#

what path did you use for the resource when you added it?

#

the easiest way to add cards like that is through HACS, BTW:

kind shellBOT
#

Home Assistant Community Store is the successor to the old Custom Updater, and can do so much more - you should check it out. They even have a Discord server for issues with HACS itself.

marsh delta
#

/local/filename.js

#

but now it just worked.. do not know what I did.. πŸ™‚ maybe cache or something

dark dirge
#

could be. the problem with /local is that it's cached

#

if you install via HACS, it puts it in an uncached endpoint (I believe)

marsh delta
#

Since I run it on docker i don't have HACS :/

dark dirge
#

so you'd need to keep adding ?v=xxx to get it to update

#

you do, it has nothing to do with that

#

or... you can if you follow those instructions

#

Can someone please give me a quick sanity check on two questions? First, can a particular entity be customized by via multiple methods ie: customize: & customize_glob:? It looks like I can't do this and it uses first match but I just want to double check my thunks.

Basically I'm trying to set a friendly_name on a per-entity level but change the units of measurement in bulk.

Second even when I just give up and set both in one place, the unit of measurement change does not seem to be reflected on my history-graph card's scale. Not quite purely cosmetic because I don't want Relative Humidity and Battery % to be graphed together. I can work around it in a few ways, but now it is bugging me 😒

Super trimmed down version of what I am looking todo:
https://hastebin.com/farahotozu.yaml

docker exec home-assistant python -m homeassistant  --config /config --version
0.116.2

#

HACS is independent of install method

marsh delta
#

ok. then I will try to find a way of have that πŸ™‚ thanks RobC

#

is there a way to add a QR code to lovelace dashboard? I'd like to add an image of a QR code for guest wifi

dark dirge
#

you just want to display an image?

civic trout
#

yep

dark dirge
#

but you can generate a QR code anywhere an display it in a card

civic trout
#

yep, that's what I did...got it generated with a phone app and have it ready to go

#

looking at the doc, looks like I only need to add these two lines

type: picture
image: /local/home.jpg
#

i don't need to call any service so I'm assuming I only need those two lines

dark dirge
#

looks good to me

civic trout
#

testing but thank you!!!

#

@dark dirge would you know if I set those lines in the configuration.yaml?

dark dirge
#

no, it's a Lovelace card

civic trout
#

I added the picture locally per the doc just now and I can hit the URL so it looks good so far

#

just need to add it to lovelace now

dark dirge
#

specifically, this bit:

#

To start, go to the Home Assistant Overview page, click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select β€˜Edit Dashboard’. Then click the orange β€˜+’ icon at the bottom right and select a card to add.

civic trout
#

right...that's where I originally started...I assume it'll be the Picture Entity? I didn't think i'd be that since I don't have an entity for it, which is required

dark dirge
#

picture and picture entity are different things

#

you can see all the default cards on the right side

civic trout
#

oh man

#

I totally missed Picture πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

#

I saw the Picture Entity and though that was the only one

#

sorry about that

#

that did it, thanks a bunch!

#

it's ok

#

I've had a long day

#

I'm here working on backing up my stuff

#

and configuring a few things

#

and HA craps out

#

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

#

i should quit for the day

I've got some light groups defined from a HA server I just migrated away from (3b+ to a 4b). When I restart HA, the light groups show as greyed out/disabled until there's been a state change of one of the lights within the group. https://imgur.com/Aq4f2dm

How do I get the light groups to recognize states and be active immediately?

Hello guys.

 - type: history-graph
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.xiaomi_zncz04lm_01_watts
    hours_to_show: 24

sometimes this kind of card shows a nice chart with a red line and sometimes it shows as a bar with lots of colors....
how can i force it to be the chart type?

Do you know what the presets that you want to call are ?, I usually use developer tools section to find out what I need to be using

#

If you go to this link it walks through how to do it :)

Thanks for quick response :)!

No problem I like to self host it as is much easier for me to edit the files via SMB share.

@vapid field haven't used that feature personally, does the log give any hint to what may be wrong ?

#

@vapid field let me look 1 sec

#

@vapid field but here they describe to make an host with DuckDNS? can't i just use a full path to the samba /media file?

@vapid field but here they describe to make an host with DuckDNS? can't i just use a full path to the samba /media file?

