well the example redefines the innerHTML of the content each time hass updates

hybrid berry Aug 12, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

in the example this would make nearly no difference but when you start working with higher res images, it would be kinda insane to reload the image every time... even if its cached

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

right, so you should be able to change the children of the content only when a relevant change is detected

hybrid berry Aug 12, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

that means the example is actually not optimised right? because the image is reloaded every time, apart from the fact that it doesn't change...

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

right

#

not really sure why that was the example that was chosen

polar kelp Aug 12, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Here's an example which updates a label and stuff.

this makes a lot more sense @polar kelp 👍 thank you very much...
the naming with this.button.innerHTML makes it more clear aswell..

I would vote for adding the second example to the docs

Hey guys i think i might of found a bug with the logbook

I have the excluded the air_quality domain from my logbook.yaml config and i do not see it in the logbook, unless i manually select the date of today, they magically appear from somewhere

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

When did you exclude it?

#

Wait you excluded it from just the logbook, not the recorder?

peak valley Aug 12, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

correct

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

hmm, that does sound like a bug then

peak valley Aug 12, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

ok i will file a bug report

#

thanks for your help

#

would you categorize this bug under frontend or core

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

I think the core integration is where the actual logic is for the data queries

#

so I would put it under core. Someone will let you know if that's not correct (hopefully)

hi All,

I have a shutter switch flashed with Tasmota, all works fine but i would like to display the current shutter position in HA. Is this possible?

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Does tasmota report the shutter position?

vestal scaffold Aug 12, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

yes it does

#

it shows a sliding bar and shows the position in % in the console

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Then it would just be a matter of setting the position topic and closed/open positions in your mqtt cover config in HA

vestal scaffold Aug 12, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

okay uhm, how should i do that?😇

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

Did you define the cover manually?

#

And have you tried adding it to an entities card?

vestal scaffold Aug 12, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

there is an "shutter status" entity, but it always hows 100%. no matter what the position really is

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

Sounds like it’s misconfigured then. Did you define it manually?

vestal scaffold Aug 12, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

no i did not, the enitity showed up when i used setoption19 1 on tasmota

elder pendant Aug 12, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

It seems like it's not properly defining topics for discovery then. I would ask in the tasmota discord

vestal scaffold Aug 12, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

In the payload, it looks like it displays some "RSSI" value, which in tasmota also always is 100%

#

i'll ask there. thanks!

hybrid berry Aug 12, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

RSSI isn't the shutter... Rssi is the value for the wifi connection strenght of your esp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength_indicationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength_indication)

vestal scaffold Aug 12, 2020, 4:25 PM

@hybrid berry Okay thanks, but if i understand the payload, that is the value it shows

Hey is there any way to see the config for the new dark mode theme? I really like it but would love to make a couple of minor tweaks to it and be able to turn it on/off with time.

karmic tiger Aug 12, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Looks like you just set it in conjunction with your theme:

For custom themes, there is a new option on the set_theme service call, mode: 'dark'; this allows to set a theme that will be used when your device is in dark mode.

Lastly, when using the set_theme service, the settings are now persistent across restarts. So if you have an automation that calls set_theme on startup, you don’t need it anymore. 😉

#

I don't see a way to set it via a service call without also invoking a theme.

I tried to add "hours_to_show: 48" to a map card on my UI im using to track a device and i get the message "Expected a value type 'undefined' for 'hours_to_show' but received 48. Does this mean i am using a version of HA that doesn't have this ability? Im on HA .102.0b1

You are running a beta version from 12 versions ago, you should update anyway

Hi all,
I am Johan and am new here. Great to find this forum. I have a quick question regarding the new 0.114 update. When switching to the new "dark mode" (great new feature), the standard map also is set to dark mode. Is there anyway to keep dark mode active but have the map stay light?
I have googled but not found any information how to accomplish that.
Setting a custom theme could of course work around the problem, but it would be great to not have to install custom themes.

polar kelp Aug 12, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

That's probably the only way though.

#

Kudos for actually trying to google intricacies of a feature that was released 10 hours ago, though.

winter hollow Aug 12, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

You could create a Lovelace dashboard with a map card in panel mode

#

That has an option for light/dark mode

I was wondering how to use the xbox logo mdi icon in home assistant? I type in mdi:microsoft-xbox but it does not work

halcyon olive Aug 12, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Thanks, not sure how to make a feature request. But I believe forcing the map to light mode should be possible since it is overlooked when the theme mode is dark.
I suppose I have to switch back to using custom themese then for now. Thanks for confirming there is no easy soluton I have missed.

Thanks @dark dirge

latent moss Aug 13, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

@compact pebble mdi:microsoft-xbox should work without needing simpleicons actually (I use it in my personal setup), but you need to be on Home Assistant 0.113 or later. If you're sticking on an older version of HA for a bit, use the old icon name mdi:xbox instead.

Hello, I have sometimes problems in my HA installation, I see this error when I want to go to Configuration, or Developer tools, or other page: "Error while loading page dashboard.". When I look to the console I see this log:

{
  "message": "Loading chunk 105 failed.\n(missing: https://<hidden>/frontend_latest/chunk.164c04a47708c1514dcf.js)"
}

#

In browser I can do refresh, then it load page, but I see this error on Android device too, and there is no refresh, I need to kill app, a then start it again.

#

Does anyone know what it means ?, How to solve this issue ? Thx.

How can I have a different styling for the last button clicked in a group of buttons, using custom button card?

karmic tiger Aug 13, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

You'd need some way of determining which one was clicked last before you can style them. Cards don't remember that, so it'll probably have to be some kind of template using states.

#

Even then, checking states of entities just means something changed, not that the button in question changed it.

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

I have jinja2 I can use in YAML files - I'm using Dwains-Theme, from scratch. I know how to use jinja, but no idea how to save the button state on click or something. I have a web development background and things work very differently there.

#

I will have a better look at states. Any pointers where to get me started I would appreciate. Are states only boolean?

karmic tiger Aug 13, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

A state can be anything. Entities each have a state and may have several optional attributes.

#

But you don't set states from the UI. Nor, I think, can you keep track of them over time like you're suggesting.

#

If you're used to MVC, Lovelace is just the View. The Model and Controller are elsewhere.

#

Or maybe it's closer to MVVM, I forget 😄

#

But if you're using something as heavily-customised as Dwain's Theme, you might need to raise a feature request over there instead of trying to hack something together.

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

Could be somewhere in between too 😄

#

I know he does it, and I can see where the code is, but doesn't make sense logically, I'm missing something or I'm not placing things properly in YAML

wheat current Aug 13, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

@true jungle most likely an addon

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

In his theme, he's giving a YAML key a value, and then checks if that key matches another value using jinja

karmic tiger Aug 13, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

If you can link me to the code, I can have a quick look. But I'll warn you, I'm not great with Lovelace or Jinja 😄

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

karmic tiger Aug 13, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

In here is fine, that way other people might see something.

#

I'm not hanging around long, just having a quick break from work.

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

Sure then 🙂 Here it goes:
It starts from here: https://github.com/dwainscheeren/lovelace-dwains-theme/blob/1.4/dwains-theme/views/main/01.homepage.yaml#L232
The way he !includes the header switch YAML file is weird to me. Inside that file, he basically loops to create a horizontal-stack made of custom:button-card - which is the group of buttons for the menu. Can be found here https://github.com/dwainscheeren/lovelace-dwains-theme/blob/1.4/dwains-theme/views/partials/heading_switch.yaml
Note that he uses active and headings as variables which are YAML keys provided just under the includes.
Changing active to another variable name still works.

karmic tiger Aug 13, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

Yeah, that's beyond me 😄

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 11:46 AM

That's fine! Thanks for you help anyway. I'll post in here when I'll figure it out 🙂

gusty nacelle Aug 13, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

Hi. Is there an option to order panel_iframes using e.g. an index?

