There could be a specific label for new integration requests
#frontend-archived
elder pendant
but that totally makes sense. It's not like core devs are shelling out new integrations themselves all the time
mild veldt
@muted inlet I really need you to sync your Discord and github avatars so my head can keep things straight 😜
elder pendant
and start using dark themes like a normal person 
muted inlet
heh, yeah i definitely see that being confusing
it's the same on github and the forum, but different here
you know it's kind of funny... when android reached 5.0 Lollipop i was bummed to see the dark theme go away, but then it really grew on me over time and i prefer light themes now
i remember actually downgrading from 5.0 to 4.4 after a few months because i wanted that nostalgia back lol

hallow spruce
the frontend auto-reload is infuriating when trying to work in node red
muted saddle
aaah advanced mode, nice
hallow spruce
or maybe I should ask... Is it normal for HA to reload the page every few minutes?
mild veldt
@hallow spruce not if you're actively using it
hallow spruce
weird.. so I am running "container" and I have node red as a panel_iframe. If I am working in node-red that way, boom.
why does it does it refresh this page like that... this is new in 0.111+ as far as I can tell. It's refreshes like clicking the page reload in the browser
winter hollow
0.111 didn't have the suspend function, so that can't be it
muted inlet
@elder pendant @split granite @mild veldt following up from our conversation earlier, along with possibly renaming Developer Tools to System Tools, how about moving Logs back there too? seems like a more logical place than configuration
maybe even Info too
elder pendant
So basically "undo everything nearly everything you just did and rename it" 🤣
muted inlet
pretty much lol
figure it can't hurt to ask. it's a constructive suggestion
though, MQTT was moved to configuration > integrations, so it's not undoing everything

Been way behind the game, but was just told that I dont have to make a sensor to read an entity attribute anymore, could anyone help me with how to pull the fan mode out of my climate.thermostat in a entity card?

This is what i was told

Oh I didn't realize the entities card has that option now. What have you tried so far?
fierce quarry
I'm trying to pull the fan_mode out of my tstat, but can't get the syntax right, was looking for someone that had an example
@split granite you know anything about it? entities attributes in cards?
muted inlet
ffs i thought i was answering someone else lol
split granite
Hey, let's just tag somebody and demand an answer ...
I expect more from Padawan...
elder pendant
should be something like
- type: attribute
entity: climate.thermostat
attribute: fan_mode
LOL I'm not demanding, I was asking if you knew anything about it
split granite
Well, you may just take a moment to consider that if I did, I'd have said something...

Themes are set per user browser
tough lily
ok i am trying to sftp into the server but no luck
split granite
If you're using #330990055533576204 or #330944238910963714 did you install the SSH add-on?
tough lily
im using homeassistant os and it was not in the add on store
split granite
That's because you didn't pay attention to everything that was on that screen 😉
It's there, you just need to enable a setting
tough lily
ok and for the samba add on the "interface" setting. What interface is it talking about
dark dirge
From the docs for the add-on:
Option: interface (required)
The network interface Samba should listen on for incoming connections. This option should only be used in advanced cases. In general, setting this option is not needed.
tough lily
ok thanks and once i make a change to the config file i have to restart homeassistant right?
tough lily
configuration.yaml
dark dirge
Mostly yes
tough lily
ok and the restart for the ui will work fine right

torpid notch
How do I hide sensors? I have them grouped in cards and hidden via customize but since the last update (?) hiding stopped working... I now have the all two times
split granite
-> Take control
torpid notch
Is there no other way anymore? My friend has only 20 entities and is happy without “control”...
split granite
Either HA has all the control, or you do. There's no middle ground 😉
torpid notch
The way it was before the last update was perfect! The hidden sensors sensors didn’t clutter the top but where visible in the groups...
I liked the middle ground 😦
tired turret
Sorry if I missed this, but at current when making modifications through the UI frontend, it doesn't dump the configuration to YML. Correct?
tired turret
Ok. So if I setup Home Assistant through the webui then decide I want to move to YML + git. I'll need to recreate the persons, component, etc?
split granite
Well, no
Generally speaking you either set things up through the UI or YAML
As long as you're backing everything up you have it all
tired turret
Ok cool. I think that was what I was missing. Thank you @split granite.

