And another reason to use HACS if possible.

Who told you that?
elder pendant
A liar, surely
karmic tiger
Can't use integrations on Docker? 😮
karmic tiger
HACS is just a custom component. It works like any other component.
It's just Python code 🙂
prime summit
or I'm confused what HACS is maybe
compact flame
@prime summit you cant use the store in Home assistant OS
prime summit
I don't use HAOS
compact flame
HACS = container?
prime summit
but I think I tried to get Add-on for something else to work and it was like....... oof
wheat current
Stop confusing each other
karmic tiger
HACS is just Python code. Not a container. Not an add-on.
It's a drop-in component (or integration in the newer speak) to add functionality that's not shipped with the main HA build.
Because it's a component (like your lights, switches, thermostats, etc), it works on all versions of HA.
It also only installs other components and cards, which also work on all versions 😉
Fortunately, the developer of HACS wrote in great detail what HACS does: https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/what

not sure where I'd be best to ask this: I'm taking a look at the wled "liveview", which is a page that shows the "peek" view, animating via javascript
I'm curious if I could somehow render this page to a camera entity and show it in a lovelace card
or equivalent
iron locust
Does anyone know why my pages always have a giant HACS icon when I scroll down? It's hard to work in node-red since when I scroll down in the debug log, when I reach the bottom the page continues scrolling node-red away to a giant HACS logo: https://i.imgur.com/CQwRpLI.png
oh disregard, I should have googled that first

Any card to expose an rgb light with effects to Lovelace?

Currently in the month view of the calendar card and panel, multi-day events will only show on the first day. There are a couple of issues on GitHub about this:
https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/7338 (closed)
and https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/7499
The comment on the first one suggests that this is as intended, is that actually the case? It seems odd that the only way to see if there is a multi-day event on a particular day is to click into the day.
karmic tiger
If the comment says so, why would it not be true?
If you feel it should do something different, raise either a feature request or a pull request.

hmm, if im creating a binary sensor template that would pretty much be keeping the state of something being enabled/disabled (an alarm), what do you think is the best way to classify that. Guess there isnt an alarm device class

It doesn't really matter. The actual state will still just be on/off

Hello, i have an error in logs, Translation Error: The intl string context variable "състояние" was not provided to the string "променен на {състояние}"
"състояние" is translated from state, is this meaning that {състояние} should not be translated and should stay original - {state} ?
wheat current
Correct, placeholders {some_value} should never be translated
pliant pulsar
{count} {count, plural, one {week} other {weeks} }
which one here need to be translated ? it is a mess in our translation

Good evening all,
I’ve just downloaded the IOS Theme for Lovelace and I’m trying to replicate this ‘Lights’ area within my dashboard.

Im using my first lovelace card - a picture card, I have put the picture in the media folder via the smb share, but what is the path to this folder ?
media/image.jpg doesnt work
karmic tiger
I'm not sure the media folder is meant for images. I'd put that in the /www folder instead.
I think the media folder is more for sending media via integrations like Google Cast. /www is your 'public' web folder for showing things on pages.
wise arrow
@karmic tiger @mild veldt Thanks for the response both. I’ve found both of these on GitHub but I can’t work out how to install them.
Install .js file as a module.
Resources:
-url: /local/slider.entity.row.js
type: module
karmic tiger
I would recommend installing them via HACS. It will download the JS file into your HA host and should set up the resources too.
It's also the easiest way to get future updates for those cards when they change.
vapid field
What am I doing wrong here, trying to point that picture entity to this image:

Both working
Struggling with Hive though..
Had it working before I ruined my dashboard and decided to do a fresh reinstall. But now adding hive: with username and password isn’t adding the thermostat to my board

Adding hive is an #integrations-archived thing. Once you've got the integration working, come back to your dash and see if you need to do anything else.
wise arrow
Thanks I’ll move over - cheers again @karmic tiger

Frontend. Do you have cards that utilize templates or lots of history or logbook cards?
hallow mango
lots of templates and nested cards are my likely suspects
mild veldt
lots of templates and nested cards are my likely suspects
depending on what card you're using, some render templates via a websocket to the backend (those that use Jinja) and that can be a performance hit for both the front and back if used a lot

While using the new logbook card I noticed a possible problem with the logbook logic when devices become available again after a period of unavailability. I wrote it up as a feature request here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/logbook-better-display-periods-of-entities-being-unavailable/252046/. However, I wasn't sure if I should report it as a bug or as a feature request. So I also wanted to share it here, where @raw brook might be reading.

I'd say that's a feature request rather than a bug, but it's a good idea.

@thick surge ok we'll save that for another time. have you read the doc on the weather card? https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/weather-forecast/?

Yeah. I'ma gonna go ahead and install hacs
smoky depot
well you can get the full forecast with either card
thick surge
I do have the full forecast displayed, but it's only showing the 3-hour forecast. I only wanted the daily version. This is with openweatherapi btw
For example, this is what I see right now: https://i.imgur.com/eiFKtGU.png

can the information from the Logbook be extracted somehow?
karmic tiger
Extracted how? For what purpose?
pine plinth
purpose not sure yet - basically if I take a log for one entity from 01.11 to 01.12 can I somehow extract that data into (lets say) a CSV?
karmic tiger
Then you're not asking about #frontend-archived. You should ask about data stuff over in #analytics-archived

thank you!
smoky depot
@thick surge you are setting the entity to weather.openweathermap ?
smoky depot
@thick surge odd. i just added it and it worked for me. when added through the UI it even has a slider for showing forcast and a drop down to add whatever secondary display under the temp you want it to be
how did you add openweathermap? throgh the UI intergration or through manual way of yaml?
thick surge
Through the UI integration.

Bdraco optimized the shit out of it so its nice and quick
tight goblet
Well, I'm glad it got picked up/noticed. Amazing, this community! I hope it won't be to difficult to implement as it seems to be a niche use case.
I also see how this could have wider implications. If it went as far as separating the state of an entity ('on','off','home','not_home', etc.) from the "availability_state" ('available','unavailable') of an entity.

The cards you want to be displayed conditionally need to be children of the conditional card.
You just have a list of cards where one of them is a conditional card with no contents.

Hope this is the right section - I'm trying to change the background (and text colour) of the hamburger menu icons/heading on the front end. I created a post on reddit yesterday - but just saw this discord existed so I thought I'd post here too. I've been basing my current theme off of the clear theme - and I've managed to style everything else to my liking - but the hamburger icon background (and subsequently the expanded version which contains the "Home Assistant" text) has a white background which sort of ruins the ffect im going for. I found it using var(--primary-background-color) as it's background colour (unlike the rest of the sidebar/header which use their own selectors), which means I don't think I can change it individually without affecting the whole page. I tried adding a custom CSS stylesheet which targets the .menu selector, although I think due to the way it uses web components/shadow roots - it doesn't effect it at all.
I tracked down this section of the source code: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/53214781e34e20d3fbe20ec4c33ba4832e9148ec/src/components/ha-sidebar.ts#L767 - would the only way to achieve what I'm trying to be to change its background-color there to use a custom variable? Or is there a better way to achieve what I'm doing?
Thanks so much. :)

So I'm using service.log to put things in the logbook as part of node red flows. The node lets me choose a domain to which determines the icon of the entry. Is there a way to get a list of ALL domains, including the ones I don't use? I saw there's a way to get ones the I do use.

