Then you won't have it.

lucid pumice
#

I'd suggest hassio method

dark dirge
#

I think you should get your custom button card working first 🙂

lucid pumice
#

yaml is super picky about formatting and indentation

polar kelp
#

Anyway.

"Custom element doesn't exist: button-card." is actually good. That means your yaml is good enough to do something.

stuck hazel
#

checked, valid yaml

polar kelp
#

I suggest you take a look in your browser console (ctrl+shift+j in chrome), press F5 and see if you see something about button-card in there.

lucid pumice
#

you loaded the resources in your config? something like this:

  mode: yaml
  resources:
    - url: /local/power-monitor/power-monitor.js
      type: module```
polar kelp
#

Not when using the GUI

stuck hazel
#

version 3.4.2

polar kelp
#

Do you still get the same error then?

stuck hazel
#

yes

#

wait

#

weird...

#

lost the yaml, so i repasted it from the yaml checker, and now it works

#

i don't have the error anymore, but it doesn't change color

dark dirge
#

Now you get to play with the button card config

stuck hazel
#

the cover template thing from the start?

dark dirge
#

No

#

The thing you just added

polar kelp
#

You're at the brim of an enormous rabbit hole.

stuck hazel
#

how can i find my issue?

#

changing the numbers next to the color didn't do anything

dark dirge
#

Review the button card docs and experiment

stuck hazel
#

i've added "show_state" and the state is always open

#

do i need to change the state in the configuration.yaml?

dark dirge
#

No

#

Did it report open/closed?

stuck hazel
#

it doesn't report open/closed, but the icon does change

dark dirge
#

Look in devtools -> States

stuck hazel
#

state open

dark dirge
#

I’m trying to find out if you were accurate when you said it was working before

#

Is it working?

stuck hazel
#

the icon changes when i click the button, and the garage door opens and closes

#

the icon is also in the correct position depending on the opened or closed state of the door

dark dirge
#

Look in devtools -> States

stuck hazel
#

friendly_name: Garage Door
icon: mdi:garage
supported_features: 11
device_class: garage

dark dirge
#

The state

#

You said this:

#

i've added "show_state" and the state is always open

#

Is it?

stuck hazel
#

i've added the show_state to the card

#

and that one always says open

dark dirge
#

Look in devtools -> States

stuck hazel
#

says open

dark dirge
#

Always?

stuck hazel
#

yes

dark dirge
#

Then it’s not working

#

Change position_template to value_template in the cover definition

#

And restart HA

stuck hazel
#

doesn't work anymore

dark dirge
#

~share it

Please use https://paste.ubuntu.com/ to share code or logs. Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view.

stuck hazel
dark dirge
#

You changed states to is_state there

#

And then didn’t use it correctly

#

Change it back to states. Just that one, not all of them everywhere

#

Or use is_state and call it like you do later

polar kelp
#

There's also something happening to the quotes on line 7.

dark dirge
#

The UI does that. I hate it, but it’s ok

stuck hazel
#

ok, now the button "works" again, but same as before

polar kelp
#

What UI? It's a container install.

dark dirge
#

The Lovelace yaml editor

polar kelp
#

cover: is backend configuration

dark dirge
#

I don’t know how they added it, but I think it’s still valid yaml

#

I see it in the automaton and script UI all the time

dark dirge
stuck hazel
#

same, still always open

dark dirge
#

Is the binary_sensor reporting the right value?

stuck hazel
#

yes

dark dirge
#

What does the value_template line look like now?

stuck hazel
#

value_template: '{{ states(''binary_sensor.sonoff_a480002717'') }}'

polar kelp
#

I have a guess.

queen cape
#

How can I expose a folder inside of the hassio share to be seen from the external url?

polar kelp
#

Try json value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.sonoff_a480002717', 'on') }}"

dark dirge
#

Mine looks like this:

#

value_template: "{{ 'open' if is_state('binary_sensor.garage_door_sensor', 'off') else 'closed' }}"

polar kelp
#

@queen cape Anything in <config>/www/whatever is exposed at https://<url>/local/whatever

dark dirge
#

I thought a string of ‘off’ or ‘on’ would be interpreted as a boolean, but perhaps not

polar kelp
#

You need to restart Home Assistant after creating www. But not after adding more files in there.

#

Symlinks will not work

stuck hazel
dark dirge
#

Then try Thomas’

queen cape
stuck hazel
#

now i just need to mess with the color values until i get what i want

#

hope its not to hard, but can i add a 3th state that is always active the first 15seconds or so after activating?

#

so i have open, closed or moving

dark dirge
#

Yes, but not straightforward

stuck hazel
#

and...

#

the zigbee doorsensor it pretty far away from the bridge, can i have another state for disconnected?

dark dirge
#

All things are possible

stuck hazel
#

but not for my current skill level

dark dirge
#

Sounds about right

polar kelp
#

You'll get there

stuck hazel
#

next question :p

#

i've figured out how to get a "software value" with input_select

#

can i do the same for a binary value?

polar kelp
#

Or better yet: configuration -> Helpers

stuck hazel
#

is it possible to make the cards less wide?

#

so i can fit 2 button cards next to eachother on my smartphone

dark dirge
#

horizontal-stack may help

stuck hazel
#

thanks!

#

tiny "problem"

#

tried combining 2 cards, a normal button and that special button we've had trouble creating

#

but the first button is a bit bigger then the other one

Hi! I really like the lovelace UI system. It can be so easily customised. I think that the ability to edit yaml directly is a killer feature.. I have never seen anything like that before. Do you know what was the systems that has inspired this design of the dashboard?

#

I saw a lot of dashboards, but they allow editing only with mouse in the browser — the ability to use yaml is so powerfull. And I want to know if there any other system that has the same feature.

Is there any way to change the size of the grid component? I have this idea to show the 8 ceiling lights in a grid and the middle one one be to control the light group. But it looks a bit bloated, would be nice to shrink them down.

Also you can play with using grids, horizontal, and vertical cards together to get neat groupings

sonic finch

Thanks, I’ll take a look

Is there a way to view entity properties, e.g. view what the entities' device class and domain is.

dark dirge

The domain is just the part before the dot, and the device_class is an attribute

Thanks.

@polar kelp I was reading your Wiki about preloading lovelace elements - using a similar methodology is it possible to 'extend' existing elements? e.g. I want to use ha-device-picker or ha-selector-device, but find a way to also return the title of the device, not just the 'entry_id'. Or once I've got the value can I call another function in my custom card.ts to get the selected device name?

final nacelle
#

@formal zodiac got it thanks you very much, will try tomorrow

polar kelp
#

@ebon nimbus To answer your first question: If you make sure a component will be loaded it, you can then extend it's base class, but only once it's certainly been loaded. So you can do e.g.: ```js
preload_ha_device_picker();
customElements.whenDefined("ha-device-picker").then(() => {
// This must all be in the then callback
const HaDevicePicker = customElements.get("ha-device-picker");

class MyDevicePicker extends HaDevicePicker {
// ... here you can do whatever as if your thing were the actual device picker, override functions, access this, etc...
}
});```
Your second question is answered in #devs_frontend-archived.

There are a few posibilities.
The most user friendly is to turn your plugin into an integration. Then it can be configured with a config flow.
You could also let the user add a variable to the path when loading the resource /local/your-plugin.js?namespace=ico and then look for that through a number of hacky methods.
Or you could make sure there's an easily found constant variable near the top of your js file that the user edits.

I have a button card that has an appliance entity attached, it's a switch that can be either on or off but I've created a more advanced entity that goes into specifics for what is currently happening with it, how can I show this on the card where show state would be? I've tried setting the entity of the card to the new state entity and putting the tap action as call service instead of toggle but since it's a sensor it can't be on or off it has many different states and this means the card will not light up when it is on... I feel like I made this sound more complicated than it is

#

Basically, I just want the "show state" part of the button to go with a different entity over the entity in the card

#

The what?

empty sequoia
#

hey all.....very new to HA automations/scripting, etc. what's the best way to set up a lovelace card to turn off all lights in a given area?

polar kelp
#

Make a button card that has no entity associated with it. Set Tap action to "Call service". Make it call "Light: Turn off" and then pick your area.

empty sequoia
#

hmm...it says no matching areas found

twilit echo
polar kelp
#

That toggle is purely a frontend thing. It’s not connected to any entity by itself, but will indicate and controll the state of Every entity in That Card.

twilit echo
#

hmm okay.. so there's no way to toggle it via MQTT? what i mean is, is there some other stuff i can do at HA to expose the switch on MQTT?

polar kelp
#

If what you actually want to do is turn on or off all your lights, then I'm sure there's an MQTT command for that, but that's more of an #integrations-archived question.

twilit echo
#

haha.. okay... i was referred here from automations

#

anyway thanks

#

i do want to turn off all my lights and some other stuff... but it's nicely represented under 1 card.. there are some things i need to remain turned on

#

what i'm trying to say is... i would like integration to follow UI and not have to redo the integration each time i edit my cards

polar kelp
#

Then, as I see Tinkered explained to you, you should make an automation or a script that turns on or off specifically the things you want on or off.
The frontend is for display and occasional control. That's all it should ever do.

#

You can make Areas for your entities. Then you can turn on or off all lights in a certain area with one service call, and you'll get a nice card for them in the frontend too (if it's auto generated).

how would i have known to format the name like that. the library does not refer to it like that

Let me try that again

#

I'm trying to change the layout of a view based on screen size using custom:layout, but it's not working for my 450px variant:

#

hi...can anyone help me figure out why, when i call the lights.turn_off service, it doesn't actually turn anything off

hasty sandal
#

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if you can place a delay where that a type of **entities ** has a type of **conditional ** within it?

errant plover
#

No that is not supported. Why are you trying to do this?

hasty sandal
#

The reason for this is because I have a "master" power switch which when turned on I would like for it to then show the entity to control wLED, since the wLED doesn't connect to WiFi straight away due to boot up I would like a few seconds delay - its all just to look a little neater

#

Please see below code I would like to add the delay to

# 
title: Ceiling Lights
show_header_toggle: false
type: entities
entities:
  - name: Master Switch
    entity: switch.powerstrip02_switch_04
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: switch.powerstrip02_switch_04
        state: 'on'
    row:
      name: Controls
      entity: light.wled_ceiling_lights_segment_0
dark dirge
#

you could do that with an input_boolean that's turned on when you want to display the card, coupled with a conditional card

#

you can't do it in the frontend by itself

hasty sandal
#

ah ok thats understandable, thank you, I did try add an additional condition that needs to be met where that when another entity related to the wLED which is provided by Unifi but unfortunately this isn't too reliable as it didn't provide one

faint vortex
#

Hey, I might be missing something, but I'm trying to simply display the Temperature attribute of a device in an "entities" card, however it's asking for a lot of keys

dark dirge
#

weird

faint vortex
#

It works if I just do tap_action: null conditions: null etc

dark dirge
#

I would start with - fan.bedroom_purifier, see if that works, then build up from there

#

maybe it doesn't like the degree symbol

#

it doesn't look like icon: is an option for type: attribute

#

you could try commenting it out, or moving it next to title: on the left margin

faint vortex
#

Well I'd want an entities card so I can see multiple things. It used to work just fine before the latest major update

#

It -does- work when adding all those things as null though, so for now it should be fine

dark dirge
#

sure, but icon: still isn't a valid option there

faint vortex
#

Yeah I get you, but it used to work there without issues although it doesn't seem to be a valid option there based on the documentation

#

Ah found an integration that extracts attributes in their own entity

dark dirge
#

Template sensor?

faint vortex
#

yeah

# fiery ledge have a look here: https://gist.github.com/Mariusthvdb/2d59566b173c6d37bd986c213f...

Thanks but I'm still not quite understanding it, It seems to be using HTML, CSS & JavaScript in YAML and while I've used HTML, CSS and JavaScript before I have almost no experience with YAML and I don't quite understand how the variables are correlating with home assistant, I'm still fairly new to home assistant, I've modified the code in the snippet you linked me but I have no idea what any of it means so I was just poking around like a blind man trying to get it to change the state to anything other than on/off I can't get it to change the state of the button it's acting like state_display isn't there I just want the button to show the state of sensor.deep_fryer_status while having the active/inactive colouring of switch.deep_fryer and being able to toggle it

type: button
tap_action:
  action: toggle
name: Deep Fryer
icon: mdi:food
show_state: true
state_display: >
  [[[ var fakestate = `<span style="color: var(--active-color);">${sensor.deep_fryer_status}:</span>`;
  var fakelabel = `<span style="color: var(--active-color);"> Test</span>`;
  return (entity.state == 'on') ? fakestate +' ' + fakelabel : null; ]]]
entity: switch.deep_fryer

type: button
tap_action:
action: toggle
name: Deep Fryer
icon: mdi:food
show_state: true
state_display: >
[[[ var fakestate = <span style="color: var(--active-color);">${sensor.deep_fryer_status}:</span>;
return fakestate; ]]]
entity: switch.deep_fryer

fiery ledge
#

just start simple: ```

  • type: custom:button-card
    entity: binary_sensor.updater
    show_state: true
    state_display: >
    [[[ return 'Updater: ' + entity.state ]]]
#

the html and styles are more advanced 😉 if you're new to this, start small and advance step by step

