The only benefit the custom roku-card provides is less yaml in your config, and you can use the 'repeat' action. e.g. hold down the volume up button and it could increase every 500ms or something
Thanks for the feedback Ian, The question is if all the customization is worth it. are there other similar UIs that you recommend that would be similar with less configuration?
i just find it silly that i spent all this time setting up areas but i cant use that because it uses groups
and then where does rooms come in lol
head is spinning
imo, no. They break often and have too much overhead. I know people love to really dig in and customize their UIs (I used to be one of them) but I try to keep as simple as possible these days
didnt think of overhead
if you actually have custom ui, then all you need to return is the ccs variable for icon color. Look in any theme to get the name. Don'thave it memorized off the top of my head.
do you have any of your configs on github? was thinking that dwains would be an easy way to do it but it doesnt look like that is the case lol
dwains is not easy
it's a great UI but you'll have a rough time if you don't know HA well and you want to make any changes to it.
i dont mind putting the work into it, im just realizing that even though i though it was automated, it isnt, and if i decide to add items/update screens i now have to modify 4 different things to get this dashboard to work
no, but using button rows is pretty straight forward
@mild veldt what are some of the issues youve had in the past that broke it?
i've never used dwains
but custom cards in general come with a warning that they could break at any time. HA frontend is always evolving, and sometimes that breaks custom cards
Then you have to wait until the custom card developer gets around to fixing it (if they are still maintaining it)
Or hold off on getting new HA goodies in the newest release
dwains uses lovelace_gen and relies heavily on configurations that are huge
lovelace_gen is great, but it's not for everyone
ok, thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it
Here's the basic idea behind my UI
https://gist.github.com/iantrich/3f646fde25c06f299ac7468d80350d57
You even use the cards you create?
Actually, that's a lie. I did start using custom-template-card again recently to show last motion in the section rows
- type: custom:config-template-card
entities:
- sensor.living_room_motion_last_changed
row:
type: section
label: >-
${"Living Room - " +
states['sensor.living_room_motion_last_changed'].state + " ago"}
I actually removed it 🤣
good, the author is an idiot
lol
I liked the card, but lovelace gen makes it obsolete
lovelace_gen & custom button card
now that's too big for my tastes, actually 🙂
I like it, combine the 2 and you get some nice nagivations and good looking ui
I want to be able to do as much as possible from one page, hence the button rows. No navigating, barely any scrolling if ever as I put the most used on top. Function over looks these days. But I also use my UI less and less as I fine tune my automations more and more
yeah that's what I have
I use plex
or tried making it so you can talk to your device to get it to do stuff
i was using plex a while ago ( i just got HA installed yesterdaY btw) but switched to JF cus' $$
I have overview pages, where if you hold the overview button it turns off all the lights. Crap like that. Then at the top of each page you have an on/off button for the room if you happen to be in the room. Main page links to all small ones. Forward/back buttons everwhere to know where you are
how do you have your JF setup petro??
JF?
you should be
goddamnit lol
i use Jellyfin as well would be awesome if it had Home Assistant support
i got some of my 4k videos to play (still no dune) today through jf plugin/kodi... so i should be happy with tthat atleast
and now have the remote working thanksk to ian
I use plex
there's some addon for it Pepo but idk how to get it setup
send me the link
i have jf client running as plugin in kodi now... so im hoping i can get control over that client with kodi integration on HA
i wanted to get plex, then tried emby but the lincesing became a pain
koying made a custom integration for jellyfin
the link ian sent is what i was reading pepo
oh, what ian linked
oh ok seeing now
are you having an issue with the plugin or with installing HACS?
i haven't really tried it yet
i tried integrating kodi and using that to play the JF content on kodi but im' getting an error
"failed to call service"
just tried it again
oh and that remote is able to turn the roku tv on apparently
i didn't think that would work
very cool
i think i need to config the yaml file ?
i dont have anything in my configuration.yaml file
found a thing for kodi remote
does anyone know how you would implement this?
I tried manually making card like I did with the roku remote
and went to scripts to add the script.yaml text
bangs head into wall
I have defined a group of remotes (which controls a pair of roku televisions that should turn on and off together, they're two monitors for security cameras). In an entities card, they show up as "On" or "Off" where I would like it to have a normal switch. Can I do this, and if so, how?
Have you seen this old thing? https://sharethelove.io/picture-elements-cards/kodiremote-card
wow, that site is still alive 🙈
I don't think I have
I'm checking it out now thanks
does picture-elements need to be configed in the configuration.yaml file?
i guess i just add a new "doc" to the yaml config file?
then define the "custom" type
"Home assistant script syntax"
is this just the conventions we should use to write code for HA?
or is there some sort of actual specific language here
(reading the documentation on scripts)
I couldn't figure out how to get picture-elements to work
i have what would be a remote card for kodi ... seems like i just need to link the buttons so they call the proper scripts
i thought most of HA was python but seems like it's yaml
Aren't you the one paying for it?
Oh. Toast owns it?
That could be
whois lookup (while heavily redacted) indicates it is indeed me 😄
Heavily redacted indeed. The only piece of actual information in there is "Baerum"
And I'd bet there's like dozens of people who live there.
Only 118k
I think you need to take a step back and learn how the user interface works
Maybe watch a video or 2 about Lovelace
Follow this guy https://youtu.be/5y6rhwr5Y8c
I’m not sure if that’s the best one to start with but he might have other videos that fit the bill
if u want to use a own .png as an icon i have to place it in the www folder and use icon: /local/whatever.png right? cause that doesnt work for me
thanks petro
No, entity_picture not icon
will give it a try, thanks!
I don't have the time or inclination to spend weeks or months learning all this.
I think I will stick with my Three different app's to look after lights, roku and kodi.
If anyone in the US is interested in a slightly used Home Assistant Blue, shoot me a message.
Looking at a tablet to stick on the wall and drive HomeAssistant.
I have an old Android that'll run lovelace via Chrome, but wont run the homeassistant app.
Do I really need HAss App for anything besides presence and notifications?
Or is the browser UI fine to control lights, temps that sort of thing?
Oh thanks ! I am unfortunately not familiar with Java Script. Can you maybe help me how to integrate it here?

You need to replace your template with something like this
if states['climate.heizung_buero'].attributes.preset_mode == "eco" return "green";
return "white";```
I tried it but nothing changes.. am I missing something? 🙈

is there a way to hide the navigation bar at the top (on iphone)?
Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.
Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.
If you click on the entity, to get the more info popup, what do you see?
(it may have to be turned on for the speed to show, I don't know)
I can see details and history
i tried turning it on but result is same
just toggle button
This looks like a possible Solutions:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/solved-remove-hide-lovelace-header-custom-header/216117/14
Then Tasmota isn't identifying it as a fan with speed options - or you're still using the manual MQTT integration for Tasmota
tasmota is set to ifan02 and its working fine in tasmota
yes i am using manual mqtt integration for tasmota
hey all, whenever I go to my default_home it comes up blank and I need to refresh it before the content shows. any ideas ?
You forgot the brackets like you used in your previous template
for those who are struggling like me for ifan02
this works.
mm, latest dev changed things in footer (chips in button rows): https://community.home-assistant.io/t/card-mod-add-css-styles-to-any-lovelace-card/120744/2410 cant get the mod to see the right variables.. please anyone with a suggestion?
Im having a hard time figuring out a clean way to add a “queue to chromecast” card in Lovelace.
I have added “Lovelace Text Input row” from HACS, and can at least update an input_text with a link, or video ID.
And I have a script that can send a “hard coded” video to the queue.
The issue is reading the input_text. As data to the script.
It did't work.. so I did it another way… I created a sensor which uses the attribute preset_mode of the cliamte entity. Than you can work with “value” 😀 👍
hi
is there a way to set one of the dashboards as the default page on the HA app for android?
Jepp.
Configuration ->
Lovelace Dashboards ->
[select desired default dashboard] ->
Click the middle button of the pop-up labeled:
“Set as default”
I hope this is the right place to ask. Does anyone use a Webpage Card for Tautulli? Are you able to login? I can through a regular browser but not via a card in HA, regardless of whether I use plexauth or a local tautulli login. It gives me the login page, and after I enter them it just refreshes the login page in an endless loop. What am I missing? thx!
it won't work that way
it's a static window and if your URL changes, that won't stick
oh, I see
typically auth adds encrypted auth tokens to the webpage url as you log in
Okay no problem. Thanks for the quick feedback!
Hello is it posible to have the grid card outlined with a color? and also change the background color of it?
i am making a tab for some groups of lights and if i use 2 grid cards on top of each other it just looks like a single large one
how do some of you list github updates available on your frontend? I know there is a github sensor but how do I create a sensor that compares my version with current version? Or how do you display it
I am trying to add a simple calendar and date/time via configuration.yaml to the UI, however since it doesnt have a unique ID it hasnt worked. I get entities created, but when I go to the ui and select the calendar card there are no entities to choose from.
I picked the entities card and they show up for that, but I am trying to get a monthly calendar with current date/time on it. Shouldnt the calendar card be the right one? Surely it should have some entities to choose from?
The calendar card may only support calendar entities...
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/calendar/#entities and that's what it claims
Does the following go in the configuration.yaml?
type: calendar
entities:
- calendar.calendar_1
- calendar.calendar_2
and is it suppossed to be hard indented to the left or is it a sub para of something else?
No, it doesn't go there
You can do that in the UI entirely
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/dashboards/ summarises how to do it in YAML if you want to
and should
I dont want to do it in yaml, but it looks like I have no choice if I want a calendar
🤔
You should be able to add calendar entities there, unless you need Advanced mode to see them for some strange reason?
already have advanced mode. but you said that I can do all this from the UI already? Whithout resorting to yaml mode?
Yes
ok well I am missing something cos I cant see how to do that from the UI
ok how do I add calendar entities?
via the UI i mean
no - thats why I am missing something somewhere

Well, there is your problem
You can't add something that doesn't exist
Step #1 will be to configure a suitable calendar integration
I thought it would be a bog standard basic inclusion - seems I was wrong.
based on the inbuilt date/time
Yeah... unless you configure it, or it's part of the default_config (which you can remove) then it doesn't exist
its obviously not an integration, so how would you go about it from scratch? if possible in the UI.
Why is it obviously not an integration?
Integrations integrate Home Assistant with devices or services, or provide functionality within Home Assistant. Add-ons provide additional software or services, which an integration could possibility integrate with. Add-ons are for Home Assistant OS and Supervised only, other install methods can install software other ways.
if I go to integrations and seaarch for calendar - nothing shows up
OK well then are you saying that I can easily install an integration for something like a light, but not for a simple calendar?
can someone help with scraping? - I've followed the directions here, but still not getting anything. I think its an issue with the page itself I'm trying to scrape
most - if not all of those on the website require yaml from what I have seen
Sure, they do, and earlier I was talking about configuring the UI
If you think more #integrations-archived need to be able to be set up in the UI then I'm sure the developers will love to have you help out
Sadly there's not enough developers
but I cant configure the ui as I have no calendar entities and I dont know how to get them without a lot of hooha and changing the ui mode to yaml?
You're confusing two things
1 - Configure an #integrations-archived
2 - Configure the UI to use the entities that are created by the #integrations-archived
now you see my problem! lol
Until you do the first, you cannot do the second
The UI does not require YAML mode
Everything you want to do to the UI can be done with the UI
but to configure an integration I need the entities - correct?
No, but that's a topic for the #integrations-archived channel
Is there a setting to fix cut off labels on cards? Many of the labels in my home assistant are missing a portion the first word of the label making them difficult to read. This is on home assistant version core-2021.11.5.
Had a quick question... I want to insert the value of a sensor in a picture-element, so I'm using type: state-label but this doesn't just show the value, it also shows the kind of the value
elements:
- type: state-label
entity: sensor.pi_hole_dns_queries_today
style:
top: 78%
left: 20%
box-shadow: none
background-color: transparent
I get 56,786 queries
I don't want to see the word queries
just the number 56,786
I'm guessing I shouldn't use state-label or els eI'm missing a way to hide the word queries
Og it's the unit of measerment that's showing
so I need to hide that
Did you ever find out how to get a header toggle to send a different command?
@grizzled ravine FYI, Jellyfin integration is being added in the next release: https://rc.home-assistant.io/integrations/jellyfin/
simple question how to install https://github.com/custom-cards/button-entity-row in HACS
when I try to add custom repository it says is in blacklist
thank you!
Hello guys!
One question.
I am of the opinion that you can monitor the open hardware monitor program running on a Windows computer via HA
Somehow I managed to do everything locally in Windows systems via http
I have a problem because I access HA via duckdns which uses https
and when I tried to insert the card (Webpage Card Configuration)
he tells me
Unable to load iframes pointing at websites using http: if Home Assistant is served over https
is there any solution to my problem?
Thanks.
it's the way browsers have and always will operate
use a reverse proxy for whatever service you're running to provide https support for it, or do it within that service itself
Sorry, can you please describe in more detail.
You cannot load insecure content from a secure web page
So what should I do?
Use a reverse proxy like NGINX or Eva or SSL in that service
Where? In HA or in windows side.
Sorry. Thanks.
@quick basalt unfortunately not :/
That sucks. Thanks for replying.
In my setup, I have my camera feed captured to a single video.jpg file on a local machine on my network, e.g.; http://192.168.1.4/video.jpg (note that I do not need to specify a port number). I am able to see the feed update in a web browser by refreshing the page. How do I get this file to refresh LIVE in the Lovelace UI?
transparent 'user' pictures?
i upload transparent PNGs for user pictures but they seem to get converted to ugly fucking jpegs with disgusting black boxes
Anyone else using a rooted Wink Relay for HA? Seems like there may have been frontend changes that stopped it from working on an (admittedly ancient) version of mobile Chrome. Since it's unfortunately limited to Android 4.2
Well the kodi card remote i added the other day is mostly working
i just forgot to reload something lol
a couple buttons aren't but that's good because now i can figure out why they aren't
hello - I am trying to add comments to lovelace dashboard configuration files
is the yaml mode still supprted?
I ask as page with help reg lovelace yaml mode is no longer accessible
@polar kelp thanks a lot!
has anyone used installed this theme successfully? https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI
I followed the install instructions from the wiki for the yaml config but when I select minimalist-desktop as my theme only the colors change slightly. Other than that everything looks stock lovelace.
themes through HACS work fine for me, so there's gotta be something I'm missing with this, but I cannot figure out what it is
I’m looking for a way to display message like “Good morning user” if time is between 06 and 10 and then a different message later and so on. Any tip for a card for this?
I manage to solve it with jinja and markdown card
I just upgraded from the last 2021.10.x release to the current 2.11.xx release. All of my custom cards will not render. I've restarted via ha core restart, and restarted the host too. No Joy. Thoughts? Affected custom cards include: button-card, bom-weather-card, mini-graph-card, etc.
Do you have the latest versions of those cards? There were some breaking changes in 2021.11 which meant that the cards had to be updated as well.
Hi guys, i just got a google nest hub and got home assistants dashboard cast to it which works fine, the problem i have is that the background turns white even though it should be an image of hexagons as defined by the theme of that view
any ideas how to fix this?
Hello is it allowed to use !include statement in file which has been added as lovelace dashboard using filename: attribute?
@muted burrow posted a code wall, it is moved here --> https://hastebin.com/ewubujozit
when I add directly the dashboard renders fine
wne trying to use !include I get empty 'UNNAMED VIEW' tab
The file you !include will replace the statement exactly. So what you get there in the end is: ```yaml
views:
-
- title: Map
path: ...```
- title: Map
Hey everyone, looking for some pointers with the custom button card and CSS styling: how can i make A button like this: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bAUfDOtWU3XFC_B5OWp3jbMA
The outer glow and the icon in warm yellow when state==on
did you search the community? the master speaks https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-button-card/65981/944
Hi, I have a climate entity where I want to display a line chart for the current temperature over time on my dashboard. The Sensor card has a nice chart that would work, but the current temperature is not exposed as a sensor from the climate integration. Any suggestions?
Can anyone think of a way of having a card/dashboard of the colour wheel for a light? The kids have great fun changing the colour of lights and making them brighter and dimmer.
hi there. dumb question here. I have a power reading switch which allows me to read the voltage and current of our dishwasher
i want to create an entity that shows me whether the dishwasher is 'on'
i tried using input boolean + template switch together.
but the user can toggle the state (which doesn't make sense)
what is the best approach?
template-sensor https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/
Binary such in particular https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#binary_sensor
thank you, that's very helpful
i only knew about the template switch. didnt know i could do this many
this is great!
There's template pretty much everything https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#search/template
i did a template switch for my blinds, i am guessing i should look at the template cover intead.
That would make a lot of sense, yes.
thanks for your advice. saved me a lot of time 🙂
Hey, i just can't find correct search word on how to get those "balls" to be svisible in overview, i.e. person.x status ball, could someone kick me to right direction?
They're called "badges".
If you're using GUI mode, there's a tab for them in the options for the view (pencil symbol next to the view name at the top)
Perfect, found it! thanks!
How can I toggle multiple lights with one button card?
use a service call that toggles multiple lights
Or by making a light group https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.group/
...yeah...
i can embrace yaml config as much as anybody but groups seem like a glaring hole in what seems to be a big push towards getting as much stuff as possible into the ui
I made the group, do I now just fill in the group.example in the button card?
No. If you make a Light Group, you will get a light. entity.
So you just pick that one for the button card entity and you're Bobs nephew.
lol
Ok, I did but now it says it can't find that entity
- not available
Oh, after searching I found that I just need to reboot
Yes, the reboot solved it!
I've nepher heard it put as "you're bobs nephew" lol
Perfect, thank-you very much
has anyone installed this theme by chance? https://github.com/UI-Lovelace-Minimalist/UI
when I apply the theme there's only some slight color changes, nothing else. I followed the yaml install instructions but I feel like I'm missing something
Hello, how do I get opacity: 0.8 for text in markdown content?
it's not just a theme, you have to actually use the cards they're using
that actually looks quite nice
hm okay, maybe I just didn't write the config correctly
I installed button-card and added a few of those
but it just has the normal lovelace look
@hallow mango I got it, I wasn't sourcing the template correctly in my minimalist config. I incorrectly assumed it applied the theme similarly to how HACS does it. Thank you!
