dawn patrol Apr 22, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

hm yes that might work @split granite

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Can someone explain the basci steps needed to use a custom card I found on github? Do I need HACS, do I need to add the .js file to my local folder? Can I simply copy/paste? Do I use a manual card when I add it to the UI?

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

sure, no, yes, yes, yes

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

OK, I added the .js in the www folder

#

I also added it in the resource section of the lovelace config. Gave it the same location (/local)

#

When I simply copy/paste it into a custom card it says no card type found

#

Should I do a restart first?

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

Remove - in front of "type"

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

"Custom element doesn't exist: button-card."

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Better

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Progress 😄

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Now if you just created the www you need to restart (like the docs say)

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

Still the same error

#

LEt me check the location of that .js

#

Weird, it wasn't there. I added it again.

#

And restarting

#

OK, restarted, the .js file (button-card.js) is sitting in the /www folder. But: "Custom element doesn't exist: button-card."

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

Clear cache

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

Can't find that in the UI anywhere.

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

Good (it's not there)

#

It's in your browser, not your UI

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Ah!

#

One sec

#

I think that did it. The card isn't working but I'm not getting any error at least.

#

Got to double check all the entities

#

Thank you @wheat current. Got other more work to do but you solved the custom card thing it seems 🙂

wheat current Apr 22, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

If you had hacs, you would be able to skip most of these issues 😅

hexed furnace Apr 22, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

You should've said that in the beginning! 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

#

Seems to be an error in the later part of the card. Got 90% of it working

#

The errors I have tend to be between my chair and my keyboard

#

🎉 Got it!!! It was a whole bunch of entity id's I forgot to change 🤦‍♂️ 😆

@compact nexus Trying to work off - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cast/

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

yeah i just found that

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

Hi

#

I am wondering if there is a way to show up a specific card by a URL

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

like an external url? that you want to show up in lovelace @fierce vale ?

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

no, vice versa I do not want to show something external in lovelace, I want to get lovelace like something external 🙂 I have a floor plan in use and there I can place my items. Also I can add for clicks to open URLs. If I do not do, by default it opens the "more info" for the entity

#

but for climate or dimmers or so, the more-info doesn´t look that good like the card does

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

so you want the floorplan page to pop up when you click a button?

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

d like to have the card opened instead

#

I have the floorplan as a panel

#

and in the floorplan I placed the entity with a state-label

#

e.g. a thermostat

#

showing up the actual temp

#

when I click it I get the entity´s more information "card" with buttons for "temp up/temp down". But I like more the card with the gauge like "drag it where you want", but don´t know how to call it - if there is a way at all

#

understand?

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

kind of. you want it to popup and show a different lovelace card basically?

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

pop up I would prefer

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

ok for that you'll probably want to use Browser Mod, found in HACS

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

tap - pop up - set temp - close it --> back to the floorplan

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

yeah browser mod can do that

#

there is good documentation on how to set it up. take a look there

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

I´ll have a look for it

#

thank you!

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

sure

#

@trim bronze im still trying to understand this thing. stand by

trim bronze Apr 22, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

Cheers first time trying to integrate a cast and pulling hair out here

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

make an entities card and put this in it:

type: entities
title: My Title
entities:
  - type: cast
    view: alarm-panel
    name: thing to cast

#

obv change the stuff to your own stuff

#

that link has all the different variables you can change

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

just reading about the browser_mod thing... I have the impression this does then utilize the browsers popup functionality from the lovelace, is it? So new device/browser, other behaviour

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

it is a lovelace popup

#

not a new browser tab or anything

#

just like a normal lovelace popup

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

can I configure it to always do this popup anyway which browser comes?

#

so it is client neutral?

#

I´ll give it a try

#

PS, for dimmers it´s the same: boring design on the default "more info" with alinear slider and much for simple use not interesting stuff but a good looking gauge slider on the lovelace card

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

yes when you write the script for the popup you can just put 'this' as the deviceID and it should popup wherever it was triggered

#

but i've never tested that

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

it works somehow - but not as I want. It shows up the device´s card, yes - but without the slider

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

this is a thermostat?

#

what card type did you specify in your script?

#

you need to use the actual thermostat card not an entity card

#

type: thermostat
entity: climate.thermostat_307

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Ah! I was on the right track already

#

this works, thank you!

