I'm trying to show some of my grafana dashboard into my homeassistant dashboard using lovelace iframe, but it wants me to login when going to that page... Anyone know the reason for this?

violet talon May 21, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

anyone have any ideas why using a light group as the entity for a picture-glance card would cause the grayscale/color shift to get out of sync when enabling/disabling the individual lights?

#

I can get it to a state where both lights off means color and one light on means grayscale

@polar kelp: I got it work now thank you. Is it possible to use the popup_card for a badge too?

brittle eagle May 21, 2019, 4:29 AM

Hello

#

Would there be a fix for the restart beeing not needed when using the packages setup in hass?

mild veldt May 21, 2019, 4:57 AM

#

wat?

#

@vapid field yes you can

polar kelp May 21, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

Anything that pops up a more-info dialog can use popup-card.

Anyone here done a point system for tasks in lovelace?

#

So I figured that you can use Home Assistant for more then just controlling my TV and my smart lights.
Me and my significant other discussed that we should implement a point system for the task we do at home.
Let's for example say that she hates doing the dishes so that would be 3 points for her, and I don't really care.. so 1 point for me.
I have a Nexus 7 hanging on the wall. Anyway to implement a menu with the different task that gives a person the desired point and sums all points up for each weak and then stores these in like a database?
How would you go about doing this? (maybe someone already did it? I tried searching but could not find anything)

polar kelp May 21, 2019, 8:16 AM

#

I'd probably do most of the work in appdaemon - setting up the lists and such, and then set up one input_boolean for each task (also from appdaemon). In lovelace, I'd add a card with auto-entities to display any input matching a certain pattern while it's not turned on.

#

But really, the frontend is the easy part here.

atomic glacier May 21, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

@polar kelp I know I can never surprise you as I always seem to do to myself...but I never realized that your state-switch card can actually switch two entire views 👀 Using layout card as the switch point, I managed to 'switch' 2 entirely different views based on users. Now my wife is finally happy when she logs in and can have her purple tinted cards with auto changing purple backgrounds....boy the little things that make people happy😜 Thanks! Yet again...

azure scarab May 21, 2019, 8:29 AM

Anyone know how I can pull an attribute from weather.dark_sky to a lovelace guage?

polar kelp May 21, 2019, 8:29 AM

That was actually how it all started - well almost. Here's the first published screenshot, showing state-switch switching a layout-card.

Thank you @polar kelp. I'll look into appdaemon. Im a total newbie so sorry for asking, but that is a part of the HA you are talking about?

Okay, found it. https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/ecosystem/appdaemon/

Oh.. it's python! Lovely!!

can I reduce the amount of columns?

i have a tablet where the UI is trying to fit 4 columns which gets a bit small

@polar kelp That's a really interesting idea! How does it work on mobile though?

polar kelp May 21, 2019, 1:46 PM

Should work...

#

@crimson fable https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card

crimson fable May 21, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

@polar kelp

could be a workaround. however, I only want these limits to apply on this one device :/

clever ore May 21, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

@crimson fable Might be able to get fancy with https://github.com/custom-cards/config-template-card or just use https://github.com/maykar/compact-custom-header to make per device views with the layout-card solution.

#

You can use CCH to hide/show a view for that device or you could make a variable in template-card that looks for a string in navigator.userAgent

crimson fable May 21, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

so no way to limit column count in stock?

clever ore May 21, 2019, 2:05 PM

no

what is my noob-mistake? 😉

in yaml mode i is working flawless

any particular reason you are indenting by like 11 spaces?

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?

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

What does the config look like? Do you have a state topic?

gloomy raven May 21, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

@elder pendant same error without 11 spaces ^^
https://www.imagebanana.com/s/1428/YLJxxECH.html

#

this was because of copy and paste out of a fully functional yaml file

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

It's only when you try to save that card?

gloomy raven May 21, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

yes

#

if i hit the save button the error occury

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

You copied the entire contents of your ui-lovelace.yaml file into your raw config? Or are you trying to do it one card at a time?

gloomy raven May 21, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

no, i copy the code in the screenshot from the yaml file into the ui-interface

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

So you are trying to do it one card at a time. Have you tried copying the entire contents into the raw config?

#

Please share the code itself instead of just a screenshot

Please use https://www.hastebin.com/ or https://paste.ubuntu.com/ to share code or logs.

I think you may have a trailing whitespace character or something after cards:

starting to make my first custom theme and running into frustrations, i am wondering if the weblinks are always forced to use primary-color ? I am doing a dark theme and wanted a dark header area, but it seems if I do that then I can't read any text. Only way to have visible text seems to set a bright primary-color so it sticks out, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a dark theme... Is there a workaround for this?

if I'm using custom_updater, can I use that folder for sending a push message and not having the image be cached?

I'm doing an html5 push notification of porch_latest.png, and while the image is updating, the push notification is showing the old image

atomic halo May 21, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

ok, the issue is, I have HA running in caravan im living in at moment, all working fine, just installed 3 float level switches in water tank, set as input booleans and working fine as entities in lovelave 75,50,25%, I would like to display as a gauge or image with blocks... any suggestions please what i should be researching ?

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

Input booleans? Like you are going to manually switch them in lovelace?

atomic halo May 21, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

no, just as input switches,

#

on or off input to show the current level in tank

#

sorry if im not explaining great

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Why would they not be binary sensors then?

atomic halo May 21, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

appologies, i had my terminology incorrect, they are binaries, at the moment, i just have the 3 entites in a card showing 25% on, 50% on and 75% off, indicating i have between 50 and 75% left in tank, i just would like to display it in a better graphical way

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

You can tie them together in a template sensor that shows the current level as a single percentage value

#

Then you can put it in a gauge card https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/gauge/

atomic halo May 21, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

spot on, thanks for the advise, readig up on template sensor now.. cheers

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

Let me know if you need help with the template

atomic halo May 21, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

much appreciated @elder pendant

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

And just as a preemptive solution to a problem I can see arising from this, if you haven't already I would set delay_on or delay_off (whichever one it is when the water level is low) to a minute or two so your sensors don't go crazy if you're moving

atomic halo May 21, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

nice pre-empt, but im static pitched and the tank is on paving slabs, so earth quake depending, i should be ok with delays..lol

elder pendant May 21, 2019, 9:17 PM

Oh, yup not necessary then haha

I use both mini graph and media and they are works fine.

Possibly, still new and it maybe the repository doesn't meet the requirements correctly. But it works really well so far

Is there a faster way to update lovelace chances other than restarting hassio?

wheat current May 22, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

F5

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

I'm in yaml mode.

does not matter, save file, F5 in browser

queen kestrel May 22, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

just installed hass.io and switched lovelace to yaml. imported the config from the default setup and now getting these cards :

#

"No state available for media_player.office"

#

its my roku devices that are all throwing it, i guess because they are off

#

i found this but not sure if im on the right track https://community.home-assistant.io/t/no-state-available-in-lovelace/60592

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

@wheat current it does seem to. A reload from the CLI doesn't even update it. Restarting is the only way to see my changes.

wheat current May 22, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

That is false

#

@queen kestrel your issue is not with Lovelace yaml or not; you have a state issue, check the entity

elder pendant May 22, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Do you not need to call reload core anymore to update frontend changes?

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Then is there a configuration I can check that may be causing this? It's running as a container and just updating some markdown cards.

wheat current May 22, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

That only reloads customize.yaml @elder pendant if you are using that for Lovelace you are doing something wrong

elder pendant May 22, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

Oh yeah, duh. My memory is failing me today

wheat current May 22, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

If you had a config issue restart would not help

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

@wheat current I'm using !include within ui-lovelace. That is the problem.

wheat current May 22, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

Really?

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

yes. Looks like since 0.83.1 !include requires a restart for updates.

#

That will make things messy.

wheat current May 22, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

That sounds strange

#

You are almost correct

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

0.84.1 😃

wheat current May 22, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

0.93.1 (This has been there from the start)

📎 SPOILER_refresh.gif

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 5:13 PM

#

It maybe limited to just Views

#

looking at this now: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues/2311

#

hmmmm... no idea yet. When using !include for views I require a restart however if I place the view within ui-lovelace I can see changes using F5.

polar kelp May 22, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

Reloading is iffy when there are !includes in the mix. Changes to the included files are not always noticed by the cache.

#

There are two ways to make sure it updates:

Touch ui-lovelace.yaml, i.e. open it and save it without changing anything
Use the refresh option behind the three dots in the top right corner

#

There is exactly one case when you need to restart Home Assistant to get a change to appear in lovelace, and that is when you create the www/ directory.

dreamy flint May 22, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

Is it possible to edit Card Configuration, while being in panel mode?

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Thanks @polar kelp that helps a lot. I did not have to use the refresh behind the three dots. Just touching ui-lovelace was needed for me.

polar kelp May 22, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Yeah. It's either one, not both.

hexed nymph May 22, 2019, 6:14 PM

CCould not add repo 'https://github.com/bramkragten/custom-ui/tree/master/weather-card' at this time, if the repo meet all requirements try again later.

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

Have not looked good at HACS but I believe every card should have its OWN repo?

#

My cards are all in the same repo

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

i see

#

will you make those changes?
or is there anyway to bypass that .... got to love your weather card 😃

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

I will check it tomorrow

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

thanks mate 😃

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

First I’m going to install HACS and check out the good work of @wheat current 😃

junior whale May 22, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

is there like a site which has a preview of all the lovelace cards out there?

wheat current May 22, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

That will never be possible

junior whale May 22, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

awww 😭

wheat current May 22, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

Wait

#

GitHub, they are all on GitHub, go search there 😄

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

You should make a curated list of cards that is included by default

wheat current May 22, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

There is one 😉

junior whale May 22, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

in theory, you could do a test and make a screenshot ;p

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

In theory every card builder should provide that screenshot

wheat current May 22, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

But in reality, every builder want to to it like he/she want to do it 😛

junior whale May 22, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

that indeed..

#

some don't even do the updater thingy

wheat current May 22, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

I get that

junior whale May 22, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

was that now ok again? the updater, i read once that it needed a redo etc

#

goes so fast these days ;p

wheat current May 22, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq0qQtDAOW0 https://custom-components.github.io/hacs/ is the redo 😉

junior whale May 22, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

well that looks a bit.. well how shall i call it..

#

awesome ! 😛

#

i do feel a small creepy feeling that at some point if you want to have like this super cool HA setup, you need to add repo's from all over the place since its growing so big. It is a good thing though, in the end you would just want the entity editor allowing you to "add" a new entity and it would say "this card is missing, would you like to download it?" 😃

wheat current May 22, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

All actions are done with web calls ("API-ish"), so that is actually doable 😛

inland swallow May 22, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

hey guys, I'm trying to achieve something similar to this in a picture glance: https://www.screencast.com/t/JoZhPldPcl

#

how would I go about this?

junior whale May 22, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

in the end, i see paulus trying to make it more generic with wizard and all for new users, while on the techie side it becomes more a "find your thing" it is always hard to keep both beginners and advanced happy

#

isn't that a cover?

inland swallow May 22, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

currently this is what I'm stuck with: https://www.screencast.com/t/VJJPeBVb (so I'd have a light, a heater switch and a cover)

#

yes, it is

junior whale May 22, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

nice house

inland swallow May 22, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

haha, thanks... unfortunately still a dummy for now 😃 still renovating

junior whale May 22, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

😃

#

Think you need to make a map instead

#

you could perhaps use a button-card and make small icons and a picture above it..

polar kelp May 22, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

@inland swallow You'd have to use picture-elements instead and add the bottom row manually.

inland swallow May 22, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

alright, thanks for the input

polar kelp May 22, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

There was an element for covers added very recently iirc.

inland swallow May 22, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

ahhh, excellent 😃 also, I stole that first screenshot from your custom slider card, so thanks for the nudge in the right direction 😄

polar kelp May 22, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

Alternatively, I suppose you could make a couple of template switches which activate the up/down/stop actions when pressed, and add them to the picture-glance...