@thorny coral for me I use an SMB share with the HA server ... for example I use "image: 'http://192.168.1.210:8123/local/MikeRoom.png'" for the image ... the folder structure is "\192.168.1.210\config\www"

gusty wing
#

@thorny coral put your file in /config/www/media/floorplan.png
then you can use /local/media/floorplan.png on the lovelace card

thorny coral
#

@gusty wing the www file isn't there. So i created it change the:
/local/media/woonkamer.jpg
but didn't work

gusty wing
#

yes so if dont have www folder

#

create one

thorny coral
#

Yes done but doesn't work

gusty wing
#

wierd did u restart after creating it?

thorny coral
#

not yet but also that doesn't work for me.. I can't check if my configes are correct or not or restart the core. <serverbeheer> Falidate confige , restart server , stop they dont work

karmic tiger
#

It sounds like you have more important issues to fix first.

#

You should always be validating your config when you make any change.

#

But you'll definitely have to restart before the www folder works.

thorny coral
#

Also didnt worked

Found my 3 devices in fronted as new entities but doesnt work

#

Hello everyone. Quick questions. How do you guys have your views set up? like 1 per room? 1 per topic as in lights, acs, fans? or another way? Thanks

karmic tiger
#

It's going to depend very much on what you have set up in your HA and how you like to organise it... but I have mine per room mostly, with one other view for all of the lights so I can use it as a remote control on my phone.

#

It's a very personal decision, since we all have different devices and different tastes in what looks right.

umbral harness
#

i have an all in one dash with a lot of stuff on it.. and then i have a security tab for cams, smart tv tab, lighting tab, another tab to play around with the picture elements card with a floorplan

wintry gull
#

ok. I currently have mine per room but it was just to start out and keep it divided but now Im just wondering if its the best way.

mild veldt
#

@wintry gull there's no best way, unfortunately. All comes down to personal taste along with you're setup and even the devices you're displaying your dashboards on. There's no formula for it

#

reddit and the forums are good places to explore for inspiration, however

vapid field
#

Hi all thought id try reach out on the front end channel. SInce enabling my SSL and turning it back off, all my Add ons are showing 401 unauthorised when conencting locally to HA ... if i connect through nabu it works fine ... any suggestions please ?

@kindred brook Please DO NOT cross post. Read the channel description, post it and wait for folks to respond.

Hello, I would like to use mini-graph-card addon from HACS. I installed it from HACS. Restarted my HA. I added a new lovelace card and used type: custom:mini-graph-card, its says : "No card type configured."

dark dirge
#

Did you add the resource?

timber flint
#

Yes its inside by HACS.

#

I checked it manually, its there and the linking is good, showing the right place.

#

Now after a few refresh the error message changed: "Cannot read property 'length' of undefined"

polar kelp
#

What's your full configuration for the card?

timber flint
#

Whats inside the default example on github:

- type: custom:mini-graph-card
  entities:
   - sensor.euro

@dark dirge Sorry what do you mean?

dark dirge

type: custom:mini-graph-card

timber flint
#

Ah you are right, I totally forgot I already faced this issue once. Thanks for the hint!

#

Can I ask why is everything what is about Home Assistant writing with "- type:" ? instead of just "type:"

dark dirge
#

because it was written with the assumption that the user is editing the YAML manually

timber flint
#

Ah I understand. That makes sense.

dark dirge
#

which was more common in the past, and is becoming less common and less necessary. But the documentation doesn't necessarily keep up with that transition

timber flint
#

Thats right and totally makes sense. Thanks again for both of your answers! I'll keep it in my mind next time πŸ™‚

This had previously been working but after updating it broke

dark dirge
tulip juniper
#

the path, icon and title refer to the lovelace view rather than the vertical stack

dark dirge

then you're missing cards:

Perhaps I should make the yaml more explicit to resolve this

im trying to setup a set of buttons within HA to launch my harmony hub activities, but i cant get it to work even if i follow along the instructions

and it's complaining about something called "action"

#

yes, im not really in the mood for reporting/telling the people over att the site that something must be wrong since its getting late.

karmic tiger
#

You copied the example for a script/automation. You're trying to use it in a card, right?

#

Different syntax.

#

It also means you didn't share all of your config for that card. Share the full thing.

dusky orchid
#

i want it to go in a card when i get something to work

dark dirge
#

right, that's an action for a xcript/automation, not for a card

dusky orchid
#

i dont have a physical card yet, wanted to try and send just a command to see if anything worked.

dark dirge
#

are you trying to do this in a Lovelace card or automation/script?

karmic tiger
#

Or somewhere else?

dark dirge

when i get it to work i want it as a card on my frontend yes.

