"Because of that custom-ui doesn't work with Entity card" oops and i am using that card

#

testing it anyway

#

oops checking which file i need to edit , i just need to read your instructions decently 🙂

#

ah those examples have to be placed in the configuration.yaml file?

could anyone help me with some css styling please ? I've been at it all night and cant find a way to achieve my goal...

#

I'm trying to use an iframe card but without the scrollbar

#

for the life of me, I cant find the right selector or way to do it

did the customization of entities go away with the new settings page ?

yes and no, for the ring yes, camera no the camera pushes the pip through a app on the fire called notifications (but as far as I am aware the only the fire cube supports pip, but any android device that has pip will work) the Ring was the worst to setup though as for some strange reason despite being owned by amazon, you can live view on a amazon tablet the ring, without either using the ring-mqtt and boolean (which causes a week lasting battery) or through tasker. My way of doing it was a Virtual smart things switch (which is a both a switch and sensor) which I set to pressed with doorbell ding, then on the tablet via alexa rountine say alexa view doorbell on tablet only)... also have automation trigger a 2 minute timer that tells fully to reloads the start url after 2 mins... lol probably a bit long winded but it works.

You can't remove an iframe scrollbar with CSS. It's an element attribute <iframe scrolling="no"

#

Good opportunity to learn how to make a one-off custom card.

It's a known problem. A fix is in the works.

hello all. I just installed HA on a raspberry pi 4 yesterday. I have my wifi lights imported and they all work, however, This is what is happening with a few. The icons for the china cabinet and living room don't display the same as others when turned on. The lights are all the same type and brand. Any ideas? If this isn't the right place for this question, please tell me which group to use.

#

well, guess I can't put the picture in...

#

basically, the blue lightbulb disappears when the light gets turned on

polar kelp
#

I guess this is an RGB light which is currently set to white?

#

The icon follows the color of the bulbs. If you click the name of the light you can probably switch it over to color temperature mode.

rain tiger
#

yes, it is an RGB that is set to white right now

#

thanks, I'll try that out

#

that did it, thanks!

Hi folks!

#

I'm trying to create some kind of graph that shows correlation between outside temperature and power usage. I have hourly power usage that is collected at the minute interval

#

I also have my climate setup available.

#

I use graph mini card, but it's not particularly useful because i can't scale the entity

#

"Scale the entity" as in, I can't apply scale to entities individually.

#

I would have to create dedicated sensors or something like that, which I prefer not to do.

polar kelp
#

Put two graphs in a vertical stack. Should be easy enough to read, and you won't have to worry about the different units.

#

I use it for the detection fps vs inference times from my frigate instance, which often vary wildly from each other

#

are you also using a coral ?

hallow mango
#

yep, the USB one

random mantle
#

for some reason , the door contact state color won't change on my entity card , using custom_ui

rough bone
#

I am currently setting up HomeAssistant for the first time in combination with Frigate. Both also runs separately only I fail when setting Frigate Lovelace Card... My problem is the cameras are running somewhere else and are included in frigate via rtsp and are therefore not recognized by HomeAssistant as Camera_Entity.

oh sry I write it there ^^

random mantle
hallow mango
#

@random mantle does it work in the default theme?

#

or in the more info card?

random mantle
#

it doesn't seem to work at all strangely , i am doing something wrong

#

the example code should be placed in the configuration.yaml ?

hallow mango
#

hmm, not sure what you're working with exactly... I don't use custom_ui, but binary_sensors should usually change their icon color when they're on

random mantle
#

yes that indeed works here ! default blue and when i open the door it's yellow

#

i just want to change yellow to green 🙂

hallow mango
#

aha, so you're trying to do different colors

random mantle
#

yes

hallow mango
#

just for that one sensor or all?

random mantle
#

just for that sensor

hallow mango
#

have you checked out the examples on the wiki?

random mantle
#

yes

#

i just edited one, and i can show the code i have

hallow mango
#

think you'd use something like:

icon_color: >
  if (state == 'on') return 'green';
  return 'yellow';
random mantle
#

exactly

hallow mango
#

can you share your card yaml?

random mantle
#

checking

#

oops

#

i had "homeassistant:" twice in my config

errant birch
hallow mango
#

might be easier to use something like card_mod in the end

#

something like:

        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color:
              {% if states('binary_sensor.whatever') == 'on' %}
                'green'
              {% else %}
                'red'
              {% endif %};
          }

maybe on your entity in the card

#

#

How would I go about having a tap on a camera icon (on a basic floorplan picture card) open a live webrtc feed?

hallow mango
#

not a super great way that I know of, but you could try opening a webrtc card as a pop-up from browser_mod

wind coyote
#

looks like an interesting thing to look into regardless

#

Thanks for that

Probably the wrong place, but how am I meant to set the external url to this when you can't have anything after the slash? I need to set a base url for my nginx server
https://i.imgur.com/1kWZzMu.png

dark dirge
#

you can't serve HA from a path like that

shy folio
#

How am I meant to serve it then? I have other apps like Sonarr and Radarr like this

dark dirge
#

via a subdomain. ha.somethign.com

shy folio
#

That's the only way? If so do you think a GitHub issue would be worth it?

dark dirge
#

That is the only way. It has always been that way.

#

it's not a bug, so a github issue wouldn't be useful

#

A feature request would be more appropriate

kind shellBOT
#

If you have a feature request for the frontend you can open one here, for Home Assistant itself please post on the forum. All other feature requests should be made to the developer of that custom card/component.

