Hi, I want to have a button below the Garbage icons to manually activate/confirm, that the trash-can is outside.
The button should be reset at 8:00am next morning and if applicable a notification should be send.

What would I search for ?
Is this a Template Switch?

Hi guys, I was about to open an issue on the frontend github, but I am not 100% sure it's frontend or core related. In LL all the instances of Home/Away are not showing as home/not_home, is that expected? Is that already a known issue or should I open the issue on github? I tried to look at the existing issues but I didn't actually find nothing that "sounds" related

A question about the new weather-card/icons. Should the sun just be a yellow circle? Like https://imgshare.io/image/skarmavbild-2020-04-30-kl-151254.zRUaZ

mdi icon white-balance-sunny should be better in my opinion 🙂

Hey guys, I'm currently integrating my NAS in ha. WoL works perfectly fine, I now wanted to integrate a button to send the NAS to sleep mode. I followed the guide in the WoL integration page and modified the command with the correct command for my nas. How can I call that service now from lovelace?

torpid notch Apr 30, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

@heady berry You could create a Button that triggers the service your automation

#

What is the correct way to embed links since weblinks were killed? I use something like this now, which breaks the visual editor despite it works:

- icon: 'mdi:printer'
  name: Webinterface
  type: weblink
  url: 'http://192.168.178.32/'

Message: Expected a value of type {entity,name,icon} | entity-id for entities.9.type but received "weblink".

sigh: I read the note at the bottom of https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#example. I hope this will be fixed

Hi, I'm sure this question has been asked before .. somewhere, but after a long search, I'm nowhere. I am using a picture-elements card, and I want to create a mute toggle button on it. I thought using a state-icon would be the right thing to do, I then tried a service-call, but none of what I've tried so far is working. It's to mute my TV. Any help is appreciated.

@vapid field have you made sure the service call works in the service tab in dev tools? If it's not working there it's a problem with the call, if it is, make sure your service call section is correct. Here's what something I have looks like:

tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: amcrest.goto_preset
  service_data:
    entity_id: 'camera.amcrestcamera'
    preset: '4'

Hello, Iam new to this topic I just installed the integration "Config Template Card" through HACS but iam getting the error "This plugin is not added to your Lovelace resources.", does anyone have had similiar errors with this integration?

That's a custom card (Plugin) not an integration 😉

@polar kelp sorry to disturb. Does lovelace_gen _global get reloaded when the reload button is used? I've been using jinja & dictionaries for my config and I'd rather switch to yaml to be... less verbose with characters.

Hi Folks, Has anyone experienced an issue in the configuration screen where you click a menu item at the top or try to add an integration and the page won't refresh... it just adds scrollbars to the side? I've tried clearing my cache (ctrl+F5 and ctrl+shift+r) but that doesn't help. Oddly enough, when I hit refresh it brings up the page that I am trying to get to. I can't quite figure out what is going on there.

I mostly think it happens when the lists scroll off the screen. How that isn't handled by a UI dev, confuses me. There are a lot of places in HA where things do not fit on the screen, and there's no way to resize parts of the UI

#

I have found that I often have to go find the thing I am looking for elsewhere then click on the list, then hit the up arrow the correct number of times for the item that's offscreen. Completely retarded

Is there a way to set the tab scroll buttons to be display:none when they're hidden/invisible, so they don't take up space? I've got a set of tabs with icons only (no text) which fit nicely on my phone screen... except that I get a > button at the right-hand side because the combination of the padding and the invisible < button on the left-hand side push the tabs over just enough to make it enable scrolling the tabs

the webserver is python, the interface is js

yea thats what i was looking at

It just didnt strait say what lauange and database it was using

wheat current May 1, 2020, 11:38 AM

under frontend there are multiple refrences to js

the DB is a backend thing, and it uses whatever you told it to use, with a fallback to SQLite

@wheat current @split granite JFY, it was an integration called "variables" (literally a file variables.py in custom_components) causing this whole problem. Thanks to @winter hollow for time and effort on helping me figure this out.

