@mild veldt - I'm working on it 🙂 Can I use a template for the service to call on action?
service: "{% if is_state('states.timer.piano_practice.state', 'paused') %} timer.start {% else %} timer.pause {% endif %}" gives me an error - no templating allowed here, it seems. And I can't use service_template for this field as far as I can see.

I can call a script that has the template and calls the right service, but I was hoping to do it without yet another entity...

Sweet. service: '[[[ if (entity.state == "paused") return "timer.start"; else return "timer.pause" ]]]'

Is there a way to change the tap action depending on the state of the entity. My use case is that if my vacuum is currently operating, I would like to make it return to the base with a tap and when it is not operating, it should start to clean on a tap.
karmic tiger
@spice mauve If the card you're using supports templates for the tap action, yes.
spice mauve
which one would that be for example?
karmic tiger
There are many. It matters more which one you're using...
The button-card custom card, for example, accepts templates for all of its action fields: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#action
If you're using a build-in Lovelace card, you may be more limited.
spice mauve
ok, cool, thanks for the information!

@spice mauve - scroll up several posts and see a JS template I just worked out for a very similar thing (timer pause/start).

Hi, I have a bit of an odd problem with the new calendar panel. I can see all my todoist calendars listed and my google calendars. Except there are no entries. If I comment out the todoist integration the google calendars appear. I do have some errors in the log about todoist, but it does work as I can see all the todoist projects listed in states in the developer panel... has anyone else reported anything like this? I made a comment on the update announcement on the forum but no one has mentioned anything.

Can I ask a question about HACS here? I have upgraded to version 1 and now my plugins do not work anymore. The path in the browser is https://<homeassistant>/community_plugin/<plugin-name>/<javascript-file>.js but the folder on the system is /config/www/community/<plugin-name>/<javascript-file>.js and is not found. Do the plugins need to be updated? This applies e.g. for mini-graph-card.
split granite
https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/tag/1.0.0 lists the breaking changes
spice mauve
does that mean that the plugins have to be adjusted or can this be done with configuration of hacs or stuff?
split granite
/community_plugin has been deprecated for quite a while now
Just updating your resources should fix it
spice mauve
which resources would that be?
split granite
The lovelace resources 😉
-> Lovelace -> Resources if you're using the UI
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/dashboards-and-views/#resources if you're using YAML mode
spice mauve
ah, right, now I remember, I was looking for that in HACS and behind the three dots in the frontend but did not find it, thanks for the hint!

That's because HACS is a tool for installing other things

Hello Community, is it possible to create a card that shows only turned on devices?
split granite
Yes
There's at least two cards in https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/ with names that should give hints about being relevant 😉
The Entity Filter card allows you to define a list of entities that you want to track only when in a certain state. Very useful for showing lights that you forgot to turn off or show a list of people only when they’re at home.
sour crag
"The use of other attributes than device state attributes is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Invalid attributes are ['brightness_pct']. Read the logs for further details: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/scene/"
is this only relevant for scene, or for scripts as well? (couldn't find anything about it on the linked page)
split granite
If it applied to scripts, it would also be in the script docs 😉
twilit remnant
Thank you Tinkerer :) Do I have to set all the entities that should show there? because a wildcard light light.* doesn't work :/
sour crag
it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the scene docs either?

There's an auto-entities custom card that may help there @twilit remnant

but, anyhow, as long as that weirdness only applies to scenes, not scripts, I guess I am fine

They handle cards

tough quiver
Is it possible to make a gauge card out of an attribute to an entity?
tough quiver
so no then
earnest swallow
Purely within the UI - no. But you can create a second sensor, which has a value/state of the attribute, and put that sensor into the gauge
split granite
There is a custom component that allows you to do it all in the UI
tough quiver
Yeah - I intended to do a template sensor but wasn't sure if specifying an attribute directly in the UI was possible.
ooh - interesting, which one is that?
tough quiver
ah 👍
oh that creates the template sensors.
I guess I was thinking more this
while I'm here I might aswell ask.

It’s possible but you need to use a custom field and return an icon from it. My configuration has examples. FYI it’s painful because you have to style every aspect.