#

${sensor.deep_fryer_status} will never do anything, you'd need something like - type: custom:button-card entity: binary_sensor.updater show_state: true state_display: > [[[ return `Updater: ${states['binary_sensor.updater'].state}` ]]]

#

in this case a bit silly of course, because it could have been [[[ return `Updater: ${entity.state}` ]]]

#

but you could use any external entity. So, first get you entities and referencing those correct. After that start formatting. This can be done 'inline', as with the example you're trying to copy. Maybe easier is to simply use the documentation (...) and check the styles: examples: icon: - color: > [[[ if (entity.state < 60) return 'lime'; if (entity.state >= 60 && entity.state < 80) return 'orange'; else return 'red'; ]]]

#

and replace the entity.state with a reference to your entity, in the format of states['binary_sensor.updater'].state

dusty sierra
fiery ledge
#

yes, just like any regular card in a view... using yaml mode though, I dont use the UI. try [[[ return states['sensor.deep_fryer_status'].state ]]]

dusty sierra
# fiery ledge yes, just like any regular card in a view... using yaml mode though, I dont use ...

Yeah I'm not using the visual editor I go onto the dashboard bit and press edit on the button card and I've pasted in the code you gave me it currently is the new line you just gave me

    entity: switch.deep_fryer
    show_state: true
    state_display: >
      [[[ return states['sensor.deep_fryer_status'].state ]]]```
but it's saying `Configuration errors detected: No type provided.` still and the save button is grayed out
fiery ledge
#

tbh, I dont know about the editor, I use YAML mode, so cant help you there

dusty sierra
#

Also when I tried it on the custom card option in the dashboard I get:

bad indentation of a mapping entry (2:11)

 1 | - type: custom:button-card
 2 |     entity: switch.deep_fryer
---------------^
 3 |     show_state: true

#

well, that's clear then is it?

dusty sierra
#

sorry wrong error I meant to post:

Custom element not found: button-card``` I was just copying the code again so I could get the error again
fiery ledge
#

you did install custom button-card..? do you have any other custom buttons?

dusty sierra
#

No, see that's probably why lol. Where do I go to find it? I was just looking now in the HACS frontend bit and saw something called "button card" is that what I need? Like I was trying to say before I'm new to Home Assistant so I don't fully understand it yet I've been wrapping my head around it but this is the only thing I've considered "Advanced" so far, I thought the automatons were rather limiting/tedious to do by the UI so I did a few advanced ones with node red but that's practically all my experience

Is there a way to hide the app bar in ui-lovelace.yaml? I could swear I saw it as an option in the docs, but cant find it for the life of me

appbar? you mean the bar side bar?

i know this isn't the answer you asked for, but there is a setting you can toggle under configurations

sorry, not configurations, under Profile -> Always hide the sidebar

Hi all. I've discovered today that my Nest camera stream from Google integration -> HomeKit integration -> Home app on iOS has no delay whatsoever (the stream matches what is on the home.nest.com website) while where I use picture entity card on the LoveLance dashboard to display it, the stream is delayed by 10 seconds and very glitchy. Is there a better way to display the camera stream on the dashboard?

anyone know if its possible to interact with the lovelace view cast to chromecast? so it basically becomes an app

polar kelp
#

Basic functions work, like turning stuff on and off. You can’t switch view, though.

polar kelp
#

Wait! I had a brain fart. No, not interactive with chromecast, I think. It is with Google home/hub/whatever they’re called… with the touch screen, though.

Alright, I managed to side load chrome ob my Google tv and map a button to launch the ha url, unfortunately the navigation is very clumsy with the remote.

Tried the HA android app too, but it's slow on it, chrome loads much faster

where did those attributes come from?

sorry if this sounds very new. if anybody can help me, i'd be much appreciated.

  1. actually I have a third question. It seems there is a function called "state_attr", is that a custom function? if so, where would a likely place for me to find that functino?

ok, i found the answer to 2. It turns out there is a list of these attributes in a template file.

Is there a way to make the more-info card of a sensor entity display a text log like a binary sensor instead of a graph? Or do I need to make a custom card/use logbook card.

I have a local_file camera entity that is setup to received a local file that represents the latest alert from my camera system. Inside Lovelace the preview for the image updates pretty quickly (about 5 seconds) when the local file changes. When I click on the image though it always shows whatever image was there when the interface loaded. Any way around this?

Bram told us HA 2021.7 has changed Charts, and in HA everything looks as good as can be I think. However, the custom: weather-card-chart has lost it's chart.... could anyone please see if the code can be easily adjusted on that matter. I know its a custom card, but would hope it could be spotted easily. https://github.com/Yevgenium/lovelace-weather-card-chart/issues/59

#

<ha-chart-base hass="[[_hass]]" data="[[ChartData]]"></ha-chart-base> being the relevant line currently?

now returning the error: Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined in var meta = chartInstance.controller.getDatasetMeta(2); meta.data.forEach(function (bar, index) { var data = (Math.round((chartInstance.data.datasets[2].data[index]) * 10) / 10).toFixed(1); ctx.fillText(data, bar._model.x, bar._model.y - 5); });

yeah, that seems obvious enough.... 😉

no, I cant fix that like that. tbh, I don't know where to look. took out the line above for now, so it won't error. for a fix, I need more dev guidance.

is there any frontend addon to show a person entity with a small battery percentage in the corner? or is there a way to do so without an addon?

Picture-elements could probably do that.

or a custom button card. because it can do everything

Or card-mod, because that too.

