#

Further to that, if you want more options: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor/

#

But if you literally want fully custom icons per state, then yes you'll need a template sensor for each entity.

Anyone know the line in themes to change the media-control card buttons?

#

I love my dark theme but most of the menus under config don’t change as well as the media control card.

arctic aspen Mar 24, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

hello - no matter how many times i set a different lovelace dashboard as the default, "Overview" pops back up as the default the next time I look at it or switch devices. Am I missing something?

tame dove Mar 24, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

I think you have to leave the default and change your thinking. I wanted a mobile view as the default and added a UI-mobile yaml. It didn’t work so I just copied UI-mobile to UI-lovelace and UI-lovelace to a second dashboard I called UI-admin

#

I know that is confusing but I don’t think you can change the name of the default dashboard so just make it what you want

arctic aspen Mar 24, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

ok... i was attempting to do the entire config via the front-end this go-around.

tame dove Mar 24, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

I use yaml mode

arctic aspen Mar 24, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

There is this alert:

#

https://cl.flycl.ps/rRu6BAW0

#

which works for the session but then resets ¯_(ツ)_/¯

tame dove Mar 24, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

Reverse your thinking. Don’t try to make a new dashboard a default. Make the default your new dashboard

arctic aspen Mar 24, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

oh you know what that says "on this device"

#

hmm.

#

was trying to avoid yaml mode, but looks like i have to go back to it

tame dove Mar 24, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

I just looked at you pic.

#

Maybe you can’t change the default cause HAss makes it for you

arctic aspen Mar 24, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

i wish it wasn't per device... in any case, you're probably right about yaml mode at this point.

mild veldt Mar 24, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

yaml mode doesn't change that behavior

icy patrol Mar 24, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

@tame dove is this how the new dashboard work?

#

or is this a temp fix

#

so you made the UI-Mobile as your default

#

and you made a 2nd new dashboard as UI-Admin and copied your default in there?

#

now if you try and access that Ui-Admin on your desktop; wont you run into issues all over again if you set that to default?

mild veldt Mar 24, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

default is per device, so you should not have any issues after you set a default, unless you're using a new device or a private session

icy patrol Mar 24, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

so when i set a default on my mobile to the new UI-Mobile i made the custom header does not load correct

#

but if i go to the new URL directly its ok

#

cache has been cleared

mild veldt Mar 24, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

i use custom header and use a new default mobile dashboard on my phone and don't have that issue

#

have you looked at the repo for similar issues or the support thread on the forums?

icy patrol Mar 24, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

yea; i have been up and down forums all day - trying to make this new feature work

#

for example on my custom header new dash - i have to start on tab 11 on refresh. It does not work. Yet if i go to the new dash URL directly without setting the dash as default it works

#

as soon as i set to to default on the device, it breaks things

#

I don't use HA automations, but I do know that AppDaemon state tracking is case sensitive, and device_tracker states are lowercase.

#

Seems dumb, but perhaps try away instead of Away

#

Because I believe the HA frontend auto-capitalises, but the actual state is lowercase.

heavy cove Mar 24, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

can someone please enlighten me on what all this means? I can't figure out what it's talking about:
The '/community_plugin/*' is deprecated and will be removed in an upcomming version of HACS, it has been replaced by '/hacsfiles/*', if you use the UI to manage your lovelace configuration, you can update this by going to the settings tab in HACS, if you use YAML to manage your lovelace configuration, you manually need to replace the URL in your resources.
I can't see any of these settings anywhere

They're in your Lovelace config, for your custom Lovelace cards

that's what I don't understand.. where in that am i going? as I don't see any settings that refer to that

wheat current Mar 24, 2020, 8:40 AM

That setting only show if you are in storage mode, you use yaml, so it's the resources you have in your configuration

you did that

heavy cove Mar 24, 2020, 8:43 AM

that's why I'm so confused

and you have mode: yaml ?

split granite Mar 24, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

It's under lovelace

nope

it's not in yaml mode

it also refered to ui-lovelace

do i need to do a reboot of it to make it do it's work?

i shared it as an image for a reason.. it's not the text that is wrong.. as it used to work alright

wheat current Mar 24, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

"this error" is what you shared, "this error" is text 😉

heavy cove Mar 24, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

so the solution is to install that plugin?