Command '~features' was invoked by: RobC
shy folio
#

Looks like someone already did it?

dark dirge
#

and it was closed because it's as-designed

#

However, it seems like you are looking for a way to host Home Assistant behind a reverse proxy in a subpath. This is (and never was) supported, nor are we going to implement support for it. More information can be found in the linked architecture issue above.

shy folio
#

Seems like a massive oversight, considering every other application I can think of supports this type of configuration

dark dirge
#

🤷

#

subdomains are trivial to use

#

anyway, that's why the frontend doesn't allow it

fiery ledge
#

now that I've discovered Log card (...) I kind of like the scrolling aspect of that, and would love to have that on some of my larger Markdown cards. Would anyone know of a way to do that? Is some CSS option available for use in card_mod maybe?

Sadly I'm not seeing configuration>customizations as well.

How can I change the color of the name based on an attribute? This is what I've been able to piece together but it only works for the icon.```yaml
state:

  • operator: template
    value: |
    [[[ return states['light.bedroom1'].attributes
    && (states['light.bedroom1'].attributes.brightness >= 254) ]]]
    color: rgb(255,255,0)
    • operator: default
      icon: mdi:lightbulb```

# crude lotus Well I cant in the mobile application.

are you using the hacs browser mod? I know it's just a workaround and doesn't address your problem but you could use that to set an automation for its sensor: when you use your mobile app it lights up and you set it to switch to a different dashboard url for each device

Hi! I want to display a randomly-selected image (from a folder) in a view that I will cast to a Google Home. It looks like the built in Lovelace cards for picture* don't allow templating for me to set an image dynamically - is this right, or am I missing something?
I can get it to work with a custom:button-card card, which does allow templates, but then the image doesn't show up on cast (some custom things don't, it seems).

hollow sand
#

searched for button, nothing shows up

#

then I looked in /hacs/frontend and It doesnt show up there either

#

tried directly adding the link into the custom repo section but it doesn't let me, saying that it's already in the store ^^

#

Button card is under frontend

#

And use the big blue button at the bottom of the screen to install a new custom component, the search bar at the top searches in your already installed components

Hey guys! I have weird problem. On my friends HASS we have sonoff switches with esphome. All latest versions.
Switches in front are changing from state ON to OFF in ~1-2 seconds after they are turned ON by itself.
Problem is disappearing after we toggle physical button on sonoff devices itself, but returns after HASS instance is restarted.
Any clue why there's need for initial button "touch" and HASS can't keep correct state?

polar kelp
#

That's not a #frontend-archived problem. Hass doesn't know what their state is, maybe they don't reply when it tells them to change or something.

junior isle
#

I think this is a #frontend-archived question but correct me if I'm wrong. If you set unit_system: imperial your temp sensors will show as Fahrenheit even if the sensor values come through as Celsius but why doesn't wind speed or rain totals also get converted to Imperial units?

tacit cave
#

There’s no reason other than “nothing else has been implemented”

junior isle
#

Well that explains it then, I just wanted to double check. Seems a bit odd to have unit_system yet only convert temperatures

#

So what's the "best way" to convert sensors from metric to imperial then? Do I have to create new template sensors or is there a way to just convert before displaying?

vivid trout

#

I dont have the sonoff switches no more, but I had to set them up with call service switch.turn_on from one press and switch.turn_off from two presses as they kept doing the same to me when I tested them, I would push the button on, light would turn on 3 seconds later it would turn off with toggle.

#

or it was hold to turn off cant quite remember

vivid trout
scarlet osprey
#

We prefer toggle solution. It's working without any issues for me, so most likely something went wrong during HASS update. I'll dig into it (enable debug) next time, but thanks for try!

Yep my skill set a patience was not into digging, it was into replacing lol.

I have an ingress question... Not sure if it belongs here, but I'll give it a shot... If I have something open in ingress (node red, grafana, esphome) and I navigate to another tab, and then back again, it will often cause the whole tab to reload, causing my to lose my work/place. Is that a known bug?

errant plover
silent drum
dark dirge
#

Sometimes HA will freak out if you restart/update and the session is still open. I recommend just opening a new browser tab.

#

or is that what you're already doing?

silent drum
dark dirge
#

No, nevermind. I misread your initial concern

#

But "Automatically close connections" was added to avoid stale sessions from causing lots of problems and turning it off may reintroduce them.

silent drum
#

Any chance you have a better idea?

dark dirge
#

no, that's probably causing your issue

silent drum
#

Think this is GitHub issue worthy? To me it is a legitimate issue...

dark dirge
#

it's kinda by design

silent drum
#

I like having grafana graphs up often (through ingress) but have to re navigate to my dashboard all the time because if the reload

dark dirge
#

If it thinks that a session is inactive, it closes the connection. Reopening the connection may very well introduce a reload

silent drum
#

And is that design helping something? If I didn't use ingress, then I would just have a grafana tab constantly open

dark dirge
#

yes, lik I said...

#

The backend would get into a state where it wouldn't be able to communicate with a stale frontend session and flood the event bus

#

It caused some very bad behavior until you found the machine with the stale session and manually closed the tab

silent drum
#

So it sounds like the "best" solution here is to stop using ingress for things I expect to leave alone for more than five minutes?

dark dirge
#

yes

silent drum
#

Ok cool. Thanks for the awesome explanation!

dark dirge
#

you're welcome to file an issue

silent drum
#

I think a good middle ground could be to add your explanation to the ingress docs, as it seems like quite an issue

#

Or at least a warning maybe... Like "ingress pages open for more than 5 minutes may be reloaded and your work will be lost"

#

That would have saved me some headache

errant plover
#

I've got it turned off because I got sick of backgrounded tabs reloading when focused again. I've never had any issues. I do close all tabs when I'm done though.

dark dirge
#

For me, it was always some old Windows box that I never use, but happened to have a tab open

#

it was the least enjoyable treasure hunt ever

errant plover
#

Pretty sure it is a per browser setting. If you only disable it for the the one you constantly use and are careful to close all sessions it should be ok.

