dark dirge
#

which card are you using? Generally the answer is "no", but if it supports a template for that field, then yes

#

a more clunky way to do it is with a set of conditional or state-switch cards

timid moss
#

The card is custom:sun. I was thinking of using a conditional card, but would that work with the grid layout of custom layout card?

dark dirge
#

if it accepts cards, then yes

#

I actually do exactly that with a custom:layout-card and two conditional cards

timid moss
#

So I tried adding a custom layout card with two conditional cards within it, but each conditional card is smaller than the full width of the card. I tried adding panel: true to the custom layout card, but it didn't seem to change anything

#

Doesn't look like panel mode is supported in layout card

dark dirge
#

panel mode is for a view, not a card

#

unless it's something special for that layout card

timid moss
#

Yeah I figured haha

dark dirge
#

the conditional card itself shouldn't change the look of the card it's displaying

#

I've seen mysterious discrepancies of a few pixels in height, but not other than that

timid moss
#

Top is custom: weather and bottom is custom:sun inside a conditional inside a custom:layout

dark dirge
#

you can change the width of the layout card

timid moss
#

Oh true

#

Sorry I just started out with all this

dark dirge
# 
                type: custom:layout-card
                layout_type: horizontal
                layout_options:
                  max_cols: 1
                  width: 800
                cards:

After upgrading from a few months of no updates, my elements "don't exist".

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

lovelace:
  resources:
    - url: /local/simple-thermostat.js?v=1.0
      type: module

and I have

/config/www/simple-thermostat.js
timid moss
#

All good now, thanks @dark dirge !

dark dirge
#

@lucid pumice are you using Lovelace in YAML mode?

lucid pumice
#

ye, think i just figured it out. it needs to be in the config now?

#

before it was in the lovelace yaml file

dark dirge
#

yes, you don't put it in ui-lovelace.yaml anymore

#

that was change from a long time ago

lucid pumice
#

hmm. still not working. and I've restarted the whole thing.

dark dirge
#

from an example further down:

# 
lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  # Include external resources only add when mode is yaml, otherwise manage in the 
    resources in the lovelace configuration panel.
lucid pumice
# 
lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  resources:
    - url: /local/simple-thermostat.js?v=1.0
      type: module
    - url: /local/power-monitor/power-monitor.js?v=6
      type: module
    - url: /local/monster-card/monster-card.js?v=1
      type: module
    - url: /local/community/lovelace-xiaomi-vacuum-map-card/xiaomi-vacuum-map-card.js
      type: module
dark dirge
#

so does that work? It's not what you posted before

lucid pumice
#

nope it dont.

dark dirge
#

🤷

#

clear your cache

lucid pumice
#

hmm. one started working now... 😄

#

I'll keep digging a bit

dark dirge
#

all those ?v=xxx bits are to avoid the cache, so try incrementing those numbers

honest sluice
#

So I have the following card that I have done some work on from something I found on the forums and everything is working great, but I would like to know is there a way to always display the absolute value? I dont want to edit the sensor its using as the negative value is correct. The spot i am speaking of is where it says "To Grid", when it says To Grid (based on other conditions) I want to display the absolute value. its using a button-card to display the icon, name and value of the entity

#

oh i cant post an image

#

ok let me get the code

yes thats my fault sorry, wont happen again

dark dirge
#

probably this:

#

state_display string optional On Override the way the state is displayed. Supports templates, see templates

karmic tiger
#

You should be able to use the state_display field (I think) with a template to override the way it displays the state.

#

Snap.

#

+Math.abs()

karmic tiger
#

Ok, you win this time.

dark dirge
#

🎉

honest sluice
#

hmm ok let me look, i tried looking at the docs i guess i didnt see that field

karmic tiger
#

Math.abs(your_value_here), more specifically.

honest sluice
#

hmmm i dont see that in the docs

dark dirge
#

custom button card has 10000000 options

#

I pasted it right from the docs

karmic tiger
#

Yup... Ctrl+F, state_display

#

It's mentioned twice. 😉

dark dirge
#

unless you're looking at the built-in button card docs

#

which you're not using

honest sluice
#

guess it would help if i looked at the docs for button-card instead of just button 😉

#

yeah

#

lol

timid moss
#

Using the soft-ui template for a custom:button card, how can I remove all the extra space to the right of the actual card?
https://imgur.com/a/zLSp58j

honest sluice
#

this doesnt seem to work:

state_display: |
    return Math.abs(states['sensor.grid_power_production'].state)
#

its actually just returning all of that as a string

#

oh duh

dark dirge
#

you need to follow the docs for templates

honest sluice
#

yup

#

added the brackets and its working

#

thanks!!

icy tiger
#

Does anyone know if it’s possible to set the ‘limit’ or ‘target’ using a template/sensor/attribute on a custom:bar-card? I’ve tried normal templating for the target (formatted as int) but it behaves like I just haven’t set the target at all.

winter prism
#

Is there a way to make an entity in an entities card blink two different colors based on the entity's state?

mild veldt
#

@winter prism you could likely do that with mod-card

balmy wolf
#

How do you hide the calander tile. It already has a tab in the side panel.

#

It shows calendars off. What use is that in the gui?

karmic tiger
#

What use is that in the gui?
Some people like seeing stuff...

#

And if you take control of your dashboard, you can choose exactly what shows and what doesn't.

balmy wolf
#

So the auto dashboard is just best effort for the moment?

karmic tiger
#

Best effort? No... it's every entity.

#

HA doesn't know what you want to see, so it'll show you everything - until you customise it.

balmy wolf
#

Yea. I guess its more about getting everything working in one magic box and not necessarily the gui.

