Does it work with gestures?

polar kelp Apr 17, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

It hardly works at all at this point

elder pendant Apr 17, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

Lol I think with gestures it could be useful, but I definitely don't think I'd be able to hit that button accurately on mobile

mild veldt Apr 17, 2019, 3:04 PM

#

flip card?

#

or state switch with animations?

polar kelp Apr 17, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

flip-card

#

But state switch with animations is a neat idea...

#

Oh yes! That opens so many posibilities!

#

No sleep for me tonight

All of my cards disappear on my "main" HA tab if I open or close the side panel or try to edit the interface, is this a known issue or is my HA eating itself?

sharp talon Apr 17, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

@polar kelp to be effective the card size needs to stay the same proportions between views so not pull the user out of the ‘illusion’

amber jewel Apr 17, 2019, 4:29 PM

torpid notch Apr 17, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

in the icon field in lovelace, shout I enter mdi:icon-name or just icon-name?

raven nacelle Apr 17, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

mdi:icon_name

polar kelp Apr 17, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

or hass:icon_name

#

But that's a different icon set

raven nacelle Apr 17, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

where are all hass icons defined?

polar kelp Apr 17, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

a minute

torpid notch Apr 17, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

mdi:sprout results in an empty tab name 😦

raven nacelle Apr 17, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

not all mdi icons are immediately available in HA

#

try mdi:chart-line

torpid notch Apr 17, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

@raven nacelle Ah, didn't know that. mdi:flower looks better anyway, thanks for the quick help

#

seems like mdi:sprout is the only icon not available in HA 😄

polar kelp Apr 17, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

I thought there was a list of just a few hass: icons, but it seems the build script goes through the source and looks for hass:whatever, then loads that icon from the mdi set into a new one...

raven nacelle Apr 17, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

so any mdi icon should be available as hass icon?

polar kelp Apr 17, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

No. Only those that are used somewhere in the home-assistant-polymer source code. But every hass icon should be available as an mdi icon.

#

I don't quite see the point of the hass icons now, tbh

torpid notch Apr 17, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

In the old state view I'v got a group with a weblink at the end. While converting to lovelace, it said that the weblink was not correct and it falls back to the yaml editor. I corrected the config (an icon was missing), but now the card only displays the weblink and I can't click on it. Any tips for that?

Lots of big changes in button-card version 0.1.0 and 0.1.1 https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card/releases

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

kinda weird thing to ask i guess, but is there a list what exactly gets colored icons in an entity-row? i know of switch, binary_sensor, sun, lights... curious if I'm forgetting anything else? am trying to come up with an "icon coloring strategy for each entity component" per recent comment in ui-schema repo.

oh snap. button-card has been getting (even more) awesome lately 😃

hey using the gauge card how do i make the text fit perfectly https://i.gyazo.com/79ba79fa4dabb59b5a228bfda56506fc.png

#

as you can see the font is a little too big

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 1:15 AM

#

edit the js file or get a better cooling fan 🤣

vapid field Apr 18, 2019, 1:16 AM

if only the sensor had an exception for using metric lol (i live in the states so i need it on imperial default)

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 1:44 AM

#

@vapid field i think mini-graph card would probably make that look a lot nicer. https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card the cpu temp on my RPiB3+ is even longer character-wise than yours, 129.709° F lol

oh wait...i botched that

#

fixed

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

just updated, works really well, nice one 😃

#

this radial-menu card would be awesome combined with floorplan, will probably be a while before i get to making a floorplan though. but it'd be super neat to click on a virtual render of your printer to see ink levels, or your tv to see input/channel select, a sonos or something that you could click to select albums in radial-menu etc. could think of a bunch of cool ideas

elder pendant Apr 18, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

That is an excellent idea for the TV

#

I might have to install my second custom plugin now

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

@latent moss a floorplan was exactly what I had in mind for it 👍

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

floorplan was always one of those "nice to have" things that i kept pushing off to the backburner, but now this radial-menu card got me super excited for the possibilities of it. feels like this could be integrated practically everywhere in floorplan. instead of just on/off for lights now you could have easy shortcuts to like 10 different light scenes and stuff for example. can't wait to see what people come up with

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

it really needs a long press

#

so then you could have it as a light or whatever, but then on long press bring up all these other options

polar kelp Apr 18, 2019, 6:50 AM

#

I sneaked in a way to piggy-back off the built-in long press. Check how card-tools does it.

@mild veldt custom updater shows version 0.0.2 as the current version of button card. I added the GitHub URL as described in the read me.

Thanks.. .does raw config editor == ui editor from the gui? Can I do this from a manual card?

vapid field Apr 18, 2019, 12:26 PM

to get into the raw ui config you have to go to Configure UI -> Raw Config Editor by clicking the three dots at the top right

order is important

sour thunder Apr 18, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

Its in the calendar-card (https://github.com/rdehuyss/homeassistant-lovelace-google-calendar-card)

#

Its the first resource i include

#

I guess it works that way? Or does it include from the bottom? 😄

wheat current Apr 18, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

also ?track=true will not do anything for that card

sour thunder Apr 18, 2019, 12:59 PM

nope, just looks wierd

Atomic calendar works 😄

sour thunder Apr 18, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

@polar kelp sorry for pinging you, but is it possible to show your useful-markdown-card only if the sensor.updater exists? Would like to make a card which tells me when a update is available, but only show that card if an update is available 😄

#

/ is it possible to use the conditional card to check if an update is available? The docs say it can only check for state 😦

polar kelp Apr 18, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

If you have a condition with an entity that doesn't exist, it doesn't show up, does it? What is the state of sensor.updater when it does exist?

sour thunder Apr 18, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

Its the version number

#

Of the newest update

#

Thats available ^^

#

        conditions:
          - entity: sensor.updater
            state_not: "unavailable"
        card:
          type: custom:useful-markdown-card
          content: &markdown |
            # Update verfügbar ([[ sensor.updater.state ]])```
I made it like that, it doesnt show up. Have to test what happens when there is an update

#

the state_not is just because it doesnt work without 😄

#

Works at least when i make a sensor.updater dummy myself

#

Thanks 😄

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

@vapid field looks good, a lot nicer than gauge card. be sure to also check out the "dynamic line color" section towards the bottom of mini-graph-card docs. that is one of the coolest features of the card imo, very nice for temperature related sensors like you're doing. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/457678/52573150-cbd05900-2e19-11e9-9e01-740753169093.png

the logic by which cards are places is somewhat lunatic I must say

polar kelp Apr 18, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

It makes total sense if you’ve spent a few weeks studying the relevant source code.

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

Still waiting for you to overhaul it @polar kelp 😜

#

I'm not going to touch it

#

Maybe if I revisit muuri

polar kelp Apr 18, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

If you don’t have the time, @amber belfry , you can read this instead https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-modder/blob/master/README.md#forcing-size

amber belfry Apr 18, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

is a vertical stack counted as one unit or multiple units for the sake of the rule of five?

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

@latent moss Any way to align the text in the center after show_icon: false?

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

@raven nacelle it gets centered for me but i haven't tested all scenarios. you can try something like this.

          - type: custom:button-card
            entity: sensor.sonos_volume
            show_state: true
            show_icon: false
            style:
              - text-align: right

#

change text-align to center tho

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

It is centered....but aligns to the top

amber belfry Apr 18, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

I believe I could understand the logic that is implemented if I'll look at the source code sure, but I don't think it will ever make sense from the perspective of someone trying to make a frontend my users would want to use. I get the design principle behind this and with different screen sizes especially the mobile apps, the way its built makes it easy to run on say the iphone companion app where every card is below every other card.

#

But I have yet to create a view where every card is where I want it

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

@latent moss with ```
- type: custom:button-card
entity: sensor.sonos_volume
show_state: true
show_icon: false
style:
- height: 40px

#

I see

📎 unknown.png

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 3:27 PM

@raven nacelle I think you'll want to set vertical-align

that did not work

                  - height: 40px
                  - vertical-align: middle```

polar kelp Apr 18, 2019, 3:27 PM

@amber belfry a vertical-stack is the sum of the cards high. A horizontal stack is as high as the highest one.

what is the solution

amber jewel Apr 18, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

https://www.hastebin.com/ecuqakigih.bash

#

you gotta create a normal entry then a full line one with the custom slider

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

I see....so the slider appears in a different row

amber jewel Apr 18, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

guess lovelace doesnt support two lines

latent moss Apr 18, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

@raven nacelle i got it working i think... try this

#

            style:
              - height: 40px
              - text-align: center
              - line-height: 40px

amber jewel Apr 18, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

there are no double height rows

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

@latent moss That works 🎉

#

you don't need the text-align: center

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

@amber jewel not entirely true, we have secondary info

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:33 PM

@amber belfry use the layout card to manually define the layout

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

amber belfry Apr 18, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

I've looked at it but it scared me 😃

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

no other way to manually define the layout.

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Stacks could be used

#

But layout-card is more flexible, I believe. Have yet to play with it

amber belfry Apr 18, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

If I put the four cards in the upper right in a vertical-stack with the "Nächster Abfuhrtermin' Card in the lower center, it lays it out in two columns with the second one overflowing the screen

mild veldt Apr 18, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

You need to use panel true and everything in a single stack which then has additional stacks

amber belfry Apr 18, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

Actually that's the point where I snapped, threw something at the wall, angered the kitten, and came here to whine ^^

#

ok thanks everyone, it is what it is - lets try more stack options and the layout card

Two different ways of setting up my view with it, both gives problems. The first one makes the gap, the second one does not, but instead the view starts behind the header

Im in dire need of help with the lovelace cards. I updated to 90 weeks ago and Im just so messed up about making it work. I have read all the material, copied a few other users trying to make it work. I have been unsuccessful with almost everything in lovelace. I need HELP

elder pendant Apr 18, 2019, 9:42 PM

What errors are you having specifically?

quartz hazel Apr 18, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

any idea why live view not working?

https://imgur.com/a/kgECQZD

#

it's ffmpeg camera stream

raven nacelle Apr 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

Not all streams are supported (I think it has to be rtsp). See logs for details

quartz hazel Apr 18, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

behidn that is picture-entity card, where you can see pciture, but again, live view not working after i click and get new window

#

yap, it's rtsp

Hey all- how would I change the icon of a Zwave outlet that controls a light to appear the same as the rest of my actual lights

prime umbra Apr 18, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

is there any LL card that will reproduce a switch template icon_template to change icon depending on the state of the switch?

have always wanted to have my fan spin/animate when it's on, and finally made it happen... kind of 🤣 https://gfycat.com/InfatuatedMenacingBlackwidowspider

#

@latent moss what are you doing...? 😂

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

@mild veldt sad thing is that took me like 3 hours to do, one hour of which was spent editing the wrong darn file... an outdated one in /www/lovelace/ instead of /www/github/custom-cards/ .. no wonder the changes weren't showing up lol. total newb 😦

#

idea was to mimic a spinning fan blades though when it's on, the recent blink animation addition in custom:button-card reminded me i wanted that for a long time and tried to add spin animation too. but failed horribly lol

mighty kindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

@mild veldt That worked great thanks

#

i'm also having issues with the camera streaming - Setup exactly how i interpreted the doc- But both my test cameras just show idle and dont stream anything (log shows nothing)

#

stream:

camera:

platform: generic
name: "Vera's Room"
still_image_url: "null"
stream_source: "rtsp://usr:pwd@192.168.7.165/live"
platform: generic
name: "frontdoor"
still_image_url: "null"
stream_source: "rtsp://[usr]:[pwd]@[192.168.7.147]/live"

#

tired with and without brackets around user and pwd and ip

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

@mighty kindle try #330944238910963714

#

damnit @latent moss, now I'm dinking around with spin animations when I don't even have any smart fans

#

I got a good looking spin, but making the text not spin would require some refactoring

#

okay...i officially hate my gif making software

that's "60 fps"

okay...so stop having good ideas now so I can watch a show for a bit 😃

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 1:55 AM

#

@mild veldt a friend of mine just came up with this... 1000x hackier but kind of amazing that you can even do this at all lol https://hastebin.com/ezotukohup.cs

#

said that he basically hid the icon, and play an animated gif as the button background lol. hacky shortcut and wouldnt work for any other icons/colors etc but pretty cool

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

I have an entity-button connected to a Wemo Switch that is set to toggle, but when i press it, it doesn't do anything. However if I toggle it with the app, HA shows that it is in an on or off state. Am I doing something wrong?

#

it works fine if I use it in the states page and will toggle there with no problems

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

can you post your code @heavy cove

#

hard to help diagnose issues without seeing what you have

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 2:42 AM

#

type: entity-button
entity: switch.bedroomfan
tap_action: toggle
- type: entity-button
entity: switch.heaterfan
tap_action: toggle
- type: entity-button
entity: switch.speakers
tap_action: toggle

#

The buttons show correctly, but when you tap them... nothing happens

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 2:45 AM

#

i dont really use entity-button, but think it needs to be tap_action: action: toggle

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

ok.. I'll try that.. see if it makes a difference

#

@latent moss how would you have done it differently? It's just a button to manually turn the Wemo's off and on

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

well i use a custom card for all my buttons (custom:button-card) . it's a million times better than the default entity-button imo.

#

https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

#

For just toggling a switch like you want to do though, the default entity-button is fine.

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

That seemed to work perfectly fine

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

nice

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

When in doubt, read the docs

I read the docs.. but i miss interperated the docs.. sorry @mild veldt

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 3:37 AM

#

all good

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

I'm trying to set up the button-card @latent moss mentioned... to do that you need to install custom updater.. I followed the two instruction.. put the python file in the config/custom_componants and then added custom_updater: to the configuration.yaml file but when I restart HA it says Invalid confiig in the little bell up the top... what have I done wrong?

#

from pyupdate.ha_custom.custom_cards import CustomCards as Cards ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyupdate : is the error

errant plover Apr 19, 2019, 7:54 AM

#

You do not need to install custom updater. Tht's optional.

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

ok cool... but how come that doesn't work still?

errant plover Apr 19, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

Don't know. I don't use it. You probably need this: https://github.com/ludeeus/pyupdate

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 8:05 AM

#

Where do I put all that? There are no instructions

heavy cove Apr 19, 2019, 12:02 PM

#

@mild veldt Yeah.. I followed that.. I found that there was a missing step... you needed to take that pyupdate.. download the git repo zip. extract it and put that pyupdate folder into the custom_componants folder

#

reboot and it works

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 12:13 PM

yo im having difficulties getting a h264 stream to play in lovelace. the thumbnail works (updates every 5 seconds) but when i try and show more info it loads forever

#

has anyone gotten this working?

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

@vapid field is it a rtsp stream and are you using the stream component? Check logs for any errors

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

no its a https .m3u8 stream. i dont own the camera either (its a news skycam). nothing in log sadly

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

not all streams are supported by stream component (yet)

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

and im using ffmpeg camera atm

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

that may be why it is not workign

#

you need https://www.home-assistant.io/components/generic/#live-stream

#

if you want to use the stream component

#

it should fall back to the regular camera though

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

ok ill check it out. is there any way for me to test if my stream is compatible?

#

since there is no log output

#

I have migrated hassio and copied file lovelace file in .storage folder and ui-lovelace.yaml in config folder. Lovelace is the last state, ui-lovelace,yaml is in state when i migrated-too old. I use Raw config editor, now my hue light names has change and can not cghange them on floorplan. I have change the names in editor, but wont take effect, still showing triangle and old name.

#

because as i said, it somehow can grab updating thumbnails but it wont play the actual stream

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

only rtstp streams are supported. The logs should indicate if the stream is not supported and if you are using the stream config

#

@vapid field Don't copy those files...they will be created again.

#

You can use the Entities in configuration section to edit which entities you want to retain

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

can not copy the lovelace configuration?

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

yes, you can copy the config files

#

the files in .storage are supposed to be left alone. Only mess with them if you know what you are doing

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

so delete them, restart, then copy the inside in editor?

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

you only need the .yaml files to get started

#

so start with the bare minimum

heavy shoal Apr 19, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Hello, I have one question. the anchor in lovelace disappear after saved. Is that to avoid cross cards conflicts ?

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

wat?

small pike Apr 19, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

From your guys' experience what is the best calendar card to display google calendars?

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

@small pike I am using https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-google-calendar/63662 and works quite well

#

https://github.com/ljmerza/calendar-card is a version of the same card, I believe, and is updated

heavy shoal Apr 19, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

@mild veldt when you use yaml anchor in UI Lovelace, you save, you reopen this anchor was replaced by the content. Anyway I will persist my templates somewhere else and copy paste.

prime umbra Apr 19, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

@mild veldt config-template-cardworked perfect, was hard to get it working but got it done
is it possible to add a title: option for the card? 😃`

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

@prime umbra it already does

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

@heavy shoal anchors are not supported by the UI editor

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

you just use the title for the underlying card. See example https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/ui-lovelace.yaml#L427

prime umbra Apr 19, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

hmm did i miss that... let me look

small pike Apr 19, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

@raven nacelle thanks I'll check it out

#

@raven nacelle Just added it but it just keeps trying to load and won't display the calendar info

#

any idea?

heavy shoal Apr 19, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

@mild veldt ok 👌 at least I can use before it replaces

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

@small pike Follow the instructions carefully and make sure the .js file has the right permission/owners

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

@raven nacelle made some progress after updating HASS to 0.92. whats strange is the content is loading in my requests but its not showing in my browser

#

https://i.gyazo.com/d01e353ff137e61124e5f82051535ffc.png

#

any idea as to why this is happening

raven nacelle Apr 19, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

still ffmpg camera?

#

I am guessing it is making the request and then realizing that the stream is not compatible

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

@vapid field - try putting ?latest at the end of your url or javascript_version: latest under the frontend section in your config.

#

Also @raven nacelle - more than RTSP is supported, any H264 live streaming protocol is supported, HLS, SRTP, etc.

#

FFMPEG camera supports stream now too, as well as Amcrest, and in .92 a bunch more.

vapid field Apr 19, 2019, 6:50 PM

@green ice so one of my cameras works but the other doesn't. both are currently using ffmpeg. is there any alternative to ffmpeg camera component for m3u8?

to make the spin stop when turned to off

#

thanks

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

np

#

@gilded veldt imo i think it would probably be easier to just use custom button-card instead of modding the extremely limited entity-button. custom button-card has blink built in (along with spin and many other features), see the last example on this page: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

gilded veldt Apr 19, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

ok thanks

elder pendant Apr 19, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

@mild veldt is there a plan to add state_image to the radial menu? Or is there a way to do that that I'm missing?

#

I can just set icon to none and put it on top of a state_image. That works for now 👍

mild veldt Apr 19, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

@latent moss the idea of use a single plugin to customize rather than each card implementing it slightly different is IMO a much better approach

#

@elder pendant feel free to add a feature request to the repository

elder pendant Apr 19, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

Oops, there already is a request. Sorry for bothering

latent moss Apr 19, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

in theory yeah... i just don't like the fact that you need a plugin to mod very basic features into entity-button that (imo) should be there already. Not necessarily in this specific case matrix mentioned, but other extremely basic things like displaying the yellow "on" state for input_boolean etc. for me it feels like it's easier to just use another card that has those features instead of bolting things on 🤷

@latent moss IMO it's far better if the features are in core as for instance if a dev loses intereest in a custom card, unless you are lucky enough to have another dev take it up it's dead. So I'd really prefer to use NO custom cards at all..

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

how does lovelace decide to go to three columns

#

I just converted a fairly overloaded page to vertical-stack

#

but once I got down to three, it went to two column

#

and now I can't see everything on one screen

mild veldt Apr 20, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

@timid burrow my sentiments tend to go back and forth on this. You'll never see everything in core. It's also just as likely to become a victim of devs losing interest. Cards in the custom-card org is huge as that allows a group to contribute more easily. My hope is that we can get core to treat custom cards as first-class citizens. The difference between the two is then almost gone. 🤞

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

@mild veldt I feel like the way to do that is to have a way to browse them from inside home assistant

#

a way to know they are vetted

#

and ideally a way to install them from home assistant

#

though the last one is more of a want than a need

mild veldt Apr 20, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

We've talked of such a thing

#

But requires someone to build it

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

yeah

#

I feel like the current set up is good

#

I mean there is enough to do in core right now

#

like I'd like a way to organize cards via drag and drop far before the ability to auto install

#

I think that is my biggest frustration with the ui atm

#

though, my frustration is not very high

#

I can't really complain about HA

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Would that only tie to the custom-cards repos? Or have like a registry for custom cards

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

@elder pendant a registry

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

Like livesplit does with autosplitters and igt timers

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

I've never used those

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

I could take a crack at a plugin browser. That sounds like a fun project

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

Just make it better than npm 😛

#

more seriously though

#

I'd think you would want a way to track HA version compatibility

#

wrt plugin version

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

Meh, I'd probably just make it a separate service. It wouldn't be lovelace based

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

yeah

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

Oh you mean like make it a requirement for the cards to add what version it's for?

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

yeah

#

even if it's a way to say this is known to work with .91

#

etc

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

Oh yeah, there's a few properties I was thinking that would be useful

#

I would not want to get into supporting multiple versions within the service. Devs can just upload the latest version

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

hmm

#

I would think that would be critical

#

since if someone wants to downgrade, they would need to see the older versions

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

Lovelace cards don't really have compatibility issues like that though. At least very rarely

pallid needle Apr 20, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

ah ok

#

I just started using custom ones

#

and saw some reference to version issues

elder pendant Apr 20, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

There was a major change a month or two back

#

But it was something with an html element or something that was deprecated

#

Or a change to which one to use in HA

latent moss Apr 20, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

@timid burrow I mostly agree with you. I think it’s a bit unfortunate that many users (myself included) need to rely on third party custom cards for basic UI elements like buttons or graphs. Ideally the fundamental UI stuff like that should be handled well at the OS level, with custom cards being more for integrating third party services.

But it seems like in most cases this stuff isn’t wanted in core, a lot of configuration and/or styling options seem to get shot down in the name of simplicity. Which I think is a fine goal to have, but there can be more of a middle ground here. IMO keep the UI editor basic and simple to use, but still allow extra config options for those who toggle to manual/YAML mode.

timid burrow Apr 20, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

@latent moss agree! I was dismayed to see that things as simple as changing the button when the state changes is a no-no for the core card and that is the reason I ended up using the custom-button card in the first place. Seems a lot of basic features are outside the 'vision' I use a bunch of custom cards for the same reasons you do but it does make me a bit nervous!

#

should also add, for anyone that hasn't tried it, you can just add the card in lovelace... any of the ones here https://github.com/custom-cards/ as long as you are using the custom_updater and all you need do is add them to the config like this as an example:

  - url: /customcards/github/custom-cards/text-divider-row.js
    type: js

Then if you check in the tracker card it will show that card with the available version and N/A as the installed version. Just tap Update All and it will download it for you so as long as lovelace references it that's all you need to do!

wheat current Apr 20, 2019, 8:30 AM

Isn't that missing a ?track=true at the end to work? 🤔

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to make a call service lovelace entity button to toggle the media_player.volume_mute service. I have tried to use data_template and have an if statement for is_volume_muted but no matter what I do it displays this error,

Failed to call service media_player/volume_mute. required key not provided @ data['is_volume_muted']

#

Can anyone help me with this, I have searched github and google to find the best way to make it work correctly but have had no luck with peoples answers so far, any ideas?

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/service-calls/ under use templates to determine the attributes

split granite Apr 20, 2019, 9:59 AM

That's a script

#

That's a backend thing

#

Not Lovelace

leaden mantle Apr 20, 2019, 9:59 AM

#

yeah, my bad.

#

So would I be better making a script I assume

split granite Apr 20, 2019, 9:59 AM

#

Also, I'm pretty sure that there's zero support for templates in Lovelace 😉

#

Yes, or have Lovelace toggle an input boolean, and use that state change to call an automation

leaden mantle Apr 20, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

I was thinking I could do an automation or script but was thinking that seemed excessive just to toggle a mute

#

or maybe a switch?

#

Actually would a switch be better?

split granite Apr 20, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

Probably not

#

It's likely to be more complicated

#

You could do it with https://www.home-assistant.io/components/switch.template/ though

#

A script would require the least "moving parts"

leaden mantle Apr 20, 2019, 10:02 AM

Alright, i'll do a script, thanks for that.

timid burrow Apr 20, 2019, 10:14 AM

@wheat current it’s actually indifferent to track=true and works just fine without it as I posted.

Cool :D
That's actually a bug then 🙈

#

Could be worse 😛

timid burrow Apr 20, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

Well it’s great working without that. I was actually wondering if it was ever needed, Some cards tell you to add that but a bunch don’t and they all work. Is there a downside to the ‘bug’?

wheat current Apr 20, 2019, 10:19 AM

#

yes, if you allready structure your cards like this:

/customcards/github/custom-cards/super_awesome_card.js

#

it will overwrite it when you check, if there is a card with the same name in that org

timid burrow Apr 20, 2019, 10:20 AM

#

I only do that for the ones in that custom-cards repo

#

So are you saying all cards in the custom-cards repo should have track=true in there?

#

I would think you can’t have 2 custom cards with the same name anyway.... you can only reference one with the name

wheat current Apr 20, 2019, 10:26 AM

#

could have, but since it's not doing anything, I don't see a reason to use it 😛

timid burrow Apr 20, 2019, 10:28 AM

#

But when you tell lovelace the type: custom-card there can not be 2 custom-card s even if you define them in resources.... I don’t see a way to differentiate between 2 cards with the same name... in fact I think lovelace will throw an error if you try and load the same resource twice even though they would be ‘different’?

how do I add "devices" to my home screen?

I have an ESPHome device configured but I am not sure how to add it to my home page on hassio, also How do I set up devices for google assistant?

Do I need to make some changes to config file? if yes then what should I add in there?

split granite Apr 20, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

FYI, Hass.io is the install method you used to install Home Assistant - the software we all run

#

If you've done nothing with Lovelace, it should only need you to refresh the page

fiery gyro Apr 20, 2019, 3:52 PM

🤔

#

I see the device on my integrations page under configuration but not in "overview" tab

#

does it make sense?

split granite Apr 20, 2019, 3:54 PM

Yes

You should find that if you go to Overview and do <CTRL><SHIFT><R> that causes that page to refresh

The "Reload Lovelace" button on the screen that shows when a parser error occurs has not worked for a number of versions now (currently 0.91.3). Am I the only one that creates parser errors? ( mode: yaml ). I have to refresh the page and log in again once I've fixed my grammer.

#

@tepid umbra you also have fewer closing } in lines 48-51 than you have their opening siblings in lines 1-7. I think you need another } after line 50. Then try adding commas after the closing } ] in 48-51. Its hard to see without a proper editor and indentation.

Try adding the } before the commas, though

are there other options for light cards for a linear slider instead of a circular one?

elder pendant Apr 23, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

Not with default cards

#

But you can use this custom one https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-slider-entity-row

bitter compass Apr 23, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

does this go in my lovelace.yaml file? the .js go in same directory?

#

oh wait, the markup goes in a card? guess i need to google where to put the .js file

rotund thicket Apr 23, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

@mild veldt I'm using https://github.com/custom-cards/camera-card and I want to integrate that card into a picture elements card. Since the camera entity I use has transparency, your module doesn't handle it very well

#

This is the expected result: https://imgur.com/w5QQ5RT
and this is the result with your module: https://imgur.com/U5Nmmfm

#

Ahh. the reason I don't want to use picture instead of your module is that because it won't update real time

bitter compass Apr 23, 2019, 4:56 PM

latent moss Apr 24, 2019, 3:36 AM

#

I'm wondering whether it's safe to use camera_view: live on a Raspberry Pi? It seems to be working very nicely, and with seemingly little processor use. The WIP blog post for 0.92 says "Warn, can use a lot of data. We are exploring being able to add a mode to only show it on desktop." which sounds like it's talking about lots of network data/bandwidth. But is it doing the same for SD card writes or something that will murder my Pi faster?

#

I have it on a separate view at the moment and not my main one, not sure if that makes any difference, like is it always constantly streaming the live view or whatever even if you're not on that tab is my question i guess.

sharp talon Apr 24, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

@mild veldt Padding doesn't seem to work for me with a blank-card but if I set to card or remove the colour type all together it does work but doesn't display as intended (no card) 😦

polar kelp Apr 24, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

@sharp talon I won't say because of copyright liability and stuff, but what you're looking for is a MiFlora DataBase, a "MiFloraDB" if you will...

sooo, I'm a bit salty. I got a cheap amazon fire hd 8 tablet, and wanted to go the route of fully kiosk or wallpanel but both don't work correctly because of the outdated webview component in fireos

#

does anyone know about some workaround for this

polar kelp Apr 24, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

I think I heard something about being able to upgrade the OS if you root them... but I'm not sure.

prime umbra Apr 24, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

@polar kelp is there any way toggle-lock-entity-row could have option for pin mode protection?

polar kelp Apr 24, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

It's not really meant for security. Think of it like the piece of tape on your light switch that reminds you that oh yeah, there's a smart light bulb in that one...

#

That being said, it's due for an overhaul. Add an issue on github and I'll see if it makes sense when I get there.

amber belfry Apr 24, 2019, 11:09 AM

OK that's helpful. Let's see if I can get this done.

@polar kelp after updating card-modder to Latest commit 0a6b0a8 it negatively affected 16 of my views. Nothing in dev console, as this is not generating any errors I have found so far. 2 examples w/before & after here: https://imgur.com/a/LFfNJlw Kinda the same thing you had fixed way back with modder, but not exactly the same. Partial code here for just the beginning of the first view up to the first card: https://pastebin.com/N3gLzkP6 Thanks! FYI reverted back to version 8b0479a and it went back to original styling.

polar kelp Apr 24, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

Right. I know what the problem is. I’ll add a fix lter, but you’ll need to add one line to your config.

#

In the end I think you’ll appreciate the new feature.

atomic glacier Apr 24, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

@polar kelp you should know me by now...always loving new features😉 I'll stay reverted till you release, though, as that looked awful in my views😂 Thanks for the hard work as usual!!!

scarlet kiln Apr 24, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

I cant seem to figure out. How do I extract an attribute value of an entity to display on the lovelace glance card ?

#

how do i refer to an attribute ?

elder pendant Apr 24, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

The easiest way is to make it into its own sensor first https://www.home-assistant.io/components/template/

scarlet kiln Apr 24, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

thanks, i remember not too long ago there is a way to directly refer to attribute without creating a sensor... or did i remember wrongly ?

#

maybe i remember wrongly, or it was a customise attribute card

polar kelp Apr 24, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

@atomic glacier I just uploaded a new version of card-modder.

#

The new feature I was talking about is that it will now automatically mod every card in a stack or layout-card separately. So you can do yaml type: custom:card-modder style: --ha-card-background-color: blue card: type: vertical-stack cards: - lots - of - cards

#

And every card in the stack will get a blue background.

#

However, as you found out that means you can't mod the stack itself. So I added another option: yaml type: custom:card-modder style: styles-for-stack recurse: false card: type: vertical-stack

#

If you're a bit clever you can combine it: yaml type: custom:card-modder style: [styles for every card] card: type: custom:card-modder style: [styles for the stack card] recurse: false card: type: vertical-stack cards: - a card - type: custom:card-modder style: [aditional styles for just this card. Will apply on top of [styles for every card] above] card: ... - yet another card

#

I do not recommend using the recursion thing for styles which contain templates ( [[ ... ]] ) for now.

#

The combination thing is purely theoretical, btw. I haven't actually tried it...

atomic glacier Apr 24, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

@polar kelp SWEET! Will definitely check it out when I get back to the house. Excellent new feature BTW getting ideas already 👍

polar kelp Apr 24, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

I imagine you could clean up your yaml quite a bit

atomic glacier Apr 24, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

Yeah, between that and nodes I should be able to make some progress finally. Thanks again!

where do you whitelist the IP?

#

I don't see that anywhere

indigo mauve Apr 25, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

hello

#

I noticed something interesting - I have a tab configured with 6 cameras on it. when I click on one of images to initiate streaming, that camera live video overlay comes up but then the whole bacground page starts to jigger around as scroll bar shows up for a split a second and then disappear and it's just keep doing that

#

this is on win10, chrome73

#

interesting observation - I had that tab defined as view which consists of 2 groups (few cameras in each group) . I just removed groupping and included cameras straight to the view group itself and jiggling effect disappeared.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hi, I am trying to install the Waze travel time into lovelace but am having a heck of a time with it. Someone able to walk a hassio noob through setting this up?

#

Here is the link to the component...https://www.home-assistant.io/components/waze_travel_time/

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

what have you tried so far @keen sundial ?

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 3:40 AM

#

I have read the install instructions...I see that the git has a .py file. The truth is I see the code, but I am not quite clear on where everything goes. I added the senso to my configuration.yaml...but I don't know where the rest of the code from the instructions goes.

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 3:43 AM

#

ok, well you seemingly did the first step correct (adding sensor code to configuration.yaml) . If you open the sidebar and go to Configuration -> General -> Check Config, and that reports that your configuration is valid, then you would click the "Restart" button on the bottom of that screen.

#

After your system restarts, then you should have a new sensor added to Home Assistant with the waze address(es) you listed. You would look for these in the States page (also in the sidebar - the states icon at the bottom). Once you have the entity_id of the new sensor then you add it to lovelace and it shows up in your UI.

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

This is what is in my configuration.yaml: sensor waze:

platform: yr
platform: waze_travel_time
origin: Tampa, FL
destination: Orlando, FL
region: 'US'

#

Ack..sorry..the "sensos waze" is the line above the -platform: yr

#

"sensor waze" geez, sorry on the typing

frosty pelican Apr 25, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

@odd light go to blue iris global settings -> web server -> advanced -> Require from Non-LAN only, check secured session.....in the text box ^192.168.1.x replace with your HA IP then click ok twice

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

that part looks fine @keen sundial but just make sure your configuration.yaml file only has one line that says sensor:

#

So basically should look like this:

sensor:
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    origin: Tampa, FL
    destination: Orlando, FL
    region: 'US'

  - platform: yr

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

OK...I understand that I can have different sensors as long as I identify them. Like "Style 2" in this link: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/devices/

#

Is that ok to do?

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

style 1 is how you'd want to do it in this case

#

sensor:
  - platform: waze_travel_time
    origin: Tampa, FL
    destination: Orlando, FL
    region: 'US'

  - platform: waze_travel_time
    origin: Miami, FL
    destination: Jacksonville, FL
    region: 'US'

#

like that... if you copy and paste exactly like that and then just edit the origin/destination you should be fine.

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

Out of curiosity...is there a standard or a reason to use style 1 over 2?

#

BTW...I am going to copy that now as we are speak. Thank you for the help.

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

Style 1 is the standard that 99% of people and examples / documentation seem to use, so it's best to just stick with that especially if you are new.

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 4:03 AM

#

Makes perfect sense. I was thinking it would be neater to identify each sensor individually...probably overthought it a bit.

#

This is gonna sound silly...but when you say "add it to lovelace" I am getting lost. From the Configure UI I click the big orange plus button, then pick sensor, then pick the entity we just added. But there are two WAZE sensors now...and neither seems to give travel times. I am going to mess with it for a bit.

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

So what you did was try to add a sensor card which is different. What you want to do in this case is press the big orange plus button and then on that screen choose the "Entities" option

#

after you click on the "Entities" option click the dropdown as you did and search for the two waze sensors you added, then press Save.

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

See, I think that is where I need to get more information. Not sure why to pick 'Entities" when we added a sensor.

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

different cards display things in different ways. sensor would probably still work in this case but i think "Entities" is the best/easiest to use for now

keen sundial Apr 25, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Nice...OK. Progress. I now have a card with two (2) cars with the Waze cars...but the time is "unknown." Which is OK, that means it's something with the config of the Waze component.

#

WAIT!!! One of them updated. Now it shows 291 minutes...but the other still says UNKNOWN.

latent moss Apr 25, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Nice, well now you know the basics of how to add new sensors and then put them into your UI. That was the hard part 😃

#

So basically the Waze Travel Time updates every 5 min, so it will take a bit to retrieve the new values.. and there's currently some issues with it that are being fixed too, so it might say Unknown for a little longer than 5 min, but rest assured it will fill in eventually

Ooh...I see "default_view"...but what about "default_view" per user?

but, now after setting up all my needed cards, I want to make a floorplan and according to guides out there, I need to create a ui-lovelace.yaml file..???

#

so question, where did HA store my current lovelace UI and configs ?

#

did or does....

tribal warren Apr 26, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

hi there, I just created a lovelace ui in the browser. Now I want to have the same ui in the ios app. How can I set the ui for all devices or even users?

elder pendant Apr 26, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

The UI is shared between all devices and users

tribal warren Apr 26, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

when I open the ios app it still shows the old view and the only way I see atm is to click on the 3 dots top right and select user defined ui

polar kelp Apr 26, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

I gave the flower-card a bit of a facelift...

📎 Skarmavbild_2019-04-26_kl._19.58.26.png

tribal warren Apr 26, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

any idea how to set this up the right way for all users and devices?

elder pendant Apr 26, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

I don't have an iphone, so I can't say how ios works for sure. On android and browsers the UI is shared

polar kelp Apr 26, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

@cedar badger What version of Home Assistant are you on?

#

@tribal warren, I mean. Sorry for the ping, dodge.

tribal warren Apr 26, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

0.91.1

#

I set up the ui in the web editor.

#

Ahh toggling the default ui in the dev-info/about page and adding the lovelace code in the raw editor in the browser did it.

elder pendant Apr 26, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

Oh, I kinda forgot states ui was a thing 😅

polar kelp Apr 26, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

Oh. I misunderstood you. I thought it opened the wrong interface only once on every new device, but it was every time on only one device, right?

tribal warren Apr 26, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

lol but only if I go to the lovelace ui with that button in the about page

#

opening the app fresh it loads into the old ui

#

yes

#

I mean I set it up in the browser on my laptop and now I struggle with the ios app

elder pendant Apr 26, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

You shouldn't need to copy the raw editor contents, just setting lovelace as the default on the device should be enough

tribal warren Apr 26, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I think I got it. I got confused with the text in the about page… "set states as default page on"/"remove states as default page on"

#

lovelace is the default when "go to lovelace" is actually not shown there right?

polar kelp Apr 26, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

Correct

anyway of embedding a full iframe?
<iframe src="https://xxx" style="border-width:0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

#

just using the src as a url isnt working

wheat current Apr 26, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Save that snippet in a html file under www, and use the usl to that file in the card

Hi

#

Cannot find lovelace migration in addons

#

Have added https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository, any tip?

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

@final fox that's not a thing anymore

#

there's no migration

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

Oh

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

what version are you on?

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

newest

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

then you're likely using lovelace already

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

oh

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

but in auto-generated mode

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

did not look any better 😛

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

which pretty much looks the same

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

where is the yaml file for it though?

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

do you want to edit it from the UI or from a yaml file>

#

?

#

If you want to use a yaml file, follow this https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

aaah

mild veldt Apr 26, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

i prefer UI

final fox Apr 26, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

yeah

#

I'll try that first

#

stopped using yaml when i got NodeRed for automations

#

so hopefully I can stop use yaml all over

#

doubtful in the near term, but some day perhaps

#

lots of people use http://www.sweethome3d.com

for the initially drawing

#

and then you use the picture-elements card to overlay elements on the card

thanks

limpid remnant Apr 27, 2019, 1:00 AM

#

I'm using mode: yaml. Maybe I need to restore an image and play around with the managed UI mode. I'm happy with VIM via ssh editing and managing my files. But UI based validattion and real-time card updates would be nice. So, when I drop into RAW mode how robust are the searching, copying, indenting? If I need to be in RAW mode for

#

custom cards (a lot of them) how is the UI mode? I'm concerned about a one-way migration.

Hey, i have some binary sensors, these are windows open closed RF sensors. I'm looking for a way to see the open closed history in a graf. From when till when its open, when till when closed.
Similar to the generic graf you can see when pressing on the sensor icon but something that can be more customized.
Any leads / ideas?

anyone know how to set a minimum width for an iframe - only getting a letter box of my frame

mild veldt Apr 27, 2019, 1:02 PM

#

@storm lion aspect_ratio

storm lion Apr 27, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

@mild veldt - seems to only do length?

mild veldt Apr 27, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

are you able to share the site you're trying to use?

storm lion Apr 27, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

google calendar iframe through a html file saved in local

#

I guess I could force it full width with panel, not ideal but a start

#

maybe I should look at something like hadashboard

wheat current Apr 27, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

force 100% in both directions in the hml file, then tweaak it in lovelace using aspect_ratio

storm lion Apr 27, 2019, 2:47 PM

Thank You!

limpid remnant Apr 28, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

@pallid lance I'm not sure if there is a direct way to use your sensors (unless they report numeric values for open and closed). if they don't a hack is to create a template sensor something like this:

#

  sensors:
    window_1_num_state:
      friendly_name: Window 1 Numeric State
      value_template: >
        {% if is_state("sensor.window_1","closed") %} 
           0
        {% elif is_state("sensor.window_1","open") %} 
           1
        {% else %}
          -1
        {% endif %}```

#

And graph that, perhaps using the https://github.com/custom-cards/canvas-gauge-card (the bar format)

pallid lance Apr 28, 2019, 12:13 AM

#

@limpid remnant interesting, ill try it. Tks

limpid remnant Apr 28, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

Actually, for this you probably want the mini-graph-card. See the example: https://pastebin.com/nNKxSziG

#

I wrapped it in the custom:card-modder to apply styles.

#

(and of course you need to check for the states as reported by your sensors, that may or may not be "open" and "closed"

limpid remnant Apr 28, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

@pallid lance Also make sure that your derivative numeric sensors are included in your recorder: list so history is tracked.

nocturne dust Apr 28, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

So I've flashed a tuya smart switch with Tasmota, setup hassio (I'm a new user), configured mqtt (I think, the log seems to show hass and the switch both connected just fine), but I can't figure out how to get the switch to show up on the Overview where I can easily control it from there

#

I added a switch to the configuration.yaml file so my assumption was that, even if it isn't configured properly, a switch would show on the UI. But nothing

#

What am I missing?

pallid lance Apr 28, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

I'm using the mini-graf-card for a temparture reporting graf, but I cant find the right settings for the open closed sensors @limpid remnant

#

@polar kelp I've plasted the js file in the plugins folder.
Set it in the lovelace same way I did with mini-graf-card.
Why it doesn't work?
I'm on 9.2 Hassio

#

Doesn't let me upload here screenshot

keen sundial Apr 28, 2019, 3:22 AM

I would like a lovelace button for the alarm that when I push it opens the keypad to arm/disarm, etc. Tried to make an "entity button" but that's not working so well.

hey guys for some reason HA is not detecting my lovelace yaml - i'm getting /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/ui-lovelace.yaml not found in the info page - I've checked and yaml mode is on and the permissions etc.. are fine on the OS

Can i see a log somewhere if lovelace fails?

limpid remnant Apr 28, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

@pallid lance Try this minimum config for the graph, then you can add to it. Use the template sensor that creates numeric values from your window sensor. type: custom:mini-graph-card entities: - entity: sensor.your_template_sensor_name show: graph: bar state: true extrema: true labels: false group: true hours_to_show: 24 points_per_hour: 1 lower_bound: -1

#

You may also need to increase the points_per_hour:

I'm thinking of using a glance card, and displaying all the data in the image in the glance card

polar kelp Apr 29, 2019, 7:07 AM

Either make template sensors for each attribute you wish to display, or use this: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-more-info-card

vapid field Apr 29, 2019, 8:32 AM

#

@nocturne dust If you configured it properly, you should see an entity matching your smart swtich on the entity page. If you do, set up a new lovelace card with "entities" or one of the entities card, and add that smart switch entity on the lovelace UI.

vapid field Apr 29, 2019, 10:40 AM

ok, how do I easily change the code so the buttons appear white? Im no coder, I do sys admin for a living 😛

charred dragon Apr 29, 2019, 2:43 PM

just edit the theme your currently using to a white hex value for the icon active / unactive variables

in your hass config folder themes are normally placed inside themes.yaml

Hello, i use Hass.OS on Raspberry Pi 3B just make the group section ready like i did in an older Install but they dont show. Is there any change how to handle this in lovelace ? thx for your Help ...

polar kelp Apr 29, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

With lovelace the frontend and backend are disconnected. Groups in the backend hardly affects the frontend att all. Instead you select which entities you wish to see where.

#

If you never made a change to the interface, however, groups should still show up to ease the transition for new users.

#

But after your first ever manual change, the auto generation is deactivated.

normal folio Apr 29, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

okay, so i have to configure everything in a new way ?

Or is there a way to set back ?

Huh, I added some of the HA-awesome linked themes but the background of the UI stays white on all of them

Not the same thing, but it's what there is now

grim cairn Apr 30, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

Hmmm...doesn't have the card I'm after really... basically my situation is as follows:
I have 3 controls for my AIRCON: AUTO, TIMER, COOL.

Currently these use a dropdown menu (input select), the problem is these actually represent 6 states of logic: i.e. AUTO when on is AUTO, or MANUAL when off. COOL is COOL when on, or VENT when off. So the dropdown bar doesn't make sense in this context.

But... I don't want 3 separate on/off switches, I would like a row of buttons, or something more elegant?

#

Any Card in Lovelace with a row of Buttons?

polar kelp Apr 30, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

You can use a horizontal-stack with entity-button cards that set the value of an input_select via service calls.

#

With card-modder too you can make it work like the buttons to the right in those gifs: https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/460846676358332417/568532898798633015

The following attributes of the entity are set programatically.
You can override them if you like.

#

I'm having trouble with live streaming camera feeds to lovelace cards. It worked for about 30 mins but since then it's been blank. If i remove the camera_view: live, I can see the camera but the update interval is what it is. Does anybody have any ideas?

But with which "attribute" i could change the icon

#

@vapid field You should use icon:
