Thx. Wanted try to avoid one more custom integration, but what to do, life's go on :). Will try this later, my working hours started now, thank you very much.

Hi Y'all! Is this the right channel for a reverse proxy question? I can also post it in #ios_and_mac-archived since I have a problem loading the frontend in the app. I don't think it is ios related, but reverse proxy. The point is as follows: on laptop HA loads fine with local url AND with duckdns url. So the reverse proxy is setup fine and xforwardfor and trusted proxies must be correct, right? In the ios app, the local url loads fine but the duckdns url doesn't load after login... I suspect it is because of strict content security police rules I have: Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self' http: https: data: blob: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; frame-ancestors 'self';" always;
But it has to at least be something that is different with the app than with the browser frontend. Any ideas?

wind condor
#

I tested it with leaving out content security policy headers and now the app works. So what should I allow to have it work properly? It is important for security to set strict CSP rules, so I can't just leave it like this.

karmic tiger
#

The http integration is a topic for #integrations-archived. But since you've already solved it, you can leave it alone now. Don't worry about CSP, since your HA server isn't exactly going to be a big target for hackers 😉

wind condor
#

well, that's not how I like to approach security :-p

karmic tiger
#

🤷‍♂️

#

Security is about risk vs effort. There's no risk, so you should spend no effort on it.

#

If you have HTTPS and you don't go advertising your domain to potential attackers, you're good.

wind condor
#

It doesn't have to be iron clad but getting a good score on ssllabs and securityheaders.com is default practice. Content-Security-Policy is part of that. Plus with so many people using HA from behind a reverse proxy it makes sense that we as a community know the right policy for it. Once it works I'd be happy to contribute a page for the HA docs

anyone else seeing 'RangeError: currency is not a well-formed currency code' in Inspector? could that be caused by €/kWh instead of EUR/kWh

#

probably.... while above error was in Safari, Chrome says: Invalid currency code : €/kWh at new NumberFormat

dark dirge
#

There’s a link in configuration -> General that explains the values

fiery ledge
#

yes, it says EUR, but EUR/kWh looks really ugly in the frontend as unit on an entity. Ive just asked if we are allowed to PR that to €/kWh in #devs_energy-archived .which does work in energy: panel so no issue there

#

but wait, having changed those to the prescribed EUR/kWh and EUR/m³ the errors still persist....

winter hollow
fiery ledge
#

seems a bug?

winter hollow
#

EUR/kWh should not have device class monetary

fiery ledge
#

ok now you officially lost me 😉 .... the entities used for the tariffs, should be using the EUR/kWh unit, and no device_class?

#

ok error gone, thanks. as you are using the ISO 4217, I guess my request for PR'ing to the € sign is not acceptable? (would be a nice touch though if we could use/see the currency sign/symbol instead of the code in the frontend)

last oar
#

Quick suggestion for you guys. Instead of just saying "turned on by supervisor" in the logs, it would be nice if it said the name of the automation such as "Turned on by automation-motion lights"

karmic tiger
winter hollow
fiery ledge
#

Ha yes, but not on the tariff sensors because of the above requirements..btw, just to be sure: I am not talking about the icon , but about the sign in the unit

is browsermod supposed to work with instances of the Mobile companion app? I created a test button to make a popup, and for some reason it works on the Android app on my phone! ...but it doesn't do anything on my FireHD tablet :/. It DOES work in a browser (Fully Kiosk), but I'd really rather use the app. Does anybody know if there's a trick to making this work?

#

Did I enable a sensor on my phone that lets this work or something?

#

Ah nevermind - in case anyone else is wondering, clearing the data and cache on the android app fixes this. Yay! Mobile App works just like a browser now 🙂

hallow mango
#

@stone plaza just curious about your use case for this? browser mod seems super useful but above my head for what it can do 😅

stone plaza
#

browser mod is just the only plugin that seems to be able to trigger a popup remotely

#

@hallow mango I'm gonna use it to build a doorbell system 🤓

#

basically popping up the doorbell cam on a dedicated tablet when it rings

trail frigate
#

how can i get an !include in my lovelace.yaml ?

#

Use YAML mode

#

Hi, I don't know if I'm posting in the right thread or not but I'd like to follow cover events but they do not appear in the list of available event of dev tools/events.

#

Actually, my covers behave wiredly if I use them from node_red while they work just fine from the cover card

#

i'm wondering if the cover card uses cover.open_cover or cover.open_cover_tilt for instance

dark dirge
#

Those are not events

hallow mango
keen belfry
#

Oh

dark dirge
#

Those are services, and the event is call_service

keen belfry
#

Okay, thanks

dark dirge
keen belfry
#

But this event does not appear in the list of available events of the event listener

dark dirge
#

That doesn’t matter

#

But you’re better off looking at logs

karmic tiger
#

The events down the side are the ones with active listeners. There are many unlisted events.

keen belfry
#

Thanks guys

#

Which is the best thread for covers help, integrations?

dark dirge

Thank you very much. Have a nice evening guys.

Hi there, hope this is the right place. I have noticed that since a recent update when i sue the Picture Entity and try to use Aspect Ration, it is cropping the image instead of constraining it like it used to, any thoughts or fixes?

hazy shard
hallow mango
#

@hazy shard have you tried using initial_view: list?

hazy shard
hallow mango
#

yep, and fwiw I can replicate

#

using listWeek makes it start yesterday (Sunday), but using list makes it start today

#

you know... I think someone else was asking about this

#

oh it was you lmao

#

but it looks like the UI editor for that card says "List" but still fills in listWeek

mild pike
#

does anyone else have any issues with the thermostat buttons taking two presses to do anything? i have an ecobee and if i hit the heat/cool/off buttons on the thermostat card, i have to hit them a second time to get them to take...if i click the three dots and change the mode / temp that way, they stick on the first try

#

it's more that the display doesn't update....if i watch the ecobee app, i can see the mode / temp change on the first press...but the HA display doesn't update

errant plover
#

Wait. The polling interval for the status update is probably 10 sec.

mild pike
#

i have tried that. i'm waiting way longer than 10 sec

#

right now i'm on probably 90 sec or so and it still hasn't changed

#

it did finally update after about 4 or 5 minutes

errant plover
mild pike
#

i had posted there but nobody answered...i'll try there again

errant plover

Be patient. Wait until someone who knows about that integration is around.

ALL web-based apps on iOS uses the safari engine. Including "browsers" like chrome and opera, because Apple...

wind condor
#

yeah makes complete sense, just didn't think about it. Was looking for ways to debug, because of course an app lacks detailed logging. But being able to finally reproduce with mac os safari browser was great 👍

#

After that it was a 2 minute fix 🙂

polar kelp
#

Good. In the few cases the behavior differs, btw, you can attach the macOS Safari console and debugger to your phones Safari if you connect it via USB.

wind condor
#

wow, great tip thanks!

polar kelp
#

It has the added benefit of making you feel like some kind of Hollywood Hacker.

wind condor
#

Hahaha, it does doesn't it. Btw, I could write up something on a quite secure nginx reverse proxy config. (A+ on SSL Labs, A on security headers.com) to add to HA docs if that would be nice?

polar kelp

#

Interesting to see quite some docs there which didn't turn up with searches on duckduckgo or google

hi guys, every 2-3 days i find my lovelace UI is unreachable .... both from dns and from local ip address ... am running home assistant os on rpi 4

#

when i use a ping test to my local ip i do get some response... ssh is also not working

#

any assistance on how can i debug it more?

#

i tried to restart my pi4 physically and looking in home-assistant.log but no luck yet

Is there any trick in making the statistics card work with MQTT sensors?

karmic tiger
#

The tl;dr is that it needs the relevant state_class.

devout perch
#

Thanks. Might be an idea to put it in the card documentation tho, instead of two levels linked into developer documentation.

karmic tiger
#

You're welcome to submit changes to the docs if you have suggestions for improvements.

Hi I've just asked about this in templates but i now have a sensor which has an image url as the state https://hastebin.com/upolalajuz.kotlin so how do i get to see an image in the front end that's loaded from that url? I thought this might be better asked in frontend

devout perch
#

I made the MQTT sensors work by adding a homeassistant: subsection with a state_class: 'measurement' entry per known device entry in zigbee2mqtt's devices.yaml.

#

Just powered up my charger for my EV is there any prebuilt tracker that can pull in local gas prices and convert my electric vs gas mpg and display a ticker of how much I have saved not using gas? Like if it costs me .048 per mile ev vs .10 on gas right now with gas being $3 but have it dynamic based on now gas prices. I want to track my ROI by going electric. I don't really want to build all the templates and such if someone already has one made.

Is it possible to make a picture-entity show the picture with saturation 0.0 without using state_filter? As the state can be so many different value. I want it saturationed 0 all the time.

@hazy shard I made a PR to fix the editor for calendar card and updated the docs to reflect list instead of listWeek 😉

#

i like the new statistics graph, but it doesn't let me aggregate data over multiple days. I'm looking for "ok, over 1 week, what was the average luminosity of the dining room throughout the day?"

#

is there something like that?

karmic tiger
#

Sure, Grafana.

do i need to use influx to get the kind of data i want?

karmic tiger
#

Many people have variations of that kinda stuff. What's your question?

trail frigate
#

i dont get the floorplan displayed and the "all devices" menu is missing, but thats the smaller problem

karmic tiger
#

So...

  • what did you do?
  • what are you seeing?
  • what's in the logs/console?
#

If you don't provide information, no-one can help you fix it.

trail frigate
#

sorry mono , you're right. as soon as i click on the control room/floorplan menu its blank . the other menus are working.
console says something about the config-template-card and the button entity-row.

karmic tiger
#

Keep sharing. Where's your config?

#

Give as much information as needed. If it's not important, people can ignore it. If you withhold it, they have to keep asking you for more.

trail frigate
#

this is my lovelace file

#

its more or less a copy from luke

#

i just changed all the entities

#

just to get a starting point, and then i would adjust the needed stuff

#

no idea ? or did i miss something ?

OMG i found the error. i had light.schreibtisch and light.schreibtisch_lampe in the same definition , now its working , whoop whoop

#

Should the statistics graph card be able to chart negative values? Just to try it out, I'm charting the sun's elevation but the card seems to discard any negative data points, resulting in this: https://i.imgur.com/lIMT1d9.png

#

The underlying sensor's history does indeed have the proper negative values.

errant plover
#

I'm guessing yes it should be able to.

#

Freezer temperature would be a good example where it would be required.

Hi all, i know it's not possible to use an !include as a root option in the configuration.yaml, but i was wondering how you managed merging configurations

trail frigate
#

check this out

steady flare
#

Maybe my question is in the wrong channel, it's not really a Lovelace question. I'm wondering if there was something like the following: instead of using vacuum: !include vacuum.yaml

I want to use the following:
!include vacuum.yaml

And then change the vacuum.yaml with the root node vacuum

#

I want my configuration.yaml as empty as can be, just including other files

polar kelp
#

Oh, have I got the thing for you...

#

Your configuration.yaml could be ```yaml
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named packages

polar kelp

Oh. It was aaaaaaall the way down there...

mild veldt
#

I had a sneaking suspicion 🙂

trail frigate
#

un-indent = remove the "-" right ? sorry i'm a beginner and not native english 🙂

mild veldt
#

do you want this glance card inside your picture-elements card?

#

or do you just want it on the page?

trail frigate
#

i just want the glance card on the right side instead of the weather card, and later i want to add 2 other glance cards ( last ring / last motion )

mild veldt
#

try changing it to custom:hui-picture-glance-card

trail frigate
#

no luck 😦

polar kelp
#

What exactly does "not working" mean?

mild veldt
#

i.e. you're trying to do something that is not supported and therefore will have to use workarounds that will potentially break later on

trail frigate
#

okay i think it has something todo with lazy loading, yes. some strange things happening here ^^
on the left is my result after a page refresh. but when i click on "geräte/devices" (homekit-cards) and click on my camera to make it bigger and get back to "haustür/frontdoor" i see it as i want it, (right side on the screenshot)
https://ibb.co/Dt5Py3j

mild veldt
#

yes, use Thomas' plugin

#

that should pre-load the card for you

#

thanks guys, that helped

torn kernel
#

I have a question and not sure if this is the right channel...but if I wanted query the source_list of a media player how would I do that with the websocket api or is that a rest api thing? I'm trying to programmatically select sources by having different buttons for them on my custom front end

karmic tiger
#

Why would you need REST or WS to get something HA already knows?

torn kernel
#

because I'm not using HA

#

I'm using my own front end

#

written with openFrameworks

#

interfacing with HA through REST api and Websockets

karmic tiger
#

You should've led with that.

torn kernel
#

'I'm trying to programmatically select sources by having different buttons for them on my custom front end'

karmic tiger
#

Most people would consider their Lovelace frontends 'custom'. But to answer your question... you can possibly get that information from the registry but it's not a topic for this channel. #general-archived is probably best.

torn kernel
#

k

#

how does lovelace do it?

karmic tiger
#

The code's public if you want to see how. I would guess websockets.

torn kernel
#

yeah I've been searching on the github but haven't found the spot

#

'states.media_player.entity_id.attributes.source_list'

#

so is in the states

karmic tiger
#

Sure... which can be retrieved via REST or WS... take this to #general-archived please.

tame shale
#

why is making a complex interface require you to be a programmer

#

I mean I want to make a view that has three cards

#

and then below it I want another three cards on the same row to span all three

#

like fixed height - like a legit grid

#

but this nesting bullshit is killing me

mild veldt
#

Just do a grid card in a panel view. e.g.

title: Home Assistant
views:
  - icon: hass:home-assistant
    id: home
    title: Home
    panel: true
    cards:
      - type: grid
        cards:
          - type: thermostat
            entity: climate.upstairs
          - type: thermostat
            entity: climate.upstairs
#

etc

if only there was an easy way to make a single dashboard look good on both mobile and desktop (or portrait/landscape)

shut sable
# tame shale I mean I want to make a view that has three cards

It's pretty easy to do a grid just fill it with buttons so you get the layout you want and then you start replacing the buttons with the panels you made with your intended content and less is more only have what needs to be on a page and use nav buttons ... it's probably a cluttered page if you have to scroll the content

Hi. I'm trying to create a history graph of device network traffic. I already have the history graph for this but want to flip the download to use negative values such that the download graph line is below the X axis. Is there a way to template this in the card or do I have to create a template sensor like download_negative?

tame shale
karmic tiger
#

It's... easy.

#

There are lots of examples that other people have shared if you want a template to copy from.

tame shale
#

where?

#

I love inspiration

#

since i have none

karmic tiger
#

Sure. Here, the forums, Google.

#

But you've been given a solution to your immediate question already. Grid card makes it simple to achieve what you want.

tame shale
#

teag

#

yeah can you merge columns?

#

in one row?

#

the problem with grids besides what I just asked is that you have make card on card on cards. Its complex - unnecessarily

karmic tiger
#

Except it's not unnecessary. How else do you define nested layouts?

tame shale
#

it shouldn't require recoding

karmic tiger
#

Try drawing a wireframe of your intended layout without having boxes inside other boxes.

tame shale
#

i understand and agree in theory it makes sense

#

working with that layout - is complex

karmic tiger
#

Sure...

tame shale
#

you can't easily extract cards without reformating txt

#

its ok

#

we don't have to agree

#

perhaps its just easier for you

karmic tiger
#

Of course you can. Use YAML anchors.

tame shale
#

and I was / am reaching my boiling point

#

well

#

don't know what that is exactly?

karmic tiger
#

Fortunately, Google knows everything, you just have to ask it.

tame shale
#

who is mono

#

thats what google said

#

holy F

#

you can use anchors?

karmic tiger
#

In YAML mode, sure. Just don't complain that you have to edit text 😉

tame shale
#

you gotta edit text too

#

🤦‍♂️

#

🙂

#

thanks for the help

#

its appreciated

karmic tiger
#

Well, yes... either settle for Lovelace-generated stuff or go full YAML.

#

Both have their advantages.

tame shale
#

I don't know what I use now - probably lovelace generated

#

theres not a good set of demo sites btw

#

like a gallery of them

#

here, forums and reddit isn't great

#

i promise 😉

hallow mango
#

that's true ^ googling around for Lovelace examples/inspiration usually gets a few of the same posts, which are either a few pictures with no explanation or an entire HA config, which looks nice, but is very difficult to adapt to your own

#

@tame shale if you don't wanna edit yaml, you probably shouldn't use HA 😅

im not arguing here -

#

it might sound like I am

#

🙂

hallow mango
#

ah nested grids

tame shale
#

right - in that example on the youtube he clearly combined cells if we talk like we are in excel 🙂

#

but then nesting just adds to the super level of complexity.

#

its not like its hard its just daunting and when you want to change something its like holy crap get out my miners cap and light and we can dig in 🙂

#

I am looking for a really good interface for my house - obviously

mild veldt
hallow mango
tame shale
#

right i figured he did

hallow mango
#

not combined like excel

#

@mild veldt I didn't realize that was a thing 🤔 hasn't been touched in 9 months though almost lol

hallow mango
#

you actually wouldn't even need the grid there, because they're all in a row, you could just use a horizontal-stack. nice thing about the grid is it makes them square, if that's the look you want

#

I don't really use the "grid card in panel mode" approach because it doesn't scale well from desktop to mobile

mild veldt
hallow mango
#

agreed

I'd seen his video on the drag and drop but I didn't realize it was a card he made

Hi there, hope this is the right place. I have noticed that since a recent update when i sue the Picture Entity and try to use Aspect Ration, it is cropping the image instead of constraining it like it used to, any thoughts or fixes?

Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong here? My sensor just keeps the deviceID instead of changing the name to chrome...

  devices:
    f4b98f26-a979xxxx:

hallow mango
tropic yew
#

@hallow mango maybe someone could test square image and set the ration to 16:9 to see if it it is doing the same thing? I dont know how to put it to the developers as a bug

hallow mango

there's a bit about changing deviceid

#

@tropic yew I do have the same thing

#

I noticed it the other day

sly pulsar
hallow mango
#

ah, not sure then

#

I haven't used browser mod

sly pulsar
#

Hope anyone can see whats wrong in my config. 🙂

hallow mango
#

well your config looks right

#

I think the device id doesn't change to chrome

#

that's just an alias

sly pulsar
#

testing another name. 🙂

hallow mango
#

what's not working? why do you need to change the device id?

tropic yew
sly pulsar
#

Changed to another name but it still shows sensor.xxxxx_xxxxx instead of sensor.chrome etc...

hallow mango
#

so change the entity id

sly pulsar
#

Will that work you think?

hallow mango
#

yeah

sly pulsar
#

Testing...

#

Entity is changed indeed but now i still need to use the device_id to get it working in my lovelace, but maybe that's normal behaviour...

tame shale
#

can you filter by entity type in auto-entities?

#

media_player. ?

#

domain:

#
  • domain: 'media_player'
#

  type: entities
filter:
  include:
    - state: unavailable
  exclude:

    - domain: 'media_player'
show_empty: false
type: custom:auto-entities```
karmic tiger
#

filter:
template: A jinja2 template evaluating to a list of entries to include

#

Use a filter.

#

Templates are more powerful than just giving globs.

tame shale
#

yeah I don't know how what when or where

#

but that doesn't work the domain:

hallow mango
#

yeah you can include where entity id is media_player.*

hallow mango
sly pulsar
#

Yep that’s true. Also tried my name but same problem. The entity just keeps the ID, so sensor.xxxxx_xxxxx

hallow mango
#

you change the entity id to whatever you want

#

i added browser mod in hacs, restarted, added the browser_mod: line in my config, restarted, then looked for the entities (in order to find my device id), and then added the alias lines to my config before restarting once more

#

the entity ids didn't change by themselves, but the device name did

#

and actually, changing the device name (with the little pencil) will automatically offer to change the entities to match

#

after that, i can call services using either the alias or the device id

Hi guys ! I'm kind of getting crazy with home assistant. Quick sum up : I've got a tech background, I have been trying HA for a few months but it keep "dying" after a few days and last words are : "Unable to connect to Home Assistant.". It get me crazy because I love it, setup was a piece of cake, and I've been able to add my NAS, my TV, my Nest things, my 50 shellys, and many other. I've set up mariaDB, Graphana, Samba Backup, a reverse proxy on my NAS to reach it from outside, SSL, double auth... At first I build it as a virtual machine on my Synology. But when it die, I'm stuck outside of it : no samba/ssh or anything. So I bought a NUC, thinking that at least, I would be able to plugin a screen and a keyboard to investigate it. I get it back online with a backup and it runs for several days... but now I'm stuck outside again with a nice "Unable to connect to Home Assistant.". Any help would be gladly appreciated to understand how such a thing can happen. I'm still able to access the command line with a good old keyboard and screen.

#

(sorry for the wrong spelling, english isn't my first language, I'm trying my best 🙂 )

karmic tiger
#

Unable to connect to Home Assistant
How are you trying to connect? Locally? From the internet? HTTP or HTTPS?

eternal geyser
#

HTTPS, with the local ip address or the outside url

karmic tiger
#

And when it stops, the IP address doesn't work?

#

From the link you just shared privately, it looks like the problem could be with your reverse proxy. What happens when you try the internal IP?

eternal geyser
#

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

#

So the local IP address doesn't work

#

It's interesting because I get different result through the outside url and the internal IP address

karmic tiger
#

Timed out is weird...

eternal geyser
#

Which is confusing because I would think that I would be bypassing the reverse proxy with internal IP

karmic tiger
#

.share the http section of your configuration.yaml

kind shellBOT
eternal geyser
#

How can I reach it through command line ? I tried basic linux commands (cd, ls, less, cat...) but it doesn't work

#

I have the "ha >" prompt

#

Wait, I just realised that I have it in samba backup

karmic tiger
#

You could check the logs to see if you were IP banned. The rest looks okay.

how can i make the "homekit-card" more or less responsive ? or that button-cards get smaller or i don't know, i need a good idea 🙂

left = how it should be / right = on a small device, problem.
https://ibb.co/GRSGwL9

karmic tiger
#

More responsive how? How would you prefer they look?

trail frigate
#

it would be great, if i can use the same layout on an iphone (landscape mode) , but just smaller, or i don't know, need a good idea here

karmic tiger
#

The problem with making things smaller is that you can't just scale everything. If you made everything 50% of the size, the text would also be tiny.

#

Desktop and mobile often have very different designs for the same site, simply because of the way they're used.

trail frigate
#

yeah, but better tiny, than not useable or so

karmic tiger
#

A lot of people end up with a mobile dash and a desktop dash.

yeah, i think i will go the same route

There are probably lots of good examples on the forums.

Good morning - not sure if this is the right channel: I can't cast to a Nest Hub. Casting the same lovelace view to a Chromecast (attached to my TV) works. But a service call to cast to the Hub completes without errors yet the Hub stays on the current slideshow. Casting audio works. Any ideas?

Hi, having an issue. I got a battery powered sensor, over mqtt, so it's only sending a state every 30 minutes or so. But in the dashboard, it appears as "unavailable", just want it to show the latest state, as i got 'last updated' as secondary info. How to achieve this?

Can anyone tell me how the arranging of the cards work in HA? I'm always fighting with the order as by clicking the arrow the card jumps to all places. Really can't figure it out.

karmic tiger
#

It's a long vertical list, and Lovelace will decide where to break it up into a new column depending on your current screen size.

opal jacinth
#

anyway to decide myself where it should be situated?

karmic tiger
#

There are a few options. The grid card allows you to nest a bunch of stuff inside it in... a grid. You can also do combinations of vertical/horizontal stack cards for a similar effect.

#

For both methods, you'll likely want to set your dashboard to panel mode - it'll only present one card, but you're going to be nesting everything within that card anyway.

#

I've done that just to have a tidy grid for mobile views.

opal jacinth
#

Ok, going to look into it. Thanks mono.

karmic tiger
#

I'd highly recommend browsing through the Lovelace section of the forums for ideas. If you see something you like, people usually share their code for the dashboards.

#

You can't just copy/paste it in one go, since you'll have different entities... but it'll give you an idea how they achieve certain looks.

sly pulsar

Hi @polar kelp, are you aware that a label template inside a custom: button-card stops working with browser_mod. Just tested it multiple times and it works fine for the normal card but as soon i add this card to a browser_mod popup it's no longer working. The label just stays the same no matter the light is on/off. Do i need to open een issue on github or are you already aware that this issue exacists. Thx in advance

karmic tiger
#

You sure it's not your invalid YAML? 🤔

    service_data:
      card:
        entity: light.all_lights
        type: vertical-stack```
#

That's not a valid option for a vertical stack.

#

And there's no need to ping the authors of cards and integrations here. If you think there's an issue, raise it on GitHub.

sly pulsar
#

I already fixed that issue, i was using the browser_mod wrong i guess. It was working for some cards but not for others, now it works for all cards i'm using browser_mod.

Is there a way to disable at the card level, the popup display of entity history data? Want history for the sensor to be recorded, but some users just aren't interested in that information and find having to close the popup they didnt want and accidently openned a negative experience. It is particularly easy to accidently access this history information when using the swipe-card and just navigating between cards.

dark dirge
#

I think only if there's a tap_action that you can set to none

modest sable
#

Thanks RobC, but if the entity is say a light switch wont the control action be disabled as well?

that has no tap_action at all

I don't think there's a general way to prevent the "more info" dialog from appearing

The character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the file needs to be declared in the transfer protocol or file needs to use a byte order mark as an encoding signature.

Does there exist a card like the conditional card that would let me show a card based on an attribute? IE: I only want to show a media_player if the source = spotify

karmic tiger

Not a built-in card, no. A simple workaround would be to create a template sensor that exposes that attribute as a state.

#

Note: Jinja2 templating is not cheap. Avoid it for simple things that can be solved with just an entity.

Hi all - if you're working with lovelace in the UI is it possible to use !includes? Looking through the forum it seems that this is only possible if you work in 'yaml' mode rather than through the UI. When I try to save my 'raw config' from within the UI with a yaml include pointing to another file (custom button templates) it throws an error saying it doesnt recognise !include. Is this just expected behaviour?

#

I know you can use resources - but that only seems to be for css or js?

You have the answer already. Advanced YAML syntax is only available in YAML mode.

"..family member access to just one specific device", with device you mean (a) allow them to control only one HA device/entity? or (b) access HA from a specific device?

If (a): Kind of, you can limit access to dashboards/views, but as far as I know, you can't prohibit access to the sidebar (without using kiosk mode, but if your user is handy, they'll change the URL and then the sidebar shows anyway).

  1. Create a user for that purpose
  2. Limit the visibility on all view except the one you want them to see
  3. Done

If you're new to this, I'd suggest spending some time learning how the different data structures are used in YAML:

YAML is the mark up language used by Home Assistant, consistent indenting (two spaces per level) is key. Here is a primer, and this explains multi-line templates. For validating YAML see YAML Lint.

when i tried adding it into the group.yaml before, i had it start without any indenting and it gave me an error

It can be a little confusing at first if you're not used to what it represents, and it's not forgiving if you get the syntax wrong.

Once you know the basics, everything else gets simpler.

i attempted to customize, it told me my yaml file didnt include a "include customize.yaml" line, so i went to add it, and now when i check configuration its saying "Component error: customize - Integration 'customize' not found."

#

even though i do have a customize.yaml file

# 
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
customize: !include customize.yaml```
#

i assume im just supposed to type it the same way as the others

#

i got it, apparently it wasnt supposed to go under that same group. man this stuff is confusing

# 
  icon: hass:wifi
  color: #ffffff```
#

this is what i have, it changed the symbol but not the color

hallow mango
#

yeah you can't change color like that

limber bough
#

so is there a way to change the color of the icon?

dark dirge
#

probably with card_mod

limber bough
#

so why did i just go through all of that to add the device to a group

hallow mango
#

@limber bough their theme uses yellow as the "accent color"

#

or whatever

#

everything thats yellow is "on"

limber bough
#

so with the device tracker, its either "home" or "away". so if i leave the house, it should go back to being white?

#

mine is currently on my accent color

hallow mango
#

uhh, not exactly

#

my device trackers aren't "on" when they're home, "off" when they're away

#

actually my device tracker group is

#

just not the trackers themselves

limber bough
#

well i now have a group, so how would i go about making the on/off home/away connection?

#

ok i turned my wifi off and it updated and now its white, so i guess my group automatically knows

hallow mango
#

yeah

#

I'm not sure why it "just works" with groups

karmic tiger
mild veldt
#

I linked the file earlier which dictates why that works, you'll see that "group" with a state of "home" is active

trail frigate
#

how can i make the state/value in a different color then the name/text ? can't find the correct css

try deleting home-assistant_v2.db

your history will get lost if you do that ^

and I'd probably down the server, delete that, and then restart

Thanks will give that a shot

hello I am trying to get a background to load in my HA lovelace dashboard. I am running HA on ubuntu / docker. My configuration.yaml and themes.yaml are setup as follows:

#

In configuration.yaml:

frontend:
javascript_version: latest
themes: !include themes.yaml

In themes.yaml:

title: Home
views:
background: center / cover no-repeat url("/local/dashboard_background.jpg") fixed

#

My background is in:
config/www

The actual directory on my machine is /home/my_user_name/homeassistant/config/www

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? The background won’t show up

Hey guys, i've been trying to set up a dashboard recently. It took me a while but i ended up with something i like, the problem is that it feels super slow to load

#

i've tried it on a 4 Year old Imac (super slow to load and react), a top of the spec pc (5900x , 2080 ti), but even if it's better, it is still slugish

#

Is it a know problem, or am i doing somethign wrong?

