The UI can all be done in the UI, but everything else is more "mix and match"

Is there anyway to hide/show a whole card based on condition?

Yes
The name of the card even drops a strong hint 😉
It's worth taking a moment to browse the handful of stock cards

Im using it but can it really hide the whole card?

Hi, Im playing with homeassistant few weeks, great project, thank you! There is just one thing I cant figure out how to fix... Charts - for dome reason all of them have unreadable values on both axis, screenshots: https://data.dread.cz/index.php/apps/gallery/s/K44JPJrDBSs5iM2
does anybohy have an idea why? @split granite noticed that it may be because of too many datapoints... Data comes from esp devices, some of them using esphome (for example that one called "antminer termostat" on screenshot g01.png), some of them are sending data over mqtt (for example on screenshot thermo1hr.png), but generally all graphs in my homeassitans suffer with this
split granite
It might be worth looking at https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card - I use that instead of the stock graph cards
vapid field
or is there a way how to delete the history?
split granite
Stop HA, delete the database file, start HA
All history will be gone at that point
vapid field
ok I can try to backup that file (or rename)

Is there a way to tell the default lovelace config to not display cards for Areas? I like using the default autogenerated view but find that while not all entities support area, I end up needing to split my configuration between the old groups.yaml and the new areas, and it just looks awful 😦 I'd like to set new Areas as integrations are updated, but actually use the old groups.yaml until I'm fully able to migrate away from it... Thanks
split granite
Don't use groups...
heady ocean
As things stand I get double groups - one for the new area and the second for the old groups.yaml
split granite
See above 😉
If you're using the auto-generated view then that's the only option
Alternatively, just take control
heady ocean
If I don't use groups, then everything that doesn't support areas ends up dumped together in "No area"
vapid field
@heady ocean I stopped using autogenerated view as not all support areas
vapid field
I agree that it was helpfull to get started
heady ocean
beh. Last time I took control (waaay pre-lovelace) I ended up waking up to massive amounts of junk that had accumulated... I guess I'm still a bit traumatized by that :/

The old states view has pretty much nothing in common with Lovelace

tidal raft
Hello all, any recommendations on the best lovelace setup guide?
mortal cape
@tidal raft it's setup by default. You just need to make choices. First is whether you want everything added automatically or not. If you want to take control over how things are laid out, you need choose to do that.
The three dots in the upper right.
After you take control you'll be able to go into edit mode in the ui using the same three dots
tidal raft
really its that easy. What are these videos about then. creating a ui-lovelace.yaml files
mortal cape
That's the next choice after UI edit mode
Where you take complete control, there is no editing through the UI, and you are only using text files (yaml)
tidal raft
i need to able to make custom panel for multiple touch screens
mortal cape
I suggest living with UI edit mode for a few weeks
mortal cape
There's no one way to do that, but you'll definitely want to move beyond the automatically managed mode for that
tidal raft
there is NO WAY to do that?
mortal cape
no ONE way
There are multiples paths to what you are describing
Some simple, some elaborate
Start small. Just take control. learn how to make it show what you want first. Then you can get that to wall mounted tablets
tidal raft
end the end i will have 3 touchscreen around the house for control. Also one here in my computer run. End the I will want diffrent UIs for each
mortal cape
You can have multiple tabs/views...each view can be whatever you want. So each touchscreen could simply be showing a different view
I threw some red dots up there on some of mine
All your touchscreens need is a browser to be able to reach your server page
tidal raft
yeah i understand that part
mortal cape
And some people use fullykiosk browser or other apps I am not familiar with...but like I said, lots of ways to go about it
tidal raft
need just a broswer
well at these control pannel the Pi will have sensors and preform other fumction to.

@mild veldt I just check the attribute in dev tools and the are showing the this sensors have not been tripped in 24 hours which is not accurate at all. The motion sensors are zwave device connected to a vera controller, which is accurate showing the last time a door was opened
What do I do now?
mild veldt
Log an issue in the cards repo
feral rivet
I have seen thisupdater: reporting: false in a lot of config.yaml files , but it's not something I have in mine, could this be a factor. So not to challenge your wisdom here but if the attributes section in Dev tools is also not reflecting appropriate on/off times is that not a bigger issue than the card?
feral rivet
@mild veldt I am planning to wall mount a 10 in tablet for use in the house , can i hide all the tabs left of the various cards so that it requires a pin to access them? I don;t want unknown hands messing with things.
mild veldt
Not directly, views don't have pins, but you can hide them.