Has anyone had an issue with the light-entity card in HACS showing all the entities for a group instead of just the group itself?
gritty frost
Hello. I have a few entries in my side menu I added to me configuration.yaml file. For some reason, they all work except the one for Octoprint. When I use the URL directly, I see my Octoprint pages just fine but when I click the link from HA, I get a Google Chrome gray page that says 192.168.0.129 refused to connect. My code is :
3dprinter:
title: Octoprint
icon: mdi:printer-3d-nozzle-outline
url: http://192.168.0.129```
Any idea why ?Do you have a port number that you use with the ip address?
and are you using https://
fathom pagoda
ok
try with :80 at the end
shouldn't need it.
can you connect to http://192.168.0.129 in a browser window?
gritty frost
I'll give a try although I also have this ``` router:
title: Router
icon: mdi:router-wireless
url: http://192.168.0.1
Yeah. When I click on your link, it takes me right to it
but within HA, no... I'll try adding :80
I wonder if perhaps something in the UI of Octoprint would prevent the admin pages from being accessed within a frame...
Nope.. adding the port number doesn't change anything
fathom pagoda
i'm adding a couple of pages to see what happens

Is the static http directory still /config/www, accessed through <domain>:8123/local? trying to serve an mp3 from there to a cast device and am failing with a 404
elder pendant
It is. But if you just created the directory then you have to restart HA
barren python
give it a whirl. Thought I had it there for awhile, but this is my backup setup. Thanks
elder pendant
Also make sure you are being exact with the file name
@gilded veldt if it’s saying the element doesn’t exist then you either haven’t properly installed/added it as a resource, or you’re spelling it incorrectly
barren python
@gilded veldt These things do happen. Battery entity and a few others quit a few versions back
was json.config or something... you have to update sometimes. HACS can help
gilded veldt
i tired installing it back via HACS no success there
elder pendant
Or you didn’t read the breaking changes for defining Lovelace resources a few releases back
gilded veldt
i read the breaking changes before updating
elder pendant
you may also need to update the card
gilded veldt
how do i update the card
elder pendant
The same way you installed it
dark dirge
how are you managing your Lovelace UI?
barren python
@gilded veldt They may have not gotten to it yet. Breaks can take time, though I'm using the mini player right now myself, though HACS no issue. You can always check the Chrome console
gilded veldt
i manage it in the raw editor
dark dirge
and where are your resources defined?
gilded veldt
same place as all my other custom cards
dark dirge
that's not a place
gilded veldt
resources:
dark dirge
still not a place
gilded veldt
url: /local/mini-media-player-bundle.js?v=1.9.1
elder pendant
dark dirge
and still not a place, but that's wrong anyway
barren python
I'll not butt in further. I'm waiting for my secondary unit to reboot, but @gilded veldt I have mini player v.1.9.1 on HA 0.111.4, so at least I can tell you there is something local
gilded veldt
local?
elder pendant
Are you pasting those from the raw config editor?
gilded veldt
yea
gilded veldt
i know that method is deprecated
dark dirge
heh, I was going back through the release notes and hadn't gone back that far yet 🙂
gilded veldt
thought it didnt matter how the data was entered
dark dirge
when things don't work...
gilded veldt
i have plenty deprecated stuff that still function just fine on my setup of hassio
elder pendant
Deprecated means you're on a sinking ship. Eventually it will be under water.
dark dirge
if you're going to do something contrary to the instructions, you better know what you're doing and own it
gilded veldt
i would think that they no longer give support for what ever is deprecated
elder pendant
No, deprecated usually means it will be removed in a future release
dark dirge
and yet here we are supporting it. fools, we
gilded veldt
some deprecated stuff persons still like and enjoy
gilded veldt
so to correct my error just remove move it and enter it the new way?
barren python
@gilded veldt I'll give it one last shot, just because pi is so slow, and I've asked the dumb questions in the past
Later versions of lovelace have shifted the resources to /config/.storage/lovelace_resources... but if I recall, you shouldn't be editing that directly. I'd really just shift over to HACS for custom stuff unless it's not there
elder pendant
Dumb questions aren't the problem. It's resistance to the answer
barren python
ah
point
@elder pendant Well thanks. Reboot did it. I'm testing my appdaemon scripts on a lil' pi and must have just never restarted
gilded veldt
was just stating facts not resisting the answer