#

i shows the error as graphical because it used to work.. so the yaml was right.. but the graphical layout became wrong after the last update 😛

split granite Mar 24, 2020, 8:55 AM

You can copy the error as text, and share it as text

Much easier for people to help you that way - if nothing else they can copy and paste parts of the error for searching

Hi, I have a question. Quite new in HA....I combine it with Homey. I have a dummy switch (which comes from Homey) which is ON when someone is in the shower and OFF when he/she is ready showering. I want to show the time the switch is ON is a graph per day. So I can see how long we shower. So on x-axis it should show days and on y-axis it should show time when switch is ON. Is something like this possible?

where is entity_picture_template documented?

And your template is missing an endif,

how are this even not breaking?

it's not a valid template, and they key (from what I see) does not exsist

gritty lily Mar 24, 2020, 1:07 PM

where is entity_picture_template documented?
@wheat current so i need to document separately?
yeah i see i forget about endif

wheat current Mar 24, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

no you do not have to document.
Since it's not in the docs, it will not work

gritty lily Mar 24, 2020, 1:10 PM

i put endif but still nothing

As it is now, I have a picture elements card in a view in panel mode. I have the aspect_ratio set to match my tablet's ratio

#

However, it allows me to scroll down and show quite a bit of whitespace

#

Doh, I figured it out... the main image was white and at the wrong aspect ratio.

atomic glacier Mar 24, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

Any CSS gurus available?
My main display spins off and the background image reverses back in place after a few timed minutes of no motion.
Problem I am having is trying to remove the scroll bars during the animation. Once the animation is complete the bars are gone as expected, only during the transition they appear. Don't even know if this possible, but if not I'll go back to the original fade-in-out I was using 🤷🏻‍♂️

    extra_styles: >
      @keyframes funky {
        from {transform: rotate(0deg); opacity: 0; height: 199px; width 318px;}
        to {transform: rotate(360deg); opacity: 1; height: 796px; width 1274px;}
      }

the other animation is just the opposite. Thanks if any one has a clue🧐

don't think it could be done in input_datetime. If I am not wrong, you could either use a Input Text or a template sensor with a custom string through an automation

This new 'multiple dashboard' functionality, is there a way for me to move a 'view' from one dashboard to another? All I've found is a copy & paste from the raw configuration editor.

#

And also, the devices for my wife and myself that 'locate us' (device_tracker), i.e. our phones, dont show up on the map when we are marked as 'Home'. Is there a way for me to force the interface to have them show up in the 'Map' tab, regardless of their state?

split granite Mar 25, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

The answer is that your zone is too large, and your accuracy on the GPS tracker too low

#

Fix both

#

IMO too, GPS for home/away is the wrong choice. Too inaccurate, takes too long to update. Use WiFi and Bluetooth for home/away, use GPS for where

You can list multiple lights, but read the notes:

Note: Conditions with more than one entity are treated as an ‘and’ condition. This means that for the card to show, all entities must meet the state requirements set.

wispy portal Mar 25, 2020, 10:37 AM

but row: is not accepting a list it looks like u.u

      - entity: light.table_2

aka this is not valid

I mean I can just spam condition cards for every light in here but would be nice to have it setup as 1 condition for multiple lights

but not sure if it's possible

I’ve noticed that the HA updates for the front end (newest now being 0.107.6) do not show up in the Supervisor tab, though that is where you go to update HA. I can see the supervisor version of 209 and System as HassOS 3.12.

Hallo Gentleman, is there anybody in these lovely community that can advice how to customize the thermostat card? I'm using it to control a dehumidifier and works pretty good for my needs, I use a humidity sensor and cheat telling the climate card that I'm cooling with 5deg delta, it works. the only "bad" thing is that I read "cooling" on the status (might be different like "drying"), I read "°C" on the set Temperature (might be "%"), I have a snowflake on the Icon (might be a water drop or something else)...Customizing names and icons could be interesting also for someone who want to use for Humidifiers (similar to Heating)... Thank you for any help in advice, My Best Regards Antonio

mild veldt Mar 25, 2020, 7:41 PM

@grand prism yes but I'm assuming that style is for card-mod which is actually not part of the card creation itself and is done outside of it

card-mod supports its own form of templates though, doesn't it?

Great question, not sure. While I do have card-mod installed, I haven't quite figured it out yet. That style is natively a part of picture-elements

Hi All
I am trying to build a small dashboard for my children where they have a list of audio books available they can tap to play an audio book on a smart speaker (google home or Kodi currently). I am able to play a playlist in m3u format but now I am struggling with the UI. I would want to have a grid or at least a vertical list where I have the audio book cover as image with a certain size (probably 150px width) and either a button next to it or directly by a tap on the image to fire the script that plays the playlist.
Now I tried about every card but I haven't found one where I can easily resize an image. Best would probably be to use the Button Card but I didn't found a way to use a custom image, only the mdi icons. Can anyone help?

Hi Roemer,
I am super new to all of this but I managed to find something that is worth looking into: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/my-own-icons/130711/9

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

seems not wo work with script:

play_album:
    alias: Play Album1
    icon: "mdi:party-popper"

That one sets the icon correctly to the script but

play_album:
    alias: Play Album1
    entity_picture: /local/album1_s.jpg

Shows invalid configuration syntax

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

What's the context of those 3 lines?

#

Script, customize?

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

script

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script doesn't list entity_picture 😉

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

play_album.yaml and the scripts are loaded with

script: !include_dir_merge_named scripts/ # Manual scripts

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/ does list it though, that's how you use it

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

so in my customize.yaml I tried

script.play_album:
  entity_picture: /local/album1_s.jpg

But that doesn't change anything

#

If I try to do something in the UI in Entities, I get This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore it's settings can not be managed from the UI.

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

The picture will change when the state of the entity changes (in this case, run the script)

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

And how do I always use that picture?

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

Once it's changed that should be it

#

Your other option, for larger buttons, would be https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-entity/

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

you're right, once it's changed it is there. But small as you guessed. Yes the picture entity works good but there the image is just huge. Can I shrink it by 50% or something on the picture entity?

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

No, but you can use things like the horizontal and vertical stack cards, and the custom layout card, to manipulate the view

#

There's also other UIs, like Tileboard and HADashboard, that may suit what you're doing better

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Ok thanks for that information. I'll look at that or stick with the small/large images or create my own frontend which interacts with home assistant via api.

keen belfry Mar 26, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Hi, I have a template sensor which status changes from on to off depending on a value of another sensor. I added to its conf the icon_template which changes depending on the state. But I'd like to also change the color of the icons in an entity lovelace card by using state_color with no success. In my other cards, where I have input_booleans which state also changes between on an off, it works fine. Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

hey guys.. okay stupid here again.. and maybe i am just overthinking. I am playing around with the multiple dashboards. When I go to make one in the UI it wants a URL and it has to have a hyphen in it? I have looked for examples and the ones list on the documentation do not have the URL in them to follow. Any assistance with this? I know it may seem super simple to some. but right now I am just not getting it.

polar kelp Mar 26, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

I didn't even know it was documented.

#

The dash requirement was added pretty late in the beta cycle, it probably just hasn't made it into the docs yet, unfortunately.

#

Do you have a link?

@boreal saddle Yes, they need the hyphen and it's in the docs.

#

The key of the dashboard is used as the URL, this needs to contain a hyphen (-).

#

From https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/#advanced-configuration

boreal saddle Mar 26, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

okay so then am I right saying that the URL would look something like :

#

and sorry i was getting more coffee hoping it will help wake my brain up

keen belfry Mar 26, 2020, 3:16 PM

Yes

So no clue for my state_color in entity card issue?

Hi, is this the right place for REST API questions?

#

I want to change activity on my Harmony Hub with the REST API

#

I'm trying to send {"state":"PC"} to https://***/api/states/remote.living_room for example, it replies with code 200 and gives the state i sent back to me, but the remote doesn't do anything. I was able to do this using OpenHab, so it works, just need to figure out a way to send the same command using HA please.

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Maybe use a webhook trigger automation instead, and keep all the logic inside HA

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

@split granite Is that for me?

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Yup

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#webhook-trigger

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

I want to trigger stuff in HA from outside of HA, i have an AutoHotKey script which triggers on Win+B to enable Big Picture Mode in Steam and redirect HDMI and turn the TV on

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Yup

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Ok ill have a look

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

Hit up a webhook, and then let Home Assistant handle the logic

#

Then you don't embed things in other apps, and can be totally flexible

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

So i make a GET request instead, still with the Authorization headeR?

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

POST, but let's go to #automations-archived

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 3:28 PM

Sure

coral obsidian Mar 26, 2020, 3:30 PM

hey together

I have a simple question but only find relatively complicated answers and I don't think that this is so difficult to implement.

I have a touch screen which calls up a URL in "Kiosk Mode", I would like to provide a Lovelace UI board without having to log in? is there already a smart simple solution?
Of course it would be great if after a specific period of time a touch screen pin has to be entered. Maybe even with dependence if I am at home or not. 🙂

coral obsidian Mar 26, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Nobody has an idea?
The manual of 2018 from here https://community.home-assistant.io/t/0-49-themes-kiosk-mode-and-prometheus-io/42528 unfortunately does not work for me...