#

Can you make subgroups?

karmic tiger
#

If you mean cards within cards, yes. Some of the cards exist as a means to organise your layout - like the stack cards, layout card, etc.

balmy wolf
#

Horizontal Stack Card Configuration This?

karmic tiger
#

That's one of them, yes.

balmy wolf
#

Can you change the height of a graph?

hallow mango
#

you can do all kinds of things

balmy wolf
#

Doesnt look like it if its the History Graph Card

hallow mango
#

dunno, I use mini-graph-card for any of my graphs

balmy wolf
#

Is that from hacs?

#

Searching the cards doesn't show that.

hallow mango
#

it is, yes

balmy wolf
#

To use it you have to add it via yaml config?

dark dirge
#

not necessarily

balmy wolf
#

Doesn't show up in the search for me. Search cards

dark dirge
#

did you install?

balmy wolf
#

Yea. Checked it only shows the option to reinstall

dark dirge
#

did you follow this part of the instructions?

balmy wolf
#

Not that part

dark dirge
#

:sadface:

# 
  - url: /hacsfiles/mini-graph-card/mini-graph-card-bundle.js
    type: module
balmy wolf
#

Ahh just checked via ssh for the local they reference on the repo.

dark dirge
#

don't use that URL, use the one I provided

balmy wolf
#

Nifty found the gui way to put that in.

#

Do i need to wipe cache for that?

dark dirge
#

clearing the cache is generally advised

balmy wolf
#

Might that go away in the future? Or is it just how browsers work.

#

Do you need to wipe for the app too?

dark dirge
#

HA caches aggressively, so sometimes you need to clear the cache

balmy wolf
#

Guessing that wipes your login session too?

hallow mango
#

just close and reopen your browser

#

or app

balmy wolf
#

I feel like I need a video to configure it haha. Found one.

balmy wolf
#

Can you make a button that controls a pair of lights?

hallow mango
#

make a light group

balmy wolf
#

You can only make groups in yaml?

dark dirge
#

yes

timid moss
#

What's y'all's workflow for editing in YAML? As I get into more custom integrations, working through the UI is cumbersome, but I feel like I don't know enough YAML to switch

dark dirge
#
  1. Edit, 2. Check config, 3. reload automations/scripts
timid moss
#

I mean in terms of knowing stuff

dark dirge
#

reading the docs, searching the forum

#

finding examples

timid moss
#

Alright so at least I don't feel bad not knowing stuff hahaha

dark dirge
#

the community has been around for years, so there's lots of material and quality docs to help

#

and it'll be a lot easier to help folks writing YAML

left wren
#

Very true 🙂 I'm pretty new to this so I spend 90% of my setup time just digesting the documentation and videos

#

Really glad that's all there (and seemingly very high quality too) so I don't have to just bang my head against a wall instead

dark dirge
#

unless you're into that sort of thign

left wren
#

I thought I would be at first, but it's so rough when you don't have experience with this kind of thing lol

hallow mango
#

yeah, I'd never touched yaml until HA

left wren
#

Exactly

hallow mango
#

I think the toughest distinction I had to realize was maps vs lists

#

basically when to use (or not use) a -

timid moss
#

I definitely gotta dive in

#

Reading over some of the docs makes my head spin hahaha

dark dirge
#

it all generally makes sense once you figure it out

hallow mango
#

I'd say, just an advice, a good way to kind of get the "ins and outs" for yaml is to goof with Lovelace in the UI

#

you can immediately see how changes work and what works and doesn't

timid moss
#

I've been messing with custom:layout the last couple days and it felt pretty good once it all clicked

#

With a little help from a CSS Grid generator of course ;P

hallow mango
#

we should have a "showoff" channel where people can send pics of their dashboards

timid moss
#

As someone who isn't creative, that would be awesome

hallow mango
#

I often go looking for inspiration but a lot of designs look very samey to me

#

speaking of which, how do I hide the top bar?

timid moss
#

You can with custom:sidebar, but that feature is broken right now

hallow mango
#

great lol

hallow mango
#

is there an easy way to copy a whole view to a different dashboard?

left wren
#

You're talking about duplicating your overview page right? I think I did that on my last install to have an experimental version

hallow mango
#

well yeah, something like that

#

i've made a whole new dashboard with a few views

#

but want to "transplant" some of my views from my old dashboard

left wren
#

Maybe someone else with more experience knows a way, I think I just started from scratch before since that was basically the goal anyway lol

hallow mango
#

no worries

dark dirge
#

There are instructions on the Lovelace dashboard page in the docs

#

Go to raw mode, copy, go to new dashboard, raw mode, paste

hallow mango
#

right on

#

i always forget that raw mode is there lol

Hello everyone

#

i'm looking for a nice open/close door icon

quaint snow
#

Any ideas my homies?

icy patrol
#

Hello; i have a light entity and i just noticed that the state does not change anymore when it is on

#

it is always grey when my light is on or off

#

it might be because they are RGB bulbs..

quaint snow
icy patrol
#

LOL.. I just have the brightness set to a level, no color

#

but when i pick a color, i can see the state change on the frontend

#

but when i just have the normal lights on, they are grey

#

before some updates - they used to show a dim yellow color

quaint snow
#

Yeah that’s what it’s meant to do, not some sort of card settings?

timid moss
#

Never mind, I read too fast

#

@quaint snow Could you just do a a vertical stack such that:

  1. Horizontal stack with green buttons
  2. Card 1
  3. Card 2
#

How do you guys deal with spacing when editing YAML? It's making my head spin sitting here looking at mine

honest estuary
#

VSCode

timid moss
#

Sweet, I'll look into it. I kept seeing Notepad++ recommended and I'm thinking surely it shouldn't be this convoluted

honest estuary
#

there's also Sublime Text for a simpler editor

timid moss
#

Is there a YAML editor addon I need to download as well or just open it my stuff and that's it?