If you want that I would
- Use custom header kiosk mode
- Create a nav panel at the top of each view that links tothose views
- Use my restriction-card to add pin requirements to each button
vagrant ivy
I'll weigh in with an idea... have the RPis that are driving the displays that you say will have sensors on them send all sensor data to the HA server, while simultaniously have a browser in kiosk mode on each that uses one Home Panel url for each customized panel. You can customize the panels to no end including creating custom Applets in AppDaemon. This approach would be pretty straight forward and completely abstracts each RPi's frontend away from HA's default frontend.

@mild veldt I can control white value (I think) from the slider on the light entity card. what I'm trying to figure out is the parameter name and values are that are being passed to the light so I can replicate those values in an automation
mild veldt
Is it not just white_value?
livid oracle
Hi guys, are there any tutorials or best practises to set up 3 presentations for lovelace? Mobile, Desktop and Tablet?
odd light
you can make a different view for each
mild veldt
Too variation in people's tastes for a "best practice"
livid oracle
Yes I suppose thats true.... so if I have 10 views I will need to make 30
10 for each device
I was hoping I could do themes to manage positioning lol
Can lovelace manage all CSS functionality? So sliding menus like we do on a typical web page?
odd light
kinda why I still just have cards, they morph to fit every screen
livid oracle
Well I am trying to replicate my control4 UI, I really think they nailed the experience with the latest release, however was we know they are a closed book and super $$$$ so I have decided to replace C4 with Home Assistant, so I am just keeping the wife happy with keeping the UI close to the same.
ancient harness
What's the UI like?
My buddy works for c4, I should give him a call and touch base
I haven't read through it, but this looked interesting https://community.home-assistant.io/t/a-different-take-on-designing-a-lovelace-ui/162594

hey guys, I am looking to customize my wall mounted tablet and @mild veldt has provided me a starting point using custom header. That said I want to limit a UI to either a user group or device. Is that possible? Where do I start?
junior grail
Hi everyone. I'm trying to customize the view of my HassIO installation. Lovelace seems to be installed by default, but how do I customize it? I tried making a ui-lovelace.yaml file but it's not working
livid oracle
@ancient harness I like it easy to use and quite flexible to change with favorites etc.
ancient harness
which, c4 or that HA link i posted?
livid oracle
google control4 OS3
C4 I was referring too
I am just going over yout link
I do like what I see in your link
placid spade
Hey everyone. Complete noob here. When i create a new "view" or tab in overview and start adding cards, they all are listed in a centre column and not tiled like the Home view. Is there a way to have it follow the same style of layout?
mild veldt
@feral rivet custom header can help with that or the visible option for views
@junior grail from the UI just go to the top right menu and select Configure to take control of the ui
@placid spade they will expand to other columns as you add more. If you want full control, checkout layout-card
placid spade
Thanks for the quick reply. I will check out layout card.
feral rivet
@mild veldt So should I create my other user accounts and then start editing the ui in each of them of can I do that from my admin account and then when they log in as the defined user they only see their UI?
ancient harness
this makes my eyes bleed: https://github.com/matt8707/hass-config/blob/master/ui-lovelace.yaml
for the love of god, who thought it was a good idea to put all of this in a config?
mild veldt
@feral rivet only admin accounts can edit the UI
feral rivet
got it, but will the result cascade down. will the different customization be applied only to specific users or devices? I just don't want to have people messing with items in the sidebar.
something sorta like this https://community.home-assistant.io/t/a-different-take-on-designing-a-lovelace-ui/162594

Is there an easy way to have more information pop up for a sensor when it's clicked on?
I have a rest sensor that pulls the weather advisories
but it just puts something like Wind advisory
I'd like to get all the details when I click on it
I was going to make a second sensor that pulls the full advisory
livid oracle
HI, can I use a vertical-stack-in-card with a conditional card?
ancient harness
huh... i rather liked the check slider light card vs this gigantic thing
polar kelp
@livid oracle Yes. Almost everyhting can be used with almost everything.
With the exception of some old custom cards, which can't wrap other custom cards... but they are few and far between nowadays
livid oracle
OK thats great
dense lynx
Are there any value mapping capabilities for the UI? For example, a sensor's state might show true or false but I want to show "on" and "off" in the UI.
livid oracle
I am trying to wrap the conditional card into a fold entity row and the stack in, I got the stack in working but struggling with the fold entity row and the conditional.
cannot read property 'split'
polar kelp
Getting the stack into a conditional shouldn't be a problem. It's just like any other card - indent it an extra step.
livid oracle
I have seen that before hmmmmmm
polar kelp
Getting a card into fold-entity-row is harder, because it expects a row, not a card.
livid oracle
ahhhhh
polar kelp
So you'll need to pretend it's a "custom" row, and use the lovelace-internal type, which is custom:hui-conditional-card
polar kelp
livid oracle
Oh thats nice... I will try this... I can use that else where too 🙂
This goes before the fold or after it? "type: custom:hui-glance-card"
type: 'custom:hui-conditional' says it doesn't exist.... from reading the docs I think I got that right?
Got it! Needed to add card!
Awesome! Thanks Thomas!
Its like a shoe horn! LOL
polar kelp
You have to remember things aren't meant to be used this way...

@dense lynx you probably just need to set the device_class
velvet bloom
Hey Hey folks, wonder if anyone can help me customise a badge, so it doesnt show the date, and only shows the time
mild veldt
@velvet bloom create a template sensor
velvet bloom
Thanks Ian, but how do i do that?
velvet bloom
I was already on this page here, but still a little unclear
polar kelp
Start with the second one, but read all of them. It's an awesome tool to have in your box
polar kelp
You probably want this one: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/ And set the value_template
velvet bloom
The thing is the value returned from the ring sensor seems to be date T Time
polar kelp
polar kelp
That will be a timestamp object, so you should be able to {{ state_attr('sensor.front_door', 'created_at') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom("%H:%M") }}
You can try it in 
->Template
velvet bloom
Sorry i dont really understand
could you show me using hastebin what i should be doing?
slow wave
@sturdy bough lovelace visible I use https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/views/ https://github.com/atxbyea/HA-Config/tree/master/ui-lovelace
velvet bloom
@polar kelp any chance you can help a bit further?
polar kelp
Does the template I suggested work?
velvet bloom
erm, i am not really clear how to create it using the snippit you sent
polar kelp
I mean in the templats editor under dev-tools. Does this work for you:
velvet bloom
Ah ok
i didnt realise thats what you meant
can i just remove what i have there now?
polar kelp
yeah
velvet bloom
Do i need to save it or anything?
just restart the server?
I put your code in there (removed what was there), and restarted HA, but no change
Oh wait i noticed you had {{ state_attr('sensor.front_door', 'created_at') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom("%H:%M") }}
polar kelp
Let's move this discussion to #330944238910963714 where it belongs
velvet bloom
When i think it should be {{ state_attr('sensor.front_door_last_activity', 'created_at') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom("%H:%M") }}
The sensor name was wrong.
Ok happyt to move there
so templates on the right now shows the time....
well, it shows a time, its not actually now
dense lynx
@mild veldt That's what lovelace uses to select an icon? Which device_class'es exist? I could find https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/#device-class but it only tells for which components it is supported.
mild veldt
Click on whatever domain you have in that list and it will show the available options

Hey everyone
does someone here has experience with using an ipad 2 as a HA dashboard?
worldly seal
Hi guys! Newbie here 😩 I was sent here from the HACS Discord. I'm adding my first custom card to Lovelace with HACS, Weather Card (the one with animated icons). Installed plugin successfully, (I think I added it correctly ->) copied to code to the right place. Restarted Hass. UI only giving me "entity not available: weather.yourweatherentity". I've looked around without finding a solution to my problem but I know it's something silly I'm missing.
Code I pasted in lovelace:
resources:
- url: community_plugin/weather-card/weather-card.js
type: module
views:
- badges: null
cards:
- type: custom:weather-card
entity: weather.animatedweather
name: animated weather
icons: "community/weather-card/icons/"
``` Is there something simple I'm missing?Is that the actual error?
The card says weather.animatedweather for the entity
The message says weather.yourweatherentity
worldly seal
sorry I changed it😑 ! error now says: "Entity not available: weather.animatedweather"
mild veldt
well is it?
wheat current
Is it?

Does that entity exist in -> States?

alpine dagger
@mild veldt , didn't work T_T

Hey everyone. Apologies if this has already been asked. Just updated to 0.104.0. I previously had some groups defined (in groups.yaml) containing lights for specific rooms. After the update the icons are now enormous and not part of the groups in the UI. Any idea why? Not talking about the default groups that were removed in the update.
alpine dagger
what am i doing wrong with this one?:

@balmy cave I'm having a hard time following what you're saying
a picture would probably explain better
kind shellBOT
balmy cave
Sorry @mild veldt let me try again. I updated to 0.104.0. I previously had groups defined in groups.yaml that grouped together entities like lightbulbs for specific rooms. They showed up in a group in the UI. Now they're not in the group and are just enormous. Ok let me send you a pic.
mild veldt
@alpine dagger would have to know your error, first. config looks fine at a glance
hmm, I think paulus did remove something from the automated view...will have to check
wheat current
Config is missing the service
mild veldt
ah, yeah. move it out of service_data
balmy cave
Here's a good example. These two Office_Fan lights were previously all under the Office heading. Like this: https://imgur.com/a/jLCAsug
alpine dagger
right so that seems easy to fiddle with now
mild veldt
@balmy cave I was thinking of this https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pull/4487, unrelated to you
balmy cave
Only lights seem to be doing this. This group which contains no lights works fine. https://imgur.com/a/5WmzPQU
Hope those images make more sense. Every single light entity became enormous and isn't in a group in the UI anymore. The actual group defined in groups.yaml does still work.
mild veldt
Looks like that was a change made by @winter hollow https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pull/4356/files#diff-da786a038dac2fd7c1e24c0a92c95a4bR135
balmy cave
You referring to me on this one?
mild veldt
yes
balmy cave
Sorry, are you saying the change is by design?
mild veldt
I thought if in a group it ignored that logic though...
No, I don't think so, not if you have it in a group
If you had no groups defined, then yes, that is by design
balmy cave
Let me try to remove and then re-add the group.
Nope. Didn't fix it. Ahh this makes the UI almost unusable.
alpine dagger
So if i look into Dev Tools -> Service it gives me a list of services...
WebOsTV isn't there... does that mean i've not installed it correctly?
wheat current
Yes and no
alpine dagger
🙂 and 😦
wheat current
If 104, you did not do it correctly, if other, it does not exist
balmy cave
Seems this person (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/cant-create-a-group-with-lights/163992) has the same issue @mild veldt (at least I think so).
mild veldt
@balmy cave you can also always take control and tweak it how you like
But would suggest you file a bug report on the repo https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&template=bug_report.md&title=
balmy cave
Configure UI you mean? I haven't done that yet.
That's a good idea. I'll file the bug report. I may end up going back to the previous version I was on since this is pretty annoying. Hopefully it's just as simple as restoring the snapshot I took before the upgrade.
alpine dagger
Well this is exciting new update!
worldly seal
@split granite I can't find any mention of animatedweather entity in >states
balmy cave
FYI - I added the bug report @mild veldt - thanks for the idea. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues/4491
I'll hang out at this version for a bit to see if it can be fixed. I can't be the only one with this problem.
mild veldt
Likely not, but should be your push towards taking control of the UI and customizing it @balmy cave 😜
balmy cave
@mild veldt Ha, I know I know. Not sure why I'm not to be honest.
mild veldt
do it 🙂

Anyone with experience with floorplan . Can’t figure out why it’s not working
balmy cave
I didn't know you could go back actually. You're saying I can do Configure UI and then if I don't like it and do the remove (as per the link you just sent) it'll just go back to the default as it is now?
wheat current
yes
balmy cave
Well I suppose I can try that then.
Thanks @wheat current!
Hahahaha
I did it. They're back in a group but the enormous icons are still there. I have to delete them manually.
Wow this is better. Why did I wait so long to do this? 🙂

Hey everyone, I hope my question is alright to ask. I am trying to change the following:
secondary_info: '[[ if(binary_sensor.wyzesense_00000000.attributes.battery_level < 90, "Below", "Above") ]] the horizon'
the 'if' to something like
'[[ if(binary_sensor.wyzesense_00000000.attributes.battery_level < 90, "<b style='color:red'>[[ binary_sensor.wyzesense_00000000.attributes.battery_level ]]</b>", "Above") ]] the horizon'
where I change the codeblock to highlight it red.
Any tips?

I'm trying to get an iframe card to show up in Lovelace. This one card is in the UI Config code for a tab:
- badges: []
cards:
- aspect_ratio: 75
type: iframe
url: 'https://embed.windy.com'
icon: 'mdi:weather-windy-variant'
panel: false
path: weather
title: Weather
I don't see the card. I'm using Home Assistant 0.104.0. I'm interested in guidance on what direction to take: 1) is the UI Config editor not a good idea to use? 2) Would moving to a lovelace-ui.yaml file work better? 3) Is there something wrong with the card definition?
odd light
just updated to 104, lovelace is gettin pretty sweet, you can do so much when you add a new entity
can I use the camera entity card for a camera and have it only stream when I tap on it?

@odd light camera entity card?
@hasty sparrow use UI editor unless you need advanced yaml features like anchors
kind shellBOT
mild veldt
@urban otter try double quotes for style
odd light
@mild veldt there's a camera entity card?

I got it to work as follows:
secondary_info: 'Battery:[[ if(binary_sensor.wyzesense_00000000.attributes.battery_level > 20, , <b style="color:red">) ]] [[ binary_sensor.wyzesense_00000000.attributes.battery_level ]]%'
mild veldt
no worries, so yeah, you just need the tap_action to be more-info and you'll get your stream
which should be the default
so don't actually need to define it
pallid needle
Is there a way to specify what shows up in the popup when you tap a sensor?
I have a rest sensor that pulls data from the weather service
mild veldt
@pallid needle yes with browser_mod
pallid needle
and I'd like additional details when tapped
I'll look at that
thanks
That looks like overkill for what I'm trying to do
mild veldt
You want a custom popup...that's how you do it unless you create your own plugin
odd light
just added stream: to configuration.yaml and restarted HA, let's get some cam feeds going. 😄
mild veldt
Ah, assumed you had that 😜
pallid needle
Yeah, I was just wondering if there was a details attribute I had missed or something
odd light
nah, I tried cameras when they first added support and it sucked.
I want to add them but only if I control when they stream so it doesn't kill my cell data when I look at HA on my phone.
they mention a camera platform, do I need to put something into the config yaml for that too?
I don't have play_stream in my services
is it better to pull camera streams directly from blue iris, or the cameras? 🤔
I think this may need to be in the #cameras-archived
lofty relic
Put them on a different page in the HA interface, should eliminate the stream issue unless you go to the camera page.
?
odd light
Well I got the cams added to love lace and working, and right now I have them in picture entity cards with the view set to auto, so they aren't streaming all the time for on my phone. But i'd love to be able to toggle between streaming and not, if I put them on another view with streaming on, I'd think they will still be streaming in the background on my phone but how would I know, if I can't see that view lol.
I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this, someone may chime in with a better way
I just noticed the picture seems to update the still shot on an interval, interesting

Is there a way to have the button card change sizes based on device? With out having seperate views?

why not authenticate outside the iframe, like a popup or new window and then just callback

hehe, inside the app it creates a new login window to the website though
maybe i should just check that the HA login cookie is set and that's it
not implement auth ontop of auth

mild veldt
@sacred quarry you're creating an inner entities card each time
you'll need to just create the row
You'll appreciate this once it is merged, I believe https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pull/4173
sacred quarry
mmmh I am not really sure I follow the concept of "row", is the row gonna replace "card:"? If so, how would I still show two cards once the "on" condition is met?
mild veldt
you're already in an entities card, so yes, it would apply a row. you can already do this by using the full element name like you did for the conditional card inside the entities card. but you do bring up a good point for multiple rows. as created you would have to create multiple conditionals, all of the same type, or put them in a vertical-stack of some kind. i might re-visit the PR before it is merged 🤔
that being said, I think a better/cleaner option might be using auto-entities. see here https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-fold-entity-row#advanced
sacred quarry
mmmh that wouldn't help because I don't wanna include all the lights, what I am trying to do is to show some "pre-defined" colors under a light entity when this is on. I do already have it working everywhere, now I was trying to make a view for per-room lights with this option, and the only problem with my config is the "shade" (as per screenshot), the rest is actually working as expected
As you can see from the screenshot, it is working with the condition, those "points" are showed only when the light it's on, but all that "conditioned" part have it's own "box"
not sure I explained myself clearly, sorry if not
This is what the end-goal would look like (it is just missing the "pre-defined colors points" condition): https://imgur.com/a/NIVjWs9

Hi, i'm trying to add a picture elements item on lovelace and I'm having a weird issue, the item is not showing after saving the configuration. I just followed the example at the bottom of this page : https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/foscam/ and replaced the entity_id with the right one.
mild veldt
@stone walrus start small and not just pasting the full thing
like just add one element
you also have to have stream: setup in your configuration.yaml to see live views
stone walrus
already tried, with the first element, only the prerequesites, and same behaviour
okay, i'll check the stream setup
if i replace foscam integration with a generic stream integration, i guess i will lose the PTZ support?
mild veldt
🤷♂️ probably
stone walrus
okay so that won't help
sacred quarry
Just an additional screenshot to show when it becomes ugly (all those entities and the additional fold-entity-row are part of the same fold-entity-row), when no condition it's used it shows perfectly but once I add it the "shade" appears: https://imgur.com/a/cyNBsco
stone walrus
same issue if i use a generic stream
mild veldt
@sacred quarry that shade is the entities card itself. You could remove the box-shadow with card-mod, I suppose
fair hamlet
was trying to customize a picture on device.tracker and then a suggestion was try and handle it inside of lovelace.
This was one of many trys, You can see the error at the bottom

@solid sage no
@fair hamlet check the docs https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#image
@solid sage you could use this https://www.home-assistant.io/cookbook/google_maps_card/. Google's static map API can do satelite
fair hamlet
Just got it working by customizing the entity. Forgot to put "" around the file spec. Now they show without having to specify them in the entity card. Thanks.
sacred quarry
Thanks @mild veldt , I tried without the entities card (for when I had only one card) and it actually worked, the problem is that where I do have the two cards (light and colors) it only shows the second. Unfortunately I have no idea how to remove that using card-mod... So I guess I'll wait for your "row" implementation and I'll try with that 🙂
Oh I think I actually did it 😄
It's not perfectly aligned, but it's good enough 🙂 https://imgur.com/a/ppliISJ

@polar kelp I'm sorry to insist, but do you have an idea if it'll be sometime implemented? The back button on android on a popup doesn't exit the popup, instead it goes to the previous page. And the size of the popup that doesn't refresh with a dynamic card.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/browser-mod-turn-your-browser-into-a-controllable-device-and-a-media-player/123806/305?u=ricreis394
polar kelp
There isn't really much I can do about the dynamic card size. The size is calculated on launch of the card to put it in the right spot, and if it was updated regularly it would be a terrible user experience e.g. for folding cards.
Re: the back button thing... I don't have any android devices, so I can't really debug it very easily... but I suppose it's in this list somewhere? https://github.com/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Athomasloven If so, I'll look into it regularly to see if I have any idea how to solve it.
... when work and family allows...
wheat current
can browser mod do multiple things? What I was thinking will not work
rotund thicket
That's sad that can't be done the dynamic size thing. About the back button, I'm glad it's on the list 😀 also, the link gave 404 error. But looking at the open issues I can't find any that's related to the back button...😕
mild veldt
I believe that was a prompt for you to report it there
wheat current
re:re: back button
It happens everywhere, there are few webside I visit that actually closes it instead of navigating back

In norwegian we say it like "web side" or "nett side", I blame 🍺 for mixing it

Hi, I am trying to use the layout card but the UI editor seems to not allow editing on the page I have to go to the raw editor, is that how this card will work? I just used Thomas's same code so I am not doing anything but a simple test.
livid oracle
@odd light Ah ok understood, I think I will just start using the yaml file it is time to make the move!
mild veldt
@wild wing it's not an add-on or an integration. It is a custom resource for Lovelace
sullen stream
I have taken control
after adding this to configuration.yaml what would I add in lovelace?

