Hello! I'm currently using browser mod to do popups in one of my dashboards, but the popups won't set the same theme as the dashboard to the cards inside it. Since I want different themes on the different dashboards (being able to change between themes on the other one), one way I think of fixing this is by changing the theme from the backend based on which dashboard I'm on. Would this be possible somehow? Also does anyone know of any workaround to set the themes in browser mod popups?

There’s so many custom cards, it’s great. But I haven’t found any good visualization for all making it hard to find
hallow mango
yeah, for sure
I tend to build my own "cards" using stacks and standard cards with conditionals/templates/filters/etc
but for a certain style, it makes sense to grab a custom one
like I like this one: https://github.com/kalkih/mini-media-player
way over the standard
white hill
Yeah, been using that card 🙂
hallow mango
his mini graph card is also really nice 👍
white hill
With Lovelace it’s actually possible to create a very nice looking HA
Yeah, imho see the mini-graph before as well 😄
hallow mango
I honestly really like the style
but afaict it really only styles the colors
I'm an android guy so material works for me 😁
that softui is the homekit look, right?
white hill
no, not at all I'd say. It's its own thing
hallow mango
ah ok, no worries
languid cloak
Just following up on ping yesterday... Anyone using swipe with their HA mobile?
hallow mango
@languid cloak the swipe card or to swipe lovelace views?
I use this one: https://github.com/maykar/lovelace-swipe-navigation
mental minnow
IDK if im asking in the right spot but. Im having issues getting my hassio to be remotely accessible. Im using HAproxy on PfSense to expose hassio. The url works internally but i cant get anything to pass through externally. I use the proxy for like a dozen other services so im kinda at a loss. I have home assistant with a cert through lets encrypt already as well. Any ideas?
Also should point out my proxy gives me a 503 error like isnt seeing a server from external.
frank vigil
definitely not a #frontend-archived question.
mental minnow
Where should i post this then?

I'd start with the channel for your installation method.

anyone know of a climate card that shows the high and low end of the set range, instead of just the midpoint?
languid cloak
@hallow mango Yes, I installed the https://github.com/maykar/lovelace-swipe-navigation as well. You mind letting me know what entries in your frontend? I've tried both the recommended in the git, but still have no swipe functionality nor any errors. (Sorry for cross referencing. pain meds making me feel good).
My coding:
resources:
- url: /www/community/lovelace-swipe-navigation/swipe-navigation.js
type: module
swipe_nav:
wrap: true
skip_hidden: true
animate: swipe
same as yours but I have wrap: false, and I also have swipe_amount: 30

Not sure if this is the right channel for this, is there a way to overwrite what a power button does on a media player?
I have a ir/rf transmitter and a older non smart tv connected to a non smart receiver. I have a fire stick connected so that’s what I’m going to integrate into home assistant, but I’d like to change the power on the device to send a command to the ir transmitter and same for volume.

Hi all, can anyone help me with my struggle to configure multiple lovelace dashboards in config.yaml correctly. I have 2 dashboards correctly but cannot add more ???
dashboards:
lovelace-generated:
mode: yaml

icon: mdi:tablet-ipad
show_in_sidebar: true
require_admin: true
lovelace-hidden:
mode: yaml
title: Browser
show_in_sidebar: true
icon: mdi:firefox

How do I add more ? Start another "lovelace-generated" sequence ?

@ebon pivot within HA, you could probably pull that off with a universal media player
"Universal Media Player - Home Assistant" https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/universal/
hardware solution would be harmony 😁

Is there anyway to have a multiple selection dropdown in the front end tied to a text input e.g I just inserts the predefined values in a comma separated list?

@hallow mango i stumbled across this and I think this is exactly what I'm looking for thanks!
hallow mango
@tall falcon you could do it with a script I guess
text input, with a button that runs a script

Hi everyone, getting pretty familiar with HA but still struggling a bit with custom Lovelace cards. I've installed this card: https://github.com/jeremywillans/lovelace-roomba-vacuum-card from HACS but can't figure out how to add it to my dashboard. I tried to add a manual card and set the url to "/hacsfiles/lovelace-roomba-vacuum-card/roomba-vacuum-card.js" but it says it can't be found.
Correction: when adding the manual card it says that type "module" is unknown
verbal raven
ok forget it, I figured out that I need to register the module first 🙂

swift halo
I'm pressing "Add Dashboard" and I get a Add new dashboard dialog and enter a title "Kino" and it autofills the url "lovelace-kino". When I press OK it sais "Panel url path needs to be unique". -- I had another dashboard named "Kino" which I now renamed to "Test Kino", but when I press the title in the dashboards list, I get a dialog which shows its Title and Icon only, no URL visible. How can I see the URLs for the existing dashboards?
karmic tiger
Go to the dashboard, check the address bar in your browser. 😉
swift halo
Can I change the URL for existing dashboards?
karmic tiger
Not as far as I'm aware. You could save the YAML for that dash, delete it, create a new one, restore the YAML.
Ah, in fact...
In the YAML editing mode:
path: default_view
Edit your path 😉
Might just be for the tabs, not the dashboard, but it's worth a try.
The only other option would be to edit the files in .storage but that's not recommended. Easier to recreate the dashboard.

So I'm using this custom card https://github.com/bramkragten/swipe-card to get a marquee like card that scrolls through all the different alerts or status of devices so I can keep a nice full screen of my house floor plan but still have a bunch of devices show. https://imgur.com/a/3ohAzAe But I have been getting a "t.setConfig is not a function" error and the only way to get it to work is if I move the tab the card is on which means it is some kind of caching issue, I have tried clearing cache but that wont make it work its only after I move the tab then it loads. Should I open a issue for this? I posted in the cards tracker but the creator seams to not be responding. This card is the only thing I can find that lets me place a bunch of cards and have them scroll, I used to use entity filter but when a bunch of alerts showed it pushed my floorplan off screen.

Noob question, but how do I remove a device? Closest I have found is Disable device, but I am not sure if that removes it? To clarify: I have rxtrx device that was manually added (may not be 100% correct) that I want to remove so that it can be added again when found by the receiver, then it will be 100% 😉
hallow mango
if you added it manually via yaml, just remove the yaml lines
slow panther
I manually added the event code in rfxtrx gui. Its not in the configuration.yaml
hallow mango
ohh, might be something to ask in #integrations-archived then
you can't manually remove a device, as they're added BY an integration
usually the only way to get rid of it is to remove the integration
slow panther

hi all, first of all Merry Christmas to all, I have a Question.. do you have any recommendation for naming devices? i started with type & number but now with too many devices is kind of difficult to identify... appreciate your wisdom 🙂

I name them something friendly, but you'll likely most often be interacting with their entities instead
same approach imo, name them something friendly
I try to make my entities name and icon reflect what they actually are in my home, as often as possible

Is it possible to limit a graph card to a certain range?
hallow mango
you should check out https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card
velvet gyro
Do you think it will let me crop out extremes?
I have a heat pump and when it switches to hot water mode, the temperature spikes to 60c, but i have to monitor the values on a very small +/- 2c range around 20
hallow mango
you can set low and high ranges
the top card goes from 55-100°F and the bottom is 20-50% iirc
velvet gyro
Where can I add cards? It doesn't show up add card gui
Oh it doesn't work
It says not loaded in lovelace after installing and restart
After fixing that still nothing
Is it yaml only?
hallow mango
you'll have to add it in lovelace via yaml, yes
there's docs on GitHub for all the params
velvet gyro
https://ibb.co/qswGSfb
But the way, 22% humidity, i hope that's not your home
Is there any way to correct the graph showing bogus values?
velvet gyro
I changed to a sampling of 60/h that fixed it
Would it be possible to make the graph center on 1 dynamic temperature and adjust the graph to it with a fixed + and - 2.5c
hallow mango
I don't think so with that card
velvet gyro
Basically the idea is to follow what the orange curve does in relation to the red one, the red one being dynamic makes its hard
hallow mango
I think I get what you're thinking of
you can have it display an instant state, instead of a running graph
with um...
fixed_value: true in the entity
type: 'custom:mini-graph-card'
entities:
- entity: sensor.whatever
fixed_value: true
little different, but you can mix them, one fixed and one not, etc
radiant holly
I think I get what you're thinking of
Not sure why, this card never works for me. I installed it via hacs yet it still says card type not found
mossy timber
Is it possible to make a card show up only during specific times?
tropic junco
mossy timber
Yeah, but how do i invoke 'time' 🙂
tropic junco
it's a condition
mossy timber
I must be dense ... whats the entity ? 🙂
mossy timber
I'm building 'shortcut' cards, each with their own time when they will be visible. So that I have the most commonly used commands right on the 'first page' in the mobile app.
The first card I'm building should start showing around 20:00 I guess.
I'm doing it off a 'home mode' change now, but I'd prefer it to be time-specific.
Doesn't look like it's possible, except if I use a helper toggle.