Hello can i make a visual border around a gridcard? also put a name on top of it? as i have some groups of lights in the grid cards. but on your phone it just looks like one big gridcard instead of them being seperate
Using the SWAKES info, there is a sensor that displays any pending updates within Supervisor (add-on store) by using the 'command line' platform. The sensor name for this one is sensor.supervisor_updates. The code is:
name: Supervisor updates
command: 'curl http://supervisor/supervisor/info -H "Authorization: Bearer $(printenv SUPERVISOR_TOKEN)" | jq ''{"newest_version":.data.version_latest,"current_version":.data.version,"addons":[.data.addons[] | select(.version != .installed)]}'''
value_template: "{{ value_json.addons | length }}"
json_attributes:
- newest_version
- current_version
- addons
This shows as 11 for me. I do not have any available updates but I do have 11 addons installed. Is this code wrong and showing me the addons installed rather than showing me available updates?
Do not use that
Use the entities provided by the Supervisor #integrations-archived
what entities?
can we temporarily 'hide' a complete view from within the UI? (use case: testing an integration, show all entities on a view, disable the integration, so hide the view. Until a next test is needed)
same would be useful for a single card obviously.
Just turn off the visibility for it for everyone. It can still be seen in edit mode when you want it.
thanks! nice hack 😉, though only for the view ofc..
Hi, I am trying to create image cards in lovelace, is it possible to create a folder where the images are named the same as the entities' friendly_name and in the image field do something similar to / local / images / {{friendly_name}}. png?
Thanks in advance
Hey folks, I've noticed that the top of some of the cards is cut off, does anyone have any ideas how to fix it? https://imgur.com/a/5pVQWaE
Are you using any custom cards that could interfere here? Are you suing the default theme (looks like it)?
I do have hacs with some custom cards, I'll try disabling them all
Disabled everything, still doing it 😦
looks fine in Google chrome, so I'm gonna conclude it's something weird wrong with my Firefox setup
Firefox?
@bright canyon Any of the cards containing an image can also take a camera stream. The easiest one to do what you want is probably picture-glance https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-glance/https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-glance/
yup
Cool it doesn't look like picture-entity has a default switch on it?
yep, and now it randomly stopped doing it, but nothing has changed. Clearly something weird was going on 🤷
I've setup my own camera entity type and gave it a TURN_ON_OFF bitmap but there's no switch that is showing up on the picture-entity lovelace card
Hi, i have a picture-elements card with some state-badges of a few moisture sensors i have. I want them to change color from green to red when the moisture % is below 15. Is that posible? I am struggeling to find anything on google
Thanks - i will give it a try
anyone know if this can be done?
Hello, It's possible in custom-button-card to set one button with power sensor and changing icon in different state. When power is up above 2000w it will show me washing machine icon and if power is below, about 500-600 it will show me dryer? It make sense?
Regards.
I'm looking to make a start/stop schedule card for indoor garden lights, ideally with a generic thermostat-type high/low slider, optionally with 2 separate horizontal sliders, but I can't find a way to get the former, and the float on the latter makes it so I can't use a 0-23 slider helper to indicate time of day. Is there an effective way to do this without going to an add-on?
Can I add a rate limit to keep the following service being called more than once in say 15sec?
icon: mdi:eye-off-outline
name: TV Off
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: remote.turn_on
service_data:
activity: PowerOff
entity_id: remote.upstairs_hub```
You could put that in a script and put a 15s delay at the end
Think I got it, thanks.
quick one, is there a way to force a resolution on tablet via config? as being a web guy I designed a layout at 1920x1200 size of screen of tablet, but it does not come out that way.
do you mean to force it into kiosk mode? with all side tab and top ui hidden?
nope I got those, just thought there might be some code to force resolution as there is with mobile
I had something like that done previously but with older android rooted tablet with 4.4 . used chrome with this https://github.com/KTibow/fullscreen-card https://github.com/maykar/kiosk-mode. and to hide notification and navigation bar I just ssh into tab and send adb command to disable them. It was all automated. I guess you could do the same to change the resolution. but iI am not so sure.
Ahh I see, sorry I don't know a native way to do that, BTW how did get the force resolution in mobile?
I want to have a tab that is panel: true and use a horizontal stack card inside to span the whole top of the card. The "normal" way to do this is put the horizontal card inside a vertical stack card.
Is there a "masonry stack" card that I can use instead of the vertical stack? I am using conditional cards and sometimes there are too many. After the horizontal card on top I want just the normal masonry layout.
I'm looking for a custom card for a humidifier/diffuser type of device
this type of device
the standard card doesn't quite fit the bill
Hi is there a way to open an ingress supported addon in "full screen"? What i mean is without the home assistant border on the sidebar or head.
Please mention my name with @ so i get a notification, thanks 🙂
Is it possible to reset a custom icon that was set via the UI?
hey, is there an easy way to get a list of state changes for an entity?
both the logbook and history seem to only show a crappy graph where I have to go pixel hunt for the actual state change to see the value
how would i copy my dashboard over to a nother users its dashboard?
also how do i kind of lock a user to a single dashboard?
as i am creating a dashboard for my phone atm and would like a user like mobile-1 to have a single dashboard. this user i can login to at my parrents and sisters device
You set a dashboard to admin only but not specify per user
You can however dictate which views in dashboards are visible at the user level
also where is the dashboard yaml located? and how do i copy it to a new dashboard?
ah i see at the three dots at the top right. i was looking using ssh
do you know whether there is a way to get TTS working with browser and app clients?
I want to toggle groups of elements via a button, like this https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/jeifpw/the_custombuttoncard_is_probably_my_favourite_and/g9f2n0l/ I found folt-entity-row, is there an other way?
Someone help me understand how to properly move things on my dashboard, can I... somehow just drag them into position. what is this weird up down thing
to answer my own question; its done with input_booleans for each section described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/g45638/seen_loads_of_great_lovelace_mobile_layouts_that/
Next question: is there a URL to just show a certain dashboard and nothing else?
@sour rover you mean a direct link to the dashboard or only the dashboard without sidebar?
yes thats what im looking for
that was not a yes/no question 😉
you can have different views for different devices, define one for your tablet and run app in kiosk mode
using the home assistant app? I was hoping it was just a URL
Is anyone aware of an issue where the "Overview" default lovelace dashboard only shows a few entities? I have this issue, and I can't figure out how to resolve it. I've checked and verified that it's still maintained by home assistant. I'm running Home Assistant in a docker container, version 2021.11.1. The frontend version is 20211103.0.
Sounds like you took control
That's what I thought too, but I've verified that I did not take control. It's still maintained by home assistant and warns me if I try to edit the dashboard.
If you want to revert to auto populated, go into the raw editor and delete everything
2021.11 introduced entity categories that causes some entities not to be shown
The release notes have more info
Ah, thanks. I'll look into that.
Hello, i'd like to add a Text helper to lovelave to send tts over echo devices, is there like a card, blueprint or something already done? i tried using templates but getting an error something about being depreciated
Hello i noticed something odd. sometimes wen i edit a card and use the code editor. i start typing but it will type from right to left fliping what i am typing.
ah oke
I'm having a bit of a struggle with HA today. It's HAOS running on a VM. It was working fine when I went to work yesterday, but when I came home, I couldn't get to the web interface and the MQTT broker wasn't responding. The machine is responding to ping requests and the console is working fine. I've subsequently rebooted the VM, restored an old working image, but same result. Has anyone any debug ideas, please?
Sounds like you need #330990055533576204 for help rather than the frontend?
@north prawn posted a code wall, it is moved here --> https://hastebin.com/yakexarudu
(Try posting your question again, but with the YAML samples in something like hastebin, as per the pins 😉 )
Hi all, loving Home Assistant so far!
I do have a question on using conditions in the entities list. In an entities list, I'm trying to show an entity row only if the last_changed state of a certain entity has been updated recently.
What I'm trying is applying the following condition, though this syntax does not work: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/ufikitirej.less
A similar though easier condition works like it should: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/ipafefager.less
How can I make sure that an entity is only shown if a certain condition is met, such as {{as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.light.kitchen_lights.last_changed) < 600}} ?
In Swedish we have an expression "friskt vågat, hälften vunnet" which basically means that if you just dare to try, you're halfway there already.
So kudos for trying - and it's a good attempt at that - but unfortunately it will not work.
As you can see from the documentation, only state and state_not conditions are allowed https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#conditional
You may want to look into auto-entities https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities
I'm baffled by the group descriptions. #330990055533576204 is for "Discussions only about the Home Assistant OS (image) install method (with HassOS)". I've not got any questions on install method. My question is about the absence of a GUI.
it sounds like it's more than the UI - you said that the MQTT broker wasn't working and it's largely DOA except for pings
this channel is about configuring the UI - not being able to access it is usually related to the installation method in some way
i'm really confused about how the ui mangles area, device, and entity names
it seems like if the name of a thing begins with the name of the thing that contains it, then that part of the name will be filtered out under certain circumstances
for example if you have area "Kitchen", device "Kitchen Sensor", with entities "Kitchen Temperature" and "Kitchen Sensor Battery" then the following will happen:
on the device configuration page the entities will show as "Kitchen Temperature" and "Battery". on the overview in the "Kitchen" area they show as "Temperature" and "Kitchen Sensor Battery", on the history graph they show as "Temperature" and "Battery", and on the entity list they show as "Kitchen Temperature" and "Kitchen Sensor Battery"
that's every possible combination of mangling and not mangling
the history graph is the most frustrating here, because every temperature sensor in my house shows as "Temperature" which means i can't tell which one is which on that graph
i think part of my confusion is caused by some parts of the UI not updating until the sensor checks in
hopefully this is just limited to the history graph, and that will update when i get new readings, in which case, i think my naming scheme works
yes that seems to have worked 🙂
Is there a way to use an entity card, so that when you click on it, it navigates to another page in the dashboard?
I want to show the temprature from my thermostat and when you click on it, it either pulls up that thermostat control, or another dashboard page. I would do this instead of putting teh full thermostat control on the page.
Hi. I've got Home Assistant Container running with docker. I want to add an Add-On... Docs say I need to go to the Supervisor panel, but I don't see that in my front end. Am I missing something?
You’re missing that you cannot install addons or have the supervisor in a container installation
Follow this discussion: #449717345808547842 message
Makes sense. Thanks for enlightening me 🙂
I'm using the https://github.com/benct/lovelace-multiple-entity-row and I only want to display the entity_picture part of 2 other entities, however I can't get the picture to show, only the URL for the picture.
Any ideas on where I need to go to force the picture to show?
My end goal is to display the State from 1 entity, and 2 x icons from other entities ( Next sports game, plus logos of the home/away team.)
The entity_category feature (https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/11/03/release-202111/#entity-categorization) is a nice addition. Is there a way in a custom card to filter out i.e. switches (in a template) based on category, for example to show all switches of a device that are 'config'?
That information is a part of the entity registry entries so yeah, filter as much as you want/need
you'll need to provide the url to the image option, so most likely you'll need to use something like config-template-card to template that value out
Thanks iantrich, I"ll take a look at it.
The description of this channel makes sense, then. Thanktyou.
I'm struggling with card-mod and state-switch. I'm trying to create the right selector to style the wrapper of state-switch, because it's blocking off the cards' box-shadows.
Not with the Entity card, only the Entities card (with that you can control the action).
hey all, is there any way i can set a card in lovelace to refresh it's contents every 5min or so?
You shouldn't need to. It will update when the state of the entities in the card update.
It doesn't. It's the Shopping List. It doesn't update without a manual refresh. There are a few posts about it but no solutions that I have found yet
I'm not familiar with that particular card. I'm guessing it does not actually use an entity to store the list. Which is why it is not updating. Not sure how to fix that sorry.
It subscribes to a websocket, listening for new shopping list updates. So as long as the connection is alive, it should update the card
i think my cards are stroking out: https://i.imgur.com/qU53Twq.png
- the entities, even though are the same, have the full long name sometimes.
- this total is showing the date.
- this card is in the same order as the others but not even close to displaying the correct entity. can see it better here: https://i.imgur.com/5ugI8cy.png
If anyone happens to be interested: (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/issues/20633)
Convert date from YYYY.MM.DD to DD name.DD.MM name.YYYY & Parts of the day - To view the current part of the day (example in the Slovenian language)
If you just want to save and share a piece of code, I'd suggest using https://gist.github.com/ instead. If you don't have an actual question or suggestion for addition to the documentation (which should be in English), that issue is dangerously close to being considered Spam.
The forums are also a good place to share and discuss your ideas.
I'm sorry. Because I’m new I don’t even know how to do it properly so the code isn’t copyrighted or something. I was angry because the date was shown to me in the American Forat (2021.12.08) instead of (08.12.2021) the EU. I played around a bit to show me the days and months by name. In Slovenia we know more periods of the day than the rest of the world. At least that's how it seems to me. I also found it nice to see what part of the day it was.
I was looking at (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/time_date/) and it seemed a little too general, so I wanted to make it easier for someone who might be interested.
The display in the frontend should be formated according to your browsers localization settings.
There's also https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tod/, which solves the same problem in a different way.
I noticed when I changed the language on the tablet. I prefer to use the original English. However, it does not show the bottom and the month by name. But the code I posted does that. In addition, it shows what part of the day it is (night, morning, day, evening ...)
In Slovenia we know more periods of the day than the rest of the world. At least that's how it seems to me.
Anyway, if I did something wrong I can also delete this post. My intention is not self-promotion or anything like that. I myself spent quite some time to achieve the desired effect.
I suggest you share it here: https://community.home-assistant.io/c/projects/9. Github is for reporting issues with the documentation, so that post will be closed eventually. In the forums, more people will see it too.
Is it better to post each case separately or all together? In principle, everything is tied to a date.
and time
The dashboard looks like this:
Wow. How do I add a picture?
Thanks for suggestion.
is the configuration > frontend the place on the forum to look for help with cards/entity display issue?
yes or just ask here
i posted on the forum for others on the net: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/entities-in-cards-are-not-displayed-properly/365029 but also up here: #frontend-archived message
ive restarted the plugs from the tasmota interface and restarted the HA server as well
can a card layout have tabs at the top to switch between sub cards? or is that only something custom cards can do?
ya i was looking at that. how does using 3rd party things, in this case cards, do with HA upgrades over time? do they frequently break or break HA?
so been messing around with custom button card and shades today I like what I have discovered without the hetic {{coding}}
Is it possible to plot a total_increasing in a graph? (e.g. mini-graph-card)
I am looking to plot my gas total usage per date against the outdoor average temperature per date
Hello I was wondering if someone may be able to help:
The last action that I performed was re-linking my mobile app device_tracker entity to my person entity. When clicking back to the Dashboard, it is missing entirely. Clicking Edit does not give me the ability to add cards, so it appears the dashboard is still configured just not visible.
Docker Container Log:
https://pastebin.com/JsUD6ZuX
Does anybody know how to show a graph instead of color for sensor history ?
Give the sensor aunit_of_measurement.
hey guys, is there a way in lovelace to create a card with variable content, say, a grid card that contains buttons only for the lights that are currently on?
I don't know if the UI can be programmed to be dynamic in that way
Thanks for that !
Auto entities custom card
@tacit cave @errant plover thank you both! Let search it in HACS
haha ditto!
I'm trying to use a hacs frontend custom card, but HA say's custom element doesn't exist, and when I try to use "Open source" on the card in hacs i get a 404. I'm using an UI controlled dashboard and have tried reinstalling hacs a few times, and the component a few times..
Was the calendar all ways in the side bar or was it added when i entered CalDav into my configuration.yaml, I cant remember it being there and its stayed even after deleting the caldav entry.
It will be there if you have an integration that adds it
@dark dirge Ok Thank you
Hi Guys... new to the Home Assistant thing and struggling to figure out how to change some of the settings on this 'Overview' page... for example it's only showing 3 columns but I would like to change this to 4, possibly 5 columns. How can I do this?
Minimise the left menu and you'll probably get 4 columns. Otherwise this gives you a bit more control: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card
Would there be a script that lets me drag and drop each card so I can place it where I want it to sit?
This up and down arrow stuff is annoying when it doesn't sit how you want it to sit
Nope.
can't seem to get 5 columns appearing for this script
You need a wider screen
I found this so this is probably why... I'm sure 37" is plenty long with lots of realestate space left to use still
Unfortunately it is currently broken
If i want a button that triggers multiple automations can i do that?
You probably just want the button to call a script which does whatever you want
Manually triggering an automation from anywhere is rarely a good strategy
How come?
I have an automation that i sometimes run manually so i have it on a button as well. No i split that automation into several other automations but i'd still like the button to call all of them
Because you should call a script instead
just have your script call the automations in sequence
or parallel
or whatever new fancy script things there are as well...I just realized I have ZERO scripts
how is that possible
Or put whatever the automatons do into a script and call that from your automations and from your button
ok but that means i need to learn scripting which i don't currently know.
The action of an automaton is a script
Also i asked why is it a bad idea.
it's very similar to automations
scripting is the same as automation prettymuch
automations are meant to be well...automated... 😉
scripting only gets more complex if you want to use parameters, and for this you wouldnt
haha alright.
in the end though, there are no strict rules on how you get things done. whatever works for you. but a script makes the most sense for what you're asking
trying the script way now. What's the call service for calling a script using a button?
script.turn_on
you can just put the entity in lovelace i belive
script.your_script_id as entity
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: script.run_heater_automations
?
TIL
is there a way to filter the entities by multiple searches/filters? eg... name includes "TRV" and type sensor ?
im just talking about the config/entities page, nothing to do with dashboard/cards
tap_action:
action: toggle
entity: script.all_off
why a toggle?
