-modder.

📎 ifelse.jpg

#

In other words [[ if(expression, then, else) ]] and the else is nestable.

raven nacelle Feb 15, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

I am assuming it cannot follow the regular template format. If that is the case, this makes sense

polar kelp Feb 15, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

Indeed. And I’m trying to make sure they look different because they work differently.

forest mica Feb 15, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

so i just copy and pasted the the slider-entity-row.js into ide and i have an ! at each polymer line and at the last line? config checks out. is that normal?

winter wasp Feb 15, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

what would cause a temperature sensor to show up as the incorrect C/F when grouped in a history_graph card?

@forest mica yes, that is normal. You're IDE doesn't know what Polymer is since you don't have it installed locally

ive got the js file, the resource at the top of rawconfig. but i try to copy and paste the card details and its not recognized

Hi, I was wondering if there is a visual overview of standard Lovelace cards, but also for Custom cards. Would be great to see what is available to pick from visually.

forest mica Feb 15, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

Custom element doesn't exist: slider-entity-row.
{
"type": "custom:slider-entity-row",
"entity": "light.lamp"

#

awesome-ha.com or lovelace docs have visual examples i think

wheat current Feb 15, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

https://sharethelove.io/custom-resources not really an overview but a selection of custom stuff can be found here @vapid field

forest mica Feb 15, 2019, 7:46 PM

ah it helps to point the resource url to your folder and not the persons you copy and pasted from

useful-markdown-card! https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-useful-markdown-card
Now with much better templating! With if-clauses! That's also useable in card-modder! (requires updating card-tools)

So now you can do background: [[ if(light.bed_light == 'on', 'white', 'black') ]]

Or perhaps animation: [[ if(sensor.washing_machine == 'done', "blink 1s linear infinite", "none") ]]

Is there a simple way to use conditions in the entity filter without using custom components?

Anyone that can help me with some languaging? I am trying to implement this dark sky weather card here: https://github.com/iammexx/home-assistant-config/tree/master/ui/darksky
I get everything translated, but "Today's High" and "Feels like" is still in english. Can anyone help me how to change that?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

What's your language?

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

danish

#

So should be "Højeste i dag" and "Føles som"

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

Doesn't look like danish is supported just for those two things. Interesting

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

Yeah, funny. Everything else translated just fine

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

Those two values are hardcoded, and there's only 7 languages listed

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

oh

vapid field Feb 15, 2019, 9:57 PM

hi @ all,
I am searching for a solution to get 'background_attachment fixed' to work on iOS.
Does anyone knows already how to fix this?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

You could open an issue saying that Danish isn't supported 😉

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

Could I change it like how I added a template sensor to give text output corresponding to the icon?

#

I manually made those danish

#

Example: value_template: '{% if is_state("sensor.dark_sky_icon","clear-day") %} Klart

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

You could always give it a shot and see where it breaks

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

I got no idea how though, but I will see if I can figure something out

#

@elder pendant post 509 here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-dark-sky-animated-weather-card/59816/516

#

Can you see if that is something I can use?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

The switch statement here is what you want to add a value to https://github.com/iammexx/home-assistant-config/blob/master/ui/darksky/dark-sky-weather-card.js#L161

#

Add another case

#

case "da" :
  return {
    feelsLike: "Højeste i dag:",
    maxToday: "Føles som:",
  }

Wow, it works. that is the most coding I done in my life

#

https://i.imgur.com/HrmcUdB.png

#

also noticed the wind directions were off, so fixed them too

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

Do you mind sharing what you added for the wind directions?

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

const windDirections_da = ['N','NNØ','NØ','ØNØ','Ø','ØSØ','SØ','SSØ','S','SSV','SV','VSV','V','VNV','NV','NNV','N'];

#

and
´´´
case "da" :
return windDirections_da;

#

Damn, that code formatting

#

Now I am trying to figure out where I can swap the wind speed and direction in the output

#

So instead of "Direction Speed" it goes "Speed Direction"

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

I made a pull request to add Danish to the languages, hopefully it goes through so you can update the card without having to add those changes back manually

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

Nice

#

Thank you

#

Also noticed that wind speed is the wrong unit. The common one used here is m/s

#

also my sensor outputs m/s, so don't know why it shows as km/h

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

They are converting it for some reason

#

In a very ugly way I might add 😂

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

Hehe, can I remove that conversion?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

You can

#

https://github.com/iammexx/home-assistant-config/blob/master/ui/darksky/dark-sky-weather-card.js#L381

#

here is where it starts

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

hmm

#

that calculates the windspeed manually and rounds in a weird way

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

And doing it with if statements

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

but I don't see where the actual unit text is changed from m/s to km/h

#

Yeah, even my EXTREMELY limited coding knowledge think this looks a bit weird

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

It's a very non-programmatic way of doing it

#

It looks like a lot of it is hardcoded. You'll have a tough time making it completely customized

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

hmm

#

It's weird, cause the value is wrong too

#

It's not really calculating it at all

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

Does it have to be on a scale of 12 for some reason?

sleek warren Feb 15, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

checked docs but cannot see it 'how can i prefix a £ to my value in a glance card instead of appending it?'

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

no, but going from m/s to km/h requires multiplication by 3,6

#

It looks like it is a funny way of rounding it to get rid of decimals?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

That's what I thought, but both scales are going to 1-12

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

Actually.. What is looks like is it takes the m/s wind, multiplies it by 3,6 to get km/h, so you get a larger value to round, then 12 rules have been set to round it, and then it is divided by approximately 4..

#

I don't get it

#

And that consequently outputs a weirdly rounded m/s value with a km/h unit

#

There's also this round: var windSpeed = this.config.entity_wind_speed ? Math.round(this._hass.states[this.config.entity_wind_speed].state) : 0;

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

I think : 0 is just defaulting to 0 if it gets something it doesn't recognize

#

Not positive though. I don't work with javascript directly too often

#

Oh I didn't read it properly. That is definitely what it's doing

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

Can you explain what this is? return lengthUnit === 'km' ? 'hPa' : 'mbar';

#

what does the question mark and colon seperate?