Hi All! (Hopefully) a trivial question; How to implement a "Back button" in Lovelace? I'd like to go back to the preview view, not to a specific view (using navigation_path and view name). Thanks in advance!

willow oriole
#

Sorry, the message above was actually sent by me, not by Juttu... he must have been using Discord on my laptop and had not logged out 🙂

#

So, how to navigate back to the ***previous ***view, was the question here. If it makes any difference, I'm using two Google Nest Hub displays and Home Assistant Cast. Each Hub has its dedicated default/home view and from there you can navigate with buttons (tap_action/navigate) to shared views. I'm trying to find a way back to the original view from any shared view. So I cannot use fixed navigation path here. I'd simply need to "go back", but how?

No, I was wrong. You can customize the default one and add a new one which is auto generated, if that's what you want.

Tried this already. It kind of works, but not really; it is working fine on laptop, but not with Google Nest Hub (HA Cast). Actually when I press the custom button-card based back button on the Hub, my laptop's changes back to the previous view it had on the screen. So I can remote control a web browser with the Nest Hub - it's cool, but not really what I was after 😆

Hello , i'm migrating to docker . Can someone tell me where to find the lovelace settings , cards etc so i can copy them ?

in all cases, just copy the entire contents of your config directory, including the hidden .storage directory

# willow oriole Tried this already. It kind of works, but not really; it is working fine on lapt...

As a work-around to the "back button" with Google Nest Hub / HA Cast; Is there a way to identify the client using UI? My goal is find a way to return to a client specific view (from any view), i.e. on my office nest hub, I'd always return back to "office main page view" and same for the kitchen's nest hub. I cannot figure out how to identify the client being used to do some stuff based on that info. In my case, HA Cast may be complicate things (e.g. history.back() did not work as expected)...

willow oriole
hollow sand
#

is there a way to do the equivalent of this but to have them show up as button cards instead?

#

I know I can do this individually but that's not really feasable

willow oriole
hollow sand
#

yes

#

that is exactly what I am trying to avoid

#

seeing as there are like 20 scripts I'd have to manually select the options for

willow oriole
#

So, you'd like to change the default appearance of the Entities card with Scripts?

hollow sand
#

yes

#

that would be great

willow oriole
#

How about this (no typing needed): Add Card -> By Entity -> Select (one) script -> Pick different card -> Button card -> Done. Repeat 20 times 🙂

#

I guess it takes about 5 seconds per button

#

You'll get individual buttons cards that can of course be organised using e.g. Grid Card (or vertical/horizontal stack cards)

#

In case you still want to use the Entities card, it's possible to tweak the default "RUN" text, mdi icon etc, but will require code editor usage.

hollow sand
#

thanks

#

I guess that works, in lieu of batch adding

#

but it's problematic because you do have to type

#

"script" every time

#

and even then, you still don't know which of the scripts you've already added or not

willow oriole
#

yes, that's true. you can save two key strokes by typing only "scr" though 😄

hollow sand
#

thats actually my only problem, the last part

#

wouldnt mind the typing or the extra work

willow oriole
#

you in fact CAN select all the script, but when you then select button card as a card type, only the first button is created

hollow sand
#

yes

#

I figured I'd try doing the same but with grid

#

thought maybe then it would batch add

#

but no

willow oriole
#

ok

hollow sand
#

also trying to add a webpage to my lovelace

#

and I get this message
Website will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it

#

do you perchance know how to circumvent this?

#

it's because both pages are https

young hedge
#

I guess it's kinda front end. When HASS recorder is querying sql it slowly tacks up connect_errors and causses sql to block the host when attempts > max_connect_errors

#

my hunch is that HASS is doing a health check of some kind and SQL is taking it as a connection error

#

interim forced sql's error count up with set global max_connect_errors =10000;

It is possible to set the application to a simple mode (children's or visitor) so that the person has only the default view, in the profile he has only the option to change the password, theme, language. So some read-only mode where you can't change anything?

south crypt
dark dirge
#

in a theme, or in something like card-mod

south crypt
#

ahhh, themes. ok, got it. i haven't tried those yet but that makes sense, thanks

#

is the default theme not specified in the themes.yaml file?

#

i just want to tweak the default, not make a whole new one

dark dirge
#

The "default theme" is just the defaults in the frontend. If you want to modify it, make your own theme with the overrides that you want

when using a button in an entities card with entity script, is it supposed to Not use the icon set in the scripts config?

good evening. Any using the mini graph card for displaying temperatures? If so have you ever seen the graph flatline even though the sensor is changing temperatures?

#

the history graph is just flat lined

dark dirge
#

I'm not using that card anymore, but I used to see it get wedged from time to time. Sometimes going into the browser dev tools and clearing the local data helped

south crypt
#

ahhh, it just overrides CSS values. ok great, thanks again

mossy gale
#

@dark dirge thanks I will give it a blast. I did install a new frontend card for graphs, maybe i should try that

dark dirge
#

I really like apex-charts

south crypt
#

sorry, one more question. it looks like the true default theme is the light theme. is there a way to access default dark theme? i ask because as an experiment i tried just overriding one color in my new custom theme and everything turned light

hollow carbon
#

Isnt a "property" of a light an entity? how can I access and change the color temperature of a light from a card?

dark dirge
dark dirge
#

it is not a property of the state object

hollow carbon
#

yeah I probably mean a state. so I want to change a state of this particular lamp with a slider with a card

dark dirge
#

you're still probably talking about an attribute

#

and you change things like that with light.turn_on

mossy gale
#

@dark dirge that worked! what i cant understand is the HA app had the same flatline data lines. Just checked after clearing cache on Firefox on my MBP and its visible now there too.

dark dirge
#

I never figured out what was going on, but I don't see it with apexcharts

mossy gale
#

i need to look at Apexcharts then, as this is not the first time it happened. Last time it just started working again on its own eventually

dark dirge
#

I found apexcharts to be more flexible, too. And RomRider builds great stuff and maintains it