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 12:19 PM

#

Regards, setting up a menu with last clicked button with different styling - this is a possibility in Dwains Theme. In your Lovelace YAML file

      cards:
        - !include 
          - ../partials/menu/menu.yaml
          - active: {{ _d_t_trans.main.title }}

Whatever is inside ../partials/menu/menu.yaml can use the variables stated under it ( active ). The !include and the YAML mapping as shown are key factors to get this working. This is only possible because of how Dwain is parsing YAML in his component and because he enhances YAML up with Jinja. Quite a wizard!
This is my best how I could understand it 😅

true jungle Aug 13, 2020, 12:22 PM

polar kelp Aug 13, 2020, 12:24 PM

Here's the documentation for that function, xiki: https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-lovelace_gen#passing-arguments-to-included-files

#

Browsing through the last couple of messages; what you want can't be done only in the frontend without changing how the button card works. As Mono said, you need something in the backend to store the latest clicked button.

vapid field Aug 13, 2020, 12:37 PM

Can anyone see why this conditional is not working. I initially thought it was because the integration didn't expose a state for 'No Scheduled Game', but the dev patched the proper state into the integration. The conditional still isn't working though (card should be hidden when 'No Scheduled Game'), but it is not.

#

card:
  cards:
    - name: Current Games
      template: header
      type: 'custom:button-card'
    - entities:
        - entity: sensor.toronto_maple_leafs
      show_header_toggle: false
      type: entities
  type: vertical-stack
conditions:
  - entity: sensor.toronto_maple_leafs
    state_not: No Scheduled Game
type: conditional

raven nacelle Aug 13, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

state should be in quotes

#

look at the example state_not: "off"

grim light Aug 13, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

I tried that as well. It didn't work either way. Also tried single quotes.

#

state_not: No Scheduled Game
state_not: "No Scheduled Game"
state_not: 'No Scheduled Game'

None of the above formats work. The card shows up for all three.

#

I'm not sure if there is some weird thing I'm missing, if its a bug with the integration, or a bug with homeassistant.

Remove card-tools unless one of the cards you are currently using explicitly tells you that you need to have it installed. If one does, upgrade it.

vapid field Aug 14, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

thanks, removed card-tools.. restarted HA and its still there

polar kelp Aug 14, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

Are you using the old beta version of card-mod which introduced theme styling?

vapid field Aug 14, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

yes I think I was, I removed it from lovelace resources and the box is gone. Much appreciated

polar kelp Aug 14, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

Then you should upgrade that if you're using it. That functionality is in the main version now, and much improved (albeit undocumented so far).

vapid field Aug 14, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

I have had a habit of installing mods and never using them, Ill see if anything breaks from removing it. so far so good

foggy tendon Aug 14, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Why, if i do a "ha core stop", HA server will always restart automatically after the stop? Which is the correct command to only stop the server?

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

I'm not sure how that's anything to do with Lovelace. Try asking in the installation channel for the method you used:

kind shellBOT Aug 14, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204
If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714
If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842
Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

Having difficulty chosing an install method? See this blog post for guidance.

foggy tendon Aug 14, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

@karmic tiger are you answering to my question?

#

Ok, but i think it's not related to the installation... i have hassos running on a RPi4 so the command must be "ha core stop" but there is something that after the stop restart automatically the server...

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

It's definitely not about your Lovelace dashboard.
And the behaviour of how the back-end stuff works is likely going to depend on how you're running it... i.e. how you installed it.

#

Pick an installation channel, ask there.

wheat current Aug 14, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

It is related to the installation, you can not stop Home Assistant on HAOS

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

If you don't believe me, believe the dev 😉

foggy tendon Aug 14, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

Ah, so which is the command to really stop HA ? I am only following the instructions i have about hassos

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

Ask in #330990055533576204

foggy tendon Aug 14, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

ok i'll do it, thanks...

wheat current Aug 14, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

Will not help, there is none :D
https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/6609 Proof

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

I don't disagree. Just figured this is the wrong channel to be having the discussion 😄

wheat current Aug 14, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

That I agree to 😄

foggy tendon Aug 14, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

But this problem is not related to a single release of HA as since i installed for the first time hassos (one years ago i think) i had always the same issue... If i do the command from the frontend or from a terminal i always get the same behaviour...

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 11:04 AM

#

The behaviour of the backend of your HA setup depends on how you installed it.

#

This channel is for all the pretty UI stuff people make, not questions about the backend.

foggy tendon Aug 14, 2020, 11:04 AM

nobody know conditional cards ? Or conditionnal type on entities cards ?

polar kelp Aug 14, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

It cannot. It only works for the state.

#

You can try this instead: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

prime meadow Aug 14, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

Thanks you !!

#

Ok it's seems very great

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

how do I reference a local icon? icon: mdi:'localpath\filename' is that right?

karmic tiger Aug 14, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

'mdi' = Material Design icon

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

https://tenor.com/view/telia-erik-giropp-head-bang-gif-12211846

plain pike Aug 14, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

it's a standard list of icons if you're using mdi:

#

https://materialdesignicons.com/

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

that makes sense. just never put 2 and 2 together

#

I have used those icons many times.

#

but now, I am wanting to use a custom animated icon that changes per a template

#

so, then it is just icon: 'local/path/filename'

plain pike Aug 14, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

probably 🤷‍♂️

#

I just know mdi:

#

LOL

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Thanks.

elder pendant Aug 14, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

You have to use entity_picture not icon

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

OK, thanks

wet schooner Aug 14, 2020, 6:03 PM

I’m redecorating Lovelace and I need some help. I have a particular theme that includes transparency on all the cards. In one particular view, I’ve chosen a different theme, but the transparency persists.

Some themes manage to override this transparency, but I can’t figure out how they’re doing it. What am I missing?

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

is this the correct channel to ask about errors in log showing up on frontend?

#

basically im getting "Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from 192.168.1.93" which is my unraid server. i'm unable to figure out what would be causing that

true jungle Aug 14, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

@wet schooner I've tended to use a theme that uses the same color of the background. rgba(0,0,0,0) or transparent might work too

wet schooner Aug 14, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

Sorry. I probably wasn’t clear... The transparency works fine. My issue is that I’m trying to make the cards solid on one particular view by changing the theme for that view. Unfortunately, they are still picking up the transparency from the global theme.

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

@umbral harness could it be that your unraid server is trying to access the samba share in Home assistant?

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

oh possibly

#

im a noob with smb.. but iirc it tries to add it to a swarm with a master?

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Sorry, I have no idea.

junior anchor Aug 14, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to switch the image that a picture glance card references so that it displays one image in dark mode and another image in light mode?

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

I would think you can do that with a template, but exactly sure how.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

@gilded tiger i added guest in smb to see if that's it.

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/

#

@umbral harness you can also whitelist ip addresses in the configuration

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

good call. if this fixes it i will

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

@junior anchor if you figure it out, let me know. I would be interested in the full solution

junior anchor Aug 14, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

@gilded tiger will do, I have poked around the templating some but hadn't gotten anything working yet.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:02 PM

i have another question regarding streams from a camera. i'm using the picture entity card with a stream from my unifi doorbell (exposed as camera.doorbell entity) and after some time the card kinda.. disapppears? i have to refresh the browser for it to come back with a stream on lovelace

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

check out this card. https://github.com/dimagoltsman/refreshable-picture-card

#

it may fix your problem.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

it might

#

but i just realized it's really low fps

#

i think i need to try rtsp instead

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

yes, I would agree try rtsp. I had a camera running the rtsp stream that worked well.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

kk

#

so for rtsp do i need to install the stream integration?

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

I don't think so.

#

the picture glance cards, via the UI, has an option for camera feed.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

i can figure it out

#

i think i need to read the docs on the hacs unifi protect integration

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

in unifi protect you can enable an rtsp feed.