Hi! I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times before. But i could not get a hit on the Discord search on this room. I have made a copy of @Ludeeus's Bolierplate card and just changed all of the words "boilerplate" to the word "person" (trying to build a person card) and it builds nicely and starts up at port 5000. I have checked that the address is accessible from other computers on the local network and added it through the configuration -> lovelace -> resources config. But it wont show up in lovelace. What can be the issue here?

Can someone tell me how i can display the output of my python script in a card? The script makes some get.requests and parses the json response. I want the parsed data to be displayed in my UI. Any thoughts how to do this? (The HA docs about python scripts didnt really help me unfortunately..)

hello everyone

is someone using the internal URL to connect to home assistant ?

yes, but it does not work the way you think (if you have certificates defined under the http: #integrations-archived )

You don't

when you configure certificates, HA will only respond to https

https://IP:8123 will work, but you will get a certificate warning

Hi. I'm using horizontal stack cards to put all my humidity sensors together but i'm trying to only have one title but if I leave the 2nd one empty it just brings the right hand side cards up.

You could also leave the title off the first set on the left and instead put something else in a horizontal stack above them.

57 sensors on the mobile, surely this drains battery fair amount?

polar kelp

The many sensors are just extracting various individual bits of a large chunk of data that the phone keeps track of and provides to the app anyway.

that data is typically stays on the devices until it pushes to the oem ect, where now its pinging back to your home instants often no?

#

@polar kelp Are there any known compatibility issues between custom:layout-card and Home Assistant 0.117.x?

#

I have tried the latest Firefox and the latest Brave (Chromium based) version. When browsing to a custom:layout-card, it stays empty, i.e., nothing is shown. Hitting the reload button doesn't fix the problem.

tame dove
#

Any error messages in your logs @grim beacon

grim beacon
#

@tame dove Unfortunately, no.

#

Sometimes it works. However, when I reload the page, the output is empty.

#

@tame dove Do you use it as well?

tame dove
#

Sorry, I do not. Just a drive by attempt to help

#

You might try clearing the cache.

grim beacon
#

Clearing the cache doesn't resolve the problem either.

#

OK, that's weird. When I switch to a view with a "normal card", hit reload and then switch back to a view with a "custom:layout-card", all entities show up. However, when I hit "reload" within this card, all entities disappear again.

dark dirge
#

which exact version of home assistant are you using?

grim beacon
#

Home Assistant 0.117.6

#

However, I have experienced this problem with 0.117.0 as well. So I went back to 0.116.x where everything works fine. Today I thought, let's give a 0.117 a shot again.

#

Well I can remove custom:layout-card and go back to the default one. However, on the one hand, rewriting my entire config will be a lot of work. On the other hand, I really like this custom card and its powerful features.

#

Btw, for the record: I have installed it via HACS a long time ago (long before Home Assistant 0.100) and have never experienced any problems.

dark dirge
grim beacon
#

@dark dirge Thanks I will have a look now

#

Yep, that seems exactly the problem.

#

Seems like that I have to abandon "custom:layout-card" which I don't want because it has been always one of my most favorite extenstions. 😦

karmic tiger
#

Or stay on 0.116 until there's a fix πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

dark dirge
#

I've been in that same position several times

#

I've abandoned a number of cards due to debilitating issues

#

custom button card has some seriously cool layout capabilities

#

and there's a new "grid card"

#

(as I recall)

grim beacon
#

@karmic tiger Yep, that would be a solution since I don't need any of the new features of 0.117. Although it would be great to stay on track with the updates as much a possible because I am afraid that after upgrading (after skipping a couple of releases) many other problems might occur.

#

@dark dirge Do you have a link/image on how such a grid card will look like?

dark dirge
#

just that link

grim beacon
#

OK, I have played around with it. When hitting the "Refresh" option from Home Assistant, everything works fine. However, when hitting the refresh button from the browser (or pressing CTRL-R), all cards disappear.

dark dirge
grim beacon
#

Hmm, looks interesting.

0.118 beta is out now

gdoerr wrote: I did a little testing and do not believe this is an issue with this card but a general Home Assistant issue with custom cards. I was able to replicate the behavior with several different custom cards as well as with a very simple test card built from the Home Assistant documentation. The issue is probably related to the lazy loading changes made in HA 0.116.

So perhaps the card is fine but Home Assistant is the problem.

There is a known issue with custom cards in panel layout with 0.117.

Yeah, that's the one. It was fixed in 0.117, I believe, but unfortunately the fix missed panel-mode.