Looking for opinions on sweet home 3d vs floorplanner for designing a house plan, tbh I am more interested in a 2D representation to start with but an option to go 3d as well would be nice

if you know a college student you can get Revit for free while they are in school

Yeah, you also used to be able to use 10minutemail and just free trial your way through 😉

#

Probably more complicated then I am after

#

I am ok with fusion but properly sucked at revit

young hedge
#

maybe, another option is to outsource it on fiver or similar

#

assuming you just want a cartoony render of your house for lights and stuff?

exotic idol
#

Not necessarily, my plan is to take an overall design of the house and then be able to click a room and it load a specific layout of that room which would also be used on some NSPanels I have

#

I actually think 3D would get in the way more then anything

#

Might start with sweet home 3d and see how it goes

And the conclusion is both sweet home 3d and floorplanner are terrible for houses with out square rooms

# willow oriole As a work-around to the "back button" with Google Nest Hub / HA Cast; Is there a...

Morning, one more take to the "Back Button with Google Nest Hub" challenge. Maybe a feasible workaround; 1) Instead of just using Tap action / Navigate to get into a (sub) view, first save the originating view name somewhere, then navigate away 2) When navigating back, just check the original view name from the stored info to get back into right view. But how to do this? Can you have a button that has two actions; 1) store/read page info and 2) navigate somewhere? I could write a script, but don't know how to add "tap action/navigate" in a script. It should be possible to use cast service (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cast/) to recast a view instead of "tap action/navigate", but maybe a bit heavy duty... Ideas?

With the new HA upgrade do I need to enter edit .yaml files to make a path to cast to a Google Nest, or can everything be done within the UI?

#

Finally got it to work. The thing was that the dash I made as a test is not added to lovelace, so instead I had to make a additional card on the OVERVIEW, then I got the lovelace URL and path

I have various climate entities defined, and use them to control radiators, underfloor heating and boilers. However one of them has recently started behaving oddly. As far as I can tell the sensor (Tasmota on a bare ESP board) is happily reporting the temperature back to HA at all times. It's certainly showing a value now which agrees with the value I see if I log onto the sensor directly. However the history graph suggests that there has been no data for the last several hours. It's only this one climate entity which is showing this behaviour (although it is also the only one with a split sensor/switch configuration). Any ideas which bits of string I ought to be pulling to see what's catching?

Still having some strange behaviour with all my temperature sensors + power monitoring ones (zigbee/wifi). The value is changing on the device but the history data remains flat lined, i tried clearing cache etc. Maybe rebooting the platform might sort it.

And the rest of mine still are stable... I thought the sensor was on the blink, but it's not - the simple thermostat lovelace card shows the right temp, it just doesn't log it.

I just want all my on and off lightbulbs to be uniform regardless of set color or brightness. Is that possible?

@narrow spoke as you can see from mine they all keep flatlining. The temp on the history graph/minigraph/apex does not match the reading, which has recent update times. No idea what is going on.

Hi, I have a question regarding the history-graph card.
I noticed that when a sensor is 'off' for a significant period of time, it changes its state on the card and becomes "RAS" (french for nothing to declare).
But the binary_sensor entity did not change and is still at "off". The change of name also induces a change of color. It looks like the sensor is active but it is not.

Do you have any idea how I can avoid this ?

.: is just like the current directory in unix. Say you have html <element-a> #shadow-root <element-b> #shadow-root and you want to add styles to both shadow roots.

And the $ replaces the . for element-b in this case

polar kelp
#

Since yaml style: element-a $: | styles added to element-a shadow root element-b $: | styles added to element-b shadow root is bad syntax

woven needle
#

Because it wouldn't make sense to go back to the root directory in this analogy.

#

That make sense

#

So, if there's a <button id="button" ...> within a shadow-root under mwc-button which is also under <div id="keypad">... it would look something like this?

style:
  #keypad mwc-button $:
    .: |
    button $: |
      height: 200px

Phew, that was difficult for me. lmao

polar kelp
#

Just yaml style: #keypad mwc-button $: button $: | height: 200px

woven needle
#

o.o

#

lmao - let me try

polar kelp
#

: | starts a multiline string

#

Or even yaml style: #keypad mwx-button $ button $: | height: 200px

woven needle
#

Wouldn't I need style: |?

#

The # is just a comment otherwise.

woven needle
polar kelp
#

Ah. You're right. You need to quote any line starting with #: yaml style: "#keypad mwx-button $ button $": | height: 200px

#

It's all a dirty hack, so some quirks are to be expected.

woven needle
#

hmm

#

Quick correction, it is mwc instead of mwx, but this doesn't seem to work.

woven needle
polar kelp
#

Well... no. It's friday night and I'm on the third wiskey. But you also need correct css.

woven needle
#

Hahaha, no problem! I'll keep playing!

polar kelp
#

And then you'll run into a special thing about the selectors.

#

When you say "#keypad mwc-button $ button $" you will select the first #keypad, the first mwc-button in that, the first shadowroot in that, the first button in that and the every shadowroot in that.

#

What you probably want is to select the first #keypad and every mwc-button in that, then the first shadowroot and button in each of those.

#

When you chain selectors, card-mod will pick the first one of each, except for the last one where it will pick all.

#

So you want yaml "#keypad mwc-button": # Find ALL mwc-buttons in #keypad $: | # Find the shadowroot of EACH found mwc-button button#button {height: 200px} // button doesn't have a shadowroot, so it can be styled directly from the shadowroot of the mwc-button

woven needle
#

I'll look into this now!

polar kelp
#

It's clear as mud when you've been staring at the code for a couple of months. Trust me.

dark dirge
#

I picture Thomas with a black pointy hat stirring a bubbling cauldron of CSS

#

What selector couldn't use an eye-of-newt?

polar kelp
#

That would probably be :host-context Pure magic, but only supported by chrome - and about to be gone from that too.