#

and setup a camera in you configuration.yaml file

#

something like this:

#

platform: generic
name: Cam1
still_image_url: "null"
stream_source: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.x.x/live
verify_ssl: false

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

i did enable the rtsp feed within protect on the camera

#

yeah i think he is already exposing that to doorbell.camera

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

make sure you put a static ip on the camera.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

but at low fps

#

yeah

#

good call

#

thx, i'll play with it

#

check out this card. https://github.com/dimagoltsman/refreshable-picture-card
@gilded tiger for this do i need to add his repo before installing with hacs?

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

buena suerte

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

i just moved from the docker container hass to hassos so i'm new to all the fancy stuff

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

no, just install via hacs

#

there are instructions within the repo for installing via hacs.

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

ah it's under frontend

#

sure enough

#

yea

#

i noticed the documentation.. was surprised it was so good

#

tyty

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

on my install, I aways have to add the resources manually

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

that's how my setup was

#

i really like moving things to docker and away from VMs, but i bit the bullet

#

btw looks like samba was the culprit to that error in logs

#

good call!

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

@gilded tiger another noob level question regarding the refreshable picture card..

#

in the github repo it shows "resources:" then a bit of code

#

does that mean it wants me to add that to the configuration.yaml?

#

i assume so

dark dirge Aug 14, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

if you're managing Loveloace through the UI, you can go to Configuriation->Lovelace->Resources

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

are you building your pages via yaml? or via the gui?

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

mostly gui

dark dirge Aug 14, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

it's not half and half 🙂

#

a little pregnant

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

oh

#

by pages you mean the dashboard tabs?

#

gui

dark dirge Aug 14, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

you're either in "storage"mode (UI) or YAML mode (YAML)

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

i see it in resources now

#

so that means it is linking it to the config via gui instead of adding to the configuration.yaml file?

dark dirge Aug 14, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

it keeps them in .storage for you

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

ok

#

so then i think i was a bit confused with what i added

#

i thought the refreshable picture card would then show up as an option to add an entity to

#

similar to picture glance card etc

#

instead, is it allowing me to add those cards via the manual card setup?

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

you have to select custom card at the bottom, the enter the code for it, like in the repo

umbral harness Aug 14, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

gotcha

#

that was my misunderstanding

#

i thought the repo was just showing how i could manually add it, not as a requirement

#

success! appreciate it.

gilded tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:54 PM

Glad to help. Lord knows I have received plenty of help here myself.

#

Hey guys, I'm new to Home Assistant and have been playing with custom dashboards. I've scoured the docs, but cant seem to find a way to customize the entity buttons at the top, above the cards. Is this possible?

dark dirge Aug 15, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

They’re called ‘badges’

vagrant summit Aug 15, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

thank you, that helps.

#

The only thing I could do with one is disable the entity, but that didn't seem to help. left the badge there with a warning.

#

I've created multiple dashboards, one for our rental home and one for our primary home, and I want to have only the badges that apply to that house. Fixing the cards was easy, but I'm stuck on the badges.

now that I know what they are called, I've been able to find a little more info online on how to customize them.

When you are using snapshots to restore, is there any reasons HA could not allow you to upload snapshots through the web ui? currently I have been having to install an addon and mess around with that to get access to put snapshots in, would see a easy way to get back going, is this something that can't happen for a reason or worth posting as suggestion.. thoughts?

chrome island Aug 16, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

hey, quick question, i'm on the latest 114.1 build, and i am unable to add any helpers via the GUI, all of the options in the dialog are grayed out. i originally had one input_datetime configured in yaml, and that one showed up as available but the others aren't. in testing, removing it from my config makes them all gray out.

is there something i'm missing? the documentation doesn't state it has to be turned on in the yaml config, but i'm wondering if i need to

#

well, enabling them in the config enabled them to be added via the gui, so i guess it's required

#

ah -- it's listed in default_configuration now, and i don't have that enabled. that's why!

latent moss Aug 16, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

@chrome island you need to either have default_config: or add them all manually

#

beaten

chrome island Aug 16, 2020, 1:37 AM

😄 yup, just figured that out! i'll keep an eye on default_config during updates and such. thanks @latent moss!

Anyone else have a problem with Lovelace showing the pop-up "Which card would you like to add to your "Home" view?" every time you load your dashboard? It's really annoying 😫

karmic tiger Aug 16, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

Yes, they are. And if you used the search, you'd find the answer 😉

#

You have card-tools installed. Don't.

calm terrace Aug 16, 2020, 8:05 PM

Only answer I found was to update HACS integrations and restart. Tried that but it's still happening

I'm pretty sure I don't have card-tools installed. Can't see it in HACS or Supervisor

karmic tiger Aug 16, 2020, 8:08 PM

https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/6526

Most people there are reporting card-tools as the culprit. Even if you didn't install it via HACS, it sounds like you installed it manually.

it seems home assistant automatically sets the radius around my house to like 200meters. where or how can i change it i cant find it in the config folder anywhere

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

the database has nothing to do with icons. other than reviewing the logs, I don't know what else to suggest

#

@hexed socket Did you configure a home zone? In YAML or the UI?

hexed socket Aug 16, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

no

#

well in the beining it asked on setup i think

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

you can change the radius if you do

hexed socket Aug 16, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

it wont let me under the maps tab

#

i have another zone setup and it has a with thing to shrink the size home is organge and wont shrink

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

I configured mine in YAML, so I don't know what it looks like in the UI

hexed socket Aug 16, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

can i add something to my config.yaml?

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

yes

Hi there, super basic and probably silly question. Running Home Assistant in docker, have hacs setup, I install a front end custom card, then go to lovelace>dashboards> resources and add the card I just installed i.e. /hacsfiles/slider-entity-row/slider-entity-row.js then restart HA, and yet when I try to add it into my lovelace it says that the custom element doesnt exist. Im sure im just missing a simple step, but I cant figure out what it is.

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

are you managing Lovelace in YAML or the UI?

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

currently in UI

hexed socket Aug 16, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

i think hacs auto adds the resources may be wrong

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

I think HACS should automatically the resource for you

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

is there a way to tell if it has or hasnt?

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

what does your card config look like?

#

it should show up where you say you added it

#

and it should auto-reload resources, so no restart should be needed

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

  - type: 'custom:slider-entity-row'
    entity: light.hanging_lamp```

hexed socket Aug 16, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

in the UI go to config/lovelace

#

top right reasource

#

shows whats loaded

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

there wasn't anything in there, and so ive been trying to figure out what file path it desires to see the module

#

tried like /www/community/slider-entity-row/slider-entity-row.js as well as just /hacsfiles/slider-entity-row.js etc

hexed socket Aug 16, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

odd i just install via hacs install button and rebooted and the resource showed up

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

Hmm

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

it tells you when you add it:

#

url: /hacsfiles/lovelace-slider-entity-row/slider-entity-row.js
type: module

#

that came from HACS when I just installed it

it can be confusing because the docs for the cards usually have a different path, and you can put it whereever you want manually

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:21 PM

Ah, I missed the lovelace part there...my bad :(

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:21 PM

but it looks like you're using the wrong path

that's why HACS should really do it for you, so you don't have to worry about it

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

Next I need to figure out the best way to add a whole room slider

#

There should be a "flex" channel here for people to share what their lovelace looks like, would be fun to drool over them

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

@hexed socket BTW, this speaks to your zone radius question: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/setting-home-radius-in-new-zones-ui/169497/2

#

there's a "Share your projects!" section in the forum

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:23 PM

ill have to browse

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:24 PM

probably better there than to have them lost to history in Discord

Man I copy pasted from another one, and it didnt work for some reason... /hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js url: /hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js type: module