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 4:02 PM

That was for the very old UI

@keen belfry sensors do not have state colors

coral obsidian Mar 26, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

@split granite Okay, I kinda figured that... is there an alternative or a different way?

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

I don't know, honestly. Some custom card may allow it, or you may need an alternative UI 🤷

coral obsidian Mar 26, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Okay, too bad... just neatly arranged and configured my lovelance UI. Then I'll have a look around, see what else is out there. Did you just get a recommendation for another UI?

#

thanks a lot anyway 🙂

wary tendon Mar 26, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

Can I have a picture-elements card without any main image (respecitively a blank image) and manually define a desired height for the card?

#

If I use a 1x1 white pixel image, the card is about 500px width

and tall

hey guys is there any option where you can use both yaml and ui mode for configuring lovelace? im confused about which mode i even use. im reading the new documentation on dashboards and it says to add lovelace:
mode: yaml

#

will that make it so i cant use the ui at all? so confused

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

Just use the UI

#

There's only a very few cases where YAML mode is relevant

verbal sand Mar 26, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

im still confused about the new documentation on creating multiple dashboards

#

have you tried setting those up yet?

split granite Mar 26, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

I haven't - I have little need of any dashboard let alone multiple

verbal sand Mar 26, 2020, 7:05 PM

I have some very nice looking admin views 😛

#

I do actually have one view that I use normally, for an overview of what's going on, but that's really it

#

Which, I know in this channel puts me in the minority - and I'm fine with that 😄

dense thicket Mar 26, 2020, 7:15 PM

I just tried making a new view in panel mode and now I can't edit the card anymore. Where do I click? or... does that not exist yet? I guess I can get to it in RAW editor mode

polar kelp Mar 26, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

That's one of the longest standing missing features. You have to turn off panel mode and then edit the card.

umbral wing Mar 26, 2020, 7:52 PM

Anyone got some HA cards they can share/show that they have done with the Z Wave Stick and Multisensor? I have just bought these and looking for ideas and inspiration.

@keen belfry sensors do not have state colors
@mild veldt Thank you. Any reason for that? I can't figure it out.

polar kelp Mar 26, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

They don't have discrete states, perhaps?

#

It could probably be done with card-mod, though.

mild veldt Mar 26, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

@polar kelp @keen belfry exactly. a sensor can be literally anything. what could a color possibly convey in a standardized form?

keen belfry Mar 26, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Okay, I get it. A color states applies only to an item that may have only two states. Makes sense. Thanks.

Hi Im trying to install the AMOLED Blue theme

#

I added this to my config.yaml, HA says config is valid

#

frontend:

#

And i have a themes\amoled_blue\amoled_blue.yaml file. I have restarted HA. HA still says no themes available

Turns out i needed themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes and not themes: !include_dir_merge_named ../themes

is it possible to show the "show_last_changed" Option from Glance Cards in the Entity Filter Card? (Secondary Info doesn't work for some reason)

@radiant bear this is what i use for my device_trackers... exactly what you're looking for:

  type: entities

    - domain: person

radiant bear Mar 26, 2020, 9:16 PM

another question: Is it possible to change the displayed state of Device Trackers? Like instead of showing "home" showing "online" or something? I am trying to build a status Display for my Access Points by tracking them as Device Trackers and "home" doesn't seem to be a fitting state

spare meadow Mar 26, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

i dont think so... i had to create a sensor.template to make my own verbage of the states...

#

unelss you want to make your own card, via something like custom:button-card

#

you can output anything you want depending on anything else in that.

#

build your own custom cards

radiant bear Mar 26, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

If I would know how to do any of that 😅

spare meadow Mar 26, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

but if you want the actual state to be something diff, a template is your best bet

#

it comes with pretty complete instructions: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

#

looks daunting because of all the power it has, but start slow and it'll come 🙂

radiant bear Mar 26, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

Is there something that allows me to do that kind of thing with the Glance Card? It looks so nicely clean

spare meadow Mar 26, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

for a long time i used a picture-elements card with state-badges on it... looks like the old frontend in a card. is that more what you're looking for?