#

(I just edited the last line of my code above to button#button {... because CSS prioritization 🤷)

Hi everyone,
Trying to set a floorplan with picture element, I've set my view to panel mode and add a picture element card fort testing, but my image is not taking full height of the screen. Maybe it's because the sidebar on the left (https://github.com/DBuit/sidebar-card)

Hi Folks,
Not sure if this is the right channel,
I'd like to remove Map Logbook History from Side Panel for non-admin users, is that really not possible?

woven needle
#

You'd put this at the very top of your lovelace.

kiosk_mode:
  admin_settings:
    hide_header: false
    hide_sidebar: false
  non_admin_settings:
    hide_header: true
    hide_sidebar: true
    ignore_entity_settings: true
stuck garden
#

can I force a specific user into kiosk mode?

woven needle
#

You can differentiate between admins and non-admins only - as far as I'm aware.

#

Kiosk mode can also get rid of the header bar - my favorite.

stuck garden
#

what about the side panel?

woven needle
#

Yes

#

Check out the yaml I posted

stuck garden
#

ok let me give it a try, thanks for the info

woven needle
#

hide_header and hide_sidebar

woven needle
stuck garden
#

I installed from HACS, restart HA, and then added the configuration, when I check configuration I'm getting this error
Package kiosk_mode setup failed. Component kiosk_mode Integration 'kiosk_mode' not found.

woven needle
#

Where did you put the config?

#

Just in case, I'll reiterate what I posted above:
This goes in the lovelace yaml, not the configuration.yaml

kiosk_mode:
  admin_settings:
    hide_header: false
    hide_sidebar: false
  non_admin_settings:
    hide_header: true
    hide_sidebar: true
    ignore_entity_settings: true
stuck garden
#

I don't have lovelace.yaml, I have ui-lovelace.yaml

woven needle
#

Sure

#

Whatever yaml you use for your lovelace

stuck garden
#

I don't manually edit any lovelace yaml

#

does it go into any specific section?

woven needle
#

ah, today's the day, then!

#

At the very top.

#

Even above the views:

kiosk_mode:
  admin_settings:
    hide_header: true
  non_admin_settings:
    hide_header: true
    ignore_entity_settings: true

views:
  - title: Home
    path: home
    icon: mdi:home
woven needle
stuck garden
#

Thank you, Editing the ui-lovelace file didn't work, but editing from the top right it worked.
Thank you for your help it is much appreciated.
Working fine 👍

woven needle
#

Nice! Now, a word of caution! If you set hide_header to true, you won't be able to edit the yaml naturally! Hahaha
In order to get around this, simply disable Kiosk Mode by appending this to the end of your URL ?disable_km=&edit=1

#

This will disable kiosk mode and put your straight into edit.

stuck garden
#

wow, that sucks, I understand the need, but that is a security breach, in fact as a regular user that does have only one panel enabled, I was able to see everything by appending that, including all other panels that I wasn't able to see before kiosk

woven needle
#

I wouldn't say security breach...

#

Do you anticipate malicious attackers using your home assistant dashboard?

stuck garden
#

any regular user would be able to see everything by just appending the query param

woven needle
#

If they knew that they could, sure.

stuck garden
#

no, but there is a reason why there are user isolations

woven needle
#

Can can make specific dashboards admin only if you'd like.

#

Configuration > Dashboards > (selected dashboard) > Admin only

stuck garden
#

what is the point of having for each panel the option to hide from specific users if there is a backdoor?

woven needle
#

This has nothing to do with Kiosk Mode

#

A non-admin will not be able to visit an admin dashboard.

#

Won't even be able to see the icon I think.

stuck garden
#

probably not, as I didn't test it without the kiosk, but that is a serious flaw in HA

woven needle
#

Still not following the issue

#

Technically, Kiosk mode isn't even Home Assistant, it's a community app addon.

stuck garden
#

I added a new user
Went to every tab in the dashboard, selected the visibility and removed the user
Then I added a single Tab that had visibility
Logging in as that user, I only see that tab
All good, however I was also seeing Map History LogBook
I wanted to hide those as well, hence why I asked the question., all i wanted is a simple one page no frills for such users.

So I added the kiosk and it hid the side and top panel all good

Adding ?disable_km=&edit=1 to the url and logging in with that restricted user, i had full view to lovelace, all tabs and everything.

You don't see that as a flaw?

woven needle
#

You never mentioned that it added the tabs back.

#

I assumed the side panel just opened back up.

stuck garden
#

yeah, maybe I did not explain properly, but yes it did. all tabs that were hidden showed up

woven needle
#

So, obviously, kiosk mode isn't what you're looking for then.

#

Back to the drawing board.

stuck garden
#

😦

#

I can't believe that there is no way to hide Map History LogBook
What business regular users have in seeing those?

woven needle
#

Looks like if you remove the default_config: from your configuration.yaml, it might do the trick.

stuck garden
#

trust me I searched and read everything written about it, I don't even have default_config in my yaml

woven needle
#

A caution from the solution:
"Be aware that removing default_config: will remove a lot other components besides the Map."

woven needle
stuck garden
#

I grep-ed my entire Home Assistant folder and didn't see it anywhere

#

I suppose configuration yaml

woven needle
#

It would be within the configuration.yaml

#

95.6% of users have it active. I would be surprised if you didn't.

kind shellBOT
woven needle
#

What's this? Doesn't look like yaml to me

#

Also, I just learned something new, click and hold the "Home Assistant" name on the top left

#

You can remove tabs

stuck garden
#

no it is grep-ing for the string and showing the matches,
as you can see it is only found in frigate component

#

yeah that I know, but that is a per user setting (user preferences) to customize their own panel
it does not remove them, it just hides, and the user can show it back

woven needle
#

Correct

stuck garden
#

and it turns out that ?disable_km=&edit=1 has nothing to do with kiosk_mode component, I removed it and am still able to see everything
this is not good

woven needle
#

In that case, I would say that the edit=1 part has nothing to do with kiosk_mode.

