Is it a bug Logbook doesn't show icons/pictures for a great deal of entities?

#

There are a behaviour in Lovelace when I write colon in the entity card editor, it switches to the whole entities card configuration code editor. Is this the new normal? Also, the code editor often switch the keyboard from right to left. So Name becomes emaN. AND in dark mode the text cursor becomes dard (not keeping it white) and marking the text is also invisible. It marks, but I cant see the marking. Shift-refresh of browser works, but it quickly returns. Also cleared the cache. I'm using Firefox, but the same happens in Chrome. And this don't happen outside the code editor.

hi, i have a big issue with lovelace, i use already some neat integrations but one thing hurts my eyes, i cannot sort the cards on the lovelace as i prefer, is there a way that there is NO AUTO SORT?

hello everyone, I'm trying to create a button to cast a plex playlist to a chromecast to no avail. I read the documentation but i do not understand where to put the code. Here is my unsuccessful current button. It does reach the chromecst (it interrupts whatever is playing) but doesnt play anything or display the plex screen.

#

also i am lost with the button card

this home assistant is way powerful and way complicated, i bet you guys had a lot of fun learning this topic

Hey guys is it possible to build multiple cards in a desktop view , but then only call a specific card on a mobile device? Basically each card you build would have a unique id that would allow the only display that specific card on another device.

Going pose the question here and then continue my hunt...what is the simplest way to get rid of the header? (going to use specific dashboards on specific Window 10 (x64) tablets)

I'm having a hell of a time... sometimes the login form doesn't load, sometimes I appear to login but it goes to "cannot connect" and when I retry it goes back to login, sometimes I get the "cannot connect" and retrying just gives the same screen

#

I have yet to find a consistent trend...

dark dirge
#

@crystal magnet You can search for "Kiosk Mode" in HACS. There's a plugin for it

agile ginkgo
#

is hass supposed to generate 6MB of persistent storage browser-side just from logging in?

crystal magnet
dark dirge
#

yes, it has nothing to do with install method

#

or, you can just install that manually

agile ginkgo
#

"Error: Something went wrong" before even trying to login. This is new. Every time the behavior is different...

#

How do I even troubleshoot this?

#

Looks like the service worker fails to install or something?

#

but would that impact login?

#

now I just got a "Error:" that's it, just "Error:"

#

no issues in Firefox on Android

#

maybe because it's already logged in?

#

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.
That's.... new

#

I swear I'm not changing anything other than occasionally (frequently) deleting local storage on the browser end

#

and now it randomly worked
I guess I'll just wait for it to randomly break again

Howdy ๐Ÿ™‚ Is there a trick to get a conditional OR card on lovelace? alternatively I can throw up X of the same card with different conditions, but that... ehm... so when I think of "great" this doesn't come to mind.

solemn narwhal
# rain junco Howdy ๐Ÿ™‚ Is there a trick to get a conditional OR card on lovelace? alternativel...

Unfortunately, I do not think there is any card that supports this at this time. The best I can suggest would be using a Template Sensor (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/) to return a value to an entity based on the conditions you want and pair that with State-Switch (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch) to look at the entity being changed by the Template sensor.

If it is a single outcome condition, you can use a Template Binary Sensor (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor.template/) but this will only provide on/off or true/false. So as conditions evolve or grow this method would have to exist for every state. Whereas the above option allows for the setting of the state to a string (such as "Condition 1", "Condition 2") which allows you to just have to add more conditional statements to the Template Sensor.

rancid arch
#

How can I show the value of a "input_text" as a row in a card? I have a input_text, containing a text. I just want to display the text, not the entity-name... And read only...

rain junco
solemn narwhal
rain junco
#

that is having a value each time a condition of mine is met, but it seems that the condition of [state not equal to] '' is not working as expected

#

is there something for empty instead of ''? ๐Ÿ™‚

solemn narwhal
#

Which method are you referring to? The Template sensor or card-mod?

rain junco
#

built-in conditional card

#

e.g. when input_text.whatver state is not equal to "" would be my condition here

#

I can switch cards based on whether that has or does not have any value

solemn narwhal
solemn narwhal
#

Is that what you are trying to do?

rain junco
#

exactly - but I think I've got some indentation problem somewhere (long card) ๐Ÿ˜„ let me rebuild the corresponding bit, this should work ๐Ÿ˜„

rain junco
#

hmm yeah, doesn't seem to work like that

# 
conditions:
  - entity: input_text.roborock_uniq
    state: ''''''
card:
  type: markdown
  content: test```
#

this is what the UI generates

#

the same example with using an input_boolean with on/off value works as I would expect

#

I can workaround this with bool(s); but this feels like something I'd like to understand better

#

a condition of not having a value for input_ is likely not edge case

solemn narwhal
#

Give me a bit to mock up an example. I will test this out.

rain junco
#

and that input_text of course

#

ideally when you put any value into that input_text, the markdown card needs to hide, and when empty, it needs to show

solemn narwhal
#

I do not think you can test for the empty value condition. You will need it to have a value. This can be done with template sensor.

rain junco
#

yeah looks like it

#

is regexp allowed on cards?

#

I could fool around with matching ^[A-z0-9].* or failing that match to have the condition get a "true" or "false"

Soooo, not seeing "general" chat...so I'll start the convo here, but...

#

Does anyone have recommendations for a failsafe system in case a local device is stolen? I am thinking of setting up a tablet in my garage that will unlock the doors and even my car (Tesla), but if it got stolen things could get tricky. Only thing I can think of it blacklisting the device MAC (or removing it from my whitelist), but MACs can be spoofed easily.

formal tide
#

use tokens. revoke tokens.

crystal magnet
formal tide
#

you can also just create a different user for that ipad and remove that user

crystal magnet
formal tide

I'd seal that ipad in the wall with concrete, this sounds dangerous overall

crystal magnet
# formal tide I'd seal that ipad in the wall with concrete, this sounds dangerous overall

My goal is to buy a house in the next year that is on 10acres or so...so theft is highly improbable given the distance between houses. (Also, the tablets all run full blown Windows, so I'll probably program a lifeline into the tablet to report back it's GPS coordinates and IP anytime there is a reconnect of a network connection, probably make it send a photo from front and back cameras as well.)

formal tide
#

ipads are easily more trackable imo, also you can just wipe them remotely

#

plus: thieves almost always know that stolen ios devices are trash when coupled to your apple id

I use https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-favicon to change my title...
However I still see "Overview - Customtitle" in my Home view, what am I missing? Seems like this style is only possible with auto generated lovelace?^^

crystal magnet
formal tide
#

I have no cache problem, the title updates but it's not just "Title" - it's "Overview - Title" on the landing page (pane called "overview")

crystal magnet
#

I assume the first html title entry will get overwritten by the second

#

I was wrong, just tested it

crystal magnet

formal tide
#

I'm using latest, but I also think the component needs a update regarding that

crystal magnet
formal tide
#

it's not been updated since .118 and it worked fine earlier so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

crystal magnet
#

Their command in the section of line 100 should search and replace <title> (wildcard) </title> but instead it looks for a specific string.

#

but that wouldn't explain your partial functionality. At least it won't be too hard to fix.

formal tide
#

if you look closely - the page loads with "Title" but some JS replaces it with "Overview - Title" within a fraction of a second

crystal magnet
formal tide
#

I suspect this comes from chages to the sidebar where they introduced the feature to reorder/rename sidebar panes

#

so the CC needs a update

#

@feral rivet Be kind to your forehead now, but see how the service is called select_option without s at the end?

near meadow
#

@twin tusk doh! thansk

feral rivet
#

Okay so I removed the s from options. I am now getting value must be string for @ data [option]

#

Am I missing another part? Still not able to see the list of options.

polar kelp
#

What do you think the service call does?

feral rivet
#

calls the service input_select.select_option.๐Ÿค”

polar kelp
#

Which is supposed to do what?

feral rivet
#

bring up the options that i created in my input_select config.yaml.๐Ÿ˜ฐ

polar kelp
#

Oh. I see. No, that's not what it does at all.

#

It sets the currently selected value of the input_select to the (single) one you specify in the service data.

#

With very few exceptions a service call never makes anything happen to the frontend.

feral rivet
#

okay. What I want to do is be able to select from a list of available media players that will then change to the corresponding mini media player which is going to be a separate card.

polar kelp
#

Then you'll need to display the input_select in an entities card.

#

Actually, there may be one other way.

#

You could have the button open the more-info dialog for the input_select entity. Then you can make your selection from there.

feral rivet
#

I like the second Idea a bit more , because the button card has a more polished look to it

feral rivet
#

so that produced a outcome close to what i wanted, it just is not as polished as the List Card.

#

@polar kelp I ask this question yesterday, but since you are one of the Dev members, I am curious about your response #frontend-archived message

polar kelp
#

Not with core components. But that question gave me a great idea for my ongoing update of layout-card.

#

Thanks!

feral rivet
#

now you just baiting me.๐Ÿ˜€

#

So we are able to call a view via a url, but not, but not a single card within that view? I am not a programmer as you can already tell, but that seems like fairly basic. This would allow one to have a mobile (phone) view and have all the cards on one page. No one listens to me, but they may listen to you if you would be wiling to share the idea.

polar kelp
#

I've been thinking about that before actually. Would be neat if you could use something like that to e.g. iframe a single card on an external web page. Unfortunately, it's not quite straight forward.

feral rivet
#

Well if nothing else I have got the thought flowing again.

Does anyone know a way to prevent yaml anchors from being completely โ€˜unpackedโ€™ when saving a card configuration? For example. You can create your achor setup, then hit save. Close the card editor, open it again. Then all your anchors have been converted to a full yaml layout.

#

Ah I see it was discussed here as well. So yeah, guessing thereโ€™s no way to prevent this.

polar kelp
#

Correct. Anchors are very much a yaml addition, and the configuration is not stored as yaml in the backend.

#

But I'm amazed at what the editor manages to do with anchors before you leave edit mode. Like if you edit things in he GUI it will reshuffle the anchors and keep as much as possible templated.

harsh peak
#

Yeah itโ€™s pretty strong at what you can do in the editor. Guessing the only way to properly support anchors in the backend would be to create a custom case for it. But idk if thatโ€™s desired haha. Maybe Iโ€™ll step over to the decluttering card. Although native anchor support would be neat as it removes the need for another card.

I'm having a strange issue. Trying to add a webpage frame to Lovelace for a specific full screen view from Octoprint. I try to log in, as it prompts, and it just kicks me immediately back to the login page. I've Googled this and nothing found has fixed it. Octoprint log shows the login attempt, shows the connection opening and immediately closing. Anyone have any ideas? Trying to add a view for Pretty Gcode to see the Gcode of my current print.

whats the card or panel to use to display stack of images which are stored in local dir? I am taking snapshots of the images from the camera - wanted to display the last 5 images

quaint snow
#

trying to use card-mod to have an entity change its icon depending on state (open and closed door for a door sensor), but haven't had any luck. am I doing something wrong?

entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.front_door_sensor_contact
    card_mod:
      style: |
        :host {
          --card-mod-icon: mdi:door-open;
        }```
#

or should it be looking more like this?

  - entity: binary_sensor.front_door_sensor_contact
    style: |
      :host {
        --card-mod-icon:
          {% if states(binary_sensor.front_door_sensor_contact) == 'on' %} mdi:door-closed;
          {% else %} mdi:door-open;
          {% endif %}```

Is it possible to add custom sidebar buttons? To specific integration pages for example

Has anybody noticed issues that the mouse hover on card states in the frontend (history graphs when you click an entity for example) is only visible less then a second then disappears?

Hi there. I'm trying to find inspiration for my Lovelace UI. But I can't find other than random pictures in various threads, often several years old. Is there an inspiration / "show your UI" thread somewhere? I've not found anything in the forums so far.

hope i got the right channel for asking about lovelace sensor graphs...

#

do others see this as well when having several sensor graphs on the dashboard.....
and when looking on ipad/iphone and turning the device all graphs are suddenly the same?

this is how it looks when switching to another app and back....

Does anyone know if its possible to deep link into a specific folder within the media-browser as a notification action?

urban lake
#

Has anyone been successful using the new grid-layout card?

Hey all, have a question for you before I submit a bug report. I've been seeing some odd things in my history with my input_datetime sensors. If I try to pull up an input_datetime entity in the developers console, when I view it it states the value has changed "just now" and shows the most recent value that I set with the API. If I view the history of the entity, it shows the most recent date time value that I sent in with the API over and over again, but the "changed" information below each entry is correct.

#

My use case is that I use a wall mote to set up a bedtime automation for my baby. When I press the button, I set the input_datetime through the set_datetime service api call. I'd like to see the previous dates/times she "started a nap routine", but everything in the history shows the most recent datetime that was sent in. However if I trace back the "2 hours ago" under each, it corresponds to when the button was pressed

#

ITs very strange

#

So my question is, if you have a input_datetime, can you click on the (i) icon in the dev console and let me know if it says that the value was updated "just now"?

#

And if you see something similar under the history for the entity?

dark dirge
#

it does

violet depot
#

Just to rule out that it's not something stupid that I'm doing

dark dirge
#

it says "now", and then starts counting

violet depot
#

ok, so I'm not going crazy then lol

#

what about the history?

dark dirge
#

yes

#

only the first time, though.

#

the count is based on the first time I bring up the detail view

violet depot
#

So here is another one that I use to track when my dog got her medication. She gets it twice daily, once in the morning and once at night.

#

The history value for 22 hours ago matches the value from this morning

#

which makes no sense. And then theres also the top history value which triggered by me just viewing the input_datetime entity. Perhaps by viewing the entity, its accidentally posting the current value in the window that is displayed? Still not sure why the previous value from 22 hours ago would show the most recent though...

dark dirge
#

no idea. I recommend setting the date you care about rather than relying on the "changed" values

violet depot
#

Sure, tracking the history on when my dog got her pills was never really that important. Just that she got them. But I was hoping to graph out historical data on my baby's sleep history...for fun? ๐Ÿ™‚ But I think I'll submit a bug report on it. It's weird that it's stamping out a new value in the history when one isn't really being set

#

Thanks for confirming that it's not just my instance

dark dirge
#

sure, np. never noticed it

@polar kelp Hello, happy to report that I got the custom:grid-layout working and I'm really impressed with the outcome. Thanks for this great release. I cannot get it working as a browser_mod.popup though. Do you anticipate any problems using it in a popup?

polar kelp
#

I can't see why it wouldn't work. But I haven't actually tested it.

#

Glad to hear you got it to work. I saw your message last night, but it was too late for me to jump into it.

No worries! Stayed up too late myself.

Thanks @quaint snow - I saw this but it says that it can control only one switch. Would it somehow be possible to create a virtual switch which, in turn, controlled two smart plugs?

Low-power heaters.

quaint snow
#

Could you group them into one entity?

Try it out haha. Iโ€™d be grouping them and giving it a shot, or create a switch template perhaps

Maybe a group and then a switch template to control the group

hi folks, i am looking for some guidance on how to add 2 entities on the same line in an entity card, eg i have a gate binary sensory which shows open or closed state, i have just got a sonoff 4ch pro which i now want to use to open and close said gate, is there a way to show the open close toggel switch next to the binary sensor?

#

think i found it, multi entity row install via HACS>

glad pulsar
#

ok not winning with the mult entity card, its in the front end list on hacs so i assume its loaded now, but should it be coming up in the list of cards when i click the add card in lovelace?

Hi all! Wondering if someone here can point me in the right direction. My HA configuration.yaml specifies "unit_system: imperial", and I have a sensor that provides data in kPa. I'd like to display it in PSI, but I also have other sensors that show in kPa and I'd like them to stay that way. Here is the sensor definition:```

  • platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "rtl_433/<host_id>/devices/TPMS/PMV-107J/<sensor_id>/pressure_kPa"
    name: "Tire 2 Pressure"
    unit_of_measurement: "kPa"
    value_template: '{{ value | round(2) }}'
    expire_after: 36000
Is there a way I can have this display in psi instead of kPa without creating a new template sensor ...?
#

Duh. I guess I could just use the value_template to convert to PSI and set the unit_of_measurement to PSI, huh ... (?)

dark dirge
#

sure

I found a great custom card for the alarm panel but I am a total newb at HASS. Would anyone be willing to help step me through it? I am just not sure what to put where.

I would really like to use it in combo with Alarmo if possible. Thoughts?

#

the installation instructions start about halfway down the page:

#

start with the first bullet below the picture

the picture is a graphical representation of the second bullet point

#

For file structure, I need to create a 'www' folder in base 'config' folder

dark dirge
#

yes

#

and then copy the file in, then restart HA

#

it won't recognize the new directory until you restart HA

compact flame
#

yup....did that

#

I added it as a resource

#

and even though it says to add as "/local/alarm_control_panel-card.js" but it is actually in the /config/www/ directory.....that is correct syntax?

dark dirge
#

/local/alarm_control_panel-card.js is correct

#

it's mapped to /config/www

compact flame
#

/local/ is an alias/symlink to /config/www

#

got it

#

Where I get errors is in the manual card config

dark dirge
#

those instructions are not great

#

a bunch of outdated stuff in that config

compact flame
#

I feel less dumb

dark dirge
#

part of the problem is that many people hand-edit their lovelace config, and that can make trouble for people trying to add cards in the UI

#

you should be able to paste something like this when adding a manual card, replacing entities with what's appropriate for your system

# 
      confirm_entities:
          - binary_sensor.office_window
          - binary_sensor.living_room_window

there's a giant gulf between hacking something together that works for you and solves your problem, and hardening it for public consumption

I noticed that the site permissions didn't show any setting for allowing cookies (neither Allow, Allow for Session, nor Block were selected), so I unchecked "Use Default" and explicitly set "Use Default". Tried to login, Got "Unable to connect", upon retrying it went back to the login screen. After trying to login again I'm at my dashboard.

Hitting refresh, I have to click through the "Unable to connect" dialog once or twice to get to the dashboard. Clearly something's still wrong... I guess I wait for it to break again?

Or any colour for that matter

I like the look of the entity card, but I would like to customize the display name, color and animation based on the different states. I've done this with great success using custom:button-card, so how can I achieve the same thing with the entity card?

# 
  :host {
    --paper-item-icon-color:

     {% else %} #aeeafc

     ;
   }```
#

That will change the color of your icon depending on the state of the entity

#

this even changes the color based on the state of an attribute

Hello guys! I am re-configuring my HA from scratch ๐Ÿ’ช Sometimes it's just better to start fresh hehe. Is there a way to keep a dashboard that is auto-populated by HA + another dashboard that I can control myself?

For instance, keep the "Home" tab as it is right now, populating automatically, and add a second "Custom" tab where the Cards would need to be added manually?

Thanks in advance!

So not a tab, but imo this is better because you get a new button in the sidebar instead.

The garage door works fine and the curtains work BUT often when I look at my overview screen I see just the 'stop' button highlighted, with the up arrow nor down arrow both 'greyed out'. If I use the slider on the pop up to move the curtain a few percent, sometimes one or both arrows goes full brightness. I can then click on them to move the curtain. If I fully open or fully closed, both arrows grey out. What am I missing?

#

@polar kelp Just wanted to add I love your slider app, I am using this for my curtains.

#

Is 'cover' an integration?

polar kelp
#

Yes. And Tuya and Garadget definitely are.

half pawn
#

There doesn't seem to be a problem with Local Tuya and Garadget, they seem to be working fine. Its just the cover, I suspect that there needs to be a deadband around 0% and 100% so that say less than 2% is "closed" and over 98% is open. I will try integrations.

#

By the way I left a comment on your github, as my curtains at 0% are 'open' and at 100% are 'closed' but your slider app calls 100% 'open'. Would be nice if the text could be user defined maybe?

Hi, i have added the "last modification" in the secondary info of a equipement in lovelace UI.

I have an mqtt sensor accurately giving me this value:

How do I use this in a Lovelace card to give me time since that value in duration like seconds, minutes, hours, etc? I cannot figure it out and have wasted hours. Please help and thanks in advance!

Hey all. I have created a Lovelace button that starts a automation to turn on a geyser for 1 hour. type: button. Here is the lovelace code
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: automation.trigger
service_data: {}
target:
entity_id: automation.kids_geyser_on_1_hour
entity: switch.sonoff_main_gate
name: Geyser on for 1 Hour
icon: 'mdi:water-boiler'
show_state: false

#

my question is. Is it possible to have the icon light up while the automation is running? Currently It works but I have no idea if it is running or not

twin tusk
#

@grim scaffold u can set icon colour according to state

grim scaffold
twin tusk
#

is not a dev backgroud required

grim scaffold
twin tusk
#

i use card_mod custom card first

#

and colour icon is part of style

#

so...i say what needs to be changed: -paper-item-icon-colour

#

and if the state of your entity is on

#

then the icon should be....#ff45443

#

but u can write white

#

or purple

#

or whatever u want

#

it can be done without card mod if u don't want to isntall custom cards, but right now i cannot say how

#

Thank youuu

polar kelp

@shell island First you need a card which can create multiple cards based on a list, e.g. grid, vertical-stack, horizontal-stack or custom:layout-card.
Then you tell auto-entities which entities you want, and where to send them. But instead of sending them to the entities: option of the card, you tell it to send them to the cards option of it.
Then, obviously, you need to make sure that the data that's sent also contains information about what card type you want to put in the grid/stack/layout, just as you would if you entered it manually.
I know you're one of those who can figure this out from the example I linked.

lapis hatch
#

That's very generous ๐Ÿ˜‰ whoops! I thought your "can figure this out from example" comment was in reference to me for some reason

polar kelp
#

Layout-card makes things a little bit simpler. And there's an example in its readme.

dark dirge
#

the just-released layout-card is playing havoc with my icon sizes

#

I made the layout -> view_layout change, but I can't figure out why it has had such a dramatic effect

#

I'm using a bunch of layout-cards to organize a fleet of custom button cards, and there seems to be some perhaps unintended impact on sizing. Some have become really small, some much too big

polar kelp
#

That was quick.

dark dirge
#

yep

polar kelp
#

Are you using a grid layout?

dark dirge
#

some auto, some horizontal

shell island
dark dirge
#

no grid

polar kelp
#

Do you have a screenshot?

dark dirge
#

I can get the sizes back by playing with the size and aspect_ratio parameters of custom button card, just wasn't expecting to have to

#

sure

#

the icons at the top used to be proportional to the text, the Bluetooth icons fit on a single line. The grid (which is really "auto") in the middle had icons that were marginally larger. All three columns used to be roughly the same height

#

I can go back and grab a "before" shot if that would help

polar kelp
#

It's not simply that you accidentally renamed a few too many layout to view_layout?