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

is there an ideal image size for the picture glance card?

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

It's a null check

#

is_this_null ? if_no_this_value : if_yes_this_value

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

I wouldn't say that's checking for a null value, it would return 'mbar' if it was an integer too

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

In this case that is true, I didn't read closely enough

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

the third = specifies it's also checking type

#

but @devout loom it's basically checking if lengthUnit is a string and is equal to km, it will return hPa if true, and mbar if false

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

That was my bad. It is a boolean check, I'm just used to using it as a null check

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

no worries, you weren't wrong!

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

hmm

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

it's an inline if statement or "shorthand"

#

used to reduce whitespace

#

the reduced version of

var lengthUnit = "km";
if(lengthUnit === "km"){
  return "hPa";
} else {
  return "mbar";
}

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 11:19 PM

Well it's not pretty.. But: var wind = this.config.entity_wind_speed && this.config.entity_wind_bearing ? html<li><ha-icon icon="mdi:weather-windy"></ha-icon>${this.current.beaufort} ${this.current.windSpeed} m/s fra ${this.current.windBearing}</li> : ``;

#

I managed to swap wind bearing and speed. And just replacing the unit span thingie(whatever that is) to have "m/s" fra in it instead.

#

As I know that what it outputs is in fact m/s

#

https://i.imgur.com/qg4neeX.png and now I managed to fix the spacing as well 😉 Now just one thing is broken, and that is the text size for some reason. Anyone know where I should look for that? Do note, I have absolutely zero coding experience, I am going my intuition on everything at the moment

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

it will be defined under the class unit

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

All of the blocks below the html are css. You can set font-size there

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

you can find the css responsible, or add a style attribute to the span element

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

oh, so because it is span class unit, it lowers it?

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

yeah, it will have a defined font-size somewhere

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 11:26 PM

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

aha

elder pendant Feb 15, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

You can change the number and the unit

#

em is based on screen size

#

(iirc)

shut harness Feb 15, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

but beware, it may also change other elements on the page

#

if something else is using it

#

so you could find the file and create your own class

#

unit-custom or something

#

then rename the class in your span tag

#

do we have a community stock photo site for utilities for picture glance cards at all?

I do not know if it is like this everywhere. But the Engineering department I am in, is doing everything that no one else can do. We sort the difficult non conformances, cause the QHSE department cannot. We implement software, like PDM, PLM and SharePoint these days. We do business cases when no one a single thing about materials and prices.

#

But the sales department are the assholes that get to travel the world and do fine dining with our customers

devout loom Feb 15, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

Yeah. We have appraisals two times a year. If we are scored to perform much over what is expected, it is mandatory for our manager to put us up for a promotion. But he told me straight up he will not do that to me and my team, cause the company would fall apart if he lost any of the four of us. So we are all scoring the highest appraisals, yet, we get nothing for it xD

Anyone have lovelace showing group toggles everywhere? States UI didn't do this. The docs indicate that the group toggle will only be applied to a group thats all lights/switches but that's not the case in lovelace, its putting them on every group automatically.

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

@ocean belfry yes you have to add show_header_toggle: false to remove them.

#

or if you're using the ui editor you can just edit the card and flip the toggle at the top to hide it

@devout loom Thanks!

I'm afraid that if I start asking you questions, I might as well offer you a full-time job xD

#

but @subtle rune, could you maybe help me point to where I can adjust the spacing in this card? https://i.imgur.com/FIeOYP9.png - I feel like the 5 day forecast should be lowered slightly to balance the elements. Not sure if it is some of the flags included with the card: https://github.com/iammexx/home-assistant-config/tree/master/ui/darksky

#

Took me like 5 hours just to get the card to looks like this, and had to go through java by sheer intuition and a couple of trojan viruses from @shut harness xD

#

shit, that's a lot of config options 😮

#

Yes, and for someone with absolutely zero coding experience, that was seriously testing my patience.

subtle rune Feb 16, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

sometimes less is more, but I understand the want to offer options

#

nothing pops out at me as the right option though

#

So glad I was super drunk the day I had to choose what Engineering direction I choose to study. Was thinking about IT engineering before, but choose mechanical cause my friends did. So much easier to see if a gear grinds or not 😉

#

Oh alright

#

but since the card is just a ton of entities, maybe some of thomasloven's cards could do something?

subtle rune Feb 16, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

I would probably just go in the js-file and change directly, but then that will go away when updating the card

devout loom Feb 16, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

yeah, but I already changed a lot of stuff in there, so I guess that will be alright

#

@subtle rune https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-dark-sky-animated-weather-card/59816/851

#

Through trial and error I did a lot of stuff, as danish wasn't supported. I put it in their thread there. Cause actually, that was something I got no idea about - what happens when they update the card.

#

So it just wipes my customization I guess?

subtle rune Feb 16, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

Yes, it will remove the old version of the card and take the new one

hardy magnet Feb 16, 2019, 12:05 PM

Hi folks, using Lovelace, is there a way to change the icon of a switch based on the state of a binary sensor? For example, I have a switch to "pulse" my garage door open or closed, but I also have a sensor that indicates as to whether the garage door is open or closed. At present, I had to define both entities within an entities card. I would prefer to take that down to one entity being the switch, but allow the icon to change based on the binary sensor. Can anybody point me in a direction on how to do this?

buoyant portal Feb 16, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

@hardy magnet best ask in #330944238910963714 but a cover template would do this for you

hardy magnet Feb 16, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

@buoyant portal I was hoping one would be able to this in Lovelace instead. Will look at cover templates.

buoyant portal Feb 16, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

I think your confusing a couple a things. You want to create a new cover entity and the best way to do that is with a template, and the icons will be taken care of in the template

