samba addon?
civic sedge
ssh curl or weget would be also easyer
unreal wind
okay ill write those down and check it out tomorrow. im pretty beat its late. thank you so much you HA god
civic sedge
lol that was just a little newbie help
just help the others when youre into it later 😉
frigid mortar
can you display multiple custom elements (namely custom:mini-media-player) under one big card?
frigid mortar
vertical stack works better for me, thank you anyway for pointing in the right direction
civic sedge
oh yea - mixed it up
almost everybody forgets the official cards 🤣
atomic glacier
@polar kelp I tried to install it late last night and it gave a persistent notification that it failed to setup.
polar kelp
From hacs?
atomic glacier
Also, The correction for the popups worked with a few changes, but anywhere I used auto-entities in a popup, it did not display. The card would show, but it would not populate
no manual
haven't checked HACS, yet. Should I install from there? before I reboot?
polar kelp
OOOOoooh! I see what's happening...
I get that error too... just didn't notice 😊
It still works, though.
atomic glacier
Ahh...never checked because I thought it didn't LOL
polar kelp
There we go. Fixed
atomic glacier
Just looking over the updated readme for changes. 😬 Stop lovelace_gen from breaking all the yaml which is not in lovelace... Glad you tagged me sir...
polar kelp
It didn't break the yaml itself, really... just the parser
civic sedge
wwhat is it..?
polar kelp
lovelace_gen https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-lovelace_gen
atomic glacier
new lovelace_gen component
civic sedge
that looks fun - ll save at least 400 lines in my floorplam
atomic glacier
@polar kelp I tried wrapping the auto-entities popup in an entities card but this is all I got...https://imgur.com/a/IursQYu was just showing the background and nothing else before
...still haven't figured out the mysterious app-toolbar color change yet🤔
atomic glacier
that's what I tried on that one. Gotta leave for work, I'll test a few more things and see what happens tonight and let you know. Thanks!
hot gyro
hey gyuys is there na issue with lovelace and mdi icons that carry a hyphen ?
eg I try to use icon: 'mdi:coach-lamp' which doesnt work if I replace it with speaker it does
hmm odd - spotlight-beam works
hot gyro
I know the hyphen is in the name but it doesnt seem to be the hyphen either
it seems to be that icon, others with hyphen (-) work
polar kelp
Umm... was that added to the set yesterday?
hot gyro
not sure where to find the history of the icons tbh
polar kelp
Seems it was nine days ago...
Anyway, the author has a special Home Assistant collection: https://github.com/hulkhaugen/hass-bha-icons
You can try that, or wait for 0.97 or 0.98 or so.
hot gyro
aah ok didnt know the icons were actually part of the distribution
thanks - will give that a go
frigid mortar
whats the easiest way to add whitespace/a separator between entities in a type:entities card?
polar kelp
A divider
frigid mortar
cool, but i'm not able to style it
- type: divider
style: 'height: 1px, background-color: red'```that just doesnt show anything
polar kelp
semicolon, not comma
polar kelp
@atomic glacier I just released a new version of browser_mod. It'll probably help with the scrollable popups.
Don't use height: 100%. That messes things up. Just width: 100%, margin: 0 and box sizing.
strong falcon
does anyone have any examples of cards they use for water/leak sensors? Looking for ideas
clear reef
@mild veldt thank you for the explanation. Perhaps I just need some guidance to learn the hassio system. I work in IoT were we collect data from a customer's BAS system then run that data through a MQTT broker then on to an analytics system. I was trying to do the same thing for my house. Where would one go to view docs on this system from a Noob point of view?
mild veldt
On analytics or the frontend display of data?
vernal gazelle
@atomic glacier thanks will try the custom gap card
clear reef
@hot gyro I think that will work for my home use. At our corporate level we are using a custom built software to 'listen' to various BAS protocals such as BacNet, Modbus, Lon, etc
hot gyro
Sure but then you need parsers making sure the protocol is collected etc which may be overkill - if you want to use your own software nothing stops you setting up a broker and oublishing all events and have your tool listening for any mqtt events but may take longer to get all that setup I’d think
clear reef
@mild veldt the corporate level used both dashboards, and back end data to develop a solution for energy savings and personal comfort.
atomic glacier
@polar kelp cool, I'll give it a shot when I get back to the house. Thanks 😁
vernal gazelle
@atomic glacier worked like a charm thanks again
atomic glacier
@polar kelp A+ 🎉 💥 🔥 ⚡
Scrolling Popups!!!! Awesome job!!! Thank you sir! 🤯 A few adjustments on just a couple of them and I can get my repo updated. (of course, I'll need to add a few anchors first 🧐)
Will finally have a ui-lovelace.yaml with only one view needed😁
(instead of the 46 I used to have 🤪)
mild veldt
@atomic glacier only problem is that popups don't work with the new cast 🙁
atomic glacier
True. I haven't had much time to fool with it yet, but I couldn't get a panel view to work either🤔
mild veldt
No it does not
atomic glacier
Ah, that's why then. Guess I'll hafta have a couple of views for cast at least
mild veldt
Yeah, same
unreal wind
Can anyone help me with migrating folders from my computer into my custom_components folder?
split granite
That's not Lovelace specific, at best it's #330944238910963714 if not #general-archived
unreal wind
oh thank you
tough quiver
hey @polar kelp you pointed me to use your new hass-lovelace_gen after my issues here (https://github.com/thomasloven/homeassistant-lovelace-gen/issues/17)
kind shellBOT
tough quiver
oops lol
Anyway, So i have that as my ui-lovelace.yaml
And HASS is rendering this: https://i.imgur.com/q1mDZvK.png
which is erm, not right.
(I suspect I've done something wrong)
polar kelp
Do you get anything in your browser console?
tough quiver
there is one: uncaught exception: Object
firefox doesn't want to be much more help than that.
is there something specific I have to do to tell it to re-generate a ui or something?
(tried CTRL+SHIFT+R, and "Refresh" in the three dots is missing when its rendering like the image i posted)
nothing in hass logs either.
(Which is set to error logs)
tough quiver
hmm, more interesting.
I copied in my old ui-lovelace and it, obviously, works fine.
So then I just copied over the new one (from the paste.ubuntu.com above) on top of ui-lovelace.yaml and it seems to be working
🤔 very odd.
polar kelp
weird
polar kelp
Does it work if you don't add # lovelace_gen ui_lovelace.yaml, but to one of the included files?
mint geode
Has anyone had problems with picture glance pictures not updating upon a state change? After I reload the page it shows the correct picture.
tough quiver
@polar kelp I'll give that a try.
welp, it' still just doing what the imgur link was. @polar kelp
polar kelp
Oh!
That's a difference between the two. !include now works the same as the built-in one - it's rooted in the directory of the current file.
I.e. if you want to include lovelace/my_view.yaml from ui_lovelace.yaml it's !include lovelace/my_view.yaml.
tough quiver
yeah i already did that.
- !include lovelace/new_home.yaml
first thing i did was update all my !include to have lovelace/ in them
if i !include something within the new_home.yaml does that also need to have lovelace/ ?
polar kelp
Does that file include other files?
tough quiver
yes...
polar kelp
No. All includes are relative from the current file
tough quiver
Ah!
polar kelp
And apparently including a file that doesn't exists doesn't give an error, but crashes in the worst way possible... I'll have to look into that
tough quiver
yeah its totally fine now
🤦
my new_home.yaml also has a # lovelace_gen is that necessary?
welp, doesnt seem to be necessary
polar kelp
# lovelace_gen is necessary in any file using lovelace_gen features. !include (without arguments) is not one of those.
tough quiver
Ah right, I'm only using !include not Jinja2 or any !file stuff in there so that makes sense.
polar kelp
There. A new version of lovelace_gen has been released.
What I think happened for you was that generating the lovelace setup failed without an error message, so Home Assistant fell back on displaying /states instead.
frigid mortar
can you change an icon of an entity depending on its state, eg. changing the icon of a lamp that is on to another one and when its off back to the default one
?
polar kelp
If you make a "wrapper" template light: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.template/
frigid mortar
thanks
polar kelp
I'm thinking of adding an emoji to the descriptions of my plugins on github to make them recognizable in hacs catalog. Is that a bad move?
🔹 perhaps
mint geode
Has anyone had problems with picture glance pictures not updating upon a state change? After I reload the page it shows the correct picture.
tough quiver
@polar kelp it definitely looks nice
lol
@mint geode I often have issues with my picture entity cards set to camera with view set to live not actually updating just staying on the first frame they displayed.
wheat current
Do it, do it, do it @polar kelp 🎉
mint geode
Need to check if there's already an issue open. Thanks!
main meteor
How to remove the config bar on the left, i now get double.
elder pendant
What change did you make that caused that to happen?
brisk steeple
I have a hopefully quick question. I "accidentally" enabled the config UI, and can't seem to go back to the normal mode. I deleted the lovelace file in .storage, and rebooted, but I'm still missing the option to check config and restart.
elder pendant
In your profile settings there is an option to enable advanced server control
brisk steeple
Advanced mode is/was enabled. I did disable, and re-enable it.
polar kelp
It's moved
brisk steeple
AH!
That makes sense. I updated HA last night, and haven't had to config anything since. You are wonderful, thank you
brittle eagle
Hey guys, would anyone know how to change the scale that cards a displayed on cast? Can only see 3 full blown cards, i'd like to scale just like zoom in the browser to say 50%
potent compass
hi, i'm having toubles with my history. if i press the history tab it's just blank and it keeps on loading but nothing apaers. somebody that got the same error? i need to get his working because i watn to show a graph for temp.
elder pendant
Check the home assistant log for recorder errors
pliant eagle
Does anyone know if you can display a message to the user with an actionable option in Lovelace? For example a popup that says, about to enable the alarm press button to cancel?
@potent compass this is a Lovelace channel.., but I think the issue might be your dB got to big or not setup properly are you running on Pi3? If you got many sensors and weeks of data it will take a while to load
prime umbra
you can do that using browser mod
mint geode
Is the pop-up display for media players-, climate-, entities cards, ... in lovelace supposed to not work when casting from HA?
potent compass
@pliant eagle i have 2 sensors and i'm running HA on a PI3
polar kelp
Ugh! Another breaking bug in lovelace_gen. Who'd have though ripping things out of the Home Assistant core and stuffing in your own ones would be so hard?
Version 4 should not ruin packages that contain !secret.
Haha! Cool. You can search for 🔹 in hacs to find my things
vapid field
good evening.
I start with HA. I can not understand how to install a card like mini-graph-card-bundle.js.
with you a link to advise me to learn the principle of personalization cards? thank you very much in advance
lean wing
It seems that your configuration.yaml doesn't properly include customize.yaml
Changes made here won't affect your configuration. whats does this mean , trying to customize an entity icon and its not taking effect
buoyant portal
@lean wing have you tried using the UI to customize entities by going to configuration>customization (nothing to do with lovelace)
lean wing
@buoyant portal yes I tired , but after a restart of the sever the icon just come back to default and the display the message as follow .....It seems that your configuration.yaml doesn't properly include customize.yaml
Changes made here won't affect your configuration. above customizing entities
errant plover
Make sure you have this in your configuration.yaml file: ```
homeassistant:
customize: !include customize.yaml
Hi is there a way to enable a debug log for lovelace UI ? I am trying to find out why all my history graphs for all devices and history_graph cards are broken. would that be in the homeassistant.log ?
ember crow
@lean wing as Tom said add what he listed. By default new installs of HA don't have the homeasssitant: part included anymore as it classed as a advanced use and needs to be added manually
vapid field
ooh possible breakthrough, chrome browser shows this error -

opal jay
hi, im kinda big noob atm with HA ( would love to get experienced someday ) but i need to start from scratch obv! so far iv added lights within a group and so on but id like to be able to get this https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player
wheat current
this https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins is a great resource on how to add/troubleshoot custom cards
opal jay
i dont know how to add this to the yaml
Add a reference to mini-media-player-bundle.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml.
polar kelp
There are two different ways of doing that. Both described in the link above.
@wheat current A beer say's there'll be a token question.
wheat current
Token? 🤔
polar kelp
"Unexpected token <". But I just realized that won't happen with mini-media-player...
wheat current
ahhhhh, that one 😄
It still can, I have seen a lot of folks not getting the file from the release..
polar kelp
But it's not available from anywhere else
opal jay
i made a www into /volume1/hass.io/hass.io/homeassistant/www
into that www i copied mini-media-player-bundle.js
after that i go to /volume1/hass.io/hass.io/homeassistant/storage and theres a "lovelace" file
wheat current
stop
opal jay
with some entities like light.tv.woonkamer
wheat current
restart HA
Then use the raw editor to add it under resources (see the GIF on the wiki)
polar kelp
Yeah. You shouldn't poke around in .storage/lovelace manually.
opal jay
No card type found
{
"resources": [
{
"url": "/local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.2.2",
"type": "module"
}
]
}
whenever i put this in the toggle editor :
resources:
- url: /local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.2.2
type: module
timid burrow
don't touch that file unless you want a lot of grief
opal jay
hehe i wont anymore :p
wheat current
"toggle editor " != raw editor
opal jay
yea im using that toggle editor now and put that line into it but im getting no card type found
wheat current
opal jay
ahhhhhhh
Your config is not supported by the UI editor:
Expected a value of type undefined for resources but received [{"url":"/local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.2.2","type":"module"}].
Falling back to YAML editor.
wheat current
Why are you trying to add your own steps to the guide?
opal jay
?
wheat current
https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins Do it exactly how it's described here, don't use a card editor, use the RAW editor
opal jay
ahh just did that, restarting ha now
wheat current
no need
For lovelace the only time you need to restart is one time after creating the www folder
opal jay
ahhhh okayy
damn
welll thx very much!! 😄
well i just need to get a start how to make things like this
im a noob
but this is a good start! 😃
wheat current
"pro" tip, get hacs, it will do most of the "heavy lifing" for you 😃
opal jay
hacs?
wheat current
opal jay
pro tip for a noob :p
polar kelp
Pro tip for everyone
opal jay
there's no community on my sidebar in ha

url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
i get an error with the url |:S
wheat current
yeah... that's not how any card works ;)
Read the documentation for the card you are adding 😉
opal jay
When installed, this will be located in '/config/www/community/light-entity-row', you still need to add it to your lovelace configuration ('ui-lovelace.yaml' or the raw UI config editor).
When you add this to your configuration use this:
- url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
type: Could not determine the type of this plugin, check the repository.
this is what it states
wheat current
That is not the documentation of the card ;)
And that is for the resources: only
opal jay
i added it through community
wheat current
no
opal jay
installed*
wheat current
You "installed"(downloaded) it
"you still need to add it to your lovelace configuration" == you have to add it 😉
opal jay
i tried to do so in the raw editor of ha
opal jay
resources:
- type: module
url: /local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.2.2 - type: light-entity-row
url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
is that good?
opal jay
- type: light-entity-row.js
url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
wheat current
" light-entity-row.js" is not one of the 3 possible values I said..
opal jay
so it should be js i guess
wheat current
Don't guess, look in the repository (like you where told to do)
" type: Could not determine the type of this plugin, check the repository."
opal jay
- type: "custom:light-entity-row"
entity: light.eetkamer
showColorPicker: true
showColorSliders: true
url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
still something wrong here
if this is the way it should be..
wheat current
@polar kelp You like to modify stuff, do you know if plugins (That have editors) can "hack" their way into the card selector in the UI?
polar kelp
Should be doable.
wheat current
That would be cool/usefull 😄
polar kelp
Listen for the "show-edit-card" event, and just add a button that sets the .cardPicked property of hui-card-picker.
I'm planing to start looking at editors for my cards once my PRs for the lovelace editor are merged...
wheat current
Cool cool! I think I have a plugin somewhere with an editor I can test that with 😄
opal jay
i cant seem to get it working:s
short edge
kind shellBOT
opal jay
doesnt work ;/
i dont understand what to do with this anymore:s
- type: module
url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
this works
radiant drum
@opal jay it should be like this ``` - url: /community_plugin/light-entity-row/light-entity-row.js
type: module
so how long does it normally take for the "background task" to finish after installing hacs and switching to the community tab for the first time?
wheat current
from 3 to 90 min
split granite
Though, that's nothing to do with #frontend-archived 😉
elder pendant
That seems reasonable
split granite
#330944238910963714 would be a better place to ask, though maybe we need a custom components channel
and now ... #609399695466430465 is the right place to ask 😉
icy delta
Hello, I am trying to download a .js for a custom card
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-waze-card/87061/29
when I try to go to the github it 404's. Does that mean there is no way to get this card to work? I am trying to get a card that displays commute information. Is there a better way of making this happen?
wheat current
icy delta
ah thank you. what was i missing? should I have been able to find that on my own lmao
wheat current
Not sure where the info is
elder pendant
If you are familiar with github, then maybe
The guy never updated his repo links when he switched
icy delta
yeah i am still new to all of this so still learning. i appreciate the link guys!
pseudo wagon
how do you group entities together in lovelace (i.e. google home minis)
pseudo wagon
group them with other items in their area
split granite
You could be describing a view (https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/views/) or just a card...
split granite
The lovelace docs list all the stock cards, and there's more custom cards than anybody can track
pseudo wagon
gotcha
warm meteor
I currently have a person badge, and created a group.household (with two people in it). Is it possible to create a badge for the group, that is similar to the person one? Such that it has a banner with the status? The current group badge just shows the status in the circle
split granite
Yes. See the Lovelace docs about badges 😉 I think they're part of view... but I could be wrong
warm meteor
@split granite lol youre everywhere. I looked there but didnt see an answer to this specific thing. Im not thinking its possible, but wanted to make sure
small pike
@warm meteor I have a group for all devices and I was able to add it as badge but the text beneath it showed only Home which is where most of the devices are but not all
split granite
It's certainty possible @warm meteor
wind bronze
I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, but is there a way to nest another card within an entities card? I'd like temperature and humidity entities to be side by side within an entities card, but not sure that I can.
split granite
Not with a stock card - it might be possible with some custom cards
wind bronze
That's what I thought--will look into some of the custom cards
Thanks!
https://github.com/custom-cards/vertical-stack-in-card looks like exactly what I need
civic sedge
maybe Home Assistant needs to be configured to allow Home Assistant Cast to load custom cards
https://cast.home-assistant.io/faq.html#browser
pseudo wagon
So i tried using views from that link @split granite but i keep getting an error in my log
thats what that part of my log looks like
civic sedge
you use yaml mode?
pseudo wagon
thats the only mode i see on the docs
civic sedge
there is also the fancy new configurator
pseudo wagon
what do u mean?
civic sedge
well.. you basicly press the 3 dots in the right corner and press edit when I remember right
then you see some new icons and just press [+]
civic sedge
well.. when you want to have an diffrent expirience you have to take the wheel 😉
pseudo wagon
righto
civic sedge
for the new fiew just press the plus in your header
pseudo wagon
can u create groups or just use the groups they have
e.g all i see is "group.all_remotes" and group.all_switches
civic sedge
therefore you have to use some custom cards
pseudo wagon
aha
radiant drum
i did add http: cors_allowed_origins: - https://cast.home-assistant.io but i get the same result
civic sedge
but you can do a hell lot
fake news @radiant drum - this config is already loaded - thats why I crossed it out
pseudo wagon
wow cool
radiant drum
ok.. anyone else got card-modder working with cast?
Or does it only work when you dont use lovelace: mode: yaml
civic sedge
I got it working with yaml mode
@pseudo wagon
past one of these two configs as manual card
pseudo wagon
YAML Error: YAMLException: duplicated mapping key at line 31, column -195: cards: ^
or are they two separate cards
civic sedge
two seperate
but thats not 195 lines
pseudo wagon
line 31 it said
civic sedge
ah column
pseudo wagon
the second one works
pseudo wagon
ok, looking
right now it spits out no error, just blank
nothing resolves on the card
civic sedge
let one play some music
pseudo wagon
ok
civic sedge
- card:
entity: media_player.entrance_mini
type: media-control
conditions:
- entity: media_player.entrance_mini
state: playing
type: conditional
the Conditional Card looks up the state you desire and only shows an card when this state is true
civic sedge
this is one of the most basic card imo (super useful)
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/
there are a lot out
you can edit the cards and copy out some of the configs
I'm off to bed now - have fun
pseudo wagon
TY sir!
pseudo wagon
anyone know how to resize cards? having an issue finding that
split granite
Generally speaking, you can't
pseudo wagon
dang. these horizontally stacked cards are so tiny
ok..separately: i cant figure out how to stop discovery from happening on 2 devices: homekit rachio (i have rachio added already elsewhere) and HEOS (my receiver)
every time i restart the config it discovers these
elder pendant
If you are using the ios component you will get those notifications.
pseudo wagon
i dont want to use the ios component..how do i disable it
elder pendant
Did you enable it? It could also be that you're using the default_config which includes zeroconf (which is actually the component that is giving you the notification)
pseudo wagon
i didnt mean to enable it if i did. i have a fairly vanilla config
i am using default_config
how do i disable it?
should i just remove "default_config"?
elder pendant
Yes, but you need to check the docs for what that contains. You'll lose a lot of stuff if you remove it and don't add anything back
pseudo wagon
ah ok
smoky peak
Question. I have a simple webserver running on my home network (not on the same box that runs hassio). If I want to display its page within home assistant, what's the best way to go about that?
gray kernel
iframe
smoky peak
Thanks
wet pond
hi
can anyone lend me a hand on how can i add url/config/server_control to home assistant menu?
needs to work from outside also
lan / outside url
mint geode
Is the more-info view (on climate, media-player, ... -cards) disabled when using the new cast-feature?
wet pond
ok the answer to my question for who want to do it is this:
panel_custom:
- name: hassio-main
sidebar_title: 'Server Control'
sidebar_icon: mdi:server
js_url: /api/hassio/app/entrypoint.js
url_path: config/server_control

mossy otter
is there a lovelace thing to change the scripts from "Execute" to something else more context-specific like "Add" "Decrease" "Reset" "Start" etc
mint geode
Another question: Does anybody have an iPad 3 to display lovelace? Worked a few months before, haven't checked in a while, Lovelace keeps being rendered blank. I'd guess it is too old to support HA at this time, unless someone got other news?
@mossy otter No expert here, but I'd give "Call Service" a try: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#special-row-elements
Service would then be script.turn_on, specify the entity in service_data and set the button label you want.
main meteor
Can i have multiple setups of lovelace per device? eg. Ipad, iphone, laptop browser
mossy otter
@mint geode thanks bud that's exactly it!
mint geode
Is there a custom entities card, where I can specify conditions on a per entity basis?
kind shellBOT
mint geode
As far as I understand I can only chnage the name and the icon?
I have a entities card displaying all people in our house. If somebody is away, I'd like to show how long he's been away. The second info (how long away) would be a seperate sensor which I would populate once the persons state is "not_home".
Ah!
Just read again, should be possible with your card 😄
This line I was missing 😄 - entity: "${vars[0] === 'on' ? 'light.bed_light' : 'climate.ecobee'}"
Now I need to learn Java script
mint geode
Ok I think I got it. a ? b : c means if a == true then use entity b, else use entity c
What a nice little card
But can it show no entity? what would the condition for such a variant look like? just leave everything blank after :?
What does this mean? Note: All templates must be enclosed by ${} and card type must custom even for core. e.g. custom:hui-shopping-list-cardOnly custom cards are allowed in the cards "body"?
wheat current
no
"for core. e.g. custom:hui-shopping-list-card"
"shopping-list" is a core card
mint geode
So this should work?

I have a page with horizontal and vertical panels.. but I can't seem to get the GUI editor to edit the items with it in it
it just allows me to see the cards, and then interact with them normally, but no editing of them

there are no ui editors for stacks yet
there should be an edit button outside the stack to click that will bring you to the yaml or you can use the raw config editor

There is no edit button for the stack.. i've been having to use the raw config editor

anyone know how i would get the actual value to show up on mobile with input number entity using slider mode
its visible on desktop but hidden in the ios app
making the sliders useless
oblique river
i dont want to read the value but show it in the ui without extra duplicate row for each slider 😃
split granite
If it's only behaving that way in the iOS app, try asking in #ios_and_mac-archived - they may be doing something
oblique river
its actually seems to happen whenever the user agent is mobile and view width is narrow, event on the desktop so not specific to the app
i guess its some css rule i need to override

Hi, is there a card or something I can use to list entities based on their values. Example, I measure the power usage of a lot of items and I'd like to have them arranged from most to least power usage

You could look into the custom card "auto entities". Not sure though if you can sort them by value as well. @wooden latch

in the oinstructions they say this
Add a reference to mini-graph-card-bundle.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml or at the top of the raw config editor UI.
where do i make the ui-lovelace.yaml file?
config dir.?
split granite
That's only if you're in YAML mode
Maybe if you could provide a link to the docs for this custom card I could comment more...
split granite
Ah, selective copy and paste
- Download and copy mini-graph-card-bundle.js from the latest release into your
config/wwwdirectory.
- Add a reference to mini-graph-card-bundle.js inside your ui-lovelace.yaml or at the top of the raw config editor UI.
It may also be supported by HACS, which will help with that

Why does the RAW Config editor have to organise everything into alphabetical order? It only makes is really really really confusing to re-read and tell what belongs to what...
action: toggle
type: 'custom:button-card'
max_width: 700
type: 'custom:layout-card'
column_width: 100%
max_width: 100%
type: 'custom:layout-card'
icon: 'mdi:home'
panel: true
title: Our House
Just Sayin......
mild veldt
it's alphabetical
it is converted to json for storage and then re-parsed for editing
you can switch to yaml-mode if you prefer
@copper mural use imgur or something similar next time
sleek ginkgo
@heavy cove This was one reason why I switched to YAML mode, as I didn't like the RAW editor modifying my YAML, and I agree that the modified YAML is less intuitive and more confusing to try and go back to later.
mild veldt
ideally we'll get the storage mode to the point where you wouldn't need to touch the yaml and just use editors, but that still has a way to go

Anyone using Compact Custom Header card for multiple devices with different views?
Id like to set a unique views for ipad, iphone and laptop. Possible?
rose spear
Hi, i messed up my lovelace... how can i bring it back to default state ? 😰
split granite
Depends on how you're controlling it
Stopping HA and deleting .storage/lovelace will do it if you're using the UI to manage it
smoky peak
So...is the UI editor broken, or am I just stupid. Granted the latter is much more likely. I am trying to add a view, with a single card, which is a web page entity. It seems to want to duplicate my main (home) view, no matter what I do.
vapid field
Did you perhaps copy the path: variable from the home view? @smoky peak
smoky peak
I used the UI editor. So, unless it did that without my knowledge, no. Hence my initial question, "is the UI editor broken?"
I.e.....click "Configure UI". click "+". That's where it all goes off the rails.
I think it's broken. I am a person of exactly average intelligence, and I cannot get it to work, although in the past, I was able to successfully add four other views which work just fine.
split granite
Last time I tested (0.96) it worked as expected to add a view
Let me spin up 0.97 and try
smoky peak
Thanks.
split granite
Which ➕ are you using - the one next to Home ?
That creates a new view for me, but leaves me looking at the current view
smoky peak
The one to the right of the last view of my 5.
split granite
Yup
And it'll leave you looking at your current view
You've selected the newly created view?

Ok, only thing change was title. I put it back.

My last comment was not for you @hot gyro , it was for @smoky peak ;)
For the difference between you @hot gyro and others are probably the UI editor, it sorts then alphabetically

so, @smoky peak ludeeus, I cannot use external links?

woeful ridge
hi all! Do you guys know if it's possible to disable the new lovelace refresh notification?
smoky peak
Alright. I think I have my ipanel working, but it doesn't display. I suspect it is because it is a link to a device on my internal network which won't route across the Internet due to being an RFC1918 address. Is there a way around this?
split granite
It needs to be accessible from the browser, not from HA
smoky peak
So, then, the answer is no, without a translation.
And, that is not a problem, but would it be a feature request for HA to be able to handle something like this? My home network is around 80 nodes, and 99% of them are inaccessible from the outside, yet all are acessible to HA. Sometimes, I need to be able to access them THROUGH HA and it would be desirable for HA to act as the "proxy" or "bridge" to do so, rather than have the add those devices to my firewall, or to have to VPN in.
split granite
HA would have to be a reverse proxy then, I don't see them building that in, but somebody could create a custom component
Alternatively, VPN

@timid burrow . Same problem here. Can hope for a fix
polar kelp
@atomic glacier It seems that color comes from the manifest, which should follow the backend-selected theme.
timid burrow
@winter hollow or @polar kelp do you know if there is anything I can do with the svg animated icons used in a custom card so they will appear when HA cast is used? They work fine on desktop/mobile etc.. they are the amcharts animated weather icons and they just display blank when cast
@next dirge thanks for confirming it's not just me
it's unclear if it's a limitation of cast
polar kelp
No idea
timid burrow
I see your weather card just uses the mdi ones
it could be something to do with this https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues/3472 ?
winter hollow
@timid burrow Do you self host the icons? What version are you running? Do you have cors enabled?
And no, has nothing to do with that issue
Found the issue, in the config put the full url to the icons: so from icons: '/local/custom_ui/weather_icons/animated/' to icons: 'https://yourhainstance.com/local/custom_ui/weather_icons/animated/'
timid burrow
In which config? It’s a custom card so does that mean the card needs to be edited to include the full path?
willow rose
@mild veldt it looks so cool I tryin
g it now but do't know if its to hard to make
winter hollow
The config of your card, what card are you using? Not mine I guess?
timid burrow
No it’s a modified one - was a darksky custom-card... I’ll get the URL if you can take a look
winter hollow
Just search for the url to the icons in the source and change that to the full url
timid burrow
Ok... so that’s going to be awkward for other people who are using that card
Can the path be parsed through from Lovelace?
winter hollow
You can use this path: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/bramkragten/weather-card/dist/icons/
Or make it a config option
got to run
timid burrow
So they can’t be served locally?
timid burrow
Right.. I was thinking a config option and parsing it through from the config
wheat current
How about parsing location.href? note to self, read the entire conversation
timid burrow
Ahhhhhhhhh ok gotcha
And what if someone doesn’t have https but uses local up address?
I actually have a few extra icons as well
wheat current
Don't cast require https?
timid burrow
Hmm... will that cause github to get upset ? (limit-wise)
wheat current
I think they are more upset with me and hacs 🤣
timid burrow
Hahaha I’m sure they are lol
wheat current
Jsdeliver probably do caching
winter hollow
The reason is use jsdelivr is that they do hosting better then github
Js hosting on github doesnt work
timid burrow
Ok.. I forgot you load resource direct from us deliver
So I could have an extra config option in the lovelace card for someone to parse through their URL and I can read that in the js.
Sounds pretty simple..
Thanks
winter hollow
Maybe you could get the url of the user out of the cast app
timid burrow
That’s way above my pay grade lol
Can’t use secrets in lovelace can I?
It’s weird though because I have other icons that are working fine that are read from /www
But they are just entity_pictures - not set by a js card
Hmm

If you right click your markdown card and choose inspect, you should see a <hui-markdown-card> tag. Inside that is a <ha-card> tag and that should contain a <style class="card-mod-style"> if everything is right.

I'm having some trouble getting the theme to work from this reddit post. https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/cph47g/sunset_theme/
here is what i have in my themes.yaml
radiant drum
Is there a way to get secondary_info: to show on the Picture Elements Card?
polar kelp
Easiest way is to make a template sensor which extracts the data you want.
If you really really want to do it, you can make an element with type: custom:hui-text-entity-row or something and set name: " " and secondary_info: whatever
radiant drum
Thanks! i will see if i mange to do type: custom:hui-text-entity-row
I got this. How do i add this to the Picture Elements Card?
split granite
@brave dove The list of stock cards are at https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/
The ones that mention picture in the name are likely the ones you're most interested in
There are, of course, lots of custom cards too
brave dove
okay, so how do i get my camera up but still have a good fps?
gaunt juniper
what hardware are you using?
split granite
Read through the details for the card above
gaunt juniper
you don't want high fps, trust me
brave dove
no i know
split granite
You absolutely can stream the camera, if you configure the card (and HA) correctly, but as @gaunt juniper warns you may regret that
split granite
Do what?
gaunt juniper
I don't want to sound rude, but read the docs
split granite
^^^ THAT
You've been pointed at the answer already
If you don't want to stream but just update more than once very 5 seconds, there are custom cards
brave dove
how do i know how much my raspberry pi can handle?
split granite
Try it and see
gaunt juniper
my setup, I'm using my NVR for high fps/quality and for lovelace I use 2fps on surveillance-card
gaunt juniper
and I'm running hass in docker
split granite
There are other options if you're not using Hass.io, but that should get you started 😉
gaunt juniper
you can monitor hardware with system-monitor, like @split granite is suggesting
split granite
(and lots of other options in there - I run one of the other things on all my systems)
gaunt juniper
sysmon will show you the RAM and CPU (among others), that can give you an idea of the load on your hardware

Okay
with "disk_use_percent" i can select a directory to get stats from. What is the main directory? Is it root, home or anything else?
split granite
Depends entirely on how you installed Home Assistant, and what you mean by main directory - all that is a #330944238910963714 question though
split granite
That's nothing to do with #frontend-archived
brave dove
what room then? 😦
split granite
#330944238910963714
But, maybe it's time to read the channel topics?
brave dove
It says configuration in this room
i thought it was a setting in conf to make it refresh more often or so

Discussion regarding the Lovelace UI and configuration
Lovelace UI being the key thing there 😉
brave dove
This is a Lobelace Ui question. How do i add icons instead of panel name?
split granite
Define an icon for the view
brave dove
ive tryed: "f2dc", "mdi-home" and "home"., none works.
i just get an empty name without any icons or names
split granite
Icons have to include the source, even if there's only one officially supported source for now
brave dove
Great
muted mulch
Hey all :-)
I have a question about changing color for an icon on a picture-elements card...
is there a way to set a custom color for an icon on a picture-elements card?
I'm using a theme and I can change the global var "paper-item-icon-color", but I'd like to do it icon per icon
SOLVED
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#style
style:
# Positioning of the element
left: 50%
top: 50%
# Overwrite color for icons
"--paper-item-icon-color": pink
hey chaps - can lovelace directly point to a eg sensor attribute or do I still need a template for it?
mild veldt
I mean, it obviously depends on the element. I would say most pertain to the state, but there are custom ones for attributes. Would need more context on what you're trying to achieve
hot gyro
well, when I got a sate of a sensor, being able to put a state attribute onto a dashboard - only looking at the entity brings up the entity with the various attributes and their state but I only want to have lets say 2 out of the 14
mild veldt
use button-card, you can display pretty much anything using that
hot gyro
I have a look thanks
mild veldt
e.g.
type: custom:button-card
name: >
[[[
return states['sensor.my_sensor'].attributes.my_attribute;
]]]
this would be better though, so you're not refreshing that element all the time
type: custom:button-card
entity: sensor.my_sensor
name: >
[[[
return state.attributes.my_attribute;
]]]
I give that a go thanks - wish loading all the plugs etc would work without restart ...
mild veldt
you don't need to restart after adding a custom card
only integrations that don't use config flow or a backend configuration change require a restart
hot gyro
ha learned something new
mild veldt
a frontend change never requires a restart, unless it is the first time you created your www folder
if not using HACS, then you just need to be sure to clear your browser cache
hot gyro
so all plugins can be added at runtime?
mild veldt
yes
hot gyro
damn ...
cheers mate
was the only reason I was a bit reluctant to test more plugs out
mild veldt
coupled with HACS, it's pretty easy to add a new plugin
hot gyro
yh just updated HACS so that wanted a restart anyway so that worked just fine
strong falcon
anyone have a suggestion for an icon that could be used for the deck or outdoor space? Trying to find one to use for a switch to activate an outdoor scene
wheat current
mdi:sun
split granite
mdi:table
😛
strong falcon
haha
mild veldt
mdi:outdoor-lamp
strong falcon
that might work, thx

Does anyone know if there any way to add a sensor reading (outdoor temp) to the thermostat card that renders with a generic_thermostat component?
elder pendant
You mean put the sensor into a generic thermostat or render it next to a generic thermostat?
thick ice
I want to render an additional sensor reading into the history graph that is integrated into the thermostat card
Out of the box it renders the target temperature and the current temperature
elder pendant
You can use the history graph card, but you cannot stick another entity into an entity's history graph
thick ice
What if I developed a new custom component very similar to the generic thermostat?
elder pendant
Seems like a lot of effort for something that's already solvable with another card...
thick ice
I already have a new component. I am developing a fan based A/C component. It works just like the generic_thermostat, except it requires the outdoor temperature to be less than the current indoor temp.
Functionally, it works great
I would just like to add the outdoor sensor reading I already have in the component to the graph that renders in the thermostat so I can see the correlation with the outdoor temp.
mild veldt
@thick ice you're talking about the graph in more-info, I assume? Just create your own more-info using the popup-card or browser_mod
thick ice
Yes, that is what I was referring to
strong falcon
Can I activate an input boolean as a tap action on a picture glance card?
split granite
Why couldn't you?
strong falcon
i guess i can 😜
is it possible to replace an icon with text for example replace mdi:play with text that says "Play Now"
wheat current
no, that is not an icon
strong falcon
ok ,i was thinking of the mini media player where you can have text buttons to start a playlist as an example
wheat current
when you use custom, "all rules" are "thrown out the window"
strong falcon
ok, got it
wheat current
yeah yeah yeah... mr. technical... 🙄
mild veldt
it's actually Dr. Technical

strong falcon
Similiar question, is it not possible to fire a script from the entity section of a picture glance card?
strong falcon
I have the tap action down, wanted to run a script from the entity bar at the bottom
vapid field
Hey there, i am still new to homeasisstant and i try to show state based icon colors in a glance card. For that i customize in configuration.yaml:
kind shellBOT
vapid field
but the colors does not appear
mild veldt
@strong falcon ah yeah, not possible, I've argued for that before but was shot down by management 😉
strong falcon
@mild veldt could I work around it by turning on an input boolean which would activate an automation?
mild veldt
uhhhh, I guess. I don't like that solution, however
strong falcon
not do i
mild veldt
do you need the picture-glance?
what's in the picture?
like, could you just have the picture as a picture, and then put some buttons below it in a stack?
strong falcon
I am trying to create a card to activate a playlist in Sonos. The picture is album art
We pick an "album of the week" that the family listens to, i save it to a playlist, save the album art to www. Wanted to have a single click solution to play it
strong falcon
sweet, pretty much what i need. Pretty self-explanatory or some special coding?
brave dove
Hi, im trying to get a vertical stack card with a sensor graph inside, but I get an error saying “Specify an entity from within the sensor domain.”

Hello everyone,
i’m building a system tab with al the system values like ram, cpu temp etc. I addes a couple of sensors and it all worked then i added a couple of counters like the code down below. after i rebooted for the second time my cards never came back. I deleted them from my yaml file but the cards still won’t show up. if i refresh the page they appear for less then a second and then they are gone.
mild veldt
@strong falcon mine is little more complex than what you'll need https://gist.github.com/iantrich/4c77663c5e51a2f5ff819e2691d6c16f
kind shellBOT
mild veldt
@strong falcon here's all you would need and you can look at the other gist if you want to add more albums I guess https://gist.github.com/iantrich/b3164a5790be795f8a1a391b39d7b8fd
@brave dove wrap your config in back ticks so that it is properly formatted
strong falcon
thanks
brave dove
How do u mean?
I’m new to home assistant
kind shellBOT
elder pendant
It's a discord thing, not a home assistant thing
mild veldt
when did the commands switch to .? I missed that
elder pendant
You can do either
kind shellBOT
mild veldt
oh yeah...you can't have text in front of it
elder pendant
If you want to tag someone it goes after the command
mild veldt
i am a failure...
elder pendant
But we keep you around anyway 😉
mild veldt
too kind 🙏
strong falcon
@mild veldt my play and shuffle icons are black, how can i make them white?
mild veldt
I think that's my theme
in the style section you can set the color
"--paper-item-icon-color": white
strong falcon
ok, can i make the "play" call a script as the service?
mild veldt
yes
strong falcon
I ma not sure how to implement that code for the icon color
elder pendant
It goes in your theme
mild veldt
or in style of the element
e.g.
style:
left: 10%
top: 90%
"--paper-item-icon-color": white
Oh yeah, forgot we were talking about picture elements
brave dove
Why do I need to format it?
mild veldt
because I don't know if your problem is your formatting or you configuration itself without that
indentation is very important in yaml
elder pendant
yaml is format dependent. A single space could be the difference between a working config and a broken mess
brave dove
Unfortunately I’m on mobile so I can’t copy the exact text
I know that the spaces and everything is right
That’s not the problem
mild veldt
- type: sensor
Entities:
- sensor.ute
graph: line
well this is not correct
brave dove
But when I have - type: entities instead of - type: sensor it works
mild veldt
yea...those are different cards
mild veldt
Yeah, so their configurations are different
type: sensor
entity: sensor.ute
graph: line
