like, one with JS

[fathom mantle]

is there a card that allows me to enter text and pass it to a configured service? I have a speak utility that sends whatever I type in to alexa. It monitors service calls and sends whatever it gets to alexa. So I need that ability to enter a text string and after hitting enter or pressing a submit button, it calls a service and passes the appropriate data through.

[latent moss]

@fathom mantle probably an input_text (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/input_text/) inside of an entity type card

[tribal nimbus]

Anyone know if vertical and horizontal stack are fixed on mobile yet?

[timid burrow]

i didn't realise they were broken

[timid wigeon]

Not sure if this is related to Lovelace but anyone know why my Google Home displays it's timer sensor in HA like this: Living Room Speaker Timer 2019-02-27T03:17:55+00:00?

[mortal cape]

Isn't it an alarm sensor?

[timid wigeon]

There's the alarm and the sensor.living_room_speaker_timer

[mortal cape]

Hmm I haven't tried it yet. I doubt it is Lovelace related.

[timid wigeon]

Yea probably not. I thought I'd set up a conditional card if there is an timer running

[copper mural]

How to know if an custom-card should be used as module or js? Can it be figured out by the code?

[wheat current]

AFAIK all cards can be modules, and if it import stuff from other files it has to be, but I'm not a frontend guy so I might be wrong 🤷‍♀️

[pine bane]

Just a question regarding lovelace im running haasbian, if i upgrade to the latest version now will all my configs etc be converted to lovelace? Or is there an easy way to do a conversion? I remember seeing some migration scripts but what would the output be from them?

[split granite]

You don't need to do anything

[warm stone]

Do I need to do something with the custom updater card to get it to work again after the update?

[polar kelp]

Did you upgrade it to version 4?

[warm stone]

According the the card I have 4.2.15

[polar kelp]

I'm not using it myself, but I think it isn't doing the cache invalidation trick with the version numbers anymore... so it might be that all you need is a hard refresh

In chrome: F12, right click refresh button to the left of address bar, select bottom option

In safari (I think): option+cmd+E followed by cmd+R

In Edge: https://www.google.com/chrome/

On mobile: Eh... wait... I guess

[warm stone]

I just changed /local to /customcards/ as per new docs so will clear cache when it comes back

[polar kelp]

That should remove almost all caching for those cards (for good and bad), so that probably also solves it.

[visual meteor]

i added ``` - type: js
url: /local/card-modder.js?v=1

• type: js
  url: /local/card-tools.js?v=1``` to my config, but im not sure how to add round corners to a card: see link: https://ibb.co/s2LmT2y and https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/f9kX3nV9mp/ (in the chrome console, it says that card-tools is installed)

[polar kelp]

You can have rounded corners in themes now. Saves you a lot of typing. Add e.g. ha-card-border-radius: 25px to your theme definition.

Also, please read the readme for card-modder and show us what you tried rather than what you had before even attempting anything.

[warm stone]

@polar kelp looks like it just needed the local swap fpr customcards

[visual meteor]

the line border-radius: 25px doesn't do anything...... i've tried te following: https://ibb.co/mvCJ0Fh

[polar kelp]

Remove the dash from the first line

[sharp talon]

I can’t seem to add border-radius to a custom button card of type label card. I’ve tried the following:
https://ibb.co/TB2kdBP

[visual meteor]

@polar kelp https://ibb.co/4McsPSs

[polar kelp]

@visual meteor Glad you got it to work

[visual meteor]

i still have the error config.entity.split is not a function

[polar kelp]

Sure, but that's unrelated to card-modder

[visual meteor]

beside the round corners, i wanna make more visual changes 😄

okay, thanks for helping anyway

[polar kelp]

The solution is here: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/alarm-panel/

[visual meteor]

thank you 😄 finally got it working

[prime umbra]

@polar kelp all working good put at dev getting this

[prime umbra]

i got panel true in some view not in all

[polar kelp]

I released a new version of card-tools about five hours ago. Try that

[sharp talon]

Any help on my above issue?

[polar kelp]

From the source code it seems that would only work with color_type: blank-card... weird

[sharp talon]

Does something need to change in button card for this to work?

[civic sedge]

Is it possible that the lovelace-fold-entity-row dont work atm?

[sharp talon]

Mmmm setting to card and it works.

[polar kelp]

I actually think that changing line 139 to <ha-card style="color: ${fontColor}; ${config.card_style}"> could work

may need to change 141 to <div> too

@civic sedge Have you made sure you have updated fold-entity-row and card-tools?

[civic sedge]

auto updater takes luckaly care of this
6d11d3 & 01e9af - ll try it once more

[polar kelp]

Did you change your resources to use /customcards/ instead of /local/?

[civic sedge]

Lol - its my main view wich dont like it as I see 🤔

🤦

because its a glance

Working fine 😅 Thanks

[prime umbra]

@polar kelp ok fixed the problem, for some reason i had this in my raw editor

[dark tartan]

how do i show a badge for the person.xxxx entity?

[split granite]

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/views/#badges

[dark tartan]

so would i replace the entities: with badges: ?

I dont get it

[elder pendant]

A badge is a small representation of an entity that you don't (or rather should not) interact with. Like sensors or device trackers.

[dark tartan]

I know i want to show a badge for the new person component in a glance card

but don't know how

[elder pendant]

"a badge... in a glance card"... that's not how that works. Badges have nothing to do with cards

I think you just want a glance card

[dark tartan]

i have a glance card that used to show the badge image in it but now i have changed to the person component i don't see the badge image

[elder pendant]

Badge != picture or icon. You need to add a picture to the entity by customizing it. Though I'm not positive how priority works as far as picture vs icon vs name https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/

[dark tartan]

tried that doesn't work

[elder pendant]

You added the picture to the entity and it doesn't show up in the glance card? How did you add the picture?

[wheat current]

carefully

[dark tartan]

i added it to the device_tracker entity which shows the pic in the glance card but i was trying out the new person entity and tyhat doesnt show the picture which is why i asked how you can show the picture using the person entities

[elder pendant]

Did you add the picture to the person entity?

[dark tartan]

i tried to but it said invalid configuration

[elder pendant]

What exactly does it say

[dark tartan]

i also tried entity_picture and got same result

[elder pendant]

Without an exact error message it's very difficult to help

[split granite]

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/ @dark tartan

Is that what you're using?

[elder pendant]

Already linked that 😉

[split granite]

I wonder if he's not using it correctly 😉

[elder pendant]

If he's getting an invalid config then probably

I've never seen customize.yaml kick out customizations on anything before. Even if they don't really make sense

[dark tartan]

there is no way to add a picture to the person using the new person configuration so i added a person.yaml file and added the lines in there which threw back the error invalid config

[elder pendant]

You need to put the customization in customize.yaml

That's what both Tinkerer and I linked to.

[wheat current]

If I use customize: !include waterpistol.yaml should I still use customize.yaml @elder pendant ?

[elder pendant]

Well actually to be fair that page doesn't reference customize.yaml, it tells you to do it through UI

Well if you do that then you can't use the UI customization @wheat current 😉

[wheat current]

Ok by me 🤣

[split granite]

Well, the page also tells you to put it under homeassistant: 😉

[dark tartan]

it doesn't mention the new person entity there either

[elder pendant]

It is for all entities

It does go under homeassistant: though

[split granite]

The entity is irrelevant

[elder pendant]

Oh I see what you're saying. I pulled a dumb

[wheat current]

I think he is saying #330944238910963714 are better? maybe 🤷‍♀️

[elder pendant]

I think he's just saying the config would never go under the person component directly in configuration.yaml, it will always be somewhere under homeassistant:

[split granite]

Yup, though now we've clarified it's not actually about badges this is entirely #330944238910963714 territory

[dark tartan]

lol i asked in home assistant and they sent me here

[elder pendant]

Because you asked about badges

[dark tartan]

they look like badges so i called them badges

[split granite]

🤷 consider this a learning moment, about some of the terminology 😉

[dark tartan]

ok adding it to customize.yaml didn't work either i;ll just stick to the life360 entity till they worked on the person component some more

[vapid tapir]

Anyone using the lovelace folding-entity-row plugin with hass.io 87+

this custom card was working perfect in 86

[polar kelp]

Did you update it and card-tools?

[vapid tapir]

I did a few days ago

I git is updated, I'll check it

should folding-entity-row be set to module or js ?

[polar kelp]

Js

There’s some troubleshooting information in the install guide

[vapid tapir]

the latest card tools fixed it

thanks for the great work!

If I upgrade hass.io to 88 is anything going to break?

[split granite]

If you upgrade Home Assistant, then be sure to read the release notes 😉

~faq

[kind shell]

There are a number of FAQs at https://home-assistant.io/faq/, including one explaining the difference between Home Assistant (the software) and Hass.io (an installer) https://www.home-assistant.io/faq/#home-assistant-vs-hassio.

[vapid tapir]

I did read them

but the 88 change to how custom stuff is more relevant for devs

[split granite]

Then you'll know that Hass.io is an installer for Home Assistant

Home Assistant is the thing you'll be upgrading to 0.88

[vapid tapir]

i kind of use them interchangable sorry

[split granite]

However, that's all discussions for #330944238910963714 not #frontend-archived 😉

They're not interchangeable 😉

[vapid tapir]

well HA 88 says it has breaking changes for custom stuff

but I don't see a way to know which of my custom components will stop working

anyways, it's off topic

so nevermind

[polar kelp]

Anything that depends on card-tools should be ok

And I’d guess most other cards are fixed by now too.

