Hello, iam trying to use a custom Javascript file (.js) in my www folder. I added as a resource to lovelace. I try to use it in the https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card, but i get the error ButtonCardJSTemplateError: ReferenceError: toStringElapsed is not defined. Has someone an idea? This worked for me on my old setup (with HA v103) but not on the newest HA version/ Button card

the .js file gets included in HA with
<script async="" type="module" src="http://home:8123/local/time-helper.js"></script>
might that cause the problem? In the version prior, there was a javascript type as an option for the resource. But not anymore

As far as i read, this might be a scope problem?

solemn narwhal Dec 16, 2020, 1:26 PM

If you just add the input_select to an entity card, I think it will do what you want. It displays the current state, but you have to click it and bring up the more info before you can change it.

digital lynx Dec 16, 2020, 1:28 PM

you are right this is the case for a singe entity card but when using a multiple entity card i dont think this is possible is it?

If you are putting it into and entities card, I do not know of an "easy" way. What I would do is extract the current value of the input_select into a sensor with a template and display that with the entities card. As an alternative, you could also use something like the restriction card (https://github.com/iantrich/restriction-card) to prevent accidentally changing the value.

digital lynx Dec 16, 2020, 1:48 PM

Thanks for the info. I think creating a sensor is a good idea

I've got two cards in one particular view. One is a pair of graphs over 24 hours and the other is the same graph, but over 48 hours. I noticed that the 48 hour graph only shows 24 hours of data.

#

In trying to figure out why, I realised that if I save the 48 hour card, both cards work properly, but if I subsequently save the 24 hour card, the 48 hour card becomes a 24 hour card.

#

Is this expected?

Oh I thought you were using YAML mode cause of the way the code was formatted that you gave me. Did not know you could share an entire view that was edited via the UI. Learnt something new 😀

Unfortunately, I am unable to re-create your issue. I have setup my own graphs configured via the UI and save them each separately and clear cache between. They all still maintain the appropriate time scales. Sorry...

From the developer panel I can see that when calling /hassio/app/frontend_latest/entrypoint.df099659.js it returns ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. What might this be related to?

is it \config.storage\lovelace (no extension)?

do i have to restart HA after restore or is a reload web enough?

karmic tiger Dec 16, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Well when you restart, it'll probably just load what HA thinks it should load. You'll want to stop HA, restore things, start HA again.

#

Don't count on your changes taking priority if HA is still running.

ha. Changed that, to no avail- they are all still their same color.
Since icon_color: true should have fixed it.... is there a way that I could put something in there that is not a boolean, but could be something to set all icons to 'blue' or something?

mild veldt Dec 17, 2020, 2:43 AM

Active color is dictated by the theme

Or light color

bitter anvil Dec 17, 2020, 2:46 AM

that makes sense--- i see 2 of my lights that are not at 100% have a different color...
the 4 that are not changing color had their default icon changed from 'switch' to 'light' that probably has something to do with it

When I create the 24 hour one, the 48 hour one changes to only show 24 hours.

Spotify integrated media controls (pause, play, next, etc.) require a Premium account. If you do not have a Premium account, the frontend will not show the controls.

They are encrypted, so you can't recover it.

1: Make a backup!! 👈
2: In <config>/.storage/ delete the files auth, auth_provider.homeassistant, onboarding, and maybe person
3: Go to your interface and set up a new owner user.

royal spear Dec 17, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

OK I figured out the theme problem now. If a dark mode theme is set, then it will be applied, no matter if if you set a light theme. To actually use the light theme selected the dark mode has to have the theme set to 'none'.

#

So, if a Dark theme is set, it will be applied until set to none, then the light theme will take over.

Hello, i would like to remove the default view of lovelace. It says you should set another view as standard and it be removed, which works. But this means whenever a new device opens HA the default view is shown until someone changes the standard view for that device. Or am i missing something? So for example if friends check the site with their device, the default view is always shown..