#

Is there a way to paste and keep indentation from where I pasted?

#

Like if I paste from four spaces in, I want each new line in my paste to start from four spaces in

quaint snow
timid moss
#

If you want them next to each other do vertical stack:

  1. Horizontal stack
  2. Horizontal stack
#

I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for though

quaint snow
#

So one vertical and two horizontal?

#

This is what I want to replicate

Ah, sorry about the code wall!

Lovelace config would look something like this (example provided by the developer): https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mK9zVrwhRt/

However, that's not how weather integrations provide data. There is typically one weather object containing all this data. Sure, I could create a ton of templates to parse out the data, but surely, that's not how it's supposed to work.

Hello all, I have a fold-entity-row using a template-entity-row as the head.
On desktop, clicking anywhere on the head works (fold unfold no problem). But on iPhone, either app or browser, only clicking on the arrow works, clicking other area of the head would give this error.
Anyone know why?

https://imgur.com/a/aB3GP0F

#

The error kinda makes sense since I didn’t give an entity to the template-entity-row. But why desktop works, and I hope it not to show that error if I didn’t give entity.

well, the first codeblock has a secondary markdown card. but the first card in the first codeblock shouldn't be reliant on the second..

Those are different. No copying and pasting going on there

karmic tiger

The only thing they have in common is the entity they reference.

bitter bolt
#

wait, there's a difference between an entity card and an entities card?

karmic tiger

There's a difference in their name, right?

ok, i fixed it. ty.

#

what's the point of "panel mode"? like what are some use cases?

#

for a full screen image card, like a cctv camera?

#

and how do most people design their layout around certain views, like desktop vs mobile? do they log into each device on a different user account which only displays cards tailored to that device's screen resolution and aspect ratio?

karmic tiger
#

That's a very broad question. Probably better for you to look at people's layouts on the forums to see how they approached it.

I'm using Gledopto GU10 lights through my Philips Hue bridge. I noticed that scenes don't work properly. When the light is off and I execute the scene, the light will always turn on with a purple-ish color. I think it's the default color of the light and somehow it's ignoring the colors that it set in the scene. When I run the scene a second time (this time with the light on, in the purple'ish color) then it sets the color correctly.

I narrowed down the root cause of the problem. Somehow, the light isn't reacting as it should to the "turn_on" command (if it's in an off state) when the scene has the "effect: none" parameter set. If I remove this line, all my Gledopto lights behave as expected.

So, I'm looking for the best way to fix this.

  1. It's annoying that the scene editor always adds "effect: none". I have to manually remove it whenever I edit a scene using the editor. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
  2. I would think that "effect: none" means NO effect should be included in the command to the device. But my device is behaving differently with "effect: none" present vs. not having the effect parameter in the service call at all. Is this a bug, perhaps?

I have white buttons for my lights and the color of icon matches the bulb colors. Sometimes brighter colors make the icon nearly white and make the icon blend in. Is there a way to restrict how bright or how white the icon can get with CSS?

Are we able to set a unique_id to light groups in the configuration.yaml file

taking it to the right channel @dark dirge - I added my average inside temp and my outdoors temp as cards, just would like the icons to change colour based on the temp outside

you can easily do that with a custom button card

#

there's a ton of state-based color changes in my config

quaint snow
#

knotty abyss
#

Is the only way to have multiple lights controlled by a single switch / rgb color wheel by creating a group within configuration.yaml? I did this and it worked I guess well enough, however when I tried to tie it to an area I got the error about no unique id and not able to use the ui to configure.

dark dirge
#

you can define a group or light.group in configuration.yaml, or just pass all the entities to the turn_on/turn_off calls

#

areas aren't very well supported

quaint snow
#

I am hoping the following will do the temps nicely

styles:
  icon:
      - color: >
          [[[
            if (entity.state < 0) return 'rgb(178,0,237)';
            if (entity.state >= 0 && entity.state < 10) return 'rgb(202,241,255)';
            if (entity.state >= 10 && entity.state < 20) return 'rgb(0,191,255)';
            if (entity.state >= 20 && entity.state < 30) return 'rgb(216,255,81)';
            if (entity.state >= 30 && entity.state < 40) return 'rgbrgb(255,193,0)';
            if (entity.state >= 40) return 'rgb(255,90,0)';
          ]]]```

#

might need parseInt() for the states?

#

nah, seems to be okay

yeah seems to be working, as far as the >= 10 and < 20 goes

just wish there was room to cram a media player in there haha

If HA didn't know how to extract the information natively, it won't know what to translate either. You'll have to translate it yourself.

@karmic tiger the state is translated when I look the entity itself...

Not sure where to ask this, but I got new Hunter Douglas Powerview blinds that work really well w/ HA, but if they get changed by a remote outside of HA, HA doesn't learn of that and can think they're up when they're really down and so on. This is annoying since HA disables the up arrow & down arrow UI elements when it thinks the blind is already at that spot. How can I not have those buttons disabled?

The integration docs claim "local polling", but I never see updates of state sent back into HA

I've not seen anything like that. The main problem is that cards only know what integrations expose. You'll have to build a way to expose the filenames of the N most recent video clips first.

Hi, I am trying to get my tailscale IP address to be shown on the dashboard. After googling as lot, I found out that this can be done using command_line entity. And so, I added this to my config.yaml:

sensor:

  • platform: command_line
    command: "hostname -I | awk '{print $2}'"
    unit_of_measurement: ''
    name: "Tailscale IP Address"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"

On the cli, the above command displays the correct IP address. But this just results in a blank on the dashboard. I read somewhere else to put it in a script and echo the output. I did that as well, but the display showed "Unknown" in HA dashboard. I echoing to a tsip.txt and cat tsip.txt and had the same result. I have tried with single quote. I have tried '$(hostname -I ...)' but that shows a blank.

I can't see the error here.

the hostname command in the HA docker container doesn't appear to support "-I"

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to use Layout Card and am a bit confused. My setup is in panel mode with a layout card as the main card. I have the layout card set to vertical. I can't seem to get the card to span the entire screen. It will only fill a column in the middle. Is there any way to expand this or something I am missing?

#

I am using horizontal stacks within the vertical layout card for each row. Still the cards on a given row will only fill up a small portion of my screen

polar kelp
#

So it puts all your cards vertically, you say? Curious.

#

That's not the recommended way to use it, by the way. Check the readme and use it as a view layout instead.

edgy plinth
#

I'll take a look at that. If I use it in this way can I still use it in Panel mode? Yes, the layout card that you can add using just add card is similar to the vertical stack card. If I used it as a view and in panel mode, would I just use a vertical stack as my one card?

Hey guys, so I'm trying to make a nice card to show information from ethermine. Someone did make a plugin and it creates a sensor called sensor.ethermineinfo_miner_address.

Here is the plugin I'm using, https://github.com/ThomasPrior/EthermineInfo now it mentions something about a template sensor but I'm not sure exactly what they mean by that. Someone able to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks. That was it. I had it on and it used to work but I removed that user and added a new and it did not have advanced turned on.

#

Maybe you can also help me with my next issue. In some dropdown selections in the fronend I cannot select using the mouse I need to use the arrows on the keyboard or it wont work.

#

For example when editing a card in the UI and selecting an entity_id I can type the complete enitity_id or I can start and it will filter out but I cannot click on any of the entity_ids that are in the list I need to use the arrows.
How can I fix/debug this?

Does it happen in every browser? On the same browser on multiple devices?

glacial ledge
#

I'm not sure. I am using chrome on linux mostly and that's where its happening.

karmic tiger
#

If you don't know, find out. It's important to know whether it's something on your dashboard or just the browser you're using.

glacial ledge
#

I'm working on it. 🙂 I need another browser.

#

I tried another browser and it does work.

#

Is chrome a supported browser?

karmic tiger
#

With something like 65% of the market share, I'd hope so 😂

glacial ledge
#

So I can't be the only one with this problem.

karmic tiger
#

If another browser is okay, try it in incognito with no extensions running.

anyone know how to resize the height of the main top bar?

Maybe it's something funny about Chrome on Linux then? I can't test that.

I imagine most Chrome users are on Windows or macOS.

#

I just tried a docker install of HA on my computer and it is having the same issue. Its a clean install so it shouldnt be a config issue. It can stll be something else on my pc causing it tho.

#

My normal HA is a core install on a different computer.

karmic tiger
#

Keep trying to isolate it. If you can't get to the bottom of it and think it's actually a bug, you can report it on the GitHub page

kind shellBOT
glacial ledge
karmic tiger
#

Anything is possible.

#

Just try to narrow it down before reporting it. The devs get plenty of "it's broken, fix it" type reports with no useful information.

glacial ledge
#

Yeah, thats why I came here. I was sure there would be something that I did to cause it or a known problem.

Is there a way to make an entity in an entities card visible conditionally? Not a conditional card an element in a card.

karmic tiger
glacial ledge
#

Chrome on windows works.....

karmic tiger
#

Yeah, if it's a problem with the browser, it feels like it's Chrome for Linux.

glacial ledge
#

I can use a template filter in auto-entities card to display a specific entity based on an input_select?

karmic tiger
#

I barely use my frontend. I rely on automations. I'll let someone else answer that 😄

dark dirge
#

Docs say yes

karmic tiger
#

Rob says yes. I'll take it.

@winter hollow is the Swiper Card still active? Having an issue where it is prohibiting me from using a custom:light-popup-card correctly

#

hi, all of a sudden i just get "Retry" page when I try to access Home Assistant... I've tried clearing cookies and cache but to no avail 😦 Firefox Android

#

not sure where to start digging, any logs i can look at on the server side? running hassos

turbid pier
#

mkay, so i went for broke and cleared "history and site data" as well, and that fixed it... so i guess that means localdb? not sure why cached files and cookies werent enough though... annoyingly Firefox for Android doesn't have a per-site deletion like the desktop version, so it's nuking everyhing 😦

karmic tiger
#

Lots of SPA's (single page applications) make use of a browser feature called service workers. Clearing the cache doesn't remove the installed service worker or its data - the nuclear option will remove that.

#

If you ever get stuck with that again but don't want to flush cookies, browsers should let you remove the service worker - you'd tell it to uninstall, then refresh the page and hopefully install a fresh copy automatically.

halcyon basin
#

I know this is probably obvious, but i have a sonoff ifan03 which works great, but if the fan is running and i restart HA, the status is wrong, it always shows as off. Have I missed something?

Is this the way to use auto-entities template feature:

filter:
  template: |
    {% if is_state('input_select.rfid_scan_action', 'Track Search') %}
      - input_text.rfid_track_search_text
    {% elif is_state('input_select.rfid_scan_action', 'Album Search') %}
      - input_text.rfid_album_search_text
    {% elif is_state('input_select.rfid_scan_action', 'Artist Search') %}
      - input_text.rfid_artist_search_text
    {% endif %}

depending on what is selected in input_select it should show a different input_text

turbid pier
halcyon basin
dark dirge
#

didn't we go over that before?

halcyon basin
#

we went over the fact it wasnt working, and we got that sorted, but the state is reporting incorrectly. If i recall.

#

or did i miss something?

dark dirge
#

I thought it was working when we last discussed it, but my memory may be faulty

#

I see, your current issue is just when HA restarts?

halcyon basin
#

the fan controls all work as expected, but if i restart HA it shows as off.

dark dirge
#

are you retaining the value on the MQTT broker?

halcyon basin
#

yes it doesnt seem to be retaining the information.

