[polar kelp]

Just refresh. If it's still working, it will keep showing up.

Seems the reloading is broken somehow. I had the same problem.

[quick gulch]

yeah i turned on logger it seems to be registering all the plugins but really slowly

[polar kelp]

Yeah... it's never been very fast. I suspect that's to preserve your github API rates.

[quick gulch]

right so i think i'l just be patient

[polar kelp]

Hey, @wheat current! There should be a service you can call to update the database on a schedule.

Wait... it's already doing that every 30 minutes... that should be enough for anyone. Never mind.

[wheat current]

There is also a button you can click

[wheat current]

And that bug with missing auto reload will not be fixed, that "old" UI will die in a version or two

[polar kelp]

I'm not here because of how much I love manually pressing buttons... 😉

[quick gulch]

anyone got the buttons from homekit 'infused' lovelace config working?

i grabbed the button template and loaded it however it doesnt show anything

https://github.com/jimz011/homeassistant/blob/master/lovelace/templates/button.yaml

[polar kernel]

Hi, I try again today.
I search a way to have text displayed with diferent style depending on a condition like a template. Is there a way or extension to do it in lovelace ?
Otherwise I will create a new platform template with a dedicated icon and display it all the time with the color and no icon no message.
Objective: Display rain day depending on number of mm planed for the day by displaying the weather sumary higlighted in red to not forget umbrella

[mild veldt]

@polar kernel if you want templates and conditions all wrapped into one, try the config-template-card

[polar kernel]

Thanks @mild veldt, seems to look at what I am searching for, I will give it a try when working back on it.

[tender spoke]

Hi all, i try to integrate meraki but i recive rhis message "Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from 209.206.57.91"

[mild veldt]

That doesn't sound related to lovelace

[tender spoke]

you have right ... sorry

[polar kelp]

@polar kernel If you just want a text displayed, the markdown card supports jinja templates

and so does card-mod for changing display styles

[polar kernel]

thanks @polar kelp, Yes but I did not find anything linked to what I was searching for, but today I use a entities card to retrieve content directly from entity. But I will give it a try
https://gitlab.com/zorbac/home-assistant-config/blob/master/lovelace/bus_daily_weather.yaml
As I have not big space on displayed screen I do not use many cards as my sample there https://gitlab.com/zorbac/home-assistant-config/blob/master/images/info_panel.png

[serene ermine]

Hi, here comes a realy n00b questian, Just started looking in to Hass and wanted to activate lovelace UI but cant find out how..created a ui-lovelace.yaml file under config but nothing happend (made reboot)

[elder pendant]

Did you read the lovelace docs?

[serene ermine]

if I added lovelace: mode:yaml to config it changed

tryed to find something there but its not clear

[elder pendant]

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

If you think it can be clearer, please edit the page

[serene ermine]

but when I have it in that yale mode I cant add things to ui with the menu option

So yamle mode is super clear 🙂

[elder pendant]

It is possible to write your Lovelace config in YAML instead of via the UI

literally the first line

[serene ermine]

get that but I dont want to do that right now

I just like to get the option in the 3 dots to edit it

[elder pendant]

Then you don't want yaml mode.

[serene ermine]

exactly...but how do I get that

[elder pendant]

Remove yaml mode?

[serene ermine]

If I do I get the standard UI

[elder pendant]

The standard UI is lovelace

Unless you're running a very old version of HA

[serene ermine]

hmm

but My develepor tools dosen show up in the botoom of the left menu

fresh install

and in the 3 dots there is only Configure UI

on the videos I seen it looks different

[elder pendant]

What video?

[serene ermine]

for example thist one https://www.juanmtech.com/how-to-set-up-lovelace-on-home-assistant/

[kind shell]

They are great to watch but are usually out of date QUICK.... Best to read the DOCS

Command '.videos' was invoked by: Villhellm

[elder pendant]

That video is almost a year old

[serene ermine]

ok

so lovelace is deafult UI now and you only have to make a ui-lovelace.yaml and change in config to set mode:yaml if you like to configure in yamle file only

[mild veldt]

right. I would not advise yaml mode unless you decide later that you have a reason for it

[serene ermine]

ok thx

[atomic glacier]

Can this be used under styles: in scripts.yaml ?

          min-width: 100vw; 
          min-height: 100vh;

(knowledge is very limited here 😐 )

[mild veldt]

?

is this a browser_mod thing?

[atomic glacier]

@mild veldt Saw that and read something about vw and vh and didn't know if they could be used with regular CSS styles: (for me that would be used in card-modder and browser_mod))

trying to find a better way to display popups that are shared between and Android & iPhone. Not getting anywhere, displays are very different in size. width: 100% seems to work but height: 100% can't be used, as it won't display content...

[tulip mulch]

Is there a service to refresh lovelace? I'm trying to setup a button in one of my cards so I can hide the header through cch

[polar kelp]

@atomic glacier Any css can be used with card-mod. What happens depends on what you're trying to apply it to.

[tulip mulch]

@polar kelp your browser mod has allowed me to make my GUI so much better... thank you

[polar kelp]

Glad to hear it!

[tulip mulch]

Do you happen to know if there is a service to refresh lovelace?

Or how it is refreshed through the frontend

[atomic glacier]

@tulip mulch hass-browser_mod and can be done with automations as well as manually

https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod

[tulip mulch]

I see it in there.. but when I call the service.. it doesnt do anything.. do I have to identify the device?

[atomic glacier]

Not that I'm aware of. Shouldn't need service_data for that one

...but I just run it via script calls and it reloads all devices that are currently logged into LL

[tulip mulch]

  - type: "custom:button-card"
    color_type: label-card
    color: rgb(44, 109, 214)
    name: Reload Lovelace
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: browser_mod.lovelace_reload```

[atomic glacier]

Yep, that would be it

[tulip mulch]

Ok.. nvm.. for some reason it didnt wanna work.. I refreshed my cache and used the button.. all good now

Thanks

[outer urchin]

so i got a climate entity for my heaters. it doesn´t come with a temperature sensor. i can see the "current_temperature" in the entity-attributes, is there any way to get a sensor out of it?

[split granite]

#330944238910963714 would know 😉

[outer urchin]

thx 🙂

[frosty spindle]

Happy Friday 🍻

[vapid field]

Can you change the way a boolean is displayed in a entity card?

instead of a toggle want it to say "open" and not let you change it in ui

[mild veldt]

@vapid field type: custom:hui-entity-text-row

[burnt wigeon]

Morning all!

I'm using some input_numbers, but they are more for read only in lovelace, any change it's possible to hide the slider?

[split granite]

No, but you could wrap them in a template sensor and display that

[polar kelp]

If you set mode: box you won't get the slider. It'll still be editable, though.

[burnt wigeon]

Don’t like the box mode either haha but thank you

I’ll have a look at the sensor option! Cheers

[polar kelp]

Ians message right before yours would work too.

[burnt wigeon]

Thanks!

Is it also possible to change the icon based on a value being true or false? I've been reading into it, but it all needs some extention or add-on? Is this still the case?

[sudden lion]

Anyone seen something like this before and what card that is?

[polar kelp]

@burnt wigeon then you should definitely go with the template sensor.

[manic skiff]

Trying to add picture element card and it is not finding my image. I have checked the HA docker container and see the image in the /config/www folder

I have white listed it as well in the ha config.yaml just in case but still not working

I have tried /local/www/file.png and /config/www/file.png

[polar kelp]

It’s just /local/file.png

[manic skiff]

oh just local

trying...

that did it !!!

thanks 🙂

[brisk osprey]

I'm having some trouble understanding how I can add a custom calendar card. I've found the atomic one, buts since the ui-lovelace isnt in use anymore, how do use it?
From what I remember it's not recommended to edit the .storage files?

[split granite]

See the pinned messages in this channel

[brisk osprey]

thanks @split granite . Now I just need to figure out if I cant get the atomic-calendar card to fetch my nextcloud cal instead of a none-existing google cal 😄

[short jetty]

is there some way to make a lovelace card automatically include all the entities of a specific entity type? like all the lights on one card automatically>?