I integrated Blue Iris into Lovelace by using iframes and I have to log into the Blue Iris web view to access the iframe (which is fine) but Home Assistant doesn't remember the login info ever. Even checking the remember login box, every time I navigate to the view that has the Blue Iris iframes (3 total) I have to log into two of the three, and which two I have to log into is random each time. Not sure if it's a Home Assistant problem or a Blue Iris problem

good morning from New Zealand

#

I have been studying this github for the past few days

#

I have been stuck on line 59

#

Its a very long line of string that I believe is mixing jinja and css, which confuses me.

#

I took the liberty of formatter that line.

#

i understand its css insertion inside the string, but im struggling to understand some of the syntax.

#
  1. what is the {.: in line 1? RobC thought it maybe a css path (I then tried googling, but it didn't seem like it?)
#
  1. this is more complicated. this code is using the https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod. In the document, it says ha-card is the lowest element it can reach. But for some reason, this github seemed to have find some way to circumvent that and inserted css into the p and span elements of the ha-markdown.
#

i dont' have his code running at all (i dont know how), so i can't inspect the html from the browser. So a lot of this is just my assumption as well. I know Im wrong somewhere.

please help.

Hi, where are entities defined? I've moved to editing lovelace via yaml, can see entities used in it, but can't find them mentioned anywhere in the config directory

@spice imp what country? 😉

mental for places that get snow

#

even experienced desert dwellers (like me) can't handle many days of that in a row, and that's with aircon

#

so @spice imp can you tell me where entities are described in the text files/command line?

#

I've got a lovelace card that refers to entity: camera.front_door - but that's the only place

I think it depends on what kind of camera your using

edit: nevermind, worked it out via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/local_file

I’m not sure, but it your case it may very well convert 16.6 to a string and then do a character by character conparison by ascii value 🤷

I should have been more clear that was a custom card that just happens to have the same name as a core one.

So i blame myself for not reading the complete readme, but instead used the search function

But the name is confusing indeed 🙂

polar kelp

IIRC the custom one actually predates the core one...

kind shellBOT
polar kelp
#

You don't want to update the view, only the button.

#

And avoid doing stuff like this in the frontend.

dusty sierra
#

So it should be handled by entites like through node red?

#

Or is there a better way?

polar kelp
#

It's better to make a timer in the backend, then the core cards will automatically calculate and display a live value for the remaining time.
And as an added bonus - the day you decide you want a notification when it's five minutes remaining half the work is already done.

#

Hi folks, hope you are having a nice night or morning.

#

was sent here from another channel.

#

copied over some questions/comments hoping you could please share your thoughts.

#

guys, love my 70 plus gadgets integrated, and centralized in Home Assistant. But i'm in serious need of proper dashboards.
[11:50 PM]
What is the easiest way to get some basic squares, and a main (important items and automatons dashboard).
[11:52 PM]
HA and I are not communicating effectively. Can't change icons, can't find the paths online for custom icons, when I try to create each part of the dashboard, as soon as "I take control" it is simply a mess, blank screen, or wicked boxes, and editing the code, and all, is way too much. And somehow I just don't get it.
[11:53 PM]
Anyone has any advice, best way to get the job done and create these custom dashboards. I know i can do it, just seems crazy right now and I got a day job.
[11:54 PM]
any basic lovelace templates I can use, or can any one share how to create the basic ones, so I go from there.
hey good people, happy 4th, happy sunday, or monday.

#

I created a clean snapshot with my lutron and some other basic integrations only. I've reverted back to that 100 times trying to create lovelace dashboards.

split granite
#

Have you considered leaving the default dashboard alone and experimenting with a fresh one?

#

I have four separate dashboards, each with multiple tabs

tawny sleet
#

I've done that, had like 4 extra ones. but forgot, now when I try I mess up main.

#

please remind me.

#

asside from that, the new one's i've tried are complicated.

#

I get a selection of items I can add, but none of them seem right, or seems weird.

split granite
tawny sleet
#

maybe I want an office box, that has my lights, sensors, shows the temperature, my office devices, and some key dials for lights, and automations.

split granite
#

If you want a fixed grid view, then you're going to need custom cards and a lot of patience - or to use a whole different (third party) UI

tawny sleet
#

and then i'll have 3 or 4 more of those for different things.

#

like one with all 4 perimiter ring cameras.

split granite
#

That sort of thing?

tawny sleet
#

and stuyff like that, but all choices are deceiving require custom, and then I cant replace icons, or adjust sizing, cant have the right graphics, weird, as F** especially because I lose patience and have other stuff to do

split granite
#

Sizing, no, you can't adjust that

#

Icons, sure you can

tawny sleet
#

let me check that out. thanks for reading and helping. @split granite

#

is there an import of a dashboard?

#

please say it is so?

split granite
#

No

tawny sleet
#

oh then what?

#

i see install?

split granite
#

That's for third party software

tawny sleet
#

and does that have an app?

split granite
#

If that look and feel is what you're after, then try it out

tawny sleet
#

ios?

split granite
#

No

#

It's yet another web UI for HA

#

But one that works on a grid layout

#

Where you can control the grid

tawny sleet
#

hmm, does that software updated code yamil, and all that jazz in my HA

split granite
#

Nope, doesn't touch HA

tawny sleet
#

and then I can have my dashboards

split granite
#

Again, third party

tawny sleet
#

so it just interfaces with HA, and I can control devives via their software?

split granite
#

Pretty much

tawny sleet
#

nah,

#

I have smart things, lutron, zigbi, ikia, alexa, google, ring, and so much I coudl use to interface to my devices

split granite
tawny sleet
#

i want it "all" centralized in HA.

split granite
#

Right, and you will

tawny sleet
#

and if that software had an ios app, them maybe.

split granite
#

The things I linked are just alternative UIs for HA

tawny sleet
#

can you use it as a web app on iphone?

split granite
#

It's yet another web UI for HA

#

Whether that works as a "web app" I have no idea

#

I don't have an iPhone

tawny sleet
#

That is key. but sounds interesting.

#

and enlightening.

#

i don't want to complicate more.

#

and why HA

#

so its counterproductive to use yet another layer. Its likely cloud, and will slow

split granite
#

Not really, no

tawny sleet
#

recently reinstalled all my devices to maximize local connections.

split granite
#

I mean, if you're trying to run all this and HA on a Pi Zero, sure it's not fast, but they're webapps local to your HA install. If it's slow it's because you screwed up

tawny sleet
#

limited cloud, limited Smart Things,

#

snappy switches.

#

hhmm, good pint.