Hey i'm trying to integrate my home assistanto to alexa, i have everything set up except i can't seem to correctly access to home assistant from outside the network. i'm shown the login screen correctly, i put my credentials in, but then the site says "unable to connect to home assistant"

i have home assistant set up on a domain of mine, configured via reverse proxy (with letsencrypt) on an apache server

#

anyone knows why this happens?

karmic tiger
#

Did you also set up websocket rules for your reverse proxy?

soft lodge
#

oh, i'm a dumbo dumb, didn't do that

#

you happen to know what should i exactly forward?

#

it's just ws://baseurl?

karmic tiger
#

I didn't set up my reverse proxy manually, I used the nginx proxy manager. All I had to do was enable 'Websockets Support' when setting up a rule.

ok, thanks

now everything seems configured correctly, i go on linking my alexa account to home assistant but then alexa is unable to find any devices

#

@soft lodge 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).

Hi, is there a way to change a light icon ?

(check the bot message for my config)

Here I have 2 led strips from the flux_led integration but I would like them to look like led strip and not like light bulb.
I tried adding an icon field into both devices but it says config invalid, same problem if I put it below scan_interval

prisma quarry
#

Not sure if this is the right channel but I am trying to find a way to limit the min / max brightness of a PWM light. ie. the user should only be able to select between 40% and 100% by dragging the slider but still be able to turn off the light by tapping the symbol.

hello all, attempting to install this module for lovelace. https://github.com/mishaaq/sun-card. Installed via HACS, hpwever once setup, lovelace is showing the following 'Entity sensor.time_utc set for config entry "time" not found. Check your configuration.'. can anyone point me to whats missing.

Card-mod does not allow for styling the side-bar as of now. I've been meaning to add something for that, though.

anyone know of a way to stop the insane memory leaks in the browser when editing lovelace?

current workaround is edit in a text editor, paste, and close ASAP. then i have to close the tab to get it to drop back down

Never heard of that. What are you editing?

reef wadi

vertical-stack containing:
a glance card and card-mod containing:
various mini-graphs, climacell widget,

and some climate objects in a horizontal stack

this happens in a matter of maybe a minute or two to max out ram (8gb)

Sounds unusual. Have you tried in other browsers?

And have you checked what extensions you're running?

I am trying to install the esphome addon, but I don't see the "supervisor panel" their instructions mention. What do I need to configure so I can see this panel?

dark dirge
#

how did you install HA? You'll only have the Supervisor panel if you installed a Supervised install

#

they also have instructions for installing without the addon, so you can do that with whatever installation method you used

vapid field
#

@dark dirge I used the docker image to install HA

dark dirge
#

then it's not Supervised, and you don't get the Supervisor

if I choose one of the installation images, would that count as supervised install?

HA OS is supervised, yes.

Hello, could somebody tell me where to find the files for the built-in cards? I would like to see if I can edit the calendar card so that it shows a different language for "no entries for today"...Thank you!

mild veldt
#

@eternal flume localization is not that simple, you'd have to host your own version of the card as a custom card or the full frontend which I do not advise to do it that way

#

However, we do pass in the language as the locale to that module on construction, so it should translate based on that

#

Do you have your language set in the frontend?

Hi gurus. Im redesigning my lovelace dashboard and i've seen people using a card (probably button-card) to display if the lights in a room is on, but it also shows the number of lights in a neat little circle.
How would you go about doing that? I've looked but cant find anywhere a state that represents the number of lights in a room, so do I create a new manual sensor for that? Or does the light group do that? Im only using regular groups..

What is the best way to determine card-size without going into panel mode?

#

My cards keep shrinking and sticking in the middle of the screen when I add more of them. Panel mode is too wide.

#

The vacuum card is pretty square when alone.

#

but it gets progressively taller and thinner as you can see.

brisk osprey
#

@stoic rain I have never used panel mode and not sure what you want to do. But maybe try horizonal and vertical-stack to get what you want?

stoic rain
#

They are all in one horizontal stack, with the three buttons to the right being in another vertical stack within it.

brisk osprey
#

Ok. Try using a card that lets you define the size? Like button-card?

stoic rain
#

Button-card is good! But how can I use that one a camera entity (vacuum map) and the other card?

hallow mango
#

@stoic rain I would try using three vertical stacks rather than a horizontal stack of vertical stacks

#

it's not perfect but you could also use layout-card, which gives you pretty detailed controls over positioning, but I think it's a bit complicated

stoic rain
#

Grid Layout can't come soon enough, vertical-stack in horizontal-stack can get confusing.