Is there a way to disable touch on a webpage card?
I’m trying to get my nest cams to show on a card, but if I touch the card it pops up with the stupid “get more with nest” shit
karmic tiger
Sure, change the tap action: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/actions/#tap_action
Ah, that can't be used that a webpage card 😦
uncut fossil
Yeah sadly
karmic tiger
Normally with web design, if you want to stop someone interacting with something, you paint an invisible layer over the top that has no event handlers (no hyperlinks, etc).
uncut fossil
Can you do that with that card?
karmic tiger
So you may have to come up with a proxy that does that for you. Serve the Nest cam up via another page that you're in control of, and have your page paint that layer over the top.
karmic tiger
Not with that card, no. Maybe there's a custom card that'll help with this. It's the layering that you're after.
uncut fossil
Ok
karmic tiger
Hmm. Picture Elements card, maybe. Looks like it can take a camera feed as one of the elements, then you just need an overlapping transparent element with no tap action.
You could use its image element (https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#image-element) to overlay an image, then style it to be transparent. That should do the trick.

I don't understand how to use light groups.
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.group/
So let's say I have the following lights defined in my configuration.yaml:
light:
- platform: group
name: Kitchen Lights
entities:
- light.kitchen_accent_light
- light.kitchen_main
How do I add the group to lovelace so that it displays in the frontend?
cunning gorge
It should be auto-added to the default overview unless you've modified it, but otherwise you'd add it like any other light, using an entity card or button card or whatever
You should find a new entity called light.kitchen_lights
brittle vapor
Hm. There is no new entity. Do I have to restart/reload something?
cunning gorge
If you haven't restarted or reloaded homeassistant already, then yes. Go to configuration->server controls, click "check configuration" to be sure everything is proper, and then "reload groups, group entities, and notify services"
brittle vapor
That worked. Thanks. @cunning gorge

It's an ongoing discussion though as we don't really have a concrete alternative yet
carmine moth
Gotcha. Well. Shit. So many of the UI decisions I've made since beginning with HA (only a few weeks ago) have all heavily leaned on these rounded sliders for various purposes whether it be the look of the thermostats, dimmers, FX lighting, etc. Curious to know if it gets replaced what the alternative would be. I hope not mere horizontal sliders as those just look like they came from programmers, not UX people. Trying to find that happy balance.

Couldn't say. While I agree that the round sliders look nice, they are kind of chore to use for things like setting temperature and brightness; and fan speed as well.
Start with temperature; typically you want to move it 1 or 2 degrees. Using the round slider to do that typically ends up in you over/under shooting your target and having to slowly readjust. To me, just some clean +/- buttons near the current set temp makes a lot more sense.
Then look to lights. Same thing. I want to set the lights to 50% or any number besides 1%/100%. Getting to that number tends to be a chore. I think +/- buttons could work there as well, but would probably have them with a step option so that you can step 10% at a time or something.
And fans are even simpler than that as they just have a few set speeds to choose from

Admittedly you’ve totally got a point there. They look great, but aren’t always fantastic for “precise” movement like thermostats.

we'll see what comes of it. The other option is of course to keep the sliders and add additional buttons for such functionality
I believe that's what Google did (which is where the Material Design inspiration came from )
Yep, they did
karmic tiger
IMO, sliders should only be used when there's a large number of steps too. That gif on the PR is a little odd, with having only 4 states for each slider.
That's a job for radio buttons.
mild veldt
I mean, I get it. It fits the current aesthetic to use a round slider where you have a variable input. But the round slider is also a space hog, a chore to scale and imprecise for most applications.
I would personally vote for it to be removed
karmic tiger
Or at least for there to be a choice of styles.
mild veldt
that sounds like a maintenance nightmare 🤣

Hello all
I have some issues with my icons in lovelace, some of them do not change color depending on their state while others do.
For instance, some climates do and others not
The climates of my valves do change colors but my generic climates do not
mild veldt
@keen belfry state color is dependent on of course your state and depending on the card used, the configuration as well
keen belfry
Thanks for the answer. I'm using entities card in both cases for my climates.

I've just noticed that Lovelace views can have their visibility set per-user, but there's currently no way to do that with the Dashboards themselves, correct?
keen belfry
I'm not sure but I thing I figured out why climates icons are not behaving the same way. That may be due to the hvac_action attribute which does not exist for my valve climates.