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

you can always browse the directory yourself and find the file

#

"/hacsfiles" is just "www" and everything else is below it

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

I know the file path is /www/community/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js

dark dirge Aug 16, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

oh, "/hacsfiles" may be "/www/community", then

scenic bolt Aug 16, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

and I copy pasted the card from the github, so that shouldn't be an issue

#

yea, because the slider thing worked with /hacsfiles/

is there a way to pin a card? like badges but pinned card that always on top no matter what viewport is

karmic tiger Aug 17, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

You could take control of your dashboard and come up with a sensible layout. A mix of horizontal and vertical stacks can work. Or use layout-card.

pliant prairie Aug 17, 2020, 12:07 PM

i use vertical stack inside horizontal stack

i'll try layout-card, thanks

I have a card for my Harmony activities. 2 of these should lower the projector screen. However, as the screen takes a bit to lower down I would like it to start at the press of the button - not via automation based on remote entity status change (the status change only occurs after the activity is fully launched). Is it possible to build this command into the button for the activity?

pine plinth Aug 17, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

  - action: toggle
    entity: cover.shutter_screen_switch
  - action: call-service
    service: remote.turn_on
    service_data:
      activity: Leinwand
      entity_id: remote.wohnzimmer
type: button```

#

i.e. like this, but I am not in a position to test this right now.

strong falcon Aug 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

Having an issue that started sometime after updating to .114 where certain cards are not showing up in Chrome on Windows or Fully Kiosk on Android. The cards are still showing up on iOS Companion and Fully Kiosk on Fire Tablets. The cards in question are custom button cards with the same configuration. Any thoughts?

pine plinth Aug 17, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

actually on above, it should look like this but I am afraid the 3 action items under tap won't work: ```tap_action:

action: toggle
entity: cover.shutter_screen_switch
action: call-service
service: input_boolean.turn_on
service_data:
entity: input_boolean.harmony_activity
action: call-service
service: remote.turn_on
service_data:
activity: Kino
entity_id: remote.wohnzimmer
type: button

karmic tiger Aug 17, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

I believe a tap action has to be a singular action. However, that tap action could be a service call to invoke a script, and your script could have all those steps 😉

pine plinth Aug 17, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

oh perfect - thats the solution I was looking for. I will give it a try, thanks

junior ginkgo Aug 17, 2020, 3:43 PM

Good morning. I have a zwave motion sensor that shows 'on' or 'off' as the state. I'd like the icon on the screen to show a diff icon for the on or off state. Is there a way to do this from the standard lovelace ui config? or on the entity itself when setting the icon?

Still trying to wrap my head around yaml, and json, and how sensitive it is on the formation of text.

I have a switch: statement in my configuration.yaml from before, and now im trying to add an integration from reolink cameras, that also seem to contain a switch: statement, how can i make this work?

muted inlet Aug 17, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

switch:
- platform: foo
  ...
- platform: bar
  ...

rocky goblet Aug 17, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

including the new code in a separate file and calling it with !unclude does not help?

#

Oh @muted inlet i can do that even if they are completely unrelated to eachother?

muted inlet Aug 17, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

yeah, you can only have one of each primary key (switch: in this case)

#

.packages are an exception to that rule, but those are handled differently

kind shellBOT Aug 17, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

To enable packages, add packages: !include_dir_named packages to your configuration.yaml so that it looks similar to this:

homeassistant:
  name: Home
  latitude: !secret home_latitude
  ...
  packages: !include_dir_named packages

Important: The packages: line must be nested under homeassistant:!

For more information on packages, please refer to the packages docs: https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/packages/

rocky goblet Aug 17, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

For some reason i have always figured that code close together needed to be related

#

Yeah i have read several posts regarding how great packages are, being able to call a dir of your own yaml files

muted inlet Aug 17, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

well, they are related. they're both switch: platforms

#

but the hyphen makes them a list which separates them

rocky goblet Aug 17, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

But splitting it into packages also makes troubleshooting somewhat more dificult?

muted inlet Aug 17, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

oh this is an #integrations-archived topic by the way

Right you are, ill ask in that channel next time 🙂

I have a button card. I want haptic feedback when it is pressed (i.e. I want my phone to vibrate when I click it). Any way to force this?

muted inlet Aug 17, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

go to your profile and make sure "Vibrate" is turned on

somber harness Aug 17, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

It is, but the button doesn't vibrate my phone. It vibrates for some other things, so I know that the vibration works.

#

That's why I'm asking about the button card specifically.

muted inlet Aug 17, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

hmm, that's weird. works for me with button cards 🤷 maybe try force closing the app

somber harness Aug 17, 2020, 6:46 PM

Hmm. I'll keep messing with it then. Thanks!

Where is the proper place to request MDI icon additions?

karmic tiger Aug 17, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

That would probably be over on the Material Design project.

#

HA uses what's in MDI. HA doesn't add to MDI.

wheat current Aug 17, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign/issues/new/choose

signal prairie Aug 17, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Thanks! I already had MDI create the icons I want. Just need HA to include them.

#

So is there a specific area in GitHub for those requests or are we just at the developer mercy? Haha. I had MDI create an alarm panel icon for my custom alarm

karmic tiger Aug 17, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

The specific area is on that page Ludeeus just linked.

#

HA will eventually use a newer version of MDI, at which point you'll have access to all the icons in that version.

signal prairie Aug 18, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

That’s actually where you request for MDI themselves to add an icon, but alright.

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

That’s where they come from

#

If the icon already exists in a newer MDI release, it’ll eventually be picked up. If you want a new icon that doesn’t exist, you need to go to the source

Hi everyone, i have a toggle script in my frontend and i want that when i toggle the script with a button card, it switches between two different mdi icons, is this possible ?

#

Don't hesitate to mention me if i don't reply under 1 hour from 10am (UTC+2) because i'm very busy with notifications on discord

#

I'm french so sorry for my english if it is bad

compact nexus Aug 18, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

@candid acorn you could make a template switch which turns on the script as the turn_on action, and then use icon_template to tell it which icon to use. probably use an input boolean in the template

#

or just put the whole script in the template switch and dont use the script at all

candid acorn Aug 18, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

my script which is called in the button card in the frontend is a call service of a rest command which mute / unmute my speaker

compact nexus Aug 18, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

you could put the rest command in a template switch.

candid acorn Aug 18, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

can you explain me more please, i don't understand well what you're thinking about

compact nexus Aug 18, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.template/

#

a template switch runs actions (like in a script) as 'turn on' and 'turn off'. and you can define the icon and value template.

#

you'll just have to look into it, but it can do what you want.

candid acorn Aug 18, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

ok

#

so thank you, i will try your solution

#

🙏

compact nexus Aug 18, 2020, 12:43 AM

candid acorn Aug 18, 2020, 1:01 AM

i've tried that but the switch doesn't change state :

#

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      toggle_mute_cdj_speaker:
        value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.toggle_mute_cdj_speaker', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: rest_command.toggle_mute_cdj_speaker
        turn_off:
          service: rest_command.toggle_mute_cdj_speaker
        icon_template: >-
          {% if is_state('switch.toggle_mute_cdj_speaker', 'on') %}
            mdi:volume-high
          {% else %}

          {% endif %}

Anyone else having an issue where history-graph cards don't update unless you refresh the entire page?

candid urchin Aug 18, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

since upgrading to 114, I get a card popup when opening the lovelace frontend, and when refreshing. "Which card would you like to add to your "default_view" view?". any ideas?

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

@flint shard That’s been an issue for a long time, and one of the reasons I moved to mini-graph-card

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Might have to look into that. Is it possible to label the graph's axis with that add-on?

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

It’s not great at that

#

But check it out

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Yeaaah, that's why I don't use the graph on HA's built-in sensor cards

#

No axis labels kinda make graphs worthless

#

Yeah, looks like it doesn't label the X axis at all, and labeling the Y axis is limited

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

I have yet to find a graph solution that meets my needs

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Same, the history-graph card is the closest, but it's buggy in a number of ways

#

And the lack of auto-refresh is killing me

#

@dark dirge Hmm, installed it, set my card to show Y axis labels, and... nothing. Still only shows them on hover even though they're set to always show

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

Yeah, that’s how it works. It’s all about minimal design

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

Except the documentation appears to show you can make it always show labels...