#

https://i.imgur.com/8rncWr8.png

radiant bear Mar 26, 2020, 9:22 PM

You only need entity_id if the template is complicated enough it can't extract them automatically

spare meadow Mar 26, 2020, 9:28 PM

hi all. i have a problem. I made a old alarm into HA with relays. The relay's are sort of buttons to a remote control. So the relays have to be on for 2 sec. Everything works but i dont see if the alarm is on or off... This is the script i have now:

is the comparison of None type intentional? should it be a string? == "None"

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 10:04 PM

I took that from https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/

In Node Red i need "None" but the actual attribute value is null according to "Developer Tools"

The main sensor status is "online" and then it has an attribute game: null

Yeah i know, i just tried so many im confused now lol. Ill try 'None'

' === "

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I just thought {% if is_state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game', 'None') %} should cover that

#

Doesn't cath it properly

#

{% if state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game') == 'None' %} that is

#

{% if state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game') == 'None' %}
{{ state('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045') }}
{% else %}
{{ state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game') }}
{% endif %}

This outputs "None" lol

#

Ironic.. It checks whether state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game') is None, and if is it should output something else, but it still outputs state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game') lol

spare meadow Mar 26, 2020, 10:12 PM

a bit ugly but doable... what is the output of {{ states.sensor.discord_maciekish_1045.attributes.game }} rather than using the state_attr

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

I'll check in a bit, trying something else

#

Breaking it up into two separeate sensors which would be useful anyway

spare meadow Mar 26, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

^ i'm not sure that would be available in the template sensor anyway.

#

it would in frontend but i bet it would end there

Sensor becomes unavailable, what does that mean?

wheat current Mar 26, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

not available

solar laurel Mar 26, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

Its a template, how can it be unavailable?

#

I did this instead:

#

maciekish_game:
friendly_name: "Maciekish Game"
entity_id: sensor.discord_maciekish_1045
value_template: >-
{{ state_attr('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045', 'game') }}
maciekish_discord_status:
friendly_name: "Maciekish Game"
entity_id: sensor.maciekish_game
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('sensor.maciekish_game', 'None') %}
{{ state('sensor.discord_maciekish_1045') }}
{% else %}
{{ state('sensor.maciekish_game') }}
{% endif %}

#

One snesor to break out the attribute, then another one based on that attribute

Anyone know how to get a view with two columns with vertical stack cards on the top, and a card under these two columns expanding over both columns? Is it possible? Tried so many things now with the layout-card. Thanks

marsh wyvern Mar 27, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

@steel nexus to my knowledge its not possible

#

😕

steel nexus Mar 27, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

@marsh wyvern oh 😦 Thanks for answering

marsh wyvern Mar 27, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

again to my knowledge, the only way you would be able to do that is by putting the cards under it in some type of stack card also

#

horizontal or vertical

steel nexus Mar 27, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Yeah some sort of tweaking, like maybe only having one column, and create two columns inside that column as horizontal stack and so on ?

marsh wyvern Mar 27, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

thats the only way to my knowldge

#

dont forget there are almost ENDLESS other "dashboards" and all that you can install and use that may have more ability

icy patrol Mar 27, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

those that have multiple dashboard - how are you managing changes? So if you made a change on one dash and you want it the same on lets say the mobile. Are you guys making the changes to both dashs?

atomic glacier Mar 27, 2020, 1:59 AM

@steel nexus I had a few examples posted before using multiple layout-card's within one view. Pretty much, with enough screen space...I haven't seen any limitations.

@atomic glacier Thank you. Nailed it!

split granite Mar 27, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/button/

hasty elbow Mar 27, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

yeah, but doesn't it need an entity to switch?

split granite Mar 27, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

You can create a dummy entity, like an input_boolean

#

You might be able to abuse https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/ but the icon may be small 🤷

hasty elbow Mar 27, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

I have several horizontal-stacks within a vertical-stack and want the 1st element in the horizontals be an icon indicating the story of the house

#

so it should be the same size - I'll try with button-card

split granite Mar 27, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

You could probably use a glance card then, with a dummy entity

polar kelp Mar 27, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

I always use sun.sun for dummy stuff.

split granite Mar 27, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

🤔 That's a good idea...

polar kelp Mar 27, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

I think that's in default_config

#

So it's pretty safe in packages for distribution too.

split granite Mar 27, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

Yup, it is

#

zone.home too will be, and that may make another good dummy choice

hasty elbow Mar 27, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

sun.sun works for me, thanks!

hasty elbow Mar 27, 2020, 10:36 AM

guys.. is there away for me to have different frontend for different user?

marsh wyvern Mar 27, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

@last compass i think with this last update they just made it so you can have multiple "dashboards" and link those dashboards to different users

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2020/03/18/release-107/

#

or atleast it looks like you can have a dashboard that is "admin only" and the other non-admin users would have the same dashboard

last compass Mar 27, 2020, 2:16 PM

@marsh wyvern this seems for admin and user only..