Hi, I have a question, and I am not even sure what to call the problem:
I have a slider on the dashboard controlling a light's color temp. But the light is only updating when I release the slider, not while I move the slider. Is this fully intentional and not changeable or is this depending on the type of control I use for the slider?

tacit cave May 1, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

@buoyant mango that's by design. Changing that would require updates to the ui control, there is no way to 'configure' that behavior.

I'm not sure if this is the right text channel. I've just added the Community store and installed google_dark_theme. I'm unable to succesfully see this theme in my theme settings on the frontent. I see "No themes available"

I made a themes directory in /config/themes and have added the line frontend: theme: !include_dir_merge_name config/themes

@latent moss ty, good idea. I was using that but I think I used the wrong label from the one I picked. knowing hass supports all of them, I'll go back and try the other labels

it worked!

latent moss May 2, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

@rugged plinth well actually HA doesn't support all of the icons on that page just yet... the mdi icon set in HA is a couple versions behind. But probably like 95% of icons on there are supported in HA. So just keep that in mind if something doesn't work that you expect to 🙂

@scenic elk I am not sure if HACS does this automatically for you (since i dont use themes in HACS). But you need to reload themes. Go to developer tools > services > and call the frontend.reload_themes service.

i remember that in the past (like two years ago), showing up battery state of for example Zwave devices in HA GUI was a big hassle. Nowadays, i can see the battery status of each device on Integrations page, so i was wondering if its any easier to show them in Lovelace too

split granite May 2, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

There's a couple of custom cards that handle that

#

I like https://github.com/maxwroc/battery-state-card - available through HACS

cedar girder May 2, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

Looks awesome, but seems that it still requires a list of entities containing battery state which i believe are not provided (at least not in Zwave-over-MQTT). Maybe thats not lovelace releated, but i was wondering if its possible to hook that up to the information provided on the integration page, not the entities

split granite May 2, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

Eh, no

#

By default we look for values in the following attributes: battery_level, battery.

#

So, as long as either you have an entity with the battery as the state, or one of those attributes, or you can specify the attribute, it'll work

@tall pine conditional card is what you're after https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/conditional/ (it can be added via the UI too if you're using a newer version of HA).

latent moss May 2, 2020, 5:10 PM

@flint geyser check your configuration.yaml file and make sure that it has scene: and automation: inside of it. Easier and cleaner way would be to just add default_config: and then you'll be set for the future too.

@atomic glacier firstly, I hope you're all okay and resting up?!? Secondly, I'd love to hear your suggestion. While the rotate worked scaling was a issue between devices and I never cracked how to pass the sensor value into the rotate property. Over than creating 360 images and a huge if statement I can't seem to think of a better way to crack this. Any help would be most welcome.

atomic glacier May 2, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@potent grail Actually, I was thinking of using state-switch and only matching 16 of the 360 degrees available, (guess you could even do 64). Overlaying the needle image on top of a picture-elements card and having the state match and image 'swapped' for that templated match. (e.g. 25°, NNE, 225° SW) Since the design of this plugin is intended for this type purpose, state-switch will not require any refreshing as the variables change and the result may not be as fluid as you are aiming to achieve, but IMO will look pretty nice and get you past this point. Great work on your project BTW!

timid locust May 2, 2020, 8:03 PM

Hey, could someone link me to a guide on how to make your card support the visual card editor? I've been searching for like half an hour by now but just can't find it 😦

potent grail May 2, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

@atomic glacier thanks for the praise! I'm enjoying it and have lots more sensors to add. I've not used the state-switch before so will do some reading. I think 64 would allow for more movement in the compass which would be more visual and exciting. How are you and your wife?