#

it's not perfect but you could also use layout-card, which gives you pretty detailed controls over positioning, but I think it's a bit complicated
@hallow mango Thanks, I had layout on my list, but it looks a bit daunting.

Is there a way to get the current user name? I want to set up a card that reads "Good Morning Victor" or "Sarah" or whoever the user is. Use case would be mostly on mobile

A special template variable - user is set up for the content of the card. It contains the currently logged in user.

For example:

Hey people I added a rgb led strip to HA πŸŽ‰ . To drive the led strip I added the Lovelace light card. The problem with the card is, if I Set rgb or brightness to a certain value it does not get updated on the other devices. I am not sure if that has something to do with lovelace or MQTT setup

hallow mango
#

what's controlling the strip? wled?

hot gyro
#

quick question folks, when I am in the scripts editor and want to create a new script, it gives me name, icon and entity id - when I leave it as is I get an error eg ```Key malformed: invalid slug light___landing_on (try light_landing_on)

hallow mango
#

try light_landing_on

hot gyro
#

its autogenerated, that way, assumption because I use a hyphen in the actual script name, I have tried the suggestion, the entity id field still vanishes after saving the script

#

just found the option, you will need to edit the scripts.yaml to change it at a later stage by the looks of it

I'm a bit confused again... can I get a component like the mini-graph-card to show the setpoint history from a climate entity? It just seems like it gets confused when there are multiple attributes and you can't say which attribute to graph...

You could make a template sensor for the attribute you care about.

that's what I did... but there are quite a few of them and since the history_graph does manage I thought maybe I could make it work in the mini-graph-card too

Hello! Has anyone used the webpage card with a local html?

kind shellBOT
#

@untold stratus Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.

When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:

  1. What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
  2. What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
  3. Is the problem uniform or erratic?
  4. What's the exact error message?
  5. When did it arise?
  6. What exactly don't you "get"?
  7. Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?
vapid field
#

I have a html table in config/www/table.html

The documentation says I can reference it as /local/table.html, but that is not working

karmic tiger

Can you access that page if you do it outside of HA?

vapid field
#

No, it is just a file

#

Should I setup a local http server?

karmic tiger
#

No... HA is a web server.

vapid field
#

Oh I see

#

Thanks

#

I was just missing the address....

#

how dumb...

karmic tiger
#

If that works, you might be able to do it without the domain. If you use a URL that only comprises of the path, it's considered to be on the same host as whatever page you're viewing.

#

http:/local/index.html

#

This works

errant plover
#

can I use the frontend extra_module_url to pre load custom cards to prevent the annoying flash of red these cards produce when loading my views for the first time?

#

and if so, does it have to be a URL or can it be a file path? Because none of my custom cards are in /www.

polar kelp
#

Yes, and the same path rules as for lovelace resources apply.
HACS urls should work too, but you may have timing issues if you're too quick with reloading at startup.
Some stuff may not like being run before lovelace is loaded, though... which could happen

hallow mango
#

@vapid field did you figure out the graph thing?

#

@errant plover @polar kelp I'm missing something, is there a doc on that? I don't have any custom cards I made, just hacs ones

#

@mild veldt is there a roku integration? mine is powered by harmony

polar kelp
#

Huh?

errant plover
#

Thanks Thomas. I'll give it a go using the direct path rather than the HACS symlink/shortcut thingy.

wheat current
#

the direct path that does not exsist ;)
Both HA and HACS uses the same logic to serve a virtual path to a directory, only difference is that HA uses cache for the response

hallow mango

I'll check it out

I guess idk what I meant either πŸ˜…

@hallow mango yes, there is a roku integration

@wheat current technically correct. The best kind of correct.

I understand the words, just not what you intend.. you click a button on HA and it goes to a url? doesn't sound like a tasmota specifc thing

no so wat i need is the tap action to take me to the tasmota ip (which is stored in the sensor.basic_03_ip. But wen i use the above the url it generates is "lovelace/sensor.basic_03_ip" instead of the actual IP

if i do this it works

i dont want to hard code the IP here...

Then you need a custom card wrapper to inject templates to the key

#

not a tasmota specific thing, its mostly a noob yaml thing...

vapid field

you pulled the IP from the attribute to make that sensor? I actually didn't know they had IPs as an attribute

this is the Tasmota Plugin, it automatically pulls a bunch of stuff and makes them as a sensor...

OH.. I have sonoffs... they have the IP in an attribute... added manually (not integration).

