Why not both?

#

Hm i just tried to make the new Statistics Graph Card and i can select my Aqara Temperature Sensor entity but then nothing happens only text with "no statistics found" appears?
Can someone help me?

karmic tiger
#

And if you dig deeper:

Home Assistant has support for storing sensors as long-term statistics if the entity has the right properties. A requirement to opt-in for statistics is that the sensor has state_class set to measurement. That means that the current value represents the current value.

rain scroll
#

Uh hm im completely new and don't know to code things, but is this something i can easily change on my own to bring it to work?

karmic tiger
#

Did you read the page I linked you to? It says to open an issue (if you don't know how to code) and has a link with more details (for those that do).

#

If you want to try to code it, you can follow that link and have a read.

#

If you think you understand it well enough and want to try to update it, that's where to start... but if you're completely new to programming, you may find it difficult.

#

This is where you'd open an issue (search first to make sure you're not making a duplicate):

Yea i don't understand it to code something :D

Thx for the help i try to search if someone has already posted it and if not i write an issue

#

oh ffs, i've spent hours over the last day or so making a new page for my dashboard,,, come to use it on a different computer and it wouldn't show the new updated page. and somehow it has saved it so i've lost all that work. i don't suppose there is some kind of way to restore changes? i'm guessing not.

#

i don't understand, why is lovelace so terrible at updating its cached ...erm... everything??

karmic tiger
#

If you didn't take a backup, you're probably out of luck.

#

You do take backups, right?

#

And it's usually not Lovelace that's the problem... browsers do the caching.

#

If you're worried about losing progress on things, switching to YAML mode and using git for version control is one of the best options.

hallow mango
#

so i've set up a grocy docker container (not the addon), and want to add its webui to my sidebar

#

i found the panel_iframe integration, which "works", but it only loads the login page, and doesn't change when i log in

#

like it's always stuck on that one page

#

this is what my panel yaml looks like:

panel_iframe:
  grocy:
    title: "Grocy"
    url: "http://192.168.1.229:9283/stockoverview"
#

i would run it as an addon, but the grocy app for android does not yet support the version of grocy that the addon is based on... and on top of that, the addon itself has issues making it hard to use from within the HA app

any way to resize UI cards?

#

major shortcoming of frontend are these cards... how is there no easy way to sort and resize them

#

.>

tropic skiff
#

custom cards make it pretty easy to resize cards (I think the best one is a grid card from Thomas Loven at least in my opinion haha)

#

Also super dumb question I just cant figure out how to disable an icon in my YAML

the entity has no icon defined and yet it continues to stay there (I can change it with icon: mdi:lightbulb or some random other icon but I dont know how to hide it)

summer heron
#

Hey really dumb question I'm sure, but I'm still confused after reading everything I can find - HOW do I call MDI Icons? mdi:whatever does nothing, do I need to add something in config to allow them?

summer heron

Hello everyone, I need some help getting some info on a lovelace card.

#

I'm using the meteoalarm integration to get weather alarms

#

normally, when you put that on an entity card, it just tells you safe or unsafe and if you want to know more, you have to click the card and then click on attributes, to see what exactly is the unsafe event

#

is there a way to make a lovelace card, that will just show me all that information directly, instead of having to manually click through it and into the attributes subsection?

karmic tiger
#

You should make a template sensor that surfaces the information you care about, then display that sensor on a card.

spare loom
#

Can you point me to the relevant documentation on how to do that?

#

for the meteo alarm integration

#

please?

errant plover
#

Specifically state_attr()

spare loom
#

will look into it, thank you.

carmine fern
#

I've got my button-cards setup to use auto color mode for the card. I find though that when switching to that dashboard with a light already on it will flash the colour for a second then go back to black/grey as if it was off. If I turn the light off and on again it shows the colour normally until switching away from that dashboard and back.

I am trying the new energy-function, I have added power consumption from my tibber-integration, but it doesn't seem to give any data. So I think i am using the wrong sensor. BUt I find no way to modify the energy panel, adding or changing sources and so on. Any tips?

radiant jungle
#

Sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone know how I can get lovelace to show times in my timezone? I assume it is BST that is messing things up, but graphs are all 1hr out

karmic tiger
#

What timezone do you have set in Configuration > General?

radiant jungle
#

Europe/London

#

@karmic tiger which seems right?

worn helm
#

can you reset the "Overview" card to not be configured by UI?