#

Just putting ?disable_km= is a kiosk mode parameter. I suspect if you put ?edit=1 at the end, you'd get the same effect.

stuck garden
#

yep

woven needle
#

btw, if your users are using the HA app, they won't have the ability to access the URL.

#

i.e. they won't be able to get out of kiosk mode if they're using the app

stuck garden
#

but they can always use the browser

woven needle
#

Yup

#

Well, good luck finding a solution! I've gotta run!

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.

It depends on what you are using to view the Lovelace dashboard. For example, this view in my settup: https://i.imgur.com/k7Rmdqy.png really struggled to load on my mobile devices (but was fine on my desktop pc) when I had the number of points per hour up too high for the graphs. You would really have to have a huge number of light switches and binary sensors to reach that sort of bandwidth issue though.

This guy has 4 columns and "render cards as squares". This is what I am searching. Where can I do this settings?

its this: - type: custom:button-card color_type: blank-card

or, if you create a template out of that and use```

  • type: custom:button-card
    template: blank

o wait, you actually want to see empty cards? Opposed to an empty place holder?

that would be:```

hold_action: *none

Your code gives a config error. I tried to create a manual card with yaml code

what error?

probably a spacing issue. I copied and once I got it spaced in line with the rest of my YAML, it rendered fine.

fiery ledge
#

yes, I use it all the time 🙂 combine in a grid card and it works easy as can be

tribal galleon
#

interestingly, it renders in the editor UI as a grayish square but on my dashboard it is blank.

fiery ledge
#

guess that is merely the placeholder? I dont use the UI editor at all, so could not comment on that, sorry

#

looking back at the code, mine doesn't seem to like tap_action: none but is okay with tap_action:

playing with those yaml anchors to reduce code and increase legibilty, I do this in larger grids:```
- <<: &empty
type: custom:button-card
template: empty

  - <<: *empty```

how does that differ from a template put into the RAW?

not sure what you mean, but I guess the raw editor would accept that code without issue? It might not render correctly in the preview though?

you havent installed button-card yet? I figured you had, because of what you posted above

tribal galleon

#

well, in that case, there wont be an issue I figure, simply add the template, and call in it your button configs

tribal galleon
#

I might do like you suggested and make a "blank" template to match the rest of my buttons.

#

using the YAML you posted above, I definitely have a spacer but nothing visible (which is fine for my use)

fiery ledge
#

yeah, well, I am a sucker for code compression 😉 so if at all possible, I write a template , and call that, and, if called repeatedly in one file (I use includes all over) I create an anchor for it

I think I'm probably looking for the sensor item. However it doesn't seem to display a "now playing" preview in the media card if I'm playing something via the Samsung TV

you can use some custom cards like auto-entities to dynamically show the active Plex media_player instances. then it'll show one for each active session and hide them otherwise

those players will show art for the active media

If you make a light group (and not a regular group) that will create a new light. entity which controlls all your lights at once. If all the lights in the group supports changing color, so will the group light.

And you can still adjust the light individually

I see a lot of talk about integrating UPS (power, not delivery service) stats within the frontend of HA, but it seems like most everything I'm finding involves NUT which sounds like the UPS is connected to a different server via USB/NIC. Is there an approachable way in the event the UPS USB is connected right to the HA box?

dark dirge
#

The integration doesn't talk to a UPS. For that, you need to run NUT somewhere and have the integration talk to it. It's available as an addon for supervised installs, and that will work with a directly connected UPS

primal wolf
#

ah, no kidding? I guess I read too far in to it with all of the "my UPS is connected to a separate box" posts.

In my case my UPS serves my main servers + my HA server so it makes no difference where the USB goes as long as HA can play nicenice with it 😄

Not sure where to drop this question, but it ultimately ends on the lovelace frontend, so I'll start here. Anyway, node-red runs a timer and sends a status via an HA entity. I see the entity in HA and can display it's status, etc. it reflects the state of a switch being controlled via node-red. anyway, what I'm trying to do is have the icon for this entity display the state, on or off, graphically. i tried to reference the entity directly, no graphical change on status change. so I then setup a template entity with some quick logic on the icon_template. no dice there either. it's not picking up the original entity state. This has got to be simple and I'm an idiot. all help is greatly appreciated.

tacit cave
wooden root
#

I'd like mdi:lightbulb-on displayed on the card when the switch is on. mdi:lightbulb-off when the switch is off

tacit cave
#

the state of the switch is coming from node red?

wooden root
#

yes

tacit cave
#

how are you doing this? is it turning on/off an input_boolean?

#

or is it a legit switch that you're calling the turn_on/turn_off service

wooden root
#

inside node-red I a have a HA entity attached to the output node of the timer. that crates an entity in HA that reflects the status

#

it's node-red calling partical.io to tell a photon to toggle a relay

tacit cave
#

is it bascially just "Timer going -> on", "Timer going -> off"?

wooden root
#

right

tacit cave
#

ok, i'm still trying to clarify, is the switch created from node red or toggled from node red

#

there's a big distinction here

wooden root
#

created

tacit cave
#

and to circle back, the automation is simply "Timer going -> on", "Timer going -> off"

#

because using node red is shooting you in the foot

#

in this situation if that's your automation

wooden root
#

at least i didn't go int HA and create an entity. it appeared once I added the entity in node-red from the pallet

tacit cave
#

ok, so if you can't attach the icon to the switch state from node red, you ahve to create a template sensor

wooden root
#

i can see the status of the entity change in HA

#

right. did that.

#

or at least tried. not being successful with that.

tacit cave
#

also, is this just for display in the frontend or is the abliity to turn on and off doing something in node red?

wooden root
#

just display

tacit cave
#

ok, then if it's just for display, make a binary_sensor instead with a binary_sensor template

#

no need to deal with turn_on or turn_off commands when you aren't going to use them

wooden root
#

indeed. more simple = more better

tacit cave
#

anyways, once you get your binary sensor that's created from node red, wrap that sensor in a template sensor with an icon_template. Then use the template sensor in the UI.

alright. I'll set the type in node and try from there.

template:
- binary_sensor:
  - unique_id: from_node_red_wrapper
    name: My Timer thingy
    state: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.entity_id_from_node_red_binary_sensor', 'on') }}"
    icon: >
      {% if is_state('binary_sensor.entity_id_from_node_red_binary_sensor', 'on') %}
        mdi:xyz
      {% else %} 
        mdi:abc
      {% endif %}
wooden root
#

thank you!

tacit cave
#

I don't know node red at all, but you probably can set the icon via node red when you set the state

#

I would guess that you just need to provide attributes with a dictionary that contains 'icon':'mdi:abc'

wooden root
#

I've got that part down with the dictionary. i think the key is the binary_sensor type.

tacit cave
#

also, if your 'automation' is just when the timer is on, this binary_sensor is on, then you really can just forgo the whole automation and write a template sensor.

node is managing a bunch of stuff around this, so I really just wanted a status to flow thru into HA for display purposes. Thanks again!

Hi,
What would be the easiest way to create a lovelace card with multiple and diverse type entities ?
I did the Home Assistant one (top left) with button card, but I have issues in controlling the layout on different screens ... https://imgur.com/a/V7AxEGL

#

@tacit cave IT WORKS! 🙂 Thanks again

Hello. I'm installing a new frontend. Is the "root of your Home Assistant installation" /config/ ?

#

I'd assume that one level before that is the root, but I cannot copy anything there afaik

polar kelp
#

It's most likely /config if that exists, yes.

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone here knows why I get an error message when using the Conditional Card inside a custom:button-card grid when casting to a Google Nest Hub? The code works fine in my web-browser.

#

I keep getting problems refreshing the changes i make to lovelace, for example i completely comment something out and Ctrl + F5 in chrome takes few times before it goes thru, any ideas what it's causing this, it's really frustrating !!!! 😞

Can someone tell me how to change color in Energy tab? i have 3 tarrifs i have only blue colors ... how change that

sullen wyvern
#

Hi all. Could someone please explain to me what should I expect from pattern in text helpers? If I apply regex to it I can see in frontend if I typed a wrong value, since underline becomes red. But if I click out of that card the input stay there or if I check the helpers attributes, there is no mention about if the input is wrong or not. Also if my automation depends on the input, it fires no matter what has been typed in. Is the pattern field suppose to be just visual validator, nothing else?

Quick question folks....clocks.

Right now I have a clock on my dashboard. It's nothing fancy, it just uses a markdown card with the following content:

      - type: markdown
        content: >-
            # {{ states('sensor.time') }}

            ## {{ states('sensor.date') }}
#

The issue is, it doesn't make great use of the space and what I basically end up with is:

15:42
2010-01-25

That's fine, but I'd like a clock that maybe looks a bit nicer.....

#

Is there a way to do this?

vapid field
#

Ah sorry il move it

#

there are time sensors that show time such as "5 minutes ago" in lovelace, is it possible to show the exact time? I can see the time when clicking on it but I want it to be displayed in the UI directly, any ideas? https://ibb.co/WzCHHgV

@polar kelp - I'm trying to work out how to use your browser-mod when casting to my Nest Hub, however my popups only appear on my computer and not the Nest itself when I press the button. Any ideas on what could be wrong? I've tried adding deviceID: and various way to execute the service call, but still it won't pop-up on the Nest.

polar kelp
#

I don't think it would work on cast. It works quite differently from the rest of HA.

small gyro
#

Ah, understood. Do you know any other way to get a pop-up working on cast by any chance?

#

I'm making an interface for my sonos and a pop-up would be great to choose playlists etc

#

Alternatively I'll make it "flat" but that doesn't look as good 😉

sounds like you might be targeting the wrong media player

small gyro

Nope, changed the data to a random .mp3 file hosted online now, and that works..

#

I'll just play around some more

winter wasp
#

it creates separate entities from the built-in integration. i'd bet you're not using the new one in the service call

small gyro
#

I'll try that - thanks!

#

@winter wasp you were correct, "lost in translation" as my Norwegian entity was suddenly also available in English. Stupid mistake. thanks a million!

I'm not sure if this is the correct channel, but my History page does not load past just the filter line at the top. Not sure what I can do to fix it as no error seems to show in the log viewer.

#

In chrome if I wait long enough, where the graphs and what not would show just shows a sad face

rich eagle

Any errors in the browser log?

versed obsidian
#

nope

polar kelp
#

Do you get state history for individual entities?

versed obsidian
#

page doesnt load so I get nothing

polar kelp
#

I mean otherwhere. Like in the more-info dialogs.

versed obsidian
#

im thinking of deleting the db file under the assumption maybe something in it is corrupt

#

no that stuff appears fine when I look

#

welp that didnt help

looks like purging it seems to have fixed it

#

Does anyone know where I can find the love lace configuration file? I can't seem to find it on the file editor addon

gentle quartz
#

@main locust you have to create it.

main locust
#

Oh my

gentle quartz
#

It's not hard.

main locust
#

Nope I just didn't know I had to. I'll google it. I assume it goes in the same folder the configuration.yaml is

gentle quartz
#

Add this to your configuration.yaml

lovelace:
mode: yaml

main locust
#

kk thanks

gentle quartz
#

then you need to create ui-lovelace.yaml in that same directory

main locust
gentle quartz
#

In there, you can create your dashboard YAML

title: Home
views:
  - title: Home
    path: home
    icon: mdi:home
    badges: []
    cards:
      - type: markdown
        content: >-
            # Hello
            ## World
gentle quartz
#

You don't need to use it to just create custom dashboards with YAML

main locust
#

I'm trying to install kibibit theme and I need to add a resource to my lovelace configuration, according to it's readme

gentle quartz
#

Ah

#

Well, you can also register resources in yaml

main locust
# 
  - url: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comfortaa&display=swap
  type: css```
gentle quartz
#

You do that in configuration.yaml thusly:

lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  resources:
  - type: module
    url: /local/content-card-example.js
#

Yeah, so in your case:

lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  resources:
  - type: css
    url: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comfortaa&display=swap
main locust
#

So then I don't need to create another yaml?

#

Sorry, I wish themes were a little easier to install and manage

gentle quartz
#

What are you trying to do here?

main locust
gentle quartz
#

Gotcha. I take it you're not already using YAML for your dashboards?

main locust
#

No I am not

gentle quartz
#

Then forget everything I just said about lovelace and YAML.

#

You can just add those resources via the GUI

#

using the link you sent earlier

gentle quartz
main locust
#

I've added the front end portion to my configuration.yaml file, I'm just trying to figure out how to add the font

#

(Sorry for the confusion)

gentle quartz
#

that's okay

#

remove the bit from your configuration.yaml file - if you're doing all this through the GUI you don't need it.

main locust
#

Do you mean through HACS?

gentle quartz
#

You mean this, right?

lovelace:
  mode: yaml
main locust
#

Right now, this theme requires you to add the Comfortaa font as a resource to your lovelace configuration:

  - url: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comfortaa&display=swap
  type: css```
gentle quartz
#

yeah, take that out - you can do that through the GUI

main locust
#

I've already added

  ... # your configuration.
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
  ... # your configuration.```
gentle quartz
#

Oh right. Leave that alone then

#

I was just telling you to undo the config changes I told you to make 🙂

main locust
#

So I just need to figure out where to put

  - url: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comfortaa&display=swap
  type: css```
gentle quartz
#

Add it as a resource.

#

Enable "Advanced mode" in HA.

#

(that link tells you how to do that)

main locust
#

Gotcha and it's a stylesheet

gentle quartz
#

yep./

main locust
#

Thanks so much!

gentle quartz
#

np

#

i take it that worked?

main locust
#

I am working on it now. I'll update in a moment

gentle quartz
#

awesome.

main locust
#

Yes that worked!

#

Thank you

gentle quartz
#

Great!~

main locust
#

Even got a sick wallpaper set up for it

gentle quartz
#

neat

main locust
#

Are there any lovelace cards you would suggest I download from HACS?

gentle quartz
#

I don't know. I don't use HACS

#

Just in general I would say be careful with anything you download from HACS, for no other reason than you are running someone else's code on your machine.

main locust
#

Yes for sure

gentle quartz
#

Not wanting to cast any aspersions on HACS specifically, it's just something to keep in mind with any kind of app store.

#

There is the temptation to go mad and start installing stuff (I know, I've been there too!) but it's always worth keeping that in mind 😉

#

I've actually never used HACS, but I'm thinking about this through the lens of (for example) NPM

main locust
#

Yea it's always good to have security in mind

#

If I want to reference a png for a background that I put in /config/www the url should be /local/config/www/<file name>, correct?

Home Assistant becomes slow/goes to sleep after few minutes
Hardware:

  • Pi 4 4GB
    -Official PSU
    -UGREEN USB 3.0 to Sata Adapter
    -MX500 250GB SSD
    -Conbee 2
    -Aqara Mini Switch
  • Wifi Light

Software:
Supervisor Version - supervisor-2022.01.0 (i was on regular version earlier and just tried the BETA and same issue)
Operating System - Home Assistant OS 7.2
Core Version - core-2021.12.10

so the issue I'm having is that after few minutes it feels like Home Assistant WebUi goes to sleep and when I try to access it, it takes around 5-10 to load and once its loaded, I can go to any other page or reload and it loads in an instant. its just that initial loading time thats happening. if i was on config page and didnt do anything for few minutes, same happens when i refresh, first refresh takes time and then its instant after that.

is there any reason why it would do that? I have the App installed on my S10+ and it loads up quick without any issues.

Aqara switch seems to be working OK(ish) but there were 1 or 2 times when it didnt respond either and once I opened the webpage it also started working but I need to investigate this more before I pass it as same issue.

I can't immediately think of a reason why not. At the end of the day, it's just css on a web page

Your question might help someone else

#

@polar kelp thanks i will try .

@median jungle @gentle quartz Home Assistant makes heavy use of webcomponents, which are individually isolated elements each containing their code, and styling information inside themselves. Since they are made to be portable, they can't be easily modified from "outside". So It's not just CSS on a web page, and they will ignore almost any CSS you throw at them.

#

The exception is CSS variables, which is what themes are. A theme with yaml ha-card-background: teal ha-card-border-radius: 20px corresponds to the CSS css --ha-card-background: teal; --ha-card-border-radius: 20px; and core elements and well made custom cards will use e.g. css border-radius: var(--ha-card-border-radius, 5px); in their internal styles.
That way you can modify things to an extent.

#

No. sorry

Evening, I'm sure someone will tell me it's possible/not possible but I'm trying to use the custom-button card to colour change if my hive is currently in boost mode, this is one of attributes of my climate.hive_receiver called system mode. I'm trying to make it pickup if the mode is (for example) emergency heating then turn red. I've tried various versions and can't make anything seem to work. I thought you'd be able to style based on a attribute?