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

great! you're welcome

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

is there also a way to show it without a Title? I guess no, didn´t find any option for that in the readme

#

if I fire it without, it does not show up

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

good question, hang on

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

not that important

trim bronze Apr 22, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

make an entities card and put this in it:

type: entities
title: My Title
entities:
  - type: cast
    view: alarm-panel
    name: thing to cast

@compact nexus Thanks for that, just need to try configure my bas url for https and should be sorted 🙂

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

np @trim bronze .

#

@fierce vale now that you brought that up i want that for my own popups haha. never noticed it until now

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

🙂 would make them look a little bit more slim

#

no need for a title

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

@fierce vale if you just put title: " " (with a space) there is no title but still the space is there

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

hmm... this works, yes. But the "X" to close it keeps the same big so didn´t help a lot though 😄 Anyway

#

I can fire it in developer area but when I set the same up as a tap_action it does not work

#

shall I post my code?

#

              action: call-service
              service: browser_mod.popup
              service_data:
                data:
                  title: " "
                  card:
                    type: thermostat
                    entity: climate.peq2166824
                  deviceID:
                    - this```

#

if I pick the service in developer tools and paste the same data, it works

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

make it into a script and use script.turn_on as the tap action

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

hmpf... first script

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

big day!

#

if it doesn't work then it is because of the deviceID part. that is the part i wasn't sure would work. you might need to specify the device

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

but it works when I fire it from developer tools area!

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

that is strange

#

try clearing your browser cache

#

that fixes a lot of problems with browser mod

fierce vale Apr 22, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

nope

#

maybe too late today (2 am).

#

I´ll try my best another day 😄

#

thank you anyway

compact nexus Apr 22, 2020, 11:54 PM

Hi HA Friends.
I have integrated Philips Air-Purifiers in Home Assistant. I can add it to an entity card and see the attributes values. Attributes include allergen index (values 1-12) and PM25 values that change dynamically with air quality and the sensors on the air-purifier. How can I display the attributes' values in a gauge card? i want to display the range 1-12 with critical level indicators. I know how to use a gauge card with eg a temperature sensor where the values are states but I don't know how to display attributes. I'm not a coder and I've read about templating but not managed to put the pieces together. Any help is much appreciated.

I am looking to have an input select option prompt with a confirmation dialogue. Anyone have some ideas as to how to accomplish this? I have seen some people trying to route through a button/input Boolean/switch but I was wanting to know if there was a plug-in or better solution to accomplish this? Thoughts/suggestions would be great! Thanks

vapid field Apr 23, 2020, 4:37 AM

if the confirm button was in a secondary info window, clicking anywhere outside that would be canceling, right? @twilit light

atomic glacier Apr 23, 2020, 6:31 AM

@twilit light @vapid field https://github.com/iantrich/restriction-card can be used all sorts of ways with confirmation alternatives and combined with most all cards and rows as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Template sensor, but also some weather cards do that

Any idea why sometimes I take a whole lot of time for the UI to load after a restart?
I can access HA via SSH after a few seconds from the restart.. But sometimes, it can take a very long time until the UI is reachable...

split granite Apr 23, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

The log should tell you a bit about that

#

You may need to up the log level to info, but the problem isn't the UI, it's Home Assistant

#

The UI is the last thing to launch

#

If the log doesn't tell you, increase logger to info and restart, then see #330944238910963714 or #672217570283094017 to help track down the problem

Alright... Once it will load now, I will change the logger and will try to restart again. Tho now it can take a really long time.. Well, time for a Puff.. 😉

Now I want to display sensor.entity1.timeleft just if sensor.entity1.state is On.
So that should be easy with a conditional card. But... I want this for all three devices in one card.

#

So basicly... if sensor.entityX.state is On show sensor.entityX.timeleft value in card.

atomic glacier Apr 24, 2020, 10:42 AM

@timber locust https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card should do it or maybe take a look at state-switch as well

#

@ripe bison you can use a button card inside an entities card or just use a glance card, maybe

Do people have two automations for motion for on and off or do you use conditions to do both? IE if motion detect turn on, if no motion turn off?

split granite Apr 24, 2020, 11:58 AM

Sounds like a #automations-archived question 😛

#

The answer will be yes - some people do one, some do the other (with templates)

trying to install iantrich's custom:list-card but I am not understand the install instructions: ```Step 1

Save list-card to <config directory>/www/list-card.js on your Home Assistant instanse.```. Am I supposed to be creating a folder called list card and then placing the list card code inside of it?