#

I think there was a popup question about editing it, and someone in the household pressed "yes" on that question

#

(I basically want the overview to show whatever entities I add)

karmic tiger
#

If you check your logbook / history, do the times look right there, Starfarer?

radiant jungle
#

no, they are an hour behind

#

{{ now().tzinfo }}
{{ now().astimezone().tzinfo }}
{{ utcnow().tzinfo }}

Gives me:

#

Europe/London
BST
UTC

#

no, idea if that is right

karmic tiger
#

What install type are you using?

radiant jungle
#

karmic tiger

You could check with the folk in #330990055533576204 to see if there's anything else you should investigate.

Calling all frontend experts 😆 . The Markdown card is pretty nice, but it could be awesome if we could use Mermaid (https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/) with it. Most of the popular markdown renderers can take some Mermaid markdown, so would it be possible to make it work with the Markdown card? The upside would be dynamic diagrams!

Hello! Is it possible for lovelace elements to be aligned with each other?

karmic tiger
gaunt musk
#

Hi everybody ! Can you help me to align my lovelace cards ? I want to put an horizontal stack only on browser but not with phone, is it possible ?

#

Masonry layout from custom layout card helped me ! It's okay thx you

carmine fern
#

Is it possible to use images from the \media folder instead of the \www folder for the picture elements card?

karmic tiger
#

I believe not, since the media stuff uses short-lived tokens.

#

www is completely open, so you won't have problems with tokens expiring.

carmine fern
#

Ahh bummer. Yeah that's part of the reason I don't want to use www. Is there another location that isn't open to all that I can use?

karmic tiger
#

Not within HA itself, no.

#

It's not really meant as a fully-featured web server. The www folder is just a nice bonus.

#

If you're able to use external images (I've never tested this), you're welcome to set up your own web server with your own rules.

#

It'll still need to be accessible from wherever you're viewing Lovelace - if that's on some computer at a cafe or the office, your access rules will need to permit that.

Hi, anyone knows how to update lovelace climate status with a Tasmota IR blaster?

This is the version I use:

Question: How can I make a youtube video embedded via iFrame to Lovelace autoplay on the Silk browser?

I have it set so a video autoplays with other browsers, but I can't get it to work with Silk.

I want this because it will prevent my Echo Show from timing out, letting me leave it locked on my Home Assistant page. I just need to get the video to autoplay.

So is there any way within HA to cause it to autoplay (not relying on the URL addition "&autoplay=1", which is what I have now)? Or maybe some way to force a fake click to make it start playing? Idk.

Is there a howto for mdi icons? I can't find anything complete.

dull hazel
#

For a given mdi (e.g. mdi-dance-pole), change it to "mdi:dance-pole" for use in HA.

summer heron
#

Cheers @dull hazel - great to finally have an complete list, but I'm still a bit lost, more than happy to write this up once and for all, but the "usage" section doesn't really give much for the uninitiated.. where does that code go?

#

also npm install @vapid field/font - is that supposed to be somewhere too?

dull hazel
summer heron
#

ah got it

#

cheers, that list needs to be pinned! awesome!

#

No problem.

Not trying to be a jerk without putting my hand up to improve the doco though, once I get my head around HA some more I'll contribute 🙂

dull hazel
#

Well, if anyone figures out a way to make Youtube videos embeded with iframe into Lovelace autoplay on the Silk browser, please let me know. Silk is such a pain to work with, but it's the only option on Echo Show devices.

hello can someone help me installing custom:button-card i did the hacs instalation and whenever try to create a manual card with type
type: 'custom:button-card'
all i get is "Custom element doesn't exist: button-card." in visual editor

dark dirge
#

Do you see the resource in configuration -> Lovelace dashboards -> Resources?

strange bough
#

yes it is as specified in the github repo

dark dirge
#

What did you put there?

#

Should be /hacsfiles/button-card/button-card.js

strange bough
#

/hacsfiles/button-card/button-card.js is in my url

#

do i need to restart server ?

#

haven't tried that

dark dirge
#

You can. Also clear your browser cache

#

Is there a reason I can login to my duckdns front end but I can't access the front end by ip locally? I can see it on the network

#

Server restart seems to have fixed it ...

#

Very weird since is only on frontend repo ...

dark dirge
#

reloading Lovelace resources might have fixed it, but that should happen automatically when you added it

#

Question is there any way to achieve a toggle with an intermitent phase in example a gate automation instead of only on and off state i would like to have opening and closing state or at least one transitional state but input-boolean has only on and off

dark dirge
#

sounds like a cover

cobalt magnet
slow jolt
dark dirge
#

you don't "fix" it, you use the name

#

the alternative is to use a reverse proxy like NGINX that allows external SSL and internal non-SSL connections

strange bough
# dark dirge sounds like a cover

Hmm that seems more of a thing to control the opening percentage , in my case i still have 2 actions but i just want to know when the transition finished from open to close or reverse

dark dirge
#

if you just want a sensor that supports multiple values then use a sensor

#

I don't know where the limitation of the input_boolean is coming from

strange bough
#

I'm using a esp32 to control the gate and i wrote the code myself on the controller side it has 4 states , open ,close ,opening ,closing i just dont know how to bring that to the UI 🥲

dark dirge
#

how do you want to expose it in the UI?

#

does your ESP expose a sensor?

strange bough
#

No sensor just mqtt and a relay

#

I keep track of gate state acording to the time it takes to open or close

dark dirge
#

I'm still unclear about how the open/closed/opening/closing information is being made available to HA

#

this seems less about how to represent it in the UI as about how to turn it into an entity that you can then display

#

if you're really asking "how do I make a template cover that shows open/closed/opening/closing", then that's fine

strange bough
#

I guess im stuck at the entity part

dark dirge
#

the UI just represents stuff that already exists

#

how is HA getting this data?

#

4 states , open ,close ,opening ,closing

#

an MQTT sensor?

strange bough
#

No sensor just a microcontroller

dark dirge
#

No sensor just mqtt and a relay

#

how are you planning to get that info into HA?

#

you keep saying "no sensor", but that's not really responsive

strange bough
#

As it is now the controller is subscribed to that input boolean recieves the on and off inputs and does it things

dark dirge
#

what is populating the input_boolean? that's just a helper in HA

#

do you mean binary_sensor?

#

I feel like we have a terminology problem here

strange bough
#

Yeah sorry i am new to this

#

I know how to program the controllers but i have 0 experience with integrating them into HA

dark dirge
#

but you're somehow getting the data into HA? Or not?

strange bough
#

I could publish the states into the mqttbroker

#

Now it's just subscribing

dark dirge
#

"it's" is HA?

#

what exactly does this mean?

#

Now it's just subscribing

tacit gate
#

Hi all, i want to make a custom gauge card, based of the one currently in HA. I kinda miss 2 features that i'm going to add in the custom one. But where do i start?

strange bough
#

the controller is subscribed to a topic
'garage_door_topic"
the input boolean helper is triggering a node red flow which publishes the message on the mqtt broker then the controller recieves the message and takes action

dark dirge
#

I'm confused about what is detecting the state and what is reacting to it. If Node Red knows the state, what is the microcontroller doing?

#

Node Red can communicate directly with HA

strange bough
#

i'm going to do some more reading on it as it is right now the state is only internal on the microcontroller , node red only reacts to the input boolean if boolean input is on sends message to open the gate if it's off sends message to close the gate , i can make the controller publish it's state on the mqtt broker then probabily i need another entity that is aware of that state ...

dark dirge
#

an MQTT cover could take the place of the input_boolean and Node Red integration by combining the current state of the gate and the open/close functionality

#

once it's all part of the same integration, it can be easily represented in the UI. Otherwise, if you just want to surface the sensor state, then an MQTT Sensor can represent however many states you want

strange bough
#

ok i will read into that thank you very much for your time sorry for being such a noob 😄

dark dirge
#

np, it seems like you have most of the hard stuff under control, it's just bringing it together. Further questions about how to bring data into HA should go to #integrations-archived

ok i understand 🙂

Hello.

#

i hope this is the proper channel for question about lovelace cards?

polar kelp
#

Probably

lavish bone
#

i have several glance cards with climate information.
i wanted the title text (nice big white letters) to include some dynamic information like "last updated xx minutes ago"
but i failed to manage that, so i am using a markdown card followed by the glance card

polar kelp
#

Nice classic workaround. I like it

lavish bone
#

if instead of the glance card i was using the entities... i could actually insert the markdown in the same card

#

but that's not possible in the glance card? is there some sort of workaournd?
because honestly, the little gap between the two cards is driving me nuts 😄

#

(can i post a picture here?)

polar kelp
lavish bone
#

i'll check that out, tho i was trying to stay away from 3rd party stuff for now.

#

(extra possible point of failure, separate updating process, etc)

polar kelp
#

Thirdly, you could put both the markdown and the glance card in the entities card...

lavish bone
#

wait... merge them with an entity card?

lavish bone
polar kelp
#

-type: custom:hui-glance-card

lavish bone
#

ez enough to give it a test

#

brb gonna try 😄

polar kelp
lavish bone
#

i am kinda strugling with the proper formatting

#

i hate YAML and it's "leading - and exactly THIS amount of blank spaces" format

polar kelp
#

Start with your glance card in the editor, click Show Code Editor and copy that.

lavish bone
#

yeah did that

lavish bone
#

ok i got it to work.
nice idea. looks better than before... but

#

still not perfect

#

i just wish we could use dynamic data in the title

#

or at least that the glance card had header/footer where we could add stuff

#

this will do tho

#

thx a lot Thomas

#

heya.
@polar kelp helped me this afternoon to get some nice cards going.
they worked nice but now out of the sudden they stop working
i have big red errors everywhere i made the card with this message:

Custom element doesn't exist: hui-markdown-card.
#

which is weird, because it was working just fine a few hours ago

#

i restarted home assistant, error still happens
i updated homeassista nt (was only a minor version behind) and still same

polar kelp
#

I posted you a link to an explanation. That begun with "IMPORTANT". Read that part.

lavish bone
#

yepp. i thought it would be black or white. either works or not.
it's weird it was working for a few hours then stopped

#

i only made like 5 cards... that is gonna affect perfomance to a point of breaking everything out of the sudden?

#

@polar kelp so if i install hui-element
then just a couple changes in the yaml and everything should work?

polar kelp
#

It's not about you breaking performance. Since you're not using any markdown cards the "normal" way anmore, lovelace don't know about them and won't pre-load it for you.

#

If you add a single markdown card somewhere in the same view it will likely work again.

lavish bone
#

this is quite discouraging for a noob like me...
all i wanted is make everything more compact and show "last updated" in the title...
now i have to read 8 pages of instructions on how to install a custom .js and learn all that ;_;

lavish bone
polar kelp
#

It's likely to work.

lavish bone
#

i'll check this first then

#

yepp. added a basic markdown with a . in it on the first page

#

now everything is working

#

i mean, if this is a dirty trick, i'll have to do it "properly" eventually... but it's just so much info to learn for something i thought was easy and basic to achieve

#

it's like "can you tell me how to say thank you in chinese?" "yes, here, learn these 10 books first" (I don't mean you Thomas, it's the way I generally feel when trying to figure out stuff in HA)

#

😉

polar kelp
#

I'd say it's more like someone replying "well, the translation for 'you' depends on who you're talking to, your relationships and their familys standing in this era of chinese history where the language was defined because... ...not to mention which region of China you are in."

#

That's what I think getting started feels like. There are so many new concepts that you don't even realize are important yet.

lavish bone
#

which doesn't matter because I just wanted to be polite in a chinese restaurant downtown and the answer was "xiexie" 😄

#

HA seems easy enough. documentation is there "mostly" understandable for a guy like me...
but some times... something that in my head should be very simple... turns out to be a nightmare of international diplomatic incident proportions

#

i appretiate all the help and patiente @polar kelp

Hi, I'm having a little trouble with my HA. Suddenly I can't connect to the front-end/UI and I can't figure out why. I've tried restarting the docker container I have it running in but that didn't work. I can't connect via the IP address so I've only got the console to work with.

karmic tiger
#

If you have console access, you can check the logs.

#

You can also run a command line config check to see if that highlights any problems:

kind shellBOT
#

Always run the configuration check command when you make changes. Don't trust the UI check - it misses some problems.

Command '.check' was invoked by: mono
lime horizon
#

I think I already tried that @karmic tiger , it didn't highlight any problems. Not surprised since I didn't make any changes to the config recently.

#

How can I look at the logs?

karmic tiger
#

If you're using Docker, docker logs <containername> from the host. But if it's a connectivity issue, you'll probably also end up checking the logs of your router and any reverse proxies you have.

lime horizon
#

I can do docker info and registries, no logs tho.
Oddly enough I can still connect to the observer url fine.

#

I'm running home assistant OS 6.2, hopefully that makes things a little more clear

#

I'm used to working with the front end, so I'm a little bit new to this.

fiery ledge
#

has this been noticed before here: on a new format template: sensor, using name: and picture: templates, the dev tools state still shows friendly_name: and entity_picture: in the attributes?

karmic tiger
#

I would assume that's deliberate so as not to be a breaking change for the many thousands of people that already have sensors set up.

#

The terminology used in the configuration of an entity doesn't have to be the same terminology used on the other end.

fiery ledge
#

yeah, probably. It's just that I had changed my naming in quite a few js frontend templates, and because of that these failed to show their (entity_)picture.... So we now have 2 sets of configuration variable namings for the same variables..

karmic tiger
#

🤷‍♂️

#

this might be for Thomas, but using - type: entities entities: - type: custom:hui-element card_type: picture-entity card_mod: style: | ha-card.type-picture-entity { box-shadow: none; margin: -16px -16px 0px -16px; } has been working for a very long time, and with the august update stretches the entities card beyond the regular cards width. I need to set margin: -16px -8px 0px -8px; but obviously that is too narrow...