Guys , afrter the upgrade to 0.112.x my zwave listing hides entities behind the top bar
Seems an issue with the frontend
halcyon basin
Morning all, I'm just in the process of moving from ipads wall panels to android ones using fully kiosk. - my ipads are currently using appdemon dashboard, but I'm moving to lovelace.
I've got a couple of Kindle Fire HD 10's, and I'm running the animated background that relates the weather.
The animated background is working on my phone and on my laptop, but is just white on the Fire tablet.
I get a message "Beware of the outdated android webview, (current Ver. 70)" Is there anyway i might be able to root the fire and update the version, I've not registered the fire as i don't want things like the amazon stuff appearing, and ideally i don't want to install the play store. Fully kiosk browser was installed via the apk.
karmic tiger
@halcyon basin Since this has almost nothing to do with HA (and certainly nothing to do with creating a Lovelace #frontend-archived), I suspect you'd be better off searching online for help with rooting your device.
halcyon basin
Thanks @karmic tiger i thought that posting this in the frontend part of of the HomeAssistant group was the best place to ask. Sorry
karmic tiger
If it was a question about the frontend of HA, this channel would be the best place to ask 😉
Questions about rooting random devices... not so much.
If it was about how a device interacts with HA, #hardware-archived is usually a good place. Yours is a pretty generic question which will already have thousands of answers on the internet - it's a job for Google 😉
halcyon basin
Thanks I did some googling but didnt manage to dig up many results. Ill post in the devices section about why the lovelace animated background, I wasnt sure if the webview would be part of the cause so wanted to make sure i included as much info as possible. thank you.

seems to be somehow tied to position: css property
weird part is that unchecking position css style and re-applying it again makes it correct the position
but the scrolls are still broken then so its not good either
I guess its one of my addons installed, coz on raw it doesnt seem to happen u.u

Sorry one more question, is it possible to create a row of pictures\icons in a horizontal glance card that can be used for navigation?

@halcyon basin This is probably the right place for the webview question, tbh. I suspect it'll be a limitation of your device though if it's older.
halcyon basin
thanks @karmic tiger I was hoping that might be able to root the device and install a different os. someone mentioned lineageos but i'm not sure if that is supported on the fire HD10 (7th Gen)

The editor shows a different font than what I see normally. Is there a way to change the font to this?
karmic tiger
But... the font hasn't changed.
It's just going to use whatever monospaced font you have available.

So that’s new?
karmic tiger
Pretty sure it's not.
Just to be clear... do you mean the raw editor for your Lovelace views?
karmic tiger
Those look the same.

They don’t. Note the font spacing.
karmic tiger
The kerning? It's identical.

Idk tbh but the editor one looks better
karmic tiger
If you say so. I can't see a difference.
Same font, same weight, same kerning.
Use the dev tools to have a better look if you want.

This is on a mobile device :p

Guys, is there a way to do something like foreach in a card yaml?
What I'm doing is that: I have a card containing multiple very similar cards, each of the card is a fold-entity-rows combined with a area filter, in order to implement a list or fold-entity-rows where each row represents a area and I can unfold it to see entities of this area/room.
The yaml of each fold-entity-row is very similar, just the area filter and title is different, wondering if I can use foreach to reuse the yaml code to simplify the card code.
Any other ways of achieving the same would be appreciate, too!
Thanks in advance!
karmic tiger
You could look up using anchors in YAML but I'm not sure they'd apply here.
kind shellBOT
muted inlet
YAML anchors would indeed help here
karmic tiger
Neat. I've never tried them, only heard of them 😄
muted inlet
I've never used them either, but I do use YAML aliases in one of my automation files
sharp grove
wow I didn't know yaml anchors, I tried it real quick, seems working, let me finish it.
If it works, it'd be super neat.
It works, but during saving, the aliases to the anchor are replaced with the content of the anchor.
It defeats my purpose of tidy up the card yaml code. 🤔️

I see there's work being done but not sure if this toggle is available in 112.1 or not

yes it is, but you should not need it
it will only disconnect when the Home Assistant UI is not visible
errant birch
oh, ok didn't realise that. thank you
urban birch
greetings all! I just updated to .112.1 and am seeing some different behaviors... The first thing i am seeing is that when i click on any badges I would get either a horizontal bar graph showing when it was on or off.. of if it was numeric, a graph showing the values over time. After upgrading, I no longer get that.... Am I doing something wrong?
I was on the latest .111 prior

well, i restored back to .111.4, and the behavior is as I expected . I guess I will wait awhile before i try upgrading again.