#

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

dawn cobalt Feb 16, 2019, 12:31 PM

#

That's what I did. I had to change my garage door sensor from "sensor" to "cover"

#

then defined what states I wanted it to use

#

cover:

platform: mqtt
name: Garage Door
retain: true
state_topic: "garagedoorstatus"
state_open: "Door is Opened"
state_closed: "Door is Closed"

#

Then LoveLace or HA (which ever) knew it was a garage door and then the icon change worked

#

so when I open my door, the icon changes to opened

#

icon

split granite Feb 16, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

@hardy magnet Have a look at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor#device-class, you could use the device class to map the icon of the binary sensor, then use tap-action to have that turn on/off the garage door switch https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/glance/#tap_action

hardy magnet Feb 16, 2019, 1:01 PM

#

Thanks very much @split granite I think this is what I've looking for. I'm going to try template covers and this and see which one would work out the best.

Doesanyone have a super simple way to change a 'switch' icon to a bulb icon when using picture-entity and status icons for lights? A couple of our lights are on plug switches, so they have the lightbing bolt icon by default. I can make it a bulb but then I have to tell it how to change when status is on, etc... Seems like there might be a simpler way?

I cant seem to understand how to modify badges in lovelace config. I used the front end editor to create some cards and it works good. It creates a file in ".storage/lovelace". In this file there are badges

           "views": [
                {
                    "badges": [
                        "sensor.yr_symbol",
                        "sun.sun"
                    ],

But I cant modify those in the frontend and modifying in the "lovelace" file doesnt seem to have an effect and changes get overriden when next time modifying from the front end. How do I modify these?

Do I have to use a panel if I want three picture entity cards in a horizontal stack? I tried without and they just stay on the same way as normal in a view.

map card entities cannot have their own configuration like in entities card or glance card ?

mild veldt Feb 16, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

@charred frigate no they cannot

#

@mossy gale yes. panel will stretch it across

#

but you'll need to put everything inside of a single vertical stack

polar kelp Feb 16, 2019, 7:10 PM

For those playing along at home, me and @forest mica solved the problem. In short - Three dots -> refresh is not the same thing as reloading the page. Worth remembering.

But it was really an unlikely series of unfortunate events that happened in exactly the wrong order.

mild veldt Feb 16, 2019, 7:12 PM

@mossy gale yeah, just use an image editor and make them the same height/width

#

@mild veldt will do, cheers

polar kelp Feb 16, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

If you suspect a cache problem at any point, it's reloading the page. Refresh is highly optimized and will keep wrong things depending on changed stuff in memory.

when it comes to cache, I always recommend; F12 - right click Reload and select Empty Cache (on Chrome)

Always

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

nice, that looks to do what i want. I would like to hide the "carrot" on the right tho (if that's what its called). Could still collapse but the button itself would be invisible, i think it would make it look a little cleaner.

elder pendant Feb 16, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

I like the idea of the tree graphic that you had made. Visual representations are always nice

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

yea

prime umbra Feb 16, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

ya but from what i see it hides

raven nacelle Feb 16, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

will be hard to tell without the ^ sign if there are child entities

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

i don't see that as a problem, when it's not collapsed you'd know the child entities cause their icons would be indented. it's true that they'd be hidden when collapsed, but if the user collapsed it they should know the same action would show it show it again.. this wouldn't have to be the default either but more of an "advanced" option, ie show_icon: false

elder pendant Feb 16, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

You could highlight collapsed groups a different color as well. Lots of options for UX 😃

mossy gale Feb 16, 2019, 9:54 PM

does the canvas-gauge-card still work these days? I am trying to use it for first time in a few months and getting the 'custom card does not exist" message, yet it is shown and upto date in my custom card tracker.

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

is there a way to kind of replicate the "groups" feature from the old ui? for re-using code in multiple views.

#

like i want some tv controls on both my default_view and a seperate "entertainment" view and don't want to update that twice.. i was thinking of maybe include files but don't know if there's a better way.

young sable Feb 16, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

can you not just use groups? @latent moss

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

they dont work in lovelace i dont think

mossy gale Feb 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

i thought they did behind the UI

#

just not in the UI

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

well this would be shown in the ui

young sable Feb 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

I mean, I can select a group as an entity for a lovelace card

#

but idk if thats too simple

#

lol

#

unsure what youre trying to do

latent moss Feb 16, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

i basically want to have a dedicated media tab with all the harmony controls etc, but also show parts of that as conditionals on my default_view .. so when the tv is on, the default_view would show remote buttons etc. don't really want to have the code duplicated in two tabs if i don't have to.

#

i was thinking something along these lines would make it easier to re-use code across multiple views, but don't really know.

      - type: conditional
        conditions:
          - entity: media_player.tv
            state: "on"
        card:
      - !include /config/lovelace/remote_card.yaml

hi all i need some help.

i have this command in my ui-lovelace https://pastebin.com/HK4jC6xF

It works with turning on my tv and of. how do i combine them into one tap to turn on and of my tv?

#

actually i only have the one half of what is written in pastebin. i can choose to set it as a off button or on. not both 😦

wheat current Feb 16, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

use switch.toggle instead of homeassistant.turn_* for the sevice

astral plover Feb 16, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

ok, i will try thanks

#

thanks that worked, however there must be something wrong with my switch then because it only tuirns on the tv, would you mind haveing a quick look at it?