I'm using Wake on Lan and the RPC Shutdown add-on to create switches for a couple of PCs. The one for my Plex PC works great. The one for my office PC works, and I have an automation to turn it on in the mornings, but the State of the Office PC never changes and reports off even when the PC is on. If I go to Developer Tools and manually set the Office PC switch state to on, it will wait a few seconds and turn the switch state to off. Both the Plex PC and Office PC are Windows 10. Anything I should look at to see why the state doesn't update for my Office PC switch?

Invalid config for [group]: value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['group']['light']['entities']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 11).

Can anyone point me in the direction as to why?

@cerulean prism probably should go into #integrations-archived, and you'll probably want to include the config you're having trouble with

How can I create a countdown timer to a due date? I know how to do a normal Timer (integration), but I would need to do the exact math to get a duration (can easily break). Rather, I'm thinking something like this for the card

var haConfStart  = new DateTime("December 13, 2020 10 AM PST");
var timeRemaining = haConfStart - DateTime.Now();

Specifically, I want to add a card for the Home Assistant conference πŸ™‚

karmic tiger
#

I haven't seen any cards that natively support a countdown. You could use something like the custom button-card and use a template that counts down for the display text.

Hello! I am currently setting up an entity card in my front end. The entity is a binary sensor so it shows true and false, but what I want to instead of displaying "true" and "false" display for example "connected" and "not connected". Would I need to set up another sensor for this or is it possible to do it already in the "raw code" of the card.

polar kelp
#

The best way would be to give it a device_class which corresponds to what you actually have.

#

Then the rest will happen automagically.

#

connectivity seems right

stiff steeple
#

Thank you! And let's say I wanted to show "printing" and "idle" (in another language).

polar kelp
#

I don't think there's a binary sensor class for that...

#

But using device class, the states would be translated automatically too.

#

If it's for a printer you may want a normal sensor rather than a binary one anyway, in case you have other states like "out of paper/filament".

stiff steeple
#

That sounds even better. So let's I would like to do something like this:

idle: x
printing: y
off: z
...

Where x,y,z is what is being displayed in the ui.

polar kelp
#

Depends where you get your data from and how you want to process it. Either way, it's better to do it in the backend, and therefore this should go in #integrations-archived.

Your Lovelace config never lives in configuration.yaml. When you manage the interface with the UI it’s stored somewhere in .storage

And things in .storage are typically in JSON

@ivory sigil There are different solutions depending on how you are going to use it. You could make separate dashboards with one view for each camera. Easy to include a direct link to just that camera in a notification, using the usual HA security, no fuss. But there are other ways as well.

No... you have one plug, and you're trying to add secondary_info by telling it another entity.

The error tells that "Invalid config for [switch.mqtt]: [icon_template] is an invalid option for [switch.mqtt]. Check: switch.mqtt->icon_template. (See ?, line ?)."

The answer is still the same. It's not the integration, you can't do that. If you want to ask for ways to do it with cards, ask that instead πŸ˜‰

worldly wharf

@karmic tiger I don't mind working on a HA development but it is just too much to look all over.

dark dirge

it's probably not necessary because there are lots of cards that allow you to use a template for the icon

I like keeping my entities simple and customizing the look and feel in Lovelace cards

Did you add the resource?

#

And you probably have a leading β€œ - β€œ that you need to remove

worldly wharf
#

I think that the resource is added. If it is still not added properly, please let me know.

dark dirge
#

That’s the wrong resource path

#

How did you install the card?

#

What you have there is neither of the two options in the docs

worldly wharf
#

I installed it by uploading the button-card.js file to the config/www/

#

Is it supposed to be config/local ?

dark dirge
#

Then follow those instructions in the docs no

#

No, that’s not what it says either

worldly wharf

Yes, that's what I was using for the installation.

I think you're better off installing the ssh addon and running the CLI command instead

#

Rumba?

I use the HA image on rpi. I wonder if it is doable to setup the ssh-proxy to get the access to the addon_core_ssh docker and send the files. I guess that samba seems to be much better. I appreciate that you guys setup such an interface as well.

dark dirge
#

and..done

karmic tiger
#

ssh-proxy to get the access to the addon_core_ssh docker and send the files
Uh, what?

worldly wharf
#

On the second thought, right, I do have the direct access the addon_core_ssh docker. I can just simply scp to that too. @karmic tiger Never mind. I thought that I had to go through the host machine and then reach addon_core_ssh.

How can I hide either one of the toggle switches?

#

I do not like to have two of them.

karmic tiger
#

The best way? Don't use the Entities card. Do it all in the custom button-card.