That won’t work
it does work
no idea why it made a toggle tbh, i just went into gui editor and choose button then my script
Oh, yeah. It will. Just weird
alright. My code worked as well!
script.turn_on is generally better tho, because if used in automations your automation keep running
with script.entity_id it waits for the script to finnish before resuming the automation
ofc, sometimes waiting for it to finnish is exactly what you want
not sure i understood how to adapt my code to what you said @muted saddle
Any idea's why a sensor would not show up in the dashboard?
all my other sensors got added automatically
but this one (outdoor temp) seems to be gone for some reason
while the sensor itself it still there if I check
Is it possible to have system units set to imperial, but have a card display temperature in Celsius?
hey
how do you find an device id?
im trying to get this kodi card that is almost completely working to work for the few buttons that don't
i feel like the device id that was on one of the non-working buttons was copied and pasted by me when i pasted the code
you can get it with a template: {{ device_id('switch.fr_table_lamp') }}
if that's what you mean
it's not really intended to be consumed by humans or specified directly
right lol
more general question then if you don't mind fielding it...
how would u go about troubleshooting a card?
the problem could either be at the card code level or in one of the scripts it calls right?
i wish i remembered where i had pulled the code from for the card
oh cool its working
instead of editing the code i used the ui part of it
and just selected kodiLiving as the device
and yeah it filled in the device id
must have been a different id previously
I'd like to make something so subtitles go to a device like a tablet or phone instead of the tv the video is being played on
this seems like something u could do right?
have you used a shopping list at all?
I have a rather unusual issue. I am using Fully Kiosk on my android tablet to view HA. I have a number of Apex-charts and these display perfectly, with 30 days of solar power etc. The same screen on Chrome on my PC shows only the last 17 days, the rest of the chart is blank.
hey guys, wondering if someone knows a good method of setting up HA behind dslite and duckdns. i am kinda lost. so far i have duckdns enabled, nginx setup and i am able to browse to my HA instance locally using http. once i switch to https i am getting an ssl error that keeps me away from the site.
sadly cant post pictures here

Hi! I am having problem with Lovelace, I can't seem to add a card to the dashboard since my "By Card" view is empty, any idea why is that?
I have a sensor via espHome, that is unit_of_measurement: "kPa" state_class: "measurement" device_class: "pressure" in Lovelace, this works and displays as I expected and values and units (kPa) are in line with what the sensor should be measuring. I added a Statistics Graph Card to track mean values from the sensor, but it is displayed in psi instead. The values are correct just a conversion from kPa to psi. Example, the sensor displays 1.5 kPa but the statistics graph displays 0.21 psi. What can I do to change this statistics graph to kPa instead of psi?
Or maybe there is a better way to setup my espHome sensor in the first place?
guess it's a frontend thing: any way to change the HA website icon (the one that shows in the browser tab)? It annoys me everytime I have like 30 tabs open with various documentation pages and I click like forever to find the right tab again.
for a valid certificate, you also need letsencrypt (well it is in the same package). but to get that to work, your duckdns must be working first. Check router port forwards, and when testing use your phone on mobile data rather than testing it with your pc and the duckdns address as not every router can do that correctly. as soon you can connect from outside, it will be able to setup letsencrypt as well.
Can i change the label of a slider-entity-row? Can’t figure out how
Nevermind i’m stupid. Just use the name prop
Hi all, anyone has any recommendations for a horizontal curtain card for lovelace?
Just updated to 2021.12,
I'm missing the top part of the states screen ? not able to manually set or change state or attributes ?
Is this a bug or a feature ?
Is it possible to add a button that takes me to a specific page in my URL? Nvm. The new button card does it magically with the navigate action!
It is now an expandable / collapsible section. Clicking on it, will show the top section.
Oh wow, didnt seem like a clickable thing, just a string of text
thanks for pointing that out @rich eagle
perhaps an improvement for 2021.12.1 😛
is there a way to hook the "open web ui" button of studio code server to the left side of HA
so I dont have to go to settings -> addons,backups -> studio code server -> open web ui
Or hook stuff on the left side in general, like websites etc
@pearl scaffold enabe "show in sidebar" in the addon options 😉
the same page where you press "open web ui"
It's one of the toggles
I believe there is, but it was some time since I used this
@pearl scaffold https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/panel_iframe/
is there a way to pin shortcuts to the sidebar ? if i do the panel_iframe, i have to reenter my password when trying to get to a different space in my ha instance
Hi everybody, maybe I'm just too dumb - but with 2021.12 I can't assign my devices to my Areas (the dropdown in the "Device Edit" screen is "big, but empty") and the possibility to add an area at the time of adding a device is gone too.
Just want to be sure before opening an "official" ticket that I'm still "capable enough" to use the HA GUI 🙂
I'm using several "Test/Dev" instances to keep my live system "clean" - and this just popped up when I added a WLED to my freshly upgraded Test Instance...
Create a new dashboard under Configuration. You can assign it to the right shortcuts bar.
I am wanting to setup a simple way for my gardener to edit my sprinkler timers without having full access to HASS. Was thinking of running a second instance with only the sprinklers on it and having it setup in kiosk mode with the front end being limited.
Then linking that instance to my main setup. That way I can put a QR code on the sprinkler that links to it without full access or limiting my main setup.
If anyone has thoughts / issues that would arise if I did this
Magical lovelace cards are great when they work, but in the new Area card, it appears that the Temperature sensor on a climate control will not appear as the Temperature on the area card?
Do i need to make a template sensor and isolate the Temperature as its own sensor?
Same problem here, I have climate sensor, cover, lights, and different other things but the only thing that shows up on the card is the light icon.
ok so now that the advanced menu has dissapeared, how to assign an area to an item that has no unique ID
or even better, is there a syntax to add a unique ID via the customize.yaml
and @brittle trout , I was able to extract the current_temperature attribute from the climate. And make a template sensor with a unique ID to assign it to a room
Thanks, I would expect the temperature to be extracted from climate directly. I already have a template sensor though for temperature so I just need to figure out how to assign it to a room (I started using HA a few days ago)
It need a unique_id
i was hoping to actually allocate the entire aircon unit to the room, my temperature sensors have already been brought across (modified xiaomi units)
I did as well, but it wont do anything. Sounds like something that should be fixed in the future imo
is there a way to add a border around the grid card
the area cards have so much promise, but still lacking majorly. i almost started to fully redesign my user interfaced base on them
Me too, i wanted to use ut as the default view, and then have them navigate ti detail views. But im missing covers (garage door, would be Nice with garage door icon), and then i have to make all the temp sensors from the climates
hopefully in future revisions. even with the lighting switch, it would be nice if you could click +hold to bring up a list of lights in that room,
Absolutely! Like a popup meny
Anyone with Nest integration having issues with 2021.12?
it was good that that i could get my Dwains Dashboard running again cause ive just reverted back
Rly cool tho to be able to show the Google Nest Hello on the area card
Works very well
Is there any documentation for the New Area cards anywhere?
This panel-redirect is an under-communicated feature: https://gist.github.com/balloob/580deaf8c3fc76948559c5963ed4d436 I've been missing that for years. 🙂
I think I have been playing around too much lol https://vimeo.com/655818394/5479849dfa
Is the edit zone page broken in 2021.11.5 or is it just for me?
hello, so i'm trying to add a floorplan to my dashboard. I noticed that a URL is used. Can i use this internal? This isn't working nor with a ./
type: picture-elements
elements:
- type: state-badge
entity: binary_sensor.updater
style:
top: 32%
left: 40%
image: /grondplannen/gelijksvloers-nieuwbouw-afmetingen.png
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements
is your friend.
to use a local file, put it in a www subdirectory of your config directory and access it via /local path
-> <configDir>/www/floorplan.png
-> /local/floorplan.png
thx
no promises, i didn't use that yet. 😄
@tawny pulsar posted a code wall, it is moved here --> https://hastebin.com/ocexoruhar

heh. i'm trying to make a rather simple card:
- type: conditional
conditions:
- condition: numeric_state
entity: climate.masterbedroom
attribute: temperature
below: 10
card:
type: markdown
content: It's COLD!
All i get is "Conditions are invalid". What did I miss here?
Not sure if frontend or other underlying code, but it looks like the UI doesn't have a correct error message if the addon doesn't support the CPU architecture (I'm running armv7/armv7l, but the addon only suppports aarch64 and amd64). The addon in question is https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository/blob/master/jupyterlab/config.yaml
From quick look using github search it looks like I'm getting "addon.dashboard.not_available_version", but I'd expect to get "addon.dashboard.not_available_arch"
Tried to also look for code, but couldn't find any using github search.
Wanted to ask if this is expected behaviour and if not, under which github repo should I file an issue?
Since I cannot send an image here, then a link to the screenshot https://imgur.com/dGtkzIJ
I first thought it is broken in 2021.12, but now I find it is broken in 2021.11 already (at least for me)
@wanton trail are you able to edit devices and assign them to existing (or new) areas/zones ?
it even seems to be broken in 2021.10.0
at least the feature to edit devices and assign them to zones/areas
in 2021.12.0, is anyone else seeing this odd overlap in area pages? https://imgur.com/wlziqYd
like there's no padding between the cards
@wanton trail seems to be a browser issue - opening HA in firefox it ssems to work....
When I using the the device name as prefix it will be removed in the device page. Where is this behavior documented ?
Hey guys, there's something weird at my dashboard maybe someone can help me.
when I connect to my user everything looks good https://imgur.com/EsOZxdg
but after a few minuets of use this happens https://imgur.com/oWoEHvb and all the squares become weird and big and not fitting in my tablet dashboard and its kinda annoying 🙂 (if i log out and log in everything will be fine for the first few minuets again)anyone know what could cause it?
Is it just me or is this new area card kinda flawed? I was expecting more customization like being able to chose which light I want to turn on instead of every single one of them inside that area. Also, my AC units are not displaying on the card nor my media player entities...