Use HACS if you can

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

the example really confuses me wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/custom-cards/list-card/master/list-card.js mv list-card.js /config/www/

#

I don't see it in HACS. I looked for list-card and custom:list-card and found nothing.

mild veldt Apr 24, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

you can add repos in the settings

#

but it should be default

#

just search "list"

#

I lied, it is not default

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 1:17 PM

lol. yea I figured it was not default

#

@mild veldt I am not seeing the repo in the card page, could you please point to where it is?

Hi All, does someone know a card which shows history and works with HA Cast? Tried the logbook-card and home-feed-card, but no luck yet..

#

hey iantrich, so although I have added the card in HACS and have rebooted my system, I am getting this errorCustom element doesn't exist: list-card.

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Then it's:
a) Not working
b) Not imported correctly

#

How did you define it?

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

I imported it using the information iantrich provide in the above lines. It looks good in HACS. this is how i am currently using it title: ' Quote of the day' entity: sensor.bible_gateway_feed feed_attribute: entries style: | ha-card { height: 128px; overflow: hidden; } type: 'custom:list-card'

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

Let me try again.
How did you define it in your lovelace resources?

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

so if i understand the question, I have it defined as a plugin.

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

So that is in HACS, I'm asking about lovelace

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

my bad , I don't know where to go find that information. So I don't think I have it defined in lovelace. With iantrich 's update to the card this morning their is no reference or guide to adding the card to lovelace.

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

okey..
Are you using YAML or UI (storage) mode for lovelace?

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

UI

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Good 👍
In HACS, when you view the plugin, do you see a "Add to lovelace button"?

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

i did when I first added it, but I clicked on the button.

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

Good 👍
Now if you click on the "Open plugin" button, do you get an error, or a wall of text/code?

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

wall of text/code

wheat current Apr 24, 2020, 4:00 PM

feral rivet Apr 24, 2020, 4:02 PM

hassio . firefox

hassio is not a OS, sooo windows probably?
Try holding down (ctrl) and (shift) then hit the "R" key and see if that helps

Some other integrations support icon templates, but you'll mostly have to tackle that in the frontend, with CSS AFAIK

Since I've been meesing around with the state-switch transitions a few days, I had a more useful idea that came to mind. Would it be possible/easier to add the ability to assign a different transition for each state that is met?
e.g.

          ...
          states:
            buttonshow:
              transition: slide-left
              ...
              ...
            buttonhide:
              transition: slide-right
              ...

stefano - I'm not sure there's a way to do exactly what you're asking for (maybe with a combination of https://github.com/iantrich/config-template-card and popup from https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod, but that looks unnecessarily complicated).

#

Can't you copy the file to a known name as well and use that for the camera?

odd light Apr 25, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

do we have an easy way to add HA restart, group reload etc to the front end yet? a custom card perhaps?

spiral pasture Apr 25, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

If you have no control over the name of the file being created you could use an automation based on https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/folder_watcher/ to trigger a copy

#

hmjgriffon - yes

#

anything with tap_action etc. can be configured to run a service such as homeassistant.restart or any of the reload services (just go to developer tools -> services and type reload into the service box to see a list of options.

odd light Apr 25, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

yeah, you have to make big buttons for that though, was trying to avoid but I guess its good enough

spiral pasture Apr 25, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

why big buttons?

odd light Apr 25, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

you can't do it with an entity card, I don't think

spiral pasture Apr 25, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

you can do it with most cards. For example glance - use any old entity, change the icon / name to something appropriate and set tap_action to do what you want

#

or use button and put several in a horizontal-stack (you can also set the height now)

odd light Apr 25, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

ohhh

#

that's a way to go

spiral pasture Apr 25, 2020, 4:04 PM

there are many ways to skin that cat 🙂

#

That?

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

yeah, although here documentation isnt very informative, i found the best example of usage here https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/08/06/home-assistant-cast/ but still it doesnt work

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

So, you've already set up the integration, and you're just trying to cast the view?

#

https://github.com/DubhAd/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/lovelace/view-cast.yaml#L8 is one of my configs for casting the view

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

ive got the script all right i believe, but when i run it, a page with Nabu Casa & Home Assistant logos shows up on Google Nest, with a message that url was not found

#

so im assuming that i messed up the entity as the url in the script matches the url of lovelace tab

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

The view you cast has to match the path in the view

#

Not the URL

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

but where can i find the path if its not url

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

You define it 😉

#

Look at my link

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

why you have four different casts defined in one view?