#

custom-button-card still uses layout for its options.

dark dirge
#

I don't think so. I still have the step_layout parts

#

I'm investigating

#

actually, those are for water heater

polar kelp
#

Mind sharing the code?

dark dirge
#

Sure, I'm trying to get a minimal example

#

it's a pretty complicated nested layout

polar kelp
#

It's ok. Just pastebin it all. I think I know what to look for in this case.

#

But I appreciate the thought.

dark dirge
#

ok. I do want to prove to myself that going back to an earlier version fixes it and I'm failing at that right now.

polar kelp
#

Ok. Then I'll go to bed now. Ping me if you don't solve it and I'll look at it tomorrow.

#

Actually, ping me if you solve it too.

dark dirge
#

sure, no problem. I'm at a place where I'm questioning reality ๐Ÿ™‚

polar kelp
#

Oh, I know that feeling.

dark dirge
#

like, it's been caching for a while and I'm just now seeing the effects of some other change. or something like that

#

but I track my YAML in git and I've only made a small change in quite some time. could be an interaction with another plugin

#

I have a question not sure if this is the appropriate channel to ask. I have video recordings that I'm able to pull up through home assistants media browser.

dark dirge
#

@polar kelp My fault - I hadn't fully internalized the breaking changes in 2.0.0 and my laziness only just came to light with the latest release

Has anyone struggled with loading the Decluttering-card lately?

(Despite it not being an integration).

It was easily solved using horizontal-stack, but I was hoping the gridcard would eliminate the need for those.

polar kelp
#

Try turning off the square setting.

stoic rain
#

It.. worked! That was not what I was expecting the square-option to perform.

stoic rain

That's the custom-button-card, right? It probably doesn't stretch to the entire height, because that used to be discouraged. But you can see that the grid is kind of square-ish.

Hello all. I'm using the storage configuration, and I've created a custom card (pure yaml, and references a couple of other resources). Is there a way to save that as a reusable card?

dark dirge
#

โ€˜Creating a custom cardโ€™ implies writing JavaScript. It sounds like you just configured an existing card

#

But no, thereโ€™s no easy way to save that and refer to it later. You can duplicate an existing card in the UI, though

#

If you manage your Lovelace config in YAML, you can use YAML anchors to do pretty much what you want

vapid field

yeah it's pretty easy, one moment

@rich eagle thanks for the reply! I want to use the same interface as myq. They show a door and its open or closed and I can click it to toggle its position

tropic adder
rich eagle
#

@pearl iron I think with the default buttons in HA we only have a static icon currently, but with custom cards you can change the icon based on the entity state.

tropic adder
#

And I'm mor familiar with the yaml configuration method, I just like what I see of the UI method, and wanted to see if what I wanted was possible within it. I can easily stick to yaml mode.

dark dirge
#

I think that's just allowing you to edit the YAML for a specific card manually. My earlier comments stand

tropic adder
#

Aye, I was just confirming that what you said was correct ๐Ÿ™‚

dark dirge
#

you should look into YAML anchors, but know that the anchor scope is the file where it's defined. You can't put it in a separate file and include it somewhere else

tropic adder
#

But I can use !include to separate things out into separate files, correct? Is that different than anchors?

#

Sorry for what may be stupid questions. I'm just googled out, after finding the same thing over and over, I realized I was probably using incorrect terminology, which is frequently my nemesis.

dark dirge
#

anchors are anchors

#

yes, you can include YAML from other files

#

be careful doing that for ui-lovelace.yaml, though, because changing included files doesn't automatically cause those changes to be reflected in the UI. You always need to at least touch ui-lovelace.yaml as well

#

I found it annoying enough that I just don't do it

tropic adder
#

Good to know, thanks!

dark dirge
#

I mostly use anchors for card_mod styles, like this:

# 
  red_background: &red_background |
    ha-card {
      background-color: red;
      box-shadow: none;
      }
#

and whenever I want to use it:

#

style: *red_background

tropic adder
#

And red_background is just defined at the base of the interface file?

dark dirge
#

somewhere in ui-lovelace.yaml

tropic adder
#

nods Ok, thanks

dark dirge
#

I put them before I start defining views

tropic adder
#

That gives me some to work with. And that's just a straight replacement, right? What I'm doing is a mashup of stuff using button-card and declutter-card to make a remote control. But I don't want that massive nested definition to be in the way when I'm setting up the other views.

#

Someone posted a custom remote they made in the comments for the roku-remote integration. I liked the idea of giving my kids limited access, and quick buttons for specific apps that they like most, like GoNoodle and PBS Kids.

#

And since I've not messed with HA since I broke the FreeNAS Jail I was running it in, I'm starting over mostly from scratch. But a lot has changed.

dark dirge
#

you can configure the interface based on the user with the state-switch card, if that helps

#

I use it for mobile/desktop

#

and you can use an !include for each user to get it out of the main file, but keep the touching ui-lovelace.yaml in mind

#

maybe once it's working and you aren't messing with it...

tropic adder
#

nods

So I'm having fun playing with CSS and different card configs.. what's a good way to store a configuration for reuse? like ha-card, h1, h2 etc?

#

So I don't have to add style: for every card.

dark dirge
#

with something like card_mod?

#

the answer is probably "YAML Anchors"

#

see examples above

#

Excellent! Where do you store all those, then?

#

And what is the difference between using:

card_mod:
  style: |

or just:

that's new syntax for card_mod

I answered that up there, too

I put them before I start defining views

#

or, whatever you put there is the name you use to call it.

with style: *red_background

#

The base use of layout-card 2 is as a replacement for the View, and the actual custom:layout-card is just an extra convenience thing. I recommend starting over, rather than trying to convert a precious layout-card based configuration.

#

Therefore, the code samples relate to views rather than cards.

#

got it I am starting over and I plan to work each one separately till it makes sense to me

#

In the UI for Layout-card, what is the purpose of the default option? there is no mention of it in the readme.

polar kelp
#

That's using the default lovelace layout engine. I probably should mention that,yes...

#

Pretty much exactly the same as horizontal, except with no options and it calculates the number of columns based on the width of the entire window rather than of the layout-card.

feral rivet
#

So it that case I would not have anything in the layout-options . The cards just go where every there is space?

polar kelp
#

yes

polar kelp
feral rivet
#

a bit of clarification is needed https://imgur.com/GxQvh2L to the options in the table go under view-layout: or layout_options the examples and the documentation appear to say either is correct?

polar kelp
#

That's a mistake from my side. I'll fix it.

#

It should be layout if a view, and layout_options if a layout-card. But I just realized I could make it layout for layout-card too. So I'll do that.

#

I got a bit overzealous with replacing things when the layout parameter for the cards had to change name...

Hi, I keep getting Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from [IP]). See the log for details. when attempting to login to home assistant from outside the network via an openlitespeed reverse proxy. What causes this and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance. #integrations-archived

seems like someone has had to use a relay and sensor to automate their garage door. I did I just need to make the interface work ๐Ÿคท

twin tusk
#

where is the question ?

pearl iron
#

I asked hours ago I am look for some examples of a cover for garage door

#

I have my sensor and my relay

#

I just don't know how to get a cool implementation

#

I have on/off status for the sensor on the door and I have a switch for the relay to make it toggle - and that works

twin tusk
#

so put entities card and that's it

pearl iron
#

right thats what I have - I want something all inclusive like I have with the myq system

#

shows the door status properly

twin tusk
#

all inclusive?

pearl iron
#

let me show you

#

oh I can't upload an image?

#

I mean there is a card that shows the garage door

twin tusk
#

read the topic

pearl iron
#

an image?

twin tusk
pearl iron
#

its neither

twin tusk
#

use whatever suits you

#

imgur

pearl iron
#

uploading now but im watching a twiks commercial

dark dirge
#

hungry?

pearl iron
#

im joe pesci

twin tusk
#

so what u want to achieve?

#

when u press button to open garage door ?

pearl iron
#

see the stuff on the left

#

that "Garage Door" icon?

#

its exactly what I want to achieve - with my grear - not liftmasters

#

๐Ÿ™‚

twin tusk
#

so?

pearl iron
#

so um im a NEWB

#

๐Ÿ™‚

#

and I don't kmnow how to do that

twin tusk
#

this is not your pic ?

pearl iron
#

the icon will show an open door with different color when open

#

it IS my pic

#

that stuff on the left is myq

#

the stuff on the right is my gear (entities card)

twin tusk
#

ok. maybe someone who understand you will help

pearl iron
#

im not sure wehat you don't understand. I didn't code that interface with the doors

#

that "came with the myq integration"

#

I would like to apply the shininess to my other sensors

#

does that help clear it up?

twin tusk
#

no

pearl iron
#

oh!

#

do you speak chinese?

twin tusk
#

perhaps

pearl iron
#

oh - I don't

#

let me explain slower

#

the icons with the door

#

see that?

#

thats a black box to me

#

it just appeared when I added the myq integration

dark dirge
pearl iron
#

yes

#

if you look at my yellow shit on the bottom thats what I tried - I think

#

let me compare code

#

yes

#

thats what I did too

#

just like that

twin tusk
#

:))))

#

so check what is your entity

pearl iron
#

welll

twin tusk
#

developer tools states

pearl iron
#

in RobC's example what is his entity?

twin tusk
#

oh...well...better try to read docs

pearl iron
#

perhaps you could send me a link to the docs? shoudl I read them all?

#

im not being obtuse or an asshole

dark dirge
#

there are two entities - a sensor for the door and a switch to open/close

pearl iron
#

correct

#

so in lovelace what do you reference/

#

thats the part I Think I am missing currently

#

can I see your Card Configuration?

dark dirge
#

I use a custom button card

pearl iron
#

is that voodoo?

twin tusk
#

:)))))))))

dark dirge
#

I'm using some fancy templates, but this is it:

pearl iron
#

I don't have that option by card

#

I will google it now

#

๐Ÿ™‚

dark dirge
# 
                    - type: 'custom:button-card'
                      entity: cover.garage_door
                      name: Garage Door
                      template: glance_template
                      variables:
                        abnormal: "open"
                        normal: "closed"
                      tap_action:
                        action: call-service
                        service: switch.turn_on
                        service_data:
                          entity_id: switch.garage_door_switch

RobC is a voodoo priest undercover

#

that's why he is coloured

#

now seriously: custom cards in HACS will help you achieve that

dark dirge
#

more templates, but here's some more:

pearl iron
#

yes thanks

dark dirge
# 
  glance_template:
    template: glance_parent_template
    styles:
      icon:
        - color: >
            [[[
              if (entity.state === variables.normal) return "green";
              else return "red";
            ]]]

more

#

theres more?!

#

oh jesus help me

#

Configuration errors detected:
No type provided.

#

noe easy copy and paste huh ๐Ÿ™‚

dark dirge
#

no

#

you need to install custom button card, but I don't recommend copying and pasting things you don't understand

#

consider this a concept

pearl iron
#

I understand everything

#

until it doesn't work ๐Ÿ™‚

twin tusk
#

if u don't find google

pearl iron
#

ill go in the other channel to aks where config/www is ๐Ÿ™‚

#

you guys will learn to love me

#

I am a lot of fun!

#

did you like Falcon and Winter Solider?

twin tusk
#

try to stay on-topic

pearl iron
#

oh I thought it was a lull in the conversation?

#

guess not

#

im install hacs now

#

good move, bad move?

#

hacs is installed

#

ok custom card is installed

#

that was easy

#

๐Ÿ™‚

#

and it kinda works

#

Door 1 is open but the icon isn't changing color or showing the open door

dark dirge
#

Is the cover template state reflecting what the card is looking for? And is it accurate?

pearl iron
#

um I don't know how to answer that- but the button did open the correct door?

#

I think I figured out that problem

#

but I have a second question

#

covers:
garage_door1:

#

I added the 1?

#

so I could have a 2, and 3 and 4?

#

does that make sense?

#

because now it says the entity doesn't exist?

dark dirge
#

Itโ€™s just a name for the entity

pearl iron
#

I don't understand wouldn't I replicate that code you showed for each door in the configuration.yaml?

dark dirge
#

Yes

#

Giving them different names, of course

pearl iron
#

and is that line under covers: the name?

#

i am assuming it is?

dark dirge
#

Yes

pearl iron
#

type: button
tap_action:
action: toggle
entity: cover.garage_door
show_icon: true
icon: 'hass:garage'

#

but I change teh name to garage_door1 I think

dark dirge
pearl iron
#

and it still shows?

dark dirge
#

You understand entity names?

pearl iron
#

nope

#

apparently not

#

cover:

  • platform: template
    covers:
    ** garage_door:**
#

i thought that was the name

#

it has a friendly name

#

so that block seems like it would have to be uniquie to each door

dark dirge
#

That is the name

#

It does

pearl iron
#

then it shouldn't work in lovelace

#

becasue I names it garage_door1:

#

and it still works

#

cover:

  • platform: template
    covers:
    garage_door1:
#

seems like I should have to use cover.garage_door1

#

where cover.garage_door should not be found?

#

when altering covers do you need to restart anything? I wouldn't think so

dark dirge
#

You can reload template entities

#

But you canโ€™t just change it and expect it to be reflected without doing that

#

It seems like your just randomly change entity IDs and I donโ€™t know why

pearl iron
#

why?>

#

well I copied your code and it worked for one door?

#

now I need to replicate for door 2 and door3 and door 4?

dark dirge
#

Maybe I shouldnโ€™t have pushed my code

pearl iron
#

your code is what I had

#

as a matter of fact I didn't copy it I already had it from the link you just sent

#

its pretty common - I just couldn't get it to work with the custom card jaz

#

z

dark dirge
#

You need to create cover templates for each door and use the entities that they create

pearl iron
#

entites

#

yes

dark dirge
#

You used โ€˜Offโ€™ where you want โ€˜offโ€™

pearl iron
#

but my display says off all lowercase