#

button-card is highly customisable. It can look however you want.

mild veldt
#

Just remove the card one

worldly wharf
#

I see. The reason I wanted to have the Entity card is because I wanted to have the modal window containing the switch history or such.

mild veldt
#

That's more-info, and could be set as an action e.g hold_action, for the button-card

worldly wharf
#

and I would like to have the toggle switch which Entity card can display as well.

#

So, is it possible to have the modal menu and toggle switch on button-card? @mild veldt

#

I like the current labels but only issue is how to hide the top toggle switch.
Thanks @mild veldt and @karmic tiger I found a way to hide the top toggle switch with show_header_toggle: false

Hi all...I have a climate.hallway entity, for which there is a hvac_action attribute that tells if my thermostat is in cool, heat, or off mode.

Howdy, I'm using the native calendar card but the size doesnt expand to fill the entire screen. is there a way to configure the size of the card?

mild veldt
#

@fluid dagger there is a panel on the sidebar for a fullscreen calendar, or you can set the view to panel mode

fluid dagger
#

I tried both of those, the calendar sidevar native dashboard is the size of a normal card, like a 3rd of the screen. and setting a view with the cal card to panel mode is closer but the height is squashed

#

like 75% or so of the browser window

#

let me see if I can apply css to the view

#

looks like style isnt supported to add to the card's config via the UI editor. is there a way to add just a specific view/card as yaml? or do I need to define the whole frontend only via UI configs or only via yaml files?

Hey, folks. I've been looking for a tablet interface for HASS and it is hard to find a current project that seems to be aimed at it, especially one with hardware recommendations. The Wallpanel project seems like the right software but I'm trying to find a good piece of hardware to host it.

Personally I'm using Fully Kiosk on a Galaxy Tab A 10.5"

It's the right blend of "too much power" and "too little power" and Fully Kiosk adds a lot of control, monitoring, etc

novel dragon

Hm. That's an option too.

fluid dagger

@dark dirge once I add lovelace.mode: yaml to the config file, that converts all the custom dashboards to yaml mode? the wiki make it seem like you should copy your whole existing setup

I'll have to look into it.

Want the tablet to dim when it's night, but come alive when there's motion? Got your back. Want to let the kids or a friend use it to play YouTube? That'll work after you unlock it.

#

about 8.5mm, 9.5mm if you count the roughly 1.0mm camera protrusion

so like 1-2mm thicker than the ipad

Yeah; it's doable. Certainly it'd be the right platform. Just trying to find the smallest one I can. I don't want a big control panel; I want a small display near my door.

Ahh. Ever considered maybe a switch to do that? Tasmota can do many amazing things such as long-press do something different, but retain "normal" functionality of a switch (toggle lights in the room, for instance) for short presses.

#

i've got one in the bathroom toggling the lights on short press and the fan on long press, for example.

#

you could do things on double-tap as well. just an idea.

Ok so, is there a way in lovelace to have all cards line up at the bottom of the screen? So that I dont have columns with different lenghts? I ljust can't find a solution for that....

How can I have 3 "1-column grid cards" fill up the entire width of my dashboard? The 3 grids are just put below one another instead of next to eachother

Hey everyone, I'm looking for something pretty specific and I'm struggling a bit to find an answer. I'm working on an Android app that allows you to control entities, call services etc, from the notification shade. I'm already able to do that through the API. However, I'd love to be able to show an Entity detail card in the app when you long-press the item. So basically I'd love to show a webpage of the HA UI, but does an URL like that even exist? Something like this: http://your_ha_instance.com/entities/light_your_light for example? Whatever I search, I only find information about including iframes and entities in the lovelace UI, while I actually want to show the lovelace UI in another app/page, so to speak.

#

If you're building something with a webview, just load in a tab of a dashboard.

#

I don't believe you can pull through a single card from a dashboard. Make your own UI if that's what you want

brave fjord
#

Hmm, that's what I was afraid of

#

Not very user friendly to make the user also configure a dashboard per entity he's using

#

If I'm making my own UI I'd basically be building lovelace from scratch πŸ˜„ seems kinda overkill

karmic tiger
#

Making a whole new app to replace HA seems overkill too πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

brave fjord
#

I'll post a little screenshot I think that will make it more clear

#

So basically, if you now hit the tile in your notification shade, it triggers a HA service, that is the core of what this app does. Doesn't replace the HA app, it just allows you to quickly toggle some lights through the notification shade.

#

I thought it would be cool to show the entity detail popup if you long-press the tile. To quickly go to the right HA entity and be able to change the brightness, for example.

karmic tiger
#

I dunno. I get what you're trying to do but I don't think hijacking elements from another app's UI is the way to do it.

#

You want something bespoke, build something bespoke.

#

There's an API you can use to get/set most of the information you want.

brave fjord
#

Yeah, I agree it's a weird edge case. But in the end all I'll be doing is showing a webpage in a popup. And that webpage would just be a part of what's shown in HA, which doesn't even seem that weird to me.

#

But perhaps a native popup with a simple slider and on/off functionality could look even better.

karmic tiger
#

If HA ever changes how the UI works, your app breaks.

#

They're far less likely to change the API.

brave fjord
#

Hmmm, perhaps I can link to the detail activity in the HA app instead

#

I'll see if that's a possibility, that pretty much gives you the same as I had in mind

Dumb question. What's the image path for a picture entity if I want to store the images on HA?

karmic tiger
#

Depends where they're stored πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

cerulean prism
#

I've tried several places in the HA install

karmic tiger
#

Typically, you can only serve up content from within your /config/www folder. It'll be available at /local

cerulean prism
#

ah

karmic tiger
#

That's a little different now that the media_browser integration is around, so read up on that too in case you want to use it to organise media.

#

D'oh, bot's napping.

cerulean prism
#

so it should be like /local/config/www/images/myimage.jpg

karmic tiger
#

/config/www = /local as far as your browser is concerned.

cerulean prism
#

didn't have a www folder

#

just make it i assume

karmic tiger
#

So a file at /config/www/photos/3.png would be available at /local/photos/3.png

#

Make it and then restart HA.

cerulean prism
#

ok rebooting

karmic tiger
#

You don't have to reboot the host, just restart HA.

cerulean prism

ayy it worked

Whats the best way to change from the circular dimming on a lovelace card to just a straight line, (like a long on/off switch) for dimming? I've found it to be hard to grab the dimming handle on my lights

idle lodge
#

does anyone know how to get light groups to show in the correct area?

dark dirge
#

only devices can be assigned to areas

idle lodge
#

I see, so the picture on the light groups documentation is just something done manually

dark dirge
#

yes

#

it might show up that way (expanded out) in one of the default cards, but I don't personally have any light groups

#

but it has nothing to do with areas

idle lodge
#

ok gotcha thanks

My guess is you're trying to use a card inside an entities card or picture-elements card.

digital lynx
#

are there any plans for making lovelace cards drag and drop. the up and down arrows which move the cards now dont really do what i want most of the time. It would be nice to just have 3 rows in which i can drag cards to a row or pace them between others. more or less the same way the android widgets move when changing them in the home screen.

I while ago, the Add card dialog started showing real life examples. My HA instance is usually blazing fast, but this dialog now takes 32 seconds until it accepts data in the search field and 21-22 seconds every time I reset the search criteria to look for another type of card. I love the idea, but it has made the dialog unusable. I have ~1600 entities, I guess that has an impact. Anyway, can the "populate with real data" function be disabled?

polar kelp
#

@digital lynx Short answer: yes

digital lynx
#

thats nice. just have to wait for it i guess 😁

polar kelp
#

Your picture-glance card needs to start with a - like all the other cards.

#

Also your indentation seems off, but it's hard to tell.

supple oracle
#

and the vertical-stack?

polar kelp
#

What about it? It's commented out

#

But it shouldn't be there. It's a card, so it should go with the other cards of the view.

supple oracle
#

but i want them be stacked

#

the 3 cards

polar kelp
#

Then you need ```yaml
views:

  • ...your view... it has title and badges and stuff and...
    cards:
    • type: vertical-stack
      cards:
      • ...one card in the stack
        ...more stuff about that same card
      • ...another card in the stack
        ...more stuff about the second card
      • ...third card in the stack and so on...
    • ...a card that's not in the stack
  • ...an entirely different view...```
supple oracle
#

so a vertical-stack is also a card type?

polar kelp
#

yes

supple oracle
#

thx

RETRY #1: My apologies, I clearly forgot to put that in a pastebin rather than inline.

Before I open a bug/issue on this. I want to make sure I'm not missing something. I have reversed/inverted state that is a ping > binary_sensor, and it's only showing the wrong state in the default lovelace GUI. Please see the photo - https://i.imgur.com/1bq4Wa3.png. The actual state and icon show properly for the entity itself, but it's exactly reversed on the GUI. Just in case, I've also included the relevant portion of my configuration.yaml file - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4bmPXkjVQ5/.