#

local is better.

#

it cant be that hard though.

#

@split granite here is a very important one.

#

so you see when you edit the code when setting up liovelace, the box has a graphic, and it points to a picture in a website, cloud. And it has an HA looking domain.

#

great. But I cant change it

split granite
#

I have no idea what that means, sorry

#

Oh, do you mean the icon?

tawny sleet
#

seems like I have to find the source where all these pictures are and copy the link. But I cant find the damn source. Like it is frustrating. Why can I just remove the parts of the link related to the picture, to identify the root source of the picture listing. Nope, HA works in an entirely different language or planet. WTF.

#

yeah, for icons, for devices, for everything, cant find the source of all that

#

are there any user shared sources or something

split granite
#

For what?

#

I mean, the link I posted tells you how to find them

tawny sleet
#

the pictures, you can clinck on the icon code in the config and see the link to the picture for the icon, """"Where is the source of all those custom icons and pictures"""""

Yes, you can use card-mod.

card-mod can't (easily) make cards wider.

Anyone know a way (perhaps a custom card I missed) where you can create a vertical card with a max height and you can scroll inside that card through the cards. So kinda like swiper card, but with continuous scrolling in a vertical mode and max height. Edit: hmm perhaps I can with mod-card and swiper card, if it supports continuous scrolling parameter.

It there an easy way to display an input_number as int on the UI instead of float?

karmic tiger
#

Sure, use templates. But only certain cards support them.

rain junco
#

Hey mono - hmmm let me see if I can do that

#

is that all by providing the card entity as {{ states('input_number.whatver') |int }} ?

#

gauge doesn't seem to eat it 😕

karmic tiger
#

No, the entity will still be the same. If a card supports you providing a template for its value, it'd look like the template you shared.

rain junco
#

oic

karmic tiger
#

It's mostly custom cards that support templating, or built-in cards using some tricky like the template-config card.

rain junco
#

😄

#

or create a "knockoff" template sensor that's an int

#

oh man, what a pain 😄

karmic tiger
#

I haven't used it before so I can't help with it. Give it a shot and see how far you get.

rain junco
#

uh oh - well, the idea would be to display num value as gauge, and click & change value if needed

#

a template display may allow me to go that far, but sensors / template card... well...

#

wouldn't it be great if an upcoming release offered something easy to deal with this 😄

#

oh hey, isn't tomorrow first wednesday of July?

#

or even a mode: box-float or mode: box-int in the yaml

karmic tiger
#

You've been around long enough to know your options there... pull request or feature request.

rain junco
#

actually I was thinking about creating the first dev env and start playing around with some of these

#

there is about a mount of "yet to be automated" items on my list 😄

#

but I don't think there's anything (but wife) holding me back from that point

Hey guys. Recently my home assistant instance after a while I am not able to access the UI, it keeps saying Reload UI. If I reboot the system it works again but it will eventually lead to the same problem.

#

The home assistant seems to be running as everything is working besides the UI

#

Any hints? What should I look for? Logs are not giving me any hints

#

I get this message when trying to customize the radius of my Home zone It seems that your configuration.yaml doesn't properly include customize.yaml. Changes made here are written in it, but will not be applied after a configuration reload unless the include is in place. but I have that in my config already. I am confused.

dark dirge
#

you need a line like this under homeassistant: in configuration.yaml:

#

customize: !include customize.yaml

polar kelp
#

*homeassistant

dark dirge
#

yeah, that 🙂

versed kettle
# 
cloud:
group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
homekit:
discovery:
  enable:
homeassistant:
  customize: !include customize.yaml
#

this is my config

#

and when I click on customize.yaml file I have this

  radius: 45
#

so its all there, but it's not updating on HA?

dark dirge
#

I suspect that this is the problem:

# 
discovery:
  enable:
#

if you don't want to explicitly enable anything, just remove it. Otherwise, without a [], it keeps looking for stuff you want to enable

#

To be clear, remove enable:, leaving discovery:

versed kettle
#

hmm wonder why thats there.

#

Yeah, it is still not taking the new customization

dark dirge
#

you'd need to restart HA after making that change

versed kettle
#

I did all of that, restarted HA. When I go to customize the entity it shows the value I put in before, and when I check the config file it shows there too, but the actual zone is not changing. and it still shows that warning message like it's not properly added

dark dirge
#

zone configuration goes in its own section:

# 
zone:
  - name: home
    latitude: !secret home_latitude
    longitude: !secret home_longitude
    radius: 100
    icon: mdi:home

#

Is it possible to run my own custom home assistant front end styling?

polar kelp
#

The answer is probably yes, but what do you mean?

pale mulch
#

Like editing the static files and whatnot and the building a new home assistant build

#

Rather than customizing Lovelace

polar kelp
#

Absolutely. You can override the entire frontend and/or lovelace integrations if you want. Or you could host an entirely freestanding frontend service which communicates with the HA backend via websockets.

#

I think balloob even has a POC somewhere, but he's on vacation so I don't want to ping him in right now.

#

Yayyy

#

I hope this fits here... I started to translate Home Assistant to German while the last beta period and have a question. Checking the developer docs (https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/translations/) I found out that the German Sie formal form is not wanted. I fixed my previous mistakes after that, but when I check the frontend and backend translations in Lokalise I see both happening randomly. Is there any way for the maintainers to sort of disallow translations with a "Sie" as separate word? Otherwise it will happen what already happened before (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-should-german-users-be-addressed-in-the-translation/172570) and some other translator might switch back to formal form. This mixing has to be fixed and if I start to fix all strings, I'd like to have it backed somehow if possible.

#

Yes, I know that you can bypass the usage of Sie and by far there are more things that only happen in formal form, but this one would be a eye opener ^^

fiery ledge
#

anyone got a suggestion to get rid of the decimal on every input_number in the frontend? And as a consequence, the double line it takes for the Unit to show below that?

#

even though the stepsize is in 'integers', the input_number is a float..