#

all other margin widths in the entities below this use the indentical numbers

#

taking out the history-graph (and keeping the old) -16px margins works alright, so it might also be the graph that has changed?

gray pelican
#

Got it to work using the raw configuration editor per view, but not to apply to all views at once. I think I actually prefer it this way. More flexibility.

I have this card from HACS on my dashboard: https://github.com/bramkragten/weather-card

I'm pulling weather data from OpenWeatherMap

Why is the middle right data (that is measured in distance (e.g. mi)) missing for me?

Is there any way to fix this, or alternatively could I replace that with something else (e.g. cloud coverage, UV index, air quality index, etc.)?

Is it possible to show a secundary state from another sensor? I guess this need some type of hacs card, but have anyone done this?
I use a glance card and the state is "Hemma" as you can see in the pic, but i have a template that changes it to "Hemma since 18:42" etc, does anyone know if it's possible to make that sensor show as state, instead? Thanks! https://i.imgur.com/DlqZgUV.png

#

@brisk canopy I'd use the template sensor instead and then either navigate to a custom page on tap instead of a more info, or use card-mod to change the more-info to the entity you want to display

#

Hopefully that long of text looks okay as well

#

entities card rows are better for that type of info imo. e.g.

Hey there,

i hope that i am posting in the right channel...

I use the simple thermostat card and there i could use a sensor entity for displaying the humidity.
But i do not have an humidity sensor in every room.

If i do not use the sensor, the card get smaller and for that i want to get a template_sensor (or whatever) with an NULL_value.

Do you have any suggestions for me how to achieve that?

this happens only on android and firefox on my machine.. on chrome on my machine works as expect...

the card was a symling

I would have expected it to be cached by ha if symlink

Nope. That’s a python limitation. So the problem was actually in chrome.

viral sorrel
#

no it's not configured for https at all.. i have nabu casa so don't need https from outside.. just internally because multiple addons have a reduced featureset without it

Then I recommend you ask in the channel for your install method. You'll need a registered domain or a self-signed certificate.
Or can you just use the NC url from inside too?

I have a button with a scene attached and this is my config:

type: button
tap_action:
  action: toggle
entity: scene.full_blacklight
#

but I get this error 'Failed to call service scene/turn_off. Service not found.' when i press it

#

even if the scene is already off

#

the scenes work when i activate them manually

polar kelp
#

That's half correct and half a bug. Scenes can't be "turned on" or "off". They're "called" "applied".

karmic tiger
#

Doesn't help that there's a service for scene.turn_on. That's confusing 😄

#

But yes, no equivalent to turn off a scene. Using a toggle makes no sense.

signal hornet
#

So what's the best solution? Do I need to create another scene?

karmic tiger
#

Best depends on what you're trying to achieve 🤷‍♂️

signal hornet
#

I really would like just one button

#

to turn on and off the scene

karmic tiger
#

Well since you can't turn off a scene, what do you consider as 'off'?

#

The state it was before? Some other state?

polar kelp
#

Scenes are like saves.

signal hornet
#

i have full blacklight and partial blacklight, when either is turned off, I want all lights off

#

reguardless of which is turned off

#

i feel like this is probably easily solved with node red

polar kelp
#

Then what you actually want might be two light groups.

karmic tiger
#

Then create a scene with all lights off. You'll probably end up making a template switch where the 'on' sets one scene and the 'off' sets another.

signal hornet
#

okay

karmic tiger
#

Or what thomas said smart

signal hornet
#

Im a bit confused how two light groups would work?

#

actually i understand nvm

polar kelp
#

It's not a perfect match. But the alternative is three scenes.

#

...which actually probably would make for a better UX...

karmic tiger
#

Yeah, toggles don't feel a good fit here.

#

Pick a scene from a selection. When you want something else, pick another scene.

signal hornet
#

sounds good, not the worst solution

Hi guys, im looking for a button that (when i press it) unfolds entities (ie: lights). I've seen it somewhere on the forums but atm unable to find it..

stray salmon
#

how can I override the entity type? I thought there was a menu for it but I'm coming up blank

karmic tiger
shut river
#

i've got 3 scenes containing multiple philips hue lights at different settings, eg. on, off, and dimmed. i'm trying to figure out the best way to create a card with a button for each scene that will somehow show which scene is selected, so i can know from another room if the lights are all on, off, or dimmed. scenes don't seem to have a usable status, so that seems out. i've created scripts around each scene, which do show a status of on/off, but only while the script is running. am i thinking about this wrong? any ideas on how i should approach this?

dark dirge
stray salmon
#

jeez just didn't look low enough in the list lol, I was convinced it was under something else

karmic tiger
shut river
#

sure

#

i totally get that

#

is there some other approach i can take?

karmic tiger
#

Maybe an input select, then you can use the state of that?

#

Set the input select to the name of the scene you activated. That could even form part of the scenes themselves.

shut river
#

can i set a script to report that it's active based on some custom criteria, like say if a particular light entity is on or off?

karmic tiger
#

Scripts are stateless too. I just made a recommendation.

shut river
#

hmmn

#

sorry, i was typing that as you were typing

stray salmon
#

My question is why do you care?

shut river
#

is it possible to have an arbitrary entity whose state is derived from some logic?

stray salmon
#

a helper

#

I have one that holds a number then a script iterates through it when buttons are pushed. Pull in the value increment use that the send the right command, etc

#

still not sure why you care which scene is active, typically you just set the one you want when you want it.

shut river
#

i want to know from another room if i left the lights on in this room

#

and i was hoping to optimize the card by just showing the 3 scenes i have in the room as buttons and show the active state as states of those button icons

stray salmon
#

why not just group the lights and have an entity?

#

if someone changes a single light in the scene manually then your scene button is wrong

shut river
#

ok, so if i have the lights grouped and have an entity, how do i create buttons that will set all those lights to preset brightness levels

#

i may be misunderstanding your suggestion

stray salmon
#

you make buttons that call a scene

#

You want to know if lights are on from another room

#

my suggestion is to handle that

shut river
#

ok, so right now, i have 3 buttons, each of which call a different scene

stray salmon
#

a scene doesn't know if its been modified, its a set and forget thing

shut river
#

yep, there's no state. got it

stray salmon
#

if something outside of the button modifies a light indicating what scene is active is now saying something wrong

shut river
#

sorry, i'm having trouble parsing that sentence

stray salmon
#

lets start from the beginning. Having something indicate what scene is "on" is worthless because things can modify light settings

shut river
#

right, there's no way to detect from a set of lights that they're all set to a setting that matches a given scene

stray salmon
#

calling a scene sets a state one time.

shut river
#

so there's no way to detect that a scene is active

stray salmon
#

if you want to know if lights are on, you create a group with all the lights you want to know about

shut river
#

i get that i can't query a scene entity to get its state

stray salmon
#

you're thinking a scene is more than it is

shut river
#

ok. so i can create a group to let me know the state of all the lights in that group

stray salmon
#

its just a group of commands basically

mild veldt
#

Yugami, he gets it

stray salmon
#

group may not be perfect, depending on the lights in the group

shut river
#

so what i'm asking is how to get these 3 buttons in my glance card that each trigger a different scene to show an active status based on which scene was last selected, if that's even possible

#

and i know i can't get it from the scenes themselves, because they have no state

#

so i was wondering if each button could maybe launch a script that set some variable like "active_state" to "on" or "off" or "dim" that i could then use to show the status

mild veldt
#

You could create unique template sensors for each scene type, but I really question if it’s worth it

you can create a helper and write out a value to it and use template sensors

shut river

ok, i'm looking up template sensors now

thorn ridge
#

Thanks @dark dirge do you know if it's possible to add this to an excisting button? ie: when i press a button it shows entities in there?

shut river
#

it may not be worth it, but i'm trying to learn HA by solving a few specific problems

mild veldt
dark dirge
#

Right, not that

paper spear
thorn ridge
#

hmmm, i saw this post there someone has a button, for instance livingroom, (with state information in THAT button) and on press it shows entities (in that room) and other information

dark dirge
#

You can’t

thorn ridge
#

im trying to recreate that

#

can i copy a link here?

mild veldt
#

Okay well you can hack it maybe but it could also break at anytime

#

You can put a button card in an entities card

thorn ridge
#

its like this

#

looks advanced

mild veldt
#

that's the custom button card

thorn ridge
#

hmmmk

mild veldt
thorn ridge
#

ok that looks really dificult

#

ill be playing around with that

mild veldt
#

When they click on it, is an expansion or a new view? I typically do a new view for stuff like that using the navigate tap action

thorn ridge
#

i think its a new view, atleast, it's what it appears to be

mild veldt
#

yeah, so just create a new view with all the entities you want to show

#

and then on your main view, use the navigate tap_action to show it on click

#

or double or hold or however you want to

#

you can also make the view not visible in the tab row so it looks a bit cleaner

thorn ridge
#

gosh thats a very nice summary there

#

i better be going to work

stray salmon
#

but I question the

dark dirge
#

It’s a fine word

stray salmon
#

do I have to template sensor if I want to invert a sensors meaning?

#

I have 2 sensors that are ON when I want them OFF - inverting them will prevent a lot of logic issues I think

#

when writing automations

mild veldt
#

it might be that you need to set the device class

stray salmon
#

I'm kinda bastardizing this sensor

mild veldt
#

But yeah, if that doesn't work for you, you can template them out

stray salmon
#

I'm using a door sensor hooked to a pressure pad to detect presence in bed

#

the door sensor sends on when no one is on the pad

#

I just feel I'll screw the hell out of the logic if I leave it that way while writing automations

thorn ridge
mild veldt
#

no, I assume that's a custom popup dialog in the pic

thorn ridge
#

hmmmm

mild veldt
thorn ridge
#

for now ill build on a firm basis

#

it already looks sweet, thanks for getting me started

Can I make the Alarmo panel not appear for non-admin users? Other panels like from integrations like AdGuard Home, HACS, and Node-RED are all smart enough to know to not show themselves to non-admins. Only Alarmo has this problem. Granted, if a user taps on it, they get greeted by an "Access is blocked" error, but I'd rather they just not see the panel at all. No, I don't want to disable the panel on a device-by-device basis, as I like to give guests to my home access to a guest profile, and that would be annoying.

#

Also, I'm looking to remove the calendar panel without losing the ability to make automations dependent upon my calendar. Again, I'm not interested in just hiding it, but to prevent it from generating in the first place.

@errant plover I added the following to my config, and I get values, but it does not seem to be changing over time. did I miss a piece?

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      upstairs_temperature: 
        friendly_name: 'Upstairs Temp.'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.upstairs', 'current_temperature') }}"
      ground_floor_temp:
        friendly_name: 'Ground Floor Temp.'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.ground_floor', 'current_temperature') }}"
errant plover
#

That looks ok. Add a unit of measurement to each sensor though.

#

They should update when the climate integrations update.

can I change an Attribute in Developer tools to test?

Yes you can

Can anyone help me with the custom button card? I've got an issue where if a device is on and I switch to the dashboard with the button on it the button will flash the on colour temporarily then go back to the off colour.

If I turn the device on via the button the colour will show permanently until I change dashboard again

Does anyone know how I can edit and add events to a calendar?

Happy Sunday All! I have a general knowledge/education question.....
I use a lot of custom: button-cards and would like to change the properties of them (name, color, etc) based on values/states of OTHER sensors/entities. Unlike templates in HomeAssistant, they use Javascript formatting and I'm struggling to learn it. Can anyone point me to a good resource where I can try and gain some knowledge about the commands/syntax required? Thanks!! 🙂

dark dirge
#

it's pretty straightforward. here's an example from the docs:

# 
        - background-color: >
            [[[
              if (states['input_number.test'].state == 0)
                return "green";
              return "red";
            ]]]

Can you make the built-in /map route display location entities? Or should I use a map card for that

Pretty sure the map only displays device trackers. The map card can display geolocation services and location entities as well.

Sorry I meant device trackers. Device trackers show up in the map card but not in the map sidepanel. Is this configurable ?

The only place they wont show is when they are home.

hi, new to HA. Is there a way do fully customize the frontend to my liking ? Especially Colors and Style of Widgets/Buttons and overall look ?

Start by searching for "Themes" in the documents then lookup card-mod.

There are fully customised themes available for download, e.g. Dwain's Theme.

Hello, I have a status indicator / input select which can take three different stages:

  • working
  • ended
  • off

defined as follows:

input_select:
  machine_status:
    name: B2B Status
    options:
      - off
      - working
      - ended
    initial: off
    icon: mdi:machine

I want to visualize those stages, working = red, ended = yellow, off = red. How can I do that in a lovelace card? Pls note the user should not change them, just see them, in one tile.

Thx a lot for pointers!

errant plover
#

If you don't want the user to be able to change the state you should create a template sensor to report the state of the input_select and put that where they can see it instead of the input_select. To change the colour depending on the state you will need card-mod. https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod

hello any idea what card are they using in this example? https://prnt.sc/1qgcvbk it is from a theme but no mention on of the cards

or how could it be done a glance-like card for persons

You could probably do it with two custom button cards

In a horizontal stack or layout card

obsidian pier

well that maybe but the home, and battery % sensor? how would that b? in the button?

