For example two vertical stacks will always ensure you have a two column layout (two columns that are side by side on large screens, or above one another on small screens)(
@knotty quest so if I want 3 columns I have to make 3 vertical stacks to start out but in the correct order because I won’t be able to change its order later?

knotty quest
#

@wintry gull That's correct. I think there are some custom cards that allow for drag and drop (and it might be on the roadmap for the official release too)

#

@wintry gull so for three vertical columns I would make 3 vertical stacks combined into a single horizontal stack

hi guys, looking for a bit of advice, i have a few motion sensors and door sensors and i want lovelace to display when they were last opened or when they were last detecting motion rather than the current status. does anyone know if this is possible? thanks!

#

I have home assistant on my tablet which I will mount to the wall. what is the best way to get rid of the side bar on the tablet?

#

With side bar I mean the bar with map, tools, etc etc

formal tide
#

just activate "always hide sidebar" in your device profile?

gloomy chasm
#

Well

#

haha I can't thank you enough!

#

then question 2:
I have all these circles entities in the top of my UI , how do I get rid of these as example: Sun, hacs , remote UI

formal tide
#

those are "badges" and you need to switch to a custom lovelace dashboard or edit the dashboard in raw to get rid of them

gloomy chasm
#

Ahh ok, well I am not a code pro

#

so getting a custom lovelace would be the best option I guess

#

got it, ty @formal tide

So, is there a nice "go to"-card to show Temp/Humidity/Barometric pressure in a pleasing way? 🙂

#

I use the Mini-Graph card for grpahing temp and pressure

#

For me, tracking it over time helps in predicting migraines (or at least explaining them)

hello guys
I have made a DIY curtain controller relay board for my dooya curtains. I am using esphome as firmware and
it works great but the slider in the UI is opposite how can I change it?
yaml config is fine and also when i say google assistant to open curtains its perfect.
Only problem is the slider

Has anyone had issues with Home assistant loading in the latest release. I get like half a UI and everything slowly loads in over the course of 5 minutes. I didn't have this issue with .116. I am probably going to head back to .116. I was just curious if anyone else had this issue?

it looks like the dark mode in HA is effecting iframe backround colors?

"Not sure where this Q belongs but was curious to what people are using for interfaces for their HA systems? ... was thinking of either making some raspberry Pi touchscreens to put on the walls or to get some cheap android tablets and putting on tabletop mounts & wall mounts ?" was advised this Chan may be best to reach out on 😀

#

Hi,

who can possibly help me? How is it possible to close all shutters at the same time with Home Assistant? i use shelly 2.5

#

Entities are available, but cant shut down all at the same time

stone bolt
#

@somber crest you could use a scene, an automation or a script.

somber crest
#

@stone bolt thank you

#

but the group function helps aswell

stone bolt
#

yes, there's about a dozen ways you could accomplish modifying multiple entities at the same time

#

i'm trying to add a button-entity-row element to one of my lights in my entities card. i keep getting "Custom element doesn't exist: button-entity-row." on the card. i added it in the lovelace resources section. anything off the top of your head someone can point me at?

#

if it matters, i'm running everything off of the HAOS

frail bridge
#

anyone know how to embed JUST this part of a google search

#

like just the card

pine bluff
#

Going crazy over something that should be easy peasy! Done it all a long time ago, so likely I'm missing somthing obvious... Trying to set up a normal light group, but get:
Invalid config for [group]: value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['group']['light']['entities']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 13).
Line 13 is the include groups.yaml line.

From groups.yaml:
`light:

  • platform: group
    name: Koksobelysning
    entities:
    • light.kokso_1
    • light.kokso_2`

Can't get my head around it, spent a few hours on this already! mindblown Any ideas?

potent pecan
#

hope that helps in some way

#

i wonder if you add that config to the actual configuration.yaml if it will work for you

pine bluff
#

@potent pecan Thanks, already read those without success. According to that, it should be working.

potent pecan
#

understood, @pine bluff. did you try to put it into the configuration.yaml directly, though?

#

i'm curious if it works there

#

i actually decided that i didn't need the feature, so i stopped looking into it

pine bluff
#

i'm curious if it works there
@potent pecan Hmm seams like the yaml doesn't generate the error in configuration.yaml. Thanks for the advice, never would have guessed. So then I need to fins why the include fails instead...

potent pecan
#

yeah. again, i'm sure someone here much smarter than i can chime in on why, but to me, they looked to work differently

vapid field
#

Is they a way of making a picture-element card full screen ?

clever obsidian
#

is there any way to hide logbook and history from non admin user?

dark dirge
#

did you ask this earlier?

#

there's an outstanding request for exactly that in the forum that hasn't yet been implemented, but you can remove them from the sidebar by clicking-and-holding the "Home Assistant" title or hitting "edit" in the profile

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.dishwasher_remaining_program_time_2
show_header_toggle: false

Why is the entity name still displaying when I use this card type in horizontal card?
#

Trying to display only % complete (which i can see) however its truncated because the work "dishwas.." fills the small card

kind shellBOT
#

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

Odd show_name is not working well either.

clever obsidian
#

@rain briar that would be great

dark dirge
#

I don’t see that in the docs at all

rain briar
dark dirge
#

That’s an entities card

rain briar
#

Correct that's what I'm using "type: entities" .. Or did you mean to say that's a entity filter card

dark dirge
#

It sounds like you’re pointing to an entity-filter card as a reason that show_name should work in an entities card

rain briar
#

Caught that minor detail after you posted.. my apologies.

proud ibex
#

hi guys, whats the best way to display a live feed of an ip camera as a card?

viral eagle
#

a still image at a glance or live?

proud ibex
#

live if possible

viral eagle
#

I used to have mine live in a card, but I've since converted to using picture-glance. It updates the image every 10 sec.

proud ibex
#

ok that sounds good

#

how would you do that without having your cameras set up as entities?

viral eagle
#

Idk

proud ibex
#

no worries thanks anyway

viral eagle
#

I'm using a camera.yaml

#

platform ffmpeg

#

That adds the cameras as entities

proud ibex
#

oh

#

i'll look into that

viral eagle
#

then I pull the camera.yaml into my main config

#

good luck

proud ibex
#

thank you

proud ibex
#

good luck
@viral eagle got it working thank you 🙂

#

picture at a glance updating every 10 seconds and when u click the card it shows the live stream 🙂

tawdry moat
#

is there a way to minimize (or fold out of view) a card in Lovelace? so that I could toggle with a click if I want to see it and otherwise it doesn't take up much space

#

here's a quick mockup of what I have in mind

karmic tiger
#

You can have conditional cards. Then you'd just need to have a toggle (input_boolean or some other logic) to show/hide.

tawdry moat
#

right, I hadn't thought of that. and would it be possible to do it without a backend state? it would be cool if I could style it like a nice little bar similar to my mockup

karmic tiger
#

No sure how you'd do it natively without a backend state to support it. There may be custom cards that 'collapse' a card. I haven't seen one but I don't do much custom work on my dashboards.

tawdry moat
#

yeah, his cards are legendary. there is the fold-entity-row. unfortunately it only supports the entities card though, not the map

karmic tiger
#

Yeah, I didn't suggest that one because your mockup suggests you want to fold an entire card.

