but it's a start

#

i couldn't figure out where the svg was, so you've been a big help πŸ˜…

#

still mostly prefer the look of the stock card as well... but that's a different beast for me

#

i'm not a css or js dev lol

dark dirge
#

Neither am I. Just good at googling stuff

hallow mango
#

just want something in the end that can show both hourly for today AND daily for the week

#

and look like it "fits" with the rest of my cards

dark dirge
#

it looks like it just assembles various parts of the icon and overlays them. an SVG file is just the HTML that that function generates

#

for fun, paste the contents of this into test.svg, and then view it in a browser.

#

it's a cloud!

#

it's quite clever, actually

Is it possible to span a card over two columns in the grid card?

errant plover
#

Yes but it requires the use of panel mode and the custom-layout-card.

Hi guys, Is it possible to download an image to my Android via the Homeassistant App by pressing a Lovelace button?
I have a camera, and if I send a GET request to an url, then it redirects me to a webpage which shows the current high-res camera frame. The url is like this: http://xxx.xx:8000/photo.jpg

The goal is to get a high res image from the camera via HA. This could go the way as mentioned above, or when tapping the button, open the webpage in a browser, or show the hihg res image in the HA app in a pan and zoom mode.

errant plover
#

Set up a generic camera with that URL. Write a script to call the capture image service and send it to you via your preferred notification method. Call that script from the tap action of a Lovelace button.

open seal
#

thanks @errant plover I am currently using the mentioned method to receive low res images when my gate bell is pressed.

I found a solution: Lovelace Entities card: Web link component. Now the problem is my IP Camera is using realm authentication, so I cant input the credentials in the URL like user:pass@asd.com:port/image.jpg. This solution would work if there was a way to add the credentials to the lovelace card. I will do some more digging

Hi all, Is there any possibility to import a graph directly from influxDB (without using Grafana) to the lovelace?

karmic tiger
dark dirge
#

In general, no. Graph cards typically (always?) use history from recorder:, and Influx cannot be the default HA DB

vapid field
#

i use historygraph geting data from influx, but on influx we can create cool graphs

charred frigate
#

is there a way to spread the icons of the entities (along with their respective states) in the picture-glance-card a little more? There seems to be plenty of space in the "footer" of the card but for me all the things are like grouped together , and the result doesn't look that clean.

Hi, I am asking myself how to add power consumption to my power socket 2nd info?
I have two entities one for the socket and one for the power.

opal matrix
#

In the configuration -> Entites -> Search Entities, how can one filter on a specific Integration ?

burnt vale
#

I should mention that I am using KNX. So it's write protected

#

I can't edit it. I also tried to understand why, because it does not have a unique id. That's ok. I can imagine that it could somehow go via yaml, but how?

#

I think I will join XKNX on Discord. seams to be a specific problem. Thanks

#

Guys i can't figure out how to store an entity in a variable (button card) 😦

rich eagle
icy linden
#

For example

#

`type: 'custom:button-card'
entity: light.kitchen_spotlights
variables:

  • myvar: sensor.kitchen_spotlights_current_consumption`
#

doesn't work though

rich eagle
#

Ah the custom card, I thought the HA standard card. No idea about the custom one, sorry.

icy linden
#

hmm okay

dark dirge
#

you might not be able to if that field doesn't support templates. if it does, I would expect something like this: [[[ return states['light.test_light'] ]]]

icy linden
#

I have a template, in which i want to reference the 'myvar' entity

#

My spotlights card is just a switch (on/off), so im trying to display the current consumption too

dark dirge
#

I’m suggesting a modification to your variable definition

#

But you can probably just use the template where it’s needed, rather than defining a variable

#

What you did above was to store a string in a variable. That could be fine, but you didn’t say how it didn’t work

icy linden
#

I stored a string right? I want to store the entity itself. So that my template can reference the current state of that entity

dark dirge
#

You don’t store an entity, but you should be able to reference that variable to get the state of that entity

icy linden
#

I see.

dark dirge
#

As in the example I provided. Replace β€˜light.test_light’ with a variable name

icy linden
#

Okay i'll give it a go

icy linden
#

[[[ return states[variables.myvar].state ]]]

#

This works, but the consumption does not update while the light is on

#

It just fetches the state of the entity once. And the number remains the same

#

hmm

#

Is it because i am storing the state it in my variables: as a string?

dark dirge
#

Where are you using that template?