# 
  alarmclock_wd_hour:
    name: Hour
    icon: mdi:timer-outline
    min: 4
    max: 23
    step: 1```
#

or decrease_volume_delay: name: Decrease volume delay min: 30 max: 150 step: 30 unit_of_measurement: secs showing with '30.0' and next line secs

fiery ledge
karmic tiger
#

Did you try the search history, Marius? I remember someone else asked this recently.

fiery ledge
#

only this #templates-archived message but that wasn't really helpful ... somehow it would be great if we had the option to either show or not

#

any other 'trick' will still leave the more-info to be as core again, with decimal

#

custom:slider-entity-row to the (frontend) rescue: ``` - type: custom:slider-entity-row
entity: input_number.sleep_delay
- input_number.sleep_delay

#

even works with:``` - type: custom:slider-entity-row
entity: input_number.home_theater_lux
secondary_info: true
card_mod:
style:
hui-generic-entity-row$: |
.secondary::after {
content: "Mean living: {{states('sensor.mean_living_lux')}} lx"
}

#

thank you Thomas!

fiery ledge
#

besides the more-info, another issue left still is when an input_number is displayed by means of an auto-entities config. In that case it shows as core, with the decimal.... Maybe we should ask Thomas if he can change auto-entities to use his own slider-entity-row styling in auto-entities 😉 FR: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities/issues/207

karmic tiger
#

Maybe you should raise a PR? 🤷‍♂️

fiery ledge
#

Ive made 3 posts: an Issue on Frontend, adding the notion for an optional setting (would be best), a FR on Frontend to simply not show the decimal if it would be .0, and a FR on Thomas's Auto-entities (so it would opt for its own slider-entity-row styling). Second to that, I now use the slider-entity-row wherever we need to show an int (or put differently: don't want the decimal). Templating wont help here.

karmic tiger
#

Core? It's a frontend concern.

fiery ledge
karmic tiger
#

There is no thing as an input number that shows an integer.

Input number is float-based, you can put in an int, but the result is a float. Thus this is correct and not a bug.
It's a float. If you want the UI to display it as an int, the UI needs to do that.

#

I don't see where Frenck said it's a core thing.

fiery ledge
#

sorry, got mixed up here in pov. if we follow the core as is, it indeed would have to be done in Frontend, which is where my 2nd FR goes. (edited post above). However, that would only be a 'fix' and not a true solution, because of the more-info still showing the decimal. We should optimally be able to set an option in backend (core) for that, hence my suggestion to add that to core.

karmic tiger
#

Except that's not how it works. The backend handles data. The frontend decides how to display it.

fiery ledge
#

why wouldnt a backend config on input_number not be conceivable with an |int option? In fact, if step size would be a whole number, I feel it should automatically return int instead of float.

karmic tiger
#

🤦‍♂️

#

Let's say every number on the backend was indeed an int. What's to stop a card displaying it as a float?

#

Separation of concerns is a massive consideration with software applications. The backend shouldn't care how the frontend displays things.

#

Anyway. We're not getting anywhere. Just don't be surprised when your FR for core gets closed and you have to start a new one for frontend.

fiery ledge
#

still not agree with the 'backend/frontend' thinking, and as a matter of fact, I feel that is completely counter intuitive in this case. we do have a box/slider option in backend (nb a frontend aspect par excellence). https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_number/#mode An int/float option would fit in perfectly, solving all issues everyone has with this.

tacit cave
#

Backend shouldn’t care about data, frontend should only present it

#

Before you argue, this is how it’s done in all software

#

You want your frontend separated from your backend so you can swap the front end out with anything else

fiery ledge
#

Ive written the frontend FR havent I?

tacit cave
#

That’s how other js works properly. It’s a model that’s been used for years

#

Right but you for some reason want yo argue it

#

Your method is bad coding practice, so arguing it is a moot point

fiery ledge
#

so you would also support deleting the box/slider option?

tacit cave
#

Yep

#

It should be configured in lovelace

#

It’s leftover from the old UI

#

When it was tightly wound into the backend

fiery ledge
#

Listen, I would love a Lovelace option on those input_numbers/sliders. both cards, and more-info. Or even better, guess if slider-entity-row does it automatically, Lovelace Frontend should be able to do so too

weak prism
#

If I have a button-card that does

  action: toggle

How would i proceed to add for example {"hue_move": 1, "transition": 5} ?

#

to the payload msg

#

I tried adding

  payload:
    hue_move: 1
    transition: 5``` to no success
dark dirge
#

It doesn’t make sense for ‘toggle’

weak prism
#

I tried using mqtt.publish, but no success either

#

as call-service

dark dirge
#

Did you use data: or service_data:?

weak prism
# 
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: mqtt.publish
          service_data:
            topic: zigbee2mqtt/0x0017880106250b69/set
            payload:
              state: toggle
              hue_move: 1
              transition: 5
        hold_action:```
this is what i currently tried
dark dirge
#

Does ‘payload’ take a dict?

#

payload must be a string. If you want to send JSON then you need to format/escape it properly. Like:

topic: home-assistant/light/1/state
payload: "{"Status":"off", "Data":"something"}"

weak prism
#

hmmm let me see and try

#

got it working now, thanks 🙂

#

I know the values don't make sense when using toggle, but I don't know how to do it otherwise as I don't want to create a button to turn it off and another button to turn it on

tacit cave
dark dirge
#

The docs claim not

tacit cave
#

I use it

#

let me verify

#

ya, i use it in a few scripts, here's an example:

mqtt_automated_states:
  sequence:
  - variables: &mqtt-variables
      root: "homeassistant"
      topic_root: >
        {%- if domain is not defined or unique_id is not defined %}
          {{- [ root, 'error'] | join('/') }}
        {%- else %}
          {{- [ root, domain, unique_id ] | join('/') }}
        {%- endif %}
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      topic: "{{ topic_root ~ '/state' }}"
      payload: >
        {{ { 'state': state, 'attributes': attributes | default({}) } | tojson }}
      retain: "{{ retain | default('true') }}"
#

It could be a limitation of the lovelace configuration check

dark dirge
#

It looks like that’s formatting it the way the docs suggest

tacit cave
#

Although, lovelace is usually more lenient than the backend

#

Well, you can provide JSON or YAML for any configuraiton

#

I dynamically create attributes which is why I did it the way I did in that script above

dark dirge
#

Ok, so the docs need an update

tacit cave
#

it could have been done like

payload:
  state: xyz
  attributes:
    a: 1
dark dirge
#

They specifically say that it must be a string

tacit cave
#

odd

#

Maybe you're right

#

looking at my script, it doesn't seem like it needs to be the way I wrote it

#

and tojson turns it into a string

#

Lets assume I'm wrong then

weak prism
#

with the payload state, attributes etc configured like you showed @tacit cave it doesn't work in 2021.6.6

#

only if it's in '{"state": "toggle", attributes: 453}'

#

then it seems to work

tacit cave
#

that template wouldn't work in the frontend because the frontend doesn't accept templates

#

I'm on the alpha 2021.8 build and everything is working great still

#

I'm thinking I'm just miss remembering and the docs are correct.