#

Btw, the rest of the Home assitant app is extremly responsive, no issue with that, only with this dashboard

Hi there, I cant find answer to my question. I use apexcharts-card by RomRider to show a graph over some temperatures. But have a wierd greyed vertical line that shows up some time and sometime multiple lines. Anyone know what it is? https://snipboard.io/6GVLrI.jpg

Hey there,

i hope i am in the right channel for my question 😉

This is my configuraiton.yaml:
https://pastebin.com/3w6cmAKg

For sadness i get an error message Invalid config for [lovelace]: [resources] is an invalid option for [lovelace]. Check: lovelace->lovelace->dashboards->lovelace-yaml->resources.

#

Could you guys give me a hint, where my error is?

copper mural
#

@distant lagoon Thanks, I totally missed that. 🙂

#

@vapid field Whats inside lovelace/resources/resources.yaml ?

polar kelp
#

resources is not a per-dashboard setting. It should go directly under lovelace.

vapid field
#

Thank you! Looks like it was that easy 😉

#

hmmm. now i get a warning Lovelace is running in storage mode. Define resources via user interface and the menu entryies on the left side are all gone ...
could i ignore the warning?

copper mural
#

Press the 3 dots, and edit UI, then the 3 dots again and edit resources.

trail frigate
#

get in Dev.Tool > Services > Refresh Theme

violet axle
#

is not shell_command available in the UI while making scripts ?

polar kelp
#

If you have setup a shell script entity it will be available to run as a service call.

violet axle
#

I see, thnx for quick reply Thomas!

#

But I might going about this the wrong way. I've got one of them rpi 3+ so it only got wifi; I want to turn it off using cmd (ssh). Do I use script or make an automation out of it, because there is no on argument really, that is handeled by another entity. Suppose there is no way in the ui to create a custom switch?

polar kelp
#

Only binary input, but that's not quite the same thing.

violet axle
#

then I send cmd to power off; I want there to be 30sec delay before it powers of the socket it's attached too. Cause I dont want a toggle. I dont really want a toggle, it's for 3d-printer and it's lots of stuff I want to turn off when it shutdowns. I did solve it like this: created binary sensor with ping to monitor the device, created a custom switch, with the quirk of it becoming a toggle (despite only one cmd). Made an automation that when binary sensor when off, it waits 1min and then turns off the socket.

I am so dumb, I forgot where the resources section is in lovelace UI. Where did it go?

#

Suggestion of best temp/humidity-card? 🙂 Thinking of vertical-stack

karmic tiger
#

There is no 'best'. But you could look at what other people have done and copy from their configs.

violet axle
#

Great answers as usual, thnx!

hallow mango
#

can share my configs in a bit, but I have two temp/humidity sensors, so I use two of those cards in a stack: one for both temps, one for both humidities

#

Works fine for a custom:button-card. I checked the state with Chrome dev tools from the custom:auto-entities card and it seems correct.

haha fair enough

trail frigate

i created a layout card but the map card isn't working there. "unknown type: map" i also tried custom:hui-map without success

hallow mango
#

share your card yaml

trail frigate
hallow mango
#

indented too far

#

it's trying to use it as an entity in the entities card

#

instead of a card in the layout card

#

hey folks, i've been troubleshooting this for a while, but I must miss something. many times when navigating to myurl.com/lovelace, my default dashboard (YAML) won't show up in the sidebar. navigating to /lovelace/overview shows the correct dashboard. any pointers?

sly pulsar
# trail frigate thanks dr. but still not lucky

I experimented allot with browser_mod and indeed some cards just don’t work which works fine as standalone or in another simpler card. If there are to many types defined it seems to read the output wrong.

trail frigate
#

maybe that helps

warm seal
trail frigate
#

i mean that you select your preffered lovelace

warm seal
#

i can do that, but still I want the default dashboard to show up in the sidebar. for the default one (in YAML mode) there's no option to hide it even

sly pulsar
#

If you set another dashboard as default it will automatically hide the default Lovelace.

trail frigate
#

my overview/standard lovelace isn't in the sidebar as well, because i made a custom lovelace and now it uses this instead. check settings > lovelace dashboards. just create a new lovelace which is controlled by HA

warm seal
#

ah I didn't know that it would actually hide the default. that's a top tip thank you

trail frigate
hallow mango
#

put another - ...: entry under exclude

trail frigate
hallow mango
#

remove it from the filter

#

and remove the method: state

#

since you're trying to sort them not by their state, but by an attribute

trail frigate
#

no luck 😦

hallow mango
#

hmm, worked for me

#

I just copied your snippet into a card and made those changes

#

showed any entities I have with battery_level as an attribute, sorted in descending order

trail frigate
#

could you share the code ?

robust fern
#

Hi all , I'm struggling to figure out how to call up the main stream when I click on the sub stream of my cameras in the dashboard. Is it a service ?

hallow mango
#

like i said, remove the sorting from the filter, and remove method: state

trail frigate
hallow mango
#

using same code i just sent?

trail frigate
#

yeah just copied your code

hallow mango
#

hmm

trail frigate
#

the picture is the result

hallow mango
#

that's odd

hallow mango
#

obv clicking the sub stream is going to bring up the sub stream

#

@trail frigate actually i think it's not really working for me either

#

i can't reverse them

trail frigate
#

strange

hallow mango
#

aha

robust fern
# hallow mango you'll need camera entities of the main stream

Yub I have all my sub feeds working well and my main feeds are available entities but I don't want to use them as the live view on the dashboard so I want to set the "tap" action in the card to open the main stream just can't figure out how to do that

hallow mango
#

@trail frigate use this as your sort block:

sort:
  method: attribute
  attribute: battery_level
  reverse: true
  numeric: true
#

need to sort them by attribute (duh if we thought about it)

trail frigate
#

i love you ❤️

#

works

hallow mango
#

i usually have the < flipped the other way though (to exclude batteries over 25%)