That issue will be closed almost instantly

Not sure what you mean.. you just need to figure out the css style that fits your needs
drifting karma
seems weird its only an issue when i collapse the side bar to icons only

Are you using custom header?
drifting karma
yes

It’s more likely that then anything else
drifting karma
i took out
custom_header:
background: repeat url('https://thatkookooguy.github.io/https-assets/bg-kibibit-theme.png')
and its still an issue
tacit cave
No you have to disable custom header to turn it off
Removing from your config doesn’t remove it
drifting karma
you mean remove it from resources?
tacit cave
No there’s a disable command that you send to your url
drifting karma
there is?
tacit cave
Yes, it’s probably covered in the docs
drifting karma
i added ?disable_ch at the end, though it filled the screen, if i scroll down the gap is still there
weird it wont just fill everything with the picture
seems to be an issue with the custom header
drifting karma
yeah
tacit cave
I just find it odd that only you are seeing it. What browser?
drifting karma
chrome/safari
i will keep googling, appreciate the guidance, it seems fine when it first loads for a few seconds, then it wont wokr

So chrome/safari takes the old school css approach. Include that in your searches

not all are lights, some are switches

Switches are on/off though

I don't think you can use them as a flat entity like the entities are. the light card is more like a button interface with a slider built in
icy patrol
yea i see that the light is like a button
sacred axle
and yes you can use smart switches on light cards
icy patrol
i was looking to keep them flat
sacred axle
you will probably have to find a custom card then. At least I don't know of a way to make the light entity flat
icy patrol
maybe when the dimming is on, then show the slider ona new row - is that possible
sacred axle
I've noticed that lovelace built in entities are pretty basic. Most of what you will end up using is custom cards other's have created

Hi all, i've got HASSIO setup on a raspi3B+ and running for some months. All happy and all, got it mostly on desktop to configure things and also on my phone (P20) to enable things. I also got some HACS plugins for Lovelace (like button-card and slider-entity).
Now i wanted to use my old Nexus 7 as a wall-mount so I can use it to turn on lights in the house. Got a problem where it wont load-in these HACS intergrations "custom element doesn't exists: button-card.".
I think that is weird, cause im logged-in as the same user as my desktop and phone... Do i need to include the Nexus 7 somewhere? Can't remember that i had to do something special for my P20 phone?

I have no idea, but it looks like HACS is officialy supported by HA and it works great. The community is huge and there are plugins for everything.
dark dirge
Everything you find in HACS is not tested by Home Assistant, that includes HACS itself.
The HACS and Home Assistant teams do not support anything you find here.
worthy cosmos
supported in like "it does work great"
Not like >its made by HA and they support it

@worthy cosmos @dark dirge THanks - I think the sponge is full for today. Sounds like next best thing. I'll give it a try when the sponge isn't quite as full.

Oke guys, found the problem. It looked like the default WebView of LineageOS couldn't handle the load-in of the HACS plugins. I changed it in "Developer options > WebView implementation > (It was AOSP WebView, I changed it to Chrome Stable). Now it's working all fine!

Hello - I absolutly know what my password is for HA, but it refuses to change, or accept my password at login. Is there an easy way to change my password without "knowing" the old one? Running env on raspberry pi.

card:
type: entities
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
filter:
include:
- entity_id: media_player.plex_*
options:
group: true
type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
state: playing
``` ^ this works really well to show all of the currently active Plex sessions without showing a whole bunch of idle/unavailable accounts, but I can't seem to get it to show anything but a blank background regardless of what attributes I specify for `artwork`I'm updated to the newest HA and the newest mini-player from HACS that upgraded to today
tight scarab
@swift marten is it included in the lovelace resources?
configuration -> lovelace dashboards -> resources
swift marten
I'm not sure where to look for that- in my files on the pi or in the UI?
tight scarab
sorry, pinged the wrong person
swift marten
ah hold on let me check
tight scarab
or just go to /config/lovelace/resources
old hacs used to have a button or prompt you to automatically add it there; I think newhacs does it automatically without asking
but I'm not 100% sure
swift marten
in the resources area it says this:
/community_plugin/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js
tight scarab
Is that where yours is? 🙂
dark dirge
That needs to be /hacsfiles/ now
tight scarab
mine is in /hacsfiles/mini-media-player (/config/www/community)
swift marten
let me edit it and see
will I need to restart now to see or will it fix itself if that was the issue?
dark dirge
Changing resources requires calling the reload_resources service now or restarting
tight scarab
Oh. That's new then, sorry.

GAH
that was it
thanks guys...been driving me insane all weekend
does every resource have to be switched to hacsfiles now?

No, that’s just where HACS puts them.

@pastel rain anything can be put on the picture-elements card, but some core cards need to be pre-loaded and if using a core card you need to use the hui-<card name>-card trick

There’s a ‘clear front end cache’ option at the bottom of the app settings

Hi all, good day
Are there ans custom button card specialists around here? I'm new to it and kind of overwhelmed by it's multi functionality. Here the gathered requirements:
lovelace horizontal stack
- button card 1: showing night or day (entity sun.sun; states above_horizon, below_horizon) and elevation rising or sinking (entity sun.sun; atribute rising, value true or false) with an arrow up or down in top right corner. Total of 4 diffferend card states.
- button card 2: showing timestamp for next event sun setting or next rising, depending on what comes next (if above horizon setting, else rising), icons mdi:weather-sunset-up and mdi:weather-sunset-down (entity sun.sun; atributes next_rising or next_setting; frontend timestamp localized with timestamp_custom("%a, %d.%m. — %H:%M:%S")
Anyone else interested in this or wanting to contribute a bit?
ahh, forgott the icons for night or day @@
night: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/bramkragten/weather-card@1.4.3/dist/icons/night.svg
day: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/bramkragten/weather-card@1.4.3/dist/icons/day.svg

I don't think that's supported in the new method yet, but you can approximate the old method.
@polar kelp Does that mean that my icons need to have the correct size in order to be scaled correctly?

Hi All, I'm having issues with one device on my network (An old iPad im trying to repurpose as a terminal for a room in the house). Both using the App and Safari yields the same errors, hence moving this issue in here.
Essentially I appear to be having a connection error. I can register the device, log in, view lovelace (Inc a live feed of a camera and media players). However trying to turn entiities/devices on and off does nothing. The switch isnt greyed out either, its as if i am switching things off and on but the devices do not work. I also cannot see a lot of the integrations and addons in my rhs panel. Sometimes they appear, sometimes not. Even when they do, I cannot load any pages up other than Lovelace most of the time. Even supervisor!
Ive also tried Chrome for iPad, to be sure.
Also, its working fine on a Macbook Pro, Windows 10 PC, iPhone 11 Pro, and latest gen iPad. It appears to just be the 1 device I actually want to be able to use to control homeassistant from that is faulty. Of course!
leaden yarrow
What generation is the iPad?
solemn cairn
4th!
leaden yarrow
Assuming it's fully up to date with iOS 10?
solemn cairn
10.3.3
solemn cairn
Yep, Ive tried a factory reset, renaming the iPad to ensure no clashes there, static IP given
leaden yarrow
Try to create a new account that is specific for that device
I had a weird issue with my kindle where i tried to login with my admin credentials
and it just wouldn't take -- kept on hanging
I created a specific account/login for it
solemn cairn
Okay, tried that. Still the same issue.
leaden yarrow
So it "halfway" loads
solemn cairn
Yeah, I can view lovelace, even the live stream. Switches appear functional, but arent. I can sometimes see all my adons, sometimes cant, if I try to load anything I get errors about connections.
leaden yarrow
I bet you it's an addon
solemn cairn
Also on first login, I get "unable to connect" hit retry, login and it then logs in
If i go into configuration, for example, I can see options. But trying to enter any of the options results in an endlessly spinning wheel or "error while loading page..."
Supervisor also doesnt load