I've got an old kindle HD 7 with chrome, but I don't see a way to do full screen, how are you guys running?
sacred axle
Hey guys quick question. On the Monitored Interfaces section of this interface, there is an Attribute called
{Unit}Bytes (Received)
Integration: https://github.com/elad-bar/ha-edgeos
how do I put that into an entity card in the attribute section?
copying it exactly as is says "UNKNOWN"
sacred axle
type: entity entity: binary_sensor.edgeos_interface_eth0 attribute: '{Unit}Bytes (Received)' unit: Mbps
I get that part I think. I'm just guessing something about either the {} or the (Received) part which is causing it to result in "unknown"
tame dove
Template out the attribute in the template editor and see what it reports. Maybe unknown is actually the state
And according to the docs type: attribute
Also, look in states under the entity id for the actual attribute

Which page? Which things?
rapid void
Yes, I know. That's why I'm here. Tinkerer sent me here for advice on how to "take control of the UI".

Oh. In the top right corner you will see a "three vertical dots" icon that looks like this:
Click that and then choose "Configure UI"
rapid void
Is there a way to undo it if and when I screw it up?
latent moss
Yeah, in that same menu there will be an option "Raw Config Editor", if you just delete all the text on that screen and hit save it will revert you back to the auto-generated layout
rapid void
Ok. Well, I guess I'll dive in and see if it's worth it.... 🙂
latent moss
You can also go to Configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards and create as many dashboards as you'd like. So you can have both the auto-generated one that you're used to, and experiment with a customized/manual dashboard too, they can co-exist.

Guess I'm going to have to read up on lovelace dashboards...

The Material Design Guidelines does not allow both a text and an icon in tab names.

@tough quiver You need to set unit_of_measurement.

That will turn the value into a number. Now it's a text string, and since "five" doesn't automatically relate to "four" the same way as 5 does to 4, it can't plot it.

so i was following this guide to add weather radar to my dashboard: https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/weather-radar-on-home-assistant/ but they are not using a framerate, does this mean its going to hammer the WU server?
i was advised to set a framerate when i added a different radar last week
the guide just uses this: camera:
- platform: generic
still_image_url: 'https://icons.wxug.com/data/weather-maps/radar/united-states/dayton-ohio-region-current-radar.gif'
name: Radar WU Ohio Current
i am not sure if because the radar is animated that would make a difference

I want to show my states.sensor.unavailable_entities_tmpl.last_changed in local time.
I googled a lot and found this template that converts the time to a nice UTC-format.
{{ as_timestamp(strptime(states.sensor.unavailable_entities_tmpl.last_changed | string | truncate(19,True,'',0),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S:%f')) | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}
But I want it in local time, preferably using the configured time_zone .
Any tips how?
shell torrent
Thanks, I have been there a few times, but I'm clearly doing something wrong .
{{ states.sensor.synology_cpu_load_1_min.last_updated }} gives me 2020-07-04 21:15:54.690107+00:00 which is exactly 2 hours behind my local time.
{{ states.sensor.synology_cpu_load_1_min.last_updated | timestamp_local }} and {{ states.sensor.synology_cpu_load_1_min.last_updated | timestamp_utc }} gives me exactly the same.
Any example?
I checked the /config/info-page just to make sure my time zone is configured correctly and it shows "timezone Europe/Stockholm" so that should be ok.
Ok, finally found out that I need "as_timestamp". this works fine:
{{ as_timestamp(states.sensor.synology_cpu_load_1_min.last_changed) | timestamp_local }}

if you need it to display correctly on safari or iOS you should go with "timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f+00:00', false)"

Hi all, I created a button with a call-service -> homeassistant.toggle on a group and the actio nworks fine. Just the state of the icon doesn't change. What am I missing ? I also tried to force state_colour: true without luck

If a button isn't representing something with state, it won't change with that thing's state.
A call to a service doesn't have state.
Share your config 🙂

I see the switch change status when the button is pressed
this is why I was expecting to change icon as well
I have the same result if I use the group directly without calling the service to toggle

if I use a single switch it works fine, if I use a group defined with 2 switches it doesn't

why is it some configs are only alowed in gui, some only in config and some in both? it kinda makes it even more of a pain to configure stuff :S shouldnt it be that ALL configs should be possible in the config files? i mean the gui is just supposed to be to help those who dont want to dive into config files right?

I know there is documentation over all states that are translated depending on device class. Like 'on' becomes 'På' in Swedish, a motion sensors 'on' becomes 'Klart' and so on, but I can't find it. I am probably using wrong words while googling. Anyone here that can point me in the right direction?

If i open the same page in Fully Kiosk Browser, the background is just white. - Any ideas why that might be?

On the same device? Only think I can think of is that maybe you need to update WebView or whatever the package that handles web rendering is called...

yup, on the same device.
when Fully kiosk loads it says "Be aware of the outdated android webview (current Ver. 70)" but it is strange that it loads in the silk browser with issues.

elder pendant
Yeah the config strategy is a bit... wonky. 99% of the file is a YAML parser. It really should be a custom integration, but I'm not familiar enough with python to tackle that yet
polar kelp
If you use json instead, the parsing is free, but it’s a bit annoying for the user.
elder pendant
I had considered it, but most users are already familiar with yaml and I've seen too many people struggle with basic json concepts in #node-red-archived, so I figured this is probably the better option for now
polar kelp
Hm... I wonder...
Parsing yaml is kind of hard... but converting it to json might be significantly easier...
🤔
elder pendant
That's an idea. I played with the idea of making a custom parser since the yaml used is so basic
it really just came down to laziness 😅
polar kelp
Yeah... I’m working on yaml parsing in card-mod, but js-yaml is like 100 kb, so that doesn’t feel worth it to include.
It’s hidden in the card editor, btw, and you can actually pre-load that in the background and pull the parser out.
elder pendant
I saw that in card-tools, but it seemed like more work to reimplement rather than leave the parser in the file
wheat current
Then you get a akward state when waiting for lovelace
elder pendant
There's a handful of panels that have the parser, but loading them quickly and in the background proved difficult when I tried poking around
I'm just glad I got mdi icons to work in custom links. That was a shot in the dark that ended up working. Failing upwards is great

white drift
@elder pendant how can i avoid that?
avoid a refresh at all or set a refresh rate or something

to avoid refresh at all you would put everything in the if (!this.content) statement
ideally you would only render when your defined entity has changed state. So you'd need to store the state somehow and check it against the incoming state when hass changes

Is there a way to exclude entity attributes from the history-graph card? I have a temperature sensor that's presenting temperature in both farenheit and celsius, and I want to hide one of the units from being graphed.
flint shard
Apparently not. It's mapping all graphable attributes (and for attributes with different units, adds an additional graph automatically)
So my history-graph card is double-tall with two graphs in it, one in F and the other in C
Just because I added a single entity
dark dirge
What does your Lovelace code look like?
kind shellBOT
flint shard
Totally standard... added the card with the UI, selected an entity with the UI
Got a double graph
And if I look at the entity itself, it also has a double graph
dark dirge
Ok. All I can find via search is people trying to graph attributes and needing to create additional sensors
flint shard
Oof...
dark dirge
What entity?

sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_28363002_temperature
Aqara Temperature and Humidity sensor
I want to try querying the device to see if there's a setting I can change on it to remove the second temp readout, but that portion of the Zigbee (ZHA) integration appears to be gone?
flint shard
Well, after a few manual updates (pushing the button on the sensor) it did stop reporting two graphs...
New problem
The entity itself only shows F, the history-graph card only shows C
How do I force the history-graph card to show the correct units?
flint shard
But.. the units of the entity are in degrees farenheit
dark dirge
🤷♂️
flint shard
Seems almost like a lovelace bug
flint shard
The really fun part is that the history graph card shows the correct number (75 degrees), but labels it °C
It's 75°F in there right now
dark dirge
Or try creating a template sensor with the proper units
flint shard
So it refuses to merge with any other temperature entities, because the unit is wrong
dark dirge
Could, as you say, be a discrepancy between what it’s reporting and the units you chose for HA