#

Default: Hover. Options: Hover / True / False

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

Fine for trends, not so great for visualizing actual data points

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

I would assume "True" = always show

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

You can bring it up on the forum thread

#

It confused me too

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Actually, even setting them all to "False" doesn't work...

#

Still shows them on hover

dark dirge Aug 18, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Or file an issue

flint shard Aug 18, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

I'm probably just going to uninstall it, it really doesn't do anything the Sensor card doesn't already do

Hi Is there a known bug with "Select which users should see this view in the navigation" in the lovelace panel view.
Me the admin have 3 tabs A,B,C in lovelace
i only want my daughter with her own login to see tab C
when she logs in she can see tab A
somethings not right has anyone else see this or is it just me.

Hi guys, I've got a weird problem...apologies if I'm not searching for this properly on the HA forums.

Every time I "refresh" the Lovelace UI (F5 on Chrome, drag down from top on my phone), I get a popup asking which card I would like to add to my Home view. It's the default "Add new entities" card, it happens every time without fail.

I am not in the "Configure UI" view. I'm literally just refreshing my frontend

#

Not letting me upload a screenshot here...not sure how to proceed.

I have tried:

Restarting HA from Configuration -> Server Controls -> Restart
Restarting HA through Supervisor -> System -> Reboot
Rebooting the actual VM (ESXi, Hass.io VMDK image)

^ None of the above work

#

It's even happening on my wife's HomeAssistant mobile dashboard - she's not an Admin user and does NOT have permission to create new UI elements!

kind shellBOT Aug 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

elder pendant Aug 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

What version of HA are you using and are you using any custom frontend cards/plugins?

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Thank you Villhelm - I'll upload a screenshot via imgur right now.

I'm using:

HassOS 4.12
HomeAssistant 0.114.2
ESXi 6.7, VMDK image
HACS, with a few "frontend" components. button-card, fold-entity-row, Secondaryinfo Entity Row, card-mod, Atomic Calendar, auto-entities, card-tools
^ These frontend components are primarily for the Simplified ZWave Lock Manager that FutureTense and firstof9 put together

#

Here's the view that pops up each time I refresh. Both on my Admin account (Desktop, Mobile) and my wife's non-admin account with a personal dashboard I've built just for her (non-admin, both desktop and mobile) https://i.imgur.com/ddVQgCz.png

elder pendant Aug 18, 2020, 5:20 PM

Does it let you actually add a card?

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Yes, if I click say "Gauge" (the second icon in the screenshot above) it'll happily add the SM-G965W Battery Level gauge in. Even on the non-admin acc

elder pendant Aug 18, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Interesting. Definitely seems like a pretty major bug

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Correction: it'll add it on my Admin account. On the NON-Admin account it'll get to the "add" part but won't actually add. It'll just keep spinning on the "Submit" page

elder pendant Aug 18, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Well at least there's that

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Makes sense, since non-Admin account does not have Configure UI permissions - it's only a dashboard for the wife with no modify privs

#

yep. To make it go away, on desktop I hit esc and the dashboard behind it, behaves as normal. On mobile (Android) I have to go to "Cancel". My wife pointed it out since the "popup" shows up each time and she has to dismiss it to control any lights etc

#

One thing to note, I'm on HACS 1.3.0b1, whereas 1.4.1 is available. And card-tools (custom card) version 10, version 11 is available. I will update those and report back

#

HACS doesn't "nag" to update, I have to go to the HACS template page to see any updates available, so I usually miss it

wheat current Aug 18, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

https://hacs.xyz/docs/basic/automation#updates-pending You can make it "nag"

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

@rocky arrow do you have card-tools?

elder pendant Aug 18, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

They said they did have card-tools

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Remove it. You (98% likely) don’t need it anyway.

#

And if you do, update it.

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

@wheat current thank you for that HACS notification piece! I'll take a look at that next 🙂

#

@elder pendant @polar kelp yep - I do have card-tools. Just updated HACS to 1.4.1, will try updating card-tools next. It was on v10, available is v11

#

@polar kelp can you tell me a bit about that? Why remove? I understand update, it should always be latest of course

#

FYI, after updating HACS to 1.4.1 (figured it's unrelated) the popup still happens every time so far

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Since... idk... 6 months, maybe(?) all my cards have the relevant pieces of card-tools built in rather than require it being installed.

#

You should only have card-tools installed if the documentation for a card specifically says so.

#

And if you find one of those, let the developer know I’ll gladly help them update to the new, better method.

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

ah, you're the developer for card-tools! Very cool. Just saw the github page for it, ty 🙂

#

For reference, I got to card-tools from here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/simplified-zwave-lock-manager-update/166419/1

https://github.com/FutureTense/lock-manager

^ Here the description states to have lovelace-auto-entities and lovelace-card-tools in order for the UI to behave properly. Not sure if this is the most up-to-date method

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

Yeah... those instructions seem to be just over a year old...

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Yep they're definitely out of date. I followed the original + a combination of @round lily 's followup instructions in the (long) HA Community thread above - thanks for that, by the way!

#

Ok, just updated card-tools to 11. Restarting - will let you know how it behaves after

#

looks like 23 days ago, firstof9 suggested (in that same discussion thread above) to ensure HACS card-tools and auto-entities are still added

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Holy moly the things this developer does!

#

It’s more hacky than if I had made it!

#

Amazing!

round lily Aug 18, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

lol

#

all i did was convert FutureTense's .sh into a similar python and intergationized it

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

Can’t see anything in there that requires card-tools, though.

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

👋 hey! yay more people to the party

#

I can't speak on what the hacks are, but I know simplified-zwave-lock-manager was built off ANOTHER lock-manager project, so card-tools might be dead code in there

#

@round lily i'm referring to the immense help you provided me and several others on the HA discussion thread, especially between May/June 🙂

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

I’m sure it works, and probably consistently too, but... let’s say it’s not how things were meant to be done...

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Fair enough haha - good to know

polar kelp Aug 18, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Then again, it’s not things that were meant to be done either...

#

The modability of Home Assistant keeps blowing my mind.

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

Ha, agreed!

round lily Aug 18, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

hopefully that's a good thing 😛

#

i think lock manager's only using the fold-entity-row card now

#

@rocky arrow i posted my UI on github in case you'd like to have a look: https://github.com/firstof9/my-ha-config

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

@polar kelp so I CAN confirm..updating to card-tools v11 DOES solve my problem. The HomeAssistant UI new card/entity popup no longer shows up. Tried after a fresh restart, login, both on the admin (mine) + non-admin (wife's) account. So that did it - thank you very much!

#

@round lily I really appreciate this, very detailed screenshots. Lots of good stuff in your UI, will take a look - thank you!

round lily Aug 18, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

you're welcome 🙂

frank crest Aug 18, 2020, 6:41 PM

If I have an entity called sensor.door_contact how can I display the corresponding state.last_updated on a card in lovelace?

#

nm, found it: - entity: sensor.door_contact
secondary_info: last-changed

random mantle Aug 18, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Hello everyone

#

i made 2 scripts : start stream and stop stream and i wonder if i can use 1 nice button for this in lovelace in stead of 2 seperate buttons ? Play/Stop

#

can someone maybe help me please

amber jewel Aug 18, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

I have such a weird error

#

whenever I open something like a badge and close it, it will act like i hit the back button and go in to the last menu I was in

#

not sure why heh

unique jay Aug 18, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

@rocky arrow I am getting the same thing. Can you let me know if you get a fix or a reply?

elder pendant Aug 18, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

The answer was to either uninstall or update card-tools

rocky arrow Aug 18, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

@unique jay ^ this exactly, what @elder pendant said. I had to update card-tools to v11. Didn't chance uninstalling it because it claims to be needed for Simplified Zwave Lock Manager

unique jay Aug 18, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

@rocky arrow Thankyou. :) Just did it and it's seemed to have worked now. I didn't see what Villhellm had said previously unfortunately.
Thanks for the help!

languid bridge Aug 19, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

any ideas why my map wont show tile nicely? It shows one of them on the "map" sidebar thing. It shows all properly in a map card. Why wont it show in the map sidebar thing? I've reconnected tile, etc with no dice

(I dont think it's a tile issue since it works fine in a map card just not the main map)

#

looks like it will only show items not at Home... 😦

surreal pulsar Aug 19, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Does anyone know how to force Lovelace to stick to 2 columns without putting everything inside two vertical stacks side by side (assuming that would even work)?