leaden yarrow
10.3.3 is relatively old but should still support some browser components
solemn cairn
indeed, I was hoping i could make use of it anyway.
leaden yarrow
It honestly might be a limitation there
solemn cairn
its odd because it allows me to install the latest app, and app has the same issue
solemn cairn
ah i see i see
leaden yarrow
for the hell of it, try opera or firefox?
solemn cairn
its strange how it'll load lovelace and allow me to interact with it all no problem, just results in nothing.
I'll try firefox, may as well
leaden yarrow
i'm not a dev, but i work for a mobile app company, so i know enough that most of these apps share services from the OS
solemn cairn
😦
solemn cairn
Ah piss!
leaden yarrow
This might be an idea -- but maybe make a dashboard that's compatible w/ Ios 10.3.3 use all barebones cards
solemn cairn
I wonder if any of the third party tile apps. work.
leaden yarrow
or use tileboard
yeah
i was gonna suggest that
Homekit might work?
homebridge***
solemn cairn
does homebridge essentially allow all my cheap shit to work with home app?
leaden yarrow
Bingo
I use it so my wife can use her home app to control her stuff
And I have it connected to home assistant so I can control what entities she can control or not
She'll never control the thermostat on my watch
let's just hope that the home app actually works on 10.3.3
solemn cairn
hahahah nice one, its on here so ill give it a go after lunch. Thanks dude!
leaden yarrow
yep good luck !

Is there a way to Use an attribute value as variable in a Picture Element configuration code?
Basically, I am trying to use the brightness of a light as the opacity percentage of a state_image. In order to accurately reflect the brightness in a room in a 3d plan.

Those aren't just display names, they are keys. You'd have to make a custom JS plugin to change it to have different display names
@vapid field what card are you using to display text? Markdown?

hi Villhellm. its a condition card
vapid field
if condition is matched it displays a sensor. the sensor is a text.
i do have a screenshot. but donno where to put it...

You could use a markdown card to split the sensor value into multiple lines
vapid field
i dont wanna split the text, i wanna displayed them in full, without shortening. the override with a markdowncard may work.
why im asking: in earlier versions of HA it worked without any hassle. since <i forgot> its shortened.
0.97 or such. cant remember.
i am looking for a trick, something like masking it with special characters, or such. isnt there any trick?
i tried all i know, none worked

I'm trying to set up the custom header module, but I get this error: `Invalid config for [lovelace]: [custom_header] is an invalid option for [lovelace]. Check: lovelace->lovelace->custom_header. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 20).`HACS successfully installed the custom-header.js to /www/community/custom-header and based on their documentation the custom_header config goes under lovelace
elder pendant
Custom Header config goes in ui-lovelace.yaml. Not in configuration.yaml

"Configure UI" and then "Raw Config Editor" or in the file ui-lovelace.yaml
Though the example yaml shows the resources block still, so I can see how you were confused

Little question, is it possible to hide the icon of an entity in a entities card ? I tried "show-icon: false", "icon: none", "icon: '' " but no result
@edgy canopy So it means it's not possible ?
candid lintel
Huh look at that..Home Assistant Core 0.110.3 You are currently running version 0.110.2
guess I'll do the update
elder pendant
So not latest 😉
@edgy canopy icon: none works for me
in fact icon: followed by anything that's not a valid icon shows blank
edgy canopy
Yeah but the space is empty, no solution for removing the space ? Because the text of the state need more space (see https://imgur.com/a/aFwvdcF )
elder pendant
Then there is no default way to do that. You'd have to use a custom row type or a different card altogether
edgy canopy
Okay, I will try to use custom button card. But I want the last-changed time. In entities the time is relative and in my language ("there is 1 day ago...") but in button card I've "2020-05-26T15:39:01.044010+00:00", is there a function like "as_timestamp(states.sensor.mysensor.last_changed)" to do the same job as last-changed phrase in entities ?
elder pendant
You can use a markdown card with a template to display anything you want
edgy canopy
Great idea but no function to convert a timestamp into the best unit according to the value ?
candid lintel
Updated, and on the lastest version of HA! I still see the shadow when I click on a button, even on a fresh view https://imgur.com/9xTTFhl

I am trying out the Lovelace layout-card. I quite simply want columns that I can add cards to, three columns that theoretically can become as tall as they want, stacked side-by-side. Can someone please let me know the concept I need to adapt?
candid lintel
Sounds like you want a combination of vertical stack and horizontal stack cards
in the example i just posted i have 2 rows of 4 cards
fallow oak
So, a horizontal-stack card that surrounds multiple vertical-stack cards?
candid lintel
yea pretty much
fallow oak
Let me try that! Thanks!
fallow oak
Not sure you got the time right there....
Here is my current lovelace config: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Xyx3mnbwB/