#

this definition, for example, works fine and updates in real time:

# 
                    - type: 'custom:button-card'
                      entity: switch.whole_house_fan
                      name: >
                        [[[
                          return "Fan - " + states['sensor.master_bedroom_temperature'].state + "F";
                        ]]]
#

if you're storing that state in a variable and just referring to it later, then yeah, you'll just get the stored value

icy linden
#

I see, thanks Rob. Reason I am looking into this is. My template is 50-60 lines. So i want to use the code once as a template, for all the light cards. I thought there would be a way to refer to other entities that I choose (such as power consumption) via the use of variables in each of my button-cards. (Since each light has it's own unique power consumption entity)

dark dirge
#

I suspect there is, exactly as you described.

#

you would just need to use a variable for the entity_id

#

you can also refer to the entity that you define for the button in a template like this:

# 
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: persistent_notification.create
      service_data:
        message: "[[[ return `${entity.attributes.friendly_name}` ]]]"
#

so you don't necessary need a variable to customize a specific button with a specific entity

Hi, I am new to HA and coming over from Hubitat. I have a problem that I cant figure out. can some one help?

errant plover
#

Not unless you tell us what the problem is.

kind shellBOT
#

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

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

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

I am trying to get a custom card to work in lovelace that will show me the name of my sensor, the state of the sensor, the date and time of the last trigger (mm/dd/yyyy, HH:MM:SS AM/PM), and the time since last trigger. Finally, it should sort in most recent trigger. For example, "Motion Living Romm closed at 04/07/2021, 11:00 pm. 40 minites ago."

Thank you, I will check it out.

#

I'm using a custom-card and I want to get rid of the group lights and start using the rooms/areas that is within HA... is this at all possible to call this by the "entity" value at all?

errant plover
#

Which custom card?

heavy cove
#

custom-button-card

#

or even the lights card

#

i just want to interact with the group rather than each individual light

errant plover
#

It's quite a while since I set up my custom-button cards but from memory I had to use groups not areas. Check the github instructions, this may have been added.

heavy cove
#

what about in just the normal lovelave light card?

errant plover
#

Entity/group only according to the docs.

heavy cove
#

hmm.. i'm really confused as to why this isn't implemented yet.. it seems a no-brainer to me... areas makes things so much easier to organise.. and having to press 3 buttons to turn off/on one room of lights is just silly.. one buttong for 3 lights in one room makes way more sense

#

the only way to do this so far is with light-> groups.. and that just creates duplication and makes it really hard to streamline your config as you can easily loose track of entities

quaint snow
#

use a switch template or just group them into one

errant plover
#

Light groups are easy enough to make.

heavy cove
#

easy to make.. mistakes when createing automations etc

#

light groups are in YAML... group groups are in the UI ... just trying to say it needs streamlining

errant plover
#

Ha! There are more than a few parts of home assistant left to polish, and only a small development team. Give it time and use the best available for now.

heavy cove
#

you SHOULD be able to interact with groups with any object/card etc

quaint snow
#

I thought you could?

heavy cove
#

nope.. u can't interact with groups without creating it in the YAML first... u CAN with automations easily enough.. but not general everyday cards

#

as they are not an entity

#

one group = many entities

quaint snow
#

well that is the idea of the groups.yaml, to create groups... maybe we have a misunderstanding?

heavy cove
#

yes... but you have "areas", "groups" and "entites... I want to turn a light off by "AREA"... and to it like a group kind of thing.. I don't want to create a group each time I create an "area"

#

or modigy the group every time i add something to an area

quaint snow
#

well you can't... you have a solution though.

heavy cove
#

yes.. there is a "work around".. not a solution haha.. the problem becomes when trying to troubleshoot thigns and find out where things go etc.. google / alexa groupings.. button-cards - light cards... don't work all that well

quaint snow
#

it is the solution, unless you want to become a dev and make the change yourself?

And as for the problem, just remember that when you create a button or card or whatever, use the group entity

heavy cove
#

i would love to be a dev.. trouble is i just don't understand / not very good at coding

#

im just saying it's an area that could do with some TLC if it's not able to be done now.. most of the code is there... but you can't do anything useful with it yet

mild veldt
#

that's a well known sentiment, but the "most of the code is there" claim is misleading

#

That turns on everything assigned to the area though

plain onyx
#

Anyone know the easiest way to create a button to enable/disable An automation ?

errant plover
#

The easiest way is to add the automation as an entity in an entities card. There will be an enable/disable toggle to the right of it.

#

If you want a Lovelace button, the tap action would be to call the homeassistant.toggle service for the automation entity.

plain onyx
#

@errant plover thnks

quaint snow
errant plover
#

Considering it already looks and acts exactly like a switch if added to an entities card, I see little point in doing so.

Im looking to understand how my recorder: and history: settings should be for a normal home assistant instance. Had it all deactivated initially which explains why I didnt get any graphs to work. Now I turned recorder on and with purge every 5 days. Im running HA on a unraid server so no issues with sd card etc. Do anyone have a good example of an "normal" way of what to include/exclude that I can use as a base?