I want to have user 1 and user 2 have different frontend.. for example my mom which is very non technical dont need to view my entire system which always make her confused.. hahahaha

don't make her admin

@wheat current

#

or maybe hide cards for different user?

wheat current Mar 27, 2020, 2:20 PM

@last compass tabs can be set visible for some users

#

@last compass Dashboards can be admin only

#

@last compass If that is not enough, there are custom options

#

@last compass Might be worth searching the forum for that

Hey guys.
I currently have a camera feed of my gate displayed in a picture-entity card.
I also have a button card on the same dashboard to open my gate.

The camera feed updates every ~20 seconds (default). I could set this to always be live, but i don't want it to use unnecessary resources.
What i would like to do is when i press the button to open the gate, it should switch the picture-entity card to be a live stream. It can then open the gate and x seconds later it can switch the feed back to updating every ~20 seconds.

Is this at all possible?

i'm trying to track down some severe performance issues in the frontend. for example, refreshing the Integrations page hangs the browser and runs at 100% CPU for ~30 seconds. any ideas on where to start?

wow, it was Safari content blockers...

Hi all, Fairly new to HA so this might a silly question but I'm struggling with it for some time now. I'm using a text editor to change the ui-lovelace.yaml file but keep getting this error Missing property 'state_filter'. This happens a picture element. I'v tried adding the text state_filter: [] but that didn't do the trick. Any ideas?

I am using the UI/Storage Mode for my "Overview" but using YAML Mode for a couple of dashboards. Where do I need to enter button_card_templates: for my button card templates to get picked up?

lament elbow Mar 27, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

@lament elbow , you can just add "/community_plugin/weather-card/weather-card.js" to your Configuration > Lovelace Dashboards > Resources
@runic minnow do i need to create dir community_plugin under homeassistant folder ? i have changed my lovelace now to storage from yaml in configuration.yaml file

Yep! Been trying out new places. Never thought they'd display right...but

lament elbow Mar 27, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

so i have changed lovelace mode to storage, so that i can edit my lovelace dashboard from UI. My next question is for eg my homeassistant dir is located at /usr/share/hassio/ . Should i create new dir let’s say “custom-love” under my ha folder and so that my resource url will be /custom-love/weather-card.js or is it /local/custom-love/weather-card.js ?

Does lovelace-card-mod work for Picture Elements elements? For example: ```- type: state-label
entity: sensor.date
style:
bottom: -50%
left: 50%
$: |
div {
height: 100vh;
}

#

Inspector shows the structure as: <hui-state-label-element> #shadow-root <div>2020-03-27</div> </hui-state-label-element>

heavy cove Mar 27, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

@grand prism it hadn't been answered before.. but I'm not really sure how to implement that because my code is different to what is being presented in the UI.. https://hastebin.com/ezosasubov.bash <- is the origional code but then it gets changed to this with the error up the top: https://hastebin.com/fimehetala.makefile ... anyone feel free to answer btw.. I'm not sure what part I should be changing in relation to this as I'm using the "Layout Card" which must be changing it at some point? (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-hui-element#faq)

no compatibility issues. Just opened it and checked. I'm on 0.107.7

#

you mean the second link above by juan11perez ?

atomic glacier Mar 28, 2020, 4:57 AM

I use this one for my mobile. It's a different card and less code. Same look: https://github.com/Dino-Tech/Home-Assistant-Main/blob/master/lovelace/popup-cards/input_boolean.mobile_forecast.yaml

#

The first link is from Bram's original card. Second is using the new one in HACS

#

Just the YAML file to display, not the code for the card itself.

#

The one for the second code is custom:weather-card IMO, it's a bit better and smoother than the original

Ok thanks i will try the second link lovelace-darksky-card and let you know if it works

Hi, I want to have SoftUI in HA, But after installed all plugin requirements and themes I did not get SoftUI enabled,
Can someone help me?

@lucid mist If you upgrade to 107, then you can create additional Lovelace dashboards. just in the process of trying this myself. under Configuration you should see a lovelace dashboars button after upgrading

I want to change an icon based on the state of a mediaplayer. Found this online for a boolean (this is pasted in the yaml of the card):

state_icons:
  "off": "mdi:eye-off"
  "on": "mdi:motion-sensor"```
But somehow this doesn't work when changing it to playing and idle/paused. Using it inside of an entities card. Does someone know how to get this working?

Hi, I want to have "YAML mode" and "lovelace UI via web" enabled at the same time for two different layouts. I found that this is possible here: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/yaml-mode/. But I have problems with importing resources. I get this error when checking the configuration:

Configuration invalid
Invalid config for [lovelace]: [resources] is an invalid option for [lovelace]. Check: lovelace->lovelace->dashboards->lovelace-yaml->resources. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 20).

This is my code: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kDBJjcB2Gr/

when using lovelace in yaml mode, how does one configure the default dashboard for all users? currently it defaults to the lovelace url which contains all entities...

specifically this issue is for non admin users who dont have access to config

is this still valid installation for newest version of ha?

The instructions are outdated - you'll need to translate the Lovelace config to the new way of doing things

how do you add custom integrations to lovelace in the latest version? I dont have a resources tab in the lovelace dashboards config

You never did, you add cards to lovelace, not integrations

@split granite && @viral root && @dreamy moon
The "Advanced mode" toggle in the users profile needs to be active for the resources tab to show.

ludeeus, thank you for that tip..

polar kelp Mar 28, 2020, 7:04 PM

I found that out the other day. Bad decision imo, but at least now we know about it.

#

And with hacs it doesn't matter anyway

#

... so I guess maybe it really is an advanced user option...

dreamy moon Mar 28, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

will cards added from hacs show in gui editor for customizing? or do you still have to manually enter them with code?

polar kelp Mar 28, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

For now you have to add them manually. In a few cases you will get a graphical editor if you just enter type: custom:whatever, then save and open it again.

#

There are some new features coming in 0.108 that will make it easier for custom cards to get into the editor too, though.

You don't need to add them manually. There's an "Add to Lovelace" button in HACS. Did you click that?

A lot of folks just ignore that one

Hi, I have what I hope is a quick UI question. I tried searching the forum but I don't think I have the right terminology.
I have a few custom switches and some of them show up as a toggle, while others show me 2 lightning buttons. (black & blue with a line across it). HA seems to decide by itself which one to use, I can't figure out how.

There's a specific switch (platform: rpi_rf) that shows up as a toggle, but I want to force it to be the 2 lightning buttons instead. That platform can't really detect the "on-off". It's sending an RF signal for command_on and command_off

  - platform: rpi_rf
    gpio: 17
    switches:
      "projector screen":
        code_on: 10376452
        code_off: 10376449
        signal_repetitions: 25

Thanks.

Hello everyone 🙂 I have a Button Card that is not changing color as I'd want it to. If I active the scene that is turned on by the button, the button stays grey instead of turning orange. The other buttons that I have for my lights for example changes to orange when I toggle them with the button. Here is the part of my card configuration that I'd like to have some assistance with:

  - color_type: card
    icon: 'mdi:candle'
    name: Mys
    tap_action:
      action: call-service

basically:

  mode: yaml
  # Include external resources only add when mode is yaml, otherwise manage in the resources in the lovelace configuration panel.

The regular button card supports it: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/button/

mild veldt Mar 28, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

@dark dirge @orchid juniper scenes do not change state, therefore no state color

dark dirge Mar 28, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

Ah, yes

#

Missed that it was a scene

orchid juniper Mar 28, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

Aaah, crap. Is there any way to make the custom button card react to scenes? Home Assistant must know if a scene is active or not?

dark dirge Mar 28, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

It doesn’t. They have no state

#

Think of it like a script. In fact, many folks just use scripts instead

orchid juniper Mar 28, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Alright, I see.. Thank you for your knowledge @dark dirge @mild veldt 🙂

dark dirge Mar 28, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

Maybe you could create a template sensor to represent the state of the scene based on the states of the devices in the scene

#

And then use that as the displayed state of the button

#

Or a group. It depends on what you want to mean by a scene being on or off

orchid juniper Mar 28, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

I'll try to learn the templates, never fiddled with them before..
The scene is just for dimming lights to a specific brightness.

dark dirge Mar 28, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

If your version of scene on/off is just whether any of the lights are on or all or off, a group would do it

orchid juniper Mar 28, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Yea, but I have a total of 5 scenes. All of them are adjusting the same lights, just different dimming levels. Here's a picture: https://imgur.com/a/DjFQ6Gi
The five buttons on the bottom are scenes, the other buttons above them are groups of lights.

was working on playing with a new card and now when i edit my lovelace frontend, all the cards disappear. Is there a way to find the lovelace.yaml and fix the issue?

orchid juniper Mar 28, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

I'd like the scenes buttons to act just like the buttons for the grouped lights

@feral rivet can't be a list: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-entity/#entity

feral rivet Mar 29, 2020, 3:05 AM

So should I use the picture element card instead?

mild veldt Mar 29, 2020, 3:11 AM

Or picture-glance

Hi, any clue why I can't add a new Lovelace panel. It asks for a url which I can't seem to enter correctly.

#

I'm on version 0.107.7

#

Hmm, wanted to upload a screenshot but apparently I can't

#

Ah the app said it's permission problem, anyway. Validation on the url field isn't accepted whatever I type.

#

Here's a link to the screenshot. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2k9NdnCyfgAWA35S6

When I set a custom theme in my profile, and save theme will apply. But now when I logged in to my account from private window, default theme was shown. Even when I checked the theme item in my profile its back-end selected!
Looks likes selected theme was set in the current browser/session, Not for user, I have produced this problem multiple times!

barren bolt Mar 29, 2020, 9:30 AM

@strange finch try - and not _

strange finch Mar 29, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

@barren bolt ok,I'll try but the help text says that underscore is a valid character.

split granite Mar 29, 2020, 9:37 AM

The URL needs a - from memory, but I'm struggling to find where it's mentioned in the docs

#

Only reference I can find is in the YAML mode page

The key of the dashboard is used as the URL, this needs to contain a hyphen (-).

Yeah, but that's YAML mode - and we tell people not to 😛

Dont need to document the UI, it have the documentation right there in front of you

Optimist 😉

strange finch Mar 29, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

Ok, then there's an error in the help text in the form because it says - or _. It's either in the Swedish translation or original text as well

split granite Mar 29, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

Could be a translation error - I'd open an issue in the frontend repo

kind shellBOT Mar 29, 2020, 9:48 AM

Want to see what issues are open (or were open and are now closed)?

Check issues for the backend, issues for the UI, and issues for the documentation.

strange finch Mar 29, 2020, 10:02 AM

Is the issue hidden? I can't see it.

split granite Mar 29, 2020, 10:03 AM

I'm suggesting you open one

Hi guys :)
Im using 3 garbage collection sensors for my garbage bins, but since upgrading to 0.107 these show as red rectangles in the frontend.
They do however show up after I manually open Configure UI and close it again.

This is the card code: https://pastebin.com/BFQg9Pp4
Any idea what could cause this?

#

it uses both card-templater and mod-card, did either of those break with 107 update?

#

what it looks like; https://i.imgur.com/gGke8qu.png (top part is the red error boxes, lower is how it looks after opening/closing Configure UI)

ebon spire Mar 29, 2020, 1:37 PM

Anyone else missing supervisor menu on 107.0b5?
@lethal sand Did you get anywhere with this issue? My HA on Docker mysteriously stopped working today, I wasn't even tinkering with it. Had to reinstall and I was going to restore a backup but no supervisor tab!!

Hi all, how do i group the lights in version 107.0 ?

muted inlet Mar 29, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

@fossil kindle same as in previous versions?

#

Light group or regular group

fossil kindle Mar 29, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Invalid config for [group]: [control] is an invalid option for [group]. Check: group->group->system->control. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 31).

Hey guys!

Anyone know if it's possible to hide/show lovelace interfaces based on users instead of admin/notadmin.

I would love for my roomate to only see one menu on the left, (his lovelave interface) without seeing any of the rest.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Is it possible to cast custom UI to the google nest device? I've configured ui-lovelace.yaml file, give it a custom path and enabled lovelace mode yaml in the configuration file. When i try to cast this custom view it dosen't work. It works only when I call "cast.show_lovelace_view" service with "view_path: default_view" parameter.

I want to add this theme

split granite Mar 29, 2020, 3:22 PM

Add the following line to your lovelace-ui.yaml or use the RAW editor:
(emphasis mine)

#

Top right corner, take control

steady sluice Mar 29, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

what

#

Whats rhe raw editor?

split granite Mar 29, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

In the UI

steady sluice Mar 29, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

oh

split granite Mar 29, 2020, 3:23 PM

Once you take control, go back to the top right corner again and you'll see the menu has changed

#

dotsvertical

steady sluice Mar 29, 2020, 3:24 PM

how do I take control?

Do I just paste that code into the raw UI editor?

Take control from the dotsvertical menu

then I clicked the Configure UI button

I suspect that the background line now goes in the Resources section, but I'm not sure

Oh ok

It says there is a way to download it from the add on store instead?

But I look it up and its not there

Add-ons are other software that is external to Home Assistant

So, no 😉