Correct. Currently the only option is restricting it to admins only

Gotcha, thanks. For my immediate purposes I think I can do a lot of what I need by just setting default dashboard and hiding others from within the app/user preferences on my kid's phone.

And figured out the sensor icon issue too. A sensor has many values so it cannot has only 2 states. I changed them to binary_sensors and now it's working. Thank you very much.

Hi. I want to integrate the https://github.com/bramkragten/weather-card i am at the installation manual way. Which file is meant by "Add the following to resources in your lovelace config:"?
elder pendant
The one that it links to in the instructions 😉 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bramkragten/weather-card/v1.2.0/dist/weather-card.js
elder pendant
You need to download that js file. Right click the link and click "save link as"
shell topaz
yes, i have downloaded the files
and put into config/www
now i am at the next step 🙂

Are you using YAML mode or UI configuration for lovelace?

Hi, for some reason I fail to make a simple button which selects the next option of an input helper:
type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: input_select.select_next
entity_id: input_select.hallway_light_mode
data:
entity_id: input_select.hallway_light_mode
entity: input_select.hallway_light_mode
Can someone please point out why HA is complaining: Failed to call service input_select/select_next. must contain at least one of entity_id, area_id.
karmic tiger
Your data: needs to be service_data:
You can probably remove the first entity_id: too.
buoyant mango
Ah, I took the first entity_id from the docs about service calls (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/service-calls)
karmic tiger
Some service calls will let you define the entity at the 'top' level instead of under data as a shortcut.
I don't think it applies to all services. And certainly in the case of cards, you need it under service_data anyway.
buoyant mango
Now it works! Thx a lot!

Hi everyone, wondering if anyone has would should be a very simple answer to a common resource issue which I have looked up for hours with no luck. I have a core installation on a Pi. I am trying to add a custom card via a JS module and Lovelace can't seem to locate the resource even after it was added under the Resource tab. I've located the JS module under my /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components directory and the only thing I have figured out is that the web server isn't going there at all.... Would love any guidance or ideas... https://www.dropbox.com/s/q1ps4wjl9rb133a/error.png?dl=0
tawny vault
what card are you trying to add?
custom:content-card-example there no such card. This is literally the example from the dev guide on making a card
mossy linden
Correct. I have the script added as a . js resource. My issue is that Lovelace can't find/load the resource. Ty.
karmic tiger
Ctrl+F5
Also... that path it's trying to load looks way off.
custom_components is where you put custom integrations, not cards.
You also wouldn't specify the entire path from the root of your machine - only the relative external path that a browser will look for.
mossy linden
Agree, I'm just running a local load test.
karmic tiger
Load test? You're not testing anything, you're just doing it wrong 🤷♂️
If you're installing cards manually, put them into config/www, making sure to restart HA if www didn't already exist.
Then when you tell Lovelace where to find your resource, remember that config/www maps to local.
mossy linden
You hit the nail on the head. Can you just idiot proof for me, where does config/www go?
tawny vault
there should be a folder in your HA's config directory. If there isn't you can create it
karmic tiger
Only you know that, since you're not running the image-based install.
Find configuration.yaml and you'll know you're in config.
tawny vault
I'm still not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve though 😅