'Normal' is whatever works for you.

Hello, I am looking for a card for editing calendars. I got the "view calendar" card, and I got a custom card to input an event to the calendar through calling a service, but I can't figure out how to make edit and delete event cards, and would preferably have them in a more intuitive setup. If that is even possible? (I am using a google calendar)

Is there a way to make this card smaller so that it fits the two cards, there's a lot of space beneath which I dont need? https://imgur.com/zRqCNDn

charred frigate
#

@charred jetty I think that HACS related issues can go to either #general-archived or even better HACS' own Discord server where I believe Ludeeus and other people may offer you some help depending on your issue

#

@upper tulip there is this custom beauty by @polar kelp (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod) which allows you to inject CSS values to (almost) every HA card. Idk if it fits your case I am nowhere near to being dev-oriented but "size" in my mind sounds like a CSS thing. So perhaps it can help you.

Hi all

#

tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.water_a_zone

#

Is it possible from UI lovelace

#

to call two different scripts

#

when tapping a button

#

depending on the state of a sensor?

charred frigate
#

@errant peak it sounds like a templating thing. i.e. using some if..then..else magic to check on the state and deciding which service to run. What I am not sure is a) whether you can have templates inside the card configuration and b) if those templates are syntaxed the same way as everywhere else.
For example I see this (if I scroll up a bit in this channel): https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/460846676358332417/829447251688030259
which clearly indicates that some form of templating is supported - however the brackets and the overall syntax seem a little different than what I'm used to.

Thanks! Will check this out

Personally I am looking for a way to have different views per device. I am not looking so much for different cards per view , as the ability to have a view with panel: true for some device_A and not for device_B , _C or _D.

Hi all. Wondering about unit conversion in HA. I have a tire pressure sensor which emits values for pressure and temperature in kPa and degrees C, respectively. I have named the sensors "Tire 1 Pressure" and "Tire 1 Temperature". I have my HA Unit System set to "Imperial" in "Configuration -> General". When I display the entities on an entities card, the temperature is auto-converted to degrees F (and it automatically figures out that the sensor is a temperature sensor so I see the thermometer icon), but the tire pressure is registered as a generic sensor (easy enough to fix with device_class: pressure in customize.yaml) and units are kPa. Not sure why one is automatically converted, but the other is not. Should I be using a different device_class or naming the sensor differently or using a different unit_of_measurement ...?

#

Obligatory mea culpa for using Imperial units. Some day ... πŸ™‚

tame dove
karmic tiger
#

I think they already did:

(easy enough to fix with device_class: pressure in customize.yaml)

#

Is the question more 'why does HA not convert kPa to imperial'?

mystic orbit
#

... so if I have a sensor that has a defined unit_of_measurement because that's how the sensor delivers it, but in customize.yaml I say use a different unit_of_measurement it will change the display but not what is like, stored in the database?

#

I do wonder why degrees C were auto-converted and kPa is not.

karmic tiger
#

You don't want to do that. Specify what it's actually in and Lovelace is supposed to present it in your preferred style.

mystic orbit
#

Okay. So then I'm still looking for pointers about how to change the display of that sensor. I guess I could use a template sensor to convert but that seems like a waste.

karmic tiger
#

I don't think HA is attempting any conversion for pressure. I just switched between metric and imperial and my pressure sensors all report metric.

#

A template sensor won't help, since Lovelace will still decide what units to display, even if the value is converted.

mystic orbit
#

I guess I could try to properly grok kPa for my tires.

karmic tiger
#

If you want to go the template sensor route, you'll probably have to drop the unit of measurement and hard code that into your templated value.

#

If there's not already a PR/issue for this, it seems like a good one to raise.

steel monolith
#

I've gotten around the conversion using template sensors - but you have to set the unit to something other than what HA expects. There's a unicode character that has both the degree symbol and C as a single character.
unit_of_measurement: '℃'

mystic orbit
#

But I have an environmental sensor which I load into HA in hPa, and that displays in hPa. I have a device_class: pressure customize.yaml entry for it, and the sensor unit_of_measurement is defined as hPa.

#

Hmm. From the HA "sensor" integration page:pressure: Pressure in hPa or mbar. I wonder if the imperial pressure conversion is just not (yet?) implemented in HA ...?

#

If there was a universal pressure conversion, it would be good to have an override for folks that are partially in each world (i.e., mbar or hPa makes more sense to me for environmental sensors than does inHg or psi, but for tires psi is my go-to).

karmic tiger
#

Great suggestion but it'll get lost in the noise here. Raise it on the forums.

Ok, so i've googled and either i'm struggling or not searching right. I'm trying to put on a new lovelace card, and the instructions say to place it in your config/www directory.... is that a "config/www" directory or is that meaning config directory or www directory? I'm running as a docker on synology with the image "homeassistant/home-assistant:latest"

karmic tiger
#

It's a path... config/www means the www folder within the config folder.

topaz marten
#

in /config i don't have a www folder. is it simply a matter of creating it and placing it there, or would it possibly be somewhere else?

karmic tiger
#

You'll need to create it and then restart HA for it to detect it.

topaz marten
#

awesome, thanks for the assist mono... i'll give it a shot

topaz marten
#

ok, bear with me, i'm a HA noob.... so i created /config/www/ and put the weather-card-chart.js file in there. then i went in the GUI to config/lovelace dashboards/resources and i added the url /local/weather-card-chart.js as a resource type javascript module, then restarted HA. I went to add card, and it didn't display there, so i assume it must be manually added? so i add card as manual using the example on the git page, and it says "custom element doesn't exist: weather-card-chart". am i missing a step?

rich eagle
#

The custom card name has to be prefixed with custom:, so custom:weather-card-chart.

topaz marten
#

@rich eagle I have the following:
type: 'custom:weather-card-chart'
title: Weather
weather: weather.openweathermap

#

@formal tide i see a get weather-card-chart.js that returns a 200 OK. If i look at the response it matches the contents of the .js file

#

at least if i'm looking at it right

formal tide
#

that is weird, i expected a error there

topaz marten
#

i'm guessing i'm missing something with integrating the .js into home assistant.... i just went to lovelace dashboards in the gui, clicked resources at the top, add resource, gave it /local/weather-card-chart.js as the URL and resource type JavaScript Module. is there something else i'm missing? I've restarted several times during troubleshooting, so it's not that it hasn't been restarted

when the console reports 200 it's fine 🀷

That has all the information you would need on scripts, and calling services from it.

Define "action"?

frail bridge

Something you can call with a tap-action or hold-action

No. You know how an action can be call-service or navigate or something?

Instead of doing

  action: call-service

you now need to do
```tap_action:
  action: fire-dom-event
  browser_mod:
    command: toast
    message: Hello, world!```

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this. It's not a toast, it's a popup. When calling a popup (like a popup card) you need to use deviceId: this, which can't be used with a service call

#

Although this also does apply to a toast

karmic tiger
#

You literally just shared two snippets, both of which reference toasts.

#

Humour me. Try that, see if it achieves what you're after.

Stop tagging me...

frail bridge
#

Sorry, not trying to ping you.

#

I apologize if I'm coming across as rude, I'm just not doing a good job of representing my question

kindred haven
#

I think you really should go back to the beginning, and start with explaining what it is that you're trying to accomplish.

karmic tiger
#

This release changes the way browser_mod functions are called from the frontend when you want something to happen only on the current device.
From the backend, you can't tell it which device to do stuff on.

#

If you want a script that has zero knowledge of which browsers are open to show something, it'll show on all browsers.

frail bridge
#

Does that make more sense?

karmic tiger
#

It was fairly clear from the beginning, minus the mixup between toasts and popups... and the answer remains the same.

#

There already exist services created by the browser mod integration which call popups/toasts from services. They have limitations (as I've already described) but they do what you're asking.

#

The downside of calling from the backend is that it won't know which browser to affect.

frail bridge
karmic tiger
#

You can't do browser magic from anything but the browser, no.

#

DOM events happen entirely within the browser. If you're already in the browser, JavaScript can fire DOM events for you (which is what the card does for you).

#

The backend part of the integration will happily relay info to the frontend but has no way to identify a single browser.

frail bridge
#

And there's no way to fire a dom event, from a service call. Got it. Guess I'll just have to ask the dev of the card to integrate more of Card_Mod 🀷

#

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it! Sorry if I'm a bit bad at explaining this, I'm pretty new to HA

karmic tiger
#

I'm sure if there was an easy way to do it, Thomas would have already considered implementing it. He's a great dev and really cares about creating useful cards/integrations for us.

Hi guys. I'm trying to get HA groups to show the color it's set to using the custom button card. I have the following config for it, which works perfectly for singular lights, but I cannot get it to show the color for groups. Anyone have an idea on how I might make this work?

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KGYXV7yhmD/

#

It's probably a dumb question, but I'm honestly burnt out from a renovation and just can't seem to find a proper fix for it 😦

frail bridge
kindred haven
#

The thing is, I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible as script isn't my strongest suit.
The actual simplest solution would be to use a ZHA group, the entity of which does contain the RGB information and therefore does show the color. But I'm finding ZHA groups to be a bit wonky.

#

Which, in all fairness, might also be the bulbs.

frail bridge
#

script isn't my strongest suit.
Same here. But yeah, I don't really know if you can do anything on the card. If all the lights are always the same color, you could try using a template to set the icon color to just one of the lights, but that also might be a bit too complicated

kindred haven
#

That is actually not a bad idea. That might be worth looking into. And I went back and checked, it's definitely the ZHA groups that are wonky. Turning off a group which turns itself back on and such.

frail bridge
#

Are you using ZHA groups? Or Homeassistant groups

kindred haven
#

I started with a ZHA group, because that sends the signal to all bulbs simultaneously rather than subsequently. But because that works wonky as hell, I'm using HA groups now. It does work a lot better, but I want to perfect it a bit.

frail bridge
#

I don't think you can get the LED info from a group entity. I would try using a light template, as then you don't have to deal with the icon templates. Let me see if I can write something really quick.

# karmic tiger What do you mean by 'last tripped'? How is that different from the last time the...

Last tripped is when the sensor was last activated and survives a reboot of HA. For example, my motion is tripped and the last_tripped_time is 2021-04-09 13:00 and the last state change is say, one minute ago. If HA gets rebooted or some other change takes place, all sensors report they tripped a moment ago but the time stamp still has 2021-04-09 13:00. However, that time is only displayed if I click on the card. I cant figure out how to list all attributes on the same entity card line.

Hi, so i have had a version of HA running for about 2 years, as of yesterday i can no longer connect it via duckdns or directly to the ip, i get "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". I know it is up and running because my unifi software run's in a HA addon and i am able to connect to that fine. I am also able to connect to the shared folder, but i was wondering if anyone can give me guidance on how to connect to the front end

Hi all, what would be the best way to troubleshoot an Uncaught Error showing up in the logs, that seams to point at lovelace/me?

hallow mango
#

catch it

worldly silo
#

Is there anyone who might be able to help me debug a curious problem? After a recent update (roughly 3 weeks ago) my main lovelace view started appearing completely blank. (If I watch closely, when I click to load this particular view, it appears for the briefest of moments and then goes blank.) I narrowed it down to the custom:simple-weather-card that I'm using. If I remove it from the vertical stack it's in, everything displays properly. If I add it back, the whole view appears blank again.

The rub is, if I copy that same config that I just removed into its own card, it displays fine. It's only when I include it within the context of the rest of my vertical stack that it causes the whole thing to vanish. Any idea why that would happen?

There are no log errors for this problem, it just fails to display in the vertical stack alongside all my other cards, Give it its own card by itself, and it works fine.

edit: a bit more testing and it works even in the current view, as long as its separated into its own card.

i'm trying to use a custom integration that instructs me to create new yaml files ( ex; sensors.yaml , binary_sensors.yaml ) for sensors.

is simply creating these yaml files enough for HA to load them and utilize them on startup? or do i need to somehow add them into configuration.yaml?

#

i know configuration yaml has things like;

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml```
but i'm not sure if i need to include my new yaml files the same way?

Hey Guys,
i have a little problem setting up a part of my User Interface for gas prices.
In this case i have 50+ entities i want to order by current state while displaying them with one of their attributes as their name.
The sorting-part is working well with auto-entities.
But i cant figure out how to have sorting and custom names/attributes as their name.
Any Ideas?

errant plover
#

Making an attribute appear as the name sounds like a job for the custom Lovelace Templates card.

#

There's two. Use the one that uses JavaScript templates. The jinja one will introduce a large processing overhead.

mighty turtle
#

Thanks for the headsup. yeah, i knew this day would come. Templates are my Archnemesis πŸ˜„

errant plover
#

And just to make things worse for you it's a whole new type of templating (JavaScript) 🀣

Actually I thought auto-entities supported templates?

I'm trying to add a timer to the front end, is there a way to use the entity card and have it show the time counting down?

#

it works if it's in entities, but for entity it just stays at the start time

dark dirge
#

only some cards support that because it's not easy to do reliably

#

the custom button card does, but I don't know which others do

limber mist
#

I'll try that

dark dirge
#

maybe the entity card does

limber mist
#

the entity card seems to randomly change

dark dirge
#

timers are handled in the backend, so it's annoying and inefficient to update the current value in the frontend reliably. You either need to poll the value or set up an event/listener, or just maintain a separate counter in the frontend that you hope stays in sync

limber mist
#

that'd be fine for my purposes

dark dirge
#

when I wanted more control, I just built my own timer with an input_number

#

an automation with a time_pattern, decrement input_number, trigger on 0, etc.

errant plover
#

I think if you have 50 sensors you should stick with the JavaScript version.

limber mist
#

the entity card with a timer looks pretty nice, too bad it just doesn't work

hallow mango
#

doesn't update?

limber mist
#

yeah

#

only if the timer pauses/starts

errant plover
#

How often do you need it to update? I have some countdown timers that increment reliably on the minute. They're basically template sensors that subtract the time from an input number.

limber mist
#

well it's a 4 minute timer, so every second

#

but it works on custom card - probably just a front-end timer

#

I have a 30s alarm countdown. Custom Button card was okay with a timer until I started playing with templates

Hi Guys and gals, I know it's possible to have a system generated dashboard and combine that with a yaml (i had this before i screwed up massivly and deleted all of my config!)

No, you can't use permissions with the default dashboard. You can take control of it and edit it down to what you want exposed to all users then create another dashboard, leave that one as system generated and add permissions.

It must have been a button, but I don't see how that integrates based on the official Button Card docs. Anyone have ideas? Pretty sure I got the full setup from a blog or similar

#

I was using a NR entity that had the timer as a state!

frail bridge
#

That's strange. Homeassistant thinks my dashboard is yaml configured, but I can still edit it via the UI

#

Any ideas why that might have happened?

#

Wait they are two different dashboards?

#

Ah. I reloaded my browser, and now It's fixed

does anyone have a good card for fans on mobile? would like a button to turn on/off then another for low/med/high. I have tried to use button-card but A it dosn't update teh state if you don't press teh button and B the call service dosn't work

#

I'm trying to use the upcoming-media-card with Emby, which displays a list of shows just fine, but doesn't have the image. I can see the requests failing in the console, and also that the API URL has "http" replaced with "https", which would appear to be the cause of the issue. I have the emby upcoming media integration configured with SSL set to false, and the sensor itself shows the image URLs correctly with "http", so I'm assuming that Lovelace is appending "https". I thought adding the url to allowlist_external_urls might help, but no luck. Any ideas?

Hey guys, how would I configure a grid card to appear side by side

honest coyote
honest coyote
low grove
#

So basically instead of them appearing in 1 column, I'd like them to appear horizontally

#

If I add a normal light card it does appear horizontally, not sure why grid isn't doing the same

honest coyote
#

It's based on the height of the cards. You could try adding another row to the first card to see if it makes a difference.

#

But if you're just going for edge-to-edge grids, use a single grid card and panel mode.

low grove
#

That worked, thanks so much

#

what's the logic behind that btw

honest coyote
#

The "masonry view" section.

low grove
#

alright thanks

honest coyote
#

But I'm assuming the plain button card you added was a little taller than the grid, so it took up too much space beneath the first grid and got pushed to the next column.

Here I have an entities card, displaying the same entity twice. First on a conditional row and second, just as is. The conditional, does not show the state of the entity, just the slider. Why is that? https://pastebin.com/1E7e2JCa

covert sierra
#

as in, turn the first letter uppercase, or change to any text

#

can you make a card with no entity? I just want it to show text.

#

i was thinking i could solve the issue ive had above by using a Conditional then render the cards with custom text value.

Hi everyone! I've shown Home Assistant to my dad, and he loved it and wanted one too. Then he asked me how he could make a button to turn off all his living room lights, and I started thinking about groups etc. - is there any easier way of creating something like that these days, or is it still only from the config file?

mild veldt
#

@vivid swift homeassistant.turn_off service allows you to give a list of entities

vivid swift
#

Hmm, and for like a light button?

#

He really wants to play with lovelace, and it'd be nice if he didn't have to play with config files too much

no, you'd need to create a light gropu

vivid swift
#

Hmm, but I can't have area.living_room inside a light card?

#

And inside of a button, it says the area.living_room entity isn't available

rich eagle
#

Ok, I misunderstood you then. I thought you were talking about service calls where those selectors are available. For usage in light cards you indeed need direct entities => back to light groups.

But with buttons you can define the action and should be able to call a service with target set to an area.

vivid swift
#

You now, now that I think of it, in the living_room area there's also a siren. Glad I didn't turn that one on with the lights, that'd have been an interesting phone call with my dad πŸ™‚

#

I'll bite the bullet and create a light group then.

#

Tempted to create a script that makes a light group for each area, but that's another rabbit hole

Service data to include (e.g. entity_id: media_player.bedroom) when action defined as call-service. If your service_data requires an entity_id, you can use the keywork entity,** this will actually call the service on the entity defined in the main configuration of this card**. Useful for configuration templates

Hi everyone

#

I have an air quality sensor, but Lovelace only shows the values as discrete - impossible to graph them.

#

I've tried to hardcode the measurement unit to 'aqi', because the documentation says that lovelace will show values as discrete if there's no unit

dark dirge
#

if you add a unit_of_measurement, it will display a graph for the history. You may need to wait for the older unitless values to flush out

vivid swift
#

Ahh, all right then.

#

That would have been puzzling πŸ™‚

#

Thanks Rob

#

Would it be worth opening a bug in the integration?

dark dirge
#

if the integration doesn't add a uom, you could

#

it's easy to add

#

for you, or as part of the integration

vivid swift
#

Yes, a quick trip to customize.yaml for me

#

But I wonder if there should always be an uom

dark dirge
#

seems reasonable. you could file an issue, or a PR

#

it's as simple as adding something like this:

# 
    @property
    def unit_of_measurement(self):
        """Unit of measurement."""
        return "aqi"
vivid swift
#

Looks even simpler

#

Hmmm. But I don't think it's AQI - it's less than 1.

#

And apparently it's unclear what the value represents. So, uh, the bug makes sense.

and what is your "end goal" card supposed to look like?

#

like mine?

#

or something else you've got in mind?

Im trying to get a page with persons horizontally.
Every person will then have their picture, and devices vertically.

not a "badge" like mine then?

you want the full image, not cropped to a circle

But did you share the correct image? I don't see a picture there

Hi everyone. Home Assistant is crashing for me in Safari on iOS - is anyone else using it this way?

#

Nothing in the console, of course, that'd be too easy. And it works on Safari on the desktop.

dark dirge
#

what does "crashing" mean here?

past rapids
#

Is there a way to display the delay remaining on an automation in the dashboard? For example, "X seconds until lights turn off"?

vivid swift
dark dirge
#

Use the IP address

vivid swift
#

The same happens on nabu casa

#

Yeah, crashing on the ip address too

vivid swift
past rapids
#

Hm, I think there's a unique message if it's a "too many redirects" error. It could be running out of memory, crashing the process?

vivid swift
#

It does look like it's running out of memory, yeah :/

past rapids
#

My suggestion would be to load it up on desktop, and then check the stats both in devtools and in activity monitor. If that doesn't give pointers, consider plugging your iphone in and watching the console log while loading the page. My guess would be a dashboard config that is somehow recursing or leaking memory.

vivid swift
#

Hah, I'm actually doing this right now πŸ™‚

#

I didn't even know you could recurse in lovelace?

past rapids
past rapids
vivid swift
#

You could do both, I guess. Start a timer, ignore it for the rest of your automation, just use it to display things.

past rapids
#

@vivid swift i did just realize, isn't the default url /lovelace/overview? Perhaps change your default dashboard for now to at least narrow it down.

vivid swift
#

Ah, I renamed it to 'home'

#

Chrome says ~70MB for homeassistant, which strikes me as not huge

#

And nothing in the console log

past rapids
#

Do you have a Mac to check desktop safari in? It may not be a HA bug but a Safari bug.

vivid swift
#

Yeah it works fine on desktop safari

#

It's not crashing now that I have it in the console, actually :/

dark dirge
#

Create a new, blank dashboard and set it to the default

past rapids
#

I had the same thing with the php webserver last week, would hang normally, worked fine with -vvv

vivid swift
#

A dashboard or a panel?

#

How do you set one as default for everyone, actually?

dark dirge
vivid swift
#

"To change the default dashboard, create a new file ui-lovelace.yaml in your configuration directory and" etc. ?

#

Actually I suppose I can just go to /lovelace-blank

dark dirge
#

Whatever url you get when you create it and navigate to it

vivid swift
#

Ok, that doesn't seem to crash

#

Or at least I can't get it to crash

Hey, is there any option to show all the lights from one room in one entites card? I mean that it would automatically populate all the lights in my room to that card, and if some light is added / removed from the room, it will remove the light from the card, too. I mean separate buttons for each light, in one card. Thanks a lot for any answers ❀️

vivid swift
#

Yeah Mavi with the auto entities thing from hacs

#

You could tell it to filter to pick everything from an area

# 
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
  type: entities
filter:
  include:
    - area: garden
#

Like that

#

It's easily installed with HACS

#

It has some rough edges, but works fine for stuff like that

plush fulcrum
#

oh! Thank you very much! I'll look into it!

vivid swift
#

In my experience, it's often more maintainable, if your lights don't move that much, to use an entity panel and add to one and delete from the other