[tired hare]

Firefox decided to downgrade itself ? (odd behaviour ....) was running the beta 😦

Hi people. I am hoping someone can help me...I am trying to use include files for LoveLace as my file is getting big, however it's not working

I have a card in the webif for a device that was added through Discovery. I removed the device from my network, how do i remove the card from HA ?

Now the card just shows the device as unavailable, which it is, since i threw it out

[prisma swallow]

Just click on edit GUI in the top right corner when you are on the page that has the card, then click the bin to delete the card. Hit the cross at the top left to exit edit mode

I could have that slightly wrong as I'm going off bad memory 🤔

[restive lance]

Configure ui

[prisma swallow]

That's it

[restive lance]

there is no bin

there is tripledots / Delete

[prisma swallow]

Hang on, I'll grab my laptop

[restive lance]

too late...just tripledot/deleted it

😜

[prisma swallow]

Cool

[wheat current]

There is a bin if you click edit om the card

[restive lance]

looking at my other devices (which aren't unavailable devices), there is no bin

🤷

there is Toggle editor , Cancel, and Save

anyway, the offending card is history :p

[prisma swallow]

Oh well, you got it deleted. Like I said, I was running off bad memory! Maybe it's different cards that have the bin somewhere..?

[wheat current]

Hmm.. looks like bin is only on views

[restive lance]

my sanity is intact.

kinda

[errant birch]

when I use states it adapts to the changes I make by adding / removing entities.. is there similar functionality for lovelace or is it a "statically" configured interface ?

For a "finished" setup I guess it would be fine but for developement and adding stuff a view that simply show all is a must imho

[wheat current]

Give control back to HA and it will be automagic

[civic sedge]

Mhmm - Is it possible that the custom:slider-entity-row' is deam hungry? - my main view taking like 20 secconds to load

or do I maybe need the card loader?

[icy robin]

@polar kelp , thank you for the continues development of card-tools! I just looked through your recent commits and the changes in the template parser. I see that there is some new code related to parsing functions - is that ready for use yet (thinking about the date formatting request).

[polar kelp]

Oh right. Forgot about that one...

Yes, the parser is ready for use.

The only function it handles for now is if(condition, then, else), though.

[icy robin]

Do you envision it being able execute external functions down the road?

[polar kelp]

See https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-useful-markdown-card - but it works everywhere that uses the parser, like card-modder and this: https://github.com/MizterB/lovelace-secondaryinfo-entity-row

Maybe, if I get a convincing use case.

Just realized the readme for useful-markdown-card is wrong. It says only else can be an if function call. Now then can too. And possibly parts of the condition as well...

[icy robin]

The best use case I've heard is for my secondary-entity-row....being able to format the ISO8601 date strings that are in last_changed, last_updated, and other types of entity attributes. Probably not worth recreating the wheel for a date parsing library - but if I could call functions already in the frontend, or event better, in an imported module like moment.js, that could open up a world of options and flexibility.

[polar kelp]

That's a good idea... I could make the time parser a function!

Will look into that.

In the meantime...

Ladies and gentlemen. I'm about to unveil what might be my greatest achievement yet.

@mild veldt you'll want to see this

I give you...

Nothing!

[icy robin]

[polar kelp]

Can't understand why I didn't do this sooner.

gap-card (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-gap-card) is the perfect companion the new improved layout-card (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card )!

[icy robin]

Thanks again for the card-tools features - look forward to seeing what might be done with the functions!

[past falcon]

Does anyone have a tough time having the custom swiper card loading? It's there, but often all I can see is the position indicator and none of the cards

[gritty swift]

so how do I add a custom card to lovelace?

[past falcon]

Are you using yaml mode or default?

[gritty swift]

default

[elder pendant]

https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins#installing-a-plugin

make note of this part If you are using the GUI editor for Lovelace, you can add the resources section using the Raw config editor, which you reach by entering Edit mode and then clicking the three dots in the top right corner.

DO NOT create a ui-lovelace.yaml file if you want to continue using the UI editor

[gritty swift]

@elder pendant how would https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-dark-sky-animated-weather-card/59816 translate into a type: horizontal-stack

[elder pendant]

What do you mean?

Like putting that card into a horizontal stack?

[gritty swift]

would it translate something like ```cards:

• entities:
  • entity_sun: sun.sun
    type: custom:dark-sky-weather-card```

yes

[elder pendant]

I would assume so, since it's a card

[gritty swift]

not sure if its liking the format or needs everything

[elder pendant]

Does the custom card have an entities: object? I think you just list the entities in the root of the card

At least that's what it looks like on the forum post

[gritty swift]

Please define entities error

[elder pendant]

Did you get the card to work outside a horizontal stack?

[gritty swift]

keep freezing the UI

[elder pendant]

What do you mean freezing it? Does the card show up at all or do you get errors?

[gritty swift]

cant edit the card

[forest star]

is there template for device tracker , I want to convert a binary sensor to device tracker to use with the new person feature

[gritty swift]

give me a few mins to read up more about the card and potential changes with lovelace

ah, a lot has updated in git since that post

[elder pendant]

@forest star that's a #330944238910963714 but you can just change the device_class of the binary sensor to presence and you should be able to add it to a person component

[forest star]

@elder pendant is that documented somewhere ?

[elder pendant]

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor/#device-class

[forest star]

thanks !!!

[thorny verge]

In the new cacheless version of the custom updater, using "- url: /customcards" instead of /local, do you need to still pull the .js file manually, I thought it pulled it when you ran custom_updater.check_all.
Just want to make sure it is working correctly for me, but nothing pulls down.

[summer eagle]

@polar kelp Are you running a Hotel? lol

[fair hamlet]

I did a quick google, I added the Lovelace yaml mode to my config, then I took it out. My "system health" is still showing mode as yaml and as expected I can not try out the editor. It there some else I need to do?

[latent moss]

did you restart @fair hamlet ? simply deleting it from config doesn't work immediately, must restart too.

[fair hamlet]

yes

I am running in VM on windows. I create a snapshot every time I do some upgrade to hass or Ubuntu. I was cleaning up my snapshots, so I might have been confused. I double check and it was not there, then I even restarted the OS (VM). My fear was once set to yaml mode then it was locked in. So the expectation on .88.1 that removing the yaml mode from configuration.yaml should revert back. Correct? If yes then I will do more checking for my dumb mistake. 😃

[split granite]

Correct

You may want to check that you don't also have .storage/lovelace though

[polar kelp]

@summer eagle I don’t get it...

[summer eagle]

@polar kelp all the bedroom lights

[polar kelp]

Ah! Never thought of that. Hehe

[vapid field]

I use Hue-sensor-HASS and had som problem to get in, but now i find the temperature sensor but it display none

https://imgur.com/5UENUvn

and i have no clue :/

[fair hamlet]

@split granite I don't see one.
I did run across those having issue where they added mode and a cache clear fixed it, but I did not see any going from yaml mode yes to yaml mode no having issues. I was just seeing if someone could confirm that it should work, and you just did, then my next question is can anyone confirm it does work on .88.1?

Just to see what would happen, I move my ui-lovelace.yaml out of the configurations directory. So in my configurations.yaml I do not have lovelace mode yaml on, and I do not have a ui_lovelace.yaml in the configuration directory. The system health still says yaml mode and I still have the last ui_lovelace.yaml configured showing up. Does those steps tell anyone anything?

If the configuration setting lovelace: in configurations.yaml mode yaml means use yaml, can I set mode to "edit ui" or something like that to force back to not using the yaml?

Here is where I am talking about https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/

[split granite]

You restarted Home Assistant after all that?

You checked by using Incognito mode in the browser that it's not a cache issue?

#330944238910963714 @forest star

[forest star]

sorry

[fair hamlet]

@split granite , I did not do incognito, let me check and I will get back.

Well two things I learned.

1. I get the same results in lovelace, system health still shows yaml mode.
2. I forgot my password. I have been logged on for so long, the one I expected would not work. I was able to use the old API, but how do you change a password? I have not google that yet, just discovered it was not an off the cuff thing.

I created a test user and it worked, I am surprise as an owner account that I can not see user login name or reset the password, somewhat like Active Directory users.

When I said it worked, I was talking about logging in only, the lovelace yaml is still an issue for me.

[errant birch]

@wheat current or anyone who can answer.. how do i give back management over lovelace to HA ?

[fair hamlet]

@errant birch what do you mean? I trying to see if it is the same issue I have.

[feral owl]

Hallo, Anyone know why my themes are not changing the entire webpage to the theme and only the cards?

[errant birch]

@fair hamlet I'm trying to get my lovelace to act like my states interface. Every time I add or remove a componenet or entity I get missing stuff in loveloace and on the states UI it auto adds/removes

[feral owl]

Dont thinks its possible to go back once over.

Thats odd behavoir

[fair hamlet]

@feral owl are you talking about your question, or answering mine?

[feral owl]

I was answering yours 😃 but it would be cool if i can get an answer this white background is killing my eyes

[errant birch]

have no experience with themes (yet) so can't really help, srry

[feral owl]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-gif-3501296

[errant birch]

@wheat current suggested to "Give control back to HA and it will be automagic" .. so there should be a way to go back no ?

[feral owl]

Theme is only applying to cards see below

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lqzsaur3tvjfarn/HATHEMES.PNG?dl=0

[mortal cape]

@errant birch delete the lovelace file in .storage?

@feral owl the theme you set from your user page?

[feral owl]

Think so, I cant figure out how to set the actual theme

[mortal cape]

You have 3 places to set themes. User Account page, each view can have a theme, and most cards.

[feral owl]

OMS

you solved it

ACcount setting give that man a bells!

[mortal cape]

@feral owl That is the "old" theme which applies to more than views and cards

[feral owl]

Thanks bro... Live saver!

Life!

[fair hamlet]

@mortal cape can you reverse from lovelace from yaml mode to internal editing mode?

[mortal cape]

yes

unless you have includes or secrets in your config

then you should not

[fair hamlet]

@mortal cape I have both, but non of them are related to lovelace, does that matter?

[mortal cape]

sorry...I mean in your lovelace config specifically

not the usual includes and secrets

those are fine

You would remove yaml mode from your configuration.yaml. I'm not positive but I think you would end up with a "dead" ui-lovelace.yaml at that point. It won't be removed, but it will no longer be used. You might copy it off just in case.

Then in UI editing mode, you could paste the contents into the raw config editor.

You would get your setup back, and be in UI editing mode

[fair hamlet]

Right now I do not have yaml mode in my configuration and I did move the ui-lovelace.yaml out of the configuration directory. But it still thinks I am in yaml mode. In fact the system health says I am in yaml mode.

here is my configurations in case I am doing something stupid https://hastebin.com/aborukanof.shell

[wheat current]

removing it is not engough, you need to remove mode: yaml from HA config and restart

[fair hamlet]

@wheat current I did. Or at least I thought I did. Check this out. So all my changes have been over the samba share. If you look at the hastbin I posted it is not in the configuration. So to get a directory listing, since it is not easy to post a screen shot, I opened terminal from hass.io and took a directory. Low and behold the ui-lovelace was still there. So then I nano the configuration.yaml in the config directory and the mode yaml was still there. I can not explain why samba is giving me different results. Let me do some reboots and I will report back.

[mortal cape]

just a restart of HA, not a reboot

[fair hamlet]

Bottom line, I exited my "windows explorer", when back in and the ui-lovelace was in the config and the mode: yaml was still in the configurations.
I bet it had something to do with me deleting/merging the snapshots.
@mortal cape as I did not even have to restart HA, just the "tool" looking at the samba share.
Man, this was driving me crazy.

so now it's time to start over.

the deleting/merging sanpshots confused the samba share and the right hand (samba share) did not know what the left hand (linux file system) was doing 😃

[mortal cape]

I am confused as to where you are at now

A save to a file from within a samba share is instant. I don't understand what you mean by merging snapshots

[fair hamlet]

@mortal cape I hear you, all the changes I thought I was doing, I was doing through a samba share, for some reason that was not making it all the way through to the linux file system.
Yes, a save thorough samba should be instant. That is why I was putting so much faith in with what I was seeing.
To answer your question on snapshots. It was a detail I mention in passing and at the time I did not see how it could have anything to do with my problem. My HA is running in a VM, running on a windows 10 box. Every time I update linux or HA, I create a snapshot and let it run for a few days. Then at some time I delete the snapshot and that merges all the changes into the vm's file system. I had explorer open and was on the samba drive when I started do it. What even more amazing is after I did that, I created another snapshot, then updated linux, then because of the update, the VM rebooted and the explorer still did not "refresh".
I think this is a prefect storm that got me really confused. I don't think it will happen to many people. Now I expect that when I remove the mode: yaml, it will work. I will let you know in a minute.

[mortal cape]

ah. ok I see now.

[fair hamlet]

Man it was driving me crazy. I was about to start swearing that I am not smoking anything 😃

[fair hamlet]

The world is as it should be. I removed the mode yaml and it went to mode storage. Then I removed the ui-lovelace.yaml and it looks like the yaml's last configurations.

Now I think I see, so the mode is either yaml or storage. Now I see the loveace file in the .storage directory. I assume if it is in storage mode and the lovelace file does not exist, then it builds the lovelace file based on the yaml if it exists.

[polar kelp]

If you're not in yaml mode (you can check in if you have the system_health component enabled) it generates a number of views based on your legacy groups and all your entities if .storage/lovelace does not exist.
ui-lovelace.yaml is only used in yaml mode.

[cinder rapids]

can templates be used with the entity filter card? for example filter everything that's is not unavailable since the google timer sensors are unavailable until a timer is actually set up.

[fair hamlet]

just started messing around with storage mode.
Looking at https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/
I guess you have to go into toggle mode to get at the more advance features?
For example I was trying to do an entities. I was doing a device tracker. It shows the picture and if home/away. But I wanted to show the address also, so I thought that would be secondary info. Guess not. Do I need to go back to a custom card to get that functionally or do I need to dig a little deeper?

[ashen glacier]

Hi, i want to use a glace card for my light scenes and I cannot find how to trigger the scene as tap_action?

does someone have a tipp for me?

[wheat current]

@fair hamlet "manual" mode has to be used for advanced config, and yes that would be a custom-card.

[fair hamlet]

Ok, just getting the feel for the storage vs yaml mode. Now just to be clear, you can do "manual" in storage mode, correct?

[wheat current]

yes

[ashen glacier]

Im a little frustrated by now....
I can't find any real documentation to activate scenes.

[wheat current]

I would assume this should work @ashen glacier

    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: scene.turn_on
      service_data:
        entity_id: scene.romantic

Running scene services ar at the bottom here https://www.home-assistant.io/components/scene/

[ashen glacier]

I want to die a little bit......
Am I really that blind?

It does not work sadly...
https://hastebin.com/wiheyeyeke.css

[polar kelp]

Compare your codes carefully. Especially around the action: parts

[ashen glacier]

..... thanks.....

[polar kelp]

An odd discrepancy, that, which we’re likely stuck with for ever.

[split granite]

Meh, breaking changes are normal 😉

[inner osprey]

hi, is it pobbile to use a verticak stack with an horizontal stack?

[raven nacelle]

yes

[inner osprey]

@raven nacelle is it possible to do in the "add manual card" ui mode?

do you have an example?

[raven nacelle]

It should be. I don't use the UI, so not 100% sure

[wheat current]

It is, I tried it.. do yourself a favor and don't 😜

[raven nacelle]

but try it out....that is how you learn

or listen to @wheat current

😃

[inner osprey]

nice

[raven nacelle]

Here's an example of horizontal stack in vertical stack https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/ui-lovelace.yaml#L724

[wheat current]

And that would "translate" to this https://i.ibb.co/g6WWRJH/image.png in "add manual card"

[raven nacelle]

I am sure you can add custom cards there

[wheat current]

That you can 😉

[raven nacelle]

Ok....here's one that does not use custom cards https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/ui-lovelace.yaml#L852

[wheat current]

The boxes changed to yellow (missing entity) 😛

[raven nacelle]

difficult to make you happy 😉

[wheat current]

https://i.ibb.co/yQPN19f/image.png
https://hastebin.com/isivahagez.json

[raven nacelle]

that definitely looks ugly 😜

[wheat current]

yuuuuup 🤣

[raven nacelle]

Here's how the second one appears...

just for presence....color indicates home

[wheat current]

Neat!

[raven nacelle]

yeah, I love that card

although I am guessing it will go away once the person component matures

[wheat current]

Yeah, there are high hopes for that one 😁

[junior onyx]

What's the simplest way to share my lovelace config ? its not in the config folder anymore (im on hass.io) so doesnt sync with the rest of my stuff on git push

[wheat current]

I prefer json to yaml so I would say just share the json file 😅

[junior onyx]

im not good enough with git to really know how/if i can get it in the same repo?..

[wheat current]

If that is true, and the repo is public don't try, it's in the same location as your auth files

[cinder rapids]

can {{ trigger.to_state.state != 'unavailable' }} be used as a state_filter in the entity filter card?

[raven nacelle]

no templates in LL

[cinder rapids]

ok thanks 😦

[wheat current]

And trigger is only available in a running automation

[cinder rapids]

umm yeah, i over looked that.

what about something along this? state_filter: != 'unavailable'

[high seal]

I am running HASS.IO 0.88.2 in a VM on Windows 10, I cant seem to add Lovelace cards, after clicking Configure UI the orange circle with a + does not appear...? I have tried the Lovelace demo the + option appears and works perfectly on that so its not my browser.

Interestingly I do get the orange circle with a + if I goto Configuration -

• Area Registry
• Automation
• Script
• Customization

Any ideas...?

[buoyant portal]

@cinder rapids thomasloven has a card that can show you unavailable entities. There is also the old monster-card that can do this too

Sorry I forget the name of the card 😆

[raven nacelle]

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

[cinder rapids]

Thx, l I’ll look further into it. The state for the sensors google home timers are always unavailable until a timer is set and I’m looking for a way to get them to show up on the front end.

[raven nacelle]

@cinder rapids Here's how you can do something like that https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/ui-lovelace.yaml#L713

that is for media_player, but you can use the same idea

[cinder rapids]

Thanks @raven nacelle

[sudden lion]

@raven nacelle Do you have a screenshot of your media view with the sonos buttons etc?

[devout onyx]

Is it possible to use an and statement in useful-markdown?

Like if this is true AND this is true, then this?

[vapid field]

Quick question. I run with !include merge dir/name in my lovelace.yaml. I need to restart hassio everytime I make a change to one of the views.yaml files to see the changes, simply reloading the webpage doesn't work. Is this how it should be or is there an issue on my side?

[polar kelp]

@devout onyx No, but you can nest ifs to get the same result

if(this == true, if(and that == true, "good", "bad"), "bad")

@nocturne osprey Just open ui-lovelace.yaml and save it again without any changes.

It looks on the modification date of that file and compares to what's in cache before deciding whether to reload.

[wheat current]

Another win for UI edior 😄

[vapid field]

@polar kelp aha. Thanks!! This will save me so much time :)

I need to script that

[cloud oriole]

ok - so I'm confused as hell.....

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/thermostat/ <-- shows AUTO / HEAT / COOL / FAN controls at the bottom

but whenever I set up a thermostat in HA, I get either heat or cool depending on if I have ac_mode as true / false

also considering there's SFA in the way of documentation for that, I'm not sure if its a different config problem.

[versed forge]

Hi guys I hope there are few KNX Pro´s online 😃 I have several blinds which I can control perfectly via hass.io. The only thing is that only one Blind is sending the status into Lovelace. The addresses are correct. Any Ideas?

[restive lance]

There's a blue badge on the homepage with the label not found. How can I find which entity that state badge refers to ??

[polar kelp]

I assume you are in storage mode?

[restive lance]

me, @polar kelp ?

[polar kelp]

yes

[restive lance]

is storage mode an alias for lovelace ?

[polar kelp]

Storage means you have at some point used the gui editor to take control of the lovelace interface.

[restive lance]

yes

[polar kelp]

Then you can see your badge settings by opening the gui editor and clicking the pencil next the the name of the current view.

[restive lance]

i went into configureUI , then raw editor, and i see the badges there. Turns out the ghost badge is binary_sensor.doorbell

thank you @polar kelp

[polar kelp]

That works too

[severe stirrup]

            name: Cảm biến cửa chính
            icon_template: >
             {% if binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0002b7b0c0.state == 'on' %}

             {% else %}
               mdi:lightbulb
             {% endif %}```

I want to change the icon of my sensor state but the icon does not show. Is my code has a problem?

please help me

[polar kelp]

Where in the documentation did you find that?

[raven nacelle]

@severe stirrup The template is wrong....please test it in first

[polar kelp]

Templates doesn't work in lovelace anyway...

[raven nacelle]

that is not in LL @polar kelp . Some sensors allow icon_template

Although, that only applies to template sensors.

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.template/#icon_template

[polar kelp]

Look again

[wheat current]

• entity: something is lovelace?

[raven nacelle]

yeah....that looks wrong on many levels

not surprised it is not working 😜

[wheat current]

Mixing configurations like a mad man😜

[wicked bobcat]

Working on a new card using chart.js and would also like to use the annotations plugin for this. I'm not clear how I would define the adding the plugin - is there any other cards that I can look to for reference?

[severe stirrup]

@raven nacelle so I fix like this. is this correct? ```- entity: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0002b7b0c0
name: Cửa Chính

        icon_template: >
         {{ is_state('binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0002b7b0c0.state', 'on') }}            
           mdi:lightbulb-on
         {% else %}
           mdi:lightbulb
         {% endif %}```

[raven nacelle]

again....LL does not use templates.

you can use icon template in template binary sensors

[severe stirrup]

sory but I dont understand LL means

[raven nacelle]

Lovelace (frontend)

[severe stirrup]

oh

[raven nacelle]

so, you should create a template binary sensor with icon_template

and then use it in the front end

[severe stirrup]

oh. let me try

thanks

I try to use the icon from MDI https://cdn.materialdesignicons.com/3.4.93/ I used mdi-motion-sensor with my entity: - entity: binary_sensor.motion_sensor_158d0002248147 name: Cầu Thang Tg3 icon: mdi:motion-sensor but it does not show the icon. I can use another mdi icon like mdi:alert-decagram. Dont know y. can any one know that?

[raven nacelle]

Not all icons are immediately available in HA

MDI has to be updated

[thorn tide]

The home-automation icons they added in the last releases are really interesting. Is it a good time to update mdi with the current beta and everything?

[covert wharf]

is there a way to define the size of a picture entity card? i see you can change the aspect ratio, but can you set a specific size of it?

[raven nacelle]

The width cannot be controlled....it expands to cover one column

beyond the map card not showing the entity picture, there is another issue. If you go to another tab and come back to it, it sometimes shows blank

ok, thanks.

[ornate pollen]

hi, anybody using the light cards in a horizontal stack and could fix it to work on mobile ?

[sacred quarry]

not sure what you mean, I use it on an horizontal stack and I cannot see any issue, but maybe you are facing something I am not (or I haven't noticed), you might want to open a issue on Github (https://github.com/ljmerza/light-entity-card) or on the community forum (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/light-entity-card/96146/35)

[vapid field]

is there a way to control "height" of buttons in the custom-cards/button-card? for some reason my senor readings are jumping between 1 and 2 lines, doesn't matter if i shrink the "font size"

[white marten]

Im not sure if this is a bug, but in lovelace if I do Add card -> Entity button -> (tap action: call-service), then it ask to switch to toggle editor: When I add the service data it saves, and the service works ( so it save the config), but if I open the card editor again, even with toggle editor the service call info is gone

[trail pike]

Has anyone ever run into an issue where Lovelace will only refresh entity states upon a full browser refresh? My lovelace stopped being "live" a few weeks ago. This is occurring on multiple devices (laptop Chrome, mobile, etc.).

It only occurs when switching to a different HA "tab" (map, logbook, etc.) and then back to overview.

[forest star]

Which card can I use to show only when some elements are home for example ?

[polar kelp]

entity-filter

[forest star]

thanks @polar kelp

[next aurora]

Hey guys, anyone used the button-card w/ a cover ? Currently I have two buttons ( up and down ) and i'm trying to have a single button that will dynamically change to call cover.close_cover or cover.open_cover based on its state... Is this possible ?

Hi, I got some sensors for stats of my plex server in a simple entity card. Can i somehow change the number of hours to show for the different sensors?

      - title: Plex Status
        type: entities
        entities:
          - sensor.plextemperature
          - sensor.plexcpuload
          - sensor.plexcpufreq
          - sensor.plexfan1
          - sensor.plexfan2
          - sensor.plexdiskspace
        show_header_toggle: false

I konw i can ue "hours_to_show" but i want different hours for different sensors in the same card. Is that possible?

[olive forge]

Hi! I have 6 Mi Flora plant sensors. I use the plant cards to display them in my UI, but I want to group them by room. What is a good way to do that?

[torpid jasper]

Hey, is there an easy way to have the "More Info" popup as a card itself? So a card that automatically shows the full state info + services?

[white trellis]

I'm missing the name for a custom card that allows you to open/close a card containing multiple rows? I saw it once in a lovelace video where the card had an arrow in the top allowing the card to be exploided when pressed? Is there someone who knows the name for it?

^^Oh of course it was a ThomasLoven card named: fold-entity-row...

[wispy vessel]

is it me or is lovelace add-on confusing ?

[polar kelp]

Not at all imho...

[wispy vessel]

i can seem to get anything working correctly.

[polar kelp]

It’s all clear as mud after you’ve lived and breathed the lovelace source code for a couple of weeks

[wispy vessel]

lol!

[mortal cape]

lovelace addon? don't use that

[wispy vessel]

i have ultra wide screen and i want to be able to use the whole screen

so much unused space on my screen

[tranquil cargo]

How can I resize a picture-element inside a panel? I have a floor plan image but it is huge even if you resize the actual png image.

[fair hamlet]

any good custom cover cards?

[tired thicket]

hey all can someone help me ? seems like some of my card are not working , how do i fix that 😃 ?
example : https://gyazo.com/02c90b9fc051c09ec0db2fc7ee0e2e23

it says card config incorrect

[hexed owl]

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/horizontal-stack/

[tired thicket]

@hexed owl i know but that is yaml , the problem is almost all of the cards use a ui mode without yaml (hass.io) and these cards do not have that , is this a problem in my configuration or is this normal?

[hexed owl]

you type it in as yaml, it converts it to json, and that's what's shown in the red box. that card has two required fields, you only gave one.

[radiant wraith]

Hi Everyone, quick question from a newbie! In order to use a Custom Card, do I need to enable YAML mode for the UI? I have created the ui-lovelace.yaml file and added the resources to it, but im still getting a "Custom element doesn't exist: mini-media-player." error

[wheat current]

You do not need to enable yaml mode, and you certainly do not need to create a ui-lovalace.yaml file, everything can be added to the raw editor

[radiant wraith]

OK thanks @wheat current do I just add the "resource: and url:" code into the raw editor?

[tired thicket]

@hexed owl i mean this most of the ui is clickeble and selecteble ,: https://gyazo.com/1f697baa138acdeaf3ed0619427adc6a but the some of them only allows yaml or not?

[hexed owl]

Those fields only allow text. TOGGLE EDITOR will let you do it in yaml.

[wheat current]

@radiant wraith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYZjVCfrWD8&t=317s Super bad quality, but should give you an idea

[radiant wraith]

@wheat current thanks for the video.... still having trouble..... im trying to figure out how to paste a snapshot here haha

OK, is I was trying to take the screenshots I figured it out!! The "preview" in Manual card, does not seem to show anything, but once you hit save, the card appears. Thanks @wheat current , really appreciate the help 😃

[wispy vessel]

is there away to make cards bigger?

[wheat current]

Hold ctrl then hit + (untill you get it in correct size)

[wispy vessel]

I dont want to zoom in.

https://imgur.com/a/TXjOWYQ so much wasted space

[wheat current]

you are doing it wrong

[wispy vessel]

how so

[wheat current]

https://i.ibb.co/JpBjv0S/image.png

[wispy vessel]

dont follow

[wheat current]

if you have so much space "split" your screen and do more stuff

[wispy vessel]

yeah well i have a wall mounted ultrawide that i would like to display some stuff not just my desktop

so no way to adjust column width?

[torpid jasper]

Is there a documentation on the various <ha-xxxx> tags? Cant find it in the dev docs
Or how to get a button working on a custom card.
Using <paper-icon-button icon="mdi:play" on-click="clean"></paper-icon-button> makes it clickable but does not run the command somehow.

And: Is there a way to position an icon-element on the picture elements card via template? Draw the Roomba Icon where the Roomba actually is on the floorplan?

[quick rampart]

you guys know where I can get a 4K digital picture frame?

it's got to be paper thin

budget $50

and it needs to be at least 2ft by 3ft

[vapid field]

hello ppl!

[errant plover]

@quick rampart For $50? No chance.

You're looking at $250 for the cheapest 43" TV.

[split granite]

4K... paper thin... $50... 🤣

[vapid field]

if i just only one sensor for battery in the "Entities"-card. is there a way to remove the text and just have the icon and % ?

[tranquil cargo]

How can I resize a picture-element inside a panel? I have a floor plan image but it is huge even if you resize the actual png image.

[polar kelp]

Re: that 4k screen, that simpsons quote from one of the flash-forwards comes to mind... "Everything's so much easier now, since scientists invented magic".

@vapid field Sounds like you actually want a glance-card.

@tranquil cargo Add margins to the image

In panel mode, it fills the window.

@vapid field If glance isn't your thing, you can do name: ' ' on that entity.

[vapid field]

@polar kelp haha yeah thats one even better! thanks! now i just need to figure out how to get the icon bigger 😃 thanks!

[tranquil cargo]

@polar kelp Do you mean adding margins to the picture itself or with style?

Style does not seem to affect anything

[polar kelp]

To the picture itself

It's not optimal, but It's the best you can do without custom cards

If you don't mind custom cards, this can help: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card

[torpid jasper]

How can I open a more-info-popup when clicking on a <ha-icon> with an attached click listener? dispatching the Event from the card itself does not work. And the card itself has no shadowRoot.

[polar kelp]

Make sure the event bubbles

Otherwise you can dispatch it from the first child of (ha-app-layout #view)

[torpid jasper]

Ill try that, ty!

[polar kelp]

Or use card-tools

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-tools

[torpid jasper]

I might actually do that. I suck with frontends 😄 Anything easing my work is welcomed.

[polar kelp]

Tip of the day: Add lovelace-background: 'center / cover no-repeat url("/local/background_light.jpg") fixed' to your theme and background: var(--lovelace-background) to ui-lovelace.yaml or in the raw editor. Et voilà - theme controlled background.

[midnight shadow]

hi, any ideas why lovelace isn't populating the "Unused Entities" function from the frontend? the only clue i have is "obj.entities.forEach is not a function" in the browser console

lovelace is in yaml mode if that matters

[sudden lion]

You probably have a custom-card that confuses the function

[midnight shadow]

thanks, just found out by process of elimination that it is indeed flex-table-card in my case

[sudden lion]

Same here

[midnight shadow]

and, as always, as soon as i find the problem i find google hits on that exact problem

[sudden lion]

I've reported the bug in his repo a while ago

[midnight shadow]

https://github.com/custom-cards/flex-table-card/issues/5 😉

[sudden lion]

https://github.com/custom-cards/flex-table-card/issues/5

lol 😛

[fair hamlet]

I have bar lights, that are domain switch. I can set up an entity, but it has a lighting bolt. How can I switch that to a light bulb that show a state? I see a icon: but that is just a picture, correct?

[sudden lion]

Check this @fair hamlet: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.switch/

[fair hamlet]

@sudden lion Worked like a champ, thanks. First I tried the light card, then just went back to entities.

[rocky merlin]

ohhh I almost ripped my hair off lol I just could not get the translation of states (localization) to work in my custom component. It seems like it works nicely in the old GUI using a group. The state is localized but not using it in lovelace entities card. Anyone else experienced this?

wish I tried it two hours ago 😃

tried the sensor card as well, same the translations are not showing

[copper mural]

If I want a panel_iframe to open a specific lovelace-file/tab, isn't that possible? I tried url: /lovelace/3 but it opened the whole hass-page again inside the iframe.

[polar kelp]

That’s what the tab is. It’s all of it.

[copper mural]

I asked it in swedish on the other discord-server, maybe you know better what I ment there 😛

[polar kelp]

I understand what you mean, and it's not possible (well... it is, but it's not easy).

If you use an iframe, you get a new session of the page, and that will include everything - side menu, top navbar and notifications panel.

If you really want to do it, you'd have to create a custom panel which gets the relevant parts of the lovelace view you want and manages the states and communications to the backend that are normally done by the frontend wrapping it.

[copper mural]

ouugh!

Thanks for clearance 😃

[silk shoal]

Hi, I'm currently using the following weather card:

[copper mural]

Comment those lines out in the js-file should work.

hi, just upgraded to 88 from 73 adn lovelace is default UI, but I cannot find ui-lovelace.yaml and if I edit it via the UI at SAVe gives me error https://cl.ly/8652b1fdd42b

I red the docs, creating a new lovelace yaml, but I wnat the curent lovelace 😃

that somehow copied the default UI

with all my cards and such

[fair hamlet]

@blissful anchor Just went through the same thing. There is a yaml mode setting that switches between storage and yaml. If you are in storage mode, there is a raw click that will give access to the storage configurations.

[blissful anchor]

I put this in my configuration.yaml https://cl.ly/c6e0e85592b9

but still no lovelace yaml in my config folder

[fair hamlet]

@blissful anchor and restarted?

[blissful anchor]

like 3 times

you mean the whole system (raspberry) or just the hassio?

[fair hamlet]

you have to manual create the ui ymal

that is why you may need to switch back to storage and go to raw to get what is there.

[brisk moss]

Crime encountered problems with cloud connection when trying to log into hassion

I need some help

[blissful anchor]

and after I get the ray I put it in a new lovelace.yaml ?

manualy created?

raw*

[fair hamlet]

yes, that would be my guess

I had mine backed up to start with. I have now switch to storage, it does not seem any different than yaml

[blissful anchor]

how do you back it up? I use dropbox addon and it backs up automaticly what is in the backup folder

seems now the lovelace is out of reach for any backup procedure if left raw (wherever it is now)

[fair hamlet]

storeage is lovelace file in the .storage directory

the backup was my yaml file

[blissful anchor]

i use hassio, how do you get there to the storag folder? https://cl.ly/a1d5302405d5

[fair hamlet]

samba

[blissful anchor]

i mean for the future

that is what samba serves me as an addon

[fair hamlet]

just gets access, nothing automated

[blissful anchor]

are you using hassio?

[fair hamlet]

yes

[blissful anchor]

or homeassistant on top of linux

ok

there was an addon-on "lovelace-migrator" any idea why is gone?

[fair hamlet]

actually both, I have a windows OS, with a VirtualBox vm, running ubuntu, then when i installed HA, and Hass it loaded the docker versions. :-)
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TSsBrhTZ7M/

[split granite]

You don't need the migration tool, it's now built in to HA @blissful anchor

@brisk moss If you're having issues with cloud, see #cloud-archived

@blissful anchor If you're looking for the Lovelace config, it (and many other things) now can be found in .storage/

You really want to be backing that up

[blissful anchor]

I have an automated backup system and that .storage is inaccessible by ordinary means

how do one get access to it?

why is it there and not with all other config files ?

is it included in the snapshot procedure?

[polar kelp]

It’s in .storage because it’s not to be messed with.

That said - sometimes you must - but that’s why.

[blissful anchor]

since I it is a file meant to be messed with, because everyone is doing his own UI why is it lableled as "not to be messed with" ?:)

I mean I edit the hell out of that file...

anyway... meybe is something I don't get.. menwhile I got this https://cl.ly/617469c5d82c

but I have this in .storage https://cl.ly/35873694f0a3

which does not look like a lovelace yaml

[sudden lion]

Thats because its a json format file, not yaml

[vapid field]

Hi, I'm new here 😀, I'm trying to install mini graph card https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card on my home assitant config, it's my first time installing a custom component, and my dilemma is where store all custom js, tried in my home, in .homeassistant folder, adding pieces of config in configuration.yaml, never got it working, js file is not found. I'm running on ubuntu server x64 with pip installation

any help please?

[sudden lion]

Its a custom card, not a custom component 😃 And it says in the instructions: "Download and copy mini-graph-card-bundle.js from the latest release into your config/www directory."

If you dont have a www folder create it, and then restart HA

[vapid field]

@sudden lion where I need to store that folder?

[sudden lion]

In the same folder you have your configuration.yaml file

[split granite]

How is .storage inaccessible?

It's hidden by virtue of the leading ., but hardly inaccessible

[vapid field]

@sudden lion done but not working

[blissful anchor]

well, hidden means "not accessible easy " 😃

[sudden lion]

@vapid field did you have to create your www folder or did it exist?

[vapid field]

@sudden lion I created it

[sudden lion]

Restart HA, then move on to step #2 under simple install here: https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card#install

Note that if you are not using yaml mode you do the same step in the raw editor

[split granite]

@blissful anchor If your backup software can't see a hidden folder, your backup software is junk

[blissful anchor]

anyway, is there a procedure to get my lovelace on a yaml file in the config folder like in the old days?

[split granite]

Sure, use YAML mode 😉

[sudden lion]

yaml mode @blissful anchor https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/

[blissful anchor]

so yaml mode will firs read the lovelace yaml ignoring thet hidden config?

[vapid field]

I'm using yaml mode, yes already restarted

[split granite]

Yup

[sudden lion]

It will not first read that then another thing. It will only read the ui-lovelace.yaml file

[blissful anchor]

I see

[vapid field]

if folder is hidden where I can store custom js?

[sudden lion]

What folder is hidden @vapid field?

[vapid field]

@sudden lion .homeassistant

[blissful anchor]

@split granite my software can backup that hidden folder too 😃

[sudden lion]

Show hidden files/folders?

[blissful anchor]

for mac users look for a free app "HideSwitch" 😉

to see hidden folders

and files

[vapid field]

@sudden lion config/www is in .homeassistant folder, which contains config.yaml etc... but it's not working. Is any conf needed inside config.yaml?

[sudden lion]

no

create your www folder in the same folder you have configuration.yaml

[vapid field]

done

[sudden lion]

Restart

Put your js file in the new www folder

[vapid field]

done

[sudden lion]

Do step #2 from the install page

[vapid field]

done

[sudden lion]

Test that your js file is accessible trough https://hass/local/nameoffile.js

[vapid field]

is not accessible, from browser console i get 404

[sudden lion]

Then you did something wrong 😃

[blissful anchor]

I cannot get back my lovelace (autogenerated) , reloading does nothing, also restarting https://cl.ly/617469c5d82c , I took out the yaml mode from configuration.yaml, there is no lovelace.yaml in my config folder.

I have that hidden file tho

in .storage

[split granite]

If you weren't using YAML mode, you'll have .storage/lovelace

[sudden lion]

Fix the json in the file under .storage or just delete it to have it regenerate

[blissful anchor]

I don't use yaml mode, I have the lovelace file, but there is no lovelace UI, I am using the default one

oh, ok

I will delete it and restart I presume

[sudden lion]

and dont edit the file manually

if you want to do it manually use yaml mode, else use the UI editor

[blissful anchor]

it is json, I don't like it to edit manually 😃

I like yaml

[split granite]

JSON and YAML are really twins 😉

[blissful anchor]

btw... the Configurator add-on is gold

json is the ugly twin then :))

[split granite]

Technically YAML is a superset of JSON https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2759572

Personally I prefer JSON 🤷

[blissful anchor]

sry

no offence, I am used to yaml.. that's all 😃

I must make a ascript to also delete that json lovelace, in case I need to reset the UI 😃

I have one for clrearing the log

and reseting homekit

[vapid field]

Double checking steps:

• folder config/www inside folder that contains configuration.yaml exists
• needed js is inside config/www
• ui-lovelace.yaml has needed lines from step 2 ui-lovelace.yaml
• restarted home assistant from configuration/server management -> restart

https://my.server.com/local/mini-graph-card-bundle.js?v=0.3.0
Returns 404

What’s wrong?

[split granite]

Wall of text from hell 😮

Please don't post walls of text, that's really nasty if you're on mobile

ui-lovelace.yaml lives in the same folder as configuration.yaml

[vapid field]

sorry

[split granite]

the mini-graph-card-bundle.js file goes in config/www/

If you had to create www/ then you need to restart Home Assistant

[vapid field]

@split granite I have done it and is still not working

I have a proxy forward https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/ecosystem/apache/, does involve any issue?

[split granite]

Maybe

Try direct

[vapid field]

@split granite same error http://192.168.1.254:8123/local/mini-graph-card-bundle.js?v=0.3.0 returns 404

[split granite]

To check, when you SSH on, what does ls -l /config/www/mini-graph-card-bundle.js show?

[vapid field]

config folder is not inside root, but in /home/myhome/.homeassistant/

[sudden lion]

Should be /home/myhome/.homeassistant/www then

.homeassistant is your config folder 😉

[split granite]

ls -l /home/myhome/.homeassistant/www/mini-graph-card-bundle.js

[vapid field]

f*****k

hahahha

[split granite]

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/ may be worth a read for you 😉

[vapid field]

@split granite @sudden lion it works, thanks a lot

[blissful anchor]

lovelace is back 😃

now... enabling yaml mode for lovelace... will it create a lovelace yaml in config folder or do I have to create it myself then the hassio just populates the file?

[sudden lion]

no no no

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/ Read this

Open the raw editor in the UI, copy the contents of that file. Paste it into ui-lovelace.yaml and then enable yaml mode.

[mortal cape]

@blissful anchor in yaml mode you populate the file

[blissful anchor]

so AFTER I have the lovelace yaml file ready I enable yaml mode

[sudden lion]

You can do it before or after. But once its enabled you cant reach the UI raw editor.

[blissful anchor]

I ask this because i wnat to create some custom cards (maps, video feeds etc) and I don;t think is possible via the UI editor (or am I wrong?)

[sudden lion]

You are wrong.

Custom cards are available in both modes

[blissful anchor]

oh, I've just say this "+" sign https://cl.ly/4bf9905f758a

nice, glad I updated my hassio 😃

so that list all the card possible in lovelace ,right?

[sudden lion]

No, you have the manual card option as well

Read the installation instructions of the card you want to use and go from there.

[blissful anchor]

ty

[sudden lion]

@knotty moss I have that card installed, how can we help?

[knotty moss]

I did everything in the readme

but it still says: Custom element doesn't exist: mini-media-player.

I'm still pretty new to this

[sudden lion]

How did you install the card? Have you tested if its available at https://yourhadomain.com/local/mini-media-player-bundle.js ?

[knotty moss]

I used the Simple install on https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player/blob/dev/README.md

And yes, its available!

[sudden lion]

Running yaml mode or ui mode?

[knotty moss]

UI i guess

[sudden lion]

Did you add

resources:
  - url: /local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.0.2
    type: module

In the ui-lovelace.yaml file or raw editor in the UI?

[knotty moss]

i added it into the ui-lovelace.yaml

and that file is located in: /config/ui-lovelace.yaml

[sudden lion]

If you are not running yaml mode you will have to click the 3 dots in the upper right corner of your UI and select Configure UI and then click again to get Raw editor and add it there

[knotty moss]

Why is that?

[wheat current]

You can check the mode you are using by visiting http://my-ha-domain.duckdns.org:8123/dev-info under "System Health" there is a "Lovelace" section

[sudden lion]

By default Lovelace runs with UI editor, if you prefer you could enable yaml-mode. However if you are new at this i would recommend the UI editor. Its really powerful and has nice previews.

[knotty moss]

Thanks for the help

It works, looks better now

[wheat current]

heck even if you are not new I would recomend the UI editors 😛

[sudden lion]

Agreed! Poor choice of words.

[split granite]

There are only two reasons to use YAML mode

1. You've always been using it and are too lazy to convert
2. See (1)

I'm totally in the first category 😛

[undone egret]

Hint age has a factor

ask me how i know.......i am there tooo

[wheat current]

To the old folks "scared" of the UI editors, they are better than the editors you are used to 😉

[split granite]

To be fair, pen and paper would be better than that editor 😉

[undone egret]

^^^^^^

[split granite]

Then again, my file editor of choice is vi... I'm not a good benchmark for usable

[undone egret]

usable ...you lost that long ago

but so did i

[split granite]

Hey, I liked WordPerfect too

[undone egret]

it was good wasnt it

then these kids came along

[knotty moss]

If i run a script, should i turn it off when it finishes?

[split granite]

It will, yes, if it has a delay or wait_template

[vapid field]

Is their anyway to change lovelace tabs with Alexa?

[subtle rune]

@vapid field https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-browser-commander

[vapid field]

@subtle rune thanks!

[blissful anchor]

just to drop some impressions... I like the new lovelace editor A LOT, so simple and so flexible. I am glad I upgraded my hassio from 0.84 and from classic UI

I have zero experience with lovelace, never used it , but this edit mode made the transition easy

[dim jolt]

anyone know if its possible to use picture-elements with the monster card?

essentially have assembled a nice square icon with iphone battery - and want it to show up if present (or not if away)

[silk shoal]

Is it possible to customize the width of a horizontal-stack card so that the first card takes up 2/3 of the horizontal stack and the second card 1/3 of the horizontal stack?

[next aurora]

Is there any way to get entity cards to be a consistent size ?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y9pylf9j8l18phh/Screenshot 2019-03-04 08.45.05.png?dl=0

[simple jolt]

Has anyone gotten the animation to work with card-modder? I get an error every time I try to set it up. @polar kelp

[vapid field]

@silk shoal dosent looks like it, ive been google this about and cant find a solution on this got the same problem :/ https://imgur.com/UhDDlKp this is what i have and want to do.. i think its very limited vad u can and can not do with the look in the UI. would be nice if you could set a card to act like 3.. like column: 3 or something.

[polar kelp]

I’ve gotten it to work, yes.

As a general tip, once you try animations, you should be way past the point where you could get errors...

Because nothing you need to change between changing the text color of a card and animating it should be able to cause an error.

[silk shoal]

@vapid field Yeah we have the exact same problem it looks like haha

[simple jolt]

@polar kelp I set up the template example and copied the code to get the red blinking animation. But I’m getting the below warning. https://ibb.co/hmH6hVM

[polar kelp]

Which of my examples has a newline after animation:?

[simple jolt]

@polar kelp the editor must have appended it. Here is the copied code. https://ibb.co/LS1yBk7
https://ibb.co/S0jnfJj

Same error.

[polar kelp]

Try adding quotes around everything to the right of the colon

@glad sparrow Get a version of card tools that's compatible with Home Assistant 0.86 or later. Preferably the latest one.

[simple jolt]

@polar kelp adding quotes fixed the issue.

Thanks

[glad sparrow]

@polar kelp I thought I already did, but I will replace them once more. I will keep you up to date

[wheat current]

Clear you cahce @glad sparrow Your card files are up to date

[keen ridge]

Anyone got a clue on what to change in my config?
https://pastebin.com/CNrNCsXK
Getting quite frustrated on this..

[wheat current]

You know lovelace config are seperate from homeassistant?

[keen ridge]

yeah, but when I remove this yaml file HA starts.. So something is wrong with the design in the lovelace yaml file.

[wheat current]

You are loading it as part of the home assistant config

[keen ridge]

here is the yaml file in full
https://pastebin.com/5w7LHWjV

[wheat current]

does not matter

[keen ridge]

yeah and the other files work.

I have 4 yaml files but only this crashes HA

[wheat current]

it is localized under your "packages" dir, and HA will therefor load it

[strong falcon]

is there are way to show a media player as unavailable instead of getting the red error box when it is offline?

[vapid field]

@subtle rune Do you know why I´m only getting this in my lovelace card "messages
[object Object], [object Object]" the card is KrisInfo

[subtle rune]

@vapid field What card are you using? There's a specific card for the component that writes put the objects in a way that you can read them. It's available in a repo on my github.

I'm sorry, I read to fast, you are using the krisinfo card?

[vapid field]

yes
smiley: - type: js
url: /local/krisinfo-card.js

@subtle rune hmm might be a problem with the component, i can se this under states

i messages: [object Object],[object Object]
friendly_name: Krisinformation Göteborg
icon: mdi:alert

[wheat current]

That is expected there

[subtle rune]

No that's correct. If you press the name of the sensor in dev tools you should get them written out at the top. The card is taking that into account and writing the information accordingly.

Can you share the part of your Lovelace config with the card?

Also - are you getting any errors in the console of your browser (open with F12 and click console)?

[vapid field]

@subtle rune Custom element doesn't exist: krisinfo-card.
{
"type": "custom:krisinfo-card",
"entity": "sensor.krisinformation"
}

[subtle rune]

Have you followed the instructions for downloading the card? Do you have other custom cards working?

[vapid field]

@subtle rune hmm i might have missed something, let me check if i have done everything correct

[subtle rune]

Have you cleared cache in the browser too? That can cause some problems with cards

[vapid field]

Good point!

@subtle rune I have no luck 😦

@subtle rune Don´t know what i´m missing

[subtle rune]

The resource is pointing to the right place?

No misspelling in either resource or card file name?

[vapid field]

I have put the js file
/config/customcards/compact-custom-header.js

sorry

I mean
/config/customcards/krisinfo-card.js

copied the wrong file path

[subtle rune]

You need to have it the www folder

[vapid field]

and in Lovelace
resources:

• type: js
  url: /customcards/krisinfo-card.js

Aha ok

@subtle rune Awesome!!!

[visual meteor]

hello everyone, how to add a custom font i downloaded from google? 😄

[vapid field]

@ it worked 😄

[visual meteor]

to all the elements in the frontui

[subtle rune]

Great 😃 all cards need to be in the www folder.

[vapid field]

@subtle rune that´s maybe why I´m not able to get any other customcard to work

@subtle rune but i have seen that if I want the custom updater to work i need to put them in "customcards" folder

or should the "customcards" folder be in "www" folder?

[subtle rune]

No its only the resource that needs to point to customcards, the actual file is supposed to be in www

If you are confused, read the custom updater info again, it took me a couple of tries to get it right too 😃

[vapid field]

@subtle rune ok I´ll give another go! Thank you for all the help 😄

[subtle rune]

Np!

[visual meteor]

hello everyone, how to add a custom font i downloaded from google? for example, i downloaded a special font with the .ttf extension, how to implement this in lovelace?

[strong falcon]

In the following card config, how do I hide the card(s) so they don't show if there is "no state available"
`cards:

• cards:
  • entity: media_player.emby_family_room
    type: media-control
  • entity: media_player.emby_basement
    type: media-control
    type: vertical-stack
    type: horizontal-stack`

[elder pendant]

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

[next aurora]

Is there any way to get entity cards to be a consistent size ?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y9pylf9j8l18phh/Screenshot 2019-03-04 08.45.05.png?dl=0

[strong falcon]

@elder pendant how does that apply to my code? When i enter type: conditional I get a duplicate error with the type: hirizontal-stack

[icy robin]

@polar kelp , is it possible to nest other custom entity rows (such as secondaryinfo-entity-row) under a fold-entity-row?

[whole cloud]

jag vill få ut en tiden då sensorn slog på senast. hur gör man ett sådant kort ?

[polar kelp]

@icy robin yes

@whole cloud This is the international server. https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#secondary_info

[whole cloud]

@polar kelp wrong discord.... 😃

[icy robin]

Could you please provide an example for nesting a customized row? Doesn't seem to be obvious from the docs / examples.

[polar kelp]

You just replace the entry in items: with the specification of the special row, exactly as if it was directly in the entities card itself.

[elder pendant]

@strong falcon you nest you card inside a conditional card

You have too many layers for me to format everything for you on the fly

[strong falcon]

@elder pendant ok, i will keep playing around with it

[elder pendant]

The spaces are wrong, but it will look something like this

type: conditional
conditions:
  - entity: whatever
     state: whatever
card:
  cards:
    - cards:
      - entity: media_player.emby_family_room
         type: media-control
      - entity: media_player.emby_basement
         type: media-control
      type: vertical-stack
    type: horizontal-stack

[icy robin]

So the configuration of "items" is identical to that of "entities"?

[strong falcon]

is it possible to show a media_player card as "unavailable" rather than hiding it when it gets the "no state available" error?

[mild veldt]

@strong falcon use a conditional

[strong falcon]

@mild veldt what would I use for state?

[polar kelp]

@icy robin yes. And head too

[strong falcon]

right now I am using "state_not: unavailable" and that completely hides the card. I would like the card to always show, but show as unavailable instead of showing that red box

[elder pendant]

Have another conditional card for when the state is unavailable. It can say whatever you want

[strong falcon]

Not sure how to do that to replace the red error card with a proper unavailable card

[gentle tide]

Anyone know whether it is safe to break up the ui-lovelace.yaml file into individual, per-view files? And by safe, I am referring to "won't be broken by the devs any time soon". My current ui-lovelace.yaml file is much larger than it should be.

[tepid locust]

only people who can be sure of that is the HA/Lovelace devs

they did remove it and then add it back in so I would assume its here to stay if you use YAML mode

[wary quest]

anyone have a working example of auto-entities showing battery levels on devices?

[mild veldt]

YAML mode is here to stay

[polar kelp]

@wary quest yaml filter: include: - attributes: device_class: "battery"

[violet jungle]

hi guys, can someone help me with the lovelace custom button-card? since I installed home assistant 0.88, the custom card stop worked. Thanks

[wind tusk]

Just did my monthly upgrade of HA (or maybe it was 2 months this time :D) That included the breaking change of the pop-up card and now I'm kinda stuck because I have my lovelace config in separate files using includes, and for some reason I can't find the correct config for including the configuration for a popup-card.

This is my "home.yaml" pointing at my specific config for that view
https://hastebin.com/totudiqeyu.makefile

And this is "home_presence_popup.yaml" I've tried several different combinations of indents and where to place the "- !include" in the home.yaml file..
https://hastebin.com/omivuqoveg.css

[gilded plume]

Hopefully my question fits here. I am using Weatherflow (my own weatherstation) and have it connected to HA by Node-Red. Now i get the wind direction in degrees (int) for example 39, 146, 355 and i want to use a template sensor to give it the wind direction....the sensor is giving blank at the moment and i guess i'm doing something wrong i can't see (sensor itself gives no error when checking)

https://hastebin.com/pacuvikipa.py

[wind tusk]

@gilded plume think you should post that in regular "homeassistant" channel since it's not a Lovelace question

[gilded plume]

I understand, it has to do with what i want to archieve in lovelace

[old karma]

@violet jungle , welcome to the club!

[sacred quarry]

Hi guys, quick one (hopefully), is there anything custom cards devs have to do to allow us to use the new format for custom gards? (github/user/js file)?

I was able to switch to those new path for almost all the custom-cards, but with some it is not working for some reason I am not aware of

[mild veldt]

@gilded plume #330944238910963714 is indeed the best spot for that question

@sacred quarry new format? There’s no new format for custom cards

[sacred quarry]

Sorry @mild veldt maybe I am confused, before I was downloading the card and setting the path to be local/cards/new-card.js (example), while now i use local/github/GITHUB-USER/new-card-js and "the system" donwload the file automatically on the local folder creating right paths to those files

[mild veldt]

“The system “ does no such thing

Are you talking about custom_updater?

[sacred quarry]

I presume that it is custom_updater that is taking care of that bit

and by "the system" I meant whatever is doing it since I am not ure it i HA itself or custom updater to be honest 😃

[silk shoal]

Is anyone else having problems with their calendars? I woke up this morning and my calendar card doesnt work anymore, it just shows the title and a loading circle and never loads the actual calendar.

I am using google calendar with the following calendar card:
https://github.com/atomic7777/atomic_calendar

[pine whale]

@silk shoal using the same one, and mine is still working fine

[silk shoal]

Any idea what could be causing the problem? I have been using it without problems for a while now but it just stopped working today

Not getting any errors either

[patent bobcat]

Howdy all is there as way to move or set the tabs to be in the menu side bar instead of a horizontal scroll on top? It really just doesn't work on mobile well.

[vapid field]

Hey friends! I just wanted to share a card I've done called Spotify Card which can be found here: https://github.com/fondberg/spotify-card. Hope this channel is ok for this. If not I apologise.
I have announced it on the forum a a project but wanted to share it with the developers of lovelace as well.

[mental copper]

I'm looking for a nice card, some kind of picture card for an harmony remote. With just basic functions. Does someone have a nice design do start with?

[severe stirrup]

this is my card: https://imgur.com/yzcQv3w and this is my code : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/V29VFFmMsj/ I want to make the icon smaller and make the UI better. Please help me.