I really need help to figure out why my lovelace looks so weird. I am currently trying to get a nice Xiaomi Vacuum view going. I found abeksis' setup, that looks really good, so wanted to use that as a basis: https://github.com/abeksis/My-HomeAssistant-Config/blob/master/HA_Pictures/Lovelace_Screenshots/06.robut.jpg
However, as much as I have been trying, I cannot get it to look like his. Also in google chrome, it is messed up, where as in Edge, it looks closer to righ, but still not quite:

Anyone knows how can I add the slider to dim the lights in the default lovelace card for lights. All of them are LIFX bulbs

elder pendant Feb 17, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

Like this https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/light/ ? Or a horizontal slider?

noble tiger Feb 17, 2019, 1:14 AM

Horizontal would be best

elder pendant Feb 17, 2019, 1:19 AM

thomasloven has a custom card for that https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-slider-entity-row

Well... crap. It’s quarter to three AM, and I’ve spent the last three hours writing a damn LEXER in javascript...

junior onyx Feb 17, 2019, 3:32 AM

#

I don't suppose anyone is going to tell me there's an equivalent for light.switch for scenes?

#

@split granite since you know everything... is there the equiv of light.switch for scenes?

kind shellBOT Feb 17, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

Tinkerer is away for 5h 13m 5s with a message :point_right: Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

i don't think it's possible to have a switch @junior onyx , because scenes don't have an on/off state. If you look at states page states all scenes always say "scening"

junior onyx Feb 17, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

thanks.

#

my camera is not showing in lovelace card, and i dont know how to see if it's even "Working": to know whether the problem is hass, ffmpeg, home assistant, lovelace...

@latent moss but you CAN do a group of two lights!

steel monolith Feb 17, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

I apologize if I've missed this in my searching, but I haven't found what I feel like is a definitive answer....
Is there any way to automatically hide a badge? There were several sensors that only displayed badges if they were relevant, but since starting to use Lovelace, they are always displayed.

#

For example.... update.update was a badge that would only display if there were an update to Home Assistant in the States UI.

#

I'm wondering if this functionality will be restored/enabled in lovelace, especially since the UI offers the ability to set the hidden: attribute in Configuration > Customization through the UI.

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

@steel monolith not currently. Badges will likely be reworked to be more like cards and allow for conditions and filters

steel monolith Feb 17, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

@mild veldt Thanks. I was just putting the final touches on a sensor for acuparse to pull in weather information, and was wanting to hide the badges for values like "rain rate" if it's not raining, and "feels like" if it's the same as the actual temp. I've been banging my head for the past week trying to figure this out.

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

Even with a card that wouldn't be possible unless you made some template sensors to report states

steel monolith Feb 17, 2019, 4:59 AM

#

I would like to see an "attribute filter" option. Something that could honor the "hidden" attributes used by the States UI. That is the only thing I'm missing after switching to lovelace.

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 5:01 AM

#

If you want something hidden, just remove it from Lovelace

steel monolith Feb 17, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

But I want to hide it dynamically based on attributes- not permanently. For example - if there is no rain for the day, hide the rainfall total and rainfall rate - but display them if the rainfall total > 0.

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

Template sensors along with conditional and/or filters

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

is it possible to use navigate with regular entity type rows? trying to link the "time driving today" to my cars view https://i.imgur.com/DpPoy0X.png

#

when i do this,

        - type: entities
          entities:
            - sensor.time_away_today
            - entity: sensor.time_driving_today
              name: Time Driving Today
              tap_action:
                action: navigate
                navigation_path: /lovelace/cars/

it just pops up the more-info view rather than navigating...

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 5:16 AM

#

Rows do not have tap actions https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/

#

That being said, I don't see a reason why they couldn't. Can you submit a FR to ui-schema?

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

yeah will do. i think the feature set should be uniform for all card types

Pretty sure that's not exposed via Lovelace at all, or (currently) any other part of the UI

#

It might come through the system_health component of 0.88, not sure

Did I see a change in GitHub for persistent notifications in Lovelace?

hexed owl Feb 17, 2019, 12:45 PM

#

question… is there a way to set a switch.template or similar, depending on whether a monster-card has entities…? i'm guessing the cards entities list is javascript only, and out of hass's reach, so i'd have to arrange for the card to reach back and toggle like an input_boolean, instead…? (assuming, of course, that's even possible…)

#

also, is there a "proper" way to signal errors in a card definition… both fatal (ie. the red error message where the card should be) and non-fatally (ie. log the condition, and assume the default value).

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

@sleek warren persistent notifications are already there in the bell. I have a PR to add a count to the indicator that is open, but that’s it

sleek warren Feb 17, 2019, 2:09 PM

Was hoping for cards :) knew about the bell but not as nice for urgent notifications to be popped up on the screen making themselves known

I'm right where you are. I got it to work when Lovelace was still in beta. But not that it's gone live, I can't remember how I got it to work

I'm going to look that up

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

@mild veldt lol thanks. i followed your suggestion from the other day about having a script/automation to handle toggling all the input_booleans on/off automatically and was able to come up with a pretty slick tabbed view concept. No longer have to click twice to hide/show, clicking on one toggles all the others off. Still WIP but it works very nicely so far, i basically am fitting 3+ stacks in the size of one. https://gfycat.com/SneakyLeanDogwoodtwigborer

vapid field Feb 17, 2019, 6:15 PM

@mild veldt : Ha! It worked! I didn't know I also could enter other values than percent (%). I've set aspect now to "aspect_ratio: calc(100vh - 112px)" and this seems to do the trick! 😃

@latent moss what are you using for sleep tracking?

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

just a bayesian sensor, so it checks if it's a certain time, if my lights are off, if my tv is off etc. and then when i plug my phone in at night is when it triggers the bedtime routine (turns on fan, plays ambient music on my google home hub). the time slept today is a history_stats and the other stuff is inpute_datetime

bleak lily Feb 17, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

I have a horizontal stack in in that I have 3 vertical stacks. This results in a 3 column layout and all cards stay in their position.
Now in the ui editor I can only edit the vertical stacks and not the cards within the stack.
The issue here is, that the vertical stack preview get's kind of high and the save button is not visible anymore.
Is it planed to allow to edit single cards separately that are 2 level deep into stacks instead of the whole stack?