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

@wheat current https://custom-components.github.io/hacs/#why-do-frontend-like-this-and-not-use-javascript-in-a-panel_custom Why didn't you ask for help? 😄

inland swallow May 22, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

That last one was actually what I was thinking too... I might give that one a try first

wheat current May 22, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

I'm probably the one that needs to support this by my self for a good while, it's not good trying to support something that you do not understand.
The way it is now, it messy, but I know where everthing is, and how it works 😛

#

I think you are the first one reading so far down 😛

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

haha true true, you should learn it and then do a rewrite in a couple of weeks 😛

wheat current May 22, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

weeks 😂 , probably more like years

winter hollow May 22, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

if you have questions @mild veldt can always help 😄

@wheat current Is there a process to update HACS or just a manual file copy, if so which files?

kind shellBOT May 22, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

Ludeeus is away for 4m 43s with a message :point_right: 💤

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

HACS looking good

#

@mild veldt wasnt able to set you radial-menu card in the HACS

#

it seems is complaining about
Expected file radial-menu.js not found in ['babel.config.js', 'rollup.config.js' - for custom-cards/radial-menu

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

@ember crow if there is an update available for hacs itself you just go to settings to update

ember crow May 22, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

hmm, running v1 and not showing any update, i can see 2.1 available in repo

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

From settings, try reload data

ember crow May 22, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

ignore, just reloaded data and there

#

gonna be one of those days i fear

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 10:22 PM

@prime umbra worked for me yesterday

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 10:23 PM

hmm when i try to add the link
Could not add repo 'https://github.com/custom-cards/radial-menu' at this time, if the repo meet all requirements try again later.

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

You can't add it as it's already in custom cards repo

#

It's in the store by default

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

ohh let me check

#

@mild veldt you sure radial is on store?

#

i see nothing there

ember crow May 22, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

i can see radial-menu in the store

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 10:28 PM

let me reload or restart

quaint tundra May 22, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

does anyone else have issues using a camera view as a card for a picture elements card?

brittle cypress May 22, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

Can you use !include or something like that in the raw config editor for lovelace?

prime umbra May 22, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

@ember crow for some reason cant see nothing lol, so strange 😃

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

@brittle cypress no

brittle cypress May 22, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Ah

#

I seem to be hitting a brick wall w/ Lovelace;

The visual editor is nice for 90% of things, I don't want to go to yaml mode
...but I need yaml for some views - it's becoming incredibly spaghetti to manage button card templates used by button cards that are created by JS from config-template-card

Is there a "split" mode? Raw yaml for complex views, the default visual lovelace view for most things?
Or some kind of toolchain to ease the complex yaml pain?

#

Right now I have a JS file that I edit, then paste into a yaml file, then paste that yaml file into the visual editor's yaml editor, then look to see if my change worked - if not, have to make a change in the JS file and start all over again :p

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

just go full yaml, it's not that much overhead.

#

at this point, i personally don't have any 'non-complex views'

#

also, learn anchors, they'll shorten your config

brittle cypress May 22, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

..gonna do it. Going full yaml

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

it's worth it. Once you go complex you can get anything you imagine

That's pretty stunning!

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

@mild veldt is it possible to modify your text-divider-row to make the lines transparent and the text left justified using card-modder?

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

That sounds like a label row

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

ya, is there such a card?

#

I half-assed looked

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

It's in core

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

huh, i couldn't find it in the list of entity-rows

#

is it in another location?

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#section

Home Assistant

Entities Card

Entities will be the most common type of card that will also be the most familiar to people using the standard interface. It groups items together very close to how groups used to do.

#

Section not label

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

Yeah, I'm using that but I coudn't figure out how to make the line invisible

#

i mean transparent

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

I haven't really played with card modder at all

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

yeah, it just has the ability to change colors. Hmm, that gave me an idea. I bet I can change the color that the line is using to transparent

mild veldt May 22, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

Or at least match your background

tacit cave May 22, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

yeah, thats transparent... hahah

#

I like flat UIs

#

I think it's using text color, so i'll try that or look at the code

#

yep var(--secondary-text-color);

can i use > or < in state_filter on a glance card? trying to show batteries under a certain %

or maybe change icon color based on %

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

No. But you can in auto-entities https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:21 AM

#

Could something in the HACS system affect the functions related to the more-info mechanics? Specifically popup and browser-commander functions? @polar kelp This is really weird...out of 32 other cards, nothing else is affected🤔 ...and of course my entire set up relies on those 2 plugins😐

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

Can't see how... Did you just hacs and nothing else?

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

yeah, weirder part is even tried to revert by reconfiguring those 2 files, paths and adding version numbers it still won't respond. Like they aren't even there. No errors anywhere that I can find...

#

Looks like I'll have to remember how to walk to the kitchen to make my coffee😂 ...I'll try to catch him in a bit...thanks

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 8:01 AM

Is it only the browser-commander popup that's not working, or is it popup-card too?

latent sail May 23, 2019, 8:35 AM

you can create tap_action toggles on entities in a glance card, yah?

each -switch needs to be treated as a -entity itself then?

horizontal stack?

radiant drum May 23, 2019, 8:58 AM

#

i think it needs to be done with individual config options per defined entity. Not sure how to do this.

wheat current May 23, 2019, 9:01 AM

#

Clone what you have, so you have two, place them in a horizontal stack card, then remove one entity from each, so they show different items

Question:
To use the live stream on lovelace, do i have to configure a "generic" camera, or i can use it with, maybe, a onvif one?

viral root May 23, 2019, 12:32 PM

how i put a card to full width?

using custom:list-card but the title of an entry is way too long

honest herald May 23, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

Iv just split up my lovelace config into seperate yaml per tab view, noticed it just update right away when I refresh the page after editing

Usually have to restart HA to get it to change

Yeah. Includes will do that to you.

honest herald May 23, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

oh really? Okay noted.

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

@polar kelp it's both. The popup when called from popup card only opens the 'more-info' for that entity and browser-commander doesn't respond either to popups or any regular functions, eg. navigate, popup.... @wheat current Could something in the HACS system affect the functions related to the more-info mechanics? Specifically popup and browser-commander functions? This is really weird...out of 32 other cards, nothing else is affected🤔 HACS created the folders for all the cards and most had the .js files in them(a few were empty, but I added them manually and they are working), not sure where to go from here to troubleshoot?

wheat current May 23, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

I really really doubt it.
but remove it (comment out it in config), restat, then user /local/* as the url

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

I did that as well. I moved the 2 plugins to the original file path and I even created a new path for the 2 files /config/www/lovelace-popup-card/popup-card.js, tried also adding different version #'s and the popup action still doesn't work... Have went through several restarts and all the usual fixes. I'll give it another go and see.

next aurora May 23, 2019, 4:12 PM

hey guys, can someone explain to me how a user is supposed to know the type to use when adding a card to lovelace?

what then ?

#

Ask the dev by opening an issue,

next aurora May 23, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

ok, but there is no way to determine it myself from within the js file ?

ivory salmon May 23, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Does UniFi have a card?

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Both of those probably works as js.

#

When in doubt try module. If you get errors try js and see if they change.

#

If a script starts with import it’s definitely module.

prime umbra May 23, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

@wheat current sense hacs creates is own file in storage, we no longer will need the storage filecustom_updater.cards correct?

#

was wondering also about the tracker card if will still work sense is available on store?
im guessing isnt working cause i have set it up and nothing shows , so reload data is our way to update things.....

low tide May 23, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

So I just installed hass.io instead of my old Hassbian installation method and was just using groups.yaml instead of a complex lovelace configuration. How can I get back to having everything just load and look like this: https://github.com/brianjking/hass-config/raw/master/images/home-assistant.gif?

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

@low tide Go to the states UI on the info page...should work and "complex lovelace configuration" ??? easy to convert and use ui-lovelace for faster UI refreshes/changes

elder pendant May 23, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

That will work for now, but you should start migrating to lovelace. States UI will be removed in the future

prime umbra May 23, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

@atomic glacier i can see browser commander and pop up card not working... i have 2 HA´s on, doesn't work in the one that has HACS, so i think it has to do with it....

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

@prime umbra yes, confirmed. I just reinstalled from a snapshot, installed HACS and only added those 2 cards + 2 to check and it broke the plugins...again @wheat current

low tide May 23, 2019, 7:08 PM

@atomic glacier @elder pendant Doesn't change anything for me anyway https://imgur.com/Qdq6bNd

😦

elder pendant May 23, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

🤷 that's how states looks. If you want it to look like what you have in your original picture you'll have to take a few minutes to convert to lovelace

prime umbra May 23, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

@atomic glacier are you using mini media player or mini graph cards?

#

@low tide that should take no time at all to convert to lovelace

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

nor a few others, I ended up with 34 in HACS and about 9 that wouldn't load

low tide May 23, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

@elder pendant using the ui-lovelace.yaml or using the UI configurator? Do I actually keep using a groups.yaml? if so, for what?

prime umbra May 23, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

ya same here, but i guess its expected sense its a new thing, ludeeus did a good job in coming up with hacs, looks very nice....

Groups are used for control now, not for UI. So if you had a group of lights that you want to control together

#

Lovelace cards are the equivalent of groups now as far as UI is concerned

low tide May 23, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

Ok, so I have two bulbs I group as office lights that turn on via a z-wave motion sensor

#

But can also turn on separately as well

elder pendant May 23, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

Right, that's the only thing groups are good for now

#

As far as UI is concerned groups don't affect the way things look

low tide May 23, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

ok so I need to add

lovelace:
  mode: yaml

#

to my configuration.yaml

#

and there's no way for me to automatically convert my groups.yaml to a ui-lovelace.yaml?

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

@low tide IDK if this is still around, but it literally took me 10 mins to be up and running in ui-lovelace YAML mode ```# This file was automatically generated by lovelace_migrate.py

python-lovelace```

#

it converts the groups to LL yaml

low tide May 23, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

most stuff isn't loading right now for some reason

#

like lifx, automations, etc

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

the main structure for the rest of your config stays the same. LL just displays the info for viewing

#

I would look at a few repos that are simple...(not mine), to get a few ideas

#

@prime umbra were you sucessfull trying to revert back from the breaks? I just reconfigured back the way it was and it stays broken. Going back to my snapshot and not trying to install those 2 in HACS for now. I'll wait until after issue is resolved

low tide May 23, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

@atomic glacier most of the configs I follow are far too complicated for what I need to get back to having work before I make things complicated

#

any suggestions?

prime umbra May 23, 2019, 7:28 PM

@atomic glacier i didnt try to revert back yet... might be a option hehe

#

@prime umbra everything in my set up now...50+ popups, couldn't make my coffee this morning, LOL

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 7:31 PM

@atomic glacier I installed hacs on my dev setup and popup-card still works...

prime umbra May 23, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

wont work here....

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

@polar kelp ...after I reverted back to my snapshot it went back to normal and then with only 4 plugins in HACS it went back to the regular more-info popup...strange, 2 were popup and B-C plugins...just strange

#

restarts, caches, different users...doesn't seem to phase it here...

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

Any luck with the debug option?

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

Also, do you have layout cards in your popups?

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

@polar kelp sorry, stepped away for a min. My first view(/lovelace/0 ) is a huge panel layout view with 5 different views contained within it which has 5 different users access, but the switching part isn't affecting it as when a restart is cycled I can keep the browser opened and still no pop up. I've done every different scenario that I could think of. 4 snapshot restores and every time same issue. Mobile, tablets and pc all the same result. Popups are all global except for B-C ones that are scripts. I reverted back for now, as my UI is useless without them

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

And it only happens when you install hacs? Do normal more-info dialogs work? Do you have sun: or default_config: in your hass config?

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

yes, just as soon as I install hacs it happens. Yes for sun and no for default_config

#

I use mostly dummie MQTT entities for popups

#

EDIT: as soon as I add the 2 plugins, this last time it happened as soon as I added hacs

polar kelp May 23, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

which plugins again?

atomic glacier May 23, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

popup and browser-commander

#

I sent PM with code if needed

#

not sure if this is lovelace specific, but does anyone know how to have automations in the main panel along with Overview Map, Logbook etc. I did create a new panel_iframe with config/automation , however, that still shows the left panel rather than the automations page. Any suggestion is highly appreciated

Example of one of the cameras config:

Does card modder support custom elements on a picture-elements card? I have a hui-image-element that I want to apply rounded corners to using the border-radius CSS property, I tried the following config but no dice:

#

                - type: custom:card-modder
                  style:
                    border-radius: 100%
                  card:
                    type: hui-image-element
                    entity: group.tracker_bob
                    state_image:
                      "home": /local/people/bob.jpg
                  style:
                    top: 15%
                    left: 25%

#

This error appears in the UI: Custom element doesn't exist: hui-hui-image-element-card

wheat current May 24, 2019, 12:34 PM

#

prefix it with custom:

dusky mist May 24, 2019, 12:35 PM

#

Oh nice

#

Thanks - it now shows, but I can't see the border-radius rule applied anywhere

#

I guess because there's no ha-card element

#

OK, got it using extra_styles

#

thanks!

polar kelp May 24, 2019, 1:03 PM

#

@dusky mist Try without card-modder

#

type: image
...
style:
  top: 15%
  left: 25%
  border-radius: 100%```

dusky mist May 24, 2019, 1:26 PM

#

@polar kelp That works as well, thanks

#

Although it seems like images are being absolutely positioned differently on my laptop vs my tablet, I guess due to the different resolutions? state-icon elements are correctly positioned on both though... Has anybody seen this before? The image element and the state-icon element are both absolutely positioned using %s

#

Ah wait, the icons are also slightly misaligned between screen resolutions, you just don't notice as much because they're smaller, but only when the view is set as a panel, otherwise they seem to match

atomic glacier May 24, 2019, 2:56 PM

#

@dusky mist Pixels and dpi affect the display with different devices. I would suggest designing the view for the intended device and then duplicating it and changing the screen resolution for each device intended to view it. Using https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card will make the task much easier as you can set the view by percentages or pixels as well as using F12 option where you can set the screen size you wish to display the layout you are creating. Hope that helps...

Did you run a config check?

short edge May 24, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

Can Lovelace handle image opacities in Picture Elements? I want to make the background a bit more transparent

elder pendant May 24, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Yes

#

style:
  opacity: 0.5

short edge May 24, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

Tried it. It didn't work for the background image

elder pendant May 24, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

Oh background image, sorry. I think you need a custom card for that. card-modder comes to mind

short edge May 24, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Tried that too. Because it's a picture elements card, it has to have a background even withing the modder. So it still doesn't work

elder pendant May 24, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

You can also do tricksy things like a blank background and overlay an image through an element

short edge May 24, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

And trying to use a transparent image just gets filled in with white

elder pendant May 24, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

Maybe card background is a theme based property. I'm not sure if you can change the background of just one card

#

What did you try with the card modder?

But it does not display the webcam image?

wheat current May 24, 2019, 6:27 PM

@brittle cypress you can wrap a the custom template card around your bar card to get the value you want

covert wharf May 24, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

Hey all, is it possible to have the buttons of a "mqtt cover" component use a hold action? I have a garage door sensor set up and ready, but i don't want it to open the door if I accidently click while swiping on my phone.

#

I tried this, but it didnt work

#

type: entities
title: Garage Doors
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
- cover.big_garage_door
  tap_action:
  action: none
  hold_action:
  action: toggle

#

I used that on a picture-entity, and it works great.

#

I could just show the status, and then use a picture entity of a garage door button or something. I just wondered if there's a way to make it work that way in a cover

brittle cypress May 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

@wheat current - You mean the config-template-card ?

wheat current May 24, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

yes

    min: 0
    max: sensor.disk1.attributes.fsSize
    attribute: fsFree
    unit_of_measurement: bytes
    direction: left

How would I wrap the max and I guess also attribute in a filesizeformat() type pipe?

mild veldt May 25, 2019, 2:04 AM

config-template-card

clever ore May 25, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

Create a template sensor (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/template/) with something like: value_template: {{ states('sensor.percentage') | round()}}

mild veldt May 25, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

"easy"

#

Subjective

#

I always mess up template sensors 😆

clever ore May 25, 2019, 2:05 AM

Really depends on why you need it rounded

I really ❤ config-template-card

#

Can't imagine my setup without it now

gentle tide May 25, 2019, 2:30 AM

#

I think noobs like me would benefit from a Lovelace Card ranking system. Something that makes it clear what the skillset should be of the user before they dive into the weeds.

mild veldt May 25, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

@gentle tide that would be highly subjective

gentle tide May 25, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

It wouldn't need to be if we outlined what level of knowledge each rank expects.

#

For example

#

If you were well versed in jinja, css, and json, chances are you are expert level.

#

but if you have no idea how to use a backtick in discord or on the forums, you are a beginner. (Of which I have been guilty)

#

There are ways of "de-subjectifying" anything.

atomic glacier May 25, 2019, 4:59 AM

#

Hmm...according to that ranking system... I rank as a beginner who knows what a backtick is 😜 cuz in my unschooled brain... jinja=sounds like a martial arts expert... json=sounds like the dude that lives around the corner...and I can barely even spell css, (I usually get the letters mixed up 🙅🏻 ) and I don't think I've ever been unsuccessful getting a plugin or card to work that someone in Discord or Forums hasn't been able to help with, but then again... if the docs aren't clear and explanatory, I do tend to skip it unless it's something I just gotta have 😉

hey, very new to lovelace and trying to set it up.

is it possible considering entities are loaded in the entity-filter, not glace?

polar kelp May 25, 2019, 12:05 PM

#

Yes. Just add the configuration to each entity as usual, but in entity-filter instead of in glance. There’s an example in the docs

deft hatch May 25, 2019, 12:34 PM

hey guys, total noob coming from openhab, I did a full install of latest hass on a brand new ubuntu installation. everything is working but I clicked the manual lovelace edit mode and now can not go back to auto mode which is fine, but some people are talking about a lovelace.YAML file, which I cant find anywhere in the config files, I was able to build some nice cards and would like to back up the UI but I cant find that lovelace.YAML file, and the configuration.yaml file will not back up the UI. I DID however find under .storage a file with no extension called lovelace that seems to correspond to things I create in LoveLace but its not in Yaml format and very difficult to edit raw, can someone explain the whole lovelace.YAML file and where could it be?

#

never mind, found https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/ 😄

but is it good practice to use YAML mode or stick with the file in .storage

#

is there a recommended resolution for floorplans on picture-elements cards? I'm doodling something in InkScape, and export to png, but I can't seem to get what I see on the front end to NOT require scrolling. I have panel=true on, so it would fill the browser window. But it seems it scales it up too much, all the time. Not matter what size I've exported from inkscape. Anyone seen this before? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

You might want to consider the new Floorplan custom card

Does anybody know how to nicely align an ha-icon within a mwc-button?

#

The result I have is as follows: https://imgur.com/a/rRulQDg

#

And the code: <mwc-button dense id='bell-everywhere'><ha-icon class="mdc-button__icon" icon="mdi:bell-ring-outline"></ha-icon></mwc-button>

Ideally, it would be within the red box

@gentle tide target .card-header (the whole header block) or .card-header .name (just the title text) in extra_styles

this is a hypothesis:
that's a glance card and you're trying to put an entity row in it; I don't think that works
will it show up if you switch to an entities card as opposed to glance?

Oh it does! Man thanks! I'm so stupid! Hahaha

gray kernel May 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

you're not. I can't think of an alternative that lets you do a slider in glance

I might do two conditional cards, one glance so that my 4 scenes get in line and one with the slider under. Im not sure

desert reef May 27, 2019, 5:01 AM

Ok, in case anyone's interested... I was able to get the person-glance card to work with the person component. I had previously set the person's (people?) up via the UI and that wasn't working for some reason. I set them up manually via yaml config and that worked. Except... For my wife it worked fine, and I have a person.wife that I can reference just fine; for myself, I ended up with a person.husband_2 with no sign of a person.husband to be found (so far).

HI, I am trying to use !includes to allow me to have separate YAML files for each view. I always get UNNAMED VIEW, is this because my included file is wrong or it can't find the file?

latent moss May 28, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

@livid oracle Isabella's config uses includes for each view, that is what helped me figure it out at first https://github.com/isabellaalstrom/HomeAssistantConfiguration/

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

@latent moss Ok thanks I will have a look, for what ever reason I can't get it working. Thanks I will let you know.

#

I am getting UNNAMED VIEW

latent moss May 28, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

yea it's a little bit tricky at first. My problem was that I had the spaces in my included files as well, so it was basically four spaces instead of two.

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

Well I just tried it and it still won't work, I just don't get it.

latent moss May 28, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

Basically your ui-lovelace.yaml file should look something like this;

title: Home
views:
  - !include lovelace/living_room.yaml

then your lovelace/living_room.yaml would look like this. Note how there's no dashes or indents in this included file, because that's already handled above.

title: Living Room
icon: 'mdi:sofa'
path: livingroom
cards:

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

lovelace is a folder in root of the config folder correct?

timid burrow May 28, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

no it's in .storage which is in the config folder

#

and lovelace is a file in there

latent moss May 28, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

here's a picture of how i have it set up, with my example, the /lovelace/ folder is in same location as ui-lovelace.yaml https://i.imgur.com/DNAVVpi.png

#

oh using yaml mode.... gotcha

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 2:54 AM

Ok perfect Sean that 's how I have it now.

#

I just need to figure out whats wrong in my include.

#

@timid burrow Yes correct I am in YAML mode.

latent moss May 28, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

its almost certainly a spacing / dash problem tho.. it's a little tricky at first to wrap your head around

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

Got it!!!! Works now!

#

man you are right it was all spacing

#

Thanks so much!!

latent moss May 28, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

No problem

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

I have a lot of space deleting to do LOL

latent moss May 28, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

heh yeah it can be a little time consuming transitioning it at first, but once you do it's much easier to find things rather than scrolling through a 20,000 line ui-lovelace.yaml file like I was doing

#

on visual studio code you can delete the spaces by highlighting it all and then shift + tab i think it is.

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 3:07 AM

Ahhhhh Ok let me try that

#

perfect that will save time

@livid oracle this is for compact-custom-header stuff i assume? i haven't used that card yet, and also don't really know much css stuff, so i'm afraid i can't help much in this area..

livid oracle May 28, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

Nope, this is for a bunch of button stuff I was working on.

Hi all, having a hold_action issue with a picture-elements card. The entity for my picture is not the same entity that is controlled by the picture. Now to call a service that's easy, I can just give the card an "entity", which is used to select the correct picture and then in the action I use a service-call, where you can select service_data, thereby controlling a different entity. But on hold_action, I would like to get more-info on the second entity that is controlled by clicking the picture and not the entity that controls the state of the picture. But for the more-info action, you cannot add a "service" or "service_data". Is there any way around this?

polar kelp May 28, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

@candid iron What changed and what does the log file say?

#

@wooden latch I have one possible solution, but it's quite involved and requires two custom lovelace plugins.

#

Perhaps you could overlay the entire background with a transparent image element which is connected to the second entity?

wooden latch May 28, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

@polar kelp It's for an open plan area of my floorplan, I'm creating a fade of a dark mask over the rooms to distinguish between different light being on. Already created the required 6 images for all the light states with their respective gradient fades and a sensor template to check what combination of lights are on.... So might as well try more custom plugins 😃

#

But the problem is that the template sensor which controls which picture elements to show is not the same entity that I want to control when I click on a room

polar kelp May 28, 2019, 12:23 PM

#

Then you can open a custom more-info dialog using popup-card, and replace it with the more-info dialog of whatever entity you want using more-info-card https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/My-Lovelace-Plugins

wooden latch May 28, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

@polar kelp awesome thx

polar kelp May 28, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

Though I'd probably go with the transparent image instead. That just works ™

wooden latch May 28, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

No I did that, but the problem is that it's an open plan area (dining room + lounge), so if I do two transparent images, you can only control the top one

polar kelp May 28, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

I don't get it. You have an image with is controlled by A, and when you click it you wish it to change B, and on hold you wish to show more-info for B?

wooden latch May 28, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

Exactly correct

#

Then maybe I don't understand your solution

#

Sorry

polar kelp May 28, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

Make one image element controlled by A, and then another image element with entity: B and a transparent picture which exactly overlays the area you want clickable.

#

It's ok that you can only control the top one, because that's the point.

wooden latch May 28, 2019, 12:33 PM

#

You genius

#

Thank you

#

How do I make the transparent one to be on top? Will it be the first or last image element?

polar kelp May 28, 2019, 12:35 PM

#

last

But not built in, no.

Anyone know whether I can leverage Repeating Cards in Popup-Card by configuring entities to use the same popup_card config with <entity id 1>: <entity id 2>: <entity id 3>: <entity id 4>: <entity id 5>: <entity id 6>:...? I really don't want to create multiple entries in my lovelace file for the exact same popup.

atomic glacier May 29, 2019, 6:52 AM

#

@gentle tide you can use popups globally and reuse the same entity to call the popup in multiple places. The only time I repeat a popup is if I need the same one for different size screens and I just can't get it to fit right...or if I want to call it up with a script, but that's just preference.

#

I have around 50 or so in my set up currently, https://github.com/Dino-Tech/Home-Assistant-Main if you need some ideas, not finished with repo yet, but good enough to see the structure

gentle tide May 29, 2019, 6:55 AM

#

Right, I understand the global part. But where I get fuzzy is having to declare a popup for each and every entity that I want to use one. That's quite a bit of work.

#

Would be nice if I could just configure "This Group" or "This Domain" should use the pop up.

In the docs (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/stream/#streaming-in-lovelace) it mentions "stream ready camera". Does this depend on the camera or that stream is set up using that camera?

Home Assistant

Stream

Instructions on how to integrate live streams within Home Assistant.

gray kernel May 29, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

It means the camera has a working live view

#

One way for that to happen is for it to be a stream-driven (RTSP) camera. Another is for it to be an MJPEG or generic camera with a live view URL. Or for a component-created camera to work like one of those

If I've generated lovelace settings in the UI, can I still create and put something in ui-lovelace.yaml?

#

Looking at installing https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-mini-media-player/68459 but it says put stuff in the yaml.

Thought I read somewhere it was one or the other (UI vs yaml) when it came to lovelace config

latent moss May 30, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

@fierce musk in the top right (3 dots) there should be an option for "Raw Config Editor" or something like that. You can place the stuff in there, that's the equivalent of the ui-lovelace.yaml when using UI mode.

ahh wonderful, thankyou. found the docs about importing from that into your own ui-lovelace but didn't want to lose the UI editing part if I didn't have to, as I'm still dicking around with the setup

Hi there, I have a hopefully easy-to-solve problem.. I am trying to set a specific color on an icon based on an sensor value, I did that in the sensor itself but I cannot use icon_color nor rgb_color (the sensor is in a template itself), so I opted for the customize for that sensor with a template and icon_color (tried also rgb_color), but I cannot make it work. I did quite a few threads on the community forum, but beside for what I already test, there was nothing that actually helped out.

#

Has anyone managed to have working custom icon color per-state in lovelace? Would mind share a piece of config I can get inspiration from? 😃

pallid lance May 30, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

I guess its stupid question but i'm looking for a graph to see when switch was on and for how long, can find how to make it, anyone care to show me some settings and sample?
I have influxdb on my hassio will that help?

split granite May 30, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/history-graph/?

#

Obviously you can do stuff in Grafana or others using Influxdb too

pallid lance May 30, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

@split granite that history graph is not really good as some times switch is on for few min and it hard to pinpoint it to see for how long.
I'm not sure how to use grafana, have any suggestions? I guess ill go and do some reading about it.
Thought maybe have something easier😃

#

Tks

split granite May 30, 2019, 9:31 AM

#

Well, the problem is - what do you want?

#

Do you want a pretty graph, a count of how often it was on, or how long it's been on for or...

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/history_stats/ is another option, but it's not a pretty graph

sacred quarry May 30, 2019, 9:37 AM

@split granite do you know if there is a way to customize icon color in lovelace?

If you were to search the post history here you'll get a lot of knowledge 😉

But all the searches refer to ppl who or have the problem, or are using custom ui

I would like to see few reports.

In the last 24h how long was it on in total, min or Hours.
to see in a graph that times it was on from to for each time it was turned on also in the last 24 hours.
I'm sure something like this exsite,

Then you want two things, and the two components I linked to

strange sundial May 30, 2019, 4:42 PM

Maybe a stupid question, but now with lovelace running as default, is it OK to remove old configs for groups etc.?

elder pendant May 30, 2019, 4:43 PM

If you don't use them for control, sure

strange sundial May 30, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

Control for what? Is there a good use case for them still?

elder pendant May 30, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

If you want to control a group of entities as one entity. Turning on all outside lights together for example

#

Areas are meant to be the replacement in the future, but they are still in their infancy at the moment

Hi everyone, I'm basically doing this blindly, with no previous experience. but I have Hassio running on docker in a ubuntu machine. I'm trying to set up custom cards, but my directory is not "config/www/" but instead "usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/www/"

#

no custom cards are loaded/installed

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:44 AM

#

/config/www refers to the location inside the container

#

What you're referring to is from the host, which is quite different

subtle scarab May 31, 2019, 6:44 AM

#

ah

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:44 AM

#

Once you create that folder though you have to restart Home Assistant - have you done that?
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/http#hosting-files

subtle scarab May 31, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

I obviously have no idea how to deal with containers yet. day 1 and I feel like my brain is catching on fire

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

If you're running on Docker, as you are, then it's worth taking the time to understand Docker - or you're in for a lot of pain

subtle scarab May 31, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

looks like it, yeah

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

It's also worth noting that you're not running Hassio on docker - Hass.io uses Docker

#

It's actually a collection of containers

#

(see the pinned images in #330990055533576204 )

subtle scarab May 31, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

ah yeah, i actually understood that..just badly worded it

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

Lots of people don't understand that, like lots of people don't realise that Hass.io isn't Home Assistant, but an installer for it - resulting in lots of us jumping on those things to reduce confusion later 😃

subtle scarab May 31, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

I'm loving the speed increase in comparison to my RPi, but it's definitely going to have a larger learning curve it seems

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:50 AM

Most of it will be the same, particularly if you don't use the physical console but use one of the SSH add-ons (either core, or the Terminal one from the community)

subtle scarab May 31, 2019, 6:53 AM

#

well, I'll just have to bite the bullet and do some docker reading

#

thanks for clarifying stuff

split granite May 31, 2019, 6:53 AM

#

No worries

wheat current May 31, 2019, 6:55 AM

#

If you manually change things on the host under /usr/share/hassio/ you can get premission issues, it's better to use one of the addons to manage your files.

I'm writing my ui-lovelace.yaml file and i'm wondering if there is a way to have defines like in C/C++
I'm using a specific color for a lot of graph color: "#3b74f9" and if i need to change it i need to do it for all. Is there a way to have something like color: MY_CUSTOM_COLOR where MY_CUSTOM_COLOR is defined somewhere in the yaml file

wheat current May 31, 2019, 12:55 PM

#

I think there is a custom card for that

#

if not, you can always use anchors

steady jolt May 31, 2019, 12:55 PM

So it won't be supported by the yaml syntax itself ?

ok i'll look into it thanks

@steady jolt , thanks but how can I template into a lovelace card call?

wheat current May 31, 2019, 1:08 PM

Structuring / parsing data is a job for the backend (HA), not frontent (lovelace)

wheat current May 31, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

if you are using https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/weather-forecast/ to display it, it's tied to a weather platfrom, an you can not change that.

gray flint May 31, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

@wheat current that's what I'm using... hence I'm not sure why I'm getting the decimal extension. Perhaps its how the Weather platform gets set up... I did not see there is any decimal/accuracy settings for darksky

wheat current May 31, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

AFAIK that's how it works, you can look at the values under states to confirm

gray flint May 31, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

yep, you're right, values under states are loading with decimal extensions. Any idea how to format the weather platform for darksky to not go to this level of accuracy?

is there any lovelace cards that are just "display" what is being played on a specific device ? Like show what is being played on a chromecast device, but not control it, and show what I'm playing on spotify but again not control it

latent moss Jun 1, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

@slow wave just create a template sensor for it and display in an entities card? Like this: {{ states.media_player.seans_apple_tv.attributes.media_title }}

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

That will just display the actual track name right @latent moss ? I was wondering if the media player component could be used, just without the controls perhaps 🤔 because it is nice to see the art + name of stuff

latent moss Jun 1, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

yeah it just displays the current playing as text. you can do what you want with the mini-media-player custom card

here: https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player there are lots of customization options to hide the volume, controls, etc.

happens on all views except the default_view

prime umbra Jun 1, 2019, 7:04 PM

you have to put the custom card in all views @slow wave

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 7:04 PM

I thought if i did main_config: true it was on all cards, or did I misread the docs ? 🤔

prime umbra Jun 1, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

hmm now you making a good question

#

but having a card in all views then is ok
all it needs is type: 'custom:compact-custom-header'

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

yeah, that fixed it @prime umbra 🤣

clever ore Jun 1, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

Since it is required for this card to be placed on each view, caching is used so that you only need to configure the card in the first view.

Set the compact-custom-header card in the first Lovelace view as "main config" by using main_config: true or by using the toggle in the editor. Then set all of your config in the first (main_config) view.

#

Should that be worded differently? A fair few people seem to have issues with it

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

Now that I read it two more times I understand it

#

but the first readthrough I though it was just needed in the default_view

#

Maybe be more strict in the wording like This card is REQUIRED to be in ALL views, the config part itself is done in the default view if you specify the main_config: true or something like that

polar kelp Jun 1, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

@clever ore we should fix that some day.

prime umbra Jun 1, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

hehe

polar kelp Jun 1, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

Ideally, I think cch should just be added to resources, and then you should be able to add config options directly to the views you want to modify - no card needed.

#

It’s a breaking change, though...

clever ore Jun 1, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

I'm into the idea. Having a editor UI is nice though. Once upon a time CCH was configured in a card and everything was inserted as a script into head, but things got....complicated after that heh

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

I have seen the need to start to use it because me and my wife check stuff on mobile phone sometimes, and I have actually optimized my view to the landscape tablet on my fridge

#

and it creates a mess 🤣

#

I like CCH because I don't have wasted screen space at the top 😛

clever ore Jun 1, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

How would config be handled if it was just a resource though? Seperate config file?

polar kelp Jun 1, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

I’m sure there are wayd to solve that too, a special config card, or just adding a config button to the header while in edit mode...

split granite Jun 1, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

Makes my lovelace floorplan card fit nicely too 😄

clever ore Jun 1, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

oooohhh, I like the config button idea

#

I already add options to the overflow menu, could just throw it in there

polar kelp Jun 1, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

Makes perfect sense.

#

You can find whether you’re in edit mode from the lovelace object.

clever ore Jun 1, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

I already do that too, that's how I hide the card unless in edit mode

#

But I'm getting it from root.querySelector("app-toolbar").className == "edit-mode"

polar kelp Jun 1, 2019, 7:27 PM

I think you could do lots of amazing stuff with the goodies hidden here

Oh for sure, I've looked at it quite a few times. Just been too lazy/busy to incorporate it. Pretty much all my projects would benefit from card-tools

It's not a typical request, and could risk people bringing their system to a crawl I suspect

#

is it possible to have two monstercards side by side in a horizontal stack ? 🤔

#

I see no reason why not, but whatever I do I see only one of them :p

#

Try auto entity card instead

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

🤔 I'll try 🤔

slow wave Jun 1, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

Can't find card-tools even though I have the entry in resources and the file in /config/www

#

strange

#

doh... I couldn't see the trees for the forest, I didn't notice card-tools and card-modder

#

Still only shows the last one @wheat current 😛 https://hastebin.com/govawakevo.bash

is there something magical I need to do to get swipe to work in CCH ? I should just add swipe: true under main_config: true ?

#

how do i show attributes of a fan.* device in lovelace?

#

Or is that not yet possible?

@mossy timber https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-fan-control-entity-row-split-from-the-other-topics/102952

#

Or was it something else?

mossy timber Jun 2, 2019, 6:34 AM

#

That might work but I'm not venturing into custom cards for the moment 😃

#

I'm writing a wrapper template sensor to pull the attributes out

#

- platform: template
  sensors:
    bedroom_xiaomi_rh: 
      value_template: '{{ states.bedroom_airpurifier.attributes.humidity|int }}'
      friendly_name: Bedroom humidity
      unit_of_measurement: '%'```

#

lets hope that works

#

oh nice, my first highlighted quote 😃

#

so the device is fan.bedroom_airpurifier ... would that states.* work?

#

Nope, needs the fan in there too! 😃

slow wave Jun 2, 2019, 6:43 AM

#

If it works in templates it will probably work, but we will probably be yelled at for making it sub optimal 😛

mossy timber Jun 2, 2019, 6:44 AM

#

I'm trying to obtain data, rather than control the device

slow wave Jun 2, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

Yes, figured as much from the code above, and it is the right way to go

#

The use a glance card in Lovelace to display it perhaps?

mossy timber Jun 2, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

glance displays only a single stat, doesnt it?

slow wave Jun 2, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

You can have multiple sensors in a single glance card

mossy timber Jun 2, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

I'll have to have a look at it. I use entities cards for the most part. I'm still trying to figure out how i want to organise my information, and I'm still building out the whole HA setup. I figure I'll prettify it later 😃

mossy timber Jun 2, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

ah yes. not a fan of that view 😃

#

I like the entities cards more 😃

#

I wonder if this thing uses the American or the Chinese method for calculating AQI ...

#

Probably chinese 😃

slow wave Jun 2, 2019, 6:50 AM

#

Both are lies anyway right? 😛

mossy timber Jun 2, 2019, 6:50 AM

#

yeah but the chinese one is more blatant 😃

#

its basically "US - 150"

#

😃

#

or something stupid like that

#

  sensors:
    bedroom_xiaomi_state: 
      value_template: >
        {% if states.fan.bedroom_airpurifier.attributes.motor_speed | int = 0 %}
          Idle
        {% else %}
          Saving your life
        {% endif %}

#

that should work, right?

#

nope