#

I think so.

dark dirge
#

you can confirm that

halcyon basin
#

how do i do that?

dark dirge
#

MQTT Explorer

halcyon basin
#

not sure it is being retained, i dont see a retain message.

#

Is that something i need to configure in the fan settings in ha?

dark dirge
#

it comes from the device

halcyon basin
#

i'm using tasmota i thought i isseud power_retain. i'll check

dark dirge
#

example:

halcyon basin
#

i have issued PowerRetain 1 on this device previously, if that is correct.

dark dirge
#

this is "retain" for MQTT, not restoring the original power state when it loses power or something

#

that sounds like the latter

halcyon basin
#

How can i post a picture?

kind shellBOT
#

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images.

Command '~images' was invoked by: RobC
halcyon basin
dark dirge
#

that looks like discovery info, not the actual status of the device

#

but I don't know anything about that device

#

in other words, that message doesn't contain the state you care about, as far as I can tell

halcyon basin
dark dirge
#

that looks more interesting, yes

#

this is the first paragraph of the docs:

#

In an ideal scenario, the MQTT device will have a state_topic to publish state changes. If these messages are published with a RETAIN flag, the MQTT fan will receive an instant state update after subscription and will start with the correct state. Otherwise, the initial state of the fan will be false / off.

halcyon basin
dark dirge
#

doesn't seem to be

halcyon basin
#

so maybe this has something to do with the fact that on isn't an exact state, but a speed. 1 low 2 med 3 high. FanSpeed is whowing in stat

dark dirge
#

yeah, that's what I was looking at too

#

I have no fans at all, so not much help as far as how they interface with HA

halcyon basin
#

oh balls. Cheers anyway

dark dirge
#

there are a bunch of threads on the forum about that fan

halcyon basin
#

Thank you.

Morning All, I'm creating a floorplan in yaml, rather than having all of the config in one floorplan.yaml file, I want to reference separate files for ares tabs, would that be achieved liethis:

title: 3D Floorplan
views:
  - !include groundfloor.yaml
  - !include firstfloor.yaml

I can't seem to find anything in the docs.

errant plover
#

Maybe you need a path to your files: ```
views:

  • !include config/groundfloor.yaml
  • !include config/firstfloor.yaml
halcyon basin
#

Thanks Tom, i did have them in the same folder, but moved them, the problem i have now is that According to an online yaml checker the yaml for the page is valid, but the UI isn't loading, So I know i've screwed up the indentation some how, just cannot figure it out!

#

my floorplan.yaml looks like this now:


custom_header:
  compact_mode: true
  editor_warnings: false
  disable_sidebar: true
  hide_header: true
  kiosk_mode: true

title: 3D Floorplan
views:
  - !include 3dfloorplan/groundfloor.yaml
#  - !include firstfloor.yaml
#  - !include controls.yaml
errant plover
halcyon basin
#

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

#

getting rid of the custom_header doesn't make a difference. I'm sure it's an yaml indentation error. Chrome is throwing these errors:

How do I disable the default ui-lovelace.yaml dash?

dark dirge
#

switch back to storage mode?

#

or what do you mean by "disabling" that?

honest swan
#

I have seperate dashboards and I want the ui-lovelace.yaml configured one gone.

dark dirge
#

I don't think you can make it "gone", but you can use it for whatever the first dashboard should be

#

or, again, if you just want to switch back to storage for the main config, you can just do that

honest swan
#

can I get rid of it if it's in storage mode?

dark dirge
#

so yes, you can delete that file if you're not using it

honest swan
#

I have read that page thru like five times before asking here xD

#

I don't care about the file, I just don't want a placeholder dashboard for no reason

dark dirge
#

are you using storage mode or yaml mode?

honest swan
#

yaml mode entirely

dark dirge
#

that file only matters if your primary mode is yaml

honest swan
#

Again, the file is not really the concern, the dashboard itself is.

dark dirge
#

so, why not use that for the first dashboard rather than trying to get rid of it in favor of some other dashboard file?

#

the icon on the sidebar?

#

in the end, each dashboard is just an icon on the sidebar whose content you defined in a YAML file

honest swan
#

I'm going to have several dashboards and would like for them to share a folder, especially for importing cards, so I don't constantly have to switch context for relative file paths

#

It's messier and I don't like mess :D

dark dirge
#

ok, I don't think you can do what you want.

#

ui-lovelace.yaml in your /config directory will be the initial dashboard

honest swan
#

All of the above, I can do, except for getting rid of the default HA dashboard

#

show_in_sidebar: false in ui-lovelace "solves" it

dark dirge
#

ok

#

that's why I was asking about whether it was the icon you didn't like

honest swan
#

It's the entire concept of a non-optional default dashboard I don't like.

#

It would be much cleaner if I could set a default dashboard and not have this one spoonfed :D

#

Hiding the icon is just patchy

#

It's still the default dashboard on all devices that don't change it

dark dirge
#

I can see that. If there was no "default" and all dashboards were simply specified, it would be cleaner. especially considering that each dashboard is configured separately and can be YAML or storage

honest swan
#

Yeah, that's the ideal scenario imho 😃 🙏

#

Invalid config for [lovelace]: Url path needs to contain a hyphen (-) for dictionary value
Is this to avoid url collisions?