#

so, it's safe to ignore me

dark dirge
#

for this one issue, at least 🙂

Set the the input number configuration mode: option to box

Thanks Tom,

That just creates a white space on the lovelace card. Maybe the input_number is the wrong sensor.

I'm calculating the averages for temperatures, and placing them into the input_number, and using that for other automations. Is that the correct helper for that use case?

errant plover
#

It should create a number entry box like this:

Screenshot_2021-07-08_at_12-47-08_Overview_-_Home_Assistant.png

It will create a sensor you can use in other automations.

Hello. Im having an issue with custom button card. If I embed a light card into it and use the circular slider then changes wont "take effect" until I click anywhere else on the screen.

Hi, I have a Entities card that I've been able to edit in YAML, until now. Just updated to 2021.7.0. When trying to edit it, I get lots of errors and I can't save changes. Here is the card's YAML. https://hastebin.com/egejiqolaf.yaml

I've been looking at the docs to see if something has changed, but haven't found anything. If you notice something in the source that has changed, please let me know. TIA!

I moved some stuff around, deleted some stuff, and it seems like it doesn't like the button code. I did, at one point, get things pasted such that it let me save it, the only difference being the bottom four lines moved to the top. But coming right back into it again, showed the same errors. The card image is blurred, with the wait circle icon, and the Save button is not available. This is some flaky behavior. I tried clearing the browser cache, but that doesn't seem to help. Just happened again, moved the top four lines back to bottom, errors disappeared, saved it. Went right back into edit and the errors showed again. Appears to be a BUG. Note that the card actually works. The UI YAML editor/parser is broken.

Please see my previous post here: #frontend-archived message I found some chatter on GitHub about this or something similar people were experiencing with the Button Type in an Entitities Card requiring an Entity, although the Docs said it did not. Not sure how that landed, as it seemed to go back and forth. But this seems to be related to JUST the Button part of this Card, I remove it and all errors disappear.

When renaming a device, should the entities also be renamed?

#

Or is it expected to rename each entity manually also?

polar kelp
#

The system tries to intelligently rename the entities, and if it’s possible it will ask for confirmation. But it can’t be guaranteed to work.

#

If you e.g. rename the device ”lamp” to ”light” it may be able to rename ”light.kitchen_lamp” to ”light.kitchen_light”. But will not try to rename e.g. ”light.kitchen_table”

Depends. Device based automations, probably. Entity base ones, probably not.
For history I don't actually know, but I would think so 🤔

I figured out how to hide badges while certain condition not met, using display: none in raw configuration editor, but is this a sane approach?

Hey all, I’ve got ha on iPhones and on an iPad- on the wall 🙂 but the iPad doesn’t allow long presses to change lights colour etc. is this a setting or something else? Cheers!

I currently have an entities card with temperatures and I'd like it to color the icon depending on the state of the reading (for example red when >95 degrees), is this possible?

#

Anyone have hacs frontend mini media player integration? When adding manual card i get an element not found error. Cleared cookies/restarted HA to no avail.

#

disregard, was following a video and the guy missed to mentioned a modification to configuration.yaml was required 😦

kind shellBOT
#

Videos are great to watch but are usually out of date QUICK.... Best to read the DOCS

Command '~videos' was invoked by: RobC
strange heart
#

I read the configuration and it was saying to edit config.yaml and add a resources: which is wrong. resources; goes inside the card not the configuration.yaml

dark dirge
#

That’s not true

#

it goes in configuration.yaml if you're configuring Lovelace in YAML mode or in configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards -> Resources, but never inside the card

heavy pasture
#

I see that some of my custom cards that I added with hacs are available when I add a card through the ui and others are not. Is there a configuration setting that I did incorrectly that is causing this?

brisk rock
#

Hmm does anyone know of lovelace integration to dynamically generate cards that still works with the gui editor/embedded DB enabled? Ie. I want to create a card for each value in a list of attributes

#

Only found lovelace_gen but only yaml mode is supported afaik

steep steppe
#

did upgrade, looks nice but titles of badges still remain black on dark themes, is this something i broke/overlooked?

#

And what on earth is the 'logic' in ordering cards in views

karmic tiger
#

They appear in the order you set 🤷‍♂️

#

They may not appear in the columns you expect, since it's nigh impossible to set the order and have a responsive layout that can handle a wide range of screen sizes.

got a rain precipitation sensor with precip as an attribute , can i make this card conditional by precip forecast attribb ?

dark dirge
#

Which card? That looks like a set of attributes

#

The easiest way to make a card conditional based on an attribute is by creating a template binary sensor entity and using it in conjunction with a conditional card

plain onyx
#

@dark dirge its the custom:neerslag-card which gives a 3 hour window into rain precipitation , and the pastebin are 2 precip sensors attributes indeed...

#

if precip =< 0 dont show card

dark dirge
#

Then what I recommended

plain onyx
#

also possible when the precip attribute is in the sensor 10x

dark dirge
#

Sure

#

this is really a template question. something like {{ state_attr('sensor.whatever', 'data').precip|select(">", 0)|list|length > 0 }}

#

adjust to suite

plain onyx
# 
      regen_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Regen"
        value_template: >-
            {% if state_attr('sensor.neerslag_buienalarm_regen_data', 'precip') == '0' %}
              Geen regen verwacht
            {% else %}
              Regen verwacht
            {% endif %}
#

this work too ?

tawny cipher
#

What's the best way for me to change the state text for an entity in a Glance card? e.g. the state is very_low but I want to change it to show Very Low on the card. Can I do this without creating a template sensor? I'd rather keep it just in the UI if possible.

dark dirge
#

and "precip" isn't an attribute of that sensor. data is

plain onyx
#

it has precip in attribute

dark dirge
#

you already showed that

#

no, it's not

#

data is the attribute, which is a dict, which has a key called "precip"

plain onyx
#

ah thnks

karmic tiger
#

Which is a list...

dark dirge
#

yes

karmic tiger
#

Learning data structures is important if you're going to work with, well... data.

dark dirge
#

returns true if any of the values in the list are greater than 0 and false otherwise. You can modify the test if it's not quite what you want

#

I tested it on your data, but I don't have an actual entity with that attribute

#

if you just care about the first list item, then it's much simpler: {{ state_attr('sensor.whatever', 'data').precip[0] > 0 }}

plain onyx
#

ah thanks , i have another precip sensor which spits it out without attrib though should i leave the .precip ?

dark dirge
#

is that just a long string?