#

Also, can badges receive custom names?

dark dirge Aug 19, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

Multiple vertical stacks is tried-and-true

#

You can check out the layout-card

fluid axle Aug 19, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

Morning all, Was hoping for some advice please. I have a Fibaro RGB dimmer and setup the custom:light-entity-card and I can cycle through colours however the colours on the card don't match the output from the lights for instance setting red comes out yellow and was wondering if there is a way to correct that?

muted saddle Aug 19, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

does customize_glob: "switch.*": state_color: true
not work anymore? i got it in my config but in lovelace my switches still dont show state color

dark dirge Aug 19, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

I don’t think that’s a customization, but a property for a card

#

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-make-state-color-true-global/169556/126

#

A bunch of people thinking the same as you, a bunch of people realizing it doesn’t work, general pitchforks and arguments, and the whole thing fizzled out months ago

muted saddle Aug 19, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

so i have to add it on every single damn card?

#

that sounds like a horrible idea

#

even more so as it does not work with folding entity row

#

got it to work, but thats just a horribly dumb way to have it tbh. now i gotta set it to every single damn card

#

wierd thing is it does show state for some switches anyway, without having it inside the card or customize section of the config..

#

im ok with haveing the option for it, but it should default to true, i cant imagine a single person going "oh shit, why does it change color, i dont want that"

tall reef Aug 19, 2020, 8:59 AM

I everyone. I just updated from 0.113.3 to 0.114.2 and now the webpage is down. I can ping my server

vapid field Aug 19, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

Custom element doesn't exist: monster-card.

#

what might be the problem, it seems that i set up the monster-card correctly

#

In /config/ui-lovelace.yaml i have:

  - url: /local/monster-card.js
    type: js```

#

with the monster-card.js in this folder:

#

config/www/monster-card.js

#

what is going wrong?

#

first time messing with lovelace btw, so might be an easy solution im missing

spiral nexus Aug 19, 2020, 11:54 AM

I posted in the homeassistant OS channel, I'm unable to view my front end... Or anything, if anyone could help I'm desperate..

polar kelp Aug 19, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

@vapid field i suggest you google lovelace-auto-entities instead.

#

You also need to restart hass after first creating www/

vapid field Aug 19, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

i did restart it

#

every step i took

polar kelp Aug 19, 2020, 12:19 PM

#

Or better yet, get HACS over at https://hacs.xyz and all your troubles will be replaced with less severe ones.

HACS: Home Assistant Community Store

HACS gives you a powerful UI to handle downloads of all your custom needs.

Is there a way to add a subtitle to a lovelace card? I have a simple entity card with three booleans my wife can turn on and off, and I'd like to show a subtitle or some text under the card's title that explains something.

mild veldt Aug 19, 2020, 12:41 PM

#

@somber harness wrap it in a vertical stack with a markdown card below the entity card with your text

#

Can't be directly below the title

somber harness Aug 19, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

@mild veldt Ah, good thinking. I'll look into it. Thanks!

somber harness Aug 19, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

This isn't quite an answer to my original question, but I can also use a dummy-entity-row combined with custom-card's secondaryinfo-entity-row to add custom text below a dummy entity. Not quite what i wanted but it will work for what I'm after.

karmic tiger Aug 19, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

It'd probably be an automation but you have the right idea.

#

Scripts are just a series of actions. Automations have a trigger, condition and set of actions (just a script at the end, really).

#

If it has to respond to something happening, it's an automation.

hollow otter Aug 19, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

Not a support question, just wanted to mention something I thought of that I thought would be a really great improvement for the HA UI. Adding customize options into the entity dialog boxes.
https://i.imgur.com/9gfiFTh.png
I already made the thread on the forums, but wanted to mention it here too.

Hey all, i'm looking for some help, cant figure out where this went wrong, but i jsut updated Hass.io and it now shows multiple entities not available. they are all entities connected to my RFXcom 433 receiver. The receiver still shows up in the hardware list and i havent changed anything in my config. Just ran the update. Hope someone can point me in the right direction...

#

i updated to HassOS 4.12, after this the enities are unavailable

hollow otter Aug 19, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Nothing in the logs about that integration?

vapid field Aug 19, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

nothing i can find...i use the log viewer addon to check logs

#

before the update i see a lot, stuff like 0b1101180001400c02010f40 turned of

#

but since the update there is just nothing..

kind shellBOT Aug 19, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

Generally, don't tag people to ask for help - it comes across as bad manners, you’re demanding somebody answers you. It’s different if you’re thanking somebody, obviously. If you do tag somebody keep it polite and respectful. Remember that everybody is a volunteer, and nobody has to help you, and people may block you.

Similarly, please don’t DM (direct message) people asking for help. It also comes across as demanding, and means that others can’t learn from what you do.

Finally, please keep tagging people in replies to a minimum. That too can become annoying very quickly and should be used only when it's necessary (such as if it's been a long time, or there's multiple conversations going on).

karmic tiger Aug 19, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

There isn't a card trigger type. The reason I suggested automations over scripts is that presumably you'll want to keep the 'radio buttons' in sync regardless of what sets them.

#

Also, script and automations questions belong in #automations-archived, where you can ask your question without tagging people. Someone will answer when they're ready.

vapid field Aug 19, 2020, 6:40 PM

Hi, I hav added my remote control commands as switches (broadlink). In Lovelace, is there a way to only show the on command and hide the off. Tryed to google it but I'm not sure what to google.

keen reef Aug 19, 2020, 9:08 PM

Is there a place to share screenshots of your lovelace UI? Would like to see what novel things people are doing

dark dirge Aug 19, 2020, 9:10 PM

there's this: https://community.home-assistant.io/c/projects/frontend/34

junior topaz Aug 20, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

wife forgot her password to the ios app. I found an article on how to reset it but I can't figure it out

#

says use the console? I am using docker

muted inlet Aug 20, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

@junior topaz there's no password to the app, it's just your home assistant password. That being said, are you an owner? If you are you can delete her user and re-create it

#

Configuration > users

#

If you're actually using a docker install. Do you have the Supervisor menu in the sidebar?

junior topaz Aug 20, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

I am logged in as admin. I have developer tools and configuration

#

currently on 0.100.3

muted inlet Aug 20, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Ok so yeah the auth reset things won't work for you since that's a Supervisor specific thing

#

Oof. That's pretty far behind, I'd consider updating

junior topaz Aug 20, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

i plan to soon. haven't had time and disabled docker updates because the updated images were breaking everything constantly

muted inlet Aug 20, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

Yeah, auto-updates aren't advised

dense timber Aug 20, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

can you put the add automation in the sidebar?

lime portal Aug 20, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

Quick question - is it possible to have a Lovelace card showing the state history line chart like you get in the history panel?
Nothing coming up in the searches in making. TIA :)

#

@lime portal ... and that would be why. It's the the same history graph as I'm using for my numeric states. I was specifically removing/ignoring the history graph in my searches!

#

Don't presume the thumbnail is what you get!

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

can we still do custom icon colors based on state?

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

With card-mod

#

Or in many cases to an extent by setting state_color: true.

