just copy the full yaml from the "raw configuration editor"

weak hatch
#

But that would just give me json, I would like to keep track of yaml, which would help me get back to a previous configuration easily.

I am tired of saving cards templates that I "might need" in the future in a separate view 😦

#

Also,

It worked 😄

hallow mango
#

the raw configuration editor is in yaml, not json

I just love this community ❤️

Im not home atm, but is there a way to limit my wife to only seeing the dash oard i set for her?

Thx, ill try that when i get home

the other option is to create a separate dashboard and set it as the default for her

I'm trying to make a custom panel but with vue.js, for testing purposes I'm running a local server and connecting it to the panel, the panel keeps reloading/blinking endlessly. Anyone have a good solution for this ? Can't find anything on google.

configuration.yaml

    sidebar_title: Vue Panel module
    sidebar_icon: mdi:vuejs
    url_path: vue-panel-2
    module_url: http://0.0.0.0:3000/main.js
    require_admin: false
    trust_external_script: true
    config:
      name: Test

main.js (using vue and vite.js)

import Custom from './components/Custom.ce.vue';
const CustomComponent = defineCustomElement(Custom);
customElements.define('vue-panel', CustomComponent);```

Error message in console:

any one has any clue as to why my I am suddenly getting Entity not available: sensor.nextsunrise and nextsunset ?

short Q and prob in the wrong place again

i have a simple svg file as my floorplan and using inkscape to draw it up

the outcome in HA is about half to small as i want it, but i know inkscape has the right room messurements,

so i want HA just to scale up, can that be done?

If it is the only card in the view, are you running in panel mode?

I'm getting Custom element does not exist only when trying to cast a view to my Nest Hub. It does not happen when accessing my instance directly. I have SSL/DNS set up correctly using Duck DNS. Any ideas on how to fix this?

polar kelp
#

Cast is a lot more picky about what it allows than the default interface. Custom cards need to be more or less built specifically for cast.

#

Which one is it? Layout-card?

stray mauve
#

Does the fact that I'm referencing Lit from unpkg have any bearing?

polar kelp
#

That may be it.

#

Unfortuantely it's a real pain to debug things in cast too...

stray mauve
#

Is there a best practice way to reference Lit?

#

I notice that the default light card is slow to respond to tap actions, as it appears to freeze until the light is fully on (which can take a few seconds for some lights). Is there a way to have the UI immediately respond without forcing 0 second transition on the lights?

stray mauve
#

Also has a slot mixin allowing you to define custom cards with slots that define children from the outside.

rigid pebble
#

Interesting. I am a little lost at first glance but I'll figure it out as long as I have somewhere to start. Thanks!!

#

I worried about that at first too, and found a way to extract a reference to LitElement and some helper functions from the prototype of some built-in elements. But Lit is tiny. Impressively small, really. So I don't think it's a problem.

#

Really don't recommend it, though.

#

Also, by bundling it you won't run into compatibility issues when Home Assistant upgrades.

stray mauve
#

I agree Lit is small (~2kb). Their whole ethos is efficiency, which includes tree-shaking and publishing elements unbundled 🙂

polar kelp
#

I don't think hui-view even is a LitElement anymore. It was probably changed to an UpdatingElement.

stray mauve
#

I don't mind latching on to a baked in version of Lit if it will get casting to work correctly.

#

To be fair I've been working with Lit for ~4 years now and with HA < 1 year. If there's some restrictions on how I consume Lit in HA, that's cool with me 🙂

#

Is there a native element in HA that you suggest I rely on to see if using it's version of Lit would solve the cast issue?

polar kelp
#

I think there's one in cast called hc-lovelace that should be a LitElement and always present.

#

Outside of cast home-assistant-main should work.

#

Anyone have a favorite way to visualize an entity, where the unit is %, as a progress bar on Lovelace?

#

The gauge card is just so huge

#

A progress bar entity row would be a lot better in some cases.

#

All I've found is this, but it's kind of ugly (no offense if the author is here) and unsupported

#

This seems alright but would seem to need a decent amount of configuration

hey guys anyone else having issue with the james Fry MDI Icon Index. While the repo has not been updated in 4 years, this was working up unitll the latest update in October. Now when I click on the MDI Index sidebar I get this : '<!doctype html>'.

tired hare
#

Just was wondering.... when will the creation (and editing) of groups be available from the frontend ?

split granite
#

Some time... maybe ... if anybody feels like working on that

feral rivet
#

is there an alternative to James Frye's Icon Index?

split granite
#

HA is on MDI v6 now, that index likely gives you a long list of invalid options

feral rivet
#

Yea I came across that one, but there does not appear to be a way of adding it to HA like the other one.

Thanks Tinkerer, the Iframe option works great

formal tide
#

you can setup a simple php server which serves your own custom html page and can trigger actions within HA using server side curl requests to webhooks or the api

your qr code can then link to that page

warm stone
#

Cheers @formal tide. Will just mount a tablet for guests and just set it to kiosk mode, it seems like the easier option without creating an extra point of failure

stone plaza
#

it's a work in progress, and I'm looking for ideas on how to lay out the light buttons in the lower right. This setup ends up being too tall for my wall tablet and I'd also like to include headers for each room's lights.

Nah, I think what I want must have been removed a while ago. I can get the same functionality if I make a new dashboard. It's just the dashboard isn't auto updated as new entries are added.

Where can I find yaml code from full homeassistant backups? I had a corrupt SD card event, and have always copied backup files locally, as well as all the Yaml code I thought I needed should anything happen, namely lovelace.yaml. But upon rebuilding I'm missing an entire view, which I named 'brewer' and cannot find it in lovelace.yaml, though all other views are present. Is there another location or file that I might check? It did contain mostly custom component cards, if that could have anything to do with it? I'm at a loss where to look. My dashboard included: 'Home' 'Media' 'Brewer' 'iOS' 'Status' and I'm able to see all code as it was except 'Brewer'.... the one I need! Any ideas on where to look?

blazing wren
#

Is it possibly not enabled for your user?

pure palm
#

I played with users a little bit, trying to setup a simplified user w/ less, but I am Administrator user, don't think I even ever logged in as other user and know it was present on both my PC & iOS app. Where would it be housed if it were only setup per user?

dark dirge
#

there isn't a "lovelace.yaml". Are you managing Lovelace from the UI or manually with YAML?

#

if the latter, there's ui-lovelace.yaml. If the former, there's a JSON file in .storage

pure palm
#

I think you are onto something! Thank you for idea. I'm fairly certain I had a combination of both, per dashboard. My main being from UI, then I would copy elements to the second dashboard where I managed manually with YAML. Now to try and figure out what i can do with JSON file?

#

Found it! Guess it is time to learn a little about JSON. Any tips, what program to use even? Just notepad++? Can I just copy into my new lovelace.json file?

dark dirge
#

I'm not sure I understand the goal. If it's in .storage, HA is expecting to manage it

#

I don't know how you would simply relink the JSON, but you could convert it to YAML and paste into into the raw editor in the UI

#

the JSON format looks like it has data.config.views, and that last part could be converted to YAML

pure palm
#

it is in .storage of old backups, when I began new homeassistant I started fresh (so as to not inherit the mess I created while extreme NEWBIE), including dashboards, views, users, etc. Only that particular tab was highly customized and never realized where it was saved, now I try to recreate it.

#

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction here, I was beginning to get quite frustrated, but now I'm happy to try things out and learn a bit more!

hi, has anything changed in recent versions with regard to frontend themes specification in the yaml?

#

Invalid config for [frontend]: [frontend.set_theme] is an invalid option for [frontend]. Check: frontend->frontend->frontend.set_theme. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 14).

#

was working correctly before

#

that's a service call, and it looks like you tried to put in the frontend: configuration

I'm banging my head against a wall here. I have a binary sensor on a door. It reads open and closed in Home Assistant. I'm trying to get the badge representing the sensor to show two different icons for the different states. It used to do this by default not too long ago, but something unknown changed and I can't recover this behavior.

dark dirge
#

set the device_class

pseudo citrus
#

Ah, I'm seeing the issue. I had set the icon as mdi:square trying to recover the default behavior

#

or... that doesn't make sense. Somehow the icon got set as square over riding the default behavior.

#

Hey all, I am trying to get my first HA-Floorplan setup. I have enabled yaml mode in my configuration.yaml file and created a dashboard there as well. I have also installed the HA-Floorplan from HACS and loaded the resource in the configuration.yaml. When I am trying to add the yaml code to display the card in a separate floorplan.yaml file it does not seem to load my svg file. I do have a css file as well so I believe it should display. I am going to include my configuration.yaml and floorplan.yaml. It seems like the card is getting loaded but not my svg file. Also I store my svg file in /config/www/floorplan/floorplan.svg but I reference it as /local/floorplan/floorplan.svg in the yaml code. https://www.codepile.net/pile/0D3j3OzM

Is there a way to control what items on the sidebar other users can see? I've added a user to my HA instance, but they can see all sidebar items.
Also more exactly, how much control over user permissions are there? I looked around a little and it doesn't seem like it's very fine-grained. For instance, the other user can see the calendar sidebar and all of my calendar events, the event log, and the history of every single entity.
I was able to successfully configure a Lovelace dashboard for them where they could only see what I wanted them to, but with the sidebar they're able to see everything else anyways. Did I miss something?

What is the "point" of "ha-floorplan" if you can use picture elements? (using native functionality is also an upside all else being equal).

tacit cave
#

ha-floorplan has more control of the SVG elements so you can do goofier things like making an element semmi-transparent. Or changing the color of an element. You cannot do that in picture elements.

#

well you can but it's harder.

#

tbh, both are complicated, so you're going to have an uphill battle regardless what direction you go

#

Lastly, I went through that whole floorplan crap a few years ago and it was fun but we never used it. So it turned out to be a waste of time. If you have a tablet thats mounted on the wall, it may be useful. If you don't. I'ts not useful at all and you'll want buttons / toggles.

tacit cave
#

however, if that's what you're using for a conditional card then all of that is wrong and you can only use state conditions

#

meaning, you'll have to make a template sensor with all those and/or's into 1 sensor then use that to conditionally display

#

what kind of card is that? Conditional card? Automation condition? Conditional element?

tacit cave
tacit cave
#

er the previous one

#

conditional cards do not accept nested condtions. Only single value conditions and everything in the list is anded together

#

so you'd have to make a template sensor if you have logic that requires more than 1 sensor

#

Templates are painful, so this is an example using your info in configuration.yaml:

template:
- binary_sensor:
  - unique_id: conditional_comodino
    name: Conditional Comodino
    state: >
      {{ is_state('switch.cameradaletto', 'off') or (is_state('switch.comodinoelena', 'on') and is_state('switch.mensolaelena', 'on')) }}

Then use the conditional syntax for cards (which is not the same as automations and does not require the condition type)

                          - conditions:
                              - entity_id: "binary_sensor.conditional_comodino"
                                state: 'on'
                            elements:
                              - image: \local\casa\comodino.png
                                style:
                                  left: 30.1%
                                  top: 30%
                                  width: 4%
                                type: image
                            type: conditional
errant peak
#

There's no way to do it without defining a binary sensor?

tacit cave
#

If this is a frontend card, no. If this is an automation, yes. However that looks like a card or element.

hello everyone... wondering, is it possible to capture text in lovelace? I am building a remote and although its easy to make up, left, right etc and buttons for netflix etc, I am wondering if its possible to pop up a text box so text can be sent through to the device... the roku API suggests that you can send search terms though to it and it will search across the various apps etc

can we somehow prevent a fold-entity-row from showing if the contained entity list is empty? using an auto-entities with show_emtpy: false in it, which is empty on a regular base. Guess we can use a conditional in front of it. Maybe other options are available?

Can somebody point me in the right direction, my google skillz are not giving me the results I need.
Trying to create a "log" on the lovelace interface of the button presses from the philips hue dimmer switch, which is connected via deconz. Trying to do this in node-red.
Why? Because some times when we press a button the lights dont respond, while the lights will then respond via the home assistant app. So the light and home assistant are still working. Logging when home assistant recieves events/button presses might help.
The problem is the hue dimmer switch only has a battery state, and thus cant select the button press events on the lovelace logger card.
I read the events in node red via, Events All node, filtered on deconz_events. How do I send these messages to a log on love lace?

hi all, The frontend.reload_themes service does not seem to work when using packages or is it only me ?

tacit cave
#

Why are your themes packaged?

#

I don’t see how they’d relate to a config. Anyways, it’s possible that themes cannot be reloaded in packages

leaden anchor
tacit cave
#

But you can put all the themes in a single folder with a include merge dir named until it does work

Is there anyway in lovelace to have two columns of cards, but with each column not being the same width?

#

gusty wing
#

Hi, i have a curtain using the cover device type.
Is there a way i can extract the "set position" value from it?
It doesnt show in the state of the device

polar kelp
#

@coral fossil layout-card can do that. You specify the column width for each column in the layout individually, or you can set the width of one of the columns and the rest will split the remainder.
However, there is a built-in layout which does exactly this, that's used for the energy dashboard - https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/sidebar/

#

@gusty wing The entities card can display an attribute of an entity instead of it's state. Check under "Special Row Elements" in its documentation.

im so confused by layout-card .... the docs talk about editing the actual layout and putting width and max_cols... but then no mention of width at all in the rest of the docs. I have found a post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/ens44g/column_width/ which talks about column_num: 2 and coumn_width: 500 ... but I have no idea where the poster is entering this? on the layout, the card? if so, which card? how are you actually supposed to use this, there is so much assumed understanding and knowledge of where you are supposed to put this stuff

you sure its not saying /24? as in a 24bit subnet mask? 192.168.0.1/24 ?

#

the IP address of the machine will be 192.168.0.1/24 which means 255.255.255.0 so maybe you are just reading its IP address... the port is 8123, usually written 192.168.0.1:8123

replace 192..168.0.1 with whatever your own internat IP subnet is

@tacit cave so on the actual layout, I press the pencil and enter:
max_cols: 2
width: 1000

And then I add a card (grid according to your example) and edit eh card with similar to what you have pasted above ?

tacit cave
#

Read up on css & grid-template-columns and rows

coral fossil
#

but even if I read up on it, im not sure where its applicable to... the layout, the card, only certain cards etc

tacit cave
#

It’s applicable based on what the docs say

buoyant sable
#

@coral fossil I am not very familiar with subnetting in ipv4... i am pretty early in training to work in IT, best i can do is ipv6 how similar is the subnetting part?
By the way any idea where my dns might be blocked because the Homeassistent.local:8123 and Homeassistent:8123 do not work for connecting, and i am expecting that whatever's cause the problem will come back and bite me later on

tacit cave
#

I don’t have it memorized, but grid-template-column is what you want

coral fossil
#

@buoyant sable usually, the DHCP server (probably your router) would register the IP address it handed out in its own internal DNS (I have given homeassistant.local to 192.168.0.1 etc), so if your DNS server on your local machine is google or something other than your router then google is not going to know what homeassistant.local is

#

try using your router/dhcp server as your DNS server, or you could just edit your hosts file on your local machine to contain homeassistant.local

#

this isnt really related to "front end" though, this is a general setup/OS/networking question

#

Wonder if someone could advise on what I'm doing wrong here...

#

I've spec'd out a dashboard in YAML, when I go to the frontend, my dashboard appears in the sidebar, but I click on it, I just see the autogenerated dashboard

dark dirge
#

you put a dashboards: section under lovelace: in configuration.yaml and gave one a mode: yaml?

#

or made your default dashboard with mode: yaml?

gentle quartz
#

@dark dirge So, in configuration.yaml I have:
lovelace: !include lovelace.yaml

#

In lovelace.yaml - I have:

mode: yaml
dashboards: !include ./dashboards/dashboards.yaml
dark dirge
#

and?

gentle quartz
#

and then in dashboards.yaml I have:

home-dashboard: # Needs to contain a hyphen (-)
  mode: yaml
  filename: ./dashboards/home.yaml
  title: Home
dark dirge
#

and that's the one that isn't acting like it's in YAML mode?

gentle quartz
#

Right

#

and home.yaml looks like this:

#

except what I put in there ^ is largely irelevant because lovelace just ignores it anyway

dark dirge
#

do you see it in configuration -> Lovelace dashboards? And does it say that it's in YAML mode?

gentle quartz
#

Yep.

#

Home YAML file ./dashboards/home.yaml

dark dirge
#

I don't think you can use a path there

#

filename string REQUIRED
The file in your config directory where the Lovelace configuration for this panel is.

gentle quartz
#

so what do I do?

#

does that file have to be in the same dir?

dark dirge
#

I'm just reading it like you are

#

it's pretty specific

gentle quartz
#

You said I couldn't use a path there, but then quoted the docs where it says the filename string is required

#

I'm trying to figure out what you're implying.

dark dirge
#

a filename isn't a path with a file in some directory

gentle quartz
#

So, "yes" then. It has to be in the same directory.

dark dirge
#

"a file in your config directory"

gentle quartz
#

Oh, it has to be in <config>

#

Hm.

#

I guess that would explain why it wasn't working

#

One more thing

#

My configuration.yaml isn't in the top level

dark dirge
#

it has to be

gentle quartz
#

Well it isn't.

#

It's included in the top level configuration.yaml

#

That way I can keep all my yaml files as one repo

dark dirge
#

My configuration.yaml isn't in the top level

#

that doesn't make sense

#

it has to be in your config directory

gentle quartz
#

and yet it isn't

#

hold on

dark dirge
#

impossible

dusk lintel
#

i think he means that the top level configuration.yaml points to somepath/configuration.yaml

gentle quartz
#

There is A file called configuration.yaml in the top level dir

dark dirge
#

yes, I'm sure there is

gentle quartz
#

but all it does is !include mystuff/configuration.yaml

dark dirge
#

that's crazy complicated

#

but okay

gentle quartz
#

It's less complicated than a huge .gitignore file

#

that way I can keep all my yaml files together and version them properly

dark dirge
#

anyway, I recommend trying to use a file in the config directory, as the docs say

gentle quartz
#

okay, ill try it

#

okay, let's see

#

Yep. That fixed it.

#

@dark dirge guess that means I can't keep my dashboards where I wanted to. Bummer.

#

Thanks @dark dirge

**How to prevent caching webpage or force loading from directory?**I have set up an html page in the /www/alarm/report directory. The html page gets refreshed every ten minutes, but the name does not change. I load the page through a lovelace webpage in the frontend. This is correct the first time, but then loads from the browser's cache. On a laptop I can resolve by clearing the cache manually, but on a mobile that is cumbersome. Is there a way to prevent lovelace webpage loading from the cache? I have already tried including some javascript code in the html header to prevent caching, but this did not work. Also tried to add a random number after the file name: "_?nr=random". Apparently the caching intelligende only looks for the filename. Any proven tips?

Hi. How can I put a cover's state onto the entities card? If I use just an entity card its shows the state, but if I use entities card (muliple entities) it shows the controls (UP/DOWN) and not the state itself

Try```yaml
type: entities
entities:

also, be aware that you may have to clear your cache for that to set

you should instinctually hit ctrl+f5 after every change to your lovelace.yaml. It may not always be needed but you'll never run into caching issues.

right, see my previous commments

coral fossil

so if the card or whatever had the capability to be responsive then my code would be right ?

tacit cave
#

no idea what you mean by responsive

#

you're taking a card and changing the size. If the innards do not have the ability to "compress", then all you'll end up doing is compressing the outside while the innards stay the same size

#

which is what you're seeing

#

it's a graph and graphs are usually limited

coral fossil

ok, so its not a case that my code is incorrectly setting the height and the innards cant respond accordingly, but a case that innards simply dont support it

Is the best solution to format it in lovelace (couldn't find an example) or is a sensor template required/recommended for this?

the UI is very slow.. i wondering if i have too many entities.. is there a way to clean it up?

#

could it be the recorder sending too much to the database?

Hello,
I am using Home Assistant together with the Rhasspy add-on to control HA by speech commands. I am listening for Events in HA to switch lights on or off.
Is there a chance to get the Event of the hotword detector and visualize this in the Lovelance UI?

hi

#

I'll like for a frontend button to start a script and if is already on start another, is that possible?

rich eagle
urban portal
#

second different script

rich eagle
#

The only thing I can think off with HA vanilla (without custom elements) is to create a "main" script that checks if the first "sub" script one is already active and then based on that check calls the other "sub" one, so basically a script calling other scripts.

#

Then the button can just always trigger the "main" script and not care about the details.

urban portal
#

is it possible with a custom button?

tacit cave
#

then expose the template switch entity as a button in the frontend

# 
switch:
- platform: template
  switches:
    my_script:
      value_template: "{{ is_state('script.xyz', 'on') }}"
      turn_on:
      - service: script.xyz
      turn_off:
      - service: script.abc
urban portal
#

I use it in the code part of the button?

#

isn't this for a switch?

calm plank
tacit cave
tacit cave
urban portal
# tacit cave it is, so it goes in configuration.yaml

I don't think it would work.
The switch goes to a boiler, I want to have a button to turn it on or off
and another buttun that turn the boiler on, start a timer and shuts down after one hour. if the button was already on, stops the timer and the boiler

#

if I do it on the switch, the 2 buttons will do the same thing

open glade
#

I created a group for some of mine:

# 
    name: Den
    unique_id: 81fdc5d5-2f2a-4e6c-b33c-7fa7ff0c3fb7
    entities:
      - light.den_1_level_light_color_on_off
      - light.den_2_level_light_color_on_off```
#

And added it to lovelace:

tap_action:
  action: more-info
entity: light.den
hold_action:
  action: toggle
#

What am I missing?

dark dirge
#

I'm surprised that the docs show that - I wouldn't expect it to list all light.group entities

#

the point of grouping is typically to manage a set of entities all at once, both for status and control

open glade
#

Checking random blog posts it's definetly how itt worked when light groups were introduced

#

I suppose what I can do instead is change the hold action to be to navigate to an entities card and maintain the list by hand

tacit cave
# urban portal I don't think it would work. The switch goes to a boiler, I want to have a butto...

no they won't, switches by default only perform the opposite action based on the state. If the switch is on and you click it, it will run the turn off. If the switch is off and you click it it will turn on. So if your on script has a delay, the script itself will have an on/off state. Using that state as the template switches state will ensure that on will be on and off will be off and the state will be determined by the status of the running script.

open glade
#

my vision basically is 1 level of heirarchy like:

Inside
  Downstairs
    Den
      Den 1
      Den 2
    Kitchen
  Upstairs
    Craft Room
      Craft Room 1```

And have each group be able to show the components 1 level down incase i want to control a subset
dark dirge
#

fold-entity-row can do that

open glade
#

oh that's cool

#

I was thinking of just having it 1 level but that's pretty cool

Is there a collection of useful 3rd party things like that? Discoverability seems to be a problem

pretty sure it's in the default list

it does say on github it should be

you're looking in the "frontend" section?

open glade
#

ok if i select add a repository

then i see there's a fold-entity-row repository

#

i thoguht the list of cards there in 'new repository' was all of them

#

which means I have a bunch more things to look at 🙂

dark dirge
#

you were searching the ones that you already had installed

open glade
#

well no

#

there's a whole 'new repositories flag'

#

above the ones i had installed

dark dirge
#

I can see it from your image

open glade
#

i filtered the iamge

#

by searching fold

dark dirge
#

in the ones you've already installed

open glade

unfiltered it shows a buncvh of 'new repositories'

#

and I thought that was 'all repositotires'

#

if i scroll past those in green THEN installed ones are there without a banner header

#

which version of HACS are you using?

open glade
#

1.18.0

Frontend Version: 20211128181314

I see that your image says "Search for downloaded or new repositories" and mine says "Search for downloaded repositories", which is limited to the ones that I've already installed

open glade
#

i hit the dismiss button on the 'new repositories'

dark dirge
#

maybe you don't have any frontend repos installed? The page will normally just show the ones you already have installed

open glade
#

and now mine says 'Search for downlaoded repositories'

dark dirge
#

ah, got it

open glade
#

It was just my confusion over the UX that I thought that was the full list in card format

dark dirge

anyway, point is that you need to hit the button in the bottom right to search for and install new repos

yep 🙂

#

I was previously just picking them from the cards but got it

#

Thanks for your help... Still going to poke at this light group thing 🙂

dark dirge
#

it's behaving as I would expect, and I don't see the behavior that you're looking for at that blog llink

#

they declare a light group with two entities and the Lovelace view only has the name of the "Ceiling Lights" light group

Hi guys, so I have a smart z-wave power plug connected to an air conditioner and I want to see if it's on or off.
But I want to define 'on' as being 100w+ because there is a constant draw of around 50w when it's not on. Also I want to see the past 24h history of the on/off value.
I honestly have no idea how to start as I just got into home assistant, so I hope someone could guide me a little to get started.

dark dirge
#

the easiest way to do that is to create a template sensor that defines "on" and "off" as per your definition, and then a history_stats sensor that aggregates the "on" time

#

your template sensor would use a template like {{ states('sensor.something')|float > 100 }}

calm plank

or just a history card in the UI, depending on what it means to "see" the history

HI, I'm very puzzled about how to properly apply the dark theme on Lovelace. Specifically using Back End Selected. Apparently something is broken with that. I found out so far that if the theme has both dark and light the themes does not apply correctly. Anyone can confirm that behavior?

dark dirge
#

I don't think you can

#

dark vs. light mode has to be selected by the user in the profile

royal spear
#

But.. there's the Auto mode... as far as I understand, the default is the ligtht.. but if tere is a Dark mode selected, the dakrk mode should be applyed

#

But.. if my profile seays Auto. And I set the service as Dark, it does not work

dark dirge
#

ok, I don't use themes, so hopefully someone else will know

royal spear
#

I have this working with separate themes.. one version light, one version dark with the mode set to dark inside the theme. That way it works as expected. But if the theme has both modes it is not working properly

#

There should be a front end state to get the current theme and mode. That will be very useful to automations

make a button card

Hey guys, I made an oopsie while trying to add stuff to my HA installation and now the frontend is inaccessible. I can SSH in, the SMB share is up, everything else seems to be functioning just fine (observer all green). I just can't figure out why the frontend is hiding from me. I'd prefer not to have to restore a backup.

There's nothing in home-assistant.log -- how can I retrieve the correct log to figure out what's wrong?

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: RobC
quartz locust

Thanks RobC, that's good to know! I did use the UI check. I think I'll submit a suggestion/request to add a 'help' command to the command line, it feels a bit dumb to have to ask such simple questions and it takes so much time going through all the documentation online.

I found the log and was able to solve the issue, cheers.

dark dirge
#

There is a ‘help’ command if you’re at an ‘ha> ‘ prompt, and you can use ‘ha help’ elsewhere, but adding a simple ‘help’ script that calls that wouldn’t be hard to add

urban portal
#

´´
type: button
entity: switch.sonoff_caldeira
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: switch.toggle
service_data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.my_script
´´

tacit cave
#

your value_template is wrong then

#

when you turn on the switch, does the switch turn on?

urban portal
#

''

  • platform: template
    switches:
    my_script:
    value_template: "{{ is_state('script.caldeira_on_timer', 'on') }}"
    turn_on:
    - service: script.caldeira_on_timer
    turn_off:
    - service: script.caldeira_off_timer
    ''
#

yes

tacit cave
#

then it should work

#

with just

# 
type: button
entity: switch.sonoff_caldeira
#

nothing else

urban portal
#

it's within the switch field, I have more switches

#

but that won't start the timer

#

only turns on the boiler

tacit cave
#

then add turning on the timer in the turn_on of your template switch

#

turn_on and turn_off accepts mutliple services

#

you also technically don't need a timer if you use a script

#

you can just use a delay

#

script a: turn on boiler, 1 hour delay, turn off boiler. script b turns off script a and turns off the boiler. Then make a template switch from those 2 using script a as the state for the switch.

#

downside is that the script running will not survive restarts but a timer will

#

so if that's important keep the timer

urban portal
#

here are the scripts

#

they do just that

tacit cave
#

ok then you have an automation that turns off the boiler

urban portal
#

I've run them, and they work

tacit cave
#

So I don't se the problem then

#

er wait

#

I do

#

what I said before

#

your switch doesn't actually turn on when you turn it on

#

because you don't have a delay in the script

#

so the value_template is wrong

#

your value template should work based on the timer being on or off

urban portal
#

ohhh

#

got it 🙂

#

it works, thanks 🙂

tacit cave
#

Np

urban portal
#

now lets mix it up again...

#

can I get the count down timer in the button itself?

#

instead of being a separate entity?

tacit cave
#

That will be hard

#

The front end doesn’t handle timers well

urban portal
#

oh, ok. so lets leave it as it is

#

thank you, I've been around this for a week 🙂

tacit cave
#

I mean, it’s possible but it’s usually really complex and the outcome is lack luster because the frontend will not update every second

urban portal
#

right

lament siren
#

What can I use to show an indicator that there are updates available? Is there a card/HACS integration etc that will do this?

sacred rampart
#

sacred rampart
lament siren
urban portal
# tacit cave Np

had to add a script.turn_off to the stop script so it killed the start script, or it would have to wait for the delay to be over before I could run it again 😄

#

is there a card I can set multiple states?
summer, winter, spring and autumn?

tacit cave
#

but using the timer means you have to update the value_template to use the timer as the on/off state

urban portal
#

oh, I used delay

tacit cave
#

you can use whichever one you want

urban portal
#

and a multiple state switch?

#

or other visual state holder?

tacit cave
#

I'm not sure what you mean

urban portal
#

I want to set a state, summer, winter, spring or autumn to decide if an automation runs or not and for how long

tacit cave
#

ah

urban portal
#

and I'd like to set it visually

kind shellBOT

#

I used to have 3 switches that turned the others off

tacit cave

urban portal

this October, the temperature was low, but last year, in the beginning of November it was hot

tacit cave
#

just make an input_select then with items that you want, then in your script use choose based on the state of that input select

#

is there a sensor where I can get the min and max temperatures of today?

#

there's plenty of weather integrations

Hi guys.
Ever since i started I've been managing my Dashboards with the UI and the Raw config editor.
But I've found some code I want to use which uses quite a lot of !includes and realised I can't use that with the UI.
So I've seen instead of changing it all to yaml I've seen there's a storage option as well.
Am I right in thinking if I change it to storage and define just the one dashboard I can leave all my others as UI and my existing UI dashboards won't be affected
Or am I best in the long run changing all of them to yaml.
Thanks

When I login to my HA (either using my username/password or the trusted network login) and I select 'Keep me logged in'. It doesn't keep me logged in. I have to login EVERY TIME. Even when I open a new tab after logging in. I have to login again, and every time it creates a refresh token.

No matter what browser I use or what address I use to access my HA instance (directly through IP with HTTP or with a reverse proxy with HTTPS), I have to login every time. I've cleared my cache, installed new browsers, used other devices, it will not remember me.

That fan automation has just been added and I was actually sending some manual overrides for that relay at 19:26. System was fully responsive at that time and these problems I've been having go back about 2 months ever since I’ve setup this instance of HASS.

hacs is to install custom integrations, front end cards, appdeamon apps, and themes

#

things that are not provided by home assistant

#

things that are provided by random people in the community

#

it merely installs things, it does not configure them

#

it tells you when you need to update these custom items

#

It's like the google play store or the apple app store

tacit cave
#

the process is: Install the custom integration from hacs, then configure it through integrations. Front end cards are very similar process. Instead of configuring it through integrations, you add it as a resource. Theme's just work if you have it set up before hand. Don't worry about appdaemon apps because you don't use them.

#

When you know how to do it, it's easy.

But the first time..ughhh.

So it finds my roku and I can switch Chanel's but there is no visual remote to switch programs so I have to switch to the roku hand controller which is pretty pointless as I may as well have used that from the start.

Is there a beginners step by step to add a on screen roku remote ?

tacit cave
#

No because remotes are one of the hardest things to do

#

Look for custom integrations that do this for you or custom cards that do this for you. Otherwise you have to create scripts and buttons by hand.

The only thing I have used is turning lights on and off as it fiund my isy994i, but I could already do that with the phone anyway.

tacit cave
#

there's a roku card in hacs

#

that's very easy to set up

What's lovelace ?

tacit cave
#

the ui

#

I recommend you take a look at the documentation page

#

it seems like you're trying to swim before you know how to doggy paddle

#

watch current videos on youtube, nothing older than 6 months

half haven
#

Yes...it seems way complicated.

tacit cave
#

it's not. Learning something new is always challenging. If you aren't up for that, this isn't for you.

half haven
#

I learn stuff all the time as I have run Linux and BSD's for 20+ years.
I am just not sure I am up for another long learning process when I already have systems in place for lights and media.
I was hoping to combine and simplify, not make things more complex.

tacit cave
#

again, it's actually very simple. download/install -> configure

#

this is nothing new

half haven
#

More integrated might be a better word.

tacit cave
#

you just arn't used to the pieces that do that.

half haven
#

Yes, I agree

tacit cave
#

you want the custom roku card. So install hacs (there's videos for that). Then download the frontend card "roku card"

#

through hacs

half haven
#

Hacs is installed

tacit cave
#

then add the card to resources

#

then configure the card in your UI

#

that's it

#

so you have 3 steps

#
  1. Install/download "Roku card"
#
  1. Add "Roku Card" to resources: Configuration ->Lovelace dashboards -> resources
half haven
#

I will take another look tonight. Have to get ready for work.
Thanks for the advice Petro.

tacit cave
#
  1. Add the card to your interface
#

step 3 will require you to read the documents on the custom card

Hopefully an easy and quick question on changing an icon's color. I would like to change the color to Red when my fireplace switch is on, but then use the default theme color when off

#

In my configuration.yaml under customize I have the following:

# 
  templates:
    icon: mdi:fireplace
    icon_color: >
      if ( state === 'on') return 'rgb(255, 0, 0)';
      return```
#

trying to figure out what I need to return when state != on to use the default color

Hi, i'm using custom button card lovelace and want to change the icon color of my climate entity by preset_mode (eco, comfort) but it doesn’t work. I tried this:
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/onapitosop.kotlin
And get the following error:

ButtonCardJSTemplateError: SyntaxError: missing ( before condition in ?if is_state_attr(?climate.heizung_buero?, ?preset_mode?, ?comfort?) return ?orange?; if is_stat??

Some ideas ?
Thanks !

Hi Everyone, So im trying to use Dwains Dashboard and starting to configure the files for it but totally confused about Areas vs rooms vs groups. also this is supposed to be auto generating but it seems like theres a lot of configuration into YAML files i will need to do no? thanks for the help

Hey, I'm trying to figure out the roku care/remote thing again

#

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds it a bit complicated

#

I read through a bit of a tutorial on the basics of YAML so I can interpret those files a bit now (I hope)

#

and I know a bit of python so I can understand what's going on with those to a fair degree

#

I think my main crux now is that I just don't understand what the normal process of interacting with/using HA "should" be

#

I feel like maybe I should install in another way rather than docker

mild veldt
#

Are you trying to display the roku remote on your UI or struggling with just setting up Roku integration @dull kernel ?

mild veldt
dull kernel
#

I've integrated roku

#

I thought the remote that came with it should be fully functional but it isn't..

#

Or... it "should be" ...

#

and it isn't "for me"...

#

i'm sort of wondering whether i should run HA a different way

#

I have it on a docker container now... but can't use the addon store like this

mild veldt
#

The integration provides a list of service calls that can be used to control the Roku

dull kernel
#

someone said u can just run docker containers in lieu of "addons" ... I'm trying to find the container version of an ssh add on right now and can't seem to find one

mild veldt
#

You don't need to do anything like that

#

Not for Roku at least

dull kernel
#

Ok, so I should be able to get full remote functionality via the "vanilla" roku integration

mild veldt
#

You see remote.<roku name> in your list of entities?

dull kernel
#

To do service calls... does this mean I need to configure a yaml ? or that I need to write/edit some script (python im guessing)?

#

yes i do see it

#

let me double check, i think there are 2 roku entities

mild veldt
#

I actually don't personally use my own card and just use buttons

dull kernel
#

yes, there is a mediaplayer.MYTV and a remote.MYTV entities for roku

#

wait did u write that roku-card ??

mild veldt
#

yes

dull kernel
#

or is that the name of it lol

#

oh wow ok

#

so u are... where is the github

mild veldt
#

I just linked it above

dull kernel
#

oh shoot thanks

#

ok so it says to use the .js file

#

but i only see a ts extension

#

but they are sort of the same thing it seems like?

mild veldt
#

it's in the Releases, but I'd actually not use it if I were you

dull kernel
#

typescript is a "flavor" of jss?

#

js*

#

not use the roku card?

#

glad to talk to you by the way

mild veldt
dull kernel
#

do you mean I should just configure the "regular" roku card that comes with the integration?

#

ok

#

let me try that

#

thanks for the help man

#

the script you just sent is obviously YAML right

mild veldt
#

Yes

#

Should give you this