Check out AlarmDecoder.com and then the AlarmDecoder HA integration. I got this to work on a Raspbian core install with my old ADT Vista 20p panel. Pretty cool tech
tawny vault
Just saw the price of those adapters. That's insane
For that price might as well go with konnected.io
stoic widget
The only advantage I see to the AlarmDecoder thing is retaining your wired OEM keypad?
mossy linden
Quick overview and answer to both questions. Yes the AlarmDecoder board isn't cheap. I went with the simple USB serial board. It's WAY better than Konnected.io. Konnected.io replaces the alarm panel. They also have an "interface" board that wires directly into an addressable connector on the Vista 20p (which is the most common and legacy Ademcoalarm panel in the U.S.). After a ton of panel programming, the Konnected "interface" will give you zone readouts. The AlarmDeocer is better (much). Some brilliant guy figured out that you could emulate an panel "keypad" and simply build a board to connect to a panel. If you have ever seen an ADT Vista 20p digital keypad you know that it displays everything the panel has to show. And it of course accepts input keystrokes. The AlarmDecoder simply hooks in as a new "keypad" and can instantly see everything going on. You can also use the AD board to send commands right back to the panel (arm, disarm, chime, bypass, etc). It works. When it comes to HA, I've noticed that most alarm system integrations involve the developer rigging up a manual Alarm Display panel and basically building out code to emulate an alarm system. The AD and the integration I've set up allows LIVE access bi-directionally to the Vista 20p panel. It's pretty cool. https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3ujnpm4oq3rl98/AD_Vista20p_HA.png?dl=0

It's not a valid HA template... plus that card doesn't use HA templates, it needs JavaScript.

Can I get rid of the "padding" or white space to the left of a grid card? I would like to use all that negative space it adds to the left 🙂
If my view starts with a grid: it's getting pushed too far to the right imo
mild veldt
the grid card itself does not have padding? are you just talking about the positioning of cards in general in a view?
marsh sentinel
@mild veldt I'm just comparing two different views that I have. One that starts with a simple entities card and another that starts with a grid
no other customizations that I know of
the one that has an entities card will fit 4 columns whereas the grid one can only fit 3 columns on my screen
if it's not due to the grid card, I'm not sure what's causing it.. I haven't fiddled around with css or anything
mild veldt
@marsh sentinel I'm guessing you have a lot more cards in the other view. The layout stuff is somewhat finicky. I would wager if you added more cards you would see it eventually split to 4 columns. Not saying that is the right approach, but that is how it currently handles it
marsh sentinel
@mild veldt yeah, that's it.. I had to add some more stuff and it automatically got pushed to the left.. I thought I tried that but I must have added my test object to an existing grid 🙂

the entity filter, thanks...haven't played with HASS for 6 months and forgot it
type: entity-filter
state_filter:
- 'on'
entities:
- entity: binary_sensor.wyzesense_778b162c
I got this working now, how can i keep the entity-filter card always visible?
stoic widget
You could add a sensor that basically never changes state.
nova field
Hello, hopefully i have the right section, apologies if not. I have accidentally deleted a card which i had made a few modifications too. I have regular backups, but was wondering is it as simple as copying a particular file across or access to obtain the code? what file is the code from cards written too?
nova field
@dark dirge i apologise, but im still new to HA. I just go through the dashboard and add a card but then go and select SHOW CODE EDITOR
dark dirge
oh, you mean a configured card. If you're configuring Lovelace via the UI, the cards and layout are stored somewhere in .storage. I configure Lovelace manually through Lovelace, so I don't know how it easy it would be to grab it out of there
karmic tiger
If you already broke something, it's probably already updated to the new copy in .storage.
Old version is gone 🤷♂️
nova field
where is .storage? can i not grab it from my backup
karmic tiger
.storage is a hidden folder within your config.
nova field
found it. thank you. I will have a look at my back up and hopefully recover 😄
karmic tiger
It might be better to switch to YAML and use version control (like git) to track changes to config. Then you can always undo/recover changes.
nova field
yes, i shall look into that as well. Thank you
@dark dirge @karmic tiger All sorted... thanks guys. 😄 😄 😄

i see them listed in config / lovelace / resources

I seem to be in the habit of taking a snapshot, making changes, then restarting HA. So, I always suggest a restart after something you have changed doesn't appear to be doing what it should. Others say I am crazy, but 60% of the time, it works every time.
vapid field
lol well i've added these cards weeks ago
when i was browsing and meant to start using them but only now just realized they aren't available
several restarts since then

Kinda, not really. It's a little scuffed but you can use https://github.com/Villhellm/custom-sidebar

The downside to that is it requires a restart of HA for any changes

runic heath
Ok. Thanks. I asked in the #ios_and_mac-archived channel already and they told me to ask here 😂 I guess it used to be disabled in the past they said but now it’s not 🤷🏼♂️
dark dirge
do you have an example of that? I haven't noticed
runic heath
It usually happens whenever I go to type something. Like if I’m trying to quickly edit an automation while I’m away, it zooms in on the text entry and then when I try and zoom out by pinching, it’ll often make the page refresh, which means I then lose my changes
karmic tiger
When you browse your dashboard on Chrome/Firefox/IE/Edge, it doesn't do that.
When you browse it in the app, it does.
It's the app.
dark dirge
weird. it doesn't do it on my phone, but it's an XS Max
karmic tiger
The apps are just webviews but that's where you'd lock any zooming.
dark dirge
if I edit the description of an automation, for example, it just pops up the keyboard
runic heath
Dang.... guess I’ll try the app again. Thanks guys
prime summit
Is there a way I can display a reading from a temp sensor in C while leaving the rest of my stuff in F?
prime summit
does that actually change the units, or just change the postfix?
oof, this was an auto discovered MQTT sensor
and I see the data is coming in as C in the 
->States
but then in the card it gets converted to F
oh wait, JK
it is coming in F
dark dirge
It should convert the value. It’s one of the few times when the unit_of_measurement is important
prime summit
so if it was an auto discovered device, I didn't config it at all in any yaml
can I adjust the attribute still?
dark dirge
You can still customize it
prime summit
ok, using customization.yaml file or just in the lovelace card code?
dark dirge
customize.yaml, or through the UI
prime summit
hmm... does not seem to have changed it
I set Unit of measurement in the Customize UI for my entity to °C
hmm, apparently the º in the °F was not the correct UTF8 code
Now it's working great! Thanks

Hi i have a sensor with multiple attributes and can't figure out how to place them on a lovelace card

Does anyone have any ideas on how to create a graph/element like this in Lovelace? https://ibb.co/b58R5WS
The idea is to have a visual representation of my thermostat's settings, with min, max, target, and current temperatures. None of the cards I've looked at seem to work for this use case.
karmic tiger
You're probably looking at using something like the custom button-card, which despite its name can actually present almost anything you want.
golden eagle
@karmic tiger I was looking at that actually, but didn't know if there was a better/simpler way. If I have to manipulate button-card into doing it, then so be it.
karmic tiger
Well if there's no current card (default or custom) that does what you want, you only have a couple of options. One is button-card, the other is to create your own custom card.
golden eagle
I'm not sure I have the time or skillset for the latter. Button-card it is. Thanks!

I am using Entity filter to display when door locks are unlocked, or when windows are open.

Can I see what a card does for a particular button? I have a card that's autogenerated for my Panasonic OLED, and it has a button to switch it on/off. It always works. But when I manually use self.turn_on in AppDaemon, it doesn't work. The Viera integration has issues and so that might be why (the TV also shows as always on even when it's off). But the button on the card always works, and I'd like to know what it does so I can replicate it.
I tried editing the card, but all I can do is re-order things or remove it.

Hello,
I have been working on getting lovelace to work properly on an iPad 2 with 9.3.5 and thanks to an update some time ago it is able to properly load the gui. However, entity cards with images do not load and show a grey image with a small image icon. I selected images from my web server, but perhaps there is a limitation to the hardware of the iPad, which cant handle the current configuration. Is there maybe an alternative solution to get images to show up on the iPad? Interestingely the RING camera view does show properly.
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to have one auto login without a user? Say for a tablet so I don't have to wander around each time the power goes out?

That's what I've heard. I must admit, it's one heck of a lot more difficult to setup than I expected after all I'd read

I've got a single sonoff basic r2 that I flashed Tasmota to and it's taken more about 8 hours to get it sort of working
onyx wolf
Yeah, that SetOption19 thing screwed me up for a few hours lol
onyx wolf
Do I have to set that manually after each boot of the Tasmota?
Ahh. I get it. The browser saves the user/password so I'll still have to go around to each tablet after a power failure. Dang it.

No no need with tasmota

What could be the cause of ex Automation UI stop showing the entity_id tab when I select a service? Like this: https://imgur.com/a/7mSBug7
YAML looking like this. Not sure why there is a difference https://imgur.com/a/7brTTu2
data: {} should not be there right?
Removed data: {} from the buttom automation and now it seems to work for all my automations. The thing was that the bottom automation stopped every automation to show up correctly in the UI editor. And the bottom automation was also made in the UI editor so I'm not sure what went wrong here
Nope, not working. When I try creating a new automation it just do the data: {} and breaks the editor again

hey, is it possible to create template sensors from the frontend directly?
I have a slightly related second question, too: what's the proper approach for "binding" a sensor value to input_number element in the UI? the concrete example I'm trying to do is to allow modifying the "intensity" attribute for WLED lights from the frontend
so my current understanding is that I need four separate steps to make that happen:
- create
input_numberwhich reads the current state from the light, - use sensor template to extract the state attribute containing the value for #1,
- bind the extracted sensor to the #1's
input_numberand - create a button to do a service call based on the value of this sensor
am I on the correct track here? 🙂

I could be misunderstanding, but the default entities card has a show_header_toggle which defaults to true. This will control all the entities in that card. https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/

Hi everyone not sure if this is a right channel so feel free to send me to a correct one. I have an ONFIV capable camera (used as a baby monitor) and have integrated it via ONVIF component in Home Assistant. I also have configured Nginx Proxy Manager, so I am able to access HA instance remotely via a (sub)domain I own with a LE cert. Now, I want to be able to send the video stream to an Android TV (Sony Bravia with Chromecast built in). I am going through the documentation but I cannot find a way to stream the camera to the TV directly. Google Cast integration casts only the views/dashboards but I am trying to cast the stream. Are you able to point me in a right direction, pretty please 🙂 ?

You can customize those entities with the assumed_state variable: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.switch/. Set assumed_state: false for those entities to get the desired outcome.
This can also be done through the UI under Configuration -> Customizations

Hi everyone, got a quick question about the Plant Status card. Does anyone know if it's possible to put those cards into a grid? When I do so it scrunches the text of the 4 parameters (moisture, illuminance, etc) into the center of the card, and I don't see a way to spread them out more. Seems like a waste of space to me

Hmm... I usually do all my configs through YAML, but when I tested one through the UI it did work. Though, it seemed to not save sometimes. Try refreshing the page and see if it actually saved the Customization changes.

The the assumed_state: false should not be necessary when the assumed_state checkbox is available.

besides that... i was double doing it since it didnt seem to work the first tinme

You might have to clear browser cache, then change the value of assumed_state. That is what I had to do to change assumed_state back to false.

Hi guys,
I'm having a hard time adding a custom lovelace card.
So I have a barometer.js file, that I placed in /config/www/barometer.js on the Resources page I added the file as /local/config/www/barometer.js then in the UI editor I added a custom card with the following config:
entity: sensor.pressure
apitoken: 'xxx'
apiBaseUrl: 'localhost:8123'
minmaxhistory: 3```
And the card doesn't appear, I get the following error: `Custom element doesn't exist: barometer.`
What am I doing wrong? Is there a button to reload the resources?Try clearing your web browser's cache. I had the same problem with a different custom card and that fixed it

Possibly, though I did not think you needed anything in your config yaml if you are using the UI to change entity configuration. When you change it via the UI it should create a customizations.yaml file if it does not exist.