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 11:52 AM

#

looking for two different color for both active and inactive

#

i have state_color: true implemented now for an input boolean, but i'm looking for a way to have the inactive state green and active state red.

karmic tiger Aug 20, 2020, 11:59 AM

If only there was a way to mod cards.

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

Be nice, mono.
Card-mod is probably your solution, bwze. It's one of the first hits on google, and iirc there's an example in the readme.

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

thanks @polar kelp, and @karmic tiger, thanks for the sarcasm...

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

I'm saving this here for later. I have a feeling it might come in handy...

📎 card-mod.jpg

#

Do you guys remember the days when the answer to half of the questions around here was "monster-card"?

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

So @polar kelp , this is new to me...i'

#

I've been using customUI before this....anyway, I've added card-mod.js to my www/plugins folder and created the resource as directed in the documentation.

#

for testing purposes, I tried to style the using one of the examples in the documentation...

#

style: |
ha-card {
color: red;
}

#

but I'm getting this message after doing so...

#

UI editor is not supported for this config:
Key "style" is not supported by the UI editor.You can still edit your config in yaml.

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

That's right. The editor can't handle style: for now, unfortunately.

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

gotcha

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

But the card still works.

#

And if you remove the style part, the editor will come back.

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

yep

#

so to use....edit configuration.yaml then...correct?

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

No. Everything with card-mod is done in the frontend configuration and on a card-by-card basis.

#

It's not a complete replacement for customUI.

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Ok, I hate to be a complete tool...but how would change icon color based on state then?

broken marsh Aug 20, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

Is it not possible to search (CTRL+F) after devices in the History panel?

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

@fiery sail First of all, did it work? Did the text of the card you tested on turn red?

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

@polar kelp , nope

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

Even after saving?

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

correct

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

Did you follow the instructions here for adding the resource? https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins They are more up to date.

#

And I notice you said you added the .js file to www/plugins/card-mod.js, did you use /local/plugins/card-mod.js for your resource url?

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

you must be a mind reader

#

it's working now

#

so by that logic....if,

#

style: |
ha-card {
background: {% if is_state('light.bed_light', 'on') %} green {% endif %};
}

#

results in the background changing color...instead of background would I use icon?

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

You probably want --state-icon-color: {% if....

#

Or maybe --paper-item-icon-color.

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

that did it....is there a way to direct that toward only one entity?

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

Yep. And there's the example I mentioned too: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod#styling-entity-and-glance-cards

fiery sail Aug 20, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

ahhhh....i see it now

#

working like a charm....thanks for the education my friend

#

i notice that if you add state_color: true back to the config...it overrides the card-mod changes

polar kelp Aug 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Yes, because then the icons use different color variables.

#

I think it could be --paper-item-icon-active-color and --paper-itm-icon-inactive-color, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hey folks! What cards/configs are people using to put Netatmo weather data in Lovelace?

upbeat sun Aug 20, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

Not sure if this is the right channel, but here goes: I'm completely unable to sign in to my HASS install. I have one browser that's currently signed in, but nothing else can authenticate successfully (Chrome and Safari). This is a big problem for me right now, as I was trying to reauth my mobile integrations

#

https://imgur.com/a/WJEtei3 is a screen recording of my issue (i know that's iPad Safari, but neither macOS Safari or macOS Chrome work)

karmic tiger Aug 20, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

As per the topic, this channel's for Lovelace dashboard stuff.

#

If you've messed up your setup somehow, a better place to ask would be the relevant installation channel

kind shellBOT Aug 20, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

Not sure which install you're using? If you have system_health enabled you can check Configuration -> Info, or see the following.

If you're using HassOS, flashed an image, or booted a VM with an image you're using #330990055533576204
If you installed Linux and then ran a script to install HA and have add-ons then you have #330944238910963714
If you're running docker commands or use a Docker manager and have no add-ons then you have #449717345808547842
Finally, if you use pip to install or upgrade you have #551864459891703809

Having difficulty chosing an install method? See this blog post for guidance.

ok. thanks 😄

Can someone tell me, why the history on my sensor shows me "5 hours ago", but the history graph shows no action for at least 24 hours?
Screenshot: https://d.pr/i/UGvP7I

elder pendant Aug 20, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Sensors can be updated without changing states. Usually it's because attributes are being updated

bleak lily Aug 20, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

Alright, thanks :)

candid stump Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

I read about the Diagnostics & Crash reports sharing in the patch notes and I want to turn it on. Why is it so hard to find this option? What is the supervisor panel? a one time prompt after updating would have been appreciated

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Supervisor is only available in Supervised installations, and the Supervisor handles the diagnostics and crash reporting

candid stump Aug 21, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

ahh... I just have the standard home assistant core in a docker instance. Is there any metrics or reporting I can turn on that would be useful to the team?

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

probably better asked in your respective installation method channel. In this case, #449717345808547842

#

I thought there was an integration

sweet sail Aug 21, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

Hi, can you suggest some sensor, integration or plugin which will count days from specific time ? Something like this ? https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?d1=1&m1=1&y1=1990&d2=&m2=&y2=

#

I have found only for anniversaries,

#templates-archived can help you make a sensor to do that @sweet sail

hoping this is the right channel, but I keep getting an invalid config for resources, but the only place i can add resources is in the configuration.yaml...

This is how I am adding it into my config yaml

Can you have a markdown card with a tap action? I have a card displaying some text and using templates but I'd really like to be able to click on it to take me to another lovelace view?

elder pendant Aug 21, 2020, 3:40 PM

If you're getting an invalid config error then it doesn't relate to the validity of the url, the actual configuration is incorrect

sorry didnt realize that much was a code wall. My question was
would someone mind walking a n00b through some basic Floorplan questions?
I created a bunch of files in sweethome 3d, put them in www/Floorplan and now I am trying to create a card. However I am getting no card type configured error with the above setup

#

this exists in Config -> Lovelace -> Resources
/hacsfiles/config-template-card/config-template-card.js

wheat current Aug 21, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

I am trying to create a card.

#

How are you doing that?

#

What you shared is a view, not a card

#

are you using the "manual-card" in the UI for this?

nimble thistle Aug 21, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

where all can we use !include file.yaml for lovelace UI? Trying to split up my yaml config, but I'm getting unknown tag !<!include> at ...
Current config:

views:
  - cards:
      - type: 'custom:mod-card'
        card:
          type: vertical-stack
          cards:
            - !include top-row.yaml # here

#

where top-row.yaml is in ~/.homeassistant/top-row.yaml

elder pendant Aug 21, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

You're using lovelace in yaml mode?

nimble thistle Aug 21, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

yup

elder pendant Aug 21, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

Using includes like that works fine for me

nimble thistle Aug 21, 2020, 7:39 PM

hmm shit

elder pendant Aug 21, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Where are you seeing that error?

nimble thistle Aug 21, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

in the in-browser UI yaml editor

elder pendant Aug 21, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

If you're in YAML mode then there is no UI yaml editor

nimble thistle Aug 21, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

uh

#

I meant more so editing in the browser using the lovelace yaml editor, as opposted to doing it through a text editor (i.e. vim, nano)

#

https://i.imgur.com/Z24NITj.png <-- screenshot of what I mean

elder pendant Aug 21, 2020, 7:46 PM

That's not yaml mode

you're still in storage mode

no

knotty vine Aug 21, 2020, 10:23 PM

Cool. I've got a card that recently started acting very funky. sensor.smartweather_feels_like displays on the card as a flat line at the bottom of the graph. Code is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WmgVxYDDtn/

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

I've seen mini-graph-card go crazy sometimes

knotty vine Aug 21, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

When mousing over the points, the historical value changes, so it KNOWS the value it should be.

#

The weird thing is, I've got some other cards tracking server loads and they're working perfectly.

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

it's usually related to me constantly reloading the page/clearing the cache to test other stuff

#

I've had some luck with clearing the local data for mini-graph-card in the browser console

knotty vine Aug 21, 2020, 10:26 PM

Hmmm.