This is the area card: https://i.imgur.com/5d90Z2e.jpeg
This was done manually: https://i.imgur.com/qffQTEX.jpeg
Feels like a downgraded picture glance card tbh
Hello, with Cover i can change it up and down. but when i press down and stop by 50% i cant click down only up. the positions also shown 100 or 0 nothing between is this normal?
Depends on what your cover can do. Mine can report their actual position, so HA synchronises to that and the buttons behave correctly.
Ah ok thank you how can i check this?
under attribute i find current position i think this is it ?
Hello, I have the next alarm imported from my phone to home assistant with a sensor. I created an entity which shows me the time on my lovelace, but it also shows the date. I want it only to show the time, is there any way u guys are aware of?
Got a problem with some code here... https://wtools.io/paste-code/b8q7
The purpose of the code is to turn on my bedroom tv automatically when a casting event occurs...
The TV in question is a dumb tv controlled by a Broadlink RM4 mini
I'm using input booleans and input selects to determine the TV's state
And using the choose options to test those conditions
It has been working fine up until v ery recently
I'm in the wrong section, aren't I?
Is it possible to automate lovelace? specifically i want to switch to a camera feed when a motion sensor triggers. So far i have found no service calls so i think the answer is no
The best i have seen is cast.show_lovelace_view but I do think this is fits my needs
that might work, not quite the same as switching to a different view.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-add-clickable-url/89541/2 possible to get the favicon of each weblink and show it instead of specifying a local icon?
ah! Conditional card is what I needed, should have looked harder
Upgraded to latest version and wondering where the customizations page is now under redesigned settings 🤔
it's gone, you need to do it in yaml now
There's no way to assign a device/entity to more than one area, is there? For example I have my cameras in "Security Cameras" area, but with the new area cards you can have a camera view, that means I'd have to move the camera in the living room to the living room area, but that interferes with the security camera area stuff
correct
a "security camera" area sounds like a group, but it depends on what you're using it for
I'm just going with my skill level 😂
HA has come such a long way though. For me it's gone from 'how the heck' to "i can figure this out' 🙂
Thanks, for some reason on mobile I guess it doesn't show the tabs/etc
hey @dark dirge can you tell me if the grid card can have styles added to it, specifically a border?
https://vimeo.com/655818394/5479849dfa trying to get some sort of border around my cards, tried to the glow around the grid card like others on my pages in this video but that did not work with grid card for some reason? any pointers
Why after update there are only icons in "configuration" tab?
Ok, nevermind
Just had to refresh
their simplifying the ui, i know its a change but once you know where it all is still its ok
No idea
Generally, don't tag people to ask for help - it comes across as bad manners, you’re demanding somebody answers you. It’s different if you’re thanking somebody, obviously. If you do tag somebody keep it polite and respectful. Remember that everybody is a volunteer, and nobody has to help you, and people may block you.
Similarly, please don’t DM (direct message) people asking for help. It also comes across as demanding, and means that others can’t learn from what you do.
Finally, please keep tagging people in replies to a minimum. That too can become annoying very quickly and should be used only when it's necessary (such as if it's been a long time, or there's multiple conversations going on). When using Discord's new Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.
ahh sorry bud np wont do again, just saw you active and just wanted to ask why you were here 😛
For the past month, I've been having this odd glitch where my play / pause buttons are invisible in all my lovelace elements. You can watch a screen record of my problem here. Anyone know how I can fix this?: https://watch.screencastify.com/v/0Illta6G4wbSiowChX0n
Is there a way to vertically align a markdown card? I have markdown card with text and it's centered to the top of the other cards in the vertical stack
And recommendation on how to better seek help for this question?
I've got to be missing something. In the new interface for 2021.12.0 I can't find customizations for entities. I can edit the customize.yaml file directly of course still, but does anyone know where this went in the interface?
Config --> devices and services --> along the top, entities ?
That's where you find them, but there used to be a specific attribute override customization at the bottom of the configuration page. I'm not sure how to show a screen shot here in discord.
Ooh right. I know what you're talking about now. hmm
Since latest update the frontend is bugging when i try to create an automation, it just goes back to the list of automations. Using Firefox, just tested in Chrome and it doesn't happen. So tried to run it in Firefox safe mode with no plugins or anything, and still does the same... What changed?
That has been removed as explained in the release notes.
Please clear your cache.
@rich eagle already done... Fixes it temporarily, i can open the create dialog ONCE, then if i go back to the list and try to create one again, it does the same thing again
Clean Firefox with no addons
Chrome works without issue for some reason
It must be using local storage or something and that is somehow implemented differently in the 2 browsers, making it bug out in firefox
I'm trying to put a push button next to an automation entity in the front end, I assumed from the docs, and images, that this would essentially be a replacement of the toggle, but I don't see how to make that happen?
hey guys I find the climate interface to be confusing - it shows setpoint adjustment options for the cooling and heating setpoints. I was hoping there was a way to only display the setpoint with the adjustment arrows for the current mode (so only the cooling setpoint if I am in cooling mode, and heat setpoint if I am in heating mode) Any thoughts on this?
any idea why this style isn't working anymore?
- type: button
...
name: Netflix
icon: si:netflix
show_state: false
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color: #E50914
}
just updated to 2021.12.1 so I'm assuming --paper-item-icon-color isn't used anymore
is there a way to use a conditional within a card?
target_temp_low:
{{if mode = heat}} hide: true {{/if}}
target_temp_high:
{{if mode = cool}} hide: true {{/if}}
something like this?
is there a way to delete multiple devices?
ive got a ton of devices autoadded via rtl433 autodiscovery that I would like to remove, i decided to hardcode the rtl433 sensors
I get a weird error for home assistant
It just says unable to connect to home assistant even tho it clearly is because
Doesn't matter
Figured the problem
ISP DNS not updating, can't actually access it while on my WiFi
HA doesn't seem to be starting. I see a message that reads "Home Assistant is starting, not everything will be available until it is finished.", but it never goes away. The logs are quiet. What could be wrong?
you'll need something like my config-template-card for that
Same thing here - Firefox Clean Cache and can't create an empty automation. Flashes up for second and then its back to the Automations list. This has been happening to me for a while (since 2021.11) and I could get around it before but the new pop up doesn't allow that trick anymore. Keyboard tabbing and hitting enter doesn't register so stuffed at the moment.
Happens in Private browser tab as well so unlikely to be the cache😩
@hardy sky even happens if you hold shift while launching browser opening it in safe mode
Is the yaml config for area cards available somewhere? The area card is not listed here: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/cards/
Is there a better version of conditional card? one that can handle numeric_state aswell for "above" and "below" instead of just exact state?
stupid question maybe but can you embed this button under your cards of type media-control?
type: grid
cards:
- type: media-control
entity: media_player.tv_living
- type: button
...
name: Netflix
icon: si:netflix
show_state: false
- type: media-control
entity: media_player.tv_boven
smthing like this? or where did you use this button?
Tnx, just tried in FF and as u say, it works. In chrome however (both on win and ubuntu) its total broken.
Hey guys, sorry if it's not the best channel to ask this, but from HA 2021.12.0+ I'm receiving the error in lovelace saying: "Custom element doesn't exist: hui-horizontal-stack-card" I have the card-mod installed correctly and I don't understand why, someone can share any hint? Thx in advance!
@worldly sundial did u try to clear the cache? Had some issues to until i fully cleared the browser cache
Hi all, question regarding sizing of lovelace cards. I am trying to get my weather radar to be bigger on my screen. The height is fine, but i cant seem to get it any wider for a nice view on my tablet. Tried all sorts of things, different cards, grid, vertical stack etc. Can seem to get it to go wider. I am seeing some dashboards that have a bigger weather radar, so it should be possible. Hope someone can point me in the correct direction 🙂
Yup, double checked and still the error appears 😅
hi, is there a way to put a few devices in one folder or so? that you have not the tiny taskbar at the top in the app? Like the the card add on only that its open an tap or show few devices
When editing the dashboard, click the pencil at the top - next to the view name - and select "Panel" from the drop-down in the window that pops up.
Yep even when holding down shift
I have a couple of zoneminder cameras in my setup, and I would like to add those to the right area. But I can not do that using the GUI, as they have no unique ID. Is there another way to add them to an area? (whoops, I thought I was in #integrations-archived )
I ended up using the conditional card to show it one of two ways. Not sure if this is the most efficient 🤷♂️
That works
they're in a grid card and work just fine... just lost their coloring with this latest release
Yes it works, but the stupid card doesn't work now when the one thing is hidden (simple thermostat) https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat/issues/265
so wasted my time 😦
Womp womp 😜
right
@polar kelp Tnx, that is a lot better 🙂
Team....any trick to get non-user device trackers on the map? Easiest just to create a user that does not have the ability to login and pin the device tracker element to that user?
If you want the default map, yes. On a map card you can put any device_tracker entity.
Cool. Thank you @polar kelp
Have started playing with the Traccar add-on pulling in GPS devices permanently attached to vehicles.
Hi all, I'm looking at the new Area Card for Lovelace. But most of my room/area level relevant entities are configured through configuration.yaml (like min/max sensors for instance) rather than from an integration, and thus don't have a unique_id... Is there any other way, or plan, to add areas to every entities? At the moment, that area card looks promising but is not yet too useful... Thanks a lot, cheers
why is it when I access the demo front end (https://demo.home-assistant.io/#/energy) from my laptop it shows with the wrong timeframe (https://imgur.com/a/kbt5ovS). It works correctly when i access it from mobile though?
No plans that I know of or workarounds. Best way would be to submit a PR for it. Would probably looks similar to the way something like input_boolean does it, I would imagine as it still supports yaml
Oh not sure im a big fan of this new menu
okay
Hi all, hope you are well. I have started exploring into home assistant and got it working in my raspberry pi last night, but really struggled with editing the Lovelace... I have been researching for about 4 hours going through the forums, watching videos and googling, but I can't just find a simple way to edit my dashboard. I have come from sharp tools where you can just set a grid size and drag & drop "entities", resize images etc but this doesn't seem apparent on home assistant? I had a look online at what some of you have created and I have come to the conclusion that a. You need to be proficient in programming with yaml (as there is a lack with the visual options) and B. That you cannot use other people's designs. I though that they would be templates but that turned out to be something different, and the same with themes. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction? Cheers, gatron
There is no point and click UI. You'll need to understand some of yaml. Themes will transfer from setup to setup, however they probably don't do what you expect. They only change colors.
Some of the UI elements are configurable with a nice preview. Some are not. It's hit or miss. Most built in cards have a UI associated with them. As soon as you get to a complex setup, you typically need to use yaml.
Still, the UI is going to be selections (Think dropdown and properties). Not drag/drop and resizing.
does anyone know if there is a way to add a boarder around the edge of grid card?
cardmod
always cardmod
good rule of thumb: Are you modifying a card's look? If yes -> cardmod, if no -> not cardmod
any pointers on that as I have cardmod running withing the card, its a bit of big one as I have grid, column 1, then vertical stack and then grid again.
well, grid card is probably similiar to vertical stack, and that means you'll need to use modcard
I see, thank you. So there is no way to import other people's designs easily?
no i'm not joking, it's just a card that you use when adjusting cards that don't have a base card element IIRC
so set cardmod as type at top of all?
it depends on what you're trying to do. But the likelyhood is very low because everyone has different sensors and the UI's are designed around what people have
I don't remember off the top of my head. It's a custom card that comes with card mod and is only needed for unique scenarios
https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/655818394/5479849dfa skip to 47 seconds I am trying to wrap each room
and it's called modcard
Even though you don't know what you're doing, expand the "I know what I'm doing" for an example.
the doc's don't know you're lying to it
I'd expect the config to look something like:
type: custom:mod-card
card:
type: grid
...
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
border: solid;
}
Thank you that got it
had to use
type: custom:mod-card
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
border: solid;
border-color: teal;
border-radius: 20px;
}
card:
type: grid
no, there are a few things out there that try their best to provide a user with a consistent design approach for their setup but they are far from easy:
e.g. dwain's theme and lovelace minimalist
easiest thing I can think of is the homekit style card
It would be nice if HA could make themes be... more themey
Like winamp was back in the day
or somehow unify the css code across all cards
or am I showing my age with that winamp comment
🤷♂️ i used winamp and it was awesome
It's still made!
that gif was really annoying...removed
I loved winamp and had a little display in my media centre displaying track etc running from my printer port ......
I don't nkow. It looks all flashy now too
ugh, I don't like the site, but if you scroll down you can get to the community and the download links
Time for Lovelace 2.0
Is that a thing?
time to work on mando custom pc, then move onto custom HA overkill build for next year 😛
no, but it should be. Lovelace pretty much copied the States UI cards into Lovelace, which was a bad start. Too many cards imo. Should trim them down to the essentials and make custom cards first-class citizens
That does seem like a good approach
However peeps would get maaaad
Just look at the supervisor change
It was moved and the world is over for some peeps
icon_outerglow would be a nice addon 😛
People are always mad, but If it was up to me, I'd leave it how it is, more or less and start something new as an add-on like Home Panel. The bundled UI shouldn't even have Lovelace IMO. Should just be the configuration stuff
Maybe the area card is actually a good start at getting there from the back
ok I give up, i was hunting through the nas to find some image from the early 90s of my media pc with parallel lcd with winamp display lol.
For the less cards part, I mean.
yeah, I picked up what you were saying. the difference in card styles/shapes/sizes is what makes things like mobile displays/drag n' drop UIs/styling so difficult. the area card is a great start and hopefully more is put on that and we push that as the best solution for most
OK so I will ask here since the people on Facebook have been rude about it. How do I, or can I customize an entities "device_class" through the UI or does this now have to be done via YAML?
it now has to be done via yaml
Darn ok, seems a bit like a set backwards but ok. The patch notes made it sound like some of that could be done through the UI.
Does anyone know if there is a way to assign a non integration entity like a template for instance to an area?
Hello. im new to this chat. i need some help with the recorder: to make it recording for 1 month only. is this the right topic to ask?
Afraid that can't be done right now.
The recorder #integrations-archived? Not quite the right place, no. But close.
thank you
Under configuration, there used to be a way to customize entities, like setting friendly name, device class, etc. I upgraded to 2021.12.1, and I can no longer find it.
The customize menu was removed, it can only be done through yaml now.
I came from #automations-archived , about 4 out of 5 times that i create an automation and hit the "Empty automation" button, the new automation screen shows up for about 100ms and then it goes back to the overview again
I'm using latest firefox, chrome does not have this issue
write up an issue against the frontend and include F12 dev tool logs from firefox.
Yeah that's the thing, those don't actually show anything
they just show a get request to google, for my avatar
🤷♂️ just write it up and see what happens and use chrome for the meantime
if clearing cache or refreshing the page doesn't solve it, there's not much that can be done immediately.
roll up your sleeve and get to yamling. If the entity has a unique_id, you can adjust it in the UI through the entities page.
hey, what's a nice go to dashboard to copy?
just throwing cards on a page looks messy, especially on desktop/tablet
Here's my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y6rhwr5Y8c
Easy, Incredible Looking Lovelace Dashboard built using the Grid Card! Super EASY! No YAML files (4 small YAML edits in the editors). No Custom Cards. I call it the Tile Dashboard.
YAML (Though I do recommend using the UI editors to learn): https://pastebin.com/sGSWwtBU
Like what I do? Sponsor me: https://github.com/sponsors/zsarnett
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬...
I mostly have lights and a few sensors, nothing fancy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9LjEV5dgMQ&t=5s&ab_channel=EverythingSmartHome
Here's a good video showing 5 different dashboards to use as a starting point
Does Home assistant have a place to tell it which units it converts and which ones it does not? I have a sensor in kPa, but my general configuration is set to "Imperial". Some cards convert kPa to PSI, and others do not. I ultimately would prefer to keep everything in kPa.
looks like I just need More Grids
hmm having a look at the area card wouldnt it make more sense to allow entities to be associated with those? eg cameras most of mine dont have a super-seeding device or am I missing something?
am I asking bad questions or breaking rules in the way I ask them?
keep in mind people respond to what they know
thats 100% fine.
grids are awesome! 🙌
I just want to make sure its not for other reasons that are in my power
Do you have an example of a card that does and does not convert? I could take a look at the code
sure - you could use templates and unify it across different types I would think instead of converting - bit more work but wont break
That probably wouldn't work, actually. You'd want to keep the unit_of_measurement setting for the template sensor too, and then that would be converted instead.
fair point
I am using the statistics graph card. My sensor is from esphome and measures in kPa. This displays ok in an entity card, but displays as PSI in the statistics graph card.
it converts it, I presume because of my general settings of "imperial"
but I would prefer to see the data in kPa like how its coming form the sensor itself.
Probably, but I would expect the entities card to do the same conversion.
it actually doesn't
which is my struggle
unit_of_measurement: kPa
friendly_name: Vapor Pressure Deficit Air
icon: mdi:waves-arrow-up
device_class: pressure
state is currently displaying in kPa when using the entities card. (I would send a screenshot, but its not working)
@jolly briar Maybe you should take a look at this and see if it agrees with your observations. https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/9463
The card does not convert it, but the 2 different cards uses 2 different tables in the database.
The statistics are all converted to be the same for each entity it records so it can actually use it
great, thank you, I will take a look.
ohhh.
what tells the statistics table to be converted to PSI?
The recorder integration
And that goes by the system unit setting, I guess?
Wait... I might have that mixed up, it might be the entity model that does it, I don't remember
Anyway, they are different, and that is expected
Is there any way a user can tweak the expected result?
no
I'd consider this a frontend not-quite-bug. The presentation should be in the same unit regardless.
Yeah, all should use the statistics table
Is there anyway, I can force a statistic to be in kPa instead of PSI?
it's way faster
Not for the frontend. That's an extra websocket call just to display the current value.
I came across in some documentation that I now how lost... that there are different settings for "device_class"
maybe I am wrong
pressure, pressure_psi, pressure_hPa?
Use the history card instead of the statistics card and it will match
ok, that will have to work for now, thank you for the assistance on this
https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card or this, it's prettier
that is very nice.
yeah... this mini-graph is about perfect for what I need
and its working the way I would have liked
ohhh i have some questions about the mini-graph-card too 😅
Is there a way to display a log of when an event was triggered?
you mean a switch on/off ?
No, like home assistant events
sorry, this i dont know
okay, thanks anyway
I was hoping this was a common use case, like my doorbell fires an event and I'd like to see a log of it
I could have sworn a new binary sensor was added for capturing events...but not finding it. There are custom things, and then you could put that in the logbook card
don't @wheat current , I almost found it...
NOOOO
ugh, I found it in the state of the open home video but not the docs, @wheat current ...I've failed
#shame
the grids turned out great, thanks!
Are the new area cards customizable at all? Or is it just you get what you get?
you can customize the picture/camera feed
and i'm sure you can do some card-mod magic too
Ah, but no way to get it to, for instance, stop trying to average the dew point temp sensor and the normal temp sensor?
that sounds like a bug
fair point
Good day folks. Im trying to find out if its is possible to change the icons on the alarm panel card in HA? In one of the recent updates the words "disarmed" and "armed" was added to the icon and i want to remove those words
hello, i need to change domain for one of my switches and make it light. I did that in my customize.yaml :
switch.blizwolf_lug
domain: light
but still have not my plug as light. What i do wrong or miss ?
I think you want this:
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.switch/
works ! thank you !
the words are in the icon?? mine are to the right of the icon
This is how it looks. The few pixels sticking out is driving me crazy every time I look at it
ah yeah, that is a bit irritating
seems to be just an issue of having them stacked next to each other
Before the update It just had the shield icon and I had the entity card below saying armed or disarmed. Thats how I liked it.
doesn't seem like the card has options to hide the text
I like the old way too, but only recently set mine up so hadn't noticed the change vs the docs
Yeah I have been trying for a few weeks to find the answer. It seems like I may have to switch to a vertical stack. I really liked the horizontal stack for the alarm panels
may not help much, but I found where it was changed: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/10393
looks like no other changes have been made since then so you could maybe go to this file: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/dev/src/panels/lovelace/cards/hui-alarm-panel-card.ts
go back a couple commits in the history, download it, and use that instead
how exactly you can drop that into your own instance... I'm not 100% sure where you can put it and have it work lol
Ill give it a shot
you could also request the ability to simply hide the text
how do i do that?
HI Guys i am getting a error on a tv-card i used but after update i throws an error. I have checked the entities and services and they are still present and showing states! Is this know issue or should i report it ?
https://0bin.net/paste/DsedvA+I#X+4OszJkgS0eKa1yy0yf2i9ZHtYZe-cdCQw5kMHkaWf
Hey all, I used the header toggle of a card as entity states for automations to use. This disapeared after updating, I can't find the entities anymore. When I asked this in #551864459891703809 , which was the wrong channel for this question, Tinkerer also mentioned that this was never a thing, which makes me of course doubt myself and if I was using an integration by accident. Does anyone know?
Ah, the answer to my own question is: I was using an entity in the hue integration which was labeled the same. So I thought I did one thing, but really did another.
so i've just tried to install the state-switch card from thomasloven. git cloned it to my www folder, added it via the ui in resources, ctrl+f5'd browser & restarted HA but it's not showing up as an option when i go to add card. Did i miss smth reading the installation options? I thought if I used the UI to add to resources i didn't have to include it in my configuration.yaml (besides when i try adding it to my configuration.yaml i get an error when i have HA check my yaml file.
cards may or may not have a UI element in the frontend. Usually you have to add custom cards through 'add manual card'. A card like state switch seems like it would fall into that category.
Yep. Haven't gotten around to making a GUI editor for that yet.
It should show up in your browser console so you'll know it's installed.
Hello, I have a dumb question. I just started playing around with this and I can't figure out how to get the front end to show up on the monitor. I have it loaded on a raspberry pi and there is text on the monitor where I can input commands. I have looked through the home assistant on windows and I don't see anything to make it load on the
Monitor
Home Assistant is server software. It runs headless on the raspberry, and you connect to it from another computer or device. See step 4 in the "Start Up Your Raspberry Pi" section of the guide I really hope you are following https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi#start-up-your-raspberry-pi
Anyone have any idea why I'm not able to see the themes picker on my desktop browser, but I can see it in the companion app on 2021.12.1?
Interesting, I can see it via http, but not https...

Could be an issue with my reverse proxy...
thank you verry much for your reply!
I have three sensor cards on my dashboard. But whenever I tap one (using iPhone to control my home assistant) and then click the x to go back to the dashboard, all three are displaying the same curve. From one of the sensors. If I reload the webpage, things go back to normal. Is this expected behavior?
cards:
- type: media-control
entity: media_player.tv_living
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: media_player.tv_living.select_source
state: plex
card:
- type: media-control
entity: media_player.plex_aritrea_plex_for_lg_lg_49un71006lb```
anybody can help me write a working code here? I tried conditional but i've installed state-switch too by now. I'm new to this so forgive me if this is obvious!
@opal loom you won't be able to use the conditional card for that, at least not how you are trying. The conditional card only looks at the state of an entity. So in the case of a media player, that would be things like "off, on, idle, paused, playing"
To look at something like the source, which is an attribute, you have two options:
- create a template sensor that tracks the current source of the media player and use that as the entity in the conditional card
- use the custom state-switch card
would you mind sharing your code for the card?
I will later today
awesome thx!
It seems that 2021.12 changed the way a buttons row is displayed inside en entities card. The buttons are now inside a "pill" which looks nice. but now they aren't centered on the card as before. They are left aligned.
I think it would be good to have a configuration variable where you can choose the alignment.
still dunno why that --paper-item-icon-color isn't working anymore
that card is a kind of "shortcut group" to start apps on my Android tv
with each being colored to match their branding, but the coloring quit working in 2021.12.1
my original question on it... it's just the styling that isn't working
is there any way to find out if that's changed, if it's a bug, what I should change, etc?
so when are we getting a GUI for creating/editing groups?
when some enterprising developer submits a PR
feature request for UI configuration of light.group entities: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/discussions/7159
has anyone else noticed that styling with --paper-item-icon-color doesn't work anymore?
Inspect the element with browser developer tools
"Custom Sidebar" from Hacs front end, has stopped working after recent updates; and the sidebar within HA doesn't get saved like Lovelace gets saved after hiding sidebar tabs, for example after we open it in another browser...
Any way the devs can fix this, or make Custome Sidebar a part of HA?
That way we would be able to have custom sidebars for each account we have in HA.
@errant plover
I have also noticed that the Camera WebRTC isn't working either after updates.
@drowsy void custom sidebar did get a fork which appears to be working for people: https://github.com/galloween/custom-sidebar-v2
if you install the master version from hacs it's working again
until they get a release out
Not sure what that means...
i got the original version and it’s not working... can you message me so we don’t flood the discord channel with this?
Tried master but nothing changed and the newest version that it has is v0.2.2
The tab total “Home Assistant” changes to the custom one I wrote but the tabs don’t change.
Ok, found out how to get V2, how do I convert yaml into js?
@hallow mango Can you help me with this?
https://pastecode.io/s/uskogww0
the master bit is about webrtc
json, not js
check out the docs at the link I sent
It said to use a .js instead of .yaml like the last one had...
I used a converter, but it didn't work.
I'll give it a try in my 2nd HA tomorrow; backup copy.
It is in a VM so I can update it and restore it to a snapshot if it doesn't work; so works good as a test rid.
Can you help me convert my Yaml to Json?
The converter I used didn't work in it; I mean it didn't give any errors but the tabs didn't change.
Maybe I need to remove the old one first? Or is it something else?
Hi all, I'm trying to use history to display several sensor values and switch states to see a visual correlation between temperature and heater state. I cannot make history display several selected graphs of different units of measurement in a way that their time falls in line so that I have a visual correlation. I'm looking for the simplest way without using Grafana. Any hints?
Hey just some feedback since the last update. i feel like the move of supervised to configuration is not a good choice. as many things are not related to configurations like restarts and backups.
for the new Area images https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/12/11/release-202112/#redesigned-area-panel-and-the-area-lovelace-card : doesnt the UI accept .jpg files? when I use those, all I see is a black image...
btw, how to use that area Lovelace card? Cant find any documentation for it, nor does the UI editor add any entities?
so the sensors for my phone battery automatically update the icon to reflect the battery level
but the icon for my house battery does not
is there a way to make it?
It needs the battery device class for that
That card is currently full-auto, meaning it decides on its own what is shown for now.
FYI: Server restarts for HA itself were always in the config ("Server controls"), so with that in mind that move makes sense to me.
In general, for constructive feedback reg. the redesign please head over to https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/discussions/10491
i am more talking about the system controlls. as those are not really configurations
PS. why is it not allowed to upload pictures to this chanel? as i feel like it is very use full wen asking some questions.
hey guys I upgraded to the latest HA version last night. Now on my Iphone 13, the buttons are being pushed off screen
which doesnt seem to work alright just yet ... I have loads of entities assigned to my Areas, and all I see is a name of the area (proof it is picked up alright ) a single switch on the bottom right side of a card, even when there are many others, and a multiple light icon ... nothing has a tooltip, so its a bit scary to press anything....
The area is not randomly taking everything, but for now certain cherry-picked entity types and device classes
maybe some documentation could help this? I cant seem to find anything on the card in the https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/ section
Yes, would help. Someone needs to write that 🙂