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 6:20 PM

@latent moss slick. I'll steal that idea as well 😉

bleak lily Feb 17, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

What about a drag'n'drop feature for the cards? So you don't have to move the card up/down but instead just drag it where you want it. And for stacks you have like a visual fence around them and can drag cards into them.

#

Something like:
https://codepen.io/TLJens/pen/rayYRe

#

Or like that:

I use the last example on this page https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entity-filter/ to show which lights are on. But I cant figure out how I get the toogle on tap_action for the entities shown in the card?

#

My code so far: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k4h7skBVck/

odd light Feb 17, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

they show you how to do it in the glance card doc.

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

#

- entity: switch.wall_plug_switch
   tap_action:
     action: toggle

#

for example

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:14 PM

#

Yes, but the main-card in mine is a entity-filter. I dont want to configure all entities twice.

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 8:19 PM

@copper mural does this work? https://hastebin.com/ofoyulimok.bash

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

@mild veldt Yes that work. Thanks 😃

I am having a super hard time figuring out how to resize and arrange cards. Is there any beginners guide anywhere? My weather page currently looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/0QTIl9Q.png . The cards are a little bit small for my screen size. However on my tablet, it would look pretty good if they were at least arranged side by side instead of on top of each other. Putting type: horizontal under the view title does not change anything.

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

@devout loom Does 'panel: true' make any difference?

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

I'll check

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

You set it as attribute to the view.

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

that makes it look weird, and my iframe underneath is gone

#

it stretches the weathercoard horizontally

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

Yes it just render the first card in full width.

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

card*

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

How does your code look like?

#

hastebin it.

#

Change your layout to vertical-stack.

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

https://hastebin.com/jiticorifu.bash

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

And the iframe in same vertical-stack. Else it just render the first card in full width.

#

Just change to

#

type: vertical-stack

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

doesn't change anything 😦

#

with and without panel: true, vertical-stack, horizontal-stack and nothing for type is the same

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I haven't tried that custom-card you use. Might be a limitation in that?

#

How does you `dark-sky-wather-card.css´ looks like?

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

seems the same for my other views, where I have really basic cards

#

https://github.com/iammexx/home-assistant-config/tree/master/ui/darksky

copper mural Feb 17, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

I have no idea then, sorry.

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I think I found out why horizontal and vertical stack was not working now

#

  - title: Weather
    icon: mdi:weather-cloudy
    cards:
      - type: horizontal-stack
        cards:
        - type: 'custom:dark-sky-weather-card'
.......

#

I needed to do like that, type does not go under the view, but under the first card..

#

But, it did not exactly do what I expected: https://i.imgur.com/b72fBvi.png

hi quick question - is grafana still best integrated into the lovelace UI via the camera card?

short zephyr Feb 17, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

@latent moss nice work, any chance of sharing the yaml for this https://i.imgur.com/Iu8RKc6.png?

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

and this @latent moss https://gfycat.com/sneakyleandogwoodtwigborer xD

short zephyr Feb 17, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

which custom card is it that does the tab button things?

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

@vapid field for now. I'm hoping to create a custom card soon that can do dynamic time ranges

#

@short zephyr that's just scripts and conditionals inside of stacks

#

i.e. clicking sleep status will turn off booleans for alarm and statics and turn on the boolean for sleep status that in then inside a conditional card

#

The configuration is a nightmare to deal with, but results in really cool stuff. Hopefully we can offer some more intuitive ways to configure it in the UI in the near term

signal pine Feb 17, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

i'm really intrigued by those tiny colored buttons/cards. are those quick buttons for scenes/colors of the light? I could definitely use something like that. probably just a picture-entity, right? With a really small background picture?

vapid field Feb 17, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

thanks @mild veldt

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

@signal pine my guess is the custom button-card

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

@short zephyr here you go. it requires kuuji's custom:button-card (which imo should really be part of core, it's so much better). https://hastebin.com/abewicupil.bash

#

and yes the tab button things is a horizontal-stack for the three "tab" buttons, then conditional vertical-stacks and three input_booleans (one for each stack). the only custom part of it is kuuji's button-card . will post the code later.

signal pine Feb 17, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

this one? https://github.com/kuuji/button-card

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

that's the one

signal pine Feb 17, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

wow yeah this looks way better than the built in one

#

thanks! i'm gonna have some fun tonight!

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

it really is a million times better imo, you could have different icon colors for different states and all sorts of neat stuff.

devout loom Feb 17, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

Can any of you guys tell me how to get these two cards arranged side by side instead of above each other? https://i.imgur.com/0QTIl9Q.png I've been trying for hours to no avail

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

also for those with harmony remotes, i used the same concept of those minimal custom:button-card icons to re-create the colored button row on the remote (still wip) https://i.imgur.com/Mr3OjeO.png

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

@latent moss the core button will likely expand over time, but will also likely never be as customizable as button-card. But that's the beauty of LL. Each will always have their place and provide users choice

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

@mild veldt well the problem i see is that w/ these custom cards they can break in updates and it's up to the creator to keep things maintained and hopefully not abandoned. i've already seen a post that there's issues with these buttons displaying in 0.88b for example. i assume it'll get fixed before that releases, but it kind of made me think a bit on the "dangers" of using too much custom stuff.

#

also these buttons don't support hold_actions, so it's a bit frustrating when you can do certain things in some buttons and other things in another, kinda wish this would get standardized a bit more. i'm sure it'll get there eventually though.

