The cover flag will stretch or cut depending on the image size and the resolution used to view it. It's not a one size fits all. If the image is blurred it means it's being stretch meaning his resolution is higher than the image and the image is being stretched by the cover flag.

#

Is there a way to add "box-shadow" to a picture elements card? (or any other card which isn't custom:button-card)..

smoky depot
#

@gilded swallow I don't use it but I think there is a card-mod or something that allows you to do stuff like that

stoic rain
#

Does anyone with an electric car have a creative Lovelace-view for it that I can get inspired by?

#

Feel free to share in PM if you don't want to publicly 🙂

crisp hare
#

Using custom:button-card, easy..
@gilded swallow any example?

gilded swallow
#

@crisp hare
name: |-
[[[
If (states[entity].state == 'value')
return whatever
return something else
]]]

@gilded swallow Cool thanks! I will give it a shot

gilded swallow
#

👍

crisp hare
#

what if you want it to just display the value no matter what it is? can it just set the value or does it have to be a bunch of if statements?

gilded swallow
#

It can

crisp hare
#

will it change/update when the value changes?

gilded swallow
#

It will

crisp hare
#

Cool thats what I was hoping for

#

what would it be to just set the state as the name? something like...

  [[[
    states[entity].state
  ]]]```

#

i have a lot of different media players that i need to turn off and on at configurable times.. i want these times to be configured through the lovelace frontend.. how can this be done?

#

i was thinking some kind of week schedule..

#

is something like this easily accompished through the UI or do i have to create something custom?

crisp hare
#

It will
@gilded swallow can this be done with a gauge too?

gilded swallow
#

Outside of a custom:button-card?
I believe it can be done with card-mod, tho I haven't tried it...

crisp hare
#

Oh, well what I am trying to do is have a gauge, that changes the name depending on the value of another sensor, idk if there is another easier way?

tacit cave
#

make a template sensor with a friendly_name template

#

use the template sensor as the entity for the gauge

#

FYI it cannot be done with cardmod. Card mod can only modify styles, not elements.

crisp hare
#

ok thanks!

#

Did I read there was a way to reload config without restarting, in one of these new versions/updates?

tacit cave
#

depends on the integration

crisp hare
#

just referring to adding the template sensor and having to reload configuration.yaml?

formal tide
#

@outer gulch use the google calendar integration to set times when the media players should turn on

crisp hare
#

@tacit cave does this look right?

    sensors:
      purpleair_aqi:
        friendly_name: 'PurpleAir AQI'
        friendly_name_template: "{{ states('sensor.purpleair_description') }}"
        unique_id: purpleair_aqi```
tacit cave
#

Remove friendly name

#

And unique I’d

crisp hare
#

ah k

#

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

tacit cave
#

You also need value template to pull state from other device

outer gulch
#

@formal tide i want a pure-home assistant solution.. this requires that the managers should use google calendar to automate stuff, right?

formal tide
crisp hare
#

You also need value template to pull state from other device
@tacit cave oh so the above wont work?

#

cant i just use a friendly name template, ON the sensor template that is used for the data source for the gauge?

tacit cave
#

Nope

crisp hare
#

So I don't get where I am using the friendly_name_template then? the info "sensor.purpleair_description" i am pulling the value from IS a sensor with a value template

tacit cave
#

You need to make a template sensor. This will replace the sensor you are using

#

The value template pulls the state from the sensor that you want to change the name of

#

The friendly name template changes the name

#

Set the unit of measurement equal to the other sensor

#

Now you have a completely new sensor that you use all over UI while the other sensor is unused in the background

crisp hare
#

yes i already have a template sensor, and that is what is used in the gauge, because I am already changing the value in that value template, since i already have that value template, wouldn't I just have to add the friendly name template to that same template sensor? That is already used in the gauge on the UI?

tacit cave
#

If it’s a template sensor, then yes

#

Friendly name template is only available on template sensors

crisp hare
#

Yes its already a template sensor that is changing the values with some math in the value template... this template sensor is what is used for the gauge. I just want to alter the name dynamically with the value of another sensor state

tacit cave
#

Then add the friendly name template to that sensor and restart

crisp hare
#

ok cool, what is the correct syntax of the friendly name template, if I just wanted to make the name the state of another sensor?

tacit cave
#

Use the state_attr method

grand acorn
#

I am trying to standardize the output on a card from a couple of different sensors. I tested my template in the developer tools template box and it looks to be doing what I want. How do I take that template and apply it to the card?

tacit cave
#

@grand acorn Lovelace cards don't accept templates

mild veldt
#

well...

tacit cave
#

there's a mini * next to that

mild veldt
#

one core card does, markdown. and then of course templating cards

tacit cave
#

yah, mini *

mild veldt
#

🙂

tacit cave
#

I was hoping to start a convo with him to steer him in one of those directions

grand acorn
#

Ok, where should I be looking to apply the template @tacit cave ?

tacit cave
#

@grand acorn That depends on the template and what you expect to do with it

#

How about the next time you reply, just write the template out and where you expect it to show up in the UI. I.E. replacing the state, replacing the name, etc.

last heron
#

is there a way to have more than three cards wide by 2 tall show up on screen?

tacit cave
#

you can use the custom:layout-card to handle that

grand acorn
#

I am trying to set up an Entities card. I have them all listed but their states are report something different because they are different types of sensors. So I wanted to have them all show the same state when the door is closed.

Closed
{% else %}
Open
{% endif %}```
tacit cave
#

@grand acorn Ok, for that all you need to do is create a binary_sensor template.

binary_sensor:
- platform: template
  sensors:
    aeon_labs_zw_door:
      friendly_name: Door
      device_class: door
      value_template: "{{ states("sensor.aeon_labs_zw120_door_window_sensor_gen5_access_control") != "23" }}"
#

that will create a new binary_sensor that you can place anywhere in the UI. It will be translated from 'on' to Open, and 'off' to Closed. The icon will also update. This is all done through the device_class: door.

grand acorn
#

Thank you very much @tacit cave I will try that out!

last heron
#

im about 20+ years behind in coding and forgot alot. is someone willing to help me out and walk me through how to get appdaemon installed and to where i can start editing dashboards... so far ive got the add on in home assistant. but the instructions after that confuse the hell out of me...

#

i can screen share if that helps.

#

unless there is a sharp tools integration i dont know about...

I'm having a rather curious thing happening while developing a custom card, is this the correct channel for questions on this?

tacit cave
urban violet
#

I know there is now the media_player components in HA, but is there a way that I can stream a URL through Home Assistant Web? I have Reolink cameras and would like to be able to view previous recordings through HA. I have the media URLs, but how do I then trigger HA to stream them to my browser?

kindred hull
#

I've had a couple months with HA and got a feel for it. Want to take next step and explore wall mounted screens in the kitchen and possibly by each exit door. I don't know what all I want for sure but I know I want to be able to light up the screen when someone walks up. I am looking at Fully Kiosk as the first choice. Yay or nay - Alternatives welcome - PS I have two Fire 8 Tablets setting around

unique egret
#

is it possible to migrate stuff I made in the .yaml to be managed by the frontend later? Like helpers or w/e... Always get "The settings of this entity cannot be edited from the UI. Only entities set up from the UI are configurable from the UI."

kindred hull
#

@urban violet Are you cameras ONVIF compliant?

unique egret
#

For automations it seems like it does this kind of automatically after assigning the object an id number when you make a new automation (I think that's when it did that anyway) but idk about other stuff set up in the main config yaml

urban violet
#

@kindred hull according to Reolink, Yes

lavish elbow
#

Well the new update definetlely broke something, i dont know if it was zigbee2mqtt or new ha update, but on frontend -> group of light ON/OFF reports the brightness properly, so when it's off the brightness is 0%, but on individual devices, even if it's off the brightness stays the same.

kindred hull
#

I started with adding the cameras with the ONVIF integration. Straightforward. Then used the Entities it created but I don't record on camera so cannot comment on accessing the recording. The live feed and the picture entity will get you the ability to capture a still and save it locally based on any motion sensor avail from the camera - or where ever. IF you figure out how to get the the video I too would be interested. I have BI right now but wouldn't mind not having it

urban violet
#

@kindred hull Right now I have my cameras setup using the generic camera, and they work well. I also have NodeRed that hits the camera's onboard API every second to register motion alerts in HA. (It's a simple REST api). There is also an API that gives me all of the camera's motion alerts and video clips. It records all the motion locally on the camera. I just want to stream it through HA. hahaha... I built a input_select to give me all of the options of recordings available, but now I'm just stuck witht he streaming portion.

#

I have thought about using the downloader to see if I can download it to the media directory and then you could navigate to it and then view it, but I haven't tried that yet.

lavish elbow
#

The first lamp (which is a group) is the normal behavior

kindred hull
#

My Dahua have FTP and I think some other options to ship video files around too. The other piece I haven't worked on yet is how to offer all the clips in the web interface. If you get the files to the www folder they are available via webserver but I don't see a Clear winner for the UI. I had sort of thought about photos.google for a temp solution. I am told that BI has or will soon have the REST / MQTT access to the Alerts that it stores.

urban violet
#

Yeah these support FTP as well, but like you said, I don't have a clear winner either for the frontend piece.

kindred hull
urban violet
#

@kindred hull I have seen that, one thought that I had, (I run HA using a Docker Container), is that I would modify the Home Assistant container volumes, to add an additional file directory in my HA that I would then point to my NAS where I could store the FTP uploads. I just haven't had the time to experiment that far with it. Then you could point an additional Media Storage path there and then access your recordings that way

kindred hull
#

I kinda jumped the gun there. Maybe there is still room for a security camera provider to offer a fully REST accessible solution and an Integration for HA. However BI is like $60 too

mild veldt
#

@unique egret no, you can not import helpers

#

hmm, ok thanks

so say I want to show an entity in an entity-filter, based on a different entities state... is that possible?

for example, show a switch to toggle a lighting effect automation, but only if media is playing

Hey what language do people use to make custom cards? does anybody know of some documentation on where to start with that?

dark dirge

Are custom cards only usable if you're manually configuring your dashboard?

Yeah

Hmm, ok... I'll probably dive into that sooner or later though gotten by with the basic grouping functionality for now

Any way to remove the auto generated dashboard when using a custom dashboard in yaml mode?

# 
# Use yaml file for Dashboard views
lovelace:

  dashboards:
    lovelace-overview: # Needs to contain a hyphen (-)
      mode: yaml
      filename: dashboards/overview.yaml
      title: Overview
      icon: mdi:tools
      show_in_sidebar: true```

I THINK that "frontend" is the most appropriate channel for this. If not, I apologize.
Soooo, long time Homcenter & Homeseer user is converting to Home Assistant (115.6). Looking at precense detecion. And I can not really figure out why this person is flagged as "away". To me it looks like the user location is well within my home zone?

I see the blue location circle well within my orange home zone (Named Penthouse, which I assume is autodetected from my system name).

#frontend-archived is the GUI, creating Lovelace cards, views, dashboards, maybe some config stuff

DUly noted. Thanks!

uneven knoll
#

sorry about a horribly stupid question as I'm still quite new to HA.. using the mini graph card with multiple entities I can't based on the doc figure out what the one value visible in the graph is.. current average? average in a set timeframe? value for first entity listed? any way to view more than one?

latent tree
#

dumb question but does the order in yaml matter at all? like in the above code fromt echtony title could be above mode right and it would work the exact same?

dark dirge
#

Within a level of indentation, order doesn’t matter

uneven knoll
#

I thought that was per entity? with multiple entities still only one value is listed (not graph) in the card..

dark dirge
#

Oh, I see

uneven knoll
#

I'm probably just reading the doc wrong or something.. I get how to change min/max/avg etc per entity added.. that seems to work

dark dirge
#

I thought it was instantaneous and the first entity

#

Or maybe the last value based on the aggregation function

uneven knoll
#

that seems to be likely based on data.. I just couldn't find anything about it in the doc.. or how to change it if possible

dark dirge
#

I would think that the aggregation function would change the calculated value and the order would choose the entity, but I haven’t tried it

#

I flipped my two entities and it picked the first one

arctic jacinth
#

I'm trying to figure out how to hide some of my sensors from the default dashboard, where would be the correct channel for that folks?

uneven knoll
#

seems like you are correct regarding first entity.. and I guess no way to change it.. thanks for checking btw 🙂

mild veldt
#

@arctic jacinth you can disable entities from config > entities

flint hazel
#

I am not sure if this is the right channel (already asked on #integrations-archived, no answer yet). After I upgraded from 114 to 115 (ha core) my template sensors show after restart in unknown mode (entity card) but their real values are still available via node red, it seems that they are only not updated on front end until I run the Configuration->Server controls->Reload template sensors.
Is this a bug, a feature or something on my installation only?

#

is their a way to make a card in lovelace that shows specific properties of an entity? I have lights flashed with Tasmota and the one of the properties of that entity is Signal Strength and AP that it is joined. I want to have a card that shows me the signal strength of all my lights wifi. I tried just doing the entity id followed by a dot and the property but that didn't work.

How does Lovelace determine which detail chart a sensor should use? I have a numeric (float, 2 decimals) sensor. I only see the bar chart if I press the sensor to see details. I would expect to see a line chart like I do for others

#

Any help is highly appreciated

shell torrent
#

is it possible to change the time and number formats in the GUI? It always uses "." as decimal point, no thousands separator and shows time in "3:00 PM". Swedish formatting would be ",", " " and 15:00

polar kelp
#

It goes by the language you set in your profile settings in the UI.

upper tulip
#

If I set up an input boolean as a helper in the UI, how can I set it so that the state of the input boolean is on at start up of home asssistant or would I need to configure in yaml?

polar kelp
#

You can make an automation to set it when Home Assistant starts.

upper tulip
#

Ah great thanks!

mild veldt
#

@polar kelp that must be an oversight in the helpers UI, we should have that as a field

halcyon mulch
#

What is the best way of changing the theme? If I change the theme in the UI it only changes for that user and device.
Do I have to use an automation to set it on startup?

dark dirge
#

profile data is stored locally and needs to be set per device or when you clear local data. The default theme is "backend selected", so if you want to set it for everyone, then yes, an automation would be the way to do it

halcyon mulch
#

Cool thanks!

#

Btw, can I also set the primary and accent colors in the automations?

vapid field
polar kelp
#

@mild veldt Nah, there's backend support missing. You can set the initial value to true or false fine, but you cannot unset it.

quasi tinsel
#

I choosed to edit the main page of lovelace, can i make the system take control over it again? (I want a new page where i customize by my own)

polar kelp
#

And you can't just leave it out, because that will be interpreted as "leave as is".

Good evening gurus! Im trying to build my first card. and for a test I want to call a script with parameters. script:

Im trying to use: this.hass.callService('script', 'turn_on', {entity_id: 'script.systemair_set_heatlvl', heatlvl: '3', vent_unit: 'systemair8a'});

#

in the js-script but get an error.

Failed to call service script/turn_on. extra keys not allowed @ data['heatlvl']

Hi,

I have a problem with the frontend (i think). I use my HomeAssistant behind a reverse proxy, hosted on https://ha.mydomain.ca. This DNS entry is a CNAME record pointing to a duckdns record for solving the dynamic ip problem. The duckdns domain is mydomain.duckdns.org.

In my firefox browser, browsing to https://ha.mydomain.ca, when trying to log in, some requests are blocked by µblock (in-browser add block) because they are sent to mydomain.duckdns.org, instead of ha.mydomain.ca.

I don't think this should be the case. I think that all requests should be sent to the Host, not its resolved address.

Here is a screenshot of µblock log

Hello -- I'm having some massive issues dealing with my frontend on HA. I have made a new default dashboard, but for some reason even though Ive gotten the standard trashboard removed on my admin side, my second user is pushed to the trashboard as their main one.

dark dirge
#

Just the saw the "repo archived" messages and investigated. Thanks for the great work, @clever ore !

polar kelp
#

@crimson idol script.turn_on can't take variables, you want callService('script', 'systemair_set_heatlvl', {heatlvl: ....

#

@blissful geyser Yep, it's a per user and per device setting.

blissful geyser
#

so how can I make it so that my design I'm spending hours on is the global design

polar kelp
#

Make it on the default dashboard.

blissful geyser
#

When I try to it tells me that if I want to modify it I need to make a new one and set it as default, unless I'm mistaken

polar kelp
#

Pro tip: Open the RAW editor, copy, open the other RAW editor, paste.

#

Do you have a yaml dashboard setting or something?

blissful geyser
#

Uh I'm not sure. TBH i'm super new to all of this. I have ten thousand janky looking badges smashed onto my panel

#

I didnt select the "start from empty" option at first and im heavily regretting it lol

#

Is there a way to retroactively delete it all and start from scratch?

#

Or at least mass remove the 500 badges that 99% of people would never want spamming their dashboard

I've got an issue with displaying a 7-digit number within the mini-graph-card.
I want to have it formatted like 12.345.678 and I managed to do that using a value-template:
"{{ '{0:.0f}'.format(states.sensor.NameGoesHere.state | float).replace('', '.')}}"
I can play around with the decimal-option of the mini-graph-card but all what that is showing is the first 4. digits and than its just zeros: 12.340000000
Any guesses ? 🙂

shell torrent
#

I have kind of the same issue with another replace template where I want a space as thousands limiter which makes 12123 become 12 instead of 12 123 (as we format thousands in Sweden) , so I guess in our ambition to change the output format, we also transform the actual value. in your case from 12345.678 to 12.340000.

just a few hours ago I was trying to find out how to make HA format numbers and time according to region formats automatically https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/460846676358332417/763437768050475100. I guess that would solve both our issues

Previously when creating a Person, you’d get a drop down to associate it with a User. In 116 that is gone. Is it not possible to associate a person and an existing user now? Is it a bug?

#

If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it-- I grabbed "battery-state-card" and some other cards via HACS but it none of them (except the weather card) are showing up when I try to add them to my dashboard...

dark dirge
#

Do they show up in configuration -> Lovelace & Dashboards -> Resources?

blissful geyser
#

@dark dirge Thanks for the quick reply man -- yes they do.

dark dirge
#

did you add them there? Or did HACS?

#

oh, and most of the time custom cards will have to be added manually

#

some will show up in the list, but I think most don't

blissful geyser
#

I added them via the HASC dashboard. The Weather one ended up properly plopping into my UI but the battery one, etc. did not and I'm nowhere near competent enough to sort that out lol

#

While you're here though, do you mind if I ask one more question?

#

to hopefully push me down the right path and allow me to work on this tongiht

#

I am currently using Lovelace + the main dark IOS HASC theme. I have no ability to change the sizes and ratios of the cards, however. It would be great to find out how to make "sections" like in the above picture. I think I could have cleaner UI that way.

#

appreciate you man.

dark dirge
#

that looks like a layout card

blissful geyser
#

Ok thank you.

#

So with all of these HASC Frontend cards, I need to manually write them into my raw editor?

dark dirge
#

HACS

#

yes

blissful geyser
#

TY.

#

Is there some sort of tutorial online that explains it?

dark dirge
#

cards usually come with docs

blissful geyser
#

They do but it doesnt really make sense to me -- which is why I'd love some sort of tutorial or getting started video about the raw editing.

#

Most videos I have found that are "getting started" are just going over how to insert the SD card along with affiliate links to 8gb SD cards.

g'day everyone. After updating to 0.116 I get this error on my main lovelace page:
Unknown type encountered: horizontal-stack

#

I saw that some breaking change regarding custom cards but this suprised me.

#

Might the error be just because I do have custom cards on the same page but the error cant be more specific?

#

Nevermind, found it. Something had happend to the yaml. Title and icon of the lovelace page had broken.

smoky depot
#

when in doubt, blame the person you see in the mirror is what I always tell myself

brisk osprey
#

@smoky depot Absolutely, but this time it wasnt me. I only pushed the update button, and then it broke. Easy to fix though.

#

Canary cam shows as broken image on dashboard...

shell torrent
#

@formal tide I think a lot of users are devastated of that - and understands and respect the decision at the same time.
The question now is how to best handle feature requests and/or PRs to achieve the most requested features. For me it is "compact mode", and "disable header", but pretty soon I realize it's more than that.
It's the ability to configure a stripped down default user where default is "only access to the most basic dahsboard". And the possibility to configure the options for several users at the same time.
So I think it comes down to two separate things:

  1. Users. The need for handling users in groups, including access and layout
  2. The "consumer approach" where one assumes that the default is a no rights user with no access to anything instead of the opposite.
#

Anyway, it's going to be interesting to follow the development!

@smoky current the abandonment of the development of the custom component "custom header" makes you lose functions that added very important in my opinion

smoky current

Same for me. At least it still works for me in the meantime. Hoping they add some of the more basic features to the default frontend

@smoky current it doesn't work well for me because even inserting it manually gives me problems with the 0.116 version of Home Assistant

My setup was pretty simple. Just compact mode and then a few exceptions based on the user.

I’m trying to make a more compact dashboard for my 7” touch screen. I’m moving some sensors to badges as they are quite compact. But then the view is not wide enough.

Can you have full width and badges somehow?

hello.. I'm using the lovelace in yaml mode and in the ui-lovelace.yaml I'm pointing at some dashboard using the - !include /config/lovelace/home.yaml and they won't display.. only the Overview is displayed correctly.. anyone had the same issue?

nimble kelp

I can't seem to add any HACS lovelace custom card.
Even though they are already added to HACS.
And they already exist at the lovelace dashboard resources. 😅

holy cow. many thanks.

#

do you mean - !include /config/lovelace/home.yaml must be !include /config/lovelace/home.yaml ?

#

or do you mean to remove - from the resources: in the config.yaml?

#

ah you mean - type: custom:weather-card must be type: custom:weather-card

polar kelp
#

That answer wasn't for you.

#

But if it works anyway; great!

naive tulip

ahhh 🙂

#

it didn't worked ahah 🙂

@naive tulip if you have a folder under the root config called lovelace, then it should be:

Hi, can I use, in a lovelace entity card, one sensor's attribute as secondary info?

@polar kelp That works great! Will this cause any future (117) problems? 🤪

I need to be able to change the header of my frontend, add buttons to decrease the size, change the colors and transparency, what can I do?

I am having a heck of a time getting the cards from HACS to work. I think I am missing a step. I have copied the .js files under the www folder and they where installed under the www\community folder. I edit lovelace and do not see the option for the cards. what am I missing???

mild veldt
#

@amber patio if you're using HACS you shouldn't be manually moving any files

amber patio
#

That was my thought also. so I copied them.... So how do I use them then?

mild veldt
celest jackal

so is it possible to modify the frontend without custom component?

In the entity card.

Is there an event that gets fired when the UI is updated?

there's no entity_picture option in any card afaik, only icons - you need to set the picture to the entity itself

mild veldt
#

this But also I believe only icons are displayed for the entity card

So I have gone thru both doc's and still missing it. The code that works is

this does not work

I'm having an issue loading a webpage (showing public transport to/from work status) in an Iframe.. seems that 'X-Frame-Options' is set to 'sameorigin'
I understand this is a safety feature and there is no real simple way to bypass it.
I could contact them asking to enable it, but I don't think they will..
What would you guys suggest as the next best thing ?

mild veldt
#

No good options. Ideally they have am API, but that's unlikely. Could write a webscraper but those are prone to break and your success may be limited

formal tide
#

most transport pages get their routes, times & stations via a simple js api command though, maybe you don'teven need more than these informations. check your browsers dev tools (network resources)

errant birch
#

extra level of difficulty is I'm trying to do this on a kiosk I have for HA running on porteus kiosk, so not much wiggle room when it comes to installing extra stuff

#

Mine's not really a public transport site, but a site that shows a map and the location of the company bus that drives a certain route..
Will see what I can get, and if all else fails, I'll just use a link to the site outside of HA. might be the easiest "solution"

#

thanks for the suggestions 😉

#

hmmm, I thought there was an option to have a view, when selected, to link to an outside url
Seems I was wrong 😆

formal tide
#

just place a .html with the link in /config/www and load that in a iframe

Hey Guys, is there anyway to disable a button on the UI for like 10-15 seconds? I have a button that I want to prevent multiple clicks by accident, so when clicked, disabled for 15 seconds before you can change the state again. Cheers

#

there's no entity_picture option in any card afaik, only icons - you need to set the picture to the entity itself
@formal tide I tried also in the customize section of the configuration file, with both entity_picture and icon, same result.

formal tide
#

show relevant yaml parts

keen belfry
# 
customize:
  sensor.ligne_t2_2:
    entity_picture: /local/t2.png
#

And t2.png file is in /root/config/www

formal tide
#

seems good, maybe sensors only accept icons 🤷‍♂️

keen belfry
#

Oh, maybe. Did not think about that.

#

If I use the entity_picture icon in the card, then it works but only with mdi icons

formal tide
#

tried setting icon: fake ? maybe then the picture shows up

wheat current
#

AFAIK images only work in glance card

keen belfry
#

You mean that we cannot customize the icon of a sensor in any other card than the glance one? Or that only glance card accepts local images but not as icon?

#

tried setting icon: fake ? maybe then the picture shows up
@formal tide You mean justicon: fake? Than does not show anything.

formal tide
#

works fine for me with a device_tracker entity in entity card

wheat current
#

oh, cool, it didnt in the past

keen belfry
#

Would you please test with a sensor @formal tide? Just to ensure that sensors do not allow that.

formal tide
#

ok it should definitely work, tried sensor aswell as binary_sensor

#

@keen belfry you do something wrong in your config

#

What card would you use to just display an icon (no entity) and letting tap_action open the more-info page?

#

so I can call the service browser_mod.popup on tap_action

polar kelp
#

A button card with any entity (I usually pick sun.sun).

full sand
#

Hey @polar kelp amazing work on the cards. I'm using browser mod (button) next to a media player to open my remote card in popup, it's awesome.
I found out that I could use the button card without an entity though.
Right now I'm looking at using the lovelace layout card to get the media_player using 2/3rd of the horizontal stack card and the button 1/3rd.
So heavily inspired by your cards 🙂

#

Didn't column_width: [30%, 60%] work?

full sand
#

It's giving me this error: incomplete explicit mapping pair; a key node is missed; or followed by a non-tabulated empty line at line 3, column 27: column_width: column_width: [60%, 30%] ^

#

nevermind

#

So yes, that worked 🙂 thanks

tough shoal
#

I just did an upgrade of hass and now only my yaml files complain about: "Unknown type encountered: horizontal-stack"

wheat current
#

Your config is not valid

tough shoal
#

Exactly the same view in a lovelace dashboard without yaml is working.

#

But exactly the same.

wheat current
#

type: horizontal-stack is not valid as a view: config

#

so remove that line

tough shoal
#

Ah, this is new?

honest moon
#

Anyone else notice the release notes on the Supervisor dashboard always point to the blog of the last major release instead I f the actual release notes? Is that intentional?

wheat current
#

has never been valid, but it didn't complain before

tough shoal
#

Thank you so much @wheat current

wheat current
#

It's intentional @honest moon We cant know

honest moon
#

What about pointing it to the git. release page? It would be much more helpful to find change

wheat current
#

Sure, but git can be scary 😉

#

and will only work if you update to every release

honest moon
#

True

#

But Halloween is coming up...

#

👻

wheat current
#

If you join the dev channel, it points to github

honest moon
#

The git releases have links to the blog

#

you’d just need to read the new version and write the URL directly to it

keen belfry
#

@keen belfry you do something wrong in your config
@formal tide Probably but I can't see what. Here is my config file (fresh install with only these sensors added):

default_config:
tts:
  - platform: google_translate
group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
sensor: !include sensor.yaml
#

And here is my sensor.yaml:

- platform: rest
  name: ligne_t2_2
  json_attributes_path: "$.result.schedules.[1]"
  json_attributes:
    - message
    - destination
  resource: https://api-ratp.pierre-grimaud.fr/v4/schedules/buses/31/pont+cardinet/R/
  value_template: '{{ value_json["result"]["schedules"][1]["message"] }}'
#

And here is what I put in my card:

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.ligne_t2_2
    name: Premier passage
    icon: /local/t2.png
    secondary_info:
      attribute: destination
serene walrus
#

Is there a way to display entitie attributes in lets say a glance element? Or do we need to create a template sensor to read the value?

mild veldt
#

In glance, template sensor

#

In entities row, it is an option

serene walrus
#

and the custom component "Attributes" any good?

#

or overkill?

Hey there. I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction in regards to using 'card-mod' to change the transparancy of the map marker icon. At the moment there is a white background within the circle which I want to remove

#

How can I make a switch on my dashboard that controls all my lights? if any lights are on, the toggle should be on, turning it off/on should turn off/on all lights

#

I found a service which does what I want, but I don't know how to integrated this into a switch

  • service: light.turn_on
    entity_id: all
polar kelp
dusk magnet
#

Is there a way to make a group that automatically contains all entities classified as a light? Otherwise I will have to edit this every time I add new lights

polar kelp
#

You could also use a template switch, but that's harder.

#

Then just set your service as turn_on, a similar one for turn_off and some clever template for value_template.

dusk magnet
#

Thanks, I'll take a look.

polar kelp
#

{{ states.light | selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'on') | list | length > 0 }}

#

Or maybe {{ states.light | selectattr('state', '==', 'on') | selectattr('entity_id', '!=', 'light.your_template_light_entity_id') | list | length > 0 }} to avoid circular references.

dusk magnet
#

I think I am doing something similar (maybe we found the same thread :p ) and with your comment on circular references I think is related to the issue I am having now where it works but the toggle turns back on after a second turning all lights off since it sees itself as a light? not sure...

polar kelp
#

Could be.

#

Though I don't think we found the same thread 😉

dusk magnet
#

Ah, well your first template was exactly the same as something I found online after I learned about the light template you shared.

#

I got it working with this template, for anyone else trying to achieve the same thing:

# 
light:
  - platform: template
    lights:
      all_lights:
        friendly_name: "All Lights"
        value_template: >
            {% set domain = 'light' %}
            {% set state = 'on' %}
            {{ states[domain] | selectattr('state','eq', state) | selectattr('entity_id', '!=', 'light.all_lights') | list | count > 0 }}
        turn_on:
          service: light.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: all
        turn_off:
          service: light.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: all

Is there a way to stretch an image entity? I could make the image bigger in general but I was wondering if using style I can just stretch it in the vertical direction

    left: 10%
    top: 50%
    width: 20%
  action: none ```
smoky depot
#

@latent tree not sure what you are using but if it accepts all css you can use object-fit: cover

latent tree
#

I put that in after the width, but it didn't seem to make any difference. this is an entity in a picture-element card

#

tomorrow is bad weather so I might aswell

smoky depot
#

@hallow mango if you have a question, ask it.

hallow mango
#

it says I can use "any" entity as the "placeholder" for floorplan, but recommends using an mqtt binary_sensor... except I don't do anything with mqtt

#

so I wanted to use... anything else lol

#

used a template binary_sensor instead, with a value... which just showed as a switch in my entity row

#

I also can't figure out how to open the floorplan panel

smoky depot
#

when i see the last time something has been updated has been multiple years I tend to drift towards something more maintained lol

hallow mango
#

ah, I guess not

#

I didn't even look at dates lol just first thing that came up googling

#

I actually started with "map", and then "blueprint" when that didn't work out 😅

#

led me to "floorplan", and you know the rest lol

I’ve got an odd behavior after upgrading to HA 0.116. I access Lovelace through Chrome and have a custom ui-lovelace.yaml file. When I click on the bookmark which takes me to the Lovelace interface, six cards are missing. I then “Refresh” the interface with the three-dot menu in the upper right and the cards come back and everything looks and works great. It is a minor inconvenience but in my years of using HA I have never experienced this issue. I hunted through the forum and searched on the web looking for an answer but no luck, so I am asking here. Andy advice?

#

(by the way, six cards are missing, but ~10 are present, so I am not looking at a blank page when I go to the bookmark)

smoky depot
#

what cards and have you cleared your browser cache?

dawn breach
#

The cards that are missing are three vertical-stack-incard, one mini-media-player, and two rpi-monitor-card. And I am embarrassed to admit the clearing the cache didn't occur to me.... perhaps because several other cards are there and the Refresh solved it and that threw me off. But let me try that.

#

Clearing the cache did not solve it. However for grins let me quit the browser, which will take me out of this chat, and see if that plus the cache clearing works. I'll be back in a moment.

smoky depot
#

well the only card out of that list I use is the mini media and that works fine for me, assuming you been keeping these cards up to date it's likely a cache issue

dawn breach
#

OK, I gave clearing the cache a solid go and no luck. I still need to hit the Refresh buttons to get the cards.

#

Yes, I keep the cards up to date.

smoky depot
#

did you install these via HACS?

dawn breach
#

Yes

smoky depot
#

you could copy your card yaml and try and reinstall them to see if that helps.

dawn breach
#

That's a good suggestion, I will give that a try. Admittedly, my wife just got out of the spa and it is now dinner time so I will have to try this later. But I appreciate the suggestion.

Hi folks! I'm trying to get this custom button that fires a script to change its background color based on the state of an entity. But, I'm not having any luck and not getting any errors

entity: script.1590892241756
icon: 'mdi:led-strip-variant'
styles:
  card:
    - background-color: |
        [[[
          if (states['light.hue_led_strip'].state == 'off')
            return "black";
          return "yellow";
        ]]]
type: 'custom:button-card'
#

Can anyone please set me straight? 🙂

dark dirge
#

maybe you need an "else"?

#

I always use "else", and it looks like it's in most/all of the examples

unreal lodge
#

hmm yes, good point

#

perhaps you've found the first issue but not the last one 😄

dark dirge
#

I do what I can

unreal lodge
#

I could probably just show the state with a label template, but.. trying to get cute

#

and dabbling into fancy buttons in anticipation of laying out a tablet dashboard

dark dirge
#

Custom button card can do amazing things, and I've yet to find a bug

#

if it says that it should work in the docs, I'll bet it'll work

unreal lodge
#

I think I'm botching the states bit in some way

#

there wasn't an example that was exactly what I'm doing... most of them were about numeric states, like > 60, which shouldn't be very different

dark dirge
#

here's an example from my config:

unreal lodge
#

but, do not underestimate my ability to mess stuff up

dark dirge
# 
    styles:
      icon:
        - color: >
            [[[
              if (entity.state === variables.normal) return "green";
              else return "red";
            ]]]
#

better example:

# 
    styles:
      icon:
        - color: >
            [[[
              if (states['sensor.armed_status'].state == variables.armed_state) return "green";
              else return "#696969";
            ]]]
#

maybe "|" isn't good for a multi-line template

unreal lodge
#

I was just thinking that! but in my ui in autocorrects it to that?!

#

once I save it changes to |

dark dirge
#

dunno

#

the Lovelace editor?

unreal lodge
#

yes, I am using the GUI (manual card)

#

well, you have to use code editor with custom button

#

unreal lodge
#

haha yeah... you power users.

dark dirge
#

Without any evidence to the contrary, I conclude that I dreamed up the post and my comment about it. I'm sure that the multi-line options are well-documented out on the web somewhere

I only saw the "Custom element doesn't exist" once or twice. However, now it's gone and none of my add-ons are showing up in the lovelace.

smoky depot
#

add-ons? you mean cards?

ruby geode
#

Yes. sorry

smoky depot
#

there is a diffrence

#

what cards are these?

ruby geode
#

Custom button card

smoky depot
#

not entirely sure what the changes from 115 to 116 was but for me the weather card wouldn't show till after I updated it so it's possible some cards won't show till whatever change that is needed gets addressed

#

well that card for sure works in 116, i know 90% of my UI is that one lol

silly dev's.. trix are for kids

How would I add buttons on top of an entities card? The button entity row card is no longer maintained so I think I have to find another way.

smoky depot
#

there's that addon word again..

ruby geode
#

What's it categorized as

#

a card?

smoky depot
#

yes

ruby geode
#

Lol ok

#

Is it possible to put buttons on top of other cards?

dark dirge
#

I don’t think so. But you can put almost anything in a button card

smoky depot
#

there is a vertical stack in card

#

that does that

#

makes multiple cards look like one card, someone was just mentioning it not working earlier tho lol

dark dirge
#

True. I was thinking overlaid on top of, but that makes more sense 🙂

there's a lovelace plugin which allows making colourful square buttons in entity-row, does anyone remember its name? (its not button-entity-row)

cedar girder
#

i remember seeing it on screenshots, nice, square and colourful buttons but cannot find it now

smoky depot
#

@cedar girder alot of custom cards allow for many customizations, keep that in mind when seeing pictures of other people's dashboards. The card itself doesn't provide that visual, the person who puts the time into customizing it did.

The media browser is awesome, but it only works on my chromecast devices for example. When i try and watch a .avi file on my PC via the sidebar media browser in Chrome it loads the player but nothing happens. Like, the chrome video player shows up but its small and has the loading animation, which disappears after one rotation tho. Did i do something wrong?
Edit: using HA Docker, mounted the folder where my cameras save their recordings at into /media/camera (readonly because writing should not be needed, right?). They all save in .avi files

#

It also does not request anything as it seems, the network tab in the dev tools does not show any video or so being requested. And i dont think that it tries to stream it thru websocket, right? 😄

So I'm having a weird issue where, on one page of my Lovelace dashboard, about 75% of the time, only the first two cards render. When it fails, it always stops after the second card (well, depending on how you count. The first card is several nested cards (a few vertical-stack-in-cards within a horizontal-stack)). I've checked the raw config but I'm not seeing anything invalid, and like I said, it works a quarter of the time. I can always get the rest of the cards to come up by entering "Edit Dashboard" mode.

#

It's only on the first page. The last card rendered is the glance card that starts with switch.bathroom_light

Is it possible to change left nav bar texts? For example changing Logbook -> Changelog

whole heron
#

or how to add more than one entity

delicate karma
#

A conditional row is just one row

#

and it's just whatever the row config would be if it weren't in a conditional row

#

So if you need several rows, you'll have to add several conditional rows. Or, do it in a conditional card and nest it all within a vertical-stack-in-card or something.

#

@whole heron so here's an example

entities:
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: input_boolean.home_occupied
        state: on
    row:
      entity: light.living_room_overhead_light```

Hi folks, can UI plebians like me use templates for custom:button-cards? It's working well for styles but I'm having some issues with the template items (like showing the entity name) and I'm not sure if it's a syntax error or a limitation.

You'll have to share more information than that to get an answer.

Start by sharing your config and the error you're getting.

I'm on mobile and copying code from my raw config is not going well so I shall inquire later. Thank you. 🙂

whole heron
#

thanks @delicate karma maybe I need to be a bit more precise what I want to do

#

the way I did this is no longer working, now I play arount with conditional inside the entity card and the entity-filter but I fail to add more than 1 entity

#

maybe I have to change to a custom layout card

delicate karma
#

Yeah, the conditional in the entities card is just a conditional row, so you would have to add multiple conditional rows

whole heron
#

that would bloat the file

#

I think - type: conditional isthe way to go and a custom layout card

#

maybe auto-entities with a filter for a group

I'm trying to organize my entities card containing my lights, by adding labels. I'd love to have a toggle behind the label to switch all the lights between it and the next label. Is that possible?
@remote sinew I'm trying to work around this by having multiple entity-cards (one per room/area) and setting 'show_header_toggle: true'. But the header toggle doesn't show up on the cards

remote sinew
#

hmm, has to do with there only being custom entities in the card apparently

full sand
#

Do I lose my custom header integration when updating to 0.116 or is it not yet 'depreciated'?

remote sinew
#

Hmm, slightly different, but that could certainly work

#

I assume that's a custom party combined with a light group or something?

full sand
#

@remote sinew defined groups and custom cards yes

#

There's also a custom card to increase and decrease brightness with a slider in there

remote sinew
#

thanks @full sand had actually found it after Googling based on your screenshot

#

have it working, with custom:fold-entity-row

#

Just can't seem to override the name displayed on the fold-row, do you have that working?

full sand
#

You can define the name under configuration > entities > group entity

remote sinew
#

I'm using light groups defined in configuration.yaml. As you can see on the screenshot, I can override the UI name with 'name: ' for the entity, just doesn't seem to work for the fold-entity-row

full sand
#

Maybe like this?

type: custom:fold-entity-row
head:
  label: All Lights
#

lose the 'name', add the 'label' under head

remote sinew
#

Doesn't work. Also can't seem to override the icon

full sand
#

You can always change the name of your group in configuration.yaml

remote sinew
#

I know. But there are three light groups that for UI purposes I want to name 'All lights', so that won't work because the names would be duplicate. That's why I want to override the name in lovelace

full sand
#

Alright, I understand, @polar kelp will know 👌

polar kelp
#

All things that apply to the head row, such as entity, name, type, should go under head:

#

However, since you have an entity: specified at the top level, and that entity is a group (light group in this case) all other settings are overridden.

#

That's why you're not getting a section row as the head, and also the entities: you have specified are ignored and replaced with the members of your light group.

@full sand CH will mostly still work in 0.116, but be aware there may be a bug that affects performance and it may require some css tweaking depending on your setup.

@plucky silo I am working on that now. Here's my latest effort. It's for my light called light.map. You need lots of custom card (popup and button), and the browser_mod integration.

Hi. I have read https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod/wiki/Theme-cookbook a few times now, and I think I'm getting there.
But one thing I can't find is the ability to control the appearance per user.
I have several wall mounted old cell phones as cameras/dashboards and I don't want any header at all for them. But compact header for all other users.
Like "show no header at all for user A, B and D, but show compact header for user C".
Is there a solution for that yet?

unreal lodge
#

one "lame" solution I have is to use a different default dashboard for those devices

#

oh hmm sorry.... I guess you'd need different users for those devices?

shell torrent
#

yep, I use separate users for them

#

so well, separate dashboards for each user/dashboard/phone would work, but it's a lot of config at each change 🙂

dark dirge
#

yeah, it's not ideal

#

You can use "device ID", which is browser-specific, but there's no "else"

#

I use a state-switch card with users now

shell torrent
#

ok. just had a look at that actually

#

maybe I need to re-think my approach a bit post-CH

dark dirge
#

I wanted to differentiate between mobile and desktop and the best that I could find was different users

#

which isn't that big of a deal because users don't mean much to HA (yet)

shell torrent
#

I think I'll go for the separate dashboard per user/phone approach anyway. As long as all phones have the same config it's really just copy-paste. But then there's the wifey's dashboard. And the kids.
Hmm.. I don't think I have realized how much CH have meant for my setup and easy admin 😄

dark dirge
#

"Archived" just means "fork and maintain me!"

If anyone attempts, I wish you luck and I'm sorry...

There's a fair bit of hacky duct tape stuff in there

But I will also say, make separate smaller projects with related features

unreal lodge
#

Lots of people love your work so you shouldn't be apologetic!

clever ore
#

Don't make one project with every feature, that was a big mistake

dark dirge
#

I worry about custom button card for that. I use that heavily, and it feels like it does everything

#

it doesn't radically affect the interface, though

shell torrent
#

And maykar, again, please don't apologize. You should be very proud of what you made. I think you filled an empty space with CH. I often feel HA still is very much for the techie-admins.
CH made it easy to customize the look for other family members phones and other more user friendly devices. And I hope most features will end up as native features in HA sooner or later.

unreal lodge
#

speaking of... does anyone on now know if UI mode plebians can use templates in custom:button-card templates? e.g. label: '[[[ return entity.entity_id ]]]'

#

I am trying to do so but the templates aren't rendering

dark dirge
#

I have a semicolon at the end of all my return statements. Don't know if that matters

#

I don't have anywhere that I return a variable, either. but I would expect it to work

unreal lodge
#

hmm. do you mean colon after return, like this? label: '[[[ return: entity.entity_id ]]]'

#

(if so, no dice)

mild veldt
#

@unreal lodge yes you can use templates regardless of mode of UI control

unreal lodge
#

hmm so my template just sucks 😆

#

it seems like the entity isn't getting to the popup card

#

(although there is grave risk of me mis-diagnosing)

dark dirge
#

no, a semicolon, not a colon, and after the statement, not in the middle 🙂

#

I don't know that it matters, but here's one of mine:

# 
                    name: >
                      [[[
                        if (states['binary_sensor.updater'].state === 'off') return "Current";
                        else return "Updates";
                      ]]]
unreal lodge
#

I really don't know what's wrong with me. 🤦 I read "colon" and thought... that doesn't make sense, haha

#

but anyways, I tried this, to no avail

This may be a very basic question but I have not been able to find the answer in my searching. Is there a way to group entities together easily (preferably in the GUI) so I can use a button control them? I was on the group integration page but I cannot figure out how to implement this.

you can't create a group from the UI

Then just only put the group on an entities or button card if you make a group.

i put the files, installed the card, created the card, added the 3 bits there and i put the required yaml, components and see the card but no recently added

dark dirge
#

ok, that's a lot more than you mentioned above 🙂

#

what does the state say for sensor.plex_recently_added in devtools -> States?

#

and checked your config?

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

Command '~check' was invoked by: RobC

tghere is no custom lovelace folder or ui-lovelace.yaml are they not there

curious if anyone has good ideas for how to best present HA on Nvidia Shield.. Need to be able to zoom out from the standard view on HA app or Wallpanel which I tested.. Gamestream from a PC works with resolution options, but that PC can't do WOL as it's wireless.. and depending on turning a desktop computer on to show a HA desktop isn't ideal.. not https as it's only accessed through Wireguard..

so i keep getting the secret is not defined, sensor:

#

when i turn lights on or off via alexa it does not update on the front end. i have alexa integrated into ha. can someone point me in a direction to try and fix that?

obsidian lotus
#

@dark dirge what more do you need from me? Ive uploaded the logs, the configurations, ive put the files in places and created the directories

dark dirge
#

Are you using Nabu Casa, or did you integrate manually?

last heron
#

nabu casa

#

oh sorry didnt see mighty goats reply

dark dirge
#

it should "just work"

#

what if you manually toggle the lights? Do you see the state change in devtools -> States?

last heron
#

yes

dark dirge
#

how are you displaying the state of the entity in Lovelace? It's just a problem with the frontend displaying the wrong staet?

last heron
#

oh so its just the one light that doesnt update. i think i just figured it out myself...

dark dirge
#

good. otherwise that would be a weird one 🙂

last heron
#

alexa is controlling the smartthings switch and ha is looking at the ha switch

dark dirge
#

get off of SmartThings and <profit!>

last heron
#

i would but i have door sensors i want to use in a home made alarm system integrated with alexa guard...

#

the alexa guard parts working perfectly. i just cant figure out how to get the rest of it to work.

dark dirge
#

I can arm my Echos/Dots with Alexa Guard, but only for audio (glass breaking, etc.)

last heron
#

thats what im meaning. i can do that from the front end now.

#

but i want to set up an alarm to when i set that it also sets say another alarm that monitors the door/ window contact sensors and notifies me if any are opened.

dark dirge
#

I have HA linked to my Elk alarm

#

and I use them in tandem

last heron
#

do you have to set alexa and your elk alarm seperatly?

#

or do they arm at the sam time

dark dirge
#

yes, they don't know anything about each other

#

HA links them together

last heron
#

please help me do that

#

thats what i want to do. but i gotta custom code an alarm to use the smartthings sensors and notify me if any are open.

#

but i have no idea where to go or where to start about making an alarm that will work. ive tried every how to i can find and none work like they should.

dark dirge
#

it's just automations

# 
- alias: Alarm triggered
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.area_001
      to: 'triggered'
  action:
    - data:
        entity_id:
          - group.foyer
          - group.lr
          - group.dr
          - group.kit
          - group.fr
      service: homeassistant.turn_on
# 
- alias: Alarm notifications
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id:
        - sensor.zone_lr_left_win
        - sensor.zone_lr_right_win
        - sensor.zone_lr_corner_win
      to: 'Violated'
  action:
    - service: script.notify_iphone_urgent
      data:
        title: 'Alarm Zone Violated'
        message: "Zone: {{ trigger.to_state.name }} Violated"
#

etc

#

depends on what options you have with the integrations you're using

obsidian lotus
#

is there a location for the ssl configuration for the reverse proxy, i need to add another port besides 8123

#

or is there a way to add ports for proxy, i just dont see any config for the reverse proxy

last heron
#

@dark dirge so what your saying is i just need the alexa alarm and the rest i can do in automations?

dark dirge
#

maybe. I don't know exactly what you're doing

last heron
#

i have the alarm panel in ha that activates and deactivates alexa guard. i want to somehow set it up so when i activate alexa guard it activates something to 'watch' the door/window sensors. best way i can think to explain it is two seperate alarms activated and deactivated by one alarm control panel.

#

i probably should just get the second alarm system working first and then worry about tying the two together....

last heron
#

that should work right?

dark dirge
#

That’s a lot to read on my phone. In the end, you have entities with states and you can trigger on state changes and do things. It’s as simple as that

last heron
#

since they are automations should i post that in automations?

dark dirge
#

Yes

#

Going to bed

for some reason my custom slider entity stopped working..

UI editor is not supported for this config:
The value of "entities.0" is not supported by the UI editor, we support "Object<{entity,name,icon,image,secondary_info,format,state_color,tap_action,hold_action,double_tap_action}> | string | Object<{type,name,action_name,tap_action,hold_action,double_tap_action}> | Object<{type,view,dashboard,name,icon,hide_if_unavailable}> | Object<{type,row,conditions}> | Object<{type,style}> | Object<{type,label}> | Object<{type,url,name,icon}> | Object<{type,entities}> | Object<{type,entity,attribute,prefix,suffix,name}> | Object<{type,name,service,icon,action_name,service_data}>" but received "{"entity":"light.woonkamer","name":"Woonkamer","toggle":true,"type":"custom:slider-entity-row"}".You can still edit your config in yaml.```

How do you show attributes of a sensor in lovelace?

#

context: i'm using "sensor.next_launch" and i want to show the date and stream link which are attributes

mild veldt
#

@opal jay I believe a fix was put in for that, but that error is just in reference to the UI editor. Does not impact using it, just editing it

opal jay
#

it does impact using it for me

#

i cant use them now

#

they wont show up

mild veldt
#

Well the error you put here is not in reference to anything but the UI editor

#

Check your browser console for any errors related to rendering

#

@serene walrus I think the markdown card would probably be your best option for adding multiple things as you could put in an anchor tag for the link to make it clickable

browser console ?

my recently added plex card is not showing up in the developer tool states. what am i doing wrong ?

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

Command '~check' was invoked by: RobC
dark dirge
#

you can't have duplicate keys like that, and theme: doesn't let you play games with the tag to allow it

So how would I go about fixing this?

pick one

you probably want the first one so you can add themes with HACS, so delete the second line

dark dirge
#

somebody else was asking about that a while ago and I think the answer was "no"

#

it was a diabolical data set where the data was always old and holes were filled in over time

honest sluice
#

The data is never old

#

Essentially it's my power usage

#

It's coming from FPL integration

dark dirge
#

and it's updated in sequence as additional attributes?

honest sluice
#

I believe so yes

dark dirge
#

graphs track states, not attributes. So you'd need to create a template sensor and update it as new attributes or values are added

#

and then rely on the database to keep track of historical state

#

you'd need a template that iterates through the attributes to find the new point and make that the new state of the sensor

#

you can't go back in time and fill in data from previous days, for instance

#

and there's no native graph that just graphs a bunch of points, at least that I'm aware of. Maybe Grafana

honest sluice
#

Hmm ok I wonder if I can just look at this and have it always pull the last date

#

Then yes rely on the db

#

Essentially it'll always be previous day

shell torrent
#

out of curiosity, are the attributes always called "usage", "cost", "date" and "max_temperature"?
why notcreate template sensors from those and use the normal graph and/or influx+grafana?
and for images, just use https://imgur.com/ or any similar

When you want to confgure lovelace in any way, you give up the ability to have home-assistant auto generate the view. Is there any way to somehow have home-assistant still generate its view on a seperate tab? This has now holding me back, maybe for months, even. Since I'd like to see at a glance what is available giving up on the autogeneration feels like a big bummer.

Thinking about getting an amazon tablet for lovelace. I see a lot of people using Fully kiosk. Does this cost money/ subscription? hard to find definitive information on it

Some functionality of it does.

For a tablet, I can really recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thanksmister.iot.wallpanel
With MQTT support for sensors (and camera for motion) or if you'd like TTS or so. And autostart at boot.
Works great, and active development. But what it doesn't is locking down the phone. Which I haven't needed despite two kids with long and curios fingers.
And basic camera streaming.