#

and there's clearly no "precip" in there

plain onyx
#

nope this is another sensor though

#

its made up in columns

#

Precip in mm | time

#

the one from before worked , giving me true or false for rain

#

but have 2 precipitation sensors

dark dirge
#

it's just a long string

plain onyx
#

yep

Does anyone has an idea why my frontend cant be loaded anymore? i use an edgerouter that forwards 80/443 to an vm with nginx proxy manager, that then translates that url to the hassio with 7.1 and adds 8123

Sounds like it's not trying to make a GET request. I'd guess you've misconfigured your proxy.

I doubt HA decided to randomly start rejecting certain HTTP methods that were supported before. I haven't seen anyone else with similar issues.

naive ingot
#

hello HA pros! the garage door switches I installed over the weekend are using a binary sensor (reed switch) to determine if the door is open or closed. Unfortunately, that shows in the frontend as "on" or "off," when I want my wife to be able to see "closed" or "open," respectively. How do I change that sensor display in the frontend?

karmic tiger
naive ingot

thanks @karmic tiger !

#

what's the right forum on the backend side to ask related follow-on questions? would it be #integrations-archived ?

karmic tiger

For most things, yes.

Then there would have been warnings about that in the logs. It was also mentioned in the breaking changes of the release notes.

Hi! I have an automation which requires de reload of yaml files inside a package. I'm aware I can reload automations and scripts, but what I want to reload is this line:
lovelace_gen: !include_dir_merge_named ../../hki-user/config/
anyway to do this currently?

dark dirge
#

Not unless it provides a reload option in configuration -> Server Controls

gusty tangle

HI! does anyone know if you can have MDI icons in a title? something like this? title: Bedroom {mdi:bed}

karmic tiger
#

With the default cards, nope. With custom cards, maybe... if they do something fancy.

gusty tangle
#

hmm. would be cool :/

#

guess emojis work

karmic tiger
#

Yeah, emojis are the next best thing. If you want to suggest a change, you can make a feature request on the forums.

gusty tangle

yes will do!

Hey all. I tried updating to the latest version of hass core, but now it's broken. When I look it via DNS, it gives me a view similar to the hass login, but with the error "Unable to connect to Home Assistant" and sends just sends me an HTTP 400. If I use the IP and port directly, it gives me ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE I am using Nginx Proxy manager, which is started up and working and appears to be configured correctly. I havent changed any settings in the last week or so other than making an OS and core update today.

#

Connecting to the SSH results in connection refused.

proven oar
#

have you read the breaking changes on the release notes?

vapid field
#

Touche. I think i had one of those required settings in the conf but not the other. I vaguely remember setting it when I was first configuring it.

#

Although looking at the example config, i recall setting both of those options, but perhaps not

proven oar
#

was just a wild guess from me, not sure thats your problem 🙂

dark dirge
#

review the HA logs

vapid field
#

Yeah it appears the IP changed for the reverse proxy for some reason

#

so it was no longer in my list of trusted IPs

#

@proven oar good guess, as that was what the logs were screaming about. I'm rebooting hass now to see if it fixes it

polar kelp
vapid field

It works now. thanks y'all 🙂

you can specify a network (x.x.x.x/24) if you're using a Docker network that may assign different addresses on restart

#

this is true of the NGINX-related addons, and the http docs show a network for that case

Somehow (playing around), I lost the possibility to edit each lovelave card with the UI. How can I get it back?

hey all, i try to start a script by tapping on a picture-elements card. I use this piece of code:

            tap_action:
              action: call-service
              service: homeassistant.turn_on
              service-data:
                - entity_id: script.my_script

sadly the script is not executed by clicking on the card. Can someone give me a hint whats wrong here?

karmic tiger
#

This looks wrong:

  - entity_id: script.my_script```
The hyphen denotes a list entry and you're only able to provide a single dict here.

Why not just call the service directly instead of using homeassistant.turn_on?

  action: call-service

Greetings. I'm trying to make only certain sections of a yaml file to load depending on the user permissions. However I'm having trouble dealing with the user variable

#

This is what I have

#

{% if 'user.is_admin == 'true' %}
User is admin
{% else %}
User is not admin
{% endif %}

#

never on the official docs

karmic tiger
#

I'm trying to make only certain sections of a yaml file to load
Explain this bit please.

#

And this isn't valid:
{% if 'user.is_admin == 'true' %}
You have a random quote before user.

pure hawk
pure hawk
#

Maybe this bit of code will explain better than me

#

{% if '${user.is_admin}' %}
- !include
- '../templates/other/title-text.yaml'
- name: Importar Dashboard
- type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
border-radius: var(--border-radius);
box-shadow: var(--box-shadow);
}
entities:
- entity: input_select.dashboard_importer
name: Selecione a dashboard
{% endif %}

#

Basically I want every line after the if statement to load if the current user is and owner. If not, it does now show

karmic tiger
#

Yeah... there's basically zero chance of that working. You're trying to get the bankend to decide stuff based on the frontend.

#

That file is loaded in its entirety and then the UI is generated.

#

If you want conditionally displayed items in the UI based on the current user, that needs to be done in the UI.

pure hawk
#

oh, so first the file is loaded and then the user variable is loaded? I'm confused which parts are back and front end here

pure hawk
karmic tiger
#

HA 'loads' the YAML from disk, including any sub-files referenced by !includes. HA then generates the data needed for Lovelace. Lovelace is loaded when you access your HA in a browser. Only then does a user exist, and only in the context of that current browser session.

#

You could have 10 people logged in at once. The backend doesn't keep track of them all to generate different Lovelace configs.

pure hawk
#

oh, so the user is tied to the front-end?

karmic tiger
#

Always. The backend just cares about authentication. The frontend will show what you tell it to.

karmic tiger
# pure hawk also, how?

You'll want to look into ways to conditionally display cards. I don't know if the built in condition card can use the user object, so you might have to get clever with custom cards.

pure hawk

I think that is what this here is trying to do:
