If thats the button card you are using.... then yes.

#

well... or it seems so.

honest herald May 9, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

yeah the one @elder pendant posted

#

not sure why it it wouldnt support scene

elder pendant May 9, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

If you are having problems with a custom card, open an issue on the repository

honest herald May 9, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

ok yeah guess that's the route to go.

tacit cave May 10, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

who's the theme master here?

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:29 AM

#

is there any way to track light brightness_pct level on a history graph?

#

what do you need to do with themes? its just basic IDs and color

#

i.e. primary-color: "#EA1111"

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

is brightness_pct a attribute of a entity or sensor?

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

entity

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

Okay

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

for a light on a dimmer

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

let me remember my templating.

#

{{states.calendar.vdmaul_gmail_com.attributes.start_time}}

#

Okay so if you go into the side panel on the bottom there should be a button that looks like a peice of paper

#

if you go in there you can test out templating for values.

#

so I want you to try {{states.<NAME OF LIGHT ENTITY>.attributes.<NAME OF ATTRIBUTE YOU WANT>}}

#

if you get a number or value then we can make a custom sensor or thing for history to graph

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

{{states.bar_level.attributes.brightness_pct}} nothing to the left

#

er right

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

Yeah.

#

That should get us something

#

Oh actually {{states.bar_level.attributes}} will get us all the attributes shown that we can grab and the proper names

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

even tried {{states.light.bar_level.attributes.brightness_pct}}

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

Try just the above without an attribute name

#

just attributes

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

heh, says none 🤔

#

guess that entity has no attributes?

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

Huh

#

Let me think

#

where do you find brightness_pct in HA?

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

on the states icon for this one i get this brightness: 75
node_id: 3
value_index: 0
value_instance: 1
value_id: 72057594093076481
friendly_name: Bar
supported_features: 1

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

Hmmmm

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

but its for light.bar_level

#

its zwave if that matters

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

hmmmm

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

ah, brightness_pct doesnt work but brightness does

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

😄

#

Ayyyyy

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

thats fine, i dont need pct

#

just need to watch the level

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:42 AM

#

Now if we turn that into a template sensor we should be able to have history graph it

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:42 AM

#

so how do i get {{states.light.bar_level.attributes.brightness}} into a history graph?

#

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

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:43 AM

#

We make something like this in configuration.yaml

#

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      Lite_Brite:
        friendly_name: "Light Brightness"
        unit_of_measurement: 'Brightness'
        value_template: "{{states.light.bar_level.brightness}}"

#

if you already have sensor: in your YAML you don't need that part

#

then just double check it validates and restart HA

#

and it should show up as a graph in history

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

got it, didnt like the Lite_Brite.... caps, so just LC'd it

#

so i add history graph card?

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

You can add a history graph card. Though I think it should show up in the history tab too

#

If you want it on home screen then yeah add history graph card

#

^_^

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

as entity: lite_brite ?

#

type: history-graph
entities:

sensor.lite_brite

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

I think so

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

so really i need to copy that for all my lights i want to track?

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

I think so. Let me check

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

odd the scale is -1.0 to 1.0 but dont really care about that

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

Did it give a value yet?

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

no value yet

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

it sets scale based on the value given

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

birghtness is currently 75

#

hmmm went back to template editor with {{states.light.bar_level.brightness}} and now get nothing again

#

actually says None

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

wqeird

#

let me see if there is a better way

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

no wait, i lost attributes out of it

#

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

Gah

#

templating

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

but now it says no state history found.... maybe since no change since reboot?

#

i can make sensor card from sensor.bar_bright and shows 75

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

Shoot.

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

was just trying to plot the light level on history graph

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

Hmmm

#

Does the sensor update on specific time table? or when only the light level changes

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

also i wonder if it will track transition command sent to light

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

I probably screwed up the formatting

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

i just changed the level and no change

#

oh weird, i just made a sensor card to watch the level sange and the history graph updated.

#

guess its just slow to update.

lament fulcrum May 10, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

Huh

#

Well now we've got something

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 3:07 AM

#

hmm, not sure lovelace is updating very fast

#

when i refresh page it shows all the changes, but just made a change and watching it now to see how long it takes lovelace to update

bitter compass May 10, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

so my history graph card yaml is this:
entities:

sensor.bar_bright
sensor.lounge_bright
sensor.artwall_bright
sensor.centerlights_bright
sensor.chandelier_bright
hours_to_show: 10
refresh_interval: 10
type: history-graph

#

but it groups the last 5 but keeps the first one seperate

#

cant seem to figure out why

white yew May 10, 2019, 2:46 PM

Hi I'm having an issue with my frontend not showing correct state of lights. It will show lights as on when they are off. If I toggle the switch to the off state it will turn on itself after 1 or 2 seconds. This only affects the switch in the interface, the light itself does not turn on.

Running on Docker, home assistant version 0.92.2. Tried using both google chrome and Samsung internet on my phone.

#

To add, this only happens for ikea Tradfri devices

civic sedge May 10, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

correct state in states ?

You do realise that the timer card is for a timer...

gaunt shuttle May 10, 2019, 3:29 PM

oh...

#

what i want is :

#

i have a switch i control by mqtt...i have automation so that after turns on, 45 minutes after it turns off...what i want is that near the icon show the remaining time to turn off

#

i think i must create a timer first right

elder pendant May 10, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

Yes

split granite May 10, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

Duh 😉

#

Create timer
Start timer when switch turns on
When timer stops, turn switch off
Show pretty timer in pretty UI

gaunt shuttle May 10, 2019, 3:32 PM

like this?

#

- alias: Timerswitch
  id: 'Timerstart'

  - platform: state
    entity_id: switch.toalheiro_wc_suite
    to: 'on'
  action:

split granite May 10, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

And give it a time, unless you've defaulted it to 45 minutes

gaunt shuttle May 10, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

so above it can be my automation right?

split granite May 10, 2019, 3:33 PM

That automation looks broadly right for what you're after

@gaunt shuttle that timer-card is a WIP. It looks pretty lame right now. I think it at least works 🤷

I'm trying use a picture card that points to a photo that gets updated routinely, but it appears that the front end is caching it hard. any suggestions?

elder pendant May 10, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

iirc people get around this by creating a "camera" entity for the picture. You set the still_image_url to the image you update regularly

glossy anchor May 10, 2019, 4:40 PM

Hello and go easy, first post 😃 I have installed motion eye and can now showing on the left, click on log in and thats good. however all the images are in one above the other, Can I create a tab that just shows the feeds in a like 4. I want this like this so it can be on the tablet (on wall) in hall. Ta

split granite May 10, 2019, 4:42 PM

Have a look at https://github.com/custom-cards/surveillance-card too

glossy anchor May 10, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

Thank you 😃

split granite May 10, 2019, 4:42 PM

There's also other options, including horizontal and vertical stacks, and some of @polar kelp's custom layout cards

glossy anchor May 10, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

Thanks you both. reading 😃

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Just stacks and panel mode is a good start with no custom stuff.

silver crescent May 10, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

simple question: how do i get my camera feed to match the screen so i dont have to scroll? https://hastebin.com/ugeqiyohec.makefile

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Change the aspect ratio of the picture in the cameras settings?

#

But seriously, in panel mode the picture will be as wide as your screen and the height will follow along regardless.
Adjusting stuff to the height of the browser window is way harder than it should be.

elder pendant May 10, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

Can't you change the ratio in the card as well?

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

But you can limit the width of a card with layout-card.

#

You can change the aspect ratio of a few cards.

#

Actually... only the map card iirc...

#

Oh. And iframe

elder pendant May 10, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-entity/#aspect_ratio picture entity as well it would appear

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

Huh. What do you know. Neat!

#

There's your answer then, @silver crescent. It seems it should work with picture-glance too: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-glance/#aspect_ratio

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

I've searched a bit, but haven't found a concrete answer.
Do we have a solid solution for icon color in Lovelace based on state yet?

#

Custom_UI icon templates seem to work... but, at the same time, Custom_UI and Lovelace aren't supposed to play together. Plus, this functionality isn't working in the 0.93 beta.

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

In my opinion, card-modder is the best way, but I may be slightly biased.

#

There's no official way to color individual icons.

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

Not opposed to using a plug-in, since HA seems to be dropping the ball on this basic functionality.

#

Could you show a direct, icon-color-only example on the github page? That alone would probably push a bunch of people to use card-modder.

#

Even better would be a templated icon-color example. lol

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

The first example has a colored icon.

#

And you can mod individual rows in an entities card through the Lovelace Triality: https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Misc-tricks#cardelemententity-row-triality

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

I saw that example, but have no idea (yet) where "--paper-item-icon-color" comes from.

#

Looking at my HA page in the browser's inspector and I don't see that.

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

Yeah.... unfortunately it's getting harder and harder to find the variable names, because chrome - for some weird reason displays litElement styles as user agent stylesheet...

#

You can still find the variables in firefox, though... and I'm slowly trying to rename them all to something sensible and compile a list...

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

I think the main issue with HA is that many elements don't use the "--paper-item-icon-active-color" style at all.

#

So... I'm trying to template the icon color based on state.

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

Actually, anything using an icon at all should use that and/or --paper-item-icon-color.

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

Can the card-modder templates use logic? Don't see an example of that.

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

To an extent: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-useful-markdown-card#if

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

Feels like I'm using a backhoe to plant a seedling. lol

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

Actually, that readme is a bit outdated as well... <then> can also be an if now...

#

If you want more advanced stuff, making a custom card might actually be the way to go.

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

No offense meant. I use many of your plugins!
That's more of a dig at HA. Why they don't have Custom_UI-type stuff built-in is kinda weird.

#

The only thing I'm looking to do is change icon and icon color based on state, regardless of entity type.

#

Template sensors work for the icon itself, but not color.

#

Even that's silly... I have to create an extra layer over the entity to tweak the icon.

#

BOOM.

variables:
  - states['input_boolean.dummy'].state
entities:
  - input_boolean.dummy
card:
  type: 'custom:card-modder'
  style:
    '--paper-item-icon-color': "${vars[0] === 'on' ? '#fdd835' : '#2050a0'}"
  card:
    type: entities
    entities:
      - input_boolean.dummy```

prime topaz May 10, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

nice

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

Took far too much effort for icon color. lol

#

Now I get to remove Custom_UI and replicate this all over the place on my frontend.

#

Reference: https://github.com/custom-cards/config-template-card

polar kelp May 10, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

That would be '--paper-item-icon-color': [[ if(input_boolean.dummy == "on", '#fdd835', '#205010') ]] with just card-modder.

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:52 PM

Thought I had tried that... one sec.

Hi community! I have multiple 10" Samsung tablet mounted on my walls,, running Fully Kiosk with Home Assistant. I have a vertical stack card running 3 picture entities with live camera feed with cameras running in Blue Iris. My problem, scaling/resizing. When I reload the webpage, or refresh Lovelace, the cameras shows perfectly. But when time goes (minutes, hours) the camera pictures resizes. I want them to stay at the excact same point, same scaling, size, zoom level ++ as they are after reloading. I've tried using aspect_ratio 16x9 under each camera, that results in the picture height/width stay the same size, but the camera inside will zoom in when time goes. Aspect ratio 16:9 and without aspect ratio results in resizing the cards to adjust to the fit the whole camera picture. Is this a Blue Iris issue? This also happens in a webbrowser on my laptop. Can anyone please help? Thank you

vapid axle May 10, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

That's throwing an error for me.

#

It's yelling about a missing comma before the )

#

Even with the example I posted above, it's messy for multiple entities. You still have to stack a bunch of those awkward code blocks for. every. entity... 🤣

tacit cave May 11, 2019, 2:22 AM

@mild veldt think it would be possible to template an anchor with your template card?

For auto entities and/or Monster card. Can one use other custom cards rather than built in types, say custom:mini-media-player? I don't think so, but figured I'd check

polar kelp May 11, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

Only with auto-entities.

#

That’s actually the reason I made it...

But it only works with cards that has a parameter named entities:. NOT entity:

I would like to get my history_graph card to load faster - it takes a few minutes to show. I am using the default database. recorder: is configured with purge_keep_days: 7, the db file is around 1 gigabit in size (via remote NFS mount)

any low hanging fruit? keeping the db file local would probably help

is anyone here using compact-custom-header? I can't get it to work for me

@candid stump reload without cache

#

Also, make sure you add it as the last card in all views

candid stump May 11, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

@dark dirge the documentation doesn't say it need to be at the end of the view, but I just moved it there. Tried reloading with ?clear_cch_cache and still no result

#

it's pretty straightforward install so I don't know what I could be doing wrong...

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

Putting it at the end apparently fixes some spacing issues

candid stump May 11, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

just to sanity check, here's my yaml https://hastebin.com/obihijolix.bash

#

it's pretty simple as I just switched to lovelace last night and I'm still learning

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

looking at mine

vapid field May 11, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

is anyone else having issues with darksky sensors?

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

@candid stump is your path right?

#

my resource line looks like this:

#

  - type: module
    url: /customcards/github/maykar/compact-custom-header.js?track=true

#

/customcards is just a nocache version of /local, but make sure that it's pointing to where you installed it

#

should be in config/www/xxxx

candid stump May 11, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

it is correct, triple checked that... and the other custom card (mini graph) is working

#

what is track=true?

#

i intentionally made the path incorrect and it threw an error... so it's 100% seeing the .js

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

I have quotes around my type, like so:

#

      - clock_date: true
        clock_format: '12'
        main_config: true
        options: clock
        type: 'custom:compact-custom-header'
        voice: hide

#

track=true makes it check and autoupdate via custom_updater

candid stump May 11, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

hmm.. quotes didnt seem to matter

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

not sure then. I used the other installation method, but it looks the same except for the path

#

did you try this? http://192.168.1.42:8123/lovelace/0?clear_cch_cache (with appropriate substituation)

#

and guess by "not working", it's still showing the full-size header?

candid stump May 11, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

I did try that, and yeah still the full size header

#

I even just straight-up copy and pasted your example and saw it remove the voice option, but header is still full size

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

I think this part is going away in teh latest HA build, but maybe relevant:

You may need to have javascript_version: latest in your configuration.yaml under frontend:.

candid stump May 11, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

oh you know I had that set but commented it out due to an error

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

I think it'll do nothing in the upcoming 0.93 build

#

you copied the raw *.js files from github?

#

it's kinda working, so I suspect so

candid stump May 11, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

i did, yeah

#

js: latest is reenabled, i even restarted HA to be safe

dark dirge May 11, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

I would start looking at logs

#

and maybe temporarily cut the rest of ui-lovelace.yaml to just leave CCH

candid stump May 11, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

good idea.. just tried that. No cards show up, no errors, and still the fat header lol... even with ?clear_cch_cache

time to give up for now i think

hello from austria... i do have a camera, and in the picture-entity card i included to show a sensor (amount of alarms) - when i click on the cam i get the 'inner' card showing the count in a timeline. i do wanna have the live image instead... how can i change this?

this is the card:

show_name: true
type: picture-entity
show_state: true

yes, youre right. the sensor data is included - kinda overlay wich is fine. on a click i wanna pop up the livestream of the cam.

#

the sensor value comes in from mqtt, not from the cam itself. maybe important to know...

copied your snip to mine and changed the values - didnt work either.

an vertical stack instead?

or maybe the custom popup card could help you there

not even that... here is the (working) same cam on a other page, without the counter:

show_name: false

it works as expected and wanted.

Hi everyone. New here and new with HasIO. Am making a Lovelace panel and can't find how to make a Horizontal Stack with buttons that controlls lights. Am making a button thats going to switch on and off 3 lamps with one press. One lamp was no problem but multi i dont find how to :S

@analog hare you'd want to have a script that toggles the three lights and have a button that calls the script.

I have a strange error that has been growing. It started showing at my work computer (no issues on my home PC or mobile). But this morning my home PC was also seeing the same ugly GUI (mobile still working fine).
I have no errors in homeassistant.log and the yaml code for lovelace has no issues (can still change design without any errors etc).
I've tried multiple webbrowsers, cleared all history/cache and a couple of computers at each location.

https://ibb.co/zZ4nQYZ (imagebb.com link)

Any advice?

polar kelp May 13, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

Well... it’s a bit cramped, like you have everything in a single stack and forgot to set panel: true... But what’s ”ugly” is highly subjective, and we can’t read your mind.
Perhaps you could also tell us how it differs from your expectations?

wind tusk May 13, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

oh right 😃 hang on and you'll get the normal "state" of the gui

https://ibb.co/JrJHhz7 this is what it looks like from my mobile, and used to look like from a normal pc as well

Thomas do you have time to take this in PM to not spam this channel?

https://ibb.co/5L2Gm49 this happends if I set panel: true on that view, I've never used it because I never had any issues before (been running that design for 4-5 months at least

Has anyone come across a countdown card that you can have multiple dates with titles and have it show how many days until? I've search around and just want to check before I decide to build my own.

#

@wind tusk That's the custom button-card, right? Did you set show_name: false on all of them?

wind tusk May 13, 2019, 8:44 AM

#

It is, I'll check

#

@polar kelp not using show_name on any of my custom buttons

#

https://hastebin.com/utoxenaguy.bash

polar kelp May 13, 2019, 8:47 AM

#

That's probably your problem then. According to the documentation, default is true.

wind tusk May 13, 2019, 8:47 AM

#

(I tried it on the first one)

#

no difference when using it

#

But thats the strange part, it has worked for several months, the appearing as an issue at work, and now a week later also at home

#

If it would have been a code issue, or a recently updated custom-card, it should have been an issue before

polar kelp May 13, 2019, 8:54 AM

#

Sounds like caching. Your home computer might have had an older version of the script cached. Also, the default value seems kind of new.

wind tusk May 13, 2019, 8:56 AM

#

that could be it, doing some tests now

#

seems like I'll need to redo that page from scratch to find the issue, It wont accept any changes I do to it, nothing changes in the gui and there are no logs that I've done an incorrect config (using your yaml generator)

polar kelp May 13, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

I've had problems with that myself lately... make sure it actually runs. Check the output file that your changes have gone through.

wind tusk May 13, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

Looks like it's working now, I removed all code and added show_name: false to everything.

#

and now the generator works

#

next step to troubleshoot, the popup's aren't working, guessing I'll start to check if there are any updates recently

#

All good now, seems like everything had to do with updates on the custom-button card

#

Thanks for the assistance @polar kelp !

Hello guys, I developed a sensor component that fetches data from my water provider. Data is updated on daily basis and I have:

previous day consumption
last month and previous month daily consumptions
history of monthly consumption for the last 26 months
last year total consumption
this year to-date total consumption
Ideally, I'd display current month and last month with lines on the same graph, then yesterday consumption with numbers.
Is there any lovelace card you can recommend to display such information? A unique card would be great.
Thanks.

You can limit the number of columns to give each entry more space

Hey, I'm trying to setup a floorplan to show when diff lights are on / off. Does anyone know of some way I can do this conditionally, instead of overlapping images over certain sections of the main floorplan.

if (light1 == off && light2 == on && light 3 == off) show light 2 picture
if (light1 == on && light 2 == on && light 3 == off) show light 1 + 2 picture

And so on. Reason why is I have a single room, and rendering these images with specific lights on / off will require tons of photoshop due to all of the shadows from the lights. Here is a pic showing the complications https://imgur.com/a/x1Z1vnp

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

The first way that comes to mind is to have a bunch of cards, and use the conditional card: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/conditional/, but I don't think this is the most efficient way of doing it.

#

But maybe I'm not fully understanding.

#

Would this work? https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#conditional-element

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

So far I tried creating multiple renders with specific light on / off. But because of how shadows / reflections works It wouldn't be ideal for me to use the image portion of Picture Elements. (Due to how it overlays images over the original layout)

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

Let me take a look at that.

#

Looks like that one will work, ill give it a show. Never saw that element before.

#

*card

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:10 AM

#

My thought would be to use PNG with partial transparency on most of it.

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

Yeah, I was trying that but was ending up not looking how I wanted it to

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

Lame 😦

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

Also was giving me some issues with some over the overlayyed images being resizes for some odd reason. That conditional element seems like it will work

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

That rendering is awesome btw. What are you using to render it?

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

Sweet Home 3D. Was super easy to do, took me less than 2 hours first time touching the software.

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

Wow, I might have to do that tonight then!

#

Are you using free or paid?

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

Free

#

I think its 100% free open source

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

Based on what I'm reading, the paid version just comes with more images.

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

Only issue is there arn't THAT many assets. So you will end up with a bunch of genericish looking stuff.

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

"a paid version available on the Mac App Store, sandboxed, automatically updated and bundled with 1235 pieces of furniture and 418 textures."

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

However there are tons of furniture / material packs you can download.

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

"a free version available at SourceForge.net bundled with 100 pieces of furniture and 26 textures"

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

So by changing the material on the included objects you can get pretty close to what your stuff looks like.

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

Hah, big difference!

#

Nice.

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

Yeah, there are like 500ish peices of furniture and couple hundred materials so you can make things look "pretty" good but not exact

#

I think if you use solidworks or something you could import your own designs

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

I haven't touched SW in years >_>

#

I guess the first step is to get everything lain out, though.

#

So you're pretty much just going to go the route of rendering a bunch of images and show the correct image based on the current state collect of all entities?

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:22 AM

#

Yeah exactly.

#

I only have 3 lights, so combination of 8 images.

#

And i wanna show each one depending on current combination of lights

empty heath May 15, 2019, 2:24 AM

#

Ahh, that's not too bad then. 😃

kind sorrel May 15, 2019, 2:29 AM

#

Yeah, its only really needed if you have multiple lights in a room that cast shadows.

#

Looked really fake to have incomplete / broken shadows

#

I would have needed to be a PS god, which I suck at lol

#

Anyone know how I can change the original Image in Picture Elements? Whenever I try to add an image using the Type : Image. It seems like I cant shift the image to the right without it being automatically resized. (Some css property, tried to find it but no lucky)

#

Ah figured it out. Was some issue with transform: translate and the height / width of elements added to the picture element

#

@empty heath Thanks for the push in right direction btw, ended up getting it working!

empty heath May 15, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

Nice! Glad it worked out, man.

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

can anyone help me with comparing numbers in @mild veldt template card?

#

I have a variable, say vasr[10] and I want to check if it is a number 100000000

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

What are the numbers?

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

vars[10]

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

Link to the card?

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

(vars[10] =! 100000000 ? Number.parseInt(vars[10] /1000): 'Unlimited' ) is the bit having trouble with

#

getting link

#

https://github.com/custom-cards/config-template-card

#

I'm pretty sure the bit after the ? is right but it's the condition that is screwing me

#

tried using vars[10].equals(100000000) but nope

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

What is =!?

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

not equal to... but jinja doesn't work for java

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

No, "not equal to" is !=

#

Example: Java != Javascript

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

so if vars[10] equals 10000000 I want it to return Unlimites, else convert the Mb to Gb

#

gaa... lemme try that

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

Is vars[10] a string or an int?

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

it's an integer

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Ok, so then do this:

#

vars[10] === 10000000 ? 'Unlimited' : Math.floor(vars[10] / 1024)

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

${vars[10] < 10000000 ? (vars[10] / 1000).toFixed(2) : 'Unlimited'}

#

no me!

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

ok let me try that

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

Hah, what he said ^ (except with spaces surrounding the /)

#

Go @green ice go!

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

They were there

#

leave me alone

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

Well, they aren't now! 😛

#

I mean, the interpreter doesn't care, but I do. 😄

#

That's why YAML is so amazing: it cares.

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

well it initially was making 1000 fixed as well

#

soooo, there's that

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

I don't want 2 decimal places... only an int

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

Then Math.floor

#

${vars[10] < 10000000 ? Math.floor(vars[10] / 1000) : 'Unlimited'}

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

If you don't care about converting 99.99 GB to 99 GB.

#

Math.floor, Math.round, Math.ceil

#

pick your poison

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

Well, technically it would be floor because he said he wants an int.

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

ok mathfloor works

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

(In Javascript, "floats" [not a thing in JS] are converted to an int by dropping everything after the .)

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

(vars[10] < 100000000 ? Math.floor(vars[10] /1000) : 'Unlimited' + '\xa0' + 'GB')

#

but it's not putting the space GB on it now

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

@timid burrow You're missing a space (hex 20, dec 32) character after the /

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

it doesn't seem to care as it's showing the right value.... lemme change it....

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

Lol, as I stated before, the interpreter doesn't care, but I do. 😄

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

still missing the GB on the end

#

I fixed it lol

#

I care too actually

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

(serious now) try "\xa0" instead of '\xa0'

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

can't because it starts and ends with that

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Nvm, js doesn't care if it's ' or "

#

Ohhhh

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

name: "${'Total' + '\xa0'.repeat(19) + (((vars[2] +vars[3]) / 1E3).toFixed(2)) + '\xa0' + 'GB of' + '\xa0' + (vars[10] < 100000000 ? Math.floor(vars[10] / 1000) : 'Unlimited' + '\xa0' + 'GB')}"

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

PEMDAS

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

that is the full string

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

Right now it's wanting to add "nbsp GB" to "Unlimited"

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

Total 202.58 of 500

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

Gotta surround it with parenths

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

and I want

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

Well, just move the nbsp and GB to behind floor

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:25 AM

#

Total 202.58 of 500GB

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

name: "${'Total' + '\xa0'.repeat(19) + (((vars[2] + vars[3]) / 1E3).toFixed(2)) + '\xa0' + 'GB of' + '\xa0' + (vars[10] < 100000000 ? (Math.floor(vars[10] / 1000) + '\xa0' + 'GB') : 'Unlimited')}"

#

Unless you really want unlimited gee-bees. I know I do!

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

yes I do

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

Ugh, nbsp is so ugly in Javascript. 😂

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

didn't fix it

#

(vars[10] < 100000000 ? (Math.floor(vars[10] / 1000)) : 'Unlimited' + '\xa0' + 'GB')

#

same result

#

oh shit I think I need a closed btacket after unlimited

#

yeah instead of the one after GB

polar kelp May 15, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Nice remote, @empty heath

mild veldt May 15, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Whoever made this card is a dummy...this looks awful 😂

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

no shit! I'm just happy I can even DO it

#

thanks for the help @empty heath & @green ice

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

@timid burrow So you finally figured it out?

#

@polar kelp Thanks -- it'll probably rarely get used, but you know how I like to play with stuff. 😂

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

yep.... I just needed to move the close bracket

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

Just getting back from my hiatus, I needed something to play with, lol.

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

((vars[10] < 100000000 ? Math.floor(vars[10] /1000) : 'Unlimited') + '\xa0' + 'GB')

#

more parenthesis...

#

Otherwise it only puts Unlimited GB

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

@green ice He doesn't listen to us, don't worry 😉

#

I WANT UNLIMITED GEE-BEES!!!!!! WARE KAN I HAZ?!!!

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

um.... it's working

#

doesn't need extra wrapping

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

Sorry, my Discord is slow to update.

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:48 AM

Hey, I'm not always right. That's my girlfriend's job. 😂

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:48 AM

Also, going on 1 AM here

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:48 AM

@green ice That's because you no haz unlimited gee-beez

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:48 AM

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

so brain is about dead 😃

#

and I've got Fishwaldo engaged in #zwave-archived for an issue I've been having for months 😃

timid burrow May 15, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

we have unlimited gee-beez

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

Almost midnight here. Whereabouts are you located @green ice ?

green ice May 15, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

Charlotte, NC

empty heath May 15, 2019, 4:49 AM

Hi not sure if this is the right channel for my question:
Is it possible to display icons to the left and the right of the sliders for position and angle of a cover?
I'm always confused and icons would help a lot to see what the actual state is or in what direction I have to push the sliders 🙃

@green ice Charlotte here as well

empty heath May 15, 2019, 7:52 PM

#

I've looked over the Lovelace docs, Lovelace developer docs, and the source in home-assistant-polymer, but I still don't understand the difference between how module and js are handled internally. Could anyone shed some light on this?

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

it is not a home-assistant thing but a javascript thing

#

home-assistant just makes a script tag with either module or not

#

you should read up on javascript modules: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/modules

empty heath May 15, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

Both js and module are both loaded as script

#

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/3348405518301b20591acee87e32af8a5b4d67dd/src/common/dom/load_resource.ts#L41

#

And the default type for _load appears to be module (I don't know TS very well, though, so I could be mistaken): https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/3348405518301b20591acee87e32af8a5b4d67dd/src/common/dom/load_resource.ts#L7

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

<script type="module" src="module.js"></script> <script src="nomodule.js"></script>

polar kelp May 15, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

Modules are more isolated (can't use global variables the quite same way), and can use more modern js stuff, like import statements.

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/3348405518301b20591acee87e32af8a5b4d67dd/src/common/dom/load_resource.ts#L24

empty heath May 15, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

@winter hollow Does line 7 set module as the default value for type if it is not provided?

#

Or is that a schema?

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

thats for typescript

#

nothing to do with the code

#

as in, functionality

empty heath May 15, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

Ok, I think it makes more sense now then.

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

these are the functions that are called: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/dev/src/common/dom/load_resource.ts#L40-L43

#

here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/dev/src/panels/lovelace/hui-root.ts#L634-L656

empty heath May 15, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

Ok, so if the function definition were to be this (see below), then it would load both as modules, right?

const _load = (
  tag: "link" | "script" | "img",
  url: string,
  type?: "module" = "module"
) => {

#

The reason I was misunderstanding is because I thought "module" was the default if nothing was provided for type (in the case of loadJS())

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

no, the ? means it is optional, and the : "module" means module can be the only value

#

and yes, = "module" would set a default if not provided

#

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/home.html

empty heath May 15, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

Perfect, thank you for helping me understand!

winter hollow May 15, 2019, 8:26 PM

#

np!

Somebody meight know a weather forecast Wich I met could use with mini graph?

#

The next 12 hours would be nice.
Just imagine the graph with the different colors. And see right away how the temp LL be over the day

Will still lock for an opportunity to use mini graph ahain.
The colour options are too neat

polar kelp May 15, 2019, 8:54 PM

It's beautiful.
It's hard, though, to force the backend supporting it to present stuff in the future...

civic sedge May 15, 2019, 8:55 PM

Yes really.. thinking bout 8-12 template sensors.. or wait.. that's stupid too

prime topaz May 15, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

i have a light group defined. Can I show a glance card which shows the current state of all the lights in the light group?

#

basically i want it to treat the light group as an array of entities, and show all the individual lights

#

or an entities card

#

I'm afraid this can't be done the way light groups are implemented.
There's no way to find out which lights belong to the group from the frontend.

#

hmm

#

i guess not

gray kernel May 15, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

you can use the custom fold-entity-row card (well, it's not really a card but I'm not sure what you call it) to do something like this (but with the regular group component instead of a light group) https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-fold-entity-row#groups-will-populate-the-fold-automatically

prime topaz May 15, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

yeah, i think i have to change away from using a light group. it seems to not do what i need

#

that fold-entity-row custom card looks great. Thanks for mentioning that, @gray kernel

honest herald May 16, 2019, 12:20 AM

#

anyone know does custom: button-card support shell commands or do I need make a simple script?

gray kernel May 16, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

the button-card supports based on domain, not the particular details of the entity

#

your best bet is a command line switch it sounds like

fallen badge May 16, 2019, 8:58 AM

#

I'm trying to understand how to get a card in a card he he. So I have this custom slider entity card and I wan't to have that only showing in another entity card when a lamp is on. I just can't wrap my head around the code for that.

#

I want

This: https://hastebin.com/unaletiseh.bash

#

To be in this https://hastebin.com/yaboxebeha.sql

#

I'm probably doing it much harder than it needs top be, as always.

polar kelp May 16, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

Simplest possible configuration: ```yaml
type: entities
entities:

type: custom:slider-entity-row
entity: light.bed_light

#

Start from there. Make each part work by itself before trying to combine things.

tiny raptor May 16, 2019, 11:54 AM

Trying to figure out something,
I want to create a card that will show a sensor state + his history bar (same bar that show for sun.sun for example)
Can someone help me with that ?

dusky mist May 16, 2019, 2:57 PM

#

On a picture elements card, is there a way to change the icon of an entity depending on its state? I specifically want to change the colour of the icon depending on its state, I see there's a state-icon type, but for my light groups this doesn't change the colour of the icon when the group's state is 'on'

hi all, are this the right steps to revert back to lovelace yaml mode? : 1 , add lovelace yaml to config , 2 copy the lovelace raw config to the ui-lovelace.yaml file, 3 restart ?

elder pendant May 16, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

yup

calm rock May 16, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

ok, thanks , then the most difficult part , how to get the cards config with an order a human can understand .

polar kelp May 16, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

@dusky mist you can change color depending on state with card-modder

dusky mist May 16, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

Thanks, I'll take a look at that

wind tusk May 16, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

Trying to figure out a good way of presenting some power measurements with Current consumption and Current cost, and the history for latest hour, day, week etc. The sensors are working fine but I'm out of idéas on how to present it in the GUI in a good way
Do you guys have any idéas? Maybe you've done something yourself?
https://ibb.co/yy8jxNv

polar kelp May 16, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

A gauge, perhaps. Ticking up to some limit over the day.

wind tusk May 16, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

I've been down that road, on the dual-gauge card, but it's a bit to much. Was thinking of creating a template sensor that combines consumption with cost to cut down the number of sensors to half

#

maybe i'll give the custom-button a chance again, there might be possible to configure the sizes to be minimal

#

last time I tried it there wasn't as much configuration available as now regarding sizes

prime topaz May 16, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

it's also possible with the monster-card

#

whoops, ignore what i said. it was probably for something really old

wind tusk May 16, 2019, 4:28 PM

I'm still figuring out how to use discord

wind tusk May 16, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

aaw crap.. couldn't use - type: horizontal-stack within the items list of a custom:fold-entity-row card

#

that could have been nice

#

@polar kelp is this something you think could be doable? (worth adding as a feature request) https://ibb.co/47PyK7k

#

I can use button-card within the fold-entity-row, but not a horizontal stack

dusky mist May 16, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

Is it possible to nest an existing card (eg: horizontal-stack) into a lovelace custom card?

mild veldt May 16, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

@dusky mist yes

#

Check out my podcast-card https://github.com/custom-cards/podcast-card/blob/master/src/podcast-card.ts#L94

#

I'm should bring that function over to the custom-helper-functions

#

Are you writing a custom card then?

pliant eagle May 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

Do you guys know of a way to have unique state colored icons for Lovelace? I know CustomUI can do it but its not supported by lovelace. I need something that i can add to customize_glob, for example to make all motion detection sensors turn red on trigger

#

Also anyone figure out how to include mini media player in auto-entities / monster card? I can add it but i can't have them dynamically filter based on state

pliant eagle May 16, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Actually figured out the second part, for anyone who is interested

Thanks @pliant eagle i'm going to steal that. I can see needing that in my own setup

i just need to check out auto-entities

Do I change my colors and layout with CSS or themes? Or is it themes using CSS?

gray kernel May 17, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

layout using lovelace cards (native or custom)
colors (and drop shadows and fonts) using CSS custom properties

timid wigeon May 17, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

any link to an example of the custom properties?

#

thank you @gray kernel

gray kernel May 17, 2019, 4:02 AM

just about any theme e.x. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/clear-theme/100464

@mild veldt sorry, didn't see your response - I'm trying to add cards to a picture elements card, I think the way to do this is to wrap them in a custom card?

wheat current May 17, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

no need to wrap it, just refrence it as a custom element

#

- type: custom:hui-horizontal-stack-card or something like that

wheat current May 17, 2019, 12:24 PM

Is there a reason (other then no one has added it) that it's not documented?

#

nvm.. it's there, just not with an example

polar kelp May 17, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

Is it? Where?

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#custom-elements

polar kelp May 17, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

That's probably a typo, to be honest. Should say custom element

#

It works by accident, not by design. Documenting it makes it a feature which must be maintained.

wheat current May 17, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

Sooo you are saying it's a bug, not a feature? 😄

polar kelp May 17, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

For now it makes sense for all elements to have the same interface, but that may not be true forever.

#

Well... not a bug... more of a lucky coincidence.

#

But definitely not a feature

dusky mist May 17, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

Oh cool, thanks guys!

mild veldt May 17, 2019, 1:04 PM

@polar kelp I consider it a feature at this point 😉 I use it quite a lot

unkempt warren May 17, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

hello everyone, I just migrated from a Pi to a NUC and had to pull files over manually since the snapshot restore feature wasn't working. I mostly have things up and running by my lovelace config is off. I have two files: lovelace.yaml and ui-lovelace.yaml. The latter is the up-to-date version. How do I get my config to use that one instead of the lovelace.yaml?

wheat current May 17, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

AFAIK it will never use lovelace.yaml

unkempt warren May 17, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

hmm

#

my UI is not matching the ui-lovelace.yaml fule

#

file

#

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

mild veldt May 17, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

@unkempt warren if you weren't using yaml mode your file is stored in config/.storage/

mortal cape May 17, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

@unkempt warren "take control" then use the lovelace ui config editor and paste the contents of your ui-lovelace.yaml there. Then you can have ui editing and your old lovelace back.

unkempt warren May 17, 2019, 4:26 PM

Hello all. I added a couple MQTT switches but when I add those in the UI, instead of showing a switch it shows two on/off buttons (https://cl.ly/168a3cf1863d)
How can I make it a regular switch?

How do you uninstall custom cards?

Hi guys, need some advise on how to display pictures of the same height in lovelace (picture-entity), if four of my state images are of different resolutions. Is this possible?

elder pendant May 17, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

You can set the 'width' of the pictures to change the size see the https://demo.home-assistant.io example card as an example. You can then position the pictures left/right with 'top' and 'left'

#

I just realized you said picture-entity and not picture-elements 🤦

#

In the default card you can force the aspect ration, but the size is based on the actual resolution of the picture

empty rampart May 17, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

Thanks @elder pendant for the quick reply. Is there any custom card around that is able to do this?

elder pendant May 17, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-modder I believe it's possible with the card modder

#

Or you can use picture-elements as a workaround

empty rampart May 17, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

Yes, I have tried that (report_size), unfortunately, I am unable to get it to work. My images are all displaying different sizes.
I do need to use picture-entity in order to show different states.
On a separate note, my heartfelt thanks to @polar kelp. 80% of my custom cards are his! Thank you.

polar kelp May 17, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

Glad you like them!

#

That’s not what report_size is for. It’s for changing the size the layout engine thinks a card has, not what it actually has. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked since like .83 or so anyway...

#

Perhaps you can set height: 200px or something in styles: with card-modder.

Any clue as to what sets the size for the numbers in an input_select (as in time/date inputs)? I've looked here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/tree/master/src/components , but I am a bit clueless 😐 @polar kelp font doesn't work on popups for the numbers 🙅🏻

polar kelp May 17, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

Probably —paper-something-or-other. It’s a paper-listbox full of paper-items. I suggest googling their code and see what you can find.

atomic glacier May 17, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

hmm... I did find the value that sets the title size for popups/more-info (tested on Chrome) in case anyone else has the need , as I did "--app-toolbar-font-size": 1.25em will keep looking...

Hello everyone. Fiddling around with a custom card for the first time. How do I get my frontend to update with js code changes? I read on github something about I need to increment version number - url: /local/my-custom-card.js?v=1 for each code change? So change v=1 to v=2. Is that really the case?

wheat current May 17, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

yes and no

#

that is one way, the other is to run it without cache

#

what that number does is "force" the client to grab the new file

paper ledge May 17, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

aah, completely disable cache in Chrome? Cause I tried clearing cache and no dice.

dark dirge May 17, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

you can disable cache via dev tools (network tab) temporarily

polar kelp May 17, 2019, 8:14 PM

There's a pinned message in this channel about that.

paper ledge May 17, 2019, 8:17 PM

Yeah, sorry just found it. Also I was a bit impatient with the refresh. I was testing this through duckdns so there was a bit of delay. All good now thanks for your help!

Is there anyway to use lovelace to create light groups without showing them?

That does not make sense?
Lovelace is the UI (frontend) it's main purpose is to show things?

solid sage May 17, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Right but if i like to search and add lights to a group instead of writing the names it would be useful

wheat current May 17, 2019, 9:14 PM

Why group?
why not an entity card?

@polar kelp , I love your stuff. I'm trying to use the auto-entities card, and I think I've got everything installed correctly (but obviously don't). The card isn't showing up in the UI... is there a place I can look for errors?

#

I was trying this as a simple place to start:

#

      - type: custom:auto-entities
        card:
          type: entities
          title: Battery warning
        filter:

              attributes:
                battery: "<=100"
                source_type: gps

#

...I've got two phones that should be met by the above filter criteria. But I'm not sure how to debug this as I've got no messages at all.

Setup failed for resources: Integration not found.
Setup failed for title: Integration not found."

#

Could you guys give me a hint, what i am doing wrong?

You’re adding lovelace code to configure.yaml?

hi all, can someone suggest the best method to list the most recent events of a specific type on one of the lovelace pages? I have a "car" page using the automatic integration and I'm looking to show the 5 most recent events with timestamps that are reported by the integration. e.g. "Ignition ON - 5 minutes ago"

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

@vapid field Not for that card, but the browser log usually has the most interesting information.
Though custom cards is not a good place to start with Home Assistant. I'd suggest getting some experience with customizing the stock options of lovelace first.

#

@zenith umbra I think you should start with setting up a backend method of collecting that data first.

zenith umbra May 19, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

@polar kelp ; sure thing, backend method as in an automation that edits custom entities based on event data?

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Sounds reasonable.

#

Then a normal entities card could be a nice way of displaying it, or maybe
entity-attributes https://github.com/custom-cards/entity-attributes-card or
useful-markdown https://github.com/custom-cards/entity-attributes-card

zenith umbra May 19, 2019, 3:27 PM

Hi, i am trying to get an SV3C camera to work in a Lovelace card, I have got them working via the "onvif" platform with a 10 second update it seems

#

I want to use the generic platform to stream in HA if I click on one

#

I can get the stream to work in VLC using

#

rtsp://user:password@192.168.0.30:554/11

#

Using FTP to upload an image to the samba share of "share" under a folder called "images/Garden"

#

The still image is uploaded fine

#

This is the yaml I am using for the whole thing (can't see a still image, nor stream)

#

- platform: generic
  name: Front Door Stream
  stream_source: rtsp://user:password@192.168.0.30:554/11
  still_image_url: /share/images/Garden/Garden.jpg
  username: !secret ipcam_username
  password: !secret ipcam_password

mortal cape May 19, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

@mossy gale drop the username and password since you have it in the url

mossy gale May 19, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

yes was just thinking I shouldn't have left that in there

#

Do you think that path is correct to access files in the /share folder on Hass.io

mortal cape May 19, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

if the camera doesn't provide one I think you want to leave it null

mossy gale May 19, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

it doesnt provide one that I can find documentation for, hence the FTP still shot from Blue Iris

mortal cape May 19, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

You can use ffmpeg instead to get a preview image. I've been trying both ffmpeg and generic

#

  input: rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.29/live
  name: front view``` is what I use for a camera that doesn't have a still image

ah ok

does it open up into a window when u click it

how you got the setup for the picture-entity?

#

mine is like this

#

nowt happening when i click on it

@wheat current Hey. Have you seen the issue with custom cards that appear and disappear from the custom updater (tracker-card), as described here: (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-simple-thermostat-card/82659/131)
Any idea?

#

Experienced with both the simple-thermostat card and the banner-card from the same developer...

I will probably not use time troubleshooting that (if it where a blocking issue for all elements that would be different)

I am testing a custom card, and I paste the following in the Lovelace config:

- type: custom:banner-card
  background: "#EDE7B0"
  heading: "\U0001F6CB Living room"
  link: /lovelace/living_room
  entities:
    - light.fibaro_system_fgd212_dimmer_2_level
    - light.fibaro_system_fgd212_dimmer_2_level_3
    - sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_6

#

After restarting HA, it looks like this:

    cards:
      - - background: '#EDE7B0'
          entities:
            - light.fibaro_system_fgd212_dimmer_2_level
            - light.fibaro_system_fgd212_dimmer_2_level_3
            - sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_6
          heading: "\U0001F6CB Living room"
          link: /lovelace/living_room
          type: 'custom:banner-card'

#

I am also getting the following error:
No card type configured

Any ideas?

wheat current May 19, 2019, 8:32 PM

Where are you posting that?

fallow oak May 19, 2019, 8:35 PM

in "Configure UI" -> Raw Editor

And the above card config in "Configure UI" -> Card Configuration -> Manual Card

Just found this in the HA log, if it is of any help:

anyone get vertical-stack-in-card working with card modder?

having an odd issue. Adding card modder removes the bg color and i'm not adjusting that in card-modder

@fallow oak did you got the banner-cardto work, cant seem to figuer out what to set on the heading: "\U0001F6CB Living room"

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 9:35 PM

Yeah... so as it turns out it's possible to monkey patch ha-card to, say, add an icon to any card which has card_icon: mdi:something in their config... yep...

@outer pendant https://github.com/custom-cards/config-template-card

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

I got an odd problem. If I add card modder to the top vertical stack, it removes the transparency

          type: custom:vertical-stack-in-card
          cards:
            - type: 'custom:card-modder'
              style:
                --ha-card-background: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0)"
                --ha-card-box-shadow: 'none'
              card:
                type: markdown
                content: "Title"

#

removes transparency on the top vertical stack, all i'm adjusting is the radius. It's like it's combining the card-modders from the markdown and vertical stack on the vertical stack

#

        type: custom:card-modder
        style:
          border-radius: 20px
        card:
          type: custom:vertical-stack-in-card
          cards:
            - type: 'custom:card-modder'

                --ha-card-background: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0)"
                --ha-card-box-shadow: 'none'
              card:

@empty heath he's actually featured on the Lovelace demo page, but obviously he's changed it a lot since then 😃

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

Any ideas why

#

📎 unknown.png

fallow oak May 19, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

@prime umbra Yes.... The heading: is the title of the card. You can modify that to your liking. The \U0001F6CB is simply the emoji (icon) in front of the title...

prime umbra May 19, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

ahh cool thanks

umbral jasper May 19, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

I have an idea... not sure if its something already available or might be available in the future... but that lovelace works with multiple users... if you didn't specify mode: yaml it would just use the standard raw editor way, but if you specify the mode, then any user that didn't have a custom yaml file (i.e. [username]-ui-lovelace.yaml) would just use the main ui-lovelace.yaml file.

#

do you think this could be possible?

#

my intent is so that I can make difference lovelace interfaces for either tablets, spouse's device, or guest users who come on my network and I can give them a guest account to be able to control things.

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

It can also be used for advanced style changes.

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

@polar kelp you have any idea why the style is propigating upwards in my previous post? For card modder

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

With some different icons. Just to show it's not hard-coded.

📎 Skarmavbild_2019-05-20_kl._00.10.48.png

#

@tacit cave Not entirely sure, to be honest... but you can try adding recurse: false to the top card-modder.

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

no dice

#

thanks

#

I'll find another route I guess

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Does it work if you also make the background transparent for the top mod?

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Well, I can actually add the background color in and the shadow

#

using the card modder and setting those attributes to what they should be inheriting

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

To be honest, I've given up on trying to accommodate for vertical-stack-in-card. It keeps changing and breaking card-modder.

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

ah

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

I'd actually suggest you use an entities card instead...

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

Ok, how about this, do you know of an entities card that will let me 'create a title'?

#

entities row i mean

#

Yah, that's my work around

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

Especially since you modify the drop shadow manually anway.

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

I'm trying to create a title with a style associated with it essentially

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

Remember that you can put any card inside an entities card: https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Misc-tricks#cardelemententity-row-triality

#

Including card-modder

tacit cave May 19, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

yeah, that's what I'm doing. I was just wondering if you know of an hui title row card, not the full markdown card because it adds 16px padding that I can't mod out

#

unless I have the wrong padding style

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

Sorry, can't help you there.

#

You should try this, btw @mild veldt. It's really fun! You basically monkeypatch HaCard and replace customElements.get('ha-card').prototype.render and/or prototype.firstUpdated, fire ll-rebuild and have at it.

mild veldt May 19, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

What's this?

#

I can inject into render?

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

You can replace it

#

Or wrap it, I guess.

mild veldt May 19, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

Interesting

#

@polar kelp on the veritical stack in card front, isn't the answer to PR the card itself and not try to have card modder work around it?

polar kelp May 19, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

Yeah, I probably should.

#

I've been meaning to for ages, really

mild veldt May 19, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

You're too used to working freely from the outside 😂

#

Yeah. I've been thinking about taking a break from my cards and new ones and patching some annoyances I have with other cards

For the Lovelace conditional card, can you use weekday as a condition?

lament fulcrum May 20, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

Set up a sensor for weekday that turns on if it's a week day and have the conidtion be "sensor on"?

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/workday/

#

This might help

acoustic mural May 20, 2019, 12:30 AM

yeah, I think that's going to be my only option. I really wish there was a condition that just said - day: Sunday

@acoustic mural you could use the config-template-card to get that

tepid locust May 20, 2019, 2:10 AM

#

@acoustic mural I created a template sensor that displays the day of week, I have one for day month and year

#

using that you can fire automations on specific days

acoustic mural May 20, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

Good info. Thanks!

umbral jasper May 20, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

@acoustic mural you could create a sensor with the following

#

- platform: template
    sensors:
      day_of_week:
        friendly_name: "Day of the Week"
        value_template: >
          {{ ['Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'][now().weekday()] }}

gray kernel May 20, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

or just "{{ now().strftime('%A') }}" lol

#

don't forget to make it update with entity_id: [sensor.date] (and to have that sensor set up)

Hi, can I make the views menu as a hamburger style of menu? It would work much better as I have a big house and to many rooms to have the menu horizontal.

Or I guess having a sub views menu would be an option if its possible

#

Thoughts?

desert reef May 20, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

@polar kelp , yes but in trying to document my testing for you I found the problem and perhaps a minor bug? I was filtering for the non-existent attribute 'battery' (just like I posted) rather than 'battery_level'. When I do this, I get no error in Chrome or the logs, and the card doesn't show.

polar kelp May 20, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

Sounds correct. Attributes can be manually set by the user. There’s no eay of knowing if one should exist or not.

desert reef May 20, 2019, 6:54 AM

@polar kelp - Ok, well, it's working now anyway. Thanks for your work!

#

@mossy timber Yes, it is, but it's a bit involved.

mossy timber May 20, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

Ok ... any pointers where i could research further?

polar kelp May 20, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

The simplest way is to just have two conditionals in parallell, each displaying a different card depending on the state of the sensor.

mossy timber May 20, 2019, 7:00 AM

#

And turn them on and off.

#

Why didn't I think of that!

polar kelp May 20, 2019, 7:01 AM

#

You can also, actually, put a conditional card inside an entities card, but you'd have to do one conditional for each entity, and it quickly gets really messy.

mossy timber May 20, 2019, 7:01 AM

#

The first one seems simpler. Just put them in a vstack. Nice!

#

Will give that a shot. Thanks 😃

Hi, Is there a way to load a modified .js file instead of the .js that is in the HA docker? I want to modify the colors that are hard-coded into the home-assistant-polymer/src/components/entity/ha-chart-base.js to something I prefer.

#

the colors are coded in the static getColorGenerator(staticColors, startIndex) function

#

I just want to substitute my own hex values. Is there a card-modder that can do that? Is there a way to have the frontend load my version of the js file instead of the docker version? thanks.

on one of my picture-entity cards, where I have my entity: set to a light group, it doesn't switch from grayscale to color unless I refresh the page

#

all the other picture-entity cards work. except one...

#

doesn't work:

entity: light.living_room_lights
entities:
  - light.couch_lamp
  - light.front_lamp
  - binary_sensor.family_room_motion
  - media_player.living_room_speaker
image: /local/rooms/livingroom.png

  - media_player.bedroom_speaker
entity: light.bedroom
image: /local/rooms/bedroom.png
tap_action:
  action: more-info
title: Bedroom
type: picture-glance

#

light.living_room_lights is a light group with two mqtt lights in it

#

when I click on the picture it opens the card for light.living_room_lights and it shows as On but the image is still grayscale

#

refreshing the page or opening "configure UI" causes it to update correctly