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

button card is probably a bad example. a better one is my roku card or mini-media-player. there are lots of platform specific things in them, where core is more about domains

#

and there's thomas' cards. balloob would never let that crazy man put those things in core. lmao

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

well mini-media-player is another one i think should be core tbh 😛 i get what you're saying though

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

custom cards are here to stay, but perhaps how they are structured and use dependencies needs to change

#

we're not going to ever impliment a card that has sonos specific stuff per example

#

but a dumbed down version, perhaps

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

so how about an idea of "card extensions" if that makes sense... like there'd be a core media player (hopefully based off mini-media-player) as the base.. and then people can hook into that and provide the sonos stuff as extensions basically. if that makes sense.

sudden lion Feb 17, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

implement it as a sonos card 😄

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

or perhaps a custom-card gallery section built-in, similar to hassio addons section

mild veldt Feb 17, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

@latent moss that is the plan

solid wyvern Feb 17, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

@latent moss how did you get the custom icon in the light card? The yaml you posted only appears to have the icon specified in the button-card sections.... am I blind

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

@solid wyvern that's just using home assistant customize feature.. you can have it in your customize.yaml if you use one, i use packages so this is in my lights.yaml file

homeassistant:
  customize:
    light.sean_desk_light_strip:
      icon: mdi:led-strip

solid wyvern Feb 17, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

oooooooooooh. sweet! Thanks

#

I can get rid of my own custom card.... I really need to read more lol

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

tho i think u might be able to specify it directly on that card, like this (haven't tried)

          - type: horizontal-stack
            cards:
              - type: light
                entity: light.sean_desk_light_strip
                name: Desk Light Strip
                icon: mdi:led-strip

solid wyvern Feb 17, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

hmm I'll try

#

nope, that doesn't work

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

might need to "reload core" (under configuration -> general) that reloads the icon type stuff. but if not, just use the customize part, that way you don't have to specify it every time

solid wyvern Feb 17, 2019, 11:39 PM

#

yeah, that's probably easiest....
now I just need to work out why horizontal-stacks don't work the way I expect they should. I see some comments up above about using panel: true that I might see if that works for me

#

hmm, nope, off too google. When I don't use stacks my icons fill the width of my screen. When I add a stack it only fills the center of my screen. I'll go do some reading

latent moss Feb 17, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

yea i gotta look into that as well. i mapped ps4 controller buttons using picture-elements and horizontal-stack (took me forever no css experience) and then it a day later it appeared totally differently, depressing lol

solid wyvern Feb 17, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

lol

#

ah got it!

#

Now, I have to look into making it wrap entities on smaller screens. I thought that would happen automatically 😦

forest mica Feb 18, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

is it strange that when i made a test pop up card with two pop up entities. it made the same two entities have the pop up capability in my other entity-slider-row card?

latent moss Feb 18, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

@mild veldt here's my sleep_tracking.yaml package as promised, i wanted to clean it up and remove all the messy comments but am too lazy sorry lol, it might be more helpful to have them anyway https://hastebin.com/habexapipa.coffeescript

mild veldt Feb 18, 2019, 1:28 AM

@forest mica Popup card applies to an entity ANYWHERE on the view

#

Nice @latent moss

forest mica Feb 18, 2019, 1:32 AM

roger!

i see now that i have moved it it doesnt work. hopeuflly i can nest it back in

https://hastebin.com/esapaxecag.bash
that didnt work

mild veldt Feb 18, 2019, 1:57 AM

#

Popup card is it’s own thing. It doesn’t matter where it is

#

I take that back. It should be at the top level of a view

#

It applies a listener on the entity you define on that full view

#

So , for example, if you apply it to x and then have x in an entities card and then also in a glance card, it would apply to be

hi guys, any idea why lovelace might not load resources?
i'm having exactly the same issue as described here:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/adding-custom-resources-with-lovelace-in-storage-mode/93268

trying to add custom element slider-entry-row, and getting "custom element doesn't exist" error
i tried adding resources to both the UI raw editor and to ui-lovelace.yaml in yaml mode - neither works
how do i find why it's not working?

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 3:05 AM

#

Are you using the UI editor or ui-lovelace.yaml? You cant use both

coarse timber Feb 18, 2019, 3:05 AM

#

i tried both (enabling and disabling yaml mode in my configuration.yaml)

#

right now i'm using UI editor

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

Can you post your raw ui?

coarse timber Feb 18, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

i verified that the /local/slider-entry-row.js file is available, if i load it dynamically through javascript console in chrome dev tool, it works, so it's lovelace that is not loading the file for some reason

Hi! stupid question maybe but am I correct in that a switch to yaml config for the FE is as simple as copy pasting the "raw editor yaml" in the GUI to /config/ui-lovelace.yaml add lovelace: \n mode: yaml to HA config?

Yes, unless you have custom cards. Then there is a bit more work

wheat current Feb 18, 2019, 4:03 PM

Hi,
is there any way of being able to control an Input Number with the Thermostat card?

  - type: thermostat
    entity: input_number.office

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

#

Or of course: Main thing is that I need a numeric number I can send into my "more complicated" python-script thermostat

mild veldt Feb 18, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

@stable flower might want to look at this https://www.home-assistant.io/components/climate.generic_thermostat/

stable flower Feb 18, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

Thanks, but see my last comment. Basically I have a python-script that determines the Z-point of the generic thermostat.

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

Thermostat cards display thermostats, not input numbers. You would have to turn your script into a generic thermostat

stable flower Feb 18, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

Is it possible to make an "Input card"?

wheat current Feb 18, 2019, 5:58 PM

How about putting it in a entity card? 🤷‍♀️

I do, and then I have a slider. But the slider is kinda hard to hit correctly. Know this is a minor issue 😃

wheat current Feb 18, 2019, 6:00 PM

Have two button cards then. 😜

stable flower Feb 18, 2019, 6:01 PM

one for up and one for down?

#

sounds like a good solution, thanks! Will figure out how to do that

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 6:07 PM

Make a script for incrementing by one and decrementing by one, and just make service calls to those scripts with buttons

fiery sail Feb 18, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

moving over from hassio forum....I have a strange issue where an MQTT switch's state is not updating properly

#

I have a command topic and a state topic defined but nothing to return the proper state.....so I expect the switch to turn off after turned on

#

but the switch appears to stay on.....but its state IS off in the States tool

#

I have to refresh the page to get the switch state to show correctly

hmm

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

So the button works, but it doesn't update on your frontend until you refresh? @fiery sail ?

fiery sail Feb 18, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

correct

#

refreshing Chrome will update to the correct state

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

What kind of card are you using for the switch?

fiery sail Feb 18, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

this is a fresh install of HASSOS so I'm assuming it's using an entities card

#

yeah, it appears to be an entities card after entering configuration

#

could it be on my end?

#

maybe a browser cache issue or something

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

I've had stuff like this happen when the device is taking longer than usual to respond to the service. You could try clearing the cache to see if it helps

fiery sail Feb 18, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

in this case, there is no device....i was having issues with my main install so I spun up another fresh instance just to test it

#

nope...wasn't it

#

oh well

#

looks like something broke between 86.1 & 87.1

#

just rolled back and it's working there

#

@elder pendant , is this something someone should be aware of?

#

or just wait and it'll work itself out

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

You could open an issue on github, just make sure you provide all the relevant details

Not sure about the default cards but there are custom cards that work with that type of wildcard

monster cards

gentle tide Feb 18, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

yes. monster cards is another custom card that works with wildcards

ornate pendant Feb 18, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

yeah tinkerer told me already, but thats not possible with the default cards, is it?

gentle tide Feb 18, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

I'm not sure about the default cards. I only use a couple since most are so limited.

ornate pendant Feb 18, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

hm

#

i cleared at least my config from not existing entities :-D.

gentle tide Feb 18, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

If I do use a default card, I am typically modifying it in some way with another custom card

ornate pendant Feb 18, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

my custom cauge sensor i have to integrate somehow

#

i dont even have a ui-lovelace.yaml

gentle tide Feb 18, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

you only need that if you are using Yaml mode for Lovelace

ornate pendant Feb 18, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

do i need to override smth in .storage? as it looks like its the new store for settings

#

i want to include monster cards

gentle tide Feb 18, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

I'll defer to others as I am not using Storage mode and don't know how that mode works

Hi all,i have updated the "custom updater to 4.1.3 , and followed the instructions , now all custom cards are with errors , any idea how to fix the issue ( without using the snapshot?)

lilac elbow Feb 18, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

Hi, I just went from using the UI configurer to YAML mode but after putting yaml mode in to the config and restarting HA, it seems Im still stuck in the UI Configurer, any idea why?

#

I do have a ui-lovelace.yaml file with stuff in it

elder pendant Feb 18, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

Did you add lovelace to your configuration.yaml?

lilac elbow Feb 18, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

lovelace:
mode: yaml

#

saved, restarted HA

gentle tide Feb 18, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

are the permissions correct on the ui-lovelace.yaml file?

#

should be the same as configuration.yaml

calm rock Feb 18, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

anyone with custom updater latest version , and a working lovelace UI , for the custom cards ?

lilac elbow Feb 18, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

@gentle tide :
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 5998 feb 19 00:30 configuration.yaml*
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 3817 feb 19 00:21 ui-lovelace.yaml*

#

and I deleted the lovelace file in /.storage too

#

Problem fixed, dont know what it was, rebooted a few more times

now I seem to be in yaml mode

I got the "Refresh" now

@calm rock I broke quite a few custom cards in the most recent beta. Are you on beta?

calm rock Feb 19, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

No im not no beta @mild veldt

I was forced to reload the snapshot , as the only way to restablish the order

The problem are not the custom cards , but the last version of the updater

this is a dumb question but i am simply trying to change the color of a card in the ui-lovelace.yaml. I cannot seem to find the answer googling. background_color: XXXX does not seem to work

elder pendant Feb 19, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

That's because XXXX isn't a color 😉

dark aspen Feb 19, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

well i am using a color code.

elder pendant Feb 19, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

What kind of card is it

dark aspen Feb 19, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

entities

elder pendant Feb 19, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

You can change style properties of cards using this custom card modder https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-modder

dark aspen Feb 19, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

okay thanks i will try that!

dark aspen Feb 19, 2019, 2:40 AM

@elder pendant thanks, got it up and running sucessfully

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

Does someone have a good example of how to group cards with a title but, still have them automatically resize for smaller screens.
I'm finding that what looks ok on desktop is not scaling well for phones

#

For instance the light card works fine with 4 in a horizontal-stack on a larger screen but, only 2 on a smaller screen

You don't have to, but IMO that is the "good" option.
You can also use compact-custom-header to only show your mobile views on mobile

Good morning, I have Galaxy Tab A running Android 8.1 with latest Chrome/WebView and Fully Kiosk Browser. HA is shown all of the time, but the display turns off after 60s and turns back on when motion is detectec via the front camera. I have noticed that cards displaying graphs are not automatically updated, but all other cards are always up-to-date. Is that a known issue or something specific to Fully Kiosk Browser?

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

not sure But since you see this, how about testing it on another device / browser? 😃

strong furnace Feb 19, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

good point, I will leave a tab with HA running on my Windows machine

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

I'm only new to HA but, I think over the past few days I've started my UI about 4 times. I suppose everyone goes through this at the beginning but ugh.... I just can't seem to find something I like.
The light card is pretty good but, it can't be resized.
Oh well, part of the fun I guess

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

If you Invest time in UI, it can look quite awesome, for me that will never be an option 😜

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

lol, yeah I've seen some pretty amazing examples and it makes me be excited and depressed all at the same time

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

Most of the good/advanced examples uses a lot of custom cards to get it how they want

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

yeah, I've got custom cards working (even modified one to try do something I wanted) but, someone on here mentioned that custom cards can be a pain when new updates come along because your UI can break pretty easily

#

So I've gone round in circles a bit trying to figure out how I should do my UI

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

It depends, there are cards from the summer when Lovelace launched that still works

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

yeah, I've been looking at a few of ThomasLoven cards and they seem to be constantly updated to keep working and he's always been pretty quick to answer my questions here

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:21 AM

#

If you go with his cards you should be quite safe 😃

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:21 AM

#

I also like the Kuuji button-card and it seems to be pretty popular

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:23 AM

#

It is, but that one have an issue with 0.88 (beta)

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

aah well.... I mean I assume it will be fixed soon. How long do betas last for.
(One day I'll hopefully be able to contribute to the code. First have to learn how it works :P)

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

The betas are one week, will end Wednesday

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

A lot of the features in that card will end up in core very soon I believe

solid wyvern Feb 19, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

Yeah, I saw a forum topic saying something like that @timid burrow

vapid field Feb 19, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

Anyone know if jinja scripts are possible in ui-lovelace.yaml?

