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

grizzled ravine
#

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

mild veldt
#

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

grizzled ravine
#

didnt think of overhead

mild veldt
#

Here's my current. Clean and functional. Nothing fancy

#

Just a bunch of button rows

dull kernel
#

gunna try it real quick

#

test it

tacit cave
#

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.

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.

grizzled ravine
# tacit cave dwains is not easy

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

mild veldt
grizzled ravine
#

@mild veldt what are some of the issues youve had in the past that broke it?

mild veldt
#

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

tacit cave
#

dwains uses lovelace_gen and relies heavily on configurations that are huge

#

lovelace_gen is great, but it's not for everyone

grizzled ravine
#

ok, thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it

mild veldt
tacit cave
#

You even use the cards you create?

mild veldt
#

I don't use any custom cards anymore

#

haha

tacit cave
#

lol

#

I don't think I'll ever get there

#

the base UI is too big

#

for phones

mild veldt
#

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"}
tacit cave
#

I actually removed it 🤣

mild veldt
#

good, the author is an idiot

tacit cave
#

lol

#

I liked the card, but lovelace gen makes it obsolete

#

lovelace_gen & custom button card

mild veldt
#

now that's too big for my tastes, actually 🙂

tacit cave
#

I like it, combine the 2 and you get some nice nagivations and good looking ui

#

have you used jellyfin at all?

#

or kodi?

mild veldt
#

I use plex

dull kernel
#

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' $$

tacit cave
#

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

dull kernel
#

how do you have your JF setup petro??

tacit cave
#

JF?

dull kernel
#

jellyfin

#

i thought u said ya used it i guess not

tacit cave
#

I don't have that, I was responding to ian

#

sorry

mild veldt
#

you should be

#

goddamnit lol

grizzled ravine
#

i use Jellyfin as well would be awesome if it had Home Assistant support

dull kernel
#

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

tacit cave
#

I use plex

dull kernel
#

there's some addon for it Pepo but idk how to get it setup

tacit cave
#

never even heard of jellyfin

#

until just now

#

and googled it

grizzled ravine
dull kernel
#

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

grizzled ravine
#

i wanted to get plex, then tried emby but the lincesing became a pain

tacit cave
#

koying made a custom integration for jellyfin

dull kernel
#

the link ian sent is what i was reading pepo

tacit cave
#

oh, what ian linked

grizzled ravine
#

oh ok seeing now

#

are you having an issue with the plugin or with installing HACS?

dull kernel
#

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 ?

dull kernel
#

i dont have anything in my configuration.yaml file

dull kernel
#

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

dull kernel
#

bangs head into wall

quick basalt
#

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?

#

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

dull kernel
#

"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

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.

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!

tacit cave
#

it's a static window and if your URL changes, that won't stick

iron grove
#

oh, I see

typically auth adds encrypted auth tokens to the webpage url as you log in

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?

split granite
#

The calendar card may only support calendar entities...

dusk lintel
#

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?
split granite
#

No, it doesn't go there

#

You can do that in the UI entirely

polar kelp
#

and should

dusk lintel
#

I dont want to do it in yaml, but it looks like I have no choice if I want a calendar

split granite
#

🤔

#

You should be able to add calendar entities there, unless you need Advanced mode to see them for some strange reason?

dusk lintel
#

already have advanced mode. but you said that I can do all this from the UI already? Whithout resorting to yaml mode?

split granite
#

Yes

dusk lintel
#

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

split granite
#

Do you actually have any?

#

Did you configure any calendar integration yet?

dusk lintel
#

no - thats why I am missing something somewhere

split granite
#

Well, there is your problem

#

You can't add something that doesn't exist

#

Step #1 will be to configure a suitable calendar integration

dusk lintel
#

I thought it would be a bog standard basic inclusion - seems I was wrong.

#

based on the inbuilt date/time

split granite
#

Yeah... unless you configure it, or it's part of the default_config (which you can remove) then it doesn't exist

dusk lintel
#

its obviously not an integration, so how would you go about it from scratch? if possible in the UI.

split granite
#

Why is it obviously not an integration?

kind shellBOT
#

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.

dusk lintel
#

if I go to integrations and seaarch for calendar - nothing shows up

split granite
#

Everything is an integration

#

Then you need to read the message in the UI

dusk lintel
#

OK well then are you saying that I can easily install an integration for something like a light, but not for a simple calendar?

oblique rain
#

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

dusk lintel
#

most - if not all of those on the website require yaml from what I have seen

split granite
#

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

dusk lintel
#

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?

split granite
#

You're confusing two things

dusk lintel
#

now you see my problem! lol

split granite
#

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

dusk lintel
#

but to configure an integration I need the entities - correct?

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

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

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?

#

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)

Just turn off the visibility for it for everyone. It can still be seen in edit mode when you want it.

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.

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 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?

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.

#

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.

polar kelp

dark dirge
#

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

earnest bloom
#

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?

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

errant plover

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

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?

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

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

warped yew
#

If i want a button that triggers multiple automations can i do that?

dark dirge
#

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

warped yew
#

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

dark dirge
#

Because you should call a script instead

mild veldt
#

this 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

dark dirge
#

Or put whatever the automatons do into a script and call that from your automations and from your button

warped yew
#

ok but that means i need to learn scripting which i don't currently know.

dark dirge
#

The action of an automaton is a script

warped yew
#

Also i asked why is it a bad idea.

mild veldt
#

it's very similar to automations

muted saddle
#

scripting is the same as automation prettymuch

mild veldt
#

automations are meant to be well...automated... 😉

muted saddle
#

scripting only gets more complex if you want to use parameters, and for this you wouldnt

warped yew
#

haha alright.

mild veldt
#

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

warped yew
#

trying the script way now. What's the call service for calling a script using a button?

mild veldt
#

script.turn_on

muted saddle
#

you can just put the entity in lovelace i belive

muted saddle
#

script.your_script_id as entity

warped yew
#

tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: script.run_heater_automations

#

?

coral fossil
#

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

muted saddle
#
tap_action:
  action: toggle
entity: script.all_off
warped yew
#

why a toggle?

dark dirge
#

That won’t work

muted saddle
#

it does work

#

no idea why it made a toggle tbh, i just went into gui editor and choose button then my script

dark dirge
#

Oh, yeah. It will. Just weird

warped yew
#

alright. My code worked as well!

muted saddle
#

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

dark dirge

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

dull kernel
#

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?

dark dirge
#

that's too general to answer

#

yes, I guess?

dull kernel
#

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?

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?

jolly briar
#

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?

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.

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"

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?

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

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

dark dirge
#

correct

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.

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.

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?

#

@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

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?

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 🙂

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

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

tacit cave
#

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.

vivid trout
#

does anyone know if there is a way to add a boarder around the edge of grid card?

tacit cave
#

cardmod

#

always cardmod

#

good rule of thumb: Are you modifying a card's look? If yes -> cardmod, if no -> not cardmod

vivid trout
#

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.

tacit cave
#

well, grid card is probably similiar to vertical stack, and that means you'll need to use modcard

cedar ether
tacit cave
#

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

vivid trout
#

so set cardmod as type at top of all?

tacit cave
tacit cave
vivid trout
tacit cave
#

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:

mild veldt
# tacit cave Is that a thing?

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

tacit cave
#

That does seem like a good approach

#

However peeps would get maaaad

Just look at the supervisor change

icon_outerglow would be a nice addon 😛

mild veldt

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

#

For the less cards part, I mean.

mild veldt

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?

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.

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.

I mostly have lights and a few sensors, nothing fancy

jolly briar

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.

dense pawn
#

looks like I just need More Grids

hot gyro
#

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?

hot gyro
jolly briar
#

thats 100% fine.

dense pawn
#

grids are awesome! 🙌

jolly briar
#

I just want to make sure its not for other reasons that are in my power

polar kelp
#

Do you have an example of a card that does and does not convert? I could take a look at the code

hot gyro
polar kelp
#

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.

jolly briar
#

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.

polar kelp
#

Probably, but I would expect the entities card to do the same conversion.

jolly briar
#

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)

polar kelp
wheat current
#

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

jolly briar
jolly briar
#

what tells the statistics table to be converted to PSI?

wheat current
#

The recorder integration

polar kelp
#

And that goes by the system unit setting, I guess?

wheat current
#

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

jolly briar
#

Is there any way a user can tweak the expected result?

wheat current
#

no

polar kelp
#

I'd consider this a frontend not-quite-bug. The presentation should be in the same unit regardless.

wheat current
#

Yeah, all should use the statistics table

jolly briar
#

Is there anyway, I can force a statistic to be in kPa instead of PSI?

wheat current
#

it's way faster

polar kelp
#

Not for the frontend. That's an extra websocket call just to display the current value.

jolly briar
#

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?

wheat current
#

Use the history card instead of the statistics card and it will match

jolly briar

ok, that will have to work for now, thank you for the assistance on this

mild veldt
#

@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:

  1. create a template sensor that tracks the current source of the media player and use that as the entity in the conditional card
  2. use the custom state-switch card

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.

"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.

I have also noticed that the Camera WebRTC isn't working either after updates.

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.

The area is not randomly taking everything, but for now certain cherry-picked entity types and device classes