[dark dirge]

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-bringing-back-entity-filter-monster-card/58701

[polar kelp]

If I may toot my own horn, this one is better than monster-card in every way but one (and I'm fixing that ): https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

[dark dirge]

that's it - I knew there was a replacement and have been searching unsuccessfully for it

[mild veldt]

@polar kelp I'll probably archive monster once you do that

[short jetty]

took me a minute, but that works just the way i want it to

what's the disadvantage compared to monster card

i'm trying to get thomas' code to show everything with domain: light and an entity_id containing nursery and its not working

nevermind, i'm dumb. you can't use the show_header_toggle with the glances card

[devout hatch]

does browser-mod works on ios app? @polar kelp

[polar kelp]

I think so. Mostly. Maybe not the camera thing. I never tried.

[devout hatch]

I firstly need a popupcard..

yoi wrote on tepo for the pop up card that is deprecated

and I am trying to migrate to browser_mod

[prime umbra]

is there any css that can be apply to the section of the new devices page?
if using any theme other then the default HA theme, the devices page info is all white

i try to add a code to a alarm control panel that comes from a integration. With costomization it's possible to set a code_format but it's not possible to set the code there.

Did someone know a way to add a code?

[atomic glacier]

@prime umbra haven't looked at it yet, but if you get an answer, pls tag me, Thanks!

[sturdy quartz]

Hello everyone! I just started trying to figure out Home Assistant the other day, and while I'm having a ton of fun, I'm stuck trying to get a script to work so my vacuum cleaner moved out from under a table so I can empty the bin. I've been searching for hours and hours, trying different examples from other users.

I've created a script (that works) so the vacuum moves to the correct place. When adding it in Lovelace (this is likely my problem?) as an Entity-button it works. Until I click "edit" on that button again - then things have been removed and I'm unable to start the script. This seems super weird to me

[subtle root]

@sturdy quartz I have tried this before a long time ago too. But i never find a proper solution as direct controll commands. Mostly i use my normal remote controll to get is out of the table and clean the robot.

If you find a proper way than inform me ^^

[sturdy quartz]

It's strange that code is deleted when I press "edit". This is the code that I save: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QGb9M6t6Cy/ This works and the vacuum will go to the position I've set. But as soon as I press "edit", this is the code that I am presented with: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6X3ysKTSDf/

And since the code "script.turn_on" is deleted, the script won't turn on again.

This is the script that is supposed to be executed: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gx6jwG8XyP/

[mild veldt]

@sturdy quartz 🤔 I thought we fixed that bug. What version are you running?

[sturdy quartz]

@mild veldt It says 0.99.3. I'm using the official NUC image from home-assistant.io if that makes a difference

It seems to work as intended when I use Entities instead of Entities Button, but well, then it's not a button anymore

[icy patrol]

is it possible to change the default blue banner in LL? With perhaps a custom logo banner?

[radiant salmon]

Is there a UI for this that's optimized for smart mirrors?

[spiral pasture]

@icy patrol you can add a theme just to change the colour, but lookup compact custom header for lots more control. https://maykar.github.io/compact-custom-header/

[leaden cradle]

Is there an easy way to apply a css file?

[bronze owl]

Nothing happens when i click on configure ui or unused entities on mobile (iphone)
The help button works only if i click just below it in a exact spot ( in app and in browser)
The menu closes when i click on the other 2 buttons but nothing else happens

[wheat current]

resources:
  - url: /local/custom.css
    type: css

@leaden cradle

[leaden cradle]

@wheat current the problem is when I do this, the number of columns change to 1

[wheat current]

🤷 that is the way to do it, what you do is up to you

[bronze owl]

Managed to open the editor. I had to spam the menu it seems that button hitbox is “off center”

[latent tree]

Hey guys I need some help with something that is probably pretty simple. I get to the lovelace UI by adding lovelace in the url but if I click overview on the side panel how can I get back to lovelace? Is there a way to add my views to the side panel?

[split granite]

What happens when you select Overview

[latent tree]

It takes me to the overview page

But how would i get back to seeing by views?

[split granite]

That should be Lovelace

Go to Developer tools -> Info

[latent tree]

yeah

[split granite]

Under Frontend version what does it say?

[latent tree]

20190919.1 - latest

[split granite]

And underneath that?

[latent tree]

Frontend version: 20190919.1 - latest
Go to the Lovelace UI

System Health

[split granite]

Is there a button saying something like Set Lovelace as the default...?

[latent tree]

remove states as default page?

[split granite]

There you go

Select that

[latent tree]

Awesome! thank you

[split granite]

No worries, you must have clicked that, or upgraded from a really really old version of Home Assistant

[latent tree]

must have clicked it because I am very new to home assistant

Now I can attempt to integrate hue

[vapid field]

hopefully this gets transfered into a url

https://pastebin.com/1jW6DxAL

What am I missing - trying to set the entire background color

right now its matching my background color but I want it to be like a gray so the card stands out

[latent tree]

Is there a place where people post pictures of their lovelace configurations? I have looked at some of the examples on the home assistant website but I am looking for general ideas so scrolling a bunch of screenshots would be helpful.

[latent moss]

@latent tree here are some, but from 9 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/addvlf/inspiration_needed_please_show_me_your_sexy_ui/

[latent tree]

thanks

[latent tree]

I am trying to use a custom card but I am getting the error "Custom element doesn't exist: vertical-stack-in-card."

I have downloaded the js file and put it in homeassistant/www/

could the problem be when I call it in the resource: I use url: /local/vertical-stack-in-card.js?v=0.1.3 I don't know if this should be different since I am using docker?

[latent moss]

if you just created the /www/ folder for the first time, you need to restart home assistant

[elder aurora]

Ok drawing a blank but how do I get in the lovelace view all of the IOS devices I am tracking (phones of me, wife and kids) shows across the top where I can add a photo to the icon if needed? I cannot remember how to get it that way rather just in a entity card of some sort but wanted them to list across the top horizontally.

[wheat current]

badges in the view settings

[devout hatch]

anybody has a quick demo code how to show current version of HA in glance card?

should I create a sensor for it?

[latent tree]

@latent moss thank you. I'm embarrassed that I didn't do that. Sorry for the dumb question

[vapid field]

Anyone able to tell me why this card comes out as same color as my background? It has no color to it not even a border. https://pastebin.com/1jW6DxAL

I removed all - color: null changed it to -name: (names). and don't specify color same results

[vapid field]

@uneven flint ´´´ templates:
hs_color: >
if (state > 2500) return [0,100,100];
else if (state > 1500) return [60,100,100];
else if (state > 1000) return [240,100,100];
else if (state > 200) return [120,100,50];
else return [120,100,20]; ``

[uneven flint]

woo!

thanks! 🙂

[outer urchin]

is there a way to see all states an entity can have?

[unborn cedar]

I was wondering, am i able to multiple a outcome from a sensor? I my router (apparently) is a sensor, which returns kbytes/sec. I want that to Mbytes.

[mild veldt]

@unborn cedar use a template sensor

@outer urchin what type of device? you'd likely have to look at the integration's source code; I don't believe possible states is listed anywhere convenient

[outer urchin]

@mild veldt its weather.met_no. ye i figured, but it looks like it takes the state directly from their server

[unborn cedar]

@mild veldt I'll look into that! Thanks!

[mild veldt]

@outer urchin is the state typically the current condition?

[outer urchin]

yes

[mild veldt]

here's the typical weather conditions https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/blob/dev/src/panels/lovelace/cards/hui-weather-forecast-card.ts#L46

[outer urchin]

you´re awesome, thanks!

[mild veldt]

out of curiosity, what are you using them for?

[uneven flint]

so I put this in customize.yaml and still nothing ...

  templates:
    hs_color: >
      if (state === 'on') return [0,100,0]; 
      else return [200,0,0];```

it looks right to me. this template should follow the sensor even in a glance card, right?

[raven nacelle]

So, right now url can only be a special row right? I was hoping I could use it with existing entities, e.g., clicking on the commute sensor opens Google Maps

[uneven flint]

i have also tried rgb_color and icon_color. none of them work.

[mild veldt]

@raven nacelle we have a weblink url, but it is also a tap/hold action

as of 0.100

tap_action:
  action: url
  url_path: http://www.espn.com

[raven nacelle]

oh...totally missed that

let me try that

[mild veldt]

yeah, the changelog has not yet been published

[raven nacelle]

btw...it is so difficult to get to Lovelace docs on https://www.home-assistant.io/

I always google it 😉

[mild veldt]

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/10589/files

the docs are linked at the top of this chat as well. i'm not about to try to change the .io look

that's above my pay grade

[wheat current]

If it move now I will never find it

[raven nacelle]

that totally works 🎉

[latent moss]

you can get to the lovelace docs easily from within HA itself, the 3 dots menu in top right corner > help

[foggy tendon]

Is the custom:layout-card working good also if using !include views? It seems not at least for me... Same configuration but if using the !include file the custom layout doesn't work...