#

and it is show_empty: false, so it only shows me batteries which are low, when they're low

trail frigate
#

ahh nice, thanks!

hallow mango
#

just a different alternative 😉

trail frigate
hallow mango
#

get rid of which?

trail frigate
#

ok i got rid of the state and icon ones, but those from the mobile app are still here

#

the two "Batterie (2)"

#

they are coming from the mobile app

hallow mango
#

well you could exclude them by entity id

trail frigate
#

i tried this ```

  • name: entity_id
    value: '*- Batterie (2)' ```
#

ahh now

#

its battery_state_2

#

thanks for the great help dr.!

hallow mango
#

👍

#

i'm trying to figure out how to add a tap_action that will open traces for that automation

trail frigate
#

yeah thats something on the list as well

hallow mango
#

so that card works ^

#

i'm trying to add this to the entity options: passed via my filter:

          tap_action:
            action: navigate
            navigation_path: /config/automation/trace/{{ this.entity_id.split('.')[-1] }}
#

but the url i get ends up looking like: http://192.168.1.226:8123/config/automation/trace/%7B%7B%20automation.sunrise_2.split('.')[-1]%20%7D%7D

#

which is obviously not right lol

#

it's filling this.entity_id correctly, but not evaluating the template as i was hoping it would

#

so i took to custom:card-templater:

type: custom:card-templater
card:
... # <-- the rest of my card, indented
#

and then changed the following:

...
          tap_action:
            action: navigate
            navigation_path_template: /config/automation/trace/{{ this.entity_id.split('.')[-1] }}
...
#

but since there is no navigation_path: field, it just fills my url as: http://192.168.1.226:8123/config/automation/trace/-

#

which again, not as expected

trail frigate
#

man, if i could i would help

hallow mango
#

well, that's ok

#

i really think changing it to navigation_path_template: should do it

#

as per the card-templater docs:

The card option will accept any card configration. Any option in the original card which takes a string value can be templated by changing the option name to be option_name_template. For example, name will become name_template. Here is an example:

#

i was also able to get http://192.168.1.226:8123/config/automation/trace/Error! by adding

entities:
  - this.entity_id

to the card-templater bits 😅

#

anyone else know how i can template the navigation path of a tap action?

The "custom:state-switch" loads fine on my desktop, but the home assistant app or mobile browsers (Safari or Google Chrome) on my tablets keeps complaining that the element doesn't exist!

That's way too little information to tell anything about what you're doing. And auto-entities doesn't have a background.

is there a way we can have the new 'number' entity show up as a slider instead of the box? - entity: number.hall_default_volume_7 name: Siren volume

fiery ledge
hallow mango
#

uhh, not sure if that is what i mean

fiery ledge
#

mind you, thats on a custom:button-card

hallow mango
fiery ledge
#

maybe more like this then: include: - group: group.github_repos_in_use options: &github_options tap_action: action: more-info hold_action: | { 'action': 'url', "url_path": "{{state_attr(config.entity,'latest_release_url')}}" }

#

on an auto-entities card

hallow mango
#

ohh i can try that

#

no, i don't think that's it either

# 
          tap_action: |
            {
              "action": "navigate",
              "navigation_path": "/config/automation/trace/{{ this.entity_id.split('.')[-1] }}"
            }

just does nothing on tap

fiery ledge
#

what does inspector say?

hallow mango
#

uhh

#

idk where to look for that

fiery ledge
#

btw do you get the %20 's inserted there? there is a service to get those out, but I forget where it is 😉 urlify or something. I am sure the good people here know what I mean

fiery ledge
hallow mango
hallow mango
#

just nothing happens when i tap

fiery ledge
#

btw, why the [-1]? you need the object_id of the automation which is split('.')[1]

hallow mango
#

ah good call

#

it gets me the right id

fiery ledge
#

and then replace any %20 with _ so replace('%20','_') and capitalize the first character 😉

hallow mango
fiery ledge
#

dk why this formats so odd now

hallow mango
#

it doesn't parse the template at all

fiery ledge
#

did you change to config.entity ?

hallow mango
#

oh, no...

#

i didn't realize that

#

this.entity_id works, as per auto-entities docs

hallow mango
#

it just doesn't parse the rest of the template

#

where does config.entity come from?

#

ok well same deal

fiery ledge
#

hmm, its been a long time... I only use this.entity_id in my multiple-entity-row cards. In auto-entities and template-entity-row I always use config.entity... (hope none of that has changed lately)

hallow mango
#

changing to config.entity fills the entity_id correctly, but the template doesn't get parsed

#

actually no

#

not sure why it worked once

#

but this.entity_id is what i need here

#

that definitely fills the entity id correctly

fiery ledge
#

using secondary: > {{config.entity.split('.')[1]}} on my entities show the correct object_id here, so if its not retrurning what you seek, it must be another part of your template being incorrect

hallow mango
#

my template isn't ever parsed 🤦‍♀️

fiery ledge
#

{{this.entity_id.split('.')[1]}} returns nothing......

hallow mango
#

for me that returns %7B%7B%20automation.add_to_shopping_list.split('.')[-1]%20%7D%7D

#

lol

#

the template is just used as a string, symbols and all

#

oh i didn't change the -1 -> 1

fiery ledge
#

I remember seeing something like that before the template-entity-row was updated.... are you using that, and did you update to the latest?

hallow mango
#

but doesn't make a difference

#

i'm not using template-entity-row

#

i didn't know that was a thing lol

tacit cave
#

according to the docs, config or this don't exist.