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

They each cast a different view

#

    - type: cast
      name: Overview
      view: home
``` casts the view with the path `home`

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

ah i get it

#

so the cast entity is actually used to cast a view not to define a view to be cast?

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

Yes

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

ah, im trying to do that from script though

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

It still casts an existing view

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

i mean make a script which will cast a view and then run the script from Google voice assistant

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Right, but it still casts an existing view

cedar girder Apr 25, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

but im getting: view 'weather' was not found error

#

it works in demo though

split granite Apr 25, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Do you have a view called weather?

#

Is your base_url set and includes https://?

ive got a view called Weather with url weather, maybe that's the problem

Always run the configuration check command when you make changes. Don't trust the UI check - it misses some problems.

Hello, I have been researching how to implement our own HTML and CSS code, I have seen and tried many user solutions to do it and the furthest I have come has been to put a theme and change some colors. I have also read that even if it is OpenSource HomeAssistant limits many things, for example when editing the CSS in the menu on the left.
If there is any way I can edit the full HomeAssistant style please let me know

Hi

#

I'm trying to use HACS to add some custom cards that I can only make work using lovelace in yaml mode, but if I try to use it in interactive mode from config lovelace resources, I see that the .js modules load from the chrome but I get the message "No card type configured". Any idea what I might be doing wrong

spiral pasture Apr 26, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

No card type configured is not related to correct loading of resources, it means you’ve not got the yaml right. You need a “type: custom:cardname” in the card config. Obviously replacing card name with the name of the card.

atomic glacier Apr 26, 2020, 2:24 AM

@storm rampart card-mod is very flexible with styles

Basically I want every card to be vertical so they scale regardless of the screen size. Is there a better way?

spiral pasture Apr 26, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

layout-card is a 'container' for other cards - as are horizontal-stack and vertical-stack. If you want all your cards to be in a single vertical column then vertical-stack is the easiest

#

- type: vertical-stack
  cards:
    - type: conditional-card
      ...

#

then list all your cards under cards:

#

if you want something more complex that layout-card has various options, if you set layout: vertical it'll work similar to a vertical-stack but allows you to add -break between cards to force them to the next column.

#

layout-card is generally best used in panel mode

Hi is there any way to use markdown or any of the LaTeX inspired systems to format strings? I could not find information about it.

#

E.g. instead if having something like m^3 as a unit I would like to get the real mathematicla correct $m^3$

#

Which works not in discord either 😉

#

other example would be fractions like m/s which would be $\dfrac{m}{s}$ as LaTeX notation and resulting in a nicely set of a real fraction unit

Hi everyone. I am having an issues viewing the devices on Home-assistant. everything else works as expected but this page just returns an error. Error while loading page devices.

limpid remnant Apr 27, 2020, 2:54 AM

@shy tapir Any clues in Developer/Logs? Maybe restart (after first trying a browser cache clearing). Have you run a config check? What config changes have you recently made (particularly related to devices)? Need more clues and investigatory results to help.

Solved: Had frontend: in my configuration.yaml twice

I'm a little stuck with changing my home zone. The docs suggest that I can create another zone with the name "Home" and expect that it overrides the default one but I just end up with two. I found some tickets in github that talk about enabling the ability to edit the Home zone in the ui, but that hasn't been done yet.

I have the following in my configuration.yml, checked the config and restarted. Now I have two Home zones...

zone:
  - name: Home
    latitude: <snip>
    longitude: <snip>
    radius: 60
    icon: mdi:home

dark dirge Apr 27, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

Are the names in the main homeassistant section and the home zone the same, including case?

#

Mine are both lowercase home and it’s working fine

severe estuary Apr 27, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

I don't have anything in the homeassistant section, I have the default_config: and the rest of the params were configured in the UI.

#

        "location_name": "Home",```

dark dirge Apr 27, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

Then try a lowercase home

#

Especially if the two you have now differ in case

severe estuary Apr 27, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

Interestingly, I changed name: Home to name: "Home" and now it works.

dark dirge Apr 27, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

Hmmm

#

Glad it’s working

severe estuary Apr 27, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

also, name: home works... :/

#

Anyway, thanks for the help.

dark dirge Apr 27, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

The states are home and ‘not_home’ for your home zone, so hopefully what you choose accurately reflects that

Hello Community, I would like to request your help wail it's not an fresh install, and I've been busting my brains over it for the past few nights... I've decide to move my supervised instance to my docker infra (wo the supervisor of course). Docker's Infra are behind traefik and redirect to 8123, with an fresh install, wo the http section, the frontend works fine. But as soon as active it, I've received an bad gateway error. As recommanded by the documentation, I've enable x fowarding and authorized the traefik proxy and docker ip... but still same. mindblown Do I've missed something else ? thanks !

@split granite This is strange, it did change the icon but just not in the card http://werra11.eu/i/27-04-2020_15:58:57.png

@rugged plinth If you want the default view you can make a new lovelace view in settings -> lovelace dashboards. this one will be auto updated with new entities

rugged plinth Apr 27, 2020, 2:20 PM

So that is at /config/lovelace/dashboards ?

That's just a weather card, you can add that to your custom lovelace UI

yeah that sounds like what I'm looking for. Can someone paste a config example or maybe link me to some docs?

Hi to all - I have been searching for quite a while now, I am not sure if what I want is possible. I really like having each person as a badge on the top of the view, alsong with the entity_picture. Looks great. Now I would like to switch the picture to a black&white version (or filter the image via CSS) if the person is not at home. Possible? Ideas? All welcome.

@rugged plinth It is, you can just add it to your UI

weary pasture Apr 27, 2020, 5:56 PM

So, I've discovered that setting a View to not be visible to a user doesn't prevent them from actually seeing it... just removes it from the nav bar. This means that all users see the same default view even if its not supposed to be visible to them.

How do I get homeassistant to reload other included yaml configurations on a simple browser refresh?

#

for example if I make any changes in my ui-lovelace.yaml, I just refresh the browser and it shows up

#

But if I have a part of the ui-lovelace.yaml (for example a template, or just a page) in a different yaml file with !include, it'll only refresh if I restart the whole HA

#

Nevermind hitting 'refresh' under the ellipsis menu updates everything, it's just that the browser refresh is not enough

looking for some help with this card https://github.com/AnthonMS/ha-slider-card. I have created the folder as instructed/config/www/slider-card.js/slider-card.js and followed the instructions to Copy slider-card.js to <config directory>/www/slider-card.js. When I try to create the card i am getting this error messageNo card type configured.

muted inlet Apr 28, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

@feral rivet you don't need to put it in its own directory like that, just in /config/www/ is fine. But anyway did you add it to your Lovelace resources?

feral rivet Apr 28, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

yes /local/slider-card.js and the type selected is JavaScript module.

#

should I remove it from the directory?

muted inlet Apr 28, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

Well there's your problem. It's not in local/ (www/), it's in local/slider-card.js/

#

So yeah either move it to local/ or update the directory listed in Lovelace resources

#

In other words, the path you list in Lovelace resources needs to match where it's at (knowing that www/ is local/)

feral rivet Apr 28, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

lol I was trying to formulate a question to the info you just provided .

feral rivet Apr 28, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

ok so I think I got it properly set /config/www/slider-card.js

#

unfortunately I am still getting this response from my card```No card type found

card:

entity: light.zooz_dimmer_switch_92
type: 'custom:slider-card```

wheat current Apr 28, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

yeah... almost no custom card docs are written with adding it in the UI in mind

#

use this:

type: custom:slider-card
entity: light.zooz_dimmer_switch_92

feral rivet Apr 28, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

it worked. thanks guys

#

So the way the card is represented in the instruction I shows the entity icon which reacts to the position of the slider, but having created the slider it definitely does not create the entity icon. Can I add icon: to the card file in other to show both the icon and the slider as displayed in the example https://github.com/AnthonMS/ha-slider-card or do I need to create two separate cards?

has anyone got an example of using custom button-card that needs both an entity in service-data AND another value

#

tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: fan.set_speed
  service-data:
    speed: 'off'

#

the docs say it uses the entity specified in the card, but i cant get it to work - am i missing something?

feral rivet Apr 28, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

so i just tried out the icon: idea for the slider-card and got nada. Only the slider bar is created. anyone else using this card able to give some input on how to acheive both the slider bard and the icon button?

muted inlet Apr 28, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

@dim jolt should be service_data not service-data

dim jolt Apr 28, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

thanks @muted inlet sorry my rushed typo - i have service_data in my actual code

#

cant figure out where to specify entity

#

the docs state: Service data to include (e.g. entity_id: media_player.bedroom) when action defined as call-service. If your service_data requires an entity_id, you can use the keywork entity, this will actually call the service on the entity defined in the main configuration of this card. Useful for configuration templates