But HA is supposed to convert everything to the global unit
It should actually be kinda difficult to get a graph in °C with the global unit set to °F

dark dirge
🤷♂️, I say again
flint shard
And yet it renders like this
https://i.imgur.com/7s6ddi0.png
High temps at the beginning were presumably when I was holding it in my hand getting it set up and attached to the wall
dark dirge
I would probably a) make a template sensor and see if the problem follows it and b) use mini-graph-card
flint shard
I mean, at least it's down to one graph... one horribly wrong graph. lol
dark dirge
flint shard
That graph basically says it's 167°F in here
dark dirge
It’s also possible that it’s getting confused with historical data in the database
flint shard
I'm using the history-graph card because you can assign multiple entities to it, and if they all use the same units, it stacks their graphs.
The other options for graphing only allow a single entity, and don't show the scale of the graph on either axis.
Pretty, but not all that useful
dark dirge
All hail, open source
It doesn’t always work, but at least you can do something about it
flint shard
I mean, I can, but not everyone can...
Sucks when a project's source is over your head and your help requests all go to "well fix it yourself, lol"
flint shard
Yeah, this project is nice. A lot of other open source projects I've interacted with have left a bad taste in my mouth, though.
dark dirge
I still think it’s some inconsistency in the historical data that may flush out on its own. You could hurry it along by purging history
You could confirm by poking around in the database
mild veldt
@flint shard Configuration > General > Units
@flint shard as for contributing, I like to think the frontend is pretty welcoming. We could always use help as it's really only Bram consistently. Me and others cycle through
#devs_frontend-archived if you get an env setup and want to get your feet wet
dark dirge
I took this to mean that the HA units were set to F
It should actually be kinda difficult to get a graph in °C with the global unit set to °F
But it’s confusing
mild veldt
I skimmed 😉 but doesn't hurt to double check
dark dirge
Sure
flint shard
Yeah, units are already set to imperial globally 🙂
@mild veldt Cleared history on the sensor, deleted it and re-added it... same issue. The entity shows °F, and the history-graph card shows °C (sort of, it's displaying the temperature in °F in spite of being labeled °C)
dark dirge
I anxiously await the PR 🙂
flint shard
Assuming I can figure it out... and that I get a test environment set up...
Who wrote the card originally?
dark dirge
I didn’t look through the history
I did poke around and saw reference to the system wide units and the data units, but didn’t see any conversion
I didn’t look that hard though
flint shard
Hah, so even after forcing a unit of measurement for that entity via customize.yaml... still shows wrong in the history-graph card
So we've not got it just straight-up ignoring settings in customize.yaml
It's right everywhere except that one type of Lovelace card
mild veldt
that's quite interesting actually. The card itself uses the common chart rendering elements
It shouldn't be any different
I can't personally replicate
flint shard
Aaaand now the sensor just started reporting in BOTH °F and °C again...
The history-graph card just cannot deal...
dark dirge
just added a history graph and it properly reports F for me
flint shard
It does for me too, on all of my ecobee sensors
But not this Aqara sensor...
This is also the only sensor I have that appears to be reporting its temperature in two units simultaneously
dark dirge
ZHA?
flint shard
Yup
dark dirge
could also be that. maybe report over in #zigbee-archived
they might be doing something funky
the two-graph thing just went away here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/why-are-there-sometimes-two-graphs-for-one-sensor-displayed/90556/22
but it's the same sensors, so probably related
flint shard
Yeah, it went away, then came back...
muted inlet
I have a couple of those weather sensors connected via ZHA. I don't see two graphs in the history for either
flint shard
sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_28363002_temperature ?
flint shard
Looks like it's not just me. The post linked above has someone with the same issue
Yeah, square one here too
muted inlet
Definitely strange
flint shard
It's back to "two graphs, the second one claims to be °C but it's just displaying the same number as the °F graph."
dark dirge
an entity can't have two different sets of units, as far as I know, there are shenanigans at play
muted inlet
The sensors report in celcius I believe
But home assistant converts to whatever unit you have set
dark dirge
so cheap you can't afford not to buy them
flint shard
Take it back? I thought you said that you had one working fine 😛
dark dirge
The guys in #zigbee-archived are usually responsive, so they may know how to debug it. It seems like it's more likely to be the sensors than the graph
would probably be easier to debug if you were using Zigbee2MQTT
flint shard
Yeah, still on the waitlist for the adapter to make that possible
dark dirge
no magic APIs
flint shard
Looks like this is an issue with the history-graph card that was closed recently, and needs to be re-opened:
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/24814
A bot closed it due to inactivity, but there are posts since then of other users with the same issue as recently as 12 days ago.
dark dirge
good catch
flint shard
So, I'm not crazy. Yay!
dark dirge
You'd be a hero if you solved it
flint shard
Aaand it's written in javascript, which I'm not familiar with
dark dirge
yeah, not my area either. but not crazy, either
but it may take somebody who actually has the device and cares
flint shard
Going by the issue above, it impacts multiple devices
My wheelhouse is C#, C++, Python, and PowerShell (if we're counting scripting languages)... but I'll see if I can make heads or tales of it
dark dirge
yep, but as iantrich said, it uses stuff from all over
flint shard
Yeah, I see the 7 imports at the top
So the bug could be in any one of those as well
Yeaaah, I'm the wrong resource for this. I don't even have a test environment set up yet.
Which will absolutely be required to test this component
flint shard
As a work-around, I made a template sensor that literally just mirrors the state of the actual temperature sensor. That works fine with the history-graph card...
Really odd, that
dark dirge
If you’re so inclined, maybe poke around in the database to see what the records look like
Garbage in, garbage out, as they say