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 8:43 AM

#

You can't, if Lovelace-gen still works you can use that

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

i dont know if somebody answered my question already, (im new to lovelace) how can i add custom_cards (monster card) without ui-lovelace.yaml do i need to add it there or are there other ways too?

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

You can edit lovelace in raw mode.

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:16 AM

#

and how can i install the custom_card there?

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

Exactly the same as you would using yaml mode

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

oh okay.

#

add card to www folder and include it there.

#

who came to the idea to move cards around with arrows? drag and drop is hopefully coming, i have like 30 cards on my main view.

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

It’s coming...

#

I have been using yaml file for major edits and then cut/paste to the raw editor... but with recent lovelace changes that’s less necessary. You can move cards in the ui editor by using the arrow on the card... It’s a little kludgey but improving.

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

wildcard entities selection is just possible according to the entity name and not friendly name or smth like that?

#

my idea was that i can have friendly names with living_room included.

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

Iirc you can use wildcard on attributes as well

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

and then select everything what is lr or living_room in the name, to dynamically create cards.

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

Entity name... you will need the auto-entities card for wildcards

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:29 AM

#

do you guys might have some examples available, as its the best way to get into it, if somebody designed it already dynamically 😉

#

or repo 😃

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:31 AM

#

https://github.com/DavidFW1960/home-assistant is mine... look in ui-lovelace.yaml for examples

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:32 AM

#

thanks a lot 😉

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:32 AM

#

👍

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

okay now i know what you mean with auto-entities.

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:35 AM

#

They are awesome...

#

I use it for nsw warnings that change - come and go all the time and also for listing stuff like all automations without having to add every one

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:38 AM

#

i see

                  include:
                    - entity_id: "geo_location.nsw_fire_service_feed_*"

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:38 AM

#

Yes.. so they all start with that and then the * is a wildcard

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:39 AM

#

yeah, thats bascially what i try to achieve, i want that with friendly name like

*living_room*

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:40 AM

#

If the entity has a friendly name defined in customize it will display that

#

You will see I have for example unfriendly names for my Yeelights..... but they display using what I have in customize

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

yeah my yeelights are double, as i have them configured manually and the auto-conf was working at some point 😄

#

okay not just the display name thats clear, like in the old dashboard, i mean really the selection

#

as i can't decide how xiaomi sensors are named

#

and i want to group them dynamically together.

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:44 AM

#

Yes same here... I had them via discovery but sometimes they took 20 minutes or longer to show up so I added them to ignore for discovery and manually configured them. I didn’t use a different name because all my automations etc.... so I just maintained the name but they display in a friendly way

#

You need to find the pattern and the auto-entities will do the rest - but you need to customize them to show friendly names. Done once done forever

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:46 AM

#

so the auto-entities works with friendly names too?

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:47 AM

#

No... you need to use the entity ID but it will display with the friendly name

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:48 AM

#

okay thats what i meant

#

the entity id of xiaomi sensor is fixed.

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:48 AM

#

Yes and there will be a pattern you can exploit

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:49 AM

#

yeah but just for like temperature

#

but not for rooms

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:50 AM

#

No. But if they are fixed, just add them manually... it’s not like they constantly change and need to be dynamic is it?

slow wave Feb 19, 2019, 9:50 AM

@timid burrow I use the monster card for seventeentrack, but I still haven't figured out how to change the default showing info of the entities, I would rather have it only show the memo instead of "seventeentrack memo" and show "info text" rather than "state" by default, any ideas on that? 😁

#

Need to use a template

slow wave Feb 19, 2019, 9:52 AM

Will that work with wildcards and monster card? I couldn't figure out how 🤣

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:52 AM

#

Link to my github above... look in my packages for some examples..

#

I don’t use the monster card

#

It would depend on the sensor names you create if it would work with auto-entities

slow wave Feb 19, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

Bookmarked 👌 I only knew about monster card to populate dynamically with wildcards

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

Ah.. well I’ve never used that card

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 9:58 AM

#

@timid burrow i have like 80 xiaomi sensors, they have clear structured friendly_names, a wildcard selection for that would be great, would save a lot additional efforts.

strong furnace Feb 19, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

@wheat current: I can confirm that the history-graph card does not auto-update in Chrome 72 on Windows either

timid burrow Feb 19, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

You could try putting them in groups and using the group in the auto-entities.... I have not tried that but maybe

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 10:00 AM

is storage mode , the opposite as the yaml config mode ?

#

or the alternative of yaml mode?

#

never mind , found the video .

ornate pendant Feb 19, 2019, 12:59 PM

does somebody has a card to display last updated older than 2 days of battery powered sensors?

fair prism Feb 19, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

Afternoon all. Ive been avoiding lovelace as much as I can because I hate the idea of an interface. Now i need to start making things look pretty and allocate rooms ETC. For someone thats new to lovelace, would you suggest GUI or YAML. Im just worried that the GUI might not offer enough which means ill need to move to YAML in the future anyways.

wheat current Feb 19, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

I'm not a UI guy myself, so I'm probably the wrong person to give advice on this.
But with card-editors (where supported) and raw-editor for all others, I don't have any compelling reasons to use yaml mode 🤷

fair prism Feb 19, 2019, 1:56 PM

Can you switch between either at a later stange?