See the docs for the custom button card

This may be a silly question. Inside an entities: block, is it possible to declare an entity from an attribute? Or do I need to create it in sensors.yaml first?

You'd create a template sensor and use that instead, yes.

You'd have to make a lot of changes to the source code, so you'd basically be maintaining your own fork of the frontend repo.

I am using the picture-elements card as a background for my tablet ui. recently I started having 2 issues which I think may be connected in some way. Issue #1 is when I place my Dashboard in edit mode, I do not get the "Edit" at the bottom of the card. Sometimes a browser refresh fixes this, but most of the time it does not. Issue #2 is that the elements that I am attempting to add to the picture elements card don't consistently show up unless I do a browser refresh which most often still does not solve the issue.

polar kelp
#

I've just started running into #1 myself. Switching view usually works.

feral rivet
#

I have tried this out with Microsoft Edge,Firefox and Chrome, all which are giving me the same results. I have rebooted my device and made sure all browsers are updated. What other options do I have.

#

Yes that has help a few times, but I am unable to make it work consistently. Not glad you are having this issue, but glad someone else can attest to what is happening.

polar kelp
#

Disabling all lovelace plugins would be a next step.

I usually go to Configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards -> Resources and just change all the URLs to something that's easy to restore, like add a 1 to the end.

That should be ok with HACS too (once restored)

Well that is not working our well at all. After going through and placing a 1 at the end of each URL such as this/hacsfiles/banner-card/banner-card.js1 My views are all saying custom elements does not exist. Did I miss something?

Hi,

Have a bit of issue trying to get https://github.com/DBuit/light-popup-card working with https://github.com/DBuit/Homekit-panel-card. I've got those installed in HACS along with https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod. My card configuration is:

type: custom:homekit-card
entities:
  - title: Test
    popup:
      type: custom:light-popup-card
    entities:
      - entity: switch.fan_lights
      - entity: light.desk_lamp
      - entity: switch.ceiling_fan

Tapping on the buttons toggle the entities as expected, but long pressing does not bring up a popup. Anything I'm missing or doing wrong?

Hey all - I'm having a little trouble understanding how multiple media folders work. I set up 2 as the documentation suggests, one as /media and another as /mnt/recordings.

I’ve done it with views

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example

Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

For over 15 lines you must use a code share site such as https://paste.ubuntu.com/.

also, in the example photo at the top of https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-glance/ the icons are right-aligned and there's space between some of them. in my card, the icons aren't right-aligned, and i can't figure out how to create a space between icons. any suggestions?

polar kelp
#

Entities that can be toggled, e.g. switch, light go on the right. Icons that indicate a status e.g. sensor, binary_sensor go in the middle.

shut river
#

ok, so i guess my lock.front_door can't be toggled... hmmn

#

apparently its state is either locked or unlocked

#

is there a way to create a facade entity for that that can be toggled?

#

or is there a way to define what goes in the middle and the right side of the card? i only see one entitites key

#

i see, it auto-detects where the entity should go based on the entity itself

#

so i need to figure out some way to make a proper toggleable entity for my front door lock

#

is there a concept in home assistant of creating an abstract entity, that has its own state, possibly derived from another entity's state, that can trigger other actions when turned on, off, or toggled?

dark dirge
#

That’s a template switch

#

You’ve pretty much described it exactly

shut river
#

awesome!

#

@dark dirge is there a way to just use the current icon of another entity as the icon_template?

dark dirge
#

If it’s an attribute of that entity, yes

shut river
#

i don't see it as an attribute if i go to developer tools, but the icon does show in the info popup and when i show lock.front_door as an entity in a card

dark dirge
#

Then, no

shut river
#

ah bummer

dark dirge
#

You can figure out what icon it’s using and just use it directly

shut river
#

yeah, it has locked, unlocking, unlocked, and locking states, and 3 different icons

#

i can do it manually, but i was hoping to avoid it

#

I am pretty new to home assistant. I have it installed on a raspberry PI4 with an external SSD. I have a couple issues that hoping I can get some help. Firstly everything I have setup will work for about a week then everything stops working and I cannot access the webpage. I have to reboot the PI and it will work for about another week and then stop again. I thought it might be getting hot and shutting down so I started historizing the CPU temp and it never gets to hot.I do have some errors in the log file but I cannot figure out how to fix them. Also, I am running ZHA and deConz with two different coordinators. I wonder if that is what is causing the issue

I've got a dashboard set up using trusted_networks and allow_bypass_login to avoid having to log in on it, but whenever the dashboard loads, it pops up a "would you like to stay logged in" message. Is there any way to get rid of that, that anyone knows of?