Huh that's a lot more manual code than I expected, I kinda expected Home Assistant to parse some stuff to ensure uniformity. But thank you, I'll check that out in more detail so my card can have this too :)

latent moss May 2, 2020, 10:21 PM

@devout hatch if you're using YAML mode for Lovelace, that "Add to Lovelace UI" button will simply show you the YAML code, you then have to manually copy and paste it to whichever view you want it to be in.

You could have multiple dashboards now too, if you wanted to use YAML for one and the UI for another you can do that.

#

i just dont want to have a super old config that starts to break - i recall the update notes pushing users to use ui controlled over yaml

#

i was going to slowing migrate using views

#

5 screens with lots of stuff in them

latent moss May 3, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

I would say there's no real danger in the stuff you're talking about breaking... it's primarily YAML config for integrations that break. there's been very very few breaking changes for lovelace

#

so for lovelace it's more about what you're most comfortable with / which you prefer

vapid field May 3, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

ok cool

#

eventually it would be nice to get away from yaml config files, i'll see how it goes 😛

latent moss May 3, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

yeah

#

What you could do, go to Configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards. Make a new dashboard called "UI" or something. Then take control of that and start playing around with it and getting a feel for it. If you like it, you can start transitioning to that.

mild veldt May 3, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

Lovelace is stable. There should never be any breaking changes

novel finch May 3, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

I see 2 issues:

#

1^: some components use "d" and "h", some other "days" and "hours"

#

2^: when I switch to another language, then "days" and "hours" doesn't make really sense. Frontend should translate to "giorni" and "ore" (for italian)

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

Sounds like you want to submit PRs to change those integrations

novel finch May 3, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

as unit_of_measurement are a fixed list, should be quite easy to allow translations for those

#

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/35022

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

Well, it's not a fixed list

#

You can use a unit of measurement of bananas if you want

novel finch May 3, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

humm, ok then al least those used by template are a fixed list

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

Well, they're not either 😉

#

It does make sense for d to be days - but it's up to people to submit PRs for those changes

novel finch May 3, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

seems that project took the decision to go for "d" instead of "days. check the issue link I posted abbove

#

but not overall

#

templates still use "hours"; and using "h" gives an error

#

this is why I think the list is fixed 😉

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

Got an example?

#

I've previously used bananas in a template sensor 😉

#

As for that issue, it doesn't provide a source, so the statement should be treated with caution

Can I do a theme per device with the same User?

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:33 AM

Yup

@split granite , yup you are right

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

So use different themes 🤷

novel finch May 3, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

but still there is something using "d" and something using "days"; and those cannot all be changed to be consistent. And "d" and "h" cannot be translated, that make UI less readable and consistent (you have a mix of 2 languages)

split granite May 3, 2020, 10:37 AM

jagged ridge May 3, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

This might be the wrong place to ask but I'm not sure where I should. Please direct me if I'm in error. That said, Is there a Lovelace module that does timeseries graphs not using only a 24 hour window? I have my SolarEdge inverter integrated into Home Assistant and all the graphs only show the last 24 hours. Yet the graphs are for Current, Today, Month, Year, and Lifetime. I'd like to see graphs that cover those time ranges.

split granite May 3, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

Then... you want the InfluxDB integration and to keep your long term data there

#

HA's recorder isn't designed to handle years of data, I'm not sure it copes well with months or weeks 🤷

jagged ridge May 3, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

I should clarify. The Solar Edge data is pulled from the cloud. I'm just looking to view that data.

split granite May 3, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

If you want to view it in Home Assistant's graphs then it needs to be in Home Assistant's database (recorder)

jagged ridge May 3, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

When I adjust the graph's "Hours to show" value the x-axis labels still show 24 hours too, btw.

split granite May 3, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

Which card are you using?

jagged ridge May 3, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

history-graph

#

for example:

entities:
  - entity: sensor.outbuilding_1_energy_this_month
    name: Month
hours_to_show: 720
refresh_interval: 0
type: history-graph

split granite May 3, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

That uses HA's database

#

Hours to show. Minimum is 1 hour, maximum of 80 hours.

jagged ridge May 3, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

I have an influxDB container built and I think I have it integrated. I just haven't gotten further down that road yet. Sounds like I need to (even though I'm not needing to store the historical value... just want to display them. Yes?

split granite May 3, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

Yes, because:
a) The data you want isn't in HA
b) The card you're using doesn't go back far enough
c) HA's database is unlikely to have all the data you're after

#

Grafana or Chronograf will give you the graphs you're after, and you can embed those in HA's UI

jagged ridge May 3, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

I have started a Grafana container too. Do you have a good tutorial on integrating those into HA by chance?

split granite May 3, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Other than what's in the docs, I don't. I'm sure there'll be many guides out there though

@mild veldt had a bit of display issues post 109.+ and slowly getting to them one at a time. One of the things is the text in the rows on the list-card. The row height is now compacted and doesn't respond anymore to font-size adjustments,(the font-size works, but row doesn't expand). So basically, when the font gets to the fixed row height,(whatever that is set to), the text begins overunning the lines above and below instead of the row height increasing. Any ideas? Only tested on Chrome and FKB🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi! I have a sensor using history_stats that reports its value in hours as a decimal (e.g. 25 minutes is 0.44). When I click the widget, I see the nice time display, like value 25m. How can I make the main display look like this too? I tried the customizer and a variety of "hh:mm" or "time" values, but only got those displayed after the 0.44 value. Thanks.

#

Here's my config entry:

  name: Diffuser on time
  entity_id: switch.diffuser
  state: 'on'
  type: time
  start: "{{ state_attr('input_datetime.diffuser_last_refill_time', 'timestamp') }}"
  end: '{{ now() }}'

muted inlet May 5, 2020, 2:08 AM

@wicked lake you can make a template sensor that grabs the the value attribute of the history stats sensor

#

"{{ state_attr('sensor.diffuser_on_time', 'value') }}"

wicked lake May 5, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

Thanks. Since the value is already there, I was hoping there was a way to simply customise the display without creating yet another entity. Is there another way?

I think there's an attributes custom card or something like that

yes

You're using /local/TileBoard in the URL?

pine plinth May 5, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

yes, trying to open it with following link

Eh, no 😉

Look at what I wrote 😉

#

Look at the name of the folder you created

#

TileBoard != tileboard

pine plinth May 5, 2020, 9:59 AM

split granite May 5, 2020, 9:59 AM

You have to match the case of everything

I'd ask on one of the TileBoard threads on the forum then, you'll likely get more folks who know it seeing your query

pine plinth May 5, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

okay but the location of the www folder is correct? I found many tutorials online using docker and for them it seems to be in a different location. I am using the HA installation on my Raspberry

If you're using an image, you're using #330944238910963714 - aka Hass.io, aka Home Assistant

#

/config/ is where your config folder lives (as far as HA Core knows)

pine plinth May 5, 2020, 10:15 AM

@split granite using the ip address worked, using homeassistant.local:8123 did not work

That's where details on what didn't work would have helped 😉

Hi! I just have a question about using template to change state. Seems like for a window, Lovelace change himself "on/off" state to "open/closed" (in an entity card). I'm using a custom card (simple-thermostat) which allowed to add sensor on it, but if I'm putting the same entity as before (on the entity card), it show on/off, not open/closed.

I think about using template to change it, but I don't know how to use it in a card

split granite May 5, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

You can't

#

What you can do is set the device_class of a binary_sensor

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor#device-class

spiral flare May 5, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Maybe I'm missing something but seems like it's not what I'm searching. I switch device_class from "opening" to "window", it's still ok in an entity card "open/closed", but in my custom card it show the "real" state, which is "on/off"

wheat current May 5, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

report it to the author of that card

Ok, I tought there's a manual method directly in the card, I'll do that, thanks!

no, was just an example

#

the exact name is base_image.png , no capitals

I have plugins etc in the www directory that works so HA should be restarted since they work fine

or is a restart needed after uploading the files aswell?

Ah, I think they're after something else, no built in way to edit config
@split granite OK. I'll try to explain. I recently started over. I used to edit the configuration.yaml, but through recent changes i deciced to go UI-style. For adding - example - Samba share addon i need to edit the configuration. Where can i find that?

split granite May 5, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

Add-ons have their own configuration section in the UI, #add-ons-archived can help with that

#

Editing configuration.yaml has nothing to do with add-ons though, they're entirely unrelated - one is for HA, the other is for other software

#

There are add-ons that can allow you to edit that though, like the Visual Studio Code add-on

inland grail May 5, 2020, 12:36 PM

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to discuss access issues to the UI. If not, please direct me to the correct place...
I have been using HA happily for several weeks now. I managed to get duckdns configured and have been able to access HA from my PC and mobile phones. The phone access when away from home worked fine.

Today (having changed nothing for several weeks) my access using the duckdns address stopped working.
I can access using the IP address: https://192.168.1.247:8123/
I thought it might be a problem with the Lets Encrypt certificate so I forced an update by registering a new duckdns domain, adding it to the duckdns configuration within supervisor, and restarting. But that didn't help. So I've backed-out that change.
I've checked my IP address on duckdns to make sure it is correct (which it is).
On the browser (using an Incognito window) I get the message: "This site can’t be reached <mydomain>.duckdns.org took too long to respond."
I'm not sure where to look for error messages.
Any ideas?

Is there a way to hide a device_tracker location from the 'default' map tab (/map url)?

latent moss May 5, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

@true dragon Not possible, but if it really bothers you there's a sort of workaround.. You can create a dedicated "Map" view or dashboard with a Lovelace Map Card in panel_mode (which will make it full screen just like default /map tab). And with that method you can customize all the device trackers that show up there.

Thx @latent moss - didn't know if anything had changed on that front. I have an ipad setup at work that runs our employee timeclock app, and it throws the default map 'tab' outta whack sadly. I need to get the battery info from it (to know when to turn on / off the zwave plug that powers it, but I really don't care where it's at...). Seem odd there's not a customization setting to 'hide' it - but oh well - I'll play around with your workaround - ty!

odd nexus May 6, 2020, 2:14 PM

not sure if this is the right channel, but i seem to be having an issue with a switch showing the correct state after being changed. I have a lightswitch (switch domain) that if it is off and you toggle it on it shows on for 3 seconds then reverts back to the off status. This is a zwave device (hs-ws200) and i have seen this before with the dimmers. the fix i use there is to use the "refresh_value" and "delay" function on those entities. per the wiki, those functions are only available on the light domain. to clarify, this is ONLY an issue on the lovelace view and fixes itself if you refresh the page. if i open another page with the developer tools>states and toggle the device the states page updates correctly. I even tried creating a template device to see if that would fix it, nope exact same behavior. any suggestions?

You want panel-mode https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/dashboards-and-views/#panel

Then you use a vertical stack card with the grafana card first, and then layout-card with all your other cards inside. That's exactly the use case layout-card was made for originally.

hexed furnace May 6, 2020, 10:21 PM

@tawdry root I assume you mean on the overview. An automation can be a badge. So you click on it and it runs the automation

It is an entitty too

#

So you can use the Entity card as well

tawdry root May 6, 2020, 10:22 PM

hmm ok, before lovelace I believe they automatically showed up and now they dont

is there a way to get them to automatically appear by default or would I need to create badges for every automation

hexed furnace May 6, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

Before you start editing your own dashboard HA makes a dashboard for you with every possible entity. I think that is what you saw before.

#

You can create a new dashboard and it should default to this.

#

I'm no expert. Just saw this as I was screwing around with dashboards for the first time today. Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

#

You can't have that make automations that it's too hard to create them right?

Hey guys, I'm a long time "lite" user of Home Assistant, but I want to start customizing it more. I'm not yet ready to fully setup and maintain my own lovelace cards, I'd like to keep the default ability for new entities to automatically show up on the dashboard/overview page. I would like to change the default view for my fan entities however to a custom one. Is there a way to some how globally change the way a particular entity is displayed while retaining the ability for automatic entity view generation?

polar kelp May 6, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

No.

#

But you can make a separate dashboard for the fans, and keep the auto generated one too.

How would you reference a entity_picture attribute of a media_player entity to use as a background/image for a Lovelace card (likely picture-entities card for flexibility)?

#

Want to whack the thumbnail of the currently playing Plex media onto my media display Lovelace tab.

do you have something like this in your config?
http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
  - 127.0.0.1

This is for apache?
I use nginx so is this correct?

Yes that's what I found too. But is there no other way to customize?

probably 2 other options:

Make a PR to add a more spesific var.
Use card-mod to change it for that spesific card

Hello I want to use the frontend automation to reset the state of a motion sensors so it picks up motion again ie to reset the time, I have deconz setup and can see the motion can detect movement, how do I go about this?

wheat current May 7, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

you can't set the state of a sensor

split granite May 7, 2020, 12:28 PM

#

You need to "fix" that at the sensor, or in deCONZ

lucid bronze May 7, 2020, 12:29 PM

#

this resets it

#

'on': true
friendly_name: Motion Sensor
device_class: motion

#

so now I want it to do this lets say 10 seconds after it gets sensed for example

split granite May 7, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

Resets it where?

#

Other than devtools -> States there's no universal way of changing the state of any sensor

#

You can't automate that

lucid bronze May 7, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

ohh I see, is there technical reason we can't do that?

split granite May 7, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

Because it doesn't change the actual state of the entity, just what HA thinks

#

Basically, you're doing Jedi mind tricks

#

The sensor is still in the same state, and the next time the integration sends an update it'll revert to whatever the integration sends

#

So, as said, fix it upstream - in this case deCONZ

lucid bronze May 7, 2020, 12:37 PM

okay thanks 🙂 makes sense

Hi, I'm having issues to get tap_action to work with the light-card. Regarding to the action docs it should work. I manage to get hold_action and double_tap_action to work. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it a bug?

Hi all. I have configured some generic camera entities. Then I show them on my floor map as image

#

camera_image: camera.cucina
entity: camera.cucina
style:
border: 2px solid red
border-radius: 10%
left: 76%
top: 30%
width: 10%
type: image

#

When the image gets updated with the new one, I see an horizontal line between the 2 camera images (the old one, horizontal red line, then the new one)

#

Is there a way to avoid this horizontal line and show only the transition

#

from old to new image?

@dapper grotto To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example:

Question about state_color...I understand this option to set the icon color to change for the entity when active, and it seems to work. HOWEVER, when I add this line to an entities card configuration, I get a notice which says, "Expected a value of type undefined for state_color but received true." Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

You could never change the ID, that integration never supported that.
You can set a name in your config.

Ok. My problem is I am not using the right terminology. Sorry about that. I'll use "name", which should get past my issue. Thanks @wheat current

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

with the new NWS integration only being through the interface I guess there is no way to set NWS integration to be day mode and not daynight mode

smoky peak May 7, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Ok, it seems I am still having trouble...I had already used the "name" in my config for this entity. It used to work just fine. However, in "entities" that entity with the corresponding "name" is "unavailable", and another entity has shown up in its place, one with an ugly name I don't want to use. I can't delete the unavailable one because of the whole "doesn't have a unique id" blah blah. So apparently "name" does not work for flux_led any more, but the platform works, because I can add the entity with the ugly name, and toggle it on and off in the UI; I just can't configure it. Suggestions?

#

@ivory horizon to your previous comment about the integration being broken. No, not broken, because HA recognizes and can control the entity, at least partly. I just can't get past how to configure this entity like I could before all the changes of the last few months.

Hi, I have a strange issue with the frontend on 0.109.2. I use the time_date integration within several automations. As soon as I want to add a new card in the frontend, the modal takes ages to load. I guess it is due to the preview of the history graph card, which of the hundreds of sensors I use shows a preview of the sensor.time history. And that happens to consist of one state change per minute, which seems to slow down the UI extremely

#

All time_date sensors are excluded from history and logbook, and I even tried to hide it via customizations (no effect). Does someone else have the same issue? Is there a way to specify which sensors should be used in the preview for new cards?

split granite May 7, 2020, 8:46 PM

@sour crag You have to develop your change and then submit it - see the developer docs at https://developers.home-assistant.io/

sour crag May 7, 2020, 8:47 PM

compact bloom May 7, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Oh, I figured it out. The problem for me was that I didn't show the time_date entities anywhere in my UI (since I only use them in automations). HA, friendly as it is, selects unused entities for the preview of new cards. So the solution was to add a new section in my dashboard and add all time_date entities to it. Problem solved 🤔

#

Hmm, not really solved, I guess. This workaround only works within a single dashboard. So if I change to another dashboard, the problem reappears, until I add a new "hidden" tab and add the time_date entities to it...

@polar kelp that square I posted earlier was touchpad for directional navigation! Swiping up, down, left and right from anywhere within the box will result in navigating to those directions. So you don't need to look down to your phone to see where you're clicking!

This is a much better system for media control, specially for smart TVs!

In HA that would basically mean a call service when it detects a swipe-left gesture

#

so where is it now

limpid apex May 7, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Go to configurations

#

Then look for Lovelace dashboards

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

yup I don't see resources there

limpid apex May 7, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

What version of HA are you running?

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

0.109.5

limpid apex May 7, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

So you should have it

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

I see all my dashboards

#

I see an add button to add more dashboards

#

I see an open button to open the dashboard

#

Clicking on a dashboard says it is in yaml mode and cannot be edited by ui

#

Hmm I don't have that tab

#

I wonder why

limpid apex May 7, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

thats odd

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

Mine just says Dashboards that is the only tab

#

maybe because I am in yaml mode

limpid apex May 7, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

most likely

#

all my resources got moved there automatically

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

well that is annoying

mild veldt May 7, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

@ivory horizon turn on advanced mode for your profile

ivory horizon May 7, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

huzzah

#

thanks

#

wonder why advanced wasn't already enabled

#

darn still doesn't work

#

gives an error saying I can't manage resources because I am in yaml mode

#

have to use configuration.yaml

#

@sour crag I found a fix for the vertical fit issue on picture element

#

If you have card mod installed

#

add the following to your picture element

#

style: 
      "hui-image":
        $: |
          div img {
            height: 100vh;
            width: 100vw;
          }

#

it will make the picture element fit 100% in both width and height of the screen it is displayed on

#

Anyone know a good way to get a grafana graph on lovelace?

#

I tried Iframe but it says I am not authorized and forces me to go to grafana first then back to dashboard

Hi Folks, I've added a picture elements card for a unifi camera I have. When I click the card, it opens the more-info to show the live stream in a larger window. Is it possible to adjust the size of the more-info card?

#

The card it opens is so big that I need to scroll just to see the camera stream

#

How would you reference a entity_picture attribute of a media_player entity to use as a background/image for a Lovelace card (likely picture-element card for flexibility)?

icy patrol May 8, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

has anyone been able to stream their camera to a firestick?

polar kelp May 8, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

@true wasp try clicking the header of the popup

true wasp May 8, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

@polar kelp Wow, after all this time, I didn't know you could click in the header. Thank you so much!

polar kelp May 8, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

Works on all more-info popups. Try it on something with a graph.

true wasp May 8, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

that is crazy! Ha ha I didn't know you could do that. So much more data on the graphs

#

I've been missing it all this time

#

thanks again!