I'm running 0.103.4 and noticed that tap_action: toggle doesn't seem to work ... if i enable that and hold, the menu comes up and if I delete it from config, the menu pops up immediately on tap ... anyone know of this? Has something changed?
sullen stream
another question:

show_icon: true
show_name: true
tap_action:

how do I make it so the doorbell rings normally....? right now it toggles high and holds... then I have to push the button to get it to be unstuck if you will.
@lucid trail for what it's worth this might help... I had some trouble with tap-action

thanks paul
sullen stream
if that helped that's great as I'm always needing help....
mild veldt
@feral rivet a single media-card with a combination of both sources?
feral rivet
yes
mild veldt
you could try putting them into a template sensor and combining their data?
is that you want tv and movies to be sorted together or you just don't want to take up the space for two cards?
feral rivet
Take up the space
livid oracle
HI, can I use a horizontal-stack inside of one row and one column in a layout card?
lucid trail
@sullen stream thanks, but this is an icon on a picture-entity and that one errors out, unfortunately. Is there a known issue with tap-action: toggle? it used to work but honestly I haven't messed with my UI floorplan in sometime, so I don't know what changed or if there is simply a bug. I thought it worked after migrating to HACS version of this, but not sure.
sullen stream
ok so what about calling a service twice?
lucid trail
If anyone gets bored or knows what is wrong, let me know! Here is a sample of the LL config:

top: 27%
tap_action: toggle
- entity: switch.doorbell_chime
show_icon: true
show_name: true
tap_action:
action: toggle
- service: switch.turn_on
- delay: 00:00:02
- service: switch.turn_off
type: entity-button
what's wrong with this????
mild veldt
@feral rivet suggest throwing them in this https://github.com/bramkragten/swipe-card
@lucid trail if must have been a very long time. that is not how actions are defined
@sullen stream @lucid trail check the docs on actions. inside of them you have a dict
vapid field
@mild veldt that's what it does in the UI when you edit a card on it's own.. it flips everything around
Unless he typed that out himself..
lucid trail
jesus clipboard
sullen stream
Clipboard = evil

this is not valid: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-entity/#tap_action
@sullen stream necessary evil tho lol
sullen stream
Yeah I just don’t know why I can’t get the two service calls to make my doorbell ringing properly
mild veldt
@sullen stream you also can't do multiple service calls
that would have to be in a script
sullen stream
Does my doorbell question make sense to you?
mild veldt
and the action would be call-service
sullen stream
I’m building Frank’s doorbell and I have it so it rings the doorbell but I have to push the button twice and I would like it so that when I push the button it just goes ding dong
mild veldt
@lucid trail I don't follow what you are implying with the link to the docs?
@sullen stream so create a script that makes those service calls and then call that script from your button
sullen stream
I know it’s coming, but since I’ve never written a script it’s time for the docks right?
mild veldt
then your button will be
entity: script.doorbell_chime
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
type: entity-button
assuming you name your script that
sullen stream
attempting
Entity not available: script.Ring_that_doorbell
- entity: script.Ring_that_doorbell
show_icon: true
show_name: true
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
type: entity-button
what did I screw up?
mild veldt
developer tools -> states
is that the name of your script for sure?
lucid trail
@mild veldt thanks - i knew i was missing something and found that at the same time you answered. Appreciate it!
feral rivet
@mild veldt ```type: 'custom:swipe-card'
cards:
- type: upcoming-media-card
entity: sensor.kodi_recently_added_movies

I have a feeling it's the second card type , but how do I get it to show the upcoming media without adding the second card type?
grim compass
Is there a way to report some mqtt data to a lovelace card ?
grim compass
I mean, I could manually declare them as sensors but I am using the discovery mode and they don show in states even tho I have some automations on them
grim compass
Anyway, I did manually declared sensors :/
Also is there a way to templatize cards screation ?