What worked for me was changing the entity name

Configuration > entities > device > name

After changing the name there it said "updating in home assistant in 30 seconds" or something alone those lines

Typically I'm pretty good at the google machine, but I can't even brain it lately... In Lovelace, how would you go about having icons instead of names for the View tabs at the top?

#

I'm assuming Icon (Optional) but which list is that, the mdi:'s

small compass Dec 17, 2020, 6:40 PM

I used last-changed with multiple-entitiy-row, obviously something changed with the last update, everything reports "Never" now. Did something change with recent update, could use a hint /url.

@jade schooner Header picture, maybe, but I've seen in other's screenshots that they have icons instead of text.

I must be missing something in the docs I have a sensor with the following state:

pickup_types:
  - greenbin
  - recycling
next_pickup_types: []
next_pickup_date: '2020-12-25'
friendly_name: recollect_waste

But when I make an entiy card and pick the attribute type pickup_types it shows up as greenbinrecycling

Is there not an intelligent way for the card to parse the array?

charred fable Dec 17, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Oh seems I can do this with markdown!

#

content: |-
  {% for i in state_attr('sensor.recollect_waste', 'pickup_types') %}

fathom vault Dec 17, 2020, 9:10 PM

not sure but i think its tricky, because the layout decides the card size, and then the card displays itself according to that size

I don't think you can change the card size, but you can change the layout. Just found this: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card
Maybe it suits your needs. Or try to use panel mode. As far as I understand the first card gets rendered full width.

bitter bolt Dec 17, 2020, 10:51 PM

i ended up finding card-mod, too. it allows for custom css and allowed me to simply define height and width % increases. i'll have to play around with it and see how it renders on different resolutions and displays i have, though.

hi how can i add custom mdi or custom icons as icons? ps am not looking for entity_picture coz i need it for my map

full pasture Dec 18, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

Oh @flat steeple I know of at least one HACS integration "fontawesome" that lets you integrate the fontawesome icons at the least - but so many of those appear to be "pay to use" icons unfortunately.

#

I don't know if this helps - you may already know this, so disregard if you do! But I just found out yesterday that if you add the "hass:" prefix, and remove "mdi-" from the following list of icons, they all are built in: https://cdn.materialdesignicons.com/5.3.45/

#

Or is your goal to have icons of your own creation in there? I'll be quiet if that's it, I don't know how you integrate your own icons heh

@viral sorrel Yes. Custom things can be put anywhere. Core things require something like this to work out of place https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-hui-element

viral sorrel Dec 18, 2020, 7:36 AM

#

I kept trying to copy the formatting of the example on the page I linked but I couldn't get it to work.. I'll try again now

#

- type: entities
  title: Entities card
  entities:
    - climate.heat_pump_office
    - type: custom:entity-attributes-card
      entity: climate.heat_pump_office
      filter:
        include:
          - climate.heat_pump_office.fan_mode
          - climate.heat_pump_office.swing_mode

#

that is not valid

#

or at least iit claims no card found

polar kelp Dec 18, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

Does it work if you use it outside of the entities card?

viral sorrel Dec 18, 2020, 7:42 AM

Are you using the GUI editor?

viral sorrel Dec 18, 2020, 7:43 AM

polar kelp Dec 18, 2020, 7:43 AM

#

Did you try saving despite the warning and refresh the page?

viral sorrel Dec 18, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

yes.. I also tried changing it to be more like other entities cards and at least the first entity before the custom card came up

#

type: entities
title: Entities card
entities:
  - climate.heat_pump_office
  - type: 'custom:entity-attributes-card'
    entity: climate.heat_pump_office
    filter:
      include:
        - climate.heat_pump_office.fan_mode
        - climate.heat_pump_office.swing_mode

#

it then gives me the error Attempted to assign to readonly property.