#

NM. I'll learn it better if I look it up myself. 🙂

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 10:27 PM

I'd have to dig around to find it 🙂 It's in "local storage" or something

Every time I open a new HA tab on Firefox on Windows, my theme is set back to Auto (white), even though I continue to set it to Dark. Is this a feature?

deep hedge Aug 21, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

This is on 0.114

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

if it's not saving local data per tab

deep hedge Aug 21, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

I don't follow, Rob

#

Is this because I'm using private mode in FF, perhaps? I was thinking this is a system setting, but now remember that it is per client. Does this also mean 'per tab'?

dark dirge Aug 21, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

the browser saves your choice, so if you have some sort of "privacy mode" turned on in Firefox where it doesn't save any data, then it may not "remember" between tabs

deep hedge Aug 22, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Roger that. I'll dig into it from that angle. Thanks!

I've put a grafana chart in my dashboard however I get a "401: Unauthorized" displayed inside the panel every now and then. Problem gets solved once I load the Grafana plugin from the sidebar. Anyone can help to get it to load without having to go into the Grafna plugin every time

lofty geyser Aug 22, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

is there a way to make it only show devices assosiated with a person so that i dont have a billion deviecs i dont care about showing up on the home screen

#

it currnetly shows all devices, even if they arent assosiated with a person, so it shows things like the xbox and the tv that are always connected

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

@lofty geyser Take control of your dash. The default Lovelace-controller one will show every entity. If you take control, you can decide what's shown.

pallid ibex Aug 22, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

is it possible to have full width horizontal stack w/o panel mode, in panel mode i am missing the badge icons on top and some padding around

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

Nope. Panel mode is always full width.

#

Lovelace will always pick the right number of columns for your device too, so you don't control that.

#

You could try layout-card and see if that'll do what you're after.

pallid ibex Aug 22, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

i think i do not understand the grid system, i decided not to use the horizontal stacks as i probably do not understand it's purpose and it does not to behave like e.g. in grafana.
now i am using it with 3 items weather forecarst card, vertical stack (with two graphs), vertical stack (with two graphs). i can have the cards next to each other but only vertical, vertical, weather, but weather, vertical, vertical is not possible looks like a bug to me

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

I don't know what you mean. Could you share an image?

kind shellBOT Aug 22, 2020, 11:20 AM

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

pallid ibex Aug 22, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

https://imgur.com/a/aBWlSSf

#

hm okay probably "the automatic responsive system" tries to "reuse" the space under the weather card and puts the other vertical underneath, i really like the ui, would be great if it can be more intuitive

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 11:24 AM

#

That's not a bug. It's just Lovelace's algorithm deciding how many columns to use.

#

If you want control, use panel mode + vertical stacks...

#

And if you really want something that looks like badges, you can use other custom cards like button-card to make them.

how do I set the color of the name when in a particular state with button-card?

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

Something like this should work:

  styles:  
    icon:
      - color: >
          [[[
            if (entity.state < 60) return 'lime';
            if (entity.state >= 60 && entity.state < 80) return 'orange';
            else return 'red';
          ]]]```

#

Obviously for name instead of icon, and update the logic as needed.

finite pond Aug 22, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

Looks like I need to learn JS. Thanks as always.

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

Yeah, for any logic in the frontend with custom cards, you're almost always going to have to use JS. Fortunately, it's a simple language to pick up.

As a general rule, built-in cards don't accept templates, custom cards do.

There's a floorplan custom card that's basically a more powerful picture-elements. And there's button-card which can do almost anything.

slender wraith Aug 22, 2020, 2:03 PM

Long time since I have added a Custom-card - have I been missing out on something ? As custom elements doesn't exist even though then card seems to be installed and loaded https://imgur.com/bxIQZQG and https://imgur.com/Jd5tBll

Refresh your cache. Ctrl+F5 in most browsers.

slender wraith Aug 22, 2020, 2:04 PM

Thanks - that did the trick

#

I wonder if "Refresh your cache" should be added to the installation guide for Front-end HACS

karmic tiger Aug 22, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

'Refresh your cache' is basically just a 'something in my browser isn't working' troubleshooting step.

#

Nothing specific to HACS.

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:16 PM

Hey guys, I'm trying to add an image to lovelace using the "picture" element. However, it requires a url (external source) or a file in 'local' like: /config/www/image.jpg
But this make this image publicly accessible. Is there a way to just use the things own fileshare?

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

what is "the thing" in this case?

honest herald Aug 22, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

Probably stupid simple but how can I hide the icon from a sensor entity in a glance card? I have 3 in the card but just one hidden. I didnt see the option in customize

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

The "thing" in this case is Home assistant

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

you mean like embedding the image into the page that's being served?

#

otherwise, it's just a reference that needs to be resolved by the browser that's displaying it

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

I'm a bit confused why you're forced to make an image publicly accessible before you can use it :/

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

because that's how browsers work

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Well yeah, I get that, but websites work by hosting their own text and images usually

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

publically

#

because your browser has to be able to get to it to display it

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

Not exactly, if I host an apache2 server at home and dont forward it on the router, it's not publicly accessible

#

It's accessible, just not publicly

honest herald Aug 22, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

Is the image in www/

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

I know that

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

the bottom line is that if your browser can't get to it from where you're viewing it, it can't display it

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

I understand that part, I get that the browser needs to access it. I also know that if you want to access the lovelace environment that you need to enter a username and password before you can access it

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

@honest herald You can choose to hide all icons, but I don't think you can selectively disable some icons in a glance card

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

I get that the image has to be accessible

honest herald Aug 22, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

@dark dirge hmm okay il play around with it.

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

When I tell the device to use a local website that I run at home and use a locally stored image, it works for me since I am at home and I can access the internal website. However, why am I not able to add an image to the home assistant config folder and not make it publicly accessible without any credentials

#

I'm okay with the people that can login, they can see the image. But people that are unable to can see the image once you browse to my public address.

#

My question was simple, at least, that's what I thought. I want to locally host the image (on the home assistant) so that the image is only visible to the users of the device

#

Why? Because it's a picture of me and my partner. Not everyone has to have access to that image, otherwise I would have just used imgur

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I understand your use case now, but I don't know of a way to solve it with Lovelace

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

It's odd to me though, since it's perfectly fine browsing through it's own folders when looking for the cert files

dark dirge Aug 22, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

one way would be to run your own web server that has whatever access control you like and serve the image from there

dusk holly Aug 22, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

Seems a bit much for a single image lol

You sure you followed all the steps? You might also need to refresh the page before the card is available

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

now you made me curious and I also tried installing zha-network-visualization-card but I end up having a "Custom element doesn't exist: zha-network-visualization-card"

#

that's what i had @fierce vale

fierce vale Aug 23, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

but I tried another browser and it does NOT help

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

try a different browser or close the tab, clear cache,

fierce vale Aug 23, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

still the same

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

did u do step 2 and 3?

fierce vale Aug 23, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

at zha-map, what does that mean: 5. Add to your lovelace global config as type: module

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

restart HA and started a scan?

#

In HA click on Configuration ¦ Lovelace Dashboards ¦ Resources ¦ ⊕ ¦ URL:/local/zha-network-visualization-card.js & Resource Type JavaScript Module ¦ Update

#

and did u install zha_map via HACS?

fierce vale Aug 23, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

yes. Did all that

#

used copy&paste mostly, so also typos more or less to exclude

#

the file I created is now in /config/www/zha-network-vizualization-card/zha-network-visualization-card.js

#

and the lovelace resource points to /local/zha-network-visualization-card.js

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

yep, that should work

#

u definitely did the scan?

#

as in Step 3

fierce vale Aug 23, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

I can do again, no problem

#

zha_map.scan_now

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

yes

fierce vale Aug 23, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

where can I see a result?

brisk badger Aug 23, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

in the debug logs I think it says?