split granite Apr 28, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

In the service data

#

  action: call-service
  service: fan.set_speed
  service-data:
    speed: 'off'
    entity_id: fan.spreader

dim jolt Apr 28, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

ok thanks i'll try that

hi there. I used to have floorplan working, but i must have made a wrong change lately. Now i'm getting Custom element doesn't exist: floorplan-card. and i can't figure out what i'm missing

dim jolt Apr 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

thanks @split granite that worked - how did you know that? the docs say the opposite - appreciate your jedi knowledge

split granite Apr 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

That's exactly what the bit you quoted said to do 😉

#

You didn't appear to have any entity_id included in the wider card config

dim jolt Apr 28, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

thats not how i read it though, it says to use entity not entity_id
it says you can use entity it will call the service on the entity defined in the main config of the card (not under service_data) - no idea how you derived your answer - either way it works - so onto solve the next thing 🙂 thanks as always

dim jolt Apr 28, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

also - weird - fan speed attribute is reported as last value even though state = off

#

i feel like that is a bug? shouldnt speed attribute be off or false ?

Maybe this is a very dumb question but I can't get a vertical stack card containing entity cards to work within a conditional card.

split granite Apr 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

Do you want that vertical stack inside the conditional card, or the conditional inside the vertical stack?

#

At the moment they're at the same level, hence the error

winter blade Apr 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

vertical stack inside condition

split granite Apr 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Then you have to do that 😉

#

The conditional card would hold the vertical stack card

#

The vertical stack card would hold the other cards

winter blade Apr 28, 2020, 5:55 PM

Thanks for the tips, I will try to fix it 🙂

It's just a little complicated because that conditional card is also in a vertical stack

I have this strange issue with my garbage card. The images on it are shown as red boxes until I either expand/close the left menu, or when I open ' Configure UI'

Example image: https://i.imgur.com/GzaU6y0.jpg

The card uses both Card-Mod (mod-card actually due to horizontal stacks) and Card-templater.
My logs show no errors related to this (as far as I can tell...)

What could cause this?

@upper tulip I’m not sure I’m understanding what you’re looking for, but if it’s to have a title at the top of a card, or stack of cards so it looks like one card, then you might want to look at stack-in-card to replace your horizontal stack. You can put a title in that easily, no need for additional markdown card.

latent moss Apr 29, 2020, 2:46 PM

@rose bramble you probably disabled the entity, so it is not showing up in the Entity dropdown for lovelace card editors. Try going to Configuration (in sidebar) -> Entities page. Then in the search box at the top type in "person" , find the person.xxx and click on it. Then you'll have an option to re-enable that entity.

rose bramble Apr 29, 2020, 2:54 PM

@misty pasture in a nutshell you need to create a www folder if you don't already have one under config and then put http://www.github.com/custom-cards/button-card/releases/latest/download/button-card.js inside it and then in the UI you go configuration > Lovelace Dashboards > Resources and add /www/button-card.js as a module.

Yes, AFAIK...I have multiple types of cards/structures inside of the fold rows. Plenty of examples in my repo https://github.com/Dino-Tech/Home-Assistant-Main @frank ocean

I think I broke my home-assist. I only get a 404 page when I try to load the front page for it....

#

I tried removing the contrainer, reformating the raspi, and setting up a new docker and hass instant. pointed at my old config location and still get 404. If I point it somewhere else I don't get it and I get the normal onboarding process.

#

Any idea what/where I can look to see what is cauing it. or like should I try renaming/replacing the yaml files to see maybe what is causing it?

#

I just edited the config yaml and I got it to crash into a safe mode. so something that was working just fine yesterday, broke all of a sudden

@floral coral Well, that was overkill as first steps... But anyway, how did you install home assistant? Core on docker it sounds like? Or did you have add-ons?

#

Sounds like core on docker if you are choosing a config location

floral coral Apr 30, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

yeah

I find it difficult at squinting and using mouse or finger to use history graphs, any addons that make them bigger/prettier?

You've tried the stock sensor card?

#

There's also https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card

lucid bronze Apr 30, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

thanks, mini looka nice.. anyone to make it huge on loveface?

#

way*

split granite Apr 30, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

Horizontal stack card, custom layout card, and probably a few other options

#

I mean, heck, you could make it the only card in a panel view

lucid bronze Apr 30, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

Thanks will give it a go 🙂

#

think panel mode will do trick

#

Question with that, I have a motion sensor that is classed as a device, how does one add a device in the history graph?

split granite Apr 30, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

You don't, you add entities

#frontend-archived

Example entities card configuration

The path of the view (or number)