#

and shows the code in a red box

#

The value of "entities.1" is not supported by the UI editor, we support on the left

#

with a bunch of other info.. but I'm editing yaml.. so I would have thought it would work

polar kelp Dec 18, 2020, 7:47 AM

@iron marten Yep. Different one for each wall mounted device too. I only add what I want one each one not everything everywhere.

karmic tiger Dec 18, 2020, 5:24 PM

Yes. It's tricky to come up with a single view that works well across each screen size and is still intuitive. I have a tab that I use frequently on my mobile that's basically a load of horizontal and vertical stacks so I can be in full control of the scaling/layout instead of the auto-column stuff.

karmic tiger Dec 18, 2020, 5:30 PM

The graph doesn't care where the data comes from. That's the integration's job.

Feel free to use your router's data if that's what you're after.

Oh i know but I’m talking about what’s possible with HA

#

Ie. Whats already been done

karmic tiger Dec 18, 2020, 5:31 PM

That is possible if the UPnP integration pulls it

My router only gives basic upload/download speeds. Some give a lot more info.

iron marten Dec 18, 2020, 5:32 PM

Too fine grain for me atm lol, I’m still getting started, I’m sticking with premade/simple solutions at first, leave the bespoke stuff for next year

Tomato is like dd-wrt without needing much effort. More of a happy medium between consumer and dd-wrt. Still very powerful.

The resolution on the fire 8 tablet is 1280x800 whereas hour desktop is likely higher. This will cause the display to look different. You will likely need to create a different view for the tablet to make it look the same.

You can create a new dashboard and set it as the default on the tablet. That way it will always use the landscape version without a new user. https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/dashboards-and-views

In all seriousness... Forget code, forget hypotheses. Gotta have more info to find an answer.

limpid apex Dec 19, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

I'm back

#

It's not a sensor

#

Before the last HA update it wasn't showing this big 0C

karmic tiger Dec 19, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

What climate integration are you using? What does its state show in devtools > States?

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Smartir

#

temperature_sensor: sensor.temperature

#

I haver this in my confg. But i dont actually haver any sensors

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

You'll have a climate entity.

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

platform: smartir
name: Ar Condicionado
unique_id: ar_quarto
device_code: 1381
controller_data: home/ponteir/commands/MQTTtoIR
temperature_sensor: sensor.temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.humidity
power_sensor: binary_sensor.ac_power

#

The last 3 options are defaults. I didn't configure any of that. But my controller works fine, it's just that now it shows 0C. I think before the update it didn't show anything, just a smaller number for the temperature setpoint

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

Go to devtools > States, check sensor.temperature. What is its value?

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

It seems There is no entity called sensor.temperature

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

No sensor = no data = big fat 0 on your thermostat card.

#

You need to fix your #integrations-archived first.

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

But I don't plan on acty using any sensors though. Can I make it so it doesn't show 0?

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

How will it know what temperature to show without a sensor? 🤔

#

How will it know if it's reached the target temperature without a sensor?

#

If you only want to send commands, don't use a thermostat card. Use #automations-archived or something.

wintry estuary Dec 20, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

@limpid apex Just remove temperature_sensor part?

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

Ok

#

Will try that

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Wouldn't be a valid climate without a temperature.

wintry estuary Dec 20, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

From UI edit the card and remove the temperature part

#

Aah

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

But that's still an #integrations-archived problem.

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Alrighty

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Thermostats need to know the temperature. The whole point of them is to set a target setpoint and to enable/disable heating or A/C until that setpoint is reached.

wintry estuary Dec 20, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

So you are using thermostat?

#

Confused I am

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

I'm just using a card that works as a remote to control my AC

#

It's an IR bridge

wintry estuary Dec 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

So no sensors as you said

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Yea

karmic tiger Dec 20, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

So... #automations-archived

#

It's not a frontend issue, take it to the right channel.

limpid apex Dec 20, 2020, 12:25 AM

ºC only makes sense to us as a unit because we assign some meaning to it.

rayzor, sounds like you might be running into what I am just starting to run into. I figured there would be an easy way to limit dashboards by user (so I can, for example, create a wall panel user login on my wall panels with that user and only have access to what I want wall panels to have access to). I don't yet see an easy way to do that, which is surprising me (I am still reading documentation though).

this is probably really simple, I think I'm just missing something

I've converted my lovelace to yaml config and I need to include my hacs installed frontend resources

I have:

    type: module

#

but I'm getting the error:

Custom element doesn't exist: simple-thermostat.
type: 'custom:simple-thermostat'

#

the type is what I have in the config in case that matters

#

I also try what hacs tells me to use too but it doesn't work either:

url: /hacsfiles/simple-thermostat/simple-thermostat.js
type: module

There is no universal best anything. There's always trade-offs, you need to explain:

Where in the world you are
Your budget
Any protocols that you'd prefer (eg Zigbee) or want to avoid (eg Zigbee)

I had a question I was hoping someone could shed some light on an issue I’m having with older iPad 4 devices running iOS 10. If I change the icon to another mdi icon for a switch for example, it shows up as changed on my Mac and a new iPad Pro, but on the older iPads, it always just shows the lighting bolt for the icon no matter what I do. I tried the HA app, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and they all show the same thing. Since it is just an image, I would think that they should be able to see the different image for the switches. Anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix it?

#

I was able to see that I am able to edit an entity directly and change an icon there. Then it changes on the iPads. While that is better than nothing, it tells me that the iPads are indeed capable of showing the icons and that it must be a bug of some kind that when I change the domain for the switch with a specific icon, that they aren’t changed on the iPads.

Not sure to be honest. I have the same issue with a counter I graph using history-graph. I suspect maybe it only shows graphs for certain unit types such as Celcius etc

it just needs to be explicitly defined in config

#

I can change the code in the dev tools for a switch. I can easily change the icons and they change instantly on the iPads.

#

But they do not like anything in the template area when you have code like this: icon: if (state === 'off') return 'mdi:pine-tree'; if (state === 'on') return 'mdi:pine-tree';

what are you trying to do?

Hey guys, just looking for a general direction to start. I'm using the prayer times integration, but it's in UTC. I can't seem to find a doc for this, but I'm looking to convert my card to my local time and would need to modify the input from the sensors to display correctly. Can somebody link me a good doc to read up on how to do this?
Current attributes are:
friendly_name: Asr prayer
icon: 'mdi:calendar-clock'
device_class: timestamp

The card is receiving something like this:
20T06:00:00+00:00

This doc has been very helpful, but I don't see a way to modify output of time https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/

I found an option for timestamp_local, but I'm not sure, does that go in customizations? Do I override the attribute? Do I put this in the customizations page or customizations.yaml?

fathom vault Dec 21, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

I think it would go in your template, as a filter

#

{{ value | timestamp_local | timestamp_custom('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M') }}

swift halo Dec 21, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

fathom vault what are you trying to do?

To me? I'm need a button that assumes the same state regardless how many times it has been pressed for safety reasons. Toggle has the disadvantage that it can result in multiple on-offs in a row if the user gets impatient

coarse flame Dec 21, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

fathom vault I think it would go in your template, as a filter

Hey carpii, thanks a lot! Since I haven't created a template for this, I would assume I just add my entity to configuration.yaml such as:

  - platform: template 
    entity_id: sensor.fajr_prayer
    template_value:{{ device_class | timestamp_local | timestamp_custom('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M') }}```

#

something like that?

fathom vault Dec 21, 2020, 1:08 AM

value was just a placeholder, youd need to change that to your sensor value which returns the UTC datetime

#

also need a template entry

#

in your sensor

coarse flame Dec 21, 2020, 1:10 AM

AH gotcha the attribue device_class is using timestamp

#

Something like above?

fathom vault Dec 21, 2020, 1:11 AM

where are you trying to display this datetime? You already have the fajr_prayer sensor so you should be able to just format that using a template (without creating a new sensor)

coarse flame Dec 21, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

fathom vault where are you trying to display this datetime? You already have the fajr_prayer ...

I'm just using an entities card with all of the sensors listed as entities

#

I'm working off some example of template, so I may be off with the sensor: part. I figured that's just describing what you're working with and not adding a new sensor.

#

Would I just specify the platform is template to only add this as a template or just add : template_value: <insert code>

fathom vault Dec 21, 2020, 1:17 AM

you could try adding state_color: false to the button, which will mean the button doesnt change color when the entity turns on/off. Is that what you want?

alternatively just don't tie it directly to an entity, and have a dummy button which just calls a service

I tinkered around a bit more with it, but not getting the correct output.
Sensor.fajr_prayer uses device_class: timestamp and returns UTC time.
My goals are to:

Use this in a card to display what time this is i.e. 6:40 pm
Adjust the time from UTC to local.

I just added this to my configuration.yaml

-platform: template
 sensors:
    sensor.fajr_prayer:
      friendly_name: "Fajr"
      value_template:    {{ (states('sensor.fajr_prayer') |  timestamp_custom('%I:%m', True)) }}

#

I used timestamp_custom for the second argument which is local time. Seems the sensor maintains it's UTC time with no change.

If your sensor doesn't already know a unit, you'll need to customise that entity at the sensor level, not just 'hack' it at the card level.

karmic tiger Dec 21, 2020, 3:34 PM

Nope. Use anything you want. ºF, ºC, bananas, toasters...

But if you use a measure for temperature, use the same measure on all sensors that report temperature... then they can be graphed together 🙂

So that's just two vertical stacks... first card in the first vertical stack is a horizontal stack (with two cards).

supple oracle Dec 21, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

ok so i need 2 vertical stacks or just one?

karmic tiger Dec 21, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

If you want to always have two columns, you'll have two stacks.

#

Just remember that when you're on mobile, it'll try to put the second stack under the first. If you want to always see two columns, you have to wrap the whole thing in another horizontal stack 🤣

If I add them in a horizontal stack, they are only half size anymore

Still unable to get the correct output. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Sensor.fajr_prayer uses device_class: timestamp and returns UTC time.
My goals are to:

Use this in a card to display what time this is i.e. 6:40 pm
Adjust the time from UTC to local.

I just added this to my configuration.yaml
-platform: template
sensors:
sensor.fajr_prayer:
friendly_name: "Fajr"
value_template: {{ (states('sensor.fajr_prayer') | timestamp_custom('%I:%m', True)) }}
I used timestamp_custom for the second argument which is local time. Seems the sensor maintains it's UTC time with no change.

Hi all.. Ever since a few weeks ago, my frontend flickers really bad whenever something pops up in the interface or if I open up drop down lists in automations for example.

I'd like to have a picture-entity card, but have a few camera entities, and change them out based on the most recently updated... any ideas?

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

@hallow mango conditional card

#

alternatively if you wanted to go nuts (and you have object detection) you could show the one that last detected something useful
rather than just bushes/shadows

#

or just cycle through them?

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

yes, I'm running frigate

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

not sure how detailed I could help in HA, but you could use node-red

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

it creates a camera entity for that shows an image of the last object of each type

#

so a camera for person, one for car, etc

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

and look at the last time the state was updated, and use that to parse into a sensor / entity node sensor.last_active

#

then use the conditional card based on that value

#

does anyone know for a custom:button-card when using custom_fields, what controls the size of the 'area'

#

custom_fields:
      additional_info:
        - position: absolute
        - right: 5px

#

is it just height and width, or is there size as well instead

#

ah using ha-icon style="height: 30px;" seems to have worked

how could I make that sensor?

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 4:20 AM

do you have node-red?

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

nope lol

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

ah - then you're going to have to get clever with yaml

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

yeah, I'm ok with that lol

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

i'm learning to code, but node-red is flow based

#

do you have a sensor for motion / object detected for each camera?

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 4:22 AM

#

yeah

#

they give an object count for each object detected

#

2 people, 0 cars, etc

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

so an automation that looks at all the sensors, and names sensor.latest_motion something like front. Then have a conditional card that shows camera.front

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

👍

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

there are people much smarter that could help look at the time since last detection etc

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

I bet I can figure that out

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

but thats the way i'd do it

#

then if motion comes from another camera, that would then show

#

good luck 🙂

karmic tiger Dec 22, 2020, 11:31 AM

Not if you want it to be displayed in other places.

You can disable entities if you don't want the Lovelace-managed dashboard to show it... but then you can't display it elsewhere.

Presumably you'd just use a JS template for the state: key too

  return 'On';
if (states['light.hallway'].state == "on")

return 'Auto;

karmic tiger Dec 22, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

If you're running a version of HA that supports then, there are #add-ons-archived for GUI editors.

#

Otherwise, I'd recommend using VS Code on your main machine and installing the SSH extension.

#

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh

#

I actually prefer the latter now that I've used both.

swift halo Dec 22, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Ah, ok, I'm not running hassos, only the official docker image. I'll go for the latter, that is wellknown

#

BTW have you tried the docker integration and access the file directly through the container, or only SSH?

karmic tiger Dec 22, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

The extension is great. You can still browse the folder tree, use a terminal windows, and edit files... all in one place.

#

Through the container? Please tell me you have your config files mapped to a location outside of your containers 😟

swift halo Dec 22, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

of course. I might be a dumb n00b to HA, I'm very experienced with docker and containers 😄

karmic tiger Dec 22, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Phew

#

You don't need to go via a container then. Just browse to wherever you mapped /config

swift halo Dec 22, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

VSCode now supports connecting directly to a running container, if that is wanted https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/attach-container - in this case it doesn't really matter which approach is taken

karmic tiger Dec 22, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Nope, you don't want that

#

And I think that only applies on the same machine.

#

Plus let's say you need to fix config because HA won't start... you'll need to edit files on the host anyway. The SSH method is awesome.

I have around 30 pcs of binary motion sensors. I want to display them on lovelace ui with entity filter. Showing them only, which is currently active. The problem the active: are only showing for 1 second and then disappears. Probably because of the speed of timout of the IR motion sensors. I want to display them instead of 1 second, more like 3 seconds which is nicer for the eye. So I can make it with custom:button card, but with that I cannot do multiple entities at once. Can you give me hint how to do it! Thank you.

#

but would like a lovelace button that opens directly to that, instead of the media browser root

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

@hallow mango you will need to add the url to the whitelist - then make sure the folder is accessible.

#

it maybe easier to map the www folder into the frigate docker container from your host if they are on the same machine

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:14 PM

well frigate doesn't give me files...

#

it populates a .db, and then shows them in the browser

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

oh

#

iframe that?

#

can you not use a snapshot when frigate detects something to export the clip?

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

it just puts them in the HA media browser

#

it does make stills, and shows those as the image for a camera entity

#

which makes them easy to show in lovelace

#

and the github provides a url path to them for attaching to notifications

#

but not sure how to get to the clips it generates

dim jolt Dec 22, 2020, 11:18 PM

interesting, i've not used frigate - but are you able to find the clips in a folder (assuming the clips are stored somewhere, and the DB is for referencing them)?

I will be adding the videos to make this easy soon.

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

sweeet

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

Are you on iOS or Android?

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

android

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Me too

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

good man lol

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Should be a simple change to the pass-through

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

ideally, I'd be able to send clips through a notification, but I'm not sure how they'd play on device?

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Also adding the full resolution snapshots too

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

my original question in this channel was actually about opening the media browser TO the frigate folder

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

The url will be public so they should work like any link to an mp4 file

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

instead of to the root

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

In the last version, that's how people viewed clips with a mounted volume

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

I have a lovelace button labeled "view clips", that I'd like to go right in

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

You just can't do any fancy thumbnails or filtering

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

I've got -v /storage/docker/frigate/clips:/clips

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

The media browser doesn't have the current path in the url

#

So you can't like to a specific path

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

👍

#

I figured that was the case

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

Are you wanting to view the video of the recent clip more easily? What are you trying to do?

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

umm, yes

#

but two separate things

#

a) I'd like to be able to send the most recent clip through a notification (I have this working for stills already)

#

and b) I'd like a lovelace button to open and show me historical clips

#

more easily, yes

#

I have a wall tablet, and wanted a straightforward way for the wife to see clips

#

without her having to remember to go to frigate first, basically lol

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

Makes sense. I think that will require some kind of custom card.

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

yeah... I'm thinking so

#

haven't seen a custom card for browsing media yet though

quick oracle Dec 22, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

You want something like the spotify media browser, but that plays in the browser rather than control an external device

#

Nothing like that really exists

hallow mango Dec 22, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

right lol

Anyone tried out https://github.com/KTibow/lovelace-light-soft-ui-theme/ ? It's a simpler version of https://github.com/N-l1/lovelace-soft-ui. I'm trying to get the nice "big button with text on the right" effect but there doesn't seem to be any simple way of doing that

flat steeple Dec 23, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

hi !:) is there a way to add a secondary info like ( last uopdated or changed ) on the mini-graph-card by kalkih

that would be cool 🙂

oak parcel Dec 23, 2020, 12:51 PM

Not sure where to put this exactly, I've a wall mounted tablet with Fully Kiosk running. After a small while the front-end seems disconnected untill the screen lights up again. Is there any way to prevent this? I'm using browser_mod as well, so when there's mail in the mailbox, it will show a dialog. But if it's disconnected it isn't working ofcourse. Anyone have a fully kiosk browser setup as well? Thanks

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

'seems disconnected'?

#

If you're saying that Lovelace doesn't receive any updates while the screen is off, that's the normal, default behaviour. There's an option in your profile to disable it.

oak parcel Dec 23, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Yeah when it comes "on" again, it says at the left bottom a snackbar with: "Disconnected, reconnecting"

#

so the default behaviour is also that the browser_mod can't put popup's on the screen while that is the case? Then I'll look into my profile for this, thanks a lot

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

If it's disconnected, HA can't talk to it.

#

So you are correct, browser_mod can't do anything.

oak parcel Dec 23, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

I thought it was fully kiosk itself that disconnected it, I'll try that option and see if browser_mod can send a popup after say 1 hour as well.

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

The auto-disconnect was added when people reported high data usage for video streams that ran in the background. You just need to turn it back off if you're using the device at home.

oak parcel Dec 23, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Yup, it's just a wall mounted tablet, thanks!

#

ok, just looked into it, unfortunately I turned that option off already. So I think it's not the fault of home assistant disconnecting itself but more a fully kiosk issue

#

It's a Samsung Tab S 10.5 (so an old one)

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

I've never used FK. See what others suggest.

oak parcel Dec 23, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

Thanks for the suggestion in the settings though 🙂

#

Guess I've found the solution in the documentation (-.-"). My bad, will try to put: force_stay_awake: true inside the config of the browser mod device.

How do I rename devices? I can only rename entities??

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

The same way you rename entities

#

configuration > Devices > pick a device > click the in the top-right corner

slow panther Dec 23, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

Thanks!
It was almost the same way. The configuration is positioned in the tab bar. Made me ignore it since i thought that was some ui config thing.
entities is a bit more logical... you just click on them, noinvolved 🙂

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Entities are a little simpler since there's less information. Devices already have a lot going on in the UI, so it makes sense they hide some stuff away 🙂

slow panther Dec 23, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

got it. But it would make even more sense if the configuration was moved down to somewhere in the information part of the device

karmic tiger Dec 23, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

Yeah, maybe. You could suggest that as a feature request.