Do I need to make a template to get an mdi icon to spin? i.e. the fan icon when the fan is on?

That'd require CSS
I'm pretty sure that's been posted before though, so a search should find it

Custom button card have that built-in
halcyon basin
Got the custom button working with the spinning icon! Thanks @wheat current I know i can fix the size of the card, but can it be scaled to match other cards in the horizontal stack?

Hi, Is it possible to add multiple bits of information to a glance card? For example at the moment i have two glances for each family member of my house, one shows location, )home, away etc.) and the other shows proximity, ideally I'd like one picture, with multiple lines of information on each below, if possible.
karmic tiger
If you want to customise cards like that, you're better off looking at custom cards like button card: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card
Really powerful once you know how to use it.
There are also ways to mod existing cards but I'd recommend making something bespoke rather than trying to bend the built in cards to your will.
halcyon basin
Thanks. I'll take a look at the cutom button card, I assume that would be the best way of navigating with icons too? I've set my title bar to hide so that it isnt visible on the wall panels, but when accessing on my phone i want to be able to access multiple (other) screens.
karmic tiger
Yes, it lets you define a navigation_path as an action, so it'll be good for moving between dashboards/views.

How would I go about making a markdown card look more pretty? I would like to make it look like a header/greeting card.
mild veldt
@cedar parrot confirmation is only for the tap/double_tap/hold actions. It is not for switches on the entities card. You can try my card for that https://github.com/iantrich/restriction-card
@arctic gulch just follow a tutorial on using markdown syntax. e.g. https://ghost.org/changelog/markdown/

@karmic tiger is it possible to do the navigation without an object entity?

Is it possible to display a state in a card name?

Using something like https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card, you can make it show almost anything you want.

Ooh, a custom button card. That's interesting! Thank you.