[dense thicket]

I have some custom entities on the front end, which work on phones and PC, but my fridge won't load them. Any idea as to why? (Samsung smart fridge, running Samsung Browser 2.0 on Tizen Linux) I'd guess it's a them problem. 😦

[dark dirge]

@uneven flint Do you have CustomUI installed? You'd need that installed for the code you posted to work

[uneven flint]

well, i thought i did. rebooting

[dark dirge]

check in dev tools->info and see if CustomUI is listed there

and you'll also need to wait for the value to change or manually refresh the entity to get the customization to update

or restart HA, so hopefully that'll work in this case

[uneven flint]

well shit, ill have to wait until i get out of the office. didn't come back online.

[icy patrol]

hey everyone - anyone using compact custom header?

having issues trying to get this feature working

  conditional_styles:     
    - entity: input_boolean.darkmode
      condition:
        state: on
      background:

when i turn on the darkmode boolean; nothing happens

[mild veldt]

well your background is blank...

[icy patrol]

i want my background to be blank - i have this for normal: background: transparent url("/local/backgrounds/33.png")

and when i turn on darkmode - i want the derfault

[mild veldt]

reread the docs; your templates must return a string

Background template must return valid background CSS color or image property: "#000000: or "rgb(255, 0, 0)" or "url("/local/background.jpg")" etc.

[stoic solstice]

Is there really no "text-only" card in lovelace? I only find suggestions on doing own custom cards for that...

[mild veldt]

@stoic solstice wat?

[wheat current]

markdown

[mild veldt]

like markdow ?

[stoic solstice]

checking...

Might work with that one, I'll give it a shot 🙂

Thanks

[icy patrol]

i have even followed the example

  conditional_styles:     
    - entity: input_boolean.darkmode
      condition:
        state: on
      button:
      menu:
        color: yellow

yet it does not do anything for conditional_styles:

maybe i have it in the wrong section

@icy patrol like I said earlier; I think you should reread the docs actually I wonder if your issue is the evaluation of state. Try with "on"

https://maykar.github.io/compact-custom-header/Conditional-Styling-Config/

[wheat current]

yaml is wierd

[icy patrol]

i will try with "on" and re-read this doc. I got all the options going except this one. thanks

[icy patrol]

"on" did it! thanks the doc mentions on with no quotes

thanks for your help

[polar kelp]

Take the opportunity @icy patrol

[icy patrol]

will do!

[mild veldt]

@polar kelp this is CCH docs

same concept applies though

[polar kelp]

Oh. I just react to any mentions of "the docs don't..."

[vapid field]

hey there, do i have a chance to change the color of an custom image in glance card by using lovelance-config-template card?

[polar kelp]

Should work

[vapid field]

Could you give me a hint what tag i have to use? This what i have so far: ````
card:
entities:
- entity: binary_sensor.leq0175072_state
image: >-
${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ?
'/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'}
- entity: binary_sensor.leq1060645_state
image: >-
${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ?
'/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'}
type: 'custom:hui-glance-card'
type: 'custom:config-template-card'

i am quite new to homeassistant...

[polar kelp]

Is the image option even in stable yet, Ian?

[mild veldt]

for an individual glance entity; you'd have to have a separate picture. Maybe you could use card-mod to do the nth item? I don't know that wizardry

image was added in 0.99

[polar kelp]

Right. I was thinking of the entities card.

[mild veldt]

yeah, should add that

[polar kelp]

I thought config-template went deeper. Good to know.

[mild veldt]

deeper?

like into the css?

[polar kelp]

Like usable for single entities. Or did I misunderstand?

[vapid field]

sorry, but i just do not understand what you mean. did i understand it right that changing the color is just possible with card-mod?

[polar kelp]

Changing the color yeah...kinda. Changing the image, not really.

[vapid field]

and changing the color of the icons?

[polar kelp]

sure

[mild veldt]

@polar kelp it is usable for single entities, it will continue to traverse so you could have it pretty high-level, but would probably not recommend that for performance reasons

[vapid field]

could you help me, where to put in which tag for coloring the icon. I tried with ````
card:
entities:
- entity: binary_sensor.leq0175072_state
image: >-
${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ?
'/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'}
- entity: binary_sensor.leq1060645_state
image: >-
${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ?
'/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' color: red : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'}
type: 'custom:hui-glance-card'
type: 'custom:config-template-card'

[mild veldt]

you won't be able to change the color with config-template-card

[vapid field]

hmmm. i thought i could use the color tag just by installing the card-mod. It´s really confusing for me - i am just to new to all this fancy stuff...

[mild veldt]

card-mod is a distinct card

[vapid field]

do you have a best practice for me how to change the color of an icon that is set by config-template

[mild veldt]

er, sorry I mispoke

you need to add the style option

I don't have any best practices for config-template-card. If you are using it, I would question your goals 🙂

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod#styling-entity-and-glance-cards

[vapid field]

thx i found that, too - but just do not know how i could put this in my code next to image: >-
${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ?
'/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'}

[polar kelp]

You'd have to find some way to change the color of a picture using CSS. Check out filter and hue-rotate. But as I said "yeah...kinda".

[mild veldt]

it's a separate item; you'd have to do the compare in the config-template-card to change the picture and then the compare in the style attribute which card-mod reads to apply color

[tulip mulch]

does anyone know how home assistant compiles all the persistent_notification messages into one list.. I would like to create a button on my Lovelace to go directly to the notifications list
nvm home-feed-card works perfectly

[slow wave]

@radiant drift to display it in the frontend you can use this for example as pointed out by @wheat current 😉 https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/weather-forecast/

[radiant drift]

awesome! that's my next step 🙂

[unborn cedar]

What CSS do i need to change to make the icons on lovelace bigger (in the header)

[vapid field]

I cannot get custom cards to work. Do I need an extra installation or is lovelace ready to accept custom cards?. I get No card type configured.
{
"cards": [
{
"type": "custom:garbage-collection-card",
"entity": "sensor.papier",
"icon_size": "35px",
"icon_color": "green",
"hide_date": true
}
]
} I did add resouce via the flat editor in lovelace: resources:

• url: /local/community/monster-card/monster-card.js
  type: js
• url: /local/community/garbage-collection-card/garbage-collection-card.js
  type: module

@vapid field you need to install it first.

[icy patrol]

is there a way to always have HA open with the sidebar minimized?

[latent moss]

@icy patrol on your profile page (last option of sidebar), there is an option for Always hide the sidebar

That's a device specific setting i believe. so you could have the sidebar showing on one device, and hidden on another device.

[icy patrol]

thanks Sean; but i would just like it to be minimized and not hidden. Was hoping there was a automation i could set to make it like that on all devices

[latent moss]

In the top left corner of sidebar there is an icon to collapse/minimize the sidebar. Once you do that it should remember the setting.

[icy patrol]

yes, it does for the one device only

if i move to a different device, it does not keep that option

[latent moss]

I see. It is device-specific, but you should only need to do it once per device and it will remember (at least it does here).

[icy patrol]

it does - was wondering if it can always remeber that on all device, even new ones

guess not..

[latent moss]

yeah no way of doing what you want unfortunately... i believe it works this way (device-specific) intentionally so that you can show the full sidebar on a desktop browser, and have it minimized on say a tablet that has less screen real estate.

[icy patrol]

makes sense, thank you

[latent moss]

[vapid field]

@polar kelp : I would like to us card-mod - but the card-mod.js file on github seems to be broken (it´s just one line, equal if raw or the normal mode). Could you have a look about it?

[timid burrow]

Some of them are compiled as 1 line. Nothing wrong with it. All kahlik's cards (mini graph and media) are like that as well

[vapid field]

Hmmm. For sadness it does not work and the Browser Console gives me a Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

[mild veldt]

@vapid field then you downloaded the file as HTML instead of the raw Js

[vapid field]

I checked it twice or more - all i can get is a file with just one line - even in raw

[timid burrow]

As I said that isn't necessarily an error

I just checked the repo and card-mod IS ONE line

[vapid field]

Hmm. I will try it again this evening

Thank you for helping

[timid burrow]

Ok

Just make sure you d/l in raw mode as Ian said

[polar kelp]

Yes. card-mod.js is one line. But that line is 7000 characters long. Didn't want to waste space with newline characters when they're not needed.

[timid burrow]

Hahaha... it's easier to read when you do though..

[polar kelp]

As you say, it's compiled down to as compact as possible. If you want to read it, the original source is there as well on github.

[timid burrow]

Ah.. good idea..

[viral sorrel]

I know there is https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/changelog/ for a changelog for releases.. but is there a specific place to look for changes that have been made since and might be coming in the next release? something not mixed in with the rest of the home-assistant commits

[devout hatch]

Anybody can suggest me how to implement checkconfig button?

            name: Check Config
            tap_action: 
              action: call-service
              service: homeassistant.check_config
            entity: switch.living_room_main_light
            color: auto
            icon: mdi:progress-check```

when I click it nothing happens?

I would like to have a spinning wheel and then to flash green or something

[tulip mulch]

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

don't know how you would verify though

[devout hatch]

@tulip mulch I am using button-card

I need some response

like config is ok

[tulip mulch]

you are using entity-button

you can fully customize everything on the custom:button-card

[devout hatch]

@tulip mulch, I know 🙂 but I need response from homeassistant.check_config

[tulip mulch]

you may need to template_sensor to grep confirmation message

with a timer to after a certain period of time to time out and show invalid

[devout hatch]

template_sensor?

how can I execute homeassistant_check_config in a template box in a developer settings?

[wheat current]

AFAIK you can't, there is a #551844176556457984 app and/or #609399695466430465 you can use

[tulip mulch]

@devout hatch there's probably an easier way but.. ```

• platform: command_line
  name: Check Config Errors
  command: "grep -ro 'YAML' /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/home-assistant.log | wc -l | xargs echo"
  unit_of_measurement: "Errors"
  scan_interval: 120```

that will atleast scan for YAML errors..

[devout hatch]

wow

🙂

thanks

[tulip mulch]

you'll have to setup a script (so when you press the homeassistant.check_config button) to be called on by an automation that will trigger an input_boolean to flag your back to the button within a certain time.. like i said.. there's got to be an easier way.. but i'm not sure how exactly

[polar kelp]

Do I recally correctly that the gui editor throwing away service-call data is a known bug?

[mild veldt]

@polar kelp should be fixed in 0.100

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pull/3773

[polar kelp]

Thought so. Thanks!

[icy patrol]

is there a way to add a picture background in a card?

[small pike]

Anyone know of a Lovelace card that will let me control a Lutron fan that has 4 speeds? I found a card in HACs but it only works for 3 speed fans

[vapid field]

Using vertical stack in a collection of cards. But the background color comes out as my top bar color. Where would I over ride this in the card? I have card-mod installed but can seem to override this one.

[small pike]

I am looking for something like this https://github.com/finity69x2/fan-control-entity-row

[prime jay]

Hello everyone, do you have an idea how I can add a random id at the end of the image uri in image card please ?

My problem is that the image is not load anymore due to my browser cache

(The image change every 30mn)

[wheat current]

The /local endpoint is not designed for dynamic content

There are some template cards you can probably use

If you have hacs or custom_updater you can use that as well

[polar kelp]

If you want a changing image I think you're better off making it a camera.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/local_file/

[prime jay]

Thanks for answers, I'll retry local file camera (I failed last time, I'll do it this time! )

Thanks 😀

@wheat current All files that are stored in www/ are in the "local" That you said, am I right?

• local (as you said)

[polar kelp]

correct

[prime jay]

Sry for my English

Okay, understood ;) thanks

[polar kelp]

But the file_pathfor the local_filecamera is the local path on your computer. Not the web path

[prime jay]

Yeah, I got it, thank you ;)

[main meteor]

How to change the theme of more-info?

[mint geode]

Someone seen a google nest hub max with home assistant cast? Does it have two or three columns of cards?

[vapid field]

hey there, for a few days i´m trying to change an icon and its color based on state. @mild veldt gave me some hints and for now i started usine lovelance-template-card and card-mod. My actual problem is that i could either coloring the mdi icon or change the mdi icon with a custom png. but i can not get both things work at a time. this is my code: ````
card:
entities:
- entity: binary_sensor.leq0175072_state
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color: red
}
image: >-
${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ?
'/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'}
type: 'custom:hui-entities-card'
type: 'custom:config-template-card'

could you experts give me another hint, where my error is...?

[unborn cedar]

wcard in a card?

[mild veldt]

@vapid field if you use imagethe icon element is no longer displayed. the image is set as the background image

[vapid field]

Hmmm. But if i use entity-picture my png is not Displayed.

[mild veldt]

that's not what I said

the image option sets the background of the state-badge. there is no paper-item-icon-color to set

if you use the icon option, then you can set that

otherwise, you'll need to set a filter or something to give a red tint to the whole element

[vapid field]

oh ok. i´ll have to try all this stuff 🙂 it´s really difficult for me as noob 😉

just to get it right. using this code gives me a red mdi icon : card: entities: - entity: binary_sensor.leq0175072_state style: | :host { --paper-item-icon-color: red } : >- ${states['binary_sensor.leq0175072_state'].state === 'on' ? '/local/cust_pic/fenster_off.png' : '/local/cust_pic/fenster_zu.png'} type: 'custom:hui-entities-card' type: 'custom:config-template-card'

[mild veldt]

yes, because your template is doing nothing useful now so it's just using the default icon

if you color is always going to be red, why not just make your picture red? I don't see that as part of your template

[vapid field]

good idea - but the code above is just for testing purpose. At the end the icon should be red if the state is on and green if the state is off

[short jetty]

Is there a way to get the little row of views at the top of the interface to show 2 (or 3) rows of cards instead?

I've been looking around at custom compact header a little, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that

[latent tree]

Is there a place that has many screenshots of the card options?

[mild veldt]

@latent tree the demo site?

[earnest blaze]

Can anyone tell me why this code throws an error?
type: entity-button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: light.turn_on
service-data:
entity_id: light.sofa_lamp
brightness: 200
show_icon: true
show_name: true
entity: light.sofa_lamp

[green raft]

What's the error?

For a start, service-data != service_data

It also looks like your indenting might be off.

[earnest blaze]

That's it, thank you. The error was that the service wasn't getting an entitiy_id. Because of the hyphen.

I've made a dark theme based on blenders 2.80 theme, but certain text is barely readable (in server control for example), anyone know how to fix this?

[atomic glacier]

@tropic pike That's usually due to the primary-color variable. I used a hacky work around here, but it is pretty much an all black theme:

!resouces linking only works in yaml mode, correct?

[mild veldt]

@outer urchin no

[outer urchin]

so if i go in raw-editor it should work?

[mild veldt]

yes

[outer urchin]

ok thx

[mild veldt]

@polar kelp what happens if I try to save? does everything blow up? 🔥

[polar kelp]

If you've always been in yaml mode, nothing.

If you sometimes switch between yaml and storage mode... I have no idea what will happen to your storage mode setup.

[mild veldt]

Such a simple and genius hack. Great stuff, thomas! I think it's a great idea for core to have this and we can just disable save if in yaml mode.

[lost wigeon]

is it possible to use the thermostat card to control blind position, setting a target position and seeing the current position move to it ?

[mild veldt]

the thermostat card makes climate service calls

@atomic glacier , how did you make your top bar a different color than the text?

[polar kelp]

@fading sorrel didn’t you ask for this? https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-gui-sandbox

[short jetty]

Is there a way to get the little row of views at the top of the interface to show 2 (or 3) rows of view-links instead?
I've been looking around at custom compact header a little, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that.

[fading sorrel]

@polar kelp 👍 It basically just sets the edit mode, right?

Yep it does

🙂

[mild veldt]

@short jetty CCH doesn't support rows of tabs. How many views do you have?

[short jetty]

I have ten views are "important" to me (different areas of the house) and then five that are less critical (basically just list of all the lights, all the switches, etc)

[mild veldt]

you're free to customize how you like, e.g. fork CCH or something, but creating multiple rows will look aesthetically-poor, IMO, is going to take up a good portion of vertical screen real-estate

[short jetty]

Yeah, I'm thinking a landing page with a list of views might be better

[mild veldt]

that sounds much cleaner

maybe even hide the view tabs to make it really clean

just have the single landing page in your row

[short jetty]

does lovelace just always choose the first view as the default?

[polar kelp]

Yes

[atomic glacier]

@tropic pike Actually, by accident, but it works 🤔. There is a comment by primary-color in the theme I linked

Has its limits though

[tropic pike]

@atomic glacier I saw the comment, but when i make that white, then the top bar turns white too, which kinda defeats the purpose of a dark theme. This doesn't seem to happen with your theme though..

well why not lol

Why not, indeed, @sour halo. https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/09/27/hacktoberfest.html

I realize that's not very clear, but it was meant as an invitation to change what you don't like.

lol i figured that much. but I think if I was that good, I wouldnt be asking so many dumb questions here.

[polar kelp]

There's no better way to learn. Believe me.

[split granite]

Ask questions, try stuff out, get it wrong some of the time

I'm still doing that myself, on more than just HA 😄

[sour halo]

lol

i still cant get it to work. Now I am getting a gui error

do i have to create a seperate lovelace yaml file?

just kidding got it to work

had to start from scratch, I was copying some stuff wrong

[short jetty]

is there a "nice" way to link to another view in Lovelace?

I see, apparently its action: navigate

[sour halo]

@split granite just saw your github page with your UI. it is impressive

[split granite]

Well, it's impressive because of the hard work of others

Floorplan is one of my favourite cards

It takes work to get right, but worth it IMO

[sour halo]

yeah, once i get everything setup, I might look into that

[prime umbra]

@polar kelp for some reason i cant seem to find the browser_mod.toast in services on developer tools

It seems I didn't actually make a release of that...

[prime umbra]

ohh

[polar kelp]

Try version 13

[prime umbra]

that was fast hehe

[polar kelp]

It's just clicking a button on github...

Don't know how I missed that

[prime umbra]

working perfect, thanks alot !

[atomic glacier]

@tropic pike That is why the comment says # <<---- DO NOT CHANGE # # # , but works with my theme. with all black

@polar kelp Did you see my post from this morning?( morning for me, lunchtime for you LOL)

[polar kelp]

Yeah. I'm out of ideas

[atomic glacier]

Doesn't seem to cause any issues, other than the error🤷🏻 Thanks for taking the time to look at it!

[glacial ledge]

@polar kelp any ideas for a card that has lights/switches that were on in the last few minutes? Like the lights currently on but including lights that were on but just went off.

[polar kelp]

It'll probably be a feature of whatever auto-entities .

[icy patrol]

Hi @polar kelp i have implemented your lovelace-toggle-lock-entity-row but i notice when i click on the toggle at the endge, it stills toggles the switch even though the lock is on.

[mild veldt]

@icy patrol known issue

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-toggle-lock-entity-row/issues/11

[icy patrol]

What are others using for toggle locks? Perhaps i can see what else is out there as well

[mild veldt]

@icy patrol you actually peaked my interest on this, I might be looking into adding some core functionality on this. We'll see

But, otherwise, the button-card has a good lock mechanism

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

[icy patrol]

thank you @mild veldt

[glacial ledge]

can someone help give an example for groups? I want to do what it says https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities#about-monster-card :

auto-entities can add all entities from a group
I tried https://pastebin.com/UwemPNKn but I don't really know where to start.

[mild veldt]

looking for general feedback on this idea of a card that blocks input to the card defined within until toggled/pin entered/confirmation dismissed/or just blocked all together:

type: restriction
restrictions:
  confirm:
    - user: ian
  pin:
    - user: wife
      code: 1234
  lock:
    - user: guest
  block:
    - user: kids
card:
  type: thermostat
  entity: climate.house

I thought about adding a show restriction, but sounded like a nightmare to try to perfect the look of your UI if you started employing that

[glacial ledge]

seems like it would be useful for things like climate and media players and some people have scripts and automations that do things that you dont want changed by mistake because someone didnt know what they were doing like water sprinklers or other automations.

the whole homeassistant how it is right now would sound like a nightmare in the begining before it evolved. Thing is as things evolve the use-cases become clear and what is needed/used is what ends up getting developed.

[icy patrol]

the thing i like about lovelace-toggle-lock-entity-row is the fact it just adds a lock to the existing row without having a new card allocated for the locked entity

so if you have a bunch of switches and you just want a few of them to have lock control - it adds that in its current location

[mild veldt]

my thought was that you could apply this to a row or element as well; not just a card

[elder pendant]

Is the entities card the only way to see a real time countdown of a timer?

[mild veldt]

yes, currently

button-card might support it actually; can't remember if that was added or not

yeah, button-card does display it, I think

https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card/pull/183

I would like to add it to badges/glance/entity-button...eventually

[elder pendant]

It would be really nice if it had its own gauge-like card to add a bit of a visual aspect to it

[mild veldt]

maybe

[upbeat sierra]

hey guys.

returned to HA after 6 months... updated to latest version... and my lovelace config now has weird X and Y axis scales/numbers.... any ideas why? https://i.imgur.com/90MM2vi.png
all these temps are around 20C range... but they are shown at 2-4 range in Y axis.... also this is 48 hours... but X-axis's legend is all weird... too much stuff displayed probably.

[atomic glacier]

@mild veldt lock card sounds interesting.... 💡 a popup keypad would be sweet 😉 to save UI space . Kinda like if someone clicks on a restricted card, the keypad popups up and if wrong code entered the screen goes into blackout mode..... 😜

[mild veldt]

won't be a keypad, but yeah

at least I don't know how to do that. gotta remember I'm just a C++ dev pretending to know frontend stuff 🙂

[atomic glacier]

@polar kelp have tried the Cookbook example for - this and scripts and nothing happens? Don't see any errors and several others have asked me the same thing because they can't get it to work either...
Am I missing something? Have tried on FKB and Chrome
EDIT:
Actually, this shows up, but not sure it's related:
webpack:////card-tools/popup.js?:28:14 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'close' of undefined

[glacial ledge]

@polar kelp how can I add all entities from a group using auto-entities?
say I have a group of lights and I want a card that has them all together. like what happens in states ui if you have a group.
can you give an example?

https://pastebin.com/UwemPNKn - this is how I imagine it to be, but its not.

[polar kelp]

I don’t remember clearly, but I think you need the full entity id of the group. group: group.night

@atomic glacier try manually clicking open a more-info dialog, close it and try again.

[glacial ledge]

ok thnx

[atomic glacier]

@polar kelp Tried on both browsers, no errors, no luck
EDIT:
See below

Okay, got it to work on FKB and Chrome on mobile.

        deviceID:
          - this

doesn't work, but deviceID: this does. 😉

[faint echo]

@atomic glacier Can you share your setup for that? I can't get that to work for me at all

[atomic glacier]

@faint echo sure, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SQJnN3MRY2/
I have converted 16 out of 54 mobile popups so far and tested on FKB and Chrome and haven't had any issues or errors.

[livid fox]

Hi all, I'm trying to optimize my lovelace UI with some foldable rows, thusfar it's been working great but I need one final little improvement and I can't really find how to do it.. I've made a foldable row of a group of lights. The head is the group itself and the foldable entities are the individual lights + colour temp.. It all works great .. but I would like to replace the boring temperature slider with a fancy one.. lemme get a screen shot

I wish to replace the 325K row

(Can I paste images or Imgur links here ?)

https://imgur.com/a/OrHFjCD

When I click to open a light or group, I get the fancy colour picker .. is there a entity row type for this ?

[polar kelp]

Not that I know of.

[errant plover]

@polar kelp Hey Thomas seeing that you are here, have you seen this? https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-gap-card/pull/2

[polar kelp]

Oh! Thank you. I will merge when I’m back at my computer.

[errant plover]

No probs. I thought PRs should alert you somehow but after waiting a week or so I figured probably not.

Also that gap card is a godsend. Thank you.

[unborn cedar]

Howdy! Is there a way to have a buttton card to open spotify app on my tablet?

For some reason I don’t get notified on prs, but I do on issues. Should probably look into that...

[faint echo]

@atomic glacier Still not working for me, no idea what is different between our codes -> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/93vhKcw53G/ It closes the popup window but the subsequent window never opens

[atomic glacier]

@faint echo have you got the Cookbook example working using deviceID: this ?
What type device are you using? I have only been sucessful with Android so far, but will be working on the others today, while I have some time.

@polar kelp a couple possible examples for cookbook...? 🤷🏻

Is there a way to use the entity_picture from a media_player as the state_image in a picture-glance card?

[half cairn]

Im trying to get this to work; https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-gauge-card/58880 and Im probably an idiot for not getting this to work... can someone help me with please?
I have gauge-card.js in my config/www folder, but my uit-lovelace.yaml is completely empty

Adding;
resources:

• url: /local/gauge-card.js?v=1
  type: js

to ui-lovelace.yaml doesnt seem to work, should i add it in raw editor instead? (I also have other resources: there)

[atomic glacier]

@half cairn good start --> https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins

[tacit cave]

@hearty plover make a generic camera: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic_ip_camera/ and use a template that grabs the image from the media_player in the still_image_url.

then use the camera in a picture-glance or picture-entity card

[hearty plover]

Brilliant, thanks!

[half cairn]

@atomic glacier Thanks! still confused though

I have the resources url's in my raw editor ' file', but i cant figure out where to put the configuration for the card.

The instructions say put it in my ui-lovelace.yaml, but i dont think thats being used, since its empty

and via Configure ui, add card I cant get it to work either..

[short jetty]

how do you make a remote entity show up lovelace?

@half cairn I would install HACS and go that route. It does everything for you, pretty much.

[half cairn]

I think I figured it out, always had the feeling something was off on my installation, turns out i had to put lovelace to yaml mode to be able to follow most install guides

Nope thats not it either... wtf i dont get it.. lol

I cant figure out where to put the config for the card.. 😦

[atomic glacier]

HACS is easy and most all documentation is up to date and clearly instructed on a per card basis. It also has a variety of cards, plugins and components available to choose from and it auto updates EVERYTHING for you 👍🏻

[split granite]

HACS FTW

[wheat current]

If it auto updates that is a bug @atomic glacier it should definitely not do that

[hearty plover]

"It allows you to easily update", how's that? 🙂

(moving camera Q to pertinent channel)

[atomic glacier]

@wheat current 😬 oops! Totally blew that one. I meant it makes it easier to update and keep track of all the good stuff. At least that's what I heard 🤔

[frank ocean]

Does anyone have an example of how I would change my smoke detector output from off to clear?

Hello guys. I have a small issue on lovelace. I have created a template sensor that adds 2°C to one of my temperature sensor. Then I try to add it to a lovelace history graph card that I have. The issue is that the template sensor is put in a different graph and the Y axis is in "degrees" and not in "°C" like the others

Here is my conf.yaml to create the template sensor

sensor:

• platform: template
  sensors:
  temperature_sensor_hue:
  friendly_name: "Temperature Sensor Chambre parents"
  unit_of_measurement: '°C'
  value_template: >-
  {{ states.sensor.capteur_chambre_temperature.state | float + 2 }}
  device_class: "temperature"

any ideas why it still displays "degrees" ?

[raven nacelle]

@proud carbon use device_class: temperature

[proud carbon]

@raven nacelle still the same. Do I need to do anything else than restarting HA to have lovelace update?

[raven nacelle]

how do the attributes look like for the sensor?

[proud carbon]

Here is the attributes of the template sensor in "devlopment tools" https://snipboard.io/I2Qum9.jpg

[latent moss]

@frank ocean check this page, it is device_class: smoke https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor/

[proud carbon]

and here is what happens on Lovelace https://snipboard.io/V2qf6h.jpg

[raven nacelle]

@proud carbon change it to unit_of_measurement: °C

[proud carbon]

@raven nacelle still not good 😦

[proud carbon]

actually, it's weird

it's working and not working at the same time. Schrodinger must be part of it

oh, I think I get it. as there is "historical data" it keeps a chart with the old "not working" data, and it now includes the good data along with the other graph

will check in 24h. Thanks mate

[latent tree]

Is there a way to make the cusotm upcoming media card smaller?

[atomic glacier]

@proud carbon I had the same issue a while back, but happened sporadically, decided to go the custom card route

[vapid field]

Is there a gallery somewhere with a bunch of lovelace examples to draw inspiration from?

[latent tree]

I enjoyed going through it!

Does anybody have a cool weather information page? I am looking for inspiration

[mild veldt]

@latent tree lots of people like to have a windy iframe

I kept mine simple https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-button-card/65981/2015?u=iantrich

Use browser_mod to then bring up a pop-up with windy and forecast info

[latent tree]

cool I will look into iframe

Right now I am trying to add as much stuff to lovelace as I can and then I will refine it all

[vapid field]

I have upgraded to the latest reelease of HA and now the switches for lights, power sockets are gone in the UI. If I do a fallback to 0.99.1 they are visible again. What could cause this issue?

In latest release it looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/Bm9fQ7e

In 0.99.1 https://imgur.com/a/Iq0zZ3p

[wheat current]

That's a custom card, look for open issues in the repository for it, there where some cahnges in this release that custom card devs need to adjust

It's allready fixed, just update that card

[sturdy quartz]

I am not a violent person, but HA is making me want to punch my monitor so hard...

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but lovelace either moves around text and mess up my configs, or it works until I want to edit something, then it gets messed up.

[wheat current]

UI editor sorts keys alphabetically

[sturdy quartz]

Right. So I'm just trying to add a custom card to lovelace. When I add the code through the raw UI editor, the card pops up and looks like it should. But as soon as I press "edit" on it, the card changes to red code and starts with "Custom element doesn't exist: xiaomi-vacuum-map-card.". But it does, and it worked until I pressed "edit"

[wheat current]

and you are using the UI and not lovalace-ui.yaml?

[vapid field]

@wheat current You're my hero. Thx, forgot that!

[sturdy quartz]

If you were asking me, @wheat current, then I am using the UI

[wheat current]

Works great for me 🤷

[sturdy quartz]

Well, okay then. I guess mine is too

[hexed moat]

is there a method to hide the switches on the webui for lights

so that smart lights only show the state, are dimmable and such
but you can't turn them off

getting some of these zigbee inwall switches soon

[hearty plover]

That sounds like it belongs in #330944238910963714

just kidding 😉

So a read-only indicator that tells you if it's on/off and dimmable, etc?

[hexed moat]

^^

Basically everything that a light entity offers

but without the ability to turn it on or off

since the status changes anyway when i turn of the xiaomi inwallswitch via zigbee

is there some yaml customization where i can just hide the toggles for single lights?

[hearty plover]

Are you using HACS and/or custom cards? If so, "Button Card" seems like it'd do the job.

[hexed moat]

haven't really done much on the ui side of things so far. any reading i can do on custom cards?

[hearty plover]

Or something like https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.template/ with "blank" turn_on / turn_off actions...seems like that might be a bit of overkill.

[hexed moat]

hmmm button cards look interesting

thanks for the hint

[hearty plover]

https://www.juanmtech.com/home-assistant-new-user-interface-and-ui-editor/ eventually gets to custom cards. Not sure if HACS requires yaml mode, but it's a great tool that acts as a repository of custom cards.

(https://hacs.netlify.com)

[wheat current]

Hacs does not care how you configure lovelace

[hexed moat]

hmm hacs seems to load for eternity when trying to add it via the integration page

hello there, I have a question about the cover tiles, when we click a cover control we get some details like a timeline and a bar to select the position 0% to 100%. Is there a way to add here some customer presets. Like adding a button that will set the position to a certain percentage?

[split granite]

With a custom card you can do anything...

[cloud vigil]

@split granite Great! I'm a beginner with HASS and Lovelace, can you point me to some doc o help me understanding how to achieve that?

[split granite]

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/lovelace_custom_card.html

[cloud vigil]

@split granite Ok well, I'm not a dev. And I would like to keep the standard Cover card, just adding some customer buttons to it. Do ou think I can find some help about this somewhere?

[vapid field]

where I can find google chrome deviceID for browser_mod?

[split granite]

Many folks who've created custom cards aren't devs, but the only way you'll get what you want is by trying yourself 🤷

[cloud vigil]

Can I find somewhere the code for the basic card? So I can try build on top of it?

[split granite]

It's all in the GitHub repository

[mild veldt]

@cloud vigil https://github.com/custom-cards/boilerplate-card

[devout hatch]

where I can find google chrome deviceID in a google chrome for browser_mod?

[polar kelp]

With a browser-player card, using the debug call, checking your sensors in dev-states...

@cloud vigil Official examples are here, btw: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/lovelace_custom_card.html

[devout hatch]

@polar kelp With a browser-player card, using the debug call, checking your sensors in dev-states is it for me or.. ? 🙂

[polar kelp]

yes

[devout hatch]

ok, I will check

for an half an hour I am trying to view it from settings..

[polar kelp]

Pro tip: You can apply filters to the dev-states list

[wheat current]

That's cheating

[devout hatch]

@polar kelp https://i.imgur.com/UzIDioi.png

I do not have any attribute with that name

Iput into my config browser_mod and I restarted HA

ok, I found it through F12 debugger 🙂

hmm I added browser_mod like this browser_mod: prefix: "browser_" devices: 7473de72-3333333: name: HAF Chrome but after restart I cant find light.<deviceid>, media_player..<deviceid>, sensor..<deviceid>

after hard reset of HA it works now..thanks

This looks very close to what I want to do : https://github.com/custom-cards/button-entity-row

You don't need to have it locally, there are services that allow you to reference GitHub files directly.

hey i have a small problem i wanna display a card for whe me and/or my Gf arent home to show our location so i found conditional but that only works if all the conditions are true so if one is home and the other one not the card wont show is it possible to make it that it shows when one of the devices isnt home ?
`

Where Are they

• type: conditional
  conditions:
  • entity: device_tracker.life360_nicolai_vds
    state_not: home
  • entity: device_tracker.life360_laurien

    show_header_toggle: false

    • device_tracker.life360_nicolai_vds
    • device_tracker.life360_laurien
      `

thats what i have atm

[atomic glacier]

@arctic thistle maybe 2 cards with 1 condition(person) on each card, then if either is not home it will display, ? or can be templated, but that involves more work, not sure

[arctic thistle]

@atomic glacier yeah but then whe we are both not home that will show 2 cards and thats a bit much 😒

Correct, show_empty: false https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bYyNG2wGZC/ at least i think,

@polar kelp did you add interception of more-info events to browser_mod and I am missing it?

few months ago when last time i checked it worked correctly, now it is just a blank page for grafana for example

@primal sandal nothing has changed in iframe that I can think of. Are you sure that both are http or https per the warning in the docs https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/iframe/

HTTP both

what else can affect it?

Verify that you can view your grafana link in another tab

it is working, i can view it in IE, chrome , FF

Hey guys im trying to get my lovelace-UI properly set. I am having trouble with the vertical and horizontal cards. Do I just make 3 vertical cards to have 3 columns?

anybody an idea what i am doing wrong?

i installed the custom card trough HACS

[upbeat sierra]

i am using lovelace in yaml configuration mode.... how can i bring the /states output into one of my panels?

I want it as my default view .... surely that should be possible?

[raven nacelle]

Lovelace does not use the previous configuration. You can recreate the view in lovelace

[mild veldt]

@thorny garnet work through the top pinned message in this chat

@upbeat sierra assuming you don't want to save your current lovelace view; you can delete your ui-lovelace.yaml, remove yaml mode from your configuration and delete .storage/lovelace. This will revert you to the auto-generated view which is almost identical to /states

[sturdy pendant]

layout-card is giving me weird issues with my tablet dashboard. On my PC it does show 3 columns but on my tablet it shows 2 columns.
I have cleared the cache also on the tablet, my phone shows one vertical column. Or maybe im doing something wrong.

While i have added this in the raw config editor:

That's because you are trying to hand a list of cards to a parameter named card

Coincidence https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace

Fun fact. I've at least twice been accused of "inventing" lovelace.

But I'm afraid you'll all have to blame Balloob for that one too...

Hahaha. I assumed it was named after her, but your custom cards are so prolific, there existed in my mind a tiny chance 🙂

Hi all

[hearty plover]

It was fun reading (or rather, attempting to read) about Ada in Swedish, thanks for the link 🙂

Anyone tips why this not work. I try to use toggle to execute my script, but not working.. if i use more-info i can click execute when new pop-up show up, but want that works just click to icon nothing more

https://pastebin.com/DXyFLnXD

if something else thats great if i can get icon to "state-icon" and give entity what give this icon realtime "state" (light bulb on when entity is on and light bulb off when entity is off)

[violet talon]

is toggle the correct action for the script?

[pastel valley]

old hass.io works with script and toggle ok

of course not get that state-icon what shows real state working, but toggle command working ok

of course my hass.io goes quite old i think 0.84version etc

and now just before started edititing my ui-lovelace.yaml i updated my hass-io newest version

100.2 etc

maybe change your entity to your light bulb?

is icon a custom lovelace card?

[polar kelp]

It's not yaml tap_action: toggle
It's yaml tap_action: action: toggle

Also, note the difference between https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#icon-element
and https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#icon-representing-an-entity-state

[pastel valley]

[elder pendant]

You want to get rid of the red outlined areas?

Has anyone had experience using button-card with the browser-mod popup? I'm getting some funky formatting.

https://i.imgur.com/vLXWxy5.png this is what it looks like in a view, and this is the same card config in a popup https://i.imgur.com/qw2Y5gc.png

  - type: custom:button-card
    entity: timer.first_timer
    show_state: true
    show_icon: false
    show_name: false
    styles:
      state:
        - font-size: 100pt

[pastel valley]

@elder pendant yeah want that red outlined areas off. Get more display area just my floorplan

[elder pendant]

The left-hand drawer can be completely collapsed in your user settings. (click your initial in the bottom left corner and turn on "Always hide the sidebar")

The header can be shortened or disabled using the custom component "compact custom header"

[vapid field]

Hello. Can you tell me how to turn back automated generation of UI ? I've clicked tripple dot menu, it warned that manual edit will prevent automated generation but I'd like to turn it back on - sorry I couldn't find that bit of info anywhere

[elder pendant]

stop home assistant, delete the file <your-config-directory>/.storage/lovelace, start home assistant

[vapid field]

Thank you @elder pendant !

[hearty plover]

Thanks for mentioning "compact custom header", looks neat!

[smoky jacinth]

@small pike How did you get your Lutron fan speed switch to show up at all? I can't seem to get that and me having them in Luron causes the states of the light switches to not be maintained.
Anyone else know how to fix the Lutron fan speed switch issue?

[static cloud]

Is there a way to completely hide the sidebar for specific users.

[elder pendant]

hiding the sidebar is per device, not per user. Though you should be able to accomplish that using compact custom header with some user exceptions

[static cloud]

i will try thanks

[elder pendant]

kiosk_mode sounds like the setting you're looking for

[static cloud]

i would still need the header section though

sidebar_closed is no longer available

[elder pendant]

it's just named differently

disable_sidebar

[static cloud]

ah thanks for that

[elder pendant]

Well it's probably a different thing under the hood, but it should be the same result

[slender temple]

hey people of the lovelace channel!

i have a weird issue

[hearty plover]

You need to include the service_data

[split granite]

And this time ...

[kind shell]

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

Command '~share' was invoked by: Tinkerer

[slender temple]

this card here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vVh7kzkCsN/

seems to affect every counter in my system

[hearty plover]

It doesn't assume that you're trying to do anything to that entity.

So you're sending the "increment" service without a target...not surprising that it's affecting the entire system.

(string)(Optional)

Service data to include (e.g. entity_id: media_player.bedroom) when action defined as call-service

Default value:

none```

[slender temple]

ohhhh im an idiot. assumed it would affect the entity on the button, not have to be defined seperately

i got it

thanks!

[hearty plover]

I'm not as nice as @elder pendant , so I'll allow you to call yourself an idiot 😉

[slender temple]

thanks for helping @hearty plover

[hearty plover]

You're very welcome, glad to be able to help!

[polar kelp]

Showcase: auto-entities + card-mod

[split granite]

Enough of the eye candy damn you!
shakes fist

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to check HACS to see if those are in there...

[polar kelp]

Auto-entities isn't yet.

[split granite]

Given how many pints I'm in, that's probably a good thing

[hearty plover]

What does auto-entities actually do? I guess I'm still newb enough that this looks like something that could be done with vanilla HA...

[polar kelp]

It populates the entities: list of another card automatically based on a number of criteria.

[hearty plover]

Ah, so what we'd have to manually enter now, can eventually be automatic. Neat!

[kind shell]

@polar kelp posted a message that is too long, it is moved here --> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/F8MpnpSqFS/

[polar kelp]

Hate when it does that... (...to me. I like when it does that to others)

[hearty plover]

Nice

[polar kelp]

      - type: custom:auto-entities
        card:
          type: entities
          title: Batterier
        filter:
          include:
            - attributes:
                device_class: "battery"
              options:
                secondary_info: entity-id

                style: |
                  {% if state_attr(config.entity, 'unit_of_measurement') == "%" %}
                  :host {
                    --paper-item-icon-color:
                      {% if states(config.entity)|float < 25 %}
                        red
                      {% elif states(config.entity)|float < 40 %}
                        orange
                      {% else %}
                        var(--text-light-color)
                      {% endif %};
                  }
                  {% endif %}

[hearty plover]

What does ":host" do?

[polar kelp]

That's CSS: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod#styling-entity-and-glance-cards

[hearty plover]

Danke

Basically, that means "ignore", since CSS hates me 🙂

[viral sorrel]

I just installed hacs and then trhe mini-media-player card but I can't figure out how to actually add a card.. when I try manual card and specify it as "type": "custom:mini-media-player" it tells me "Custom element doesn't exist: mini-media-player." even after a shift-refresh

[hearty plover]

You still need to add it to the header of ui-lovelace.yaml

[viral sorrel]

oh I thought that was now automatic?

[polar kelp]

https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins

That's the one thing hacs can't do (yet)

[viral sorrel]

just so I don't screw everything up.. is there a subset of that I need to do or all of it?

[elder pendant]

With config splitting making that automatic could be challenging

[hearty plover]

Sometimes I install plugins with HACS that I don't want to add yet, so I'm okay with it being a manual process (in case Ludeeus is listening 😉 )

[polar kelp]

@viral sorrel You probably just need step 3

[hearty plover]

It's in ui-lovelace.yaml...can you split that?

[elder pendant]

Yes

[polar kelp]

absolutely

[elder pendant]

My entire lovelace config is split into various views and cards

[hearty plover]

Hmmm. Using the !include syntax?

[polar kelp]

It could be added automatically in storage mode, but I think you'd need to log in to your hass instance from inside the hacs panel.

Yes. The entire !include family of commands work.

Like !include_dir_merged and everything

[hearty plover]

Nice. I guess I just didn't think about it.

[viral sorrel]

there we go.. awesome

[polar kelp]

Changes to !included files won't be discovered automatically by lovelace, but Three dots -> refresh will pull them in.

[viral sorrel]

now I can get rid of those blights with huge smudgy cover art from my sonos speakers

how the hell does rearranging work? 😛 I tried sending something "up" thinking it would eventually make it's way to the left column and to the top... but it seems to jump back to the end

[polar kelp]

Hey @split granite. We're missing a three-dots emoticon! mdi:dots-vertical

[split granite]

🤔

[viral sorrel]

it seems some lovelace cards control their own position while others can be rearranged? like there's two sets of rules

[polar kelp]

I could explain how the sorting works, but I need to sleep, and it wouldn't help you anyway.

[slender temple]

@viral sorrel i get the same thing. only way to avoid it is to declere the columns you want as vertical stacks and put things exactly where you want them (for me anyway)

[polar kelp]

Basically, cards are added one at a time, starting from the top left, and moving over to the next column once the first one gets long enough. After that, it picks the shortest column.

[hearty plover]

Check out layout-card...it allows you to arrange things as you please. Once you understand how to use it, at least.

[polar kelp]

The arrows changes their position in the queue. Not on the page.

[viral sorrel]

yes that's fine.. but explicitly moving them up or down does not have the expected result

queue? hmm. is that defined by the actual position in the lovelace file?

[polar kelp]

yes

[slender temple]

it would be better to avoid the "after that it picks the shortest column" bit imo 🙂 but i'll check out the layout-card - thanks for the tip

[split granite]

@polar kelp

[viral sorrel]

that's not in hacs by default right? I just get horeshow card if I search for layout 🙂

lol.. I love the diagrams with the arrows.. it's like a puzzle 🙂

[hearty plover]

Correct, it's not in HACS (yet?): https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card

[polar kelp]

Awesome! ->Refresh

yet

[hearty plover]

Hmm...doesn't look like HACS supports dependencies, so layout-card might be more difficult than others.

[viral sorrel]

are lovelace cards considered Plugins?

[polar kelp]

I call them plugins, because they are not always cards.

@hearty plover Nah. Almost all of my cards have required card-tools. I'm in the process of removing that dependency, and add them to hacs one by one when they are updated.

There's no official name for cards/entity rows/elements, I guess...

[viral sorrel]

I left it as the default "integration" in HACS and it didn't like that.. then I did a reload and have to wait.......

[hearty plover]

    type: js

[viral sorrel]

I got

2019-10-16 07:32:55 ERROR (MainThread) [hacs.api] Validation for thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card failed with GitHub returned 404 for https://api.github.com/repos/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card/contents/custom_components.

[hearty plover]

@polar kelp Hope that doesn't mean you're violating DRY instead 😉

[viral sorrel]

Background task running, this page will reload when it's done... how long can it possibly take? 😛

[polar kelp]

Not from my end. But the end user could be loading the same code twice or more, unfortunately...

[viral sorrel]

it's been 12 minutes

[mossy gale]

Hi everyone, rebuilding my system from scratch. Almost there now, is there an issue with the mini-graph-card on 0.100.2?

Mine all state "custom element doesn't exist", even though its in the ui-lovelace etc

im sure im being a numpty

[polar kelp]

More showcase: layout-card. Same view shown on three devices with different screen width (not to scale).

@mossy gale Start with this list: https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins#common-problems

[mossy gale]

im being an idiot @polar kelp

my machine been offline a week or more, looks like the url has been changed from my previous config to include -bundle.js at the end!

gosh and darn

yep, that fixed it! FFS!!! From now I am not assuming things don't change in the space of a week or so

now i can goto bed without fretting

[viral sorrel]

it seems I can't add the layout-card via HACS

Could not add 'thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card' with type 'plugin' at this time.
If you used the correct type, check the log for more details.

Integration didn't work last time

is github broken at the moment or something?

[elder pendant]

Works for me

[viral sorrel]

what specifically works for you?

[elder pendant]

pulling, pushing, viewing repositories online

What is not working for you?

[viral sorrel]

adding a repository to HACS

[elder pendant]

The repository has to follow HACS guidelines for it to work

[viral sorrel]

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

[elder pendant]

That's a good example of a repository that does not follow the HACS guidelines

Oh wait no it should theoretically work if I'm reading the docs correctly

let me try to add it

Works fine for me when I added it

[viral sorrel]

won't work here

2019-10-16 07:32:55 ERROR (MainThread) [hacs.api] Validation for thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card failed with GitHub returned 404 for https://api.github.com/repos/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card/contents/custom_components.

[elder pendant]

What version of HACS are you running?

[viral sorrel]

current.. 0.15.7

[elder pendant]

I'm on 0.15.5, so 🤷 don't know why it would work for me and not you

[viral sorrel]

well I guess something either got fixed or broken :/

what happens when you go to https://api.github.com/repos/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card/contents/custom_components ?

[elder pendant]

I get a json object:

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-contents"
}

[viral sorrel]

same.. but weirdly lovelace-card-tools works but gives the same message

[elder pendant]

I think that error is from trying to add it as an integration though

[viral sorrel]

I tried both integration and plugin

[elder pendant]

It's not an integration, so there is no reason to try that

[polar kelp]

All my plugins follow the guidelines, because they defined them...

[viral sorrel]

how can I debug this?

Could not add 'thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card' with type 'plugin' at this time.
If you used the correct type, check the log for more details.

[polar kelp]

Man, I sound entitled... but it’s true.

[elder pendant]

Yeah that was my bad, I misread the guidelines

I forgot about the lovelace- not being necessary in the js file

[viral sorrel]

log shows nothing unless I choose integration and then it's not supposed to work.. so.. plugin just gives the error in the ui while trying to add

guess I can try restarting home assistant..