But the columns are compressed horizontally.... They only share the width of one column (if that makes sense)
elder pendant
You need to set the view to panel mode
random bramble
Has anyone managed to add a datefield or datapicker on the frontend on lovelace and pass those values into a mysql procedure or query?
fallow oak
So, the current config + panel mode?
random bramble
Perfect thanks Magnus in this moment just found https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_datetime/. Well looks like I'll be busy tonight!
fallow oak
Hehe... Best of luck!
Another related question... Are there any fillers available? Now that I have three vertical stack side-by-side I´d like to bump cards in one column dow so that it matches the card in the column besides it...
Not sure that made any sense.... 😕
karmic tiger
You mean you want some vertical padding between cards?
elder pendant
You could try markdown
karmic tiger
Alternatively, there are custom cards that can help with layouts. E.g. https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card#vertical-layout
Not something I've done yet, so I don't know what the best answer is. My dash is a mess 😄
fallow oak
The layout-card is the reason I´m here in the first place...
@elder pendant I´ll give it a try!
elder pendant
Might want to try vertical stack in card as well if you want a seamless look
fallow oak
Is that anything else than vertical-stack?
elder pendant
It turns it all into one seamless card, so you don't actually see the separation between cards

raven ember
Lovelace question! Can you use only one sensor on a entity that has 4 sensors on a history graph?
You can see on the posted link that there are 4 sensor temperatures for a single entity. I want only one of them to show. The HA documentation on this lovelace card doesn't seem to have any information about how to fix this.
elder pendant
That's a climate entity, not a sensor. Check Developer Tools > States to see if there is a sensor there with the value you're looking for
raven ember
Doesn't look like there is a specific sensor. The value of "current temp" is an attribute of the climate entity.
elder pendant
You can make a template sensor for an attribute
raven ember
Ah. Interesting idea. I'll try that. Thanks!
raven ember
@elder pendant Taking your advice from earlier. I made a template sesnor and set it to the entity attribute. But now i'm getting unit issues, even tho in the config I should have it the exact same. Look at these images to see the issue, and the developer state checker to compare units: https://imgur.com/a/D6MjFXP

I’ve added new Shellies (with MQTT) manually to the config via the file editor and when restarting via Configuration…server controls…restart does not seem to do anything. I have to manually unpulg my pi3 for the devices to be recognised in the states. Am I doing something wrong? I think the restart has stopped working?

Which files is safe to remove from .storage folder which is equal to fresh install with no entities? Config files outside is another thing I will handle.
The thing is after upgrade to the latest build strange things happens with frontend addons, missing icons in left menu and so on. And searching for other methods to try before reinststall the whole system.
Tried restore backup, but when I perform upgrade the strange thing appears again

tap-action: call-service
service: homeassistant.toggle
entity_id: group.loft
style:
left: 44%
top: 28%
background: white```
When I click on the button nothing seems to happen. I've also tried doing the same thing by calling a script that toggles the group entities. But I get an error saying it can't find the script, but from the UI I can run the script and it works. How do I toggle my group (that contains 3 switch entities)?Any idea what's wrong with this:
type: glance
entities:
- entity: light.tv_plafond
tap_action:
action: toggle
oops sorry, didn't know how to make paste it like everyone does

@tardy niche that's not how you use actions.
Actually, that doesn't even use actions.

For some reason, my template sensor is in "F" and the rest are in "oF"

did you define it as in degrees F ?
like I have one:
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "Relay/sensors/temperature"
name: "Downstairs Relay Temperature"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
That's weird that it's defined as °F but shows as just F
raven ember
exactly
elder pendant
Did you ever have it defined as just F?
raven ember
I can try real quick
elder pendant
No I mean did you have it set to F before setting it to °F
raven ember
I believe i did the first time.
elder pendant
Then you have values in your database with just F which is causing them to appear as F in history
You need to purge your DB of every entry related to this entity
raven ember
Best way to go about doing this?
elder pendant
alternatively you can just wait until your next purge cycle

@mild veldt using your card now, but in the JS templating, how might I get at entity attributes? I can get the (in my case) states['fan.dyson_pure_cool_link'].state (on) but am trying to dig into the state attributes (oscillating = true)
steady sluice
How easy would it be to send a push notification to my phone with a photo of a camera on my network, and a button to turn on an entity whenever a door is opened?
I looked into the notification thing on the wiki but it doesnt say much I can understand
atomic glacier
That would be actionable notifications and more likely a quicker response in #android-archived or #ios_and_mac-archived
mild veldt
@tight scarab there's an example at the bottom of the ReadMe

When the frontend becomes inaccessible, what should I look for in the logs? I'm running HA in a VM, and HA is up and running and logging stuff in real time - but, after a restart, I cannot access via IP or URL (DuckDNS ).
tight scarab
I'm sorry I didn't see that Ian, I was only looking at the variables section at the top of that example.
Failed to call service fan/oscillate. invalid boolean value ${states['fan.dyson_pure_cool_link'].attributes.oscillating == 'false' ? 'true' : 'false' } for dictionary value @ data['oscillating'] still seems to be unhappy though. I'll keep mucking with it, at least feels like I'm on the right track with the JS templating. 🙂
elder pendant
Have you tried losing the single quotes around the boolean values?
tight scarab
Same message. But good to know if they are treated as constants and not literals
mild veldt
@tight scarab how are you using this?

tight scarab
in a custom:button-card inside of a custom:config-template-card inside of a custom:vertical-stack-in-card 🙂
mild veldt
So the problem is it wants a yaml true/false but the config-template-card returns a string
tight scarab
can I cast it somehow
tight scarab
I guess I could do that. This is a floor tower fan that has some extra settings like "oscillating" or "night mode" where the LED display goes dim and it'd just be nice to have a single toggle button for each of those rather than separate buttons to turn the mode on or off
There are any number of ways around it, I suppose I could even create an input_boolean and have it trigger a script or automation when it gets toggled
overkill? maybe
mild veldt
You're essentially trying to put a script in Lovelace as is. I think a single script should be able to handle all states

I have some covers that have position and tilt attributes. I have an entities card that lists them all and gives the standard up/stop/down buttons for covers. I then added to each entity listed a: secondary_info: tilt-position This works but after a reboot it won't show any of the secondary infos unless that attribute is changed. The line is totally blank. Once I change the tilt, I'll get "Tilt position: 64" displayed. Is this something related to KNX sensors or an issue with Lovelace or my config?

Ok odd one here. I have a lovelace card with the url path to grafana for a graph. If I use my duckdns as the domain in the url it will work on my phone (local wifi), but get a 401 error on my pc browser for the same graph. If I swap it by putting 192.168.1.26:8123 in the url as the domain for the graph it will show on my pc browser but get the 401 error on the phone app then. Its one or the other. Am I missing something? Thanks

Hi all
I have a MQTT sensor for PIR motion detect
with two statuses
"Spento" and "Movimento"
how can I colour the state-icon
on the floor map
with two different colours, depending on the status?
split granite
Make sure it's a binary_sensor
dapper grotto
That's my definition
''' - platform: mqtt
state_topic: "homeassistant/pir1/status"
name: "Pir Veranda"
unit_of_measurement: ""
value_template: '{{ value | round(0) }}''''
How shall I change it?
split granite
You didn't answer the question 😉
dapper grotto
You didn't make a question 😉
but a statement
it's a sensor... normal one
not binary_sensor
tight scarab
I think what he's saying is you should probably add a binary_sensor
if you want to know if there is movement or not
tight scarab
Or you could do things the long way and create an automation or script to push an icon/color change
dapper grotto
Can I define a binary sensor as mqtt?
if statuses are "Spento" and "Movimento"
?
elder pendant
Yes
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor.mqtt/ just define payload_on and payload_off
tight scarab
sounds like you'd probably need to define a sensore_binario instead

It sounds like you want something that lets you generate the HTML yourself on the fly. That way, you could add the size attribute to the <select> element. Unless there's a card that lets you specify that attribute... which seems less likely.
This might let you do it but it's more involved. https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#javascript-templates

@leaden yarrow is there a place in this article that explains how to fix my issue?
leaden yarrow
Did you see the last post in the discussion?
dapper grotto
let me check
leaden yarrow
It's talking about streaming and how to setup the camera
But I don't use the camera element
So I can't say how well it works or if it does
leaden yarrow
I apologize, I might have misread what you wrote
leaden yarrow
i'm re-reading your question, it might be -- because the user in this issue is looking to get a constant stream in their camera, yours keeps breaking during the refresh
there might be something there
dapper grotto
I'll re-check
It's different ones...
he wants live image in the floormap
I tested live image, and it's slowing down everything (with 12 cameras)
so I have still image that refresh every whatever seconds
leaden yarrow
gotcha
dapper grotto
but during this refresh... I got the blank image
and it's annoying... cause it's bigger, ugly and covers the rest of the map
dapper grotto
I use Chrome
With Edge, I cannot even load the custom components... I see a lot of red boxes with error messages
leaden yarrow
Have you tried just using the image on a card of it's own to isolate the problem?
So to see if it renders the same blank image without being involved in the picture elements master floor plan card
If it does the same thing, then you have an issue with the entity, if it doesn't then we know for sure it's the card
dapper grotto
I have another card
with camera_image and picture-glance
and it works perfectly
Maybe the problem is type: image
but I cannot use picture-glance on a floorplan map
leaden yarrow
Right, it might be that, there might be some addons/plugins for picture elmenets that you may be able to utilize
dapper grotto
I hope so 😦
hexed furnace
@dapper grotto I'm guessing your back tick issue is that you are using an Italian keyboard: https://superuser.com/questions/667622/italian-keyboard-entering-the-tilde-and-backtick-characters-without-cha You'll need to map it, copy/paste as you did just now or use Alt codes (Alt-96).
When changing pictures in lovelace you need to clear browser data each time. It's a pain in the ass but it won't show any updated images otherwise.
I keep telling myself I need to add a shortcut button for clearing browser cache each time I'm debugging Lovelace. Then I forget when I get it working 😉
dapper grotto
@hexed furnace how shall I do it?
the camera image is updating automatically
the blank image appears only between the two updates
from old image to new image
sometimes I get a plain horizontal red line...
the border becomes a line without the image
hexed furnace
I was thinking more about images. Let me try a live image myself in a picture-elements card and see what it does.
hexed furnace
It seems to be the card. I can get it working in picture-entity but not picture-elements.
From the docs it seems like it should work.

You can pick a default dashboard per device.

Under Configuration -> Lovelace dashboards, you can select a dashboard and click "Set as default on this device".

anyone explain what I'm missing. trying to get a local image to show. if i use the full url it works but the local path does not.
IE 'still_image_url: https://duck.duckdns.org:8123/local/img/basement.jpg'
vs 'still_image_url: /local/img/basement.jpg'
muted inlet
Use the full local URL
fervent mango
like https://ha.local/local/basment.jpg so there is no way to just call the local path it has to be a url?
it works with either the local or DDNS url. just most of the scripts or examples I see use the /local/img.jpg
muted inlet
the docs should say if it can be anything other than a URL
fervent mango
yeah all doc state the /config/www = /local and all examples show it being called as /local/img.jpg that why I'm confused. I had to create the www folder and have restarted services 12X times testing. just not sure why it seems to work for other and not me. I also made sure the file was in all lowercase as I saw that could be an issue. IDK. thanks
muted inlet
Can you share one of those examples? I'm guessing it doesn't literally mean you can use just /local/whatever, I think it's just saying what www/ actually is in the URL
fervent mango
fervent mango
only thing I can thing is this and most are image: as this is a camera it's calling still_image_url: and it's requiring a url . image: isn't valid (tried it and received an error)
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-entity/ see 1st example at end of page. but again that's image: so maybe that's my issue. I'm trying to use a picture where are snapshot url is supposed to be
muted inlet
That's also a different card
fervent mango
yeah it's the same for a picture-glance https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-glance/ it must be something to do with the fact that it's a camera. I'll have to dig in more. thanks

hi all, im a noob with ha and am on my first installation on a rpi3b! everything has been going great so far, but i just have a quick lovelace question that i am hoping isnt too complicated. I have already enabled advanced config, but I have not dived into editing the configuration.yaml yet. My question is there anyway to change the color and size of the blue title bar at the very top?
mild veldt
@opal furnace yes. You would use a theme
opal furnace
ive looked around and there appears to be an addon that i can install through hacs to do what i want, but i think thats pushing my abilities a bit.
mild veldt
Yes, custom header to make it smaller
opal furnace
ahh would those require editing the config.yaml?
opal furnace
oh cool ill start googling!
thanks
oh yeah Custom Header is an addon which can be installed through HACS
this is what i saw before
i guess ill give it a shot!
tight scarab
is it all-YAML-all-the-time or all-UI-all-the-time when it comes to Lovelace?
I can't have some UI-managed dashboards, and some driven from YAML files?
mild veldt
Yes you can
Only thing is if you have any yaml then all resources are maintained in configuration.yaml
tight scarab
Kind of feels like UI mode is great for spitballing and trying things out quickly and using the preview but that once things settle down it would be far preferable to keep this all in SCM
tight scarab
It wouldn't be so bad I guess if I could optionally disable the preview window. Having only half my code window width makes it difficult for the larger nested cards.
mild veldt
You can use the raw config editor if you don't want a preview
tight scarab
Or use Chrome dev tools to delete the preview div while editing 🙂
mild veldt
I mean, I guess...?