Hello fellow HA enthusiasts!
I want to ask out there if there is anyone who has done a frontend for mobile. I'm pretty sure that someone has made the effort and I'm trying not to reinvent the proverbial wheel. Thanks!

honest estuary
#

there's Home Assistant Companion and then there's your HA UI in a browser app

vapid field
#

@honest estuary Thanks for your suggestion. I use both. Specifically, I'm looking for anyone who has designed a Lovelace frontend that is geared towards mobile. The HA UI in a mobile browser app doesn't look nice. Generally, it does not meet with the SAF (spouse approval factor).

karmic tiger
#

If you're after examples, the forums are probably a better place to find inspiration.

dark dirge
#

And you can use something like a state-switch card or a few others to change how things are displayed. I have a Mobile and Desktop user, and change some settings based on that

tacit brook
#

I just switched from the config UI for lovelace to the yaml and all of my custom components I installed with HACS aren't loading. Is there anything I need to do to load them? Do I manually have to add them as resources?

#

I think the FAQ for HACS is telling me I have to grab the yaml from the "Reinstall" option and put that into my lovelace yaml config

#

yep, that seems to be exactly it

#

Once you switch to yaml mode, you have to add resources in the yaml not in the UI

vapid field
#

Thanks RobC, I'll try that card and I'll try the forums.

hazy mist
#

Could someone do me a favor and try going to Configuration -> People, and try changing the name of your primary administrator (likely the one attached to your account) and tell me if it lets you? I can change the name of the other two People, but trying to change my own gives a "Unknown error"

dark dirge
#

Haha, well to close the loop: It's working in 2021.6. Should have tried that first 🙂

what is the best way to organize a frontend for multiple devices? is it best practice to create a new user account for each device style so each gets their own tailored lovelace tabs (ie; one each for mobile view, tablet view ,desktop view)?

#

I assume the answer might be excluding entries from the logbook itself instead of this card

Wouldn't it be a lot nice if card/badge dialogs would (also) show friendly names instead of just entity_id?

Hi not use if this is the correct area to ask this question but is there a way inside a lovelace card (say a button card) where the entity name is a variable pointing somewhere where it can pickup the entity name. Reason why I am asking is I use the smartweather integration and the weather station ID needs to be changed ever so often (not sure why) and I have to go and change the entity ID in all the cards. want to change in one spot and have it picked up in all the cards tks

alpine sparrow
#

I'm having issues with my first custom Lovelace card which I installed through HACS. The custom card isn't found so I checked the console and figured that it is trying to load from /hacsfiles/lovelace-auto-entities/auto-entities.js, but URI gives a 404. I checked and can confirm that the file actually exists in config/www/community/lovelace-auto-entities/auto-entities.js. Any idea why the /hacsfiles path doesn't seem to be working?

dark dirge
#

that's the right place. /hacsfiles is mapped to config/www/community

#

so restart HA and clear your browser cache

alpine sparrow
#

I have to keep reminding myself: When in doubt, restart Home Assistant.

dark dirge
#

you have to restart HA after creating the config/www directory, so that was probably it

timid burrow
#

so I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the HA caching. I use HACS and always click the reload option for card updates but it never seems to 'do' anything. When I go back to the lovelace view the old card is still used and I am in the habit of using the dev-tools+empty cache and hard reload+ 2 or 3 CTRL+F5 before the new card is 'live'. Is there anything I can do to stop having to do this all the time?

#

I also have users using my custom weather card who are having problems caused by this as well so it's not just me...

#

I wonder if there should be a service to clear out the frontend cache in the browser...

tawny lynx
#

Any ideas why I’m getting this extra spacing? This is a 1 column grid card, and each row is a 5 column grid card. The actual buttons and the labeled “dividers” are all custom button cards. I see no differences in the configs between the ones that display correctly at the top, and the ones with the extra space. Also, the spaces do not appear on my phone, only in my laptop and my 24” wall display. https://imgur.com/gallery/rHnDc81

#

In other words: how can I set the default theme to dark for all users and/or per user?

polar kelp
#

Find a theme that's only dark and choose that as the light theme with the frontend.set_stheme service.

#

You'll still get light maps, though.

fiery tide
#

I would like to keep the standard theme and only switch to dark always... is that possible?

#

Or do you happen to know which theme comes closest?

polar kelp
fiery tide
#

Sorry I do not know how to interpret that as a solution for my question ☺️

polar kelp
#

I don't think there's an easy way to make dark the default...

#

You could create your own theme with those settings:
my-theme.yaml yaml "my-theme": "primary-background-color": "#111111" "card-background-color": "#1c1c1c" ...etc...

#

And then install and use that as usual.

fiery tide
#

Thus I need to crerate a yaml file and place somewhere with the first 2 lines you ave above and the yellow lines from the link?

#

Thomas, I am so long searching for an answer/solution for this "simple" question :-). I would love it to work...

#

I am a noob in this. I tried to create in configuration.yaml https://pastebin.com/vrfhRWXg and then selected the them in my user. No change. I also called the service Service set_theme with all settings and nothing happens...

polar kelp
#

Make sure the users theme is set to "Backend Selected". If that doesn't work, I'm not sure...

fiery tide
#

not sure what to select in the call service then... till now no difference

#

and if the user is selected backen selected, where do I selct the self made them to be the backend sected theme? In my case test?

#

Thanks Ludeeus that explains it (using https)

polar kelp
#

Normally that would be enough. But at least the chrome service worker seems to have gotten more agressive about caching lately. It keeps biting me.

wheat current
#

I looked into busting that in the past as well, but the implementation in chrome atleast changes too frequent and what works in chrome did not in FF and safari, and it started to feel like a hack so I gave up

timid burrow
#

It's a bloody pain... users of my card logged a bunch of issues all because of caching... and they swear blind its not that

wheat current
#

it's always DNS cahce

#

Aaaand...... it should really not be needed, since the files are served with instructions to not cache them at all...
But for the past half year or so, chrome atleast ignores that part for pages that uses a serviceworker

polar kelp
#

Glad to hear someone else noticed. I've been thinking I was going crazy.

wheat current
#

with adding ?something if you are running storage mode, I can actually implement cache again for that endpoint so it should be faster to load if it's not upgraded

polar kelp
#

And cheaper on bandwidth.

wheat current
#

that too

polar kelp
#

My first home automation setup ran on a mobile broadband with strict upload limits, so I try to be very conscious about that sort of thing.. (see existance of that stupid lit-element trick)

timid burrow
#

Sounds like a plan as long as the user doesn't need to edit it..

wheat current
#

it will "break" if the user changes it

timid burrow
#

How come?

wheat current
#

I don't trust the data at that point, so it's flagged as not working

timid burrow
#

Ah I see so you would store that value and check it..

polar kelp
#

You could parse it and update... but that's really not worth the trouble.

wheat current
#

I do that now anyway, it's needed for when cards cahnges their filenames

I looked for an existing solution for a while, because frankly, I don't want to make it myself if someone's already made it before. But I'm trying to find a lovelace card that would act as a dumb client-side JS timer with a plus/minus 1 min and a start/stop button. the only really viable solution I see so far is writing my own JS timer as a single webpage and putting it into a web card. Has anyone made this?

can someone explain what badges are supposed to be used for practically with real world examples? i don't quite understand their use or practicality so i disabled them on all views.

#

how/when elements are used is up to personal taste

bitter bolt
#

where can i find examples?

karmic tiger
#

Example of personal taste? 🤔

bitter bolt
#

yes, examples of use cases.

#

hello, is there a lovelace card type that will display an entities attribute rather than it's state?

karmic tiger
#

If you want to see other people's dashboards, check the forums. There's an entire section for frontend.

#

thanks, but it wasn't seeming to work for me. at least, it wasn't supported by the visual editor

# 
type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.redfin
    name: House
    secondary_info: last-updated
    attribute: amount_formatted

doesn't seem to work

#

can scan_interval be set to specific time(s), for instance everyday at 01:00 pm?

mild veldt
mental hawk
#

ah, sorry. i didn't realize there was a difference. thanks

#

the entity card is actually what i was looking for anyway. cheers

Hey team. I had to clear Chrome history, and it's asking me to login to Home assistant. The problem is none of my passwords of standard usernames are working.

mild veldt
upbeat latch
#

is the user name usually an email address?

dark dirge
#

no

upbeat latch
#

What a nightmare :/

dark dirge
#

if you can get to the console (monitor/keyboard), you can go to /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant/.storage and type grep username auth

#

or just go through the options at that link

#

assuming HA OS

upbeat latch
#

Why is there no recover password option.. I feel like there must have been some sort of strange password convention that I had to use, and now don't know it.

#

I have it running on a Pi

dark dirge
#

then you can do what I suggested

glacial ledge
#

Is there a way to tell HA that incoming sensor data units is C and not F and let it get converted?

dark dirge
#

try setting a unit_of_measurement: °C

#

I do that in my custom_component, and it gets automagically flipped/converted to unit_of_measurement: °F

glacial ledge
#

ok. thanks.

Is it possible to have one UI controlled dashboard and another that is only YAML configured?

dark dirge
#

Yes

#

Read the docs?

gloomy tiger
#

good plan. I did everything but that

#

I was already on the right page and skipped right over:

You can also add YAML dashboards when your main dashboard is UI configured

dark dirge
#

Yeah, I pointed you to the docs because it answers your question quite directly 🙂

gloomy tiger
#

indeed it does

hey all I have a buggy thing in the App on my iphone - where would someone ask about that on discord?

dark dirge
tame shale
#

I swear - sometimes i feel like you guys make the channel when I ask 🙂

#

right

#

I have a view - and when I moved to it the view is clearly selected on my iphone - but it doesn't refresh the panel to the correct view

#

its not reproducible unfortunately

dark dirge
#

Channels and topics have been stable for quite a while

#

Unfortunately not much to do if you can’t repro it. If you can repro it in safari as well as the app, it’s probably a mobile issue for #frontend-archived

tame shale
#

yeah

#

well its when I need to open the garage door and someone is standing there - that the page doesn't load properly 🙂

I have a quick question. I'm using the platform: command_line so that I can find out if my arr servers front ends are available. I have it showing Online vs Offline. What I'd like to have is a custom icon for that sensor that gets created. How do I do this? I am having trouble with what I've found online.

#

Now actually I'm curious if I can even get a little fancier. Can I have the icon change as well based off if the returned value is Online or Offline. Heres my current code block ``` - platform: command_line
name: 'Sonarr Online'
command: response=$(curl -LIk -m 3 http://sonarr:8989 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" -s); test "$response" -ge 200 && echo "Online" || echo "Offline"
scan_interval: 90
value_template: '{{ value }}'

#

Would I do that within the value template?

dark dirge
#

You can’t do it there

#

If you want it to change based on state, you’ll need to use a card that supports templates

knotty abyss
#

Ahh, ok so I also was reading this and currently I'm using default_config at the top, my guess is just switching it out but is that going to cause any other issues? Whats the flip of that?

#

or I'm sorry I just need to add that

dark dirge
#

This is completely unrelated

#

It has nothing to do with default_config:

knotty abyss
#

Ok, yea that's what I thought.

#

I thought I read something it was homeassistant: or default_config only but I might of misread what I saw

dark dirge
#

nope

spark sedge
#

Anybody know how to add something to the sidebar that's not localhost and have it passed through the nabu casa proxy? I've setup Frigate and it worked ok, but the HA machine doesn't really have enough power so I moved frigate to a different machine. Everthing seems to work fine, but it would be nice to access the frigate UI remotely.

dark dirge
#

You can’t

knotty abyss
#

So i added ```# Home Assistant Settings
homeassistant:
customize:
# Add an entry for each entity that you want to overwrite.
sensor.sonarr_online:
entity_picture: /images/sonarr.png
friendly_name: SonarrStatus
sensor.radarr_online:
entity_picture: /images/radarr.png
friendly_name: RadarrStatus
sensor.lidarr_online:
entitiy_picture: /images/lidarr.png
friendly_name: LidarrStatus

and I get ```Invalid config for [sensor.command_line]: [max] is an invalid option for [sensor.command_line]. Check: sensor.command_line->max. (See ?, line ?).```
spark sedge
dark dirge
#

You can’t route random sites through NC

#

Only addons that support ingress

spark sedge
#

hmmm, that seems like a weird limitation. I mean it seems like I should be able to start an SSH tunnel with a port forward locally. Especially of the addon is installed but not running on "localhost"

dark dirge
#

It just wasn’t designed that way

#

Set up a reverse proxy and SSL and you can do whatever you want

#

Or use a VPN, like WireGuard. There’s even an addon

spark sedge
#

yeah, i know I just prefer it to "just work" in the app without an extra thing I have to keep track of on the phone

#

i've run vpn on mobile before but it gets annoying when your cell service is spotty

#

i appreciate the info though

#

was hopping there was just a config file that could get localhost switched to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:

dark dirge
#

I just stopped using NC and I use a reverse proxy now

#

NC is a very specific tunnel, not general purpose

spark sedge
#

So what about custom destinations on the sidebar locally?

dark dirge
spark sedge
knotty abyss
#

Hey Rob, what about that error I showed when I tried to do the customize thing

dark dirge
#

You have ‘max’ in your command line sensor and that’s not an option?

#

It tells you what to look for

knotty abyss
#

I dont have max though my sensor is setup via - platform: command_line name: 'Sonarr Online' command: response=$(curl -LIk -m 3 http://sonarr:8989 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" -s); test "$response" -ge 200 && echo "Online" || echo "Offline" scan_interval: 90 value_template: '{{ value }}'

dark dirge
#

You saw the error message?

#

It’s quite specific

knotty abyss
#

I did, says max is not a config but I dont have max set anywhere hence my confusion. I'll dig then.

spark sedge
#

just a wild guess but is that what the "-m 3" is?

knotty abyss
#

yea,I was just thinking the same thing. Took it out and it works. Now I just wanna do the if offline change to a different icon but that MAY need to just wait

Ok 🙂 So: Is there any way to hide 3 dots menu (upper right corner) f.ex. by using card-mod? I tried to do that but without any success. EDIT: Solved. I used Kiosk-mode with my change in .js file. I also made pull request with this new option, so maybe @warm oak will merge it to new version.

Can we place tts within an entities card? I seem to be getting an error. I wanna combined a couple things into one card. I tried the following code

# 
entities:
  - entity: media_player.living_room_speaker
    icon: mdi:google-home
  - entity: input_select.radio_station
    icon: mdi:speaker-wireless
  - entity: script.radio_lr
    icon: mdi:play
tts:
  platform: google
view_layout:
  column: 3
``` is another way I tried it but it didn't seem to matter.
#

I tried placing the tts block under the entity itself as well.

vapid field
#

Hey guys,

I hope i am in the right channel for my question.

I insert four button-cards in the grid-card (2 columns) and for now i have got a little space at the left side and a larger space on the right side (margin?).

Do you have an suggestion for me, how I could "center" the four cards?

I think this is a frontend question - is there any way to disable scene activation when editing? I'm still tweaking my scenes but I don't like that going into the edit screen full-on shuts down my devices..

errant plover
#

Nope.

#

Unless you want to write them in YAML.

glacial ledge
#

If my thermostat is incrementing in 0.1 increments that means it thinks its in C not F? How do I fix that?

left wren
#

Oh that looks cool! I don't know the syntax well enough to confidently write them in YAML

glacial ledge
#

I have set unit_system: imperial already from some time. in configuration.yaml

quick oracle
knotty abyss
#

I think someone tagged me and deleted their message. But am I right that I can't put a TTS option in an entities group?

dark dirge
#

Groups can be turned on and off, so TTS doesn’t seem possible there. A script that calls it could be

polar kelp
#

and yaml tts: platform: google
is for backend configuration of a tts service.

dark dirge
#

Oh, didn’t see what channel this was in 🙂

polar kelp
#

I suppose what you want is to have the input box for the TTS text to be visible in a card?
That's not possible right off, but you can make two rows with an input-text entity and a service call button, and then make a script to pass the value of the input on to your tts service.

knotty abyss
#

ahhh. So right now I have a card that uses artwork: cover entity: media_player.living_room_speaker hide: power_state: false source: true volume: false icon: mdi:google-home tts: platform: google type: custom:mini-media-player and I get the line to send it. I was hoping to combine that with a card I made that has a drop down for an internet radio stream as an all in 1 speaker card.

polar kelp
#

Ok. Then that's a special function of the mini-media-player card specifically.

#

That could work.

knotty abyss
#

Oohhhh thats a good idea. I also was doing that way to late last night and thats why I figured wait until the morning to do so lol.

#

I'll give that a go in a moment here.

knotty abyss
#

@polar kelp that stacked card worked beautiful sir.

limpid radish
#

Is there a way to trace scripts like you can with automations? Am I missing something here?

errant plover
#

No there isn't.

dark dirge
#

you can turn a script into an automation temporarily, I suppose, by calling teh script in the action

errant plover
#

That will just show as one service call won't it?

dark dirge
#

maybe. so you'd need to extract the sequence and put it in the action

#

it is a curious limitation that should probably be "fixed" (by adding a feature)

knotty abyss
#

Can you not use attributes in an entities card? With an Entity card I can but not entities but I want to show the attribute of an entity in the entities card. I like the layout of the entities card.