Not asking how, but If doing it through jinja would works
grim compass
Again, another question. Is there a way to assume that the latest value is still the current one ?
civic sedge
decluttering_templates
idk what you mean with latest value is still the current one but most likely a template sensor in between could help

Hello all good morning
Need some help with hassio , setting it up in my home
I am trying to setup themes.
in my /config/ui-lovelace.yaml - I have added
frontend:
themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
I have a theme directory
under config
and in themes directory - i have material_dark_green.yaml
not sure why themes are not loading
any help
tame dove
frontend:
themes:
Goes in your configuration.yaml
Before you split your configuration, see if you can add a theme directly to the configuration.yaml. If you get that working, then you can work on splitting the config.
tame dove
If you go to your user profile, you don’t see your theme listed in the drop-down
undone fulcrum
no 😦
tame dove
Post what you have using the proper posting method for large code.
undone fulcrum
okay will do that
undone fulcrum
my configuration.yaml
Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

mild veldt
@undone fulcrum you list frontend twice?
woeful wren
Is it true that using frontend.set_theme has a different result than changing the profile in your user profile? It seems that when I use the frontend.set_theme service, that the left sidebar doesn't change color.
wheat current
That depends
frontend.set_theme will change where you have used "backend-selected", anywhere you have defined a them will be ignored
woeful wren
Ah, I see! Thanks 😄
wheat current
looks like a misconfiguration
polar kelp
Yeah, lots of information missing for us to be able to answer that question.
woeful wren
Right 😛
This (https://pastebin.com/QVDrnx2C) is the yaml for one of the buttons.
Then I have this (https://github.com/basnijholt/lovelace-ios-dark-mode-theme) and this (https://github.com/basnijholt/lovelace-ios-light-mode-theme) theme.
I am triggering frontend.set_theme to go between them.

does anyone here use the lovelace animated background card to display a different background based on the weather?
polar kelp
I've been meaning to make a few youtube videos on the subject.
Could have made the first one - how to set up hass in docker for testing stuff - today, except I got man-flu and have no voice whatsoever.
amber granite
Is there a simple way to disable the "light" card? (i.e. the dedicated card for each lightbulb) and move back to a simple on/off switch grouped under the room card?
^ Just to add to this - I've got lovelace in YAML mode.
amber granite
Yes @polar kelp - exactly that. 🙂
wheat current
using groups to manage the UI is sooo 2y ago 😛
amber granite
To be honest I'm not really sure what an "entities card" is or how I would manage that in the main YAML. I've got the UI managed in the "legacy" (I guess?) way of groups of rooms (i.e. group->bedroom->entities->light.bedroom_light) - is there a new way of doing this in a more lovelace native way or do I essentially just need to add a change to the group?
Ah, yeah - that's what I figured was going to be the case!
wheat current
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/ @amber granite
mild veldt
@amber granite that change was reverted in 0.104.2 for auto mode users of Lovelace
amber granite
So I guess I need to familiarise myself with the new lovelace way of doing things and then port any setup I create back to YAML mode. Basically I run NixOS and the whole point of the distro is to do everything declaratively. As such I don't really want to move things around in the UI frontend, etc. if I can't then get that back to a config file.
mild veldt
@amber granite Lovelace yaml mode is not equal to yaml configuration.yaml usage
polar kelp
Oh. Now I get it. You're not in yaml mode at all!
wheat current
old school yaml mode 😛
polar kelp
Had me seriously confused
amber granite
@polar kelp Sorry, no - basically I've enabled "YAML mode" on Lovelace for the sake of it not allowing me to save config changes. 🙂
polar kelp
But I can see why you'd call it that.
kind shellBOT
amber granite
Yeah, sorry - my bad!
mild veldt
Now I'm back to being confused as well...
wheat current
@amber granite if you goto (devtools) -> info, at the bottom there, under Lovelace -> mode
What does it say?
amber granite
@mild veldt Let me clarify: I declare all of my changes in the original configuration.yaml, I have set lovelace to "mode: yaml" but I haven't actually provided it any YAML config of its own at all. The mode set was just to allow me to enforce that frontend changes cannot be made.
@wheat current
error /var/lib/hass/ui-lovelace.yaml not found
mode yaml
As I said - just really abusing that mode to allow me to enforce that no changes get saved.
wheat current
cool
amber granite
Anyway, it sounds like @mild veldt has provided the answer to my question anyway - if v0.104.2 reverts to the previous layout for light switches that's me 100% happy. 🙂
Basically I just don't like the whole layout of: Here's a card per room - but also a separate card for each lightbulb. I rather like the room-based card layout. It's neat and tidy. 🙂
mild veldt

so I remove frontend from ui-lovelace.yaml ?