tropic junco

tropic junco
for a commercial router sure
shrewd monolith
Gonna go opnsense with this
tropic junco
that would require a lot of routing
shrewd monolith
Other side is, it matches the other supermicro boxes, and it pulls about 22 watts
tropic junco
I'm not using any real routing at home so no need
6 port redirects is not routing LOL
mossy timber
tnsr
thats what it was called
but i'm not really clear on how this relates to pfsense and opnsense

i think i can use a template switch for my issue as well
tropic junco
which I expose to GA
so I have swithces in GA that turn each other off switching between scenes
ie, click a scene switch, it turns off all other scene switches
mossy timber
i use scripts instead of scenes. some of the stuff i do requires multiple actions in sequence, scenes dont allow this.
tropic junco
i wrote my "scenes" in NR
mossy timber
"romance time" for example requires the LED candles to be turned on and then have the brightness turned down 🙂
tropic junco
my wife calls that sexy time scene 😛
mossy timber
mrs approves of this!
tropic junco
you see my avatar?
mossy timber
i'm working on a sexy time too. its different. it uses weight sensors under the mattress.
i can not, i have Discord set to 'minimal'
it looks like a galaxy ?
tropic junco
its a pic of my bedroom light set up
mossy timber

tropic junco
i have 3 $25 tuya based RGBWW light strips and 3 Hue lights
mossy timber

tropic junco
2 strips under the bed, one around the TV.. 2 hues in lamps and 1 in the overhead light fixture
2 hue remotes
mossy timber
well done 🙂
tropic junco
1 hue motion sensor
mossy timber
now, here is the challenge i'm working with
tropic junco
all tied together in a single flow
and the master suite has 3 WW Hue globes and 2 z-wave switches
mossy timber
weight sensors under the mattress feed variable weight sensed indicating movement on top of the mattress... pattern recognise this and sync the lights around the bed with your motion.
tropic junco
ROFL
mossy timber
is what i'm trying to make my "sexy time" scene 🙂
tropic junco
I have a guy in my MeWe forum who did something with weight sensors and stip lights to make a staircase that changes colors as you walk up it
mossy timber
thats cool
tropic junco
we thought so
mossy timber
i live in an apartment, so no stairs. sadness!
tropic junco
anyway.. so in one of my sequances I make a temp switch in a NR entity
you could use something like that to achieve what you're looking for and use the exposed temp switch in a conditional card
mossy timber
yeah, thats the 'helper' approach i mentioned earlier.
tropic junco
using sunset as an offset time variance
mossy timber
use a binary sensor or input boolean
tropic junco
I had my subconcious working on this while we talked
mossy timber
it's almost evening here, so i'm not going to get into it now 🙂
tropic junco
its 5am here LOL
mossy timber
whats a ZHA?
tropic junco
Zigbee protocol
tropic junco
ok so, and this is a brutally inelegant solution
in NR have it listen for ZHA_event
that will give you something to listen for
then test time
if the time >= to the time you want
flick the temp switch
test for the temp switch in lovelance conditional card
done
mossy timber
i think the template switch can switch by time in and of itself, i think? just write the template code to look at the time of day.
no automation needed
tropic junco
no I think the If condition of the template switch is when to make it active?
not actually toggle it
I'd have to look for it
mossy timber
the template switch goes on or off depending on the time of day, the conditional card checks the state and turns the card on depending on the state of the switch
tropic junco
ok later I'm going back to bed
mossy timber

The automations should be kept enabled always. And they will trigger to turn on or off the humidifier based on e.g. the humidity sensor level which I assume you've used as the trigger for those automations

Easiest way might be to set the automations as a group
Thanks, will look into that, I think the toggle part will in the longterm messed up by me or somebody else when they manually turn it on

Thanks, will look into that, I think the toggle part will in the longterm messed...
Isn't it the same as someone accidentally turning on the grouped automations though?

Thanasis could you help me with this issue?
It's your quotes. They can't all be the same
Single quotes should be used for the states template
velvet gyro
Why do people post broken code as working 😫
tawny vault
Are you sure they were using double quotes for the whole thing?
tawny vault
’ ' <-- these aren't the same single quotes
velvet gyro
My goal is to show a graph of the delta between 2 temperatures
tawny vault
{{ states("sensor.loc1_temperature")|int - states("sensor.loc2_temperature")|int }} so this is technically not wrong since it's not inside quotes as well
tawny vault
just do this value_template: "{{ states('sensor.loc1_temperature')|int - states('sensor.loc2_temperature')|int }}"
Also this whole conversation should have been in #templates-archived FYI
velvet gyro
Oh sorry i just want a graph
tawny vault
Haha try it like that and let me know 🙂
velvet gyro
Haha try it like that and let me know 🙂
Hmm it crashes the config check now, `

I'm still doing the code formatting wrong
That or the spaces are getting dropped

Can you please edit the code so it's at least in proper yaml format? And lets move to #templates-archived

I didn't but it seems like he goes through the entire setup, from the description
reef obsidian
yes, but I still get lost in it, because I only want a boiler, that's all
hallow mango
so do less of the things he does
you'll likely need an input number, that slider row, and some kind of automation
to actually do something when you change the number
I don't really know anything about boilers so not really sure at all what you're trying to do here
have a slider that tells your boiler to come in for a certain amount of time?
reef obsidian
I only use Google Home Routines which turn on from 12AM to 6 AM and 1: pm to 3PM
and as I think about it should be canceled and done in the node rede because when I turn on the boiler at 2:40 pm to 6:40 pm, for example, I turn off the Google Routines at 3PM @hallow mango

I found it as a part of the standard lighting card. I had to enable the "brightness" on my device and then I got the full color wheel I was looking for. RGB values in HA are apparently not output values, so they must be scaled with brightness to get the physical RGB values to output.

Hi all, could anyone point me to where I can find the localization files (Github?) for the Weather card in the front end? I want to create a notification that sends the current weather in my local language. I understand that this is not possible to get via any service call so I need to create it myself as a template sensor or a big if-else in Jinja. It would still save some time to get the list of localized values for all the possible weather conditions so I can at least copy/paste that. Thanks 🙂

most (if not all) integrations have a "view on GitHub" button on their https://www.home-assistant.io page. that would be a good start to find it on the github itself.

Thank you for your reply. I did not find the translations from neither a google search ("home assistant localized weather conditions") nor from the Github repo.

Hi !
Can i change the default theme between light and dark using frontend.set_theme service ? When I try, It doesn't work for me :/
jagged slate
you need to import a dark theme first
there's documentation on https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/frontend/#defining-themes
steady pike
How I import the 2 default themes ?
In fact the default theme suits me, but it doesn't change style (it doesn't go from light to dark or the opposite automatically) during the day
wheat current
That's not how it works
steady pike
And how I can do that?
wheat current
with an #automations-archived
steady pike
Yes but my issue is that when I call the service frontend.set_theme for testing purpose, it dosen't change the color
wheat current
you need to set the theme to "backend selected" for that to work
steady pike
It is by default

I've been looking trough the HA documents for a while but I can't seem to find a way to put everything in a 24h standard instead of AM/PM. Is that even a thing in HA? if yes could you point to where I need to look?
wheat current
It uses your browsers locale
jagged slate
so there's no way to have it in English and 24h...
as soon as I use for example Dutch as language it's also the 24h, but in English it's not...
karmic tiger
You could try other countries that use English as their first language.
jagged slate
sadly all the English speaking locals in my browser seem to be using the 12h system...
more importantly, my phone is using the 24h everywhere except in the HA app
unless I set the app itself to a language that uses the 24h, if I leave it to system language (which is English for me) it uses the 12h
steady pike
Yes since the v2020.12.X, there is a dark theme by default (see picture below)
I also have downloaded a theme call "Google dark theme" but I think since this new version they must have changed something because some button is completely black now
This is what I have, and I don't really understand the "auto" mode if the theme dosen't change in the day

another thing that broke is my eufy light, where it says since the update that my config is wrong, while it worked before?

Hey, I've recently setup a tablet with the HA app to be the control panel for some of my stuff, mostly all up and running but I found the normal entity card for a scene to be a bit small so wanted to use a full button card for it however can't get it working.
This is what I have:
icon: 'hass:palette'
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.sky```
but it results in this error `Failed to call service scene/turn_on. sequence item 0: expected str instance, Optional found`I suspect you'll find that entity_id needs to be in service_data:
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: scene.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: scene.sky
Yup, that was the one, thanks muchly 👍

Hi everyone, how do I add a binary sensor in a dashboard card?
I only have it on top as a circle value
I have a sensor and a binary sensor, sensor is a 1-wire temp sensor, binary sensor comes from node-red
hallow mango
what's the binary sensor?
and just curious, what temp sensor are you using? I have one place I'd like to do a spot temperature
karmic tiger
Just add an entity/glance card.
mortal elk
what you mean? it's a "entity" node in node-red addon
temp sensor is a ds18b20
@karmic tiger but I would like to add the binary sensor into the card for the area that already exists.. should I create a custom dashboard?
karmic tiger
If it's an area card, add that sensor to the area...
And you'll get better answers if you ask better questions 🤦♂️
Creating your own dashboard is more flexible than the Lovelace-generated one. You can have multiple dashboards until you're happy, so you don't have to take control of the original yet.
crude mural
Hello. Is there any good resource you recommend to create a custom Lovelance home map? I saw people using images and storing each permutation of the room state but I think I also saw some people just using SVG (which works fine to me, I do not need ultra fancy 3d)
I am a little lost because I find a lot of older tutorials and it seems like people are doing different approaches
I have no fear to code. I am not an UI expert but a backend JS developer, so I have no problem with getting my hands dirty
What worries me is that I want to spend on this project until the end of the year and at this pace I will clock that time just learning about the different options to be able to choose one 😦

kind shellBOT
vague vault
so i think it is something with yaml syntax in the whole card
boreal charm
What's the formatting for a list
I'd have to guess and check but likely:
line_color: ['blue', 'green','red']
OR
line_color:
- blue
- green
- red
You mean... standard YAML?
boreal charm
You mean... standard YAML? <:mindblown:334058415385083911>
I have a love hate relationship with YAML. It's verbose, but give me JSON anyday. I KNOW what that's supposed to look like. 🤣
velvet gyro
Ok that worked
karmic tiger
So use JSON. JSON inside YAML is valid.
boreal charm
That's a fair point. I might have to give that a try in some of my yaml configs.
@vague vault I'd suggest taking things slow and making small changes. Get the button on the screen. Then add the service call. If the service is getting bad data it will pop up a message telling you that in the UI. I would also use the developer-tools/service testing tool to confirm that you have what you need.
Aside from that it's all YAML formatting and making sure you don't have typos and work to the spec.
vague vault
ok .. this is the popup message : Failed to call service climate/set_preset_mode. extra keys not allowed @ data['entity'] ... but i am new in the whole HA area, so i can´t read every error message to find the right point
karmic tiger
You don't need to read every error message 😉
vague vault
You don't need to read every error message 😉
this is good 😄
boreal charm
You're using entity instead of entity_id
karmic tiger
It tells you what you're doing wrong. You can't use entity inside service_data
vague vault
yes ... thanks 😄 ... now it works
thank you @boreal charm & @karmic tiger now copy paste for all other Heater
boreal charm
As @karmic tiger said you gotta read the docs. That being said... That one is a tricky one. I remember making that mistake a dozen or more times before finally realizing I just had to read the docs everytime or play the guess and check game until I get it right! 🙂
You're welcome. Glad we could help. 🙂
vague vault
the developer tools also fine because there is the right syntax
boreal charm
What's even more fun is not EVERY card does it the same way once you start using custom cards. 😉

Hey guys, I've stumbled across what I suspect is a rather strange bug, but since i can't find anybody else reporting it, I may just be doing something stupid. I'm currently on 2021.1.0.dev20201229 from docker, and I've got some Tasmota devices using the new hatasmota beta integration, but something has gone wrong with temperature or how it's being processed, that wasn't an issue using the old integration method. When checking developer tools, the state and attributes seem right, "unit_of_measurement: °F
friendly_name: RV Wet Bay DS18S20 Temperature
device_class: temperature" but when HA renders graphs on the cards, it's classing it as °C and putting it by itself, though still showing the value number from the farenheit scale.
Is this a known issue, or bug, or can you point me towards what I could be doing wrong that might cause this sort of odd behavior?
mild veldt
Dont see annything wrom. But ... im a noob in yaml
your indentation after config-template-card is too far left by two spaces for all lines

Also notable... My problem only occurs with the DS18S20, though on multiple tasmota devices... on BME280 temp probes, the state info in the developer tools looks perfectly identical, but HA groups and graphs those as °F just fine.

Just looking at the title and glancing at the post, what you have at the top is JSON, and the bottom one is YAML. JSON is also valid YAML, see http://thomasloven.com/blog/2018/08/YAML-For-Nonprogrammers/
Glancing onto the next paragraph. If you're touching anything in .storage, you're doing it wrong
Ok, I had to actually read this one. Don't ever touch anything in .storage/lovelace manually. For a picture-elements card, just add a new one and you'll be dropped into the yaml editor because it doesn't have a GUI one yet anyway.

Hey y'all, would be the best way to make a card show the state of a device based on the input?
Example : Washing machine is on if energy monitor is over x Watts, but off of energy monitor reports under x Watts? Essentially to show a true or false state?
karmic tiger
Conditional?
Not sure it works with templates, so you'll have to first make a template sensor that's true when the power is above the threshold and false otherwise.
Oh, wait... you're not after switching between cards, just showing state based on custom logic? That's just a template sensor then.

This is really more a general android issue but going to try here, I've just found that when trying to use any control on my dashboard that require movement rather than pressing (namely brightness sliders) most of the time it thinks I am trying to swipe the whole screen (those curved sections appear on the edges) rather than move the control.

Is there any other way to use different MDI icons based on state other than custom_ui?
I have two older iPad 4 devices that I use on the walls and they must do something different or there is a bug in custom_ui and I can't set any custom icons based on state. It just shows the stock icon. If I change the stock icon it changes just fine, but the dynamic thing with custom_ui doesn't work. The person that got custom_ui going again doesn't seem very interested in looking at the problem so I'm wondering if there is something else I can do without custom_ui?

The custom card, button-card supports templates. Or you could use my config-template-card and use templates on any card and swap out icons based on state
inner cosmos
Well, it works on a new iPad Pro, but these older ones it only shows the default icons for the entity.
karmic tiger
It could be that the browser on those devices doesn't support newer JS syntax.
inner cosmos
Works on the Mac and iPad Pro. The iPad 4 runs iOS 10 and doesn't work.
karmic tiger
If that's the case, there's not much you can do.
inner cosmos
Thats why I was looking for maybe an alternative to custom_ui.
If I change the default icon for the device, it works, just not when I use it in a template.
so it can change based on state.
mild veldt
To my knowledge, custom_ui is not used much these days, so finding support for it will likely be only in the forums
inner cosmos
I tried all sorts of stuff, even no logic and just setting the icon there like: templates: icon: mdi:lightbulb
Ah.. So what do people do to change icons these days based on state?
mild veldt

Just had a really quick look at the source code for custom_ui... plenty of object destructuring and other ES6+ stuff going on. That'll explain it.

inner cosmos
<@!778768129836449833> perhaps you have another great idea. it works great in th...
Ack, not sure on that one.
Let me explain what I'm trying to do. This all started with a single garage door. The standard cover for it only supports two states - Open and Closed. I wanted to have four states - Open, Opening, Closing, and Closed. I made a custom sensor that allowed me to set the states to whatever I wanted. Then I used custom_ui to set the icons appropriately based on state.
The problem is that I can't get the icons to change on these old iOS 10 devices.
If someone would have some alternate route I could take to achieve the same thing, I'm all up for it. The garage cover was just too rigid and wouldn't change states to anything other than Open or Closed, even though it shows it does in the source code.
I'd love to be able to get away from custom_ui, I just don't know if there is a way to get that functionality somewhere else that works.
@mild veldt Can you give me some more guidance on your custom card and the other suggestions you gave me above?
karmic tiger
Just use a template for the icon: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#javascript-templates
Alternatively, use states to select how the buttons should be styled: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#configuration-with-states
There are a ton of great examples in the docs. You don't need to tag him to ask for help with the basics.
inner cosmos
Going to look at the JS templates now. Thanks for the suggestion and the other url.
Ok, so this worked to change the icon on the old iPad: sensor.garage_door_controller:
icon: 'mdi:lightbulb'
I must have some syntax of references incorrect:
'''
sensor.garage_door_controller:
icon: >
[[[
if (entity.state == "Open")
return "mdi:garage-open";
else if (entity.state == "Closed")
return "mdi:garage";
else
return "mdi:garage-alert";
]]]
'''
For that above, no icon at all shows.

When I install the button-card at https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card , does it replace the stock button card that was in HA? I've installed it via HACS, added the resource, rebooted, and am adding the button card. Just wanted an indication that I'm adding the correct card that has this new functionality.
Freaking awesome - it worked!
Now that I can do that, I'll uninstall custom_ui so I don't have extra unused things in the system.
Are there other companions to this custom:button-card for other things that allow the same customization?
Btw, just to be clear, this works great on the old iPad 4 with iOS 10. Thank you!!
Would be cool if there were other cards like this.. Like the entities card.
karmic tiger
If you're using button-card, you basically don't need any other custom card. It can do pretty much anything you can imagine.
inner cosmos
Oh yeah? One other that I use is the entities card so I have a list of items (light switches).
karmic tiger
And if you ever find a card that does what you want except you need to add templates... there's this: https://github.com/iantrich/config-template-card
inner cosmos
Ha, so awesome. I'll give that a shot and see how it works for me on this old device. I'm guessing it'll work fine since the other one did.
I've been searching for a solution to this for a couple weeks now. I even came in here a week ago and nobody knew. Apparently the great minds that are here today were absent when I was first here. 😉
karmic tiger
Yeah, it can be hit and miss. There's a lot of experience in the community but everyone (except a handful of paid devs) is a volunteer. They're often busy with their own lives.
inner cosmos
Sure, makes sense. Which is why I figured I'd give this another shot at asking. Glad I did.
Using https://github.com/iantrich/config-template-card, is it possible to use an entities card and only change the icon for one of the items in the entities list?
I see in the example for an entities card, but didn't see an example of changing an icon in the entities card. Saw an example for icon in the picture card, but that didn't seem to work on the entities card.

@inner cosmos yes, it is

What is the difference between the two "entities:" sections? I see that if an entity is not in the bottom section, it doesn't get displayed. What is the top one for?

How do I change the icon line from shorthand to longhand?
So I have the if, else if, else, lines? Makes it easier for me.

Do you have a variable defined as bocce_lights_north_state?

I do:
variables:
bocce_lights_north_state: 'states[''switch.bocce_lights_north''].state'
Nothing stands out as being incorrect. But it didn't like it.., what is it?
inner cosmos
No icon shows up for that device.
When I had it shorthand, it worked.
icon: '${bocce_lights_north_state === ''off'' ? ''mdi:lightbulb-outline'' : ''mdi:lightbulb-on''}'
That works. Just trying to figure out the longhand version of that line.