@split granite is card mod deprecated?

i did update the config as you guys suggested
and still didnt work
thats why i am back

i entered the urls manually in the list

Did you then reload the resources?

how you mean reload the resources?
gilded veldt
anytime i make changes that are giving me headaches i reboot home assistant

You'll have plenty of headaches if you always do things the hard way instead of learning the easy way.

when u learn the hard way then when the easy way doesnt work you already know the hard way

Did you try reloading?
arctic gulch
you said you installed via hacs right? then I'd suggest deleting all you have of it and reinstalling via hacs cuz that should just straight up work

Well, that's true if you're not using YAML mode
If you're using YAML mode you still need to make all the required changes to the resources yourself
arctic gulch
Ah I missed that part
halcyon basin
Just looking at the custom:button-card and i've figured out how to get most of the information I need, I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to return two values:
[[[
return 'Battery: ' + states['device_tracker.dad'].attributes.battery + "%";
return 'Charging: ' + states['device_tracker.dad'].attributes.battery_charging;
]]]
I've tried various combinations of comma's, putting each statement in double curly brackets and adding commas and '+' signs between the statements too, I'm not sure if it is a limitation in the button or my poor coding skills.
karmic tiger
You don't need to keep tagging me. I may have pointed you in the right direction but I don't actually know much about the frontend. Just post your question and see who answers 😉

Sorry.

It's all good. You're on a server full of people who know a lot about this stuff. Someone will help 🙂

@halcyon basin you can't return more than one thing. It is just one string, so keeping adding to it

when i try to install it in hacs again i dont see it but when i try to add the repository it says its already added
elder pendant
Go to the Frontend tab in hacs, click the in the top right corner and click "Dismiss all new repositories"
Whatever is remaining is what you have installed

if i want to see all the repositories that i dismissed how do i do so?
i do not see an option for the reverse

For HA you just need to install a theme
arctic gulch
I recommend green dark mode on hacs
elder pendant
@halcyon basin 🤷 I'm not sure what fully's standards are
If you had access to the browser console I might be able to tell you what's going wrong
halcyon basin
i'm not sure either, your animated background works on my laptop and phone, but the backgrounds just wont load on fully.
elder pendant
You might try delving into the fully settings. I know they have some random JS settings hidden away
arctic gulch
@gilded veldt maybe add it as a custom repository. In hacs -> -> Custom repositories -> Add https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player
halcyon basin
i've tired to enable JS, but cant find any settings that encourgae it to load.
elder pendant
If it's already installed then it's not going to show up in the + menu
gilded veldt
Repository 'kalkih/mini-media-player' exists in the store
elder pendant
Search the frontend tab, not in the + menu
arctic gulch
So either it's installed and already in the frontend tab or it's in the + menu to be installed
elder pendant
@halcyon basin I don't have a device that can run fully, but check if you can view the browser console somehow

Alright, I'll try some things and push a beta release for you to test. Make sure you enable beta releases for Animated Background in HACS

not a dumb question
when I release a beta I'll let you know, then you'll go to the Frontend tab in HACS and find Animated Background. Click on the on the card and select reinstall. There will be a switch at the top to enable pre-releases

Hi everyone, i am trying to figure out resources. I add resources from Hacs and they are stored in www/community/card-mod/card-mod.js. I go to Lovelace dashboard > resources and i add /community/card-mod/card-mode.js and i cant add the custom card in UI editor. it says card not find.
resources section already has /hacsfiles/card-mod/card-mod.js url as well.
i have spent all day trying to figure this out and will appreciate some help
arctic gulch
That looks like it should be fine. What are you trying to add to lovelace?
elder pendant
@halcyon basin alright, just published
arctic gulch
Card mod isn't a card on it's own. Except for card-modder but you probably shouldn't be using that.
correction mod-card is the card
but my question is what are you trying to accomplish with card mod?
mystic echo
to be honest, at this point i am tryign to fgure out how resources get loaded which can be used in lovelace. like mini-graph-card
elder pendant
If you install them with HACS and you're not in YAML mode then the resources should be added automatically
arctic gulch
for mini-graph-card, if installed by hacs, it's /hacsfiles/mini-graph-card/mini-graph-card-bundle.js
elder pendant
Not every card will show up in the UI editor
You have to add them through manual YAML
mystic echo
i am trying to add via Manual editor
elder pendant
What are you trying to add/what is the error?
mystic echo
No card type found
is the error when i try to add by going into edit mode in lovelace > Manual at the bottom
elder pendant
Try saving it anyway
arctic gulch
make sure it's added like this:
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'

Just rename the element to Bruce Wayne. Problem solved.

It's just they are centerd on the remaining space of the button after taking some for the text, not at the center of the button itself.
Otherwise, e.g. the restart symbol would collide with the text.