#

See if someone else comes along with a suggestion 🙂

tawdry moat
#

yup 🙂 thanks for your help

#

also thanks for mentioning the word 'collapse', it's far easier to describe it like this haha

Hi everyone

#

I'm having a problem with a timer in an automation. When I trigger it a timer is set to six hours after which I get a notification that the job is done

#

I created this timer in yaml, problem comes when I restart HA, timer gets cancelled. I tried creating something retrieving the "remaining" attribute of the timer before I restart in order to reset the trigger to that amount but the "remaining" attributed doesn't seem to update properly, it's been showing 6 hours for more than an hour. I also tried adding an event to google calendar since it would surive both HA restart and Node Red restarts, but I can't find an easy solution for this... is there an east way to have a timer that survives both situations in node red? Thanks in advanced

#

ups sorry, I'll move this to the Node Red section, my mistake

#

i created a person ("that can login") for my wife. she logged in with the home assistant android app just fine. but now if i go to "people" tab, i only see myself there. if i try to recreate the same user for my wife it complains that the user already exists (when trying to set a password)

#

where do these passwords / users get stored? how do i remove a user that is not shown in the people view?

#

(i've restarted supervisor, hard refreshed the home assistant web ui, no luck. can't find anything related to persons in the yaml configs on the samba share either)

vapid field
#

found it. .storage hidden folder had the good stuff

polar kelp
#

Make a backup before you poke anything in there. It's really easy to mess up.

Hi, I have an issue where history graphs are flatlining even though I can see the values have changed. ie the thermostat value is different from the current value on the graph and the last 24hrs have not changed. I'm guessing somebody has seen this before?

dark dirge
#

maybe your database is corrupt/broken and is not retaining state? Or the entities you're looking at have their state excluded from the recorder:?

little scarab
#

I was just looking online and I can also see that the state history is not showing either

#

That points to a corrupt db

#

I guess

#

Hello, I would like to put N cards in lovelace pointing to the same script, each one passing a different value for a variable in the script. Is it possible? In the doc I just see it possible when calling a script in an automation

dark dirge
#

it doesn't matter how scripts are called

#

variables passed to scripts go in the data: portion, so should work the same way from Lovelace

proven tree
#

Maybe a stupid question, but I notice my HA has my phone listed as an Entity...I never added it...did it discover this because I have the Home Assistant App on my Android device? Or else how does it know?

dark dirge
#

yes, it creates a bunch of stuff when you onboard in the app

#

that's a "feature" 🙂

proven tree
#

Kick Ass, I am gonna go put that app on my kids and wife's phone so I can track them...lol

honest ridge
#

@dark dirge so if I have ```type: entities
entities:

  • script.1604525546541``` I just need to add a data behind?
dark dirge
#

I was thinking of "tap_action", really

honest ridge
#

right now I'm creating the card 100% via UI

#

if I edit it as YAML I get that

#

I'll check the tap_action thing

dark dirge
#

and then that takes a service: and service_data: block

honest ridge
#

ok...and I can call a script just like a service?

dark dirge
#

yes

honest ridge
#

ok let's try that

dark dirge
#

for example

honest ridge
#

oook, I think I was mislead by the autogenerated card for a script. If I start from a generic button I get the tap_action

#

@dark dirge thanks a lot! Just achieved what I wanted!

Quick question if I’m using the kiosk card to make some dashboards fully kiosk for a tablet how do I temporarily disable it so I can edit the cards on it or add new ones?

frail bridge
#

Is there a way to center the title on a card?

mild veldt
#

@frail bridge probably with card-mod

faint echo
#

Would anyone know if there is a way to automate switching views. I was looking for a service maybe that could do it but didn't see anything. Wondering if anyone has done this.

frail bridge
#

I also need a way to have a drop down menu to select things?

#

I was using fold-entity-row but you need an entity as the title

#

and also, is there a way to hide the state in a entity?

#

show_state doesn't seem to work on a switch

#

or change a state text to a button

latent bramble
dark dirge
#

data: -> service_data:

frail bridge
#

any way to open a lovelace link in the same tab?

latent bramble
#

so it be like this? , still not good

service:
              domain: input_select
              action: select_option
              service_data:
                entity_id: input_select.fan_speed
                option: one
dark dirge
#

the "domain" and "action" tags come from the UI editor, but hopefully they translate into a service of input_select.select_option. If you actually have an option named exactly "one", then I would expect it to work

#

It could just be that that particular syntax isn't allow there, and you actually want this:

# 
      tap_action:
        action: call-service
        service: input_select.select_option
        service_data:
          entity_id: input_select.fan_speed
          option: one
#

that "service:" just hanging out there is probably causing problems

mossy timber
#

So I have a bunch of mqtt sensors defined, coming in from Zigbee2Mqtt ... why would those get marked as 'unavailable' in lovelace?

thanks @dark dirge that did work but is it possible to update the colour of the button by automation?

Hello! Is this the right place to ask for help installing frontend components with hacs for lovelace?

polar kelp
#

Here or the hacs discord.

tired wind
#

Ok.
I installed a plugin with hacs (vertical-stack-in-card) but, when I try to use it in lovelace it says component does not exist. Do I need to do anything else besides installing it through hacs?

sour coral
dark dirge
tired wind
#

Hmm I don't think that's the problem as I'm copying the lovelace yaml from another user

vapid field
#

hello

#

I am very new with home assistant and I'am trying to configure it with HACS - button-cards

#

custom-cards/button-card

#

I am reading the documentation, but I find it a little difficult to start configure it

#

there is any "start guide" for that ?

tired wind
dark dirge
#

you probably need to add the resource in configuration -> Lovelace & Dashboards -> Resources that HACS mentioned when you installed the card

tired wind
#

Ah, damn, must have missed that, i'll try it out, thanks!

dark dirge
#

there are some situations where HACS automatically installs the resource, which is the most user friendly thing, but others where it doesn't. I don't remember what the difference is

#

something about whether Lovelace is in "auto" mode vs. taking control

tired wind
#

yay, it worked! Had to activate advanced mode so I could see the Resources tab in lovelace

dark dirge
#

that, too :). we're still not quite to the point where you can just click/install/use

karmic tiger

#

It's not bad though!

Hello everybody! I have a little question. I use a Sonoff Door sensor with a ZB bridge that I've flashed with Tasmota. But There is something bothering me. The status of the door state has a little mistake. It is written "Fermé" instead of "Fermée" (in French a door is "female" therefor it takes a "e" at the end). Any idea how to change it? I tried the custom sensor one, it kinda works, but I loose the good color scheme of the "Opened/Closed" and the history under it. Thanks!

karmic tiger
modern needle
#

How can I see if there is a mistake in the French translation, which file is used?

Is there a card that folds out like the media player card does? I'm looking to hide a few ugly settings behind a pretty face! :)

#

Also, how do I fix the bug where, when I click on the yellow + add card , there are no card types to choose from? Just the selector between by card and by entity 🤷‍♂️

#

bug?

limpid radish
#

I dont know, its bugged out for me 🤷‍♂️

#

I tried restarting HA already

Hello, Why would someone choose to use yaml for the default dashboard, using ui-lovelace? What are the benefits?

#

I want to use custom cards but I think that is really only doable in yaml lovelace

polar kelp
#

Third party preprocessors and simple version control are some reasons. Custom cards can definitely be used without being in yaml mode.

The king of cards @polar kelp . Do you have something in mind for this? :D

polar kelp
#

fold-entity-row

distant silo
#

@polar kelp i was actually installing your slider It is very nice. I have seen where they get added to the front end but then where do I put the resources? in the configuration.yaml or the ui_lovelace.yaml?

polar kelp
#

Configuration configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards -> Resources

#

You need Advanced Mode enabled in your profile settings to see the Resources tab.

distant silo
#

yeah so that is where I put the module

icy cradle
#

It would be nice indeed if we could handle custom cards like the default cards.

#

From the gui

#

Now only default cards are listed when you edit the interface

polar kelp
#

A few ones have a gui editor, but it's a lot of work to set up for the maintainer.

distant silo
#

oh so that is normal then?

polar kelp
#

That's normal, yes.

icy cradle
#

Yeah, it probably requires additional work. However next to that, it would still be nice if you could have an overview. You know, when you edit a dashboard (+) button.

distant silo
#

I mean it looks like an error so I get all paranoid lol

polar kelp
#

But you just made me realize you can add a card to the card picker dialog even if it doesn't have a GUI editor... 🤔 That's a start

icy cradle
#

Yes, all the way in the bottom there is enter manual yaml mode/card or something like that.

#

It is a start. but having just an overview of actual available custom installed cards would be nicer 😄

distant silo
#

Is that why it is bet to just modify all from the raw config editor rather than a manual card? what is the best approach?

icy cradle
#

No, just modify as much as possible through the gui. Why make it yourself so difficult.

polar kelp
#

There is a mechanic for adding any card to the list, but few people know about it, and I only use it for one of my cards...

📎 unknown.png
icy cradle
#

Same here Thomas. I typically just end up clicking a random card or duplicating an existing one and then going in to yaml mode. As I forget sort of that option.

polar kelp
#

No I mean there's a mechanic for the custom card developer to add their card to the list, like the Custom: Browser Player one in that screenshot.

icy cradle
#

Oh! I thought you were talking about the "manual" section. I see now.

#

So there option is already there. 🎉. Everyone just forgot about it / didn't know.

#

I Googled for it earlier. Couldn't find anything on it. Any pointers?

distant silo
#

Yeah that manual card.. ok, thanks, one last question, It is my understanding that /config/www = /local/ but your card through hacs is /hacsfiles/lovelace-slider-entity-row/slider-entity-row.js however the file is actually in \config\www\community\lovelace-slider-entity-row

#

Is that wording too confusing

icy cradle
#

I am not sure rachet. I agree. I had it similar the other day. Have you installed the samba add-on? Try creating a folder named "icons" in the www folder via Windows. Doesn't work.

distant silo
#

hmm there is something behind that, wierd

#

i bet there is a sudo command or something prohibiting that

#

the folder is owned by root:root

icy cradle
#

I guess there using symlinks.

#

local points to www folder

#

in the browser

distant silo
#

you can prob docker inspect

icy cradle
#

but internal you have hacsfiles and community pointing to the same folder. Where as hacsfiles seem to be a symlink. As I can see a community folder in config/www/

#

I guess

distant silo
#

so hacsfiles may too

#

checking

icy cradle
#

@polar kelp any idea on how to get custom cards in to the gui card editor/picker?

#

This is how:

window.customCards = window.customCards || [];
window.customCards.push({
  type: "combi-card", //name of the card
  name: " my card!",
  preview: true, // Optional - defaults to false
  description: "A custom card made by me!" // Optional
});
#

I think this got seriously overlooked by many! Well got it working for my custom card. This will go nice with ha-hacs integration.

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).

BTW, base_url is deprecated in favor of internal_url and external_url

I haven't spent any time on my http: configuration, so it's possible that it could be better. But it works fine with NGINX for me

I am looking at options for using a floorplan in HA - I stumbled upon https://github.com/pkozul/ha-floorplan, which seems to be unmaintained. Then I found at the lovelace-floorplan thing, and am not sure if that depends on ha-floorplan or if it's a replacement. I also looked at picture-elements, but the positioning with percents does not really work for me, because when I resize the window, the items are off 😕

What would you folks suggest to look into for floorplans in 2020? 😉

but i always get an error when trying to put in the include in the lovelace raw config editor

#

the wled_card.yaml is just copied out of a card that does work just fine in lovelace

#

ideally trying to make one card i can edit in yaml and have changes synced between anywhere in lovelace where it's included

vapid field
#

why wont this work? yaml tap_action: action: call-service service: shopping_list.add_item data: name: milk

hallow mango
#

i think it's service_data

# 
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: shopping_list.add_item

Hello,

#

I am trying to work with custom-cards/button-card

#

does anyone uses Shelly Dimmer with that ?

#

How can I do for instance: if I have brigthness < 50 then color ==> red

#

and I also want to show the bar to change the brigthness, directly on the card. Is it possible?

Is there a way to install python3 or pip through the ssh terminal?

distant silo
#

Has anyone had a chance to review my request?

halcyon basin
#

@distant silo You can do this using the custom:button-card
I did something similar today with my doors and windows..

#

this did it for me:

entity: binary_sensor.livingroom_window_left
name: Left
show_icon: true
show_name: true
state:
  - color: '#008000'
    value: 'off'
    icon: 'hass:window-closed'
  - color: '#FF0000'
    value: 'on'
    icon: 'hass:window-open'
type: 'custom:button-card'
distant silo
#

@halcyon basin I am currently using that card

#

However as far as I know the switch I am using only uses on / toggle

#

I set the device_class to garage_door but it always say off or closed

halcyon basin
#

you don't need the switch to do anything, it is just displaying information, if you take a look above, it is pulling information from the binary sensor livving room window left, then if it is open it is showing one icon in green, and if it is closed, it is showing another in red. copy and paste the text above and change the binary sensor and the icons.

distant silo
#

I have a zwave tilt sensor binary sensor that will state if the door is open or closed

halcyon basin
#

ok, does it report as open closed, or on off?

distant silo
#

well i can adjust that, The tilt sensor or the switch?

halcyon basin
#

the sensor. the custom button isnt actualy being used as a button here, it is just being used as an icon.

#

if the sensor reports in HA as open and closed rather than on / off just change the above on to open and off to closed.

distant silo
#

oh ok I want to get the state of the tilt sensor and based on that set the color of the button color

halcyon basin
#

that should give you the output you're looking for. you'll need two of these though, one for each door/ sensor.

distant silo
#

The switch always states off, maybe that is the issue

halcyon basin
#

What is the name of the sensor in HA, and does it show as open/closed, or on/off?

#

if the sensor always shows as off, it will always report as closed.

distant silo
#

binary_sensor.ecolink_dads_garage_door_tilt_sensor_sensor

halcyon basin
#

and HA will alway show the same thing. you need to get the sensor to be reportng different outputs depening if the door is open or closed.

distant silo
#

states open or closed

#

the switch always reports closed

halcyon basin
#

forget the switch. you don't need to wrry about taht at the moment.

#

does the sensor report correctly when the door is open?

distant silo
#

yes

halcyon basin
# 
entity: binary_sensor.ecolink_dads_garage_door_tilt_sensor_sensor
name: Left
show_icon: true
show_name: true
state:
  - color: '#008000'
    value: 'closed'
    icon: 'mdi:garage'
  - color: '#FF0000'
    value: 'open'
    icon: 'mdi:garage-alert'
type: 'custom:button-card'
#

that should do it.

#

green garage door for closed, and red garage alert for open.

distant silo
#

Cool, That gets me closer, how do I then hit the door button to then closeor open it

halcyon basin
#

in lovelace create add a new card, select manual, and copy/paste the above in.

distant silo
#

maybe I need to reconfigure the switch somehow

young valley
halcyon basin
#

i think you might need to resetup the switch as a blind, but that one is beyond me at the moment i'm afraid. I didnt see you ask about actually opening and closing the door with a switch.

dark dirge
distant silo
#

true under lovelace.. so yeah cards

halcyon basin
#

@distant silo did that work showing the correct colour for the open/closed door?

distant silo
#

automation actions not so much

halcyon basin
#

I struggled to get my head round automations in HA, so i use Node-red.

distant silo
#

I haven't tried as this does not make it tapable does it?

halcyon basin
#

not, but once you know it is reporting, you can add the open / close part after.

distant silo
#

is node-red easier? I thought it would be more complex

halcyon basin
#

i found it easier, but it can take a little getting used to.

distant silo
#

I think it needs to be a script scene or template lol

halcyon basin
#

i think that the switch needs to be setup as a blind, but you'll ned to get that sorted before you add it to a call / tap action.

#

the original question was about showing the sensor information wasn't it?

distant silo
#

the tap card works with no state information, I'm sure that your code will work for showing the status

#

not really

halcyon basin
#

so if you tap the button it will toggle the door being open or closed?

distant silo
#

it will open or close the door, but the end state is always off / closed

young valley
#

Quick check - is there any reason these service calls only work the first time? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5FxvDnfGNv/ I can run it fine through the developer tools, but it only works the first time I click one of these, rather than letting me click between Hue scenes?

halcyon basin
#

if the button is working, you could just include it in the same config. Can you send me the setup for the button and i'll try and add it in for you.

distant silo
#

sure, I mean I can try, I didn't know if that was the right way or try to get fancy with a template or something

Hi, I'm new to templates and I've started with hass 2 months ago. I want to sum all power sensors(sonoff POWR2), I've got 3 of them on each floor and I want to sum them to show me just 1 value, not 3 seperated. Hope it makes sense. I've tried to use some codes in configuration.yaml, but it didnt work.

shell torrent
#

@astral sail you need a template that does the math for you. you may also need to convert the values from a string into a numeric value like an integer or a float.
a basic example of 3 washing machine sensors that rounds every value to one decimal and then add it to next (you should round as the last step, this was just a really fast example)

   washing_machine_weekly_energy_round:
      value_template: {{ states('sensor.washing_machine1_weekly_energy')|round(1)|float + states('sensor.washing_machine2_weekly_energy')|round(1)|float + states('sensor.washing_machine3_weekly_energy')|round(1)|float}}

Hi all - quick steer. I've got Hue lights in every room and I've got a tab in Home Assistant for each room in the house.

Well, here's the oddest thing. I have temperature sensors on lot of my SonofOff Basics, flashed with TASMOTA. HA 0.114.4 on Mint Linux. When I display a graph over 48 hours, card (a set of entities within a vertical stack) only shows 24 hours. However, when I go into EDIT mode, the window alongside the editor shows 48 hours. I have another graph for 12 hours, but it only shows 6, whereas the graph in the editor shows 12. I've tried ctrl-F5 the browser (Google Chrome) tab. Anyone got any idea what the issue might be, please?

Heya, i have a question about lovelace views. The docs and even a bit above in this channel it shows you can limit certain views to users, but it seems i can only limit them using the userId and not the username. Is there a way to achieve this with username instead of user id?
My point is, i store full config in git with nothing set in gui, so that i can get it going quick. But this way in case of a reinstall, i would have to go through and change all user ids.
Is there a way to achieve what i want?

median sage
#

Ok, right, I thought working out hue groups would solve this. It did not. So, what I'm trying to do is set up a button card that activates one scene in living room on tap/toggle, one scene in living room on hold, and turns off lights in living room on tap. To be honest the specific action tap/double tap/hold don't really matter, just the idea is turn on two scenes, and turn off all lights in a room with a single button card. From what I can tell this should be possible, and I almost got it working, however, when I tick the 'group' option in the hue integration it seems to break the activate scene service. Anyone have any insight into how I can do this?

median sage
#

Ok - I have now somehow made it work 🤷‍♂️ Don't ask me how, I don't understand, but I rebooted the server and now the group option works.... turn off and on again clearly...

What's the best way to make the lovelace cards mobile friendly? I am setting up a tablet for the frontend but the lovelace cards look kind of big. Would love to resize them.

karmic tiger
#

They're already 'mobile friendly' in so much as the layout is responsive.

#

Do you have a particular issue you're trying to solve?

marble bloom
#

Mainly looking to resize each card.

karmic tiger
#

If you do that, they'll be smaller on desktop too. Alternatively, you can use panel mode and vertical/horizontal stacks to make your own layout.

#

That way, you can effectively force everything into a single column, subdivided how you want. I do that for my light controls, since I only ever use those on mobile.

mild veldt
#

@karmic tiger suggestion: replace icons so they represent the room and ditch the names

marble bloom
#

@karmic tiger So in your screenshot, your icons/cards shrunk simply because it's on mobile?

karmic tiger
#

The cards shrunk because they were constrained to a single column. Lovelace normally decides how many columns to use based on your device's screen width.

#

If I hadn't used stacks + panel mode, each of those 9 buttons would be one after the other in a long vertical list.

#

But each would still be full-sized 😉

#

I might do that, ian. I just haven't touched that dash in a while. I'm more interested in UI-less stuff, so that's not a screen I see often.

mild veldt
#

Understandable, ideally you never have to.

karmic tiger

I think if I review that tab, I'm probably going to use button-card to really make it pretty.

dark dirge
#

The only one of those things that's easily done is to add an icon to the sidebar, but it depends on what you want that icon to do. "panel_iframe" allows you to "insert" a separate web page into the HA interface like that.

#

You can also move or delete items in the sidebar by clicking and holding on the title or selecting "edit" in the profile

median sage
#

I think if I review that tab, I'm probably going to use button-card to really make it pretty.
@karmic tiger I'm literally setting this up at the moment. I'm right in thinking button-card is more versatile than the button card built into HA right?

karmic tiger
#

Yes, it's more customisable. Way more. But the trade-off is that it takes more work to get it the way you like it.

median sage
#

The fact that they have both button-card and a button card is just so.... bleh

hello guys. is there a way i can show brightness value (of my light) in a graph. I have automation setup to change brightness over the coarse of each day and would like to see the ramp up/down in a graph if possible.

#

to clarify my question bascially to create a graph (in lovelace) showing numeric state of my light entity brightness. any help would be apprecaited.

vapid field
#

@dark dirge thanks for the hints!

median sage
#

So @proud lodge - haven't managed to make it work, but I'd imagine work out how you can take the 'brightness' state out of your light you can then just use sensor (or equivalent card)

proud lodge
#

the value can be used as in a condition for automation so i know it can be retreived. just need to figure out how to make a sensor out of it.

#

my lights are pwm controlled by my esp32, i was even thinking of using the duty cycle component to create a new sensor but that does not quiet work plus im not sure if i can read that off from the same pin.

would apprecaite if anyone has had experience doing this and or knows of some documentation that explains on how to do this.

Changing the outupt will probably work, the HACS frontend used iife for that reason untill it was moved to iframe and lazy loading

#

Also make sure that your users do not have multiple resources pointing to the same file...

ornate mason
#

Yeah. Makes sense. I guess it'll also pop up if someone have other cards using the same minimizer.

That was the case for me

It conflicted with custom button-card or something 🤷‍♂️

So I just upgraded to 0.117 from 0.115. I probably should have disabled/removed my compact header. Now lovelace won't load any of my pages. Any idea how to disable it now?

I just added a Tradfri RGBW bulb and I'm confused about the color picker control on the hass interface.

#

Bulb comes on initially decently bright, obviously using the W channel. If I use the color picker in hass to make it red, then go back to the center of the wheel for white, it's obviously doing just RGB channels on full, it's dimmer and slightly blue

#

how exactly do you use the color picker to control the W channel?

#

this is through zigbee2mqtt, not a tradfri gateway

undone viper
#

@minor scroll I change it above the color wheel: there's a warm to cool white slider there.

minor scroll
#

@undone viper it's confusing whether this one has RGBWW or just RGBW. I have only the one slider

#

I'm not even sure whether this is a zigbee error telling hass the wrong thing, or a hass error with a bad UI

#

currently doing a firmware update on the bulb

undone viper
#

not really sure.. I get a bar and a color wheel. the bar controls white warmth, color wheel changes it to rgb.

minor scroll
#

brightness changes the W channel until I start playing with color

undone viper
#

weird, I have a bar below that with a warmth setting

minor scroll
#

it looks like zigbee2mqtt is telling mqtt this is " extend: generic.light_onoff_brightness_colorxy,"

#

and not " extend: generic.light_onoff_brightness_colortemp,"

#

I'lls tart on that end

minor scroll
#

there's too many google results for Ikea doing strange things for color temp on these bulbs, undocumented zigbee commands

#

I'm taking them back and buying Hue.

Not sure which channel this goes in... But figure since it is the Home Automation Cast, it might count as frontend since it is a UI thing.

I am trying to get it setup. However, no idea whats going on. When I click cast, it just shows a screen with a heart.

I read it needs https, so I figured id try to get the DuckDNS with LetsEncrypt working... But my ISP blocks port 80.

Am I overthinking this or something? I know there is the simple service I could subscribe to, but tryin to avoid all subscription costs.

Hi all.. I might need some help here. Having some things I can't explain. Yesterday I rebuild all my dashboards. Using all yaml mode. Working perfectly on my laptop in Chrome and Edge. Call it a day and when I go to bed I check the phone. Turns out iOS companion is throwing red for every custom element, not found. Try to clear cache, nothing works. Today I went to work, and checked from my worklaptop, Chrome. What the heck, some of the custom resources load up fine, other's don't. So I check a different laptop, some others load up fine, the ones working on the other laptop don't. The only one who has them all working is the on I developed them on. Configuration > Integrations > Lovelace dashboards is listing all dashboards and resources fine on every device.

#

What am I missing? 🤔

Ok, it's always the same, ask for help after searching everything, and find it...
I had an old ui-lovelace.yaml in my config root, while also specifiying everything in configuration.yaml with includes. Seems to be working now 🙄

If you don't use HACS, follow the instructions at https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card > Install > Manual install.
When it's time for adding a card, scroll down to Example usage > Multiple entities card
If you're not comfortable with manual install and config, maybe it's not the best route for now.

@sullen stream if HA identifies it as a dimmer, you should get the slider automatically. does the entity have a brightness: attribute?

@blazing hamlet templates are not natively supported within Lovelace outside of the Markdown card

Generally speaking, cards don't accept templates. Custom cards may.

you can check out my config-template-card as a potential solution

Even then, you'll have to learn to do the templating in JavaScript.

Hi everyone. I've had homeassistant running for a while now, and I've just been interacting with it through the web dashboard on my PC as well as the android app on my phone. I'm at the point where I want to set up a wall panel for guests and other people in my home to use. I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding how this is done. Is it best to have another instance of homeassistant running on the panel or do you just point the panel at the dashboard with its webbrowser or what? I'd like something that doesn't allow the user to get into the settings or leave the dashboard, and have it power up directly to the dashboard when the power goes out. Where do I start with this. thanks!

karmic tiger
#

Most people use something like Fully Kiosk to just point at the web interface of your existing HA instance.

#

There's no point having multiple instances running across devices, that's what the web interface is for.

Thanks for the suggestions, fully kiosk looks promising

@shell torrent when I add ```

  • platform: switch
    name: sink
    entity_id: switch.kitchen_sink
to my configuration.yaml and do a restart I'm not able to add it to Lovelace as: ```
 - entity: switch.kitchen_sink
    name: Sink
    type: light

To answer your other question it does not seem to have a brightness attribute... can I add one.... the light switch has a dimming capability and I had the circular dimming slider before but now can't get it back

shell torrent
#

that looks a bit strange. let's start with the switch. a switch can (as far as I know) not be a dimming switch in HA.

#

a dimming switch is in the domain light:

sullen stream
#

maybe then I've classified it wrong in my config.yaml....

midnight moon
#

is theme selection suppose to save across sessions? it seem when I log out and log back in, my theme is back to default.

#

or actually, it's backend-selected

shell torrent
#

I don't know how a TP-link switch is integrated, but above it looks like you define a switch which becomes .. a switch

#

does it work? check it in dev tools - states

sullen stream
#

ok, wled is listed as a light and a switch.... interesting.....

shell torrent
#

click the light in dev tools - states

#

the (i)

#

do you have a slider in more-info dialog?

sullen stream
#

no slider... but it does show up now as a light and as a switch

shell torrent
#

a switch can be handled as a light https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.switch/. but that is not changing the way it actually works, it just "..allows you to expose this switch as a light source, allowing you to add, e.g., the wall plug controlling your Christmas Tree, to be part of a light group."

#

it won't be dimmable

#

since it is still a switch

#

so I'd recommend you look at the TP-link integration and verify that the actual device is integrated as a dimmable switch (a light)

sullen stream
#

I have this listed at the same time ```
tplink:
switch:
#kitchen sink
- host: 192.168.xx.xx

shell torrent
#

so I guess you should integrate it as light

#

not as switch

karmic tiger
#

Which TP-Link device is it?

#

(the model number)

sullen stream
#

I believe a HS220

shell torrent
#

"HS220 (acts as a light)"

karmic tiger
#

Yeah, so you'll want to configure it as a light, not a switch.

#

bonehead is correct - if you don't configure it as a light, HA has no idea how to do things like control brightness.

shell torrent
#

probably something like this:

tplink:
  light:
  #kitchen sink
    - host: 192.168.xx.xx
sullen stream
#

that seems to be doing the trick but now it's "unavailable"

#

it was the light vs. switch part....that was the dimming difference

shell torrent
#

yes. a switch is just a switch

#

on/off

#

no in between

sullen stream
#

makes sense now

shell torrent
#

does it work now?

#

I guess you need to restart

sullen stream
#

I restarted home assistant....and I could do it again. I am able to reach the Light with the KASA app

shell torrent
#

you need to restart after you changed to light

sullen stream
#

I also removed an orphaned entity

#

here's a snippet from the documentation..... tplink: discovery: false light: - host: 192.168.200.1
how important is the "discovery: false" ?

#

do I need to cut the power to the light and let home assistant discover it again and then add it?

#

I've restarted HA twice but it still says unavailable

shell torrent
#

I guess we should have moved to #integrations-archived a long time ago. Continue there if you need more help with the actual device. I have no knowledge of TP-link devices

#

the main thing here was to investigate the absence of the slider, and I think we solved that one 🙂

sullen stream
#

you did... thank you...I'll head to integrations.

no. the header is smaller by default now, but not as small as in CH

CH was awesome, but according to maykar it grew out of proportions. that happens. I'm glad some features are moving in to HA instead

echo pumice
#

ouch.

tired igloo
#

yeah, pulling my hair out at the moment.. driving me nuts

icy cradle
#

@tired igloo I don't think is a front-end problem. But a problem with HA then itself (#551864459891703809 ) or could it be your server.

tired igloo
#

a few of those commands worked, however when i try to restart it fails. i'll try again and find the actually error

#

should i move this question to the homeassistant_core area? that doesn't say support, that's why i defaulted here

icy cradle
#

From my understanding this channel is really about the front-end itself. Like the cards / layouts etc. But I could be mistaken.

#

and if it should be _core, I think maybe or in your case _supervised or _container. I always get mixed up with that.

#

and check ha core logs

#

or ha supervisor info if that is the install you used

#

maybe its even _os... since that also lists images for virtual machines

#

😅 ..

tired igloo
#

yeah i'm with you on that. the new naming convention for all of them has me confused as well

icy cradle
#

yeah just post in those channels, they probably know more and otherwise will tell you which channel

kind shellBOT
#

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.

Hi. I'm using animated backgrounds... I'd like to use local video files, but I can't figure out how to reference them in the yaml correctly. I've uploaded mp4s into the config directory via ftp and tried to ref them like:

quick question, is there a way to change the button execute when running a script/scene? like maybe change the name, or change it into an icon?

stone bolt
#

i'm noticing that with my custom:template-entity-row's, when I set active: true the icon is set to bright yellow but for the one's that I'm not overriding it uses dark yellow...
@stone bolt I ran this down and realized that when active: true the icon is using the HA default color, but when the icon color comes automatically with the light entity that the darker color comes from my theme. So this is either a bug in template-entity-row (not using the theme color) or a bug in the theme (not overriding the active color properly).

icy cradle
#

It can also use the rgb values from the light itself I believe

stone bolt
#

@icy cradle I checked and the icon colors rendered for the lights are precisely the ones specified in the theme

stone bolt
#

i'm pretty sure this is a bug in template-entity-row, using card-mod if you style: | :host { --paper-item-icon-color: red; --paper-item-icon-active-color: green; } all of the icons that do not have active set show red or green, but with active: false show default grey and active: true show default yellow. It would seem that these lines never pick up the color var and always use the default: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-template-entity-row/blob/a8dce27ad9cadc0809f02a8e4293577ef05ab374/src/main.js#L104-L105

i do have the samba addon

#

so should i delete the image and dump back in via samba?

#

or check the sec settings of the file?

it is apparently a permissions issue, could also be a unauthorized link to a image from a addon according to the weird link example includding the ingress point - did you link a grafana graph or sth?

did you place it in /config/www ?

If it's not under /www, it's not accessible via the world wide web.

#

hm. isn't that a security risk? 🤔

karmic tiger
#

Isn't locking down HTTP access to files to a single folder a risk? What?!

formal tide
#

was much discussed in WTH month, it is until you know that the attacker need to know the exact url, so debatable... you could go the token route to /media i believe though

karmic tiger
#

That's exactly what you should do... because you don't want people to have full access to your host.

#

You realise that when you access a website, you're traditionally accessing the /www directory of a server, right? You just don't know that, nor do you know anything else that exists on that server.

crimson fable
#

nvm I apparently wasn't following along

hallow juniper
#

not sure if this is the right channel, but: can I somehow do something like this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/449P3fVM49/
so that if my soundbar is powered on, the tv media_player card would have different values for max_volume and volume_steps

#

and if this was wrong channel, please guide me to the right direction

#

and yes, I know that is a custom component, but I thought that this was a core feature and not component specific, if it even is possible of doing this

formal tide
#

I use the "bravia psk" custom component for mine and have added amp: true in the config to get louder/quieter buttons instead of a slider because neither the tv nor HA know the volume of the soundbar
https://i.imgur.com/9enq4Ha.png

karmic tiger
#

It's a custom card, so here's fine 😉

#

type: 'custom:mini-media-player' = card

#

Sneaky, @formal tide

#

If a card supports templating, it'll usually be with JavaScript (that's what the browser understands) rather than Jinja (which is what the backend understands).

#

But only some custom cards support it. You'll have to check their docs.

#

The syntax usually looks similar ([[ template goes here ]])

#

An example from button-card:

confirmation:
  text: '[[[ return `Are you sure you want to toggle ${entity.attributes.friendly_name}?` ]]]'```
hallow juniper
#

so the templating comes from the component itself and not from the core features?

#

ooo, if I can use JS there, it's even better

#

but anywho, I think templating should come from core, instead of from component itself. it would streamline the user-/configuration experience, but that's a whole another topic and perhaps not the best forum to have that kind of discussions on this channel :)

#

@formal tide false, HA knows both my TV and my Soundbar volume. the problem is that my soundbar has different values than my tv (even though both are Sony and they're synced via Bravia). if I set the volume to be 20 in TV, it will become 10 in the soundbar. and if I turn the soundbar off, then TV will be at volume 10, which is somewhat as loud as the soundbar, so that's why I'd like to set different max volume and steps for the TV when the soundbar is off. TV volume 20 = pretty much the same as soundbar volume 20 (which would be TV volume 40. for some reason the TV says 20 and soundbar says 10)

#

both the tv AND ha knows the volume of my soundbar (well, at least HA knows, not sure about the tv :D)

formal tide
#

TIL, mine does not, I have a panasonic amp though

hallow juniper
#

well that could be the issue, idk, but both of mine are Sony and they talk together kind of seamlessly

mild veldt
#

@hallow juniper there are some custom cards that support Jinja templates and are evaluated by core, but that comes at a performance hit. JavaScript templating is better for performance

#

To do what you want, check out my config-template-card

hallow juniper
#

thanks :) I'll try that. JS is far more closer to my heart anyway, but anywho my point was that it would be much better if this kind of feature/support came from the core, instead of the component, thus making the configuration more streamlined/consistent. but that's whole another topic, so I won't go there. either way, thanks, I'll give that a shot :)

#

so, which cards should I take a look into now? 😅 bravia psk and config-template-card ?

#

(not to be an ass, but it would be really nice to have a screenshot of the component in the readme)

#

either way, I'll give both a shot

mild veldt
#

You're using component too loosely

#

Do you mean config-template-card?

hallow juniper
#

yeah

mild veldt
#

So that's a card

hallow juniper
#

not sure would it be even possible of having a screenshot, since I don't know anything about it :) and as I mentioned, I didn't mean to be a dick

mild veldt
#

No, it is just a wrapper. I could have a gif showing it off, but I'm not really motivated to either.

hallow juniper
#

I'm fairly new to the whole HA (joined like 3-4 weeks ago or so), so I'm kinda newbie and trying to get along with configurations 😅 but when checking components, I tend to first check what does it look like

#

so, did I understand correctly: I could wrap the mini-media-player into that and have better configuration experience?

stuck dock
#

Hello, I am wanting to add a floorplan view and control to my Home assistant. However I can not figure out the current version of floorplan for home assistant. can anyone point me in the right direction? I am running Home Assistant Core 0.117.6, HassOS 4.16 on a raspberry pi 4.

mild veldt
#

@hallow juniper again, those are both cards. Not components. Components is not really a term used in HA anymore. config-template-card does not have a look.

hallow juniper
#

well, cards, sorry..

mild veldt
#

@stuck dock have you tried just using picture-elements?

#

The term "component" has a history in HA, hence the confusion

hallow juniper
#

@mild veldt so was my assumption even somewhat correct? that as config-template-card is a wrapper, it provides extended configuration possibilies, for other cards? or am I completely off-track?

stuck dock
#

I have not, Im new to home assistant and have not came across them. I started by searching how to add a floorpplan view to home assistant and came across some post from 2018 and was following that until i saw that it was no longer supported because of lovelace, which pointed me to a newer version which also doesn't appear to be supported. Is there a good place to learn how to use picture-elements?

hallow juniper
#

but using JS in a card ❤️ loving even the idea! haven't been the biggest fan of the Jinja(?) templatings thus far

median saffron
#

hello, can anyone help me please? is it possible to add confirmation: text: "are you sure?" for tap_action: action: toggle, but ONLY for TURN OFF ?for turn on without confirmation

karmic tiger
#

You might be able to use template-config-card for that. Normally confirmation is just on or off. With a template, you could have a rule that is only true when the device is on.

mild veldt
#

@hallow juniper yes. It allows you to template options in cards

kind shellBOT
mild veldt
#

@stuck dock Lovelace docs to start

#

@median saffron that might be tricky using the core feature. Possible with my custom restriction-card though

stuck dock
median saffron
#

@mild veldt i can use any custom component, if it will work on web and android app

mild veldt
#

@stuck dock you can but don't need to. That's just your config. Just add a picture-elements card and go from there

stuck dock
#

okay. thank you

mild veldt
#

@median saffron the card works on all devices to my knowledge

plain onyx
#

tts voice on google device is different(sounds less fluend) , than default google voice

#

?

mild veldt
#

Okay...?

median saffron
#

@mild veldt i down understant, how to add my condition to restriction-card, my code is:

#

`cards:

  • cards:
    • entity: switch.pc
      tap_action:
      action: toggle
      type: button
      confirmation:
      text: "Are you sure????"
      type: horizontal-stack
      type: vertical-stack
      `
plain onyx
#

wanna make an automation , when my garbage bin will be emptied, my google nest/minis will do text-to-speech "the container needs to be put on the street" but TTS doesnt make fluend sentences , more a spelling contest "P

karmic tiger
#

This isn't the place for automation talk... 😉

mild veldt
#

@median saffron haven't tested but something close to this

type: custom:restriction-card
restrictions:
  confirm:
    text: "Are you sure????"
    condition:
      entity: switch.pc
      value: "on"
card:
  type: button
  entity: switch.pc
  tap_action:
    action: toggle
karmic tiger
#

And to be honest, I don't even think the problem is the automation if your TTS is attempted on the correct device.

median saffron
#

@mild veldt ok, thanks, i will test it

#

@mild veldt i cant find your restriction-card in hacs?!

Hello, I have a component generating n sensors that I want to display as rows in a view.
I wrote the lovelace config to generate a row with multiple cards and now I need a way to repeat this for every sensors.
I don't know how to make this happen and couldn't find anything.
Does anyone know of a way pls ?

clever ore

No problem, also there is no need to keep tagging people in your replies

kind shellBOT
#

Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.

Command '.irc' was invoked by: maykar
hallow juniper
#

@mild veldt oooo, nice! That sounds really good

median saffron
#

maykar: ok 🙂 (is this ok? 🙂 , restriction-card is working, but i need "click" button twice. is this normal behaviour youo component? 😦 OFF state, clicked => "lock" disapear, and i must click again to turn on 😦 (same in ON state)

hallow juniper
#

@mild veldt I suppose that Picture-elements card example of your card would be a good example for me to take a look into, with my mini-media-player (or what ever) card?

mild veldt
#

@median saffron ah yes, restriction-card is an overlay on the card beneath it. so yeah, a bit different behavior than what you might be after

median saffron
#

its ok, for now (better thant excidently turn off computer:D) but i must find solution without "double" click 🙂

mild veldt
#

more straight-forward method would probably be using conditional cards

#

or state-switch custom card

#

display an actual "different" card depending on state of the switch

#

but the only difference between the two cards being the confirmation

median saffron
#

hmmm, ok, i will check it

#

can i use your component in entities?

#

`entities:

  • card:
    entity: switch.pc
    restrictions:
    confirm:
    text: "Are you sure????"
    condition:
    entity: switch.pc
    value: "on"
    type: custom:restriction-card
  • entity: binary_sensor.pc_status
    show_header_toggle: false
    title: PC
    type: entities
    state_color: true`
#

it does not work for me: No card type configured

wheat current
#

Which is correct, on the base there you have not configured a card type

median saffron
#

and what is the solution? I think I completely do not understand lovelace ui logic 😦

wheat current
#

adding the correct type

#

meh....

#

I need more ☕ you have a type there

mild veldt
#

You need a type under card

#

E.g.

card:
  type: button
#

Or you need to set row: true

#

Which is likely what you want

median saffron
#

type: button is ot the same

#

is it possible send here pictures?

kind shellBOT
#

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

Command '.images' was invoked by: Ludeeus
median saffron
#

thanks

#

row: true is almost ok. only icon does not change color by state

mild veldt
#

Add it on the card config

#

state_color: true

median saffron
#

amazing 🙂 thanks a lot 🙂

stuck dock
#

is there a way to have an image scale to screens size based on each device with picture-elements card? so the image is fully shown. I know in css there is, which is what picture-elements card are based off of if i am understanding correctly.

karmic tiger
#

Do you mean it's too small on larger devices?

stuck dock
#

it fits width wise on the screen but not height. however when i made the image i made it to the screens size. so it apears home assistant is scaleing somewhere and didnt know if i can have it fit like css on web pages

karmic tiger
#

If it fits the width, how do you expect it to be scaled to fit the whole screen? It would have to be stretched rather than scaled.

stuck dock
#

the image is being stretched by home assistant currently. I do not know why as I am not seeing any code for it to stretch. So i am trying to code it to not do that

karmic tiger
#

How are you displaying it full-width? What device is this on?

stuck dock
#

I figured it out. It was a user error when saving the image. The software scalled the image and didn't realize it. Thanks for your help

karmic tiger
#

Heh, no problem 😄

templates are not natively supported by Lovelace, outside of the Markdown card

#

check out my config-template-card

#

or create a template sensor

#

Thanks! Futzing with template sensors now.

graceful dagger
#

Not sure if this is a frontend question. I'm working on migrating to a new server (3b+ to a 4B). I wanted a partial fresh start to get cleaner config and everything because of all the improvements the past year or two.

Anyways, I have a secrets.yaml file. It's not seeming like I can add Integrations using !secrets credentials? Is that the case now?

mild veldt
#

Integrations added from the UI? No. But it can not be viewed from the UI after entering it either. Many integrations don't even store it and just use it once to get a token.

graceful dagger
#

Ahh, okay. Cool that sounds even better.

#

I suppose that makes sense. We're not needing to share yaml files that'd have things in there anymore.

sly marsh

Can someone easily see what I'm doing wrong with this entity filter card? No matter what value or operator I put there, it shows every entity listed, without filtering.

type: entity-filter
entities:
  - sensor.hallkontroll
  - sensor.kokskontroll
  - sensor.sovkontroll
state_filter: 
  - operator: "<"
  - value: 50
  - attribute: state
polar kelp
#

You list all entities that are Either less than, have the value 50 OR have a state.

#

Try ```yaml
state_filter:

  • operator: "<"
    value: 50
    attribute: state```
sly marsh
#

Oh! Thanks!

#

Hm, that shows me no entities. Even with value: 100.

polar kelp
#

Because 100 > 50, not <

#

Oh, you mean you set the value to 100, not that the entity has that.

#

Actually, you should probably leave out the attribute line

sly marsh
#

Yes, exactly. Either way, it shows me no entities when I set value: 0 as well.

polar kelp
#

state is not an attribute

sly marsh
#

Oh, checking...

#

Perfect, that was it, thank you so much!

Does navigation path or URL still work? I've tried both on my picture elements card under the tap action and I can't get either to work. I've tried both the tab numbers (0,1,2, etc) and the tab name (floorplan-lights and floorplan_lights) but nothing happens when I tap the icon. Can anyone help?

#

tap_action: navigate navigation_path: floorplan_lights

#

is an example I tried

polar kelp
#

I think you also need the dashboard name, e.g. lovelace/floorplan_lights

keen quartz
#

Oh I think I tried that originally but more recent docs were showing without. Will try right now and report back thank you

polar kelp
#

I assume the indentation error is due to you copy-pasting the code?

keen quartz
#

tap_action: url url: 'https://www.home-assistant.io'

#

not working either

#

yes I have them both lined up the same

#

Could it be because I'm using the UI editor?

polar kelp
#

Ah. I see

keen quartz
#

Oh crap

#

that's probably it

loud thistle
keen quartz
#

When I did this my icons disappearedtap_action:
action: navigate
navgation_path: /lovelace/floorplan_lights/

#

it added null after tap_action tap_action: null action: navigate navigation_path: /lovelace/floorplan_lights

polar kelp
#

Then your indentation was off. action and navigation_path should be to the right of tap_action.

keen quartz
#

Woohoo you're the man. Love your cards and mods by the way

polar kelp
#

Thank you

#

Are any of the cards from a year or 2 ago not working or do they all still work?

#

I've got maybe a dozen of them to work but ones (may not be yours) like roku card and battery card I haven't been able to get running

#

Do you know if the secondary attributes will become available on the custom cards eventually? I love having my motion sensors in your folding card but I can't put the last triggered attribute below them because it's in the folding card

hi, im running HA in docker and im trying to add my first custom card to the ui the "mini-graph-card" https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card I have downloaded the file to my folder "www" that are inside the config folder and i have added the resource both in the configuration.yaml and I have also tried adding it throught the UI Resource since I get warning I'm running Lovelance in storage mode. But the add on can not be found:

Custom element doesn't exist: mini-graph-card.
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
Any tips?

don't add it to configuration.yaml - do it in the UI