#

meaning, you have to hardcode the template with the entity_id

#

there's a whole section letting you know what variables exist in the namespace and config or this are not listed.

hallow mango
#

and custom:auto-entities fills this.entity_id

#

like i said, that fills correctly

#

but the template isn't evaluated

hallow mango
tacit cave
#

put your whole path in the template

hallow mango
#

so using this as the template: {{ '/config/automation/trace/' + this.entity_id.split('.')[1] }}

#

gives me http://192.168.1.226:8123/lovelace-testing/%7B%7B%20'/config/automation/trace/'%20+%20automation.sunrise_2.split('.')[1]%20%7D%7D

tacit cave
#

Then the template card doesn't see the field

#

you wrapped it in quotes though, right?

hallow mango
#

i used > to fold it to next row

tacit cave
#

then the card is failing to template it

#

%7B%7B%20 is {{ in browser path speak

hallow mango
#

yeah, exactly

hallow mango
#

i followed up just after that one

#

i've been over all this stuff already

#

sounds like the card just won't do it

tacit cave
#

right, but that means the error is in the template card

fiery ledge
#

what happens if you hard code a view?, does it navigate at all?

# 
            hold_action:
              action: navigate
              navigation_path: "https://mydomain/lovelace/home"
#

does work here

hallow mango
#

yeah, those work fine

#

looks like this has been hashed over before though, with no real solution i can see

hallow mango
fiery ledge
#

as said, maybe you can configure it with template-entity-row, which had the same issue before, and now navigates fine

hallow mango
#

template-entity-row appears to not really act the same as a normal entity row though as well

#

for example, using secondary_info: last-triggered

#

displays something like 1 hour ago in a normal row

#

whereas using secondary: "{{ state_attr(config.entity, 'last_triggered') }}"

#

returns a timestamp, which is kind of annoying

#

and icons don't get state coloring the way a normal entity row does

tacit cave
#

because you shouldn't be templating it...

#

you should still have secondary_info: last-triggered

vestal elm
#

Hey, I've made a seperate yaml dashboard for HA floorplan, I'm trying to reference the resource in config.yaml (https://www.codepile.net/pile/a5G2o180) but the config checker is saying that it is invalid, could anyone let me know what i'm doing wrong please?

hallow mango
#

i tried that

#

just nothing goes in the secondary info

#

and if i use secondary: last-triggered, i get the string "last-triggered" lol

fiery ledge
#

until that time, have it point to https://yourdomain/config/automation/dashboard 🙂

hallow mango
#

yeah...

#

if there was a link to traces on the more info, that would be fine too

#

but there isn't lol

fiery ledge
#

and file a FR at the auto-entities repo ...

tacit cave
#

whelp, then you're sol

fiery ledge
#

btw, Ive just tested it with T-e-r, and see the same issue we had before with url/url_path, (the template is evaluated alright, but with all additional characters) so maybe there's still something to be fixed in the card on that matter too. Id seriously suggest to add that to the repo's for auto-entities and template-entity-row, because it would be a very useful addition

vestal elm
hallow mango
#

i did get the template to work with template-entity-row, and open the right page

#

just other things about that row that i didn't like

fiery ledge
hallow mango
#

umm lemme fix it

#

i rolled it back

#

i may just use that with some changes to my idea of what the card should look like

fiery ledge
#

yes, that works. thast is to say, it creates a correct template an url path. however, it doesnt reach the correct endpoint... when selecting an automation via the UI, I see the capitalized first character and the %20 replacing the underscore.... how odd is that, never realized the UI does that

#

that might even be considered a bug?

#

it targets config's the friendly_name. use this and it's perfect```
hold_action: |
{
"action": "navigate",
"navigation_path": "/config/automation/trace/{{ state_attr(config.entity,'friendly_name') }}"
}

#

now we got that fixed: back to the 'number' in the frontend, how to set that to a slider..

hallow mango
#

looks to me like it should be using the entity id without leading domain

#

and works for me now

fiery ledge
#

mmm, that seems unlikely, do you really see the automation loaded, or simply the 'no traces'

hallow mango
#

it really loads the trace page for automations which have traces

#

works in chrome and mobile app (android)

fiery ledge
#

how odd, cant make that happen with config.entity alone, I was triggered to enter the friendly_name, because when hovering the automations icon on the right side of the automation dashboard, the statusbar shows the url it uses. In my config, that is not the entity_id, but the friendly_name..

hallow mango
#

hmm that's interesting

#

I just went to the trace page and looked at the URL there

#

had entity id

fiery ledge
#

maybe you dont have names set for the automations?

hallow mango
#

yeah, I do

fiery ledge
#

o well, how peculiar. if you need a last-triggered substitute:``` toggle: true
secondary: >
{% if state_attr(config.entity,'last_triggered') %}
{{relative_time(state_attr(config.entity,'last_triggered'))}} ago
{% else %} Never triggered
{% endif %}

hallow mango
#

ah sweet

#

yep that's perfect

karmic tiger
#

drinfernoo:

filter:
template: A jinja2 template evaluating to a list of entries to include

hallow mango
#

right

#

got that covered

karmic tiger
#

It's quite clear that the template goes under template:. What you shared before looks nothing like that.

hallow mango
# 
{{ states.automation
 | rejectattr('attributes.last_triggered', 'eq', none)
 | selectattr('attributes.last_triggered', '<', now()-timedelta(minutes=5))
 | map(attribute='entity_id')
 | list }}
#

hang on

# 
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: Recent Automations
  show_header_toggle: false
  state_color: true
filter:
  template: >-
    {{ states.automation
     | rejectattr('attributes.last_triggered', 'eq', none)
     | selectattr('attributes.last_triggered', '<', now()-timedelta(minutes=5))
     | map(attribute='entity_id')
     | list }}
#

which works fine if i'm using a normal include: filter

#

but not with template

karmic tiger
#

Gotcha. No idea 😄

hallow mango
#

right lol

#

no biggie i suppose

#

was just hoping to get this the way i wanted

#

Yeah, don't ping people...

I haven't looked at the code, but have you tried doing something like this?

  template: <your template>
  include:
    - options:
        secondary_info: last-changed```
#

It seems to allow missing fields in the include, else this example would break:
include: [{}]

#

That's a list of a single object with no keys.

Options doesn't work with template

The trick is to have the template return complete entity setups instead of just a list of ids.