#

By editing the yaml, it's a copy-paste job

hallow mango
#

idk how many times I've looked at those docs and didn't even realize you could do it by area πŸ˜…

#

I don't build my dashboard that way, that's probably why

vivid swift
#

Hey, at last areas are useful, huh? πŸ™‚

hallow mango
#

the only thing I think areas "do" for me is hint google where to stick them so they know what room I'm in when I say "turn off the light" lol

#

but I still move everything around just to stay organized

#

except I don't deal with entities into areas, meh

plush fulcrum
#

I have a few tabs that I don't use often, and some are the same tabs sorted differently - by area, then other lights tab with floorplan. But right now I clicked on the lights by area tab and I am missing so many entities there lol.. didn't update it in like 6 months..

hallow mango
#

devices are for areas

vivid swift
#

Hmm, now HA isn't responding at all

hallow mango
#

😬

vivid swift
#

I wonder if this little raspberry pi 3 is too weak for the video feeds

#

Yeah, it's not even responding over ssh

hallow mango
#

that's not good

#

feeds from cameras? rtsp?

vivid swift
#

It had previously killed a few things because it was out of memory because ffmpeg. Guess it struck something more crucial this time.

#

I don't know. Ring and canary.

#

My dad saw Home Assistant at my place, and wanted it for his.

hallow mango
#

ah yeah gotcha

#

integrated with some integration then?

#

I would be guessing OOM though

vivid swift
#

Yeah, both the ring and the canary integration

Is there a way to me to set the dashboard dynamically based on a user's location?

#

Or change a card, would be a better question

hallow mango
#

you could try something with the state-switch card

#

do you want to show certain cards at certain locations?

#

you could set up zones and some automation to tell when user A is in zone B, for example

#

maybe turn on an input boolean, and then use that as the state entity for your state-switch card

#

haven't ever attempted that but could be an option

#

or maybe just use the person entity, if those states represent the current zone

#

not sure how that works exactly

vapid field

Hello, I have read this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/frontend/
But I don't understand it I think since it's not working as I expect it to.
I am trying to define the default theme for everyone that hasn't specified a theme.
What am I doing wrong here? This is my configuration.yml

  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
  frontend.set_theme:
    name: ios-dark-mode-blue-red```
vapid field
#

If I check the config validate I get this:
Invalid config for [frontend]: [frontend.set_theme] is an invalid option for [frontend]. Check: frontend->frontend->frontend.set_theme. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 24).
But that page tells me that I have to use that πŸ€”

dark dirge
#

That’s a service call that goes in an automation or script, not in configuration.yaml

vapid field
#

Ah okay! i just found an article where someone has done that thru an automation. Im gonna try that one out now.

#

Cool thanks for the tip it works like a sharm now!

Not all cards support style (check the docs). In fact I think it's only the picture element card that does (don't quote me on that, I didn't check). For all the rest there's card-mod.

Evening!
I am trying to implement a news feed into my dashboard.
I found this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/feedreader/
I have set what the page tells me into my configuration.yaml but I don't think I quite get how this works.
I don't see how I can now call this to display it into my dashboard.

It tells you that all it does is send events when it picks up new entries. You need something else too.

frail bridge
#

I was trying to figure out if I could maybe use the {{user}} object or something

hallow mango
#

you mentioned just doing a card afterwards

frail bridge
#

Yeah, even with a singular card, it's difficult to represent the location for five people. I had to use a state switch, with each person having another state switch under that. It lags out the whole dashboard because it has to check location every time it starts

"doesn't work"?

vapid field

What do you mean? I think the issue might be that the url isn't ending with .img for example. Because if I use exactly the same but I replace the url with a image url ending with .img it works.

Hi guys i am trying already few hours to get a some sort of picture card for my washer.. Due to the old thing i have to use a smart plug in combination with a binary sensor. So if the binary sensor is true i want the picture to show a gif and if its false i want it to be a static .png. Sadly i cant get it to work with state_image. I would appreciate any help!
I already tried a pretty simple configuration but the picture in the background keeps grey...
type: picture-entity
entity: sensor.washer_status
state_image:
'on': /local/washer.png
'off': /local/washer_on.gif

vapid field

How about you make a static gif πŸ˜›

And "Result type:" says ?

string?

hardy goblet

boolean

polar kelp
#

then you want true without quotes.

#

or on without quotes or yes... but that's just because yaml is stupid.

hardy goblet
# polar kelp then you want `true` without quotes.

ah ok, thanks for your help I really appreciate it! My coding skills with yaml are limited. So if i change to on or true without quotes and save nothing changes and if i edit again the quotes are back :/

polar kelp
#

Ah yes... that's js-yaml not allowing non-string keys...

Is there any straight forward easy solution to get a lovelace card with 2 different pictures depending on the watts of a smart plug ?

Only in the special case that you want one picture for 0 and one for anything else.

No.. wait... you may run into the same problem.

I'll try to fix this for 21.5

hardy goblet

Is this why many people are using picture elemnt-card with a spinning element on top instead of two different pictures (one moving and the other static ) ?

i also tried to put a conditional card, type image on top of the picture element but it says the config is invalid, even if the config of the conditional card it self is working .. I am just on the edge of my understanding :/

polar kelp
#

Ah! Wait.

#

The problem is not what I thought. It's developer_template thats lying to you.

#

The state of your sensor isn't true. It's "True"with quotes and a capital T.