[elder pendant]

Change the width to change the size of the image. "Better" is subjective, so you'll have to be more specific

[severe stirrup]

sorry for my bad English. I dont know how to explain. just want all the icon is not overlap each other

[mild veldt]

@patent bobcat no, suggest you look at compact-custom-header to give you more screen real estate on mobile

[elder pendant]

Changing top will move the images up and down

[severe stirrup]

may be the high of card is not enough for 2 row. Can I change the high of the card?

[mild veldt]

@vapid field nice! You should see about bringing it over the the custom-cards org https://github.com/custom-cards

[severe stirrup]

i changed the top value but the high of card is not enough for 2 rows.

@mild veldt Im using that. The main issues is still horizontal scrolling for tabs/views for 14 or 15 tabs

[mild veldt]

Create a main dashboard and hide all tabs then

[elder pendant]

@severe stirrup you need to change your background image then

[mild veldt]

@mental copper just use entity-buttons in stacks or picture-elements

[severe stirrup]

already make a new background image with higher dimension but the card on lovelcace still have same high

[elder pendant]

You need to clear your cache to update images like that

or go to <your-ip>/local/backgroundTV.png and hit F5 a few times until it updates

[severe stirrup]

oh. I will check it now

thanks

[patent bobcat]

not really what I want either. Individual room control and segmentation is what im trying to do. Having 50+ entities to control on a single dashboard page makes a large amount of vertical scrolling and it hard for find what your looking for. And the wife would be very annoyed 😃

[mild veldt]

You misunderstand.

1. Add paths for all your views
2. Use compact-custom-header to hide all tabs (expect for your dashboard probably)
3. Use entity-button, or custom button or any button, to make a grid of your 14/15 tabs that navigate to your hidden tabs respectively
   You then have a main screen that is navigation to all others

[patent bobcat]

Ahh ok thats cool thanks.

Is there any way to get entity cards to be a consistent size ?

[raven nacelle]

the height depends on the number of entities in the card

[next aurora]

I'd attach a screenshot but I cant seem to do it in this space for some reason

moderation ?

[raven nacelle]

the entity button card?

[next aurora]

yea, I want them to be the same size

how can I make the garage one bigger ?

[raven nacelle]

yeah, that card needs a lot of love. Right now the only thing you can do is make the text on all the three buttons to be of the same length

[next aurora]

meh, that makes me sad

&nsbsp; work ?

[raven nacelle]

it has made lot of people sad

not sure.....

[next aurora]

yea, its causing my OCD to take hold

[raven nacelle]

should be fixed....I know the devs are aware of it

[next aurora]

"must be same height !!!"

[raven nacelle]

especially since the button card is also broken

[next aurora]

have a link for a R I can review?

I mean issue

I'd love to follow it

[raven nacelle]

don't think there is anything yet

[mild veldt]

entity-button...eck

I need to find some motivation to tackle that one

[raven nacelle]

@mild veldt I can give you all the motivation

I can remind you 10 times in a day, if it helps

even minor improvements would go a long way...that card is entirely useless right now 😦

[mossy otter]

I'm trying to set up an entity_picture for my device tracker so it shows slightly different pictures depending on where that person is (e.g. relaxed me at home, me in suit at work, etc etc). I have no problem setting that up but when elsewhere, there is no image.
Is there a way to have "not_Home" etc for all other locations?

[mild veldt]

@raven nacelle that would probably just make me bitter and provide zero motiviation

[calm rock]

hi, all!, im testing the browser_commander , and i may have something wrong as i cant get the simple example to work , here is my script config https://pastebin.com/TBLyBT2n , the rest of config is as per docs : https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-browser-commander , any clue is welcomed ..tks

[polar kelp]

The first command you should ever run is debug, to make sure everything works.

I also recommend test-driving from /dev-event

And keep an eye on your browser console. (in the receiving tab)

F12 in chrome

[calm rock]

ok, will try debug first , tks

@polar kelp is this the correct way to fire the debug command on the event? ..
Fire an event on the event bus.
Event Type
browser_command
Event Data (JSON, optional)
{"command": "debug"}

[polar kelp]

looks good

[calm rock]

no message on console after firing the event .

dont see a receiving tab

[polar kelp]

By the receiving tab I mean the window or tab where you have lovelace open so you can receive the command

[elder pendant]

@vapid field https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-modder this should get you where you need to be

[calm rock]

@polar kelp , no message , no error .

[polar kelp]

What do you get if you type window.LovelaceBrowserCommander into the console?

[calm rock]

i see an error

404

undefined

[polar kelp]

Please don't tell me the problem is exactly the one mentioned in the "common problems" section of the installation guide.

[calm rock]

just undefined , the other error appear , when i try the external url

ok, will take a new look

[polar kelp]

Ok. If you get undefined, then browser commander isn't installed properly. Perhaps you didn't clear your cache, or didn't restart hass after first creating the www directory?

[calm rock]

i have been using www for other cards , so was there already , i restarted too , so something else may be missing

when fired the event , it appears as a status 200 , so it seams ok , but no message

[vapid field]

what card would be most suitable to show when garbage collection is scheduled? its 4 different values (food, glass/metal, paper, plastic)

It just shows a date, like 27/03

thanks

[wintry gull]

Hello

Im new to HA and I got a questions of understanding lovelace. Seems that before people need to make a ui-lovelace.yaml file and add it to their configeration.yaml file but now do we just have to write out code in the configure UI > raw config editor? Is this the same as a ui-lovelace.yaml file??

[pine whale]

@silk shoal try clearing the cache, I just had mine hang on me, and that cleared it.

[astral vortex]

I'm sure i'm missing it, but is it possible to template text in lovelace? I tried the following without success ```
- type: picture-entity
name: 'Front Porch - {{ states("sensor.front_porch_events") }} Events'
entity: camera.front_porch
camera_image: camera.front_porch

[tepid locust]

try

name: 'Front Porch - "{{ states.sensor.front_porch_events_.state }}" Events'

probably not possible though

[astral vortex]

Nope, that doesn't work either

[tepid locust]

if it is you would have to force refresh (ctrl+f5 on chrome) for it to update I believe

[astral vortex]

@tepid locust Thanks, tried a few more variations, and the force refresh, looks like it's not possible

[tepid locust]

you could display a custom attributes card that will show the value of that sensor

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

not as clean but you can get a display with it

or a template sensor on a default lovelace card that displays the number of events

[astral vortex]

That's a good thought, was thinking I could just add it to the name and have it overlay, not that easy

[tepid locust]

that would be awsome 😦

[mild veldt]

Templates are not available in Lovelace, but I’m hoping to change that with a custom card soon. Just need to find the time to finish it

[timid wigeon]

@mild veldt did you create Lovelace?

[mild veldt]

Nope

[timid wigeon]

Oh

[mild veldt]

Just a contributor

[past falcon]

hey is there anyway with a horizontal stack to not make it a 50/50 split? Like have it be more of a 70/30?

[astral vortex]

@tepid locust I was able to get the look I was after, had to switch to picture-elements

[tepid locust]

congrats!

[buoyant portal]

@mild veldt there is @polar kelp useful-markdown-card that allows templates. Works quite well!

[mild veldt]

I'm aware

[buoyant portal]

Sorry 😐 I knew you would be!! 😊

[raven nacelle]

@mild veldt which is why I'm not doing that 😜

[grim birch]

Rando question regarding lovelace, is there a way to just disable the top badges in any fashion? if not, is it a case of using customize.yml to hide them?

[polar kelp]

compact-custom-header

Found at your favourite source of lovelace plugins.

(as long as that's the forums, github or google)

(or https://sharethelove.io)

[grim birch]

oh nice!

thanks

hmm, not too sure that's actually the thing im after, the header is fine as is - i dont see any option of removing the circular badges

unless it does so by default

[polar kelp]

Oh those. Click the pencil next to the view name in edit mode.

[grim birch]

ahh oh my, how did i miss that!

been searching high and low 😄

[polar kelp]

It's not entirely intuitive, to be fair.

[grim birch]

i always thought the pencil was just indicative of "you are currently editing your view"

if you get me

just to make it noticable you're still in edit mode

[polar kelp]

I'll remember that feedback.

[grim birch]

Thanks for the help @polar kelp 😃 you've solved mine and a friends badge woes!

He had "not found" entities, couldn't figure how to remove them or what they were

[strong falcon]

Still trying to solve an issue from a few days ago...is it possible to show a media player card as "unavailable" or "offline" rather than have the red "no state available" card show up. This happens a media player is not on when HA restarts. I would rather not hide the entire card.

[mild veldt]

on 0.88 it should show as a yellow warning, but no, there's not a way around that besides the options we already discussed

[strong falcon]

@mild veldt Thanks. Are you referring to using a conditional card?

[mild veldt]

Yes

[strong falcon]

@mild veldt and that would just hide the error card right?

and if the block is still red, not yellow, do i need to update something?

[mild veldt]

no, it will be red. the media-control card has not been updated yet. I forgot.

media/plant/weather/history will render red error blocks if the entity is unavailable. All others will be "nice" yellow warnings. Try adding your media_player as a row in an entities card and you'll see what it looks like.
Regardless, for now, it will render the red error or you can hide it with a conditional. The only other suggestion I can think of is to investigate the usage of a universal media-player https://www.home-assistant.io/components/media_player.universal/

[civic stream]

Is there a way (and even a point?) in hiding entities from lovelace?

In "Unused entities", I have quite a lot of weird entities

[wheat current]

"Unused entities" are the hidden entities

[civic stream]

Alright. Just thought if there was a way of making HA take no notice of them at all. Just seeing the quantity made me think it could affect performance..

After all, it has the state of all these entities, even though I have excluded them from the recorder.

[mortal cape]

If they are weird entities in unused entities, then they exist as weird entities in the backend. Get rid of them there, and lovelace won't list them.
