Hello, I'm trying to access the Cleaning Map from my Neato Botvac and use the image as the background for the picture elements card. The vacuum_cleaning_map entity has this attribute:

entity_picture: >-
/api/camera_proxy/camera.downstairs_cleaning_map?token=627396f0ecb9779ec3blahc014f0eblah068ed8cb4blahf71695bd

But if I specify the URL without the token part it fails, and the token seems to change regularly. I've tried replacing the token with a long access bearer but this fails also. Is there a simpler way I can access the image with the Picture elements card through the HA API ?

Hi, I have just did a big update of my system, all went better than I expected for being 2.5years behind. However, my layout-card seems to be broken now and I can't figure out what has gone wrong. I went through the change log but nothing really jumped out. Does thishave to be changed at the raw code editor or is there a way I can fix this using the frontend editor?

Hi there, i installed the OS on a virtual machine and it tells me it is preparing but instead of the twenty minutes it has been 8h so far... Even a restart didn't help, it's still stuck. Any hints what to look at?

I still run 2021.10.7 since I really don't like the more-info change where the headline "History" and "show more" was introduced. I actually prefer the really old version even before the tabs were introduced.
Since you can do basically anything with HA as long as you know how, I guess I can upgrade to a later version and then just change a file or two manually to get the old more-info dialog. Since I don't even know where to begin, I thought I could ask someone who does.
Anyone here knows how?

#

You can replace any integration with a custom component, and frontend is one of them, but that's the frontend as a whole. It's quite complicated to change a detail of it.

Ok, thanks. Didn't realise frontend actually is an integration.

I'm new and want to add some add-ons to my HA. I wondering about the performance of GitHub integration to reach the add-on repo versus just downloading the (typically) .js file to /www. Or am I completely confused? Thanks.

fiery ledge
#

not add-on but custom cards/resources 😉 dont mention add-on here or you'll get redirected to #add-ons-archived .... its a matter of choice: automation versus manual control. both are easy. my personal choice is manual, and 1 integration (HACS) less to maintain or have issues with when down. others will tell you differently.

Hi! I have a IR sender setup on ESP8266 via ESPHome. I've made a switch to turn on my Stereo System. I'd like to have displayed state of the button in lovelace. I am aware that I can't get the "real" state, but I'd like to simulate it, so each time I press the button it toggles between "on" and "off". I've written this in configuration, but it still doesn't show the state on button. Can anyone help? Also how can I put my yaml code here?

I assume this is an easy fix and I am just missing something. This morning when I woke up and I went to turn on media devices (TV/AppleTV/Audio Receiver) from the "media player" card on the dashboard, nothing happened. I restarted HA same issue. Then I manually turned on all devices and tried to operate each one from the media card SUCCESS there including powering the devices off. However, all devices will not power back on via the media card. So, I went to the "Dev Tools" and manually called the service to media_player.device - turn_on. That works! So, I have a feeling it's an issue with the card or dashboard of some sort. Also, I tried to download the "mini media player" card from HACS and it suffered the same issues as the default media player card.

attributes is another thing. need to figure that out based on the existence of (custom) attributes....

Perhaps this got missed from earlier... but does anyone know of a good floorplan maker (2d is fine, but preferably something where I can map it out with a cell phone)

currently I am fighting myself to find the correct path to the more-info-content which contains the ha-expansion-panel.... (attributes drop down 😉 )

found it: ```
more-info-content {

That hides Brightness and Color sliders as well, but I still like it 🙂

Oops I hadn’t spotted that yet. Let me try and isolate the dropdown….

It feels like christmas here, so I'll continue wishing:
Being able to hide the sliders is also useful, so if possible to to sliders and/or attribute drop-down would be even better.
Again, great works. Thanks!

@gusty wing A few people recommended that, but I don't see a way to export to a line/CAD type output... So, all the work is now tied to their website.

#

@gusty wing Did I miss something?

#

@polar kelp Same export issue with Sketchup... everything is 'trapped' online without a pro membership

#

I'm leaning towards sweet home 3d or just jump into FreeCAD

polar kelp
#

There’s still one version available for download, I think. It’s very outdated, though.

limpid shadow
#

Do you use the download version?

#

The blog I read said it was too buggy to be useful anymore.

polar kelp
#

I recommend sketchup because it’s very easy to learn. But it’s not a real cad tool.

#

I switched to fusion360 for all my real needs.

limpid shadow
#

I don't need a real cad tool... but I also don't want to be locked into a single ecosystem

gusty wing
#

@limpid shadow ye similar i do happen that ive a free export back then

#

Its been a long time

limpid shadow
#

With all of the 'AI' measuring tools... I was hoping that I could approximate it using something 'easy' and then adjust with real measurements if something seemed off

#

I was honestly hoping I could use the Roomba 'map' logging to help... but it is useless

#

I'm trying to get completely away from hosted solutions... Google is (maybe now, they keep changing their minds this month) eliminating 2 free services that me and my family use daily

#

Google voice forwarding for 'personal' accounts... and the free google for domains (changed names a handful of times... work* something now)

#

Those were 'free forever' services... if Google can't 'afford' to keep a few thousand early adopters happy... I don't have a lot of hope for everyone else.

#

Once I have everything pulled back in... I'm going to research the 'free tier' of the various services... and set up backup services on one of those, with the ability to pull it all back home... or have that account closed and a new 'free' one created, if the free services expire or simply go away

gusty wing
#

Its a 1 time payment i think

limpid shadow
#

It's not really that I'm opposed to paying for anything... but I have friends and family all set up with accounts... I am not going to pay monthly per-account fees

gusty wing
#

For floorplanner

#

Then u get to export as a PNG of a 3d map

limpid shadow
#

$29/mo

gusty wing
#

I like it coz i suck ar cad and using it is like playing sims

limpid shadow
#

That's to get export turned on

gusty wing
#

Yep

limpid shadow
#

So, not a one time fee 🙂

#

I mean, I could pay $30 and cancel... assuming I never need to edit it again...

#

but I want to put the furniture in it... be able to mess around with it... perhaps use it for AR/VR stuff that's starting to pop up

#

definitely use it for home assistant and such

#

Since this is not something that is critical... I can definitely live without having a floorplan for any of those... I want to keep this free

gusty wing
#

Nonono

limpid shadow
#

There are open source tools, but even floorplanner doesn't help

gusty wing
#

U can just use a $5 credit instead

limpid shadow
#

I don't want to export images... I want to save it as an editable file

#

That way if Floorplanner decides to make it $300/mo

#

I am not stuck

gusty wing
#

Thats enough for 1 project

limpid shadow
#

I suspect we'll move furniture or add furniture some time before we move out of here 🙂

#

So, I need something I can maintain over time without issues

#

Also, for AR, I need a model... not an image

#

I hope this doesn't come across as argumentative... Just explaining why it doesn't sound like a good [lol] plan

gusty wing
#

I understand where u are getting. However i personally do not update my floorplan ever since i had it

limpid shadow
#

I have really been enjoying VR... So, the ability to import this as a true 3d model is a big one

#

There are some primitive tools to do AR or even like virtually move furniture around

#

IKEA has the beginnings of one... I suspect that's only going to get bigger

#

So, being able to just be like... Ok, here's the house... what if we put the cabinet THERE

#

would be a very useful and fun thing

#

And it is a 3 story house

#

(I have 4 kids and a big house... so, I have no choice but to be frugal)

#

Anyways... TMI... thanks for the help 🙂

gusty wing
#

np just so you know, you dont need a subscription

limpid shadow
#

I was hoping someone had used one of the various sweet home 3d or similar

gusty wing
#

i looked at it again, you can buy credits

limpid shadow
#

When I looked up export, it said that export was a pro only feature

gusty wing
#

with $5 i think you can get a decent png

limpid shadow
#

Again, a static image is not useful for me except for very limited usecases

#

I need a 3d model

#

If I can access CAD export with just credits... that would be viable

gusty wing
#

Ok, was thinking you were only interested in using as a kiosk floorplan. just letting you know what works for me
Mine is relatively static with almost permanent furniture/position
https://postimg.cc/Z9mnwJQL

limpid shadow
#

They look really good... but I want to use it more functionally, which means either staying in that one app (which won't do AR) or paying to export to a 'real' format.

#

SweetHome3D has some paid unlock... I was leery of it because some 'freemium' programs start to pull features away after a while

#

However, it is FOSS, so that's much safer... if they start to pull that stuff... and it is useful... someone will fork it

#

Ouch, it's a SWING application... that's been deprecated for years

Hi, when i add a card it shows ok in the preview but when i save it all cards become invicible.

#

Where can i see where there is an error there? (I know how to raw edit it and remove, that's ok) But i need to know why it b0rks everything sio i can fix.

#

OMG it werkz,, adding the right entity made it work ok. Without it.. it prevents all cards and the add button from rendering.

hey folks I started tackling an overhaul of my frontend using this thread:

#

I have the templates,sensors, everything filled in, except the pop-ups and browser mod

#

So Im not sure what I missed, am new to using yaml for lovelace

Is there a way to embed JS in a Markdown card or a custom card? It would be so cool to be able to use https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/ as we could then make templated live network diagrams on Lovelace.
Here is a very simple example of how to embed a simple diagram:

  graph LR
      A --- B
  </div>
 <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>
 <script>mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true});</script>

BTW the HTML above works great in a plain HTML file in the www directory, but it is static, so it's not useful.
This is my attempt using the markdown card:

     content: |
           {{ "<div class='mermaid'>" }}
           {{    "graph LR"}}
           {{        "A --- B"}}
           {{    "</div>" }}        
           {{  "<script src='/local/mermaid.min.js'></script>" }}
           {{  "<script>mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true});</script>" }}
           {{  "<a href='/local/mermaid.min.js'>The file is here</a><br>" }}```
I added the last line to confirm that the link is working (it is) and the HTML is rendered as HTML (it is). I can click on the link and the JS file opens. The two script lines above it, however render as plain text.
This is my attempt using the custom-card-example
```   this.content.innerHTML = `
      The state of ${entityId} is ${stateStr}! <br>
      <script src="/local/mermaid.min.js"></script>
      <script>mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true});</script>
      <div class="mermaid">
          graph LR;
              A --- B;
           </div>      
      <a href="/local/mermaid.min.js">The file is here</a><br>
    `;```
Again - the content inside the div render as plain text.
I have tried everything I know. Hopefully someone who knows more can help.

Quick question about !include_dir_merge_list. If I have !include_dir_merge_list lovelace/ and in there have folders and in them folders have .yaml files for different views. How does the sorting work? It does not seem to take my folder names in to account here.

lovelace/
  a_home/
    home.yaml
  b_rooms/
    bathroom.yaml
    bedroom.yaml
    etc
  c_appliance/
    media.yaml

For some reason it reads the content from c_appliance first, then b_rooms and last a_home

#

I tried numbering the .yaml files and all but can't get it in right order

#

I put the home.yaml in the lovelace folder instead as it was alone anyways and that works

azure canopy
#

I don't have different folders, but only one, renaming the yaml files worked for me

Hi, in an entities card, can I show the time the state last changed instead of the state itself? I know I can show attributes but last_changed is not an attribute of the entity.

polar kelp
runic igloo
#

Thanks, can I combine that with an entity-filter card? secondary_info must be set for the entity but the filter is doing that dynamically.
I want to show binary sensors representing open windows but I want to know how long they have been open and only show them when they are open.

polar kelp
#

Sure. Just specify the entity the same way in the filter as you would in the card.

# 
type: entity-filter
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.my_sensor
    secondary_info: last_changed
state_filter:
  - "on"```

Hi Folks,
I got a noob question on Homematic/ Climate integration in the HA Frontend.
please view Screenshot --> https://piic.me/img-190
the "Heat" Mode is the false vocabulary --> should be "Manually". Is there any way to rewrite the "Heat" Word with "Manually" and Change the Flame-Symbol?

#

On HA select "Heat" Mode sets the radiator thermostat correctly in "manually" mode, there you can choose "Boost, Eco or Comfort". Works fine, but my wife an childs are confused, that the Walltablet says "heat" when it´s for real in manually mode and not heating

Woo!

silk mulch
#

I just installed a fresh copy of haos that runs in a VM in my basement server room. I've installed genie-server and want to group my lights in various configurations so I can make scenes and control them with my voice. I've already added a bunch of my lights to the pre-existing rooms such as kitchen or bedroom. Almond does not want to operate on the default "areas". I was told I can configure the lights in "groups". The only way I see to do this is to hand roll a bunch of yaml in configuration.yaml. Is that right? Is there a better way to do what I'm describing?

wild stone
silk mulch
#

Even when I group the lights in configuration.yaml, genie complains that it cannot find a switch device. At this point, I'm lost how I can control a group of lights with Genie+Almond.

#

@wild stone , A single card?

#

What do you mean?

wild stone
#

I can post a picture but basically instead of having one button per light on the dash board I no have all the kitchen ones on a single button

#

used the term card as cause on the dash board when you try to add one to the dashboard it uses the term card

silk mulch
#

Ah, okay. How did you do that? I just made a group in configuration.yaml, and it just made another "card" with a top switch for all the lights on that card as well as each individual light underneath.

wild stone
#

It creates a entity so you can then just use the one card with that entity

#

type: light entity: light.kitchen_lights

#

for example

#

just have to match the entity to whatever you named it

silk mulch
#

I did this for a light group.
'''group:
Cafeteria:
name: Cafeteria
entities:
- light.sink_left
- light.kitchenette_left
- light.stove
- light.kitchenette_right
- light.kitchen_sink_right
- light.fridge_left
- light.fridge_right
- light.entry_landing
- light.pantry'''
Not sure where I'd put your yaml.

wild stone
#

just anywhere really

#

mine is the bottom entry

#

mainly because i just made it

silk mulch
#

I'm kind of surprised there isn't a better interface for grouping lights.

#

#

How helpful.

honest coyote
#

@silk mulch Your config is for a standard group, not a light group. Check the format in the doc I linked above.

#

But the card behaviour you described also sounds like an Entities card.

#

A lot of stuff requires YAML config with no GUI option, at least the groups config is relatively simple 😛

silk mulch
#

Boardwarp, thanks.

silk mulch
#

do I want to do this in groups.yaml or configuration.yaml?

#

Or does it matter?

wild stone
dark dirge
#

You need to put it where your groups: key points to. If that's in configuration.yaml, then you put it there. If you have a line like groups: !include groups.yaml in configuration.yaml, then it goes in groups.yaml without the first group: line

What do you gals/guys use to keep your automations tidy when you start having more than 20?

rich eagle
#

Link them to areas, so I can filter by that in the automation list.

#

Although I am still below 20 ... so not the target audience of your question 😉

tacit cave
#

I just name them accordingly

#

I also typically try to make them all parallel with multiple inputs and reactions so that I minimize the number of automations I have

#

This makes them more complicated though.

#

I have to get better at that. I am an automation newbie.
Thank you both.

apart from backend aspects (this is #frontend-archived after all), I always have a fold-entity-row with the related automations in my cards/views... So in all my views I have the most relevant automations at hand. Next to that a dedicated view with some auto-entities filters does the trick ('triggered today', triggered in the last 5 minutes, 'on' , 'off'). Need another filter? throw it in auto-entities.

Hi everyone. When I connect a new object and have new enitites, Homeassistant automatically finds the appropriate icons (bulb, water or watever). How is the association done ? Basically there are 2 questions : how does it know that a bulb is a bulb ? And how does it make the association bulb => mdi-lightbulb (or even better, several mdi icons depending on state) ?

Is it possible to code the URL path for action:url to open in a new browser tab?

tacit cave
#

You'd have to modify the html. Not sure if there's a custom card that can do that for you

strong falcon
#

It seems to be card based. I have action:url in an Entities card and clicking it, opens the URL in a new tab. I have action:url setup in a custom: mini-graph-card and it opens in the same tab. I was expecting tap_action would be controlled globally

You might try without the target: line. Also, try it without the fan_speed: low line too and see if it doesn't complain. That may point to wrong usage in the data. So this works as you have it in Dev Tools?

not sure if this is integration or frontend, but the new "media" browser, is there any documentation about it's functionality somewhere? I've searched the docs but nothing jumps out. My main question was about if or how I would go about being able to select Alexa Media players (from the corresponding integration) to be selectable from the media browsers player chooser? Also I wondered if there is a way for this to work with things like playing music from the spotify media player and then selecting it to play the output to lounge Alexa media player or whatever? I can browse and play spotify by selecting spotify in the media chooser, I can select the media player to play it to, but in order to do that I have to fallback to the home assistant media dialog and then select the speaker from source.

tired widget
#

Okay, so bit of a thought that I think belongs in here... While working on dashboard design, I found that there did not seem to be an option to increment/decrement values such as brightness or temperature on a device without using either the slider or a submenu. In the quest to solve this, I found that I could create a script to do it, alongside a couple of buttons on the dashboard. Is there a better way to do this, or did I find the best method? It works, but since I am passing it off to someone who is less technically inclined, I am very much wanting to see if there is an easier way than creating two scripts and buttons to do it for each device...

#

Also, I did attempt to read the documentation and spend about an hour forcing it...

Hi, I have an button question. I got an Ads communication. With my beckhoff. But my beckhoff controls everything. so if I a wanna turn on a light it just needs a pulse. But HA doesn’t work like that. what I do is use a switch in HA , when I turn it ON in HA the PLC receives that ON signal use it and put the switch back to OFF.
that worked for me fine.

what i want to achieve is the following:
I wanna see of my light is on or not in reality.
Is het posible to make a button thats uses the switch to turn a light on and off and colors the icon when it is realy on with a binary sensor comming from my bechoff.

Do you know how to do this (enable the color picker for custom theme)?

Hello. I want to make a change / add a fix to Lovelace. When an entity is on or off, the icon changes. But for a screen reader user, the label never changes. I probably have about enough knowledge to look at this code and after some time, determine how to add an aria-label to it so that when the state is on or off, that state is reported through that aria-label to users of screen readers. My question is, do you know if there are any recommendations / guides / people I should talk to before plunging into this? Or should I just mark it as a bug and walk away? I have contributed to a few projects in the past. I'm by no means a developer. But I know enough to be dangerous. Suggestions very welcome. Thanks.

As to your problem... I think it could be done similar to this:

type: button
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /lovelace/kamery

This is my button in lovelace UI that changes the lovelace card to "kamery" card on button press

#

If you set the path to the map card, it should work as expected (aka. override the default tap action to change view to map card)

#

@buoyant jewel Are you familiar with .yaml configurations?

Hello folks!

I am in a bit of a pickle, probably because I am not very familiar with TypeScript or Lit-Html.
I am trying to build two custom cards. I started both of them on top of the boilerplate card.
One of the custom cards takes only one entity in its config, just like the boilerplate.
The other custom card takes multiple entities in a list.

For reasons I do not understand, the custom card with only one entity is perfect, it is able to successfully re-render when the entity state changes, but the custom card with multiple entities does not re-render.

I have been trying to hack around it to get it to work regardless--adding timeouts and intervals to check state in hass and update properties, trying to create more states and properties in the class, adding a call to requestUpdate on the new properties, changing the hasChanged method to detect the property changes correctly, trying to instantiate the new properties in a constructor instead of inside render--all without success.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can do to test this/fix this?

Nah... I actually never got to use the maps yet, but I think atleast the tap actions is a good start... Try to find some action, that will do that for you :)

west yarrow
# buoyant jewel But will it take you to where the person is located on the map?

I tried to do a little research. Unless you are able to find some specific url of the navigation card, which will do what you want in combination with the tap action (I don't think such url exists), you will probably have to do some work arounds.

Judging by the map view info (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/map/) it lacks a lot in features compared to the map card in lovelace UI.

My suggestion in case you have a limited amount of tracked devices (ie. 3 or so) I would just create hidden lovelace views for each of those devices with one full-screen map card and use the tap action navigate method described before. This is a very ugly workaround as a new card will be needed for every single device, but it should be very easy to setup and it should work.

You will only be offered "updates" i.e. later versions than you are running. Updates are released as necessary and contain all the previous updates. So if you were on 2022.12.10 and updated to 2022.2.0 then missed 2022.2.1 but went straight to 2022.2.2 you would not be missing out on anything. You can check what version you are on on the Configuration / Settings / Info page. Not really a frontend question, more like your installation method channel.

From the lovelace doc; Once you take control of your UI via YAML, the Home Assistant interface for modifying it won’t be available anymore and new entities will not automatically be added to your UI.
Why is it one cannot keep this and still have other ones? I kind of like the "catch all" thing about it but also want some with only select stuff...

Hello, I think what I'm trying to do is add a "custom card". Where is the www directory for HA?

#

Is this literally "config/www"? I've searched my entire filesystem for any directory called "www". It's nowhere to be found. Is this just bad documentation? Am I expected to make this directory someplace?

dark dirge
#

You make that directory and restart HA

magic thunder
#

Where do you make that directory?

#

And moreover, why? Does not content of this type already live in some wwwroot?

dark dirge
magic thunder
#

So I've read this, and it doesn't answer those questions.

#

"Create a new file in your Home Assistant config dir as <config>/www/content-card-example.js and put in the following contents"...

#

First, there's no /www/ on my filesystem period.

dark dirge
#

Create it

magic thunder
#

Create it where?

dark dirge
#

Sheesh

magic thunder
#

Sheesh is right, those are bad docs.

dark dirge
#

<config> is your config directory

#

Yes

magic thunder
#

What in heaven's name defines that? Where is it relative to the HomeAssistant directory?

dark dirge
#

You're very lost

#

Your config directory

#

Put it there

magic thunder
#

Look, first, your docs don't even mention the need for making the directory.

#

Where is the config directory? What defines it?

dark dirge
#

'My'?

#

Ok

magic thunder
#

Can I, let's say, "cat homeassistant.conf | grep -i configdir" or something?

#

What defines it? Why is it hard to find?

dark dirge
#

Your quarrel is with the author of whatever card you're trying to install

magic thunder
#

No, my quarrel is with the documentation on your website that tells me to put configuration files in non-existant directories.

dark dirge
#

Ok

magic thunder
#

That is the quarrel, primarily. What defines <config directory>?

dark dirge
#

You did when you installed home assistant

magic thunder
#

Right, and I want to see its absolute path.

#

So that I can know where to create a wwwroot directory, for some reason that doesn't already exist.

#

It would have been easy to just find it in the filesystem, had it been there and empty.

#

What you're actually telling me, is there's no one-liner for finding the configuration directory setting?

#

When I need to script the configuration directory, I should echo "Ask the user where it is?"

#

It's honestly strange to see people offer support like "Other installs it may be a different location, including possibly somewhere under your home directory."

dark dirge
#

It's not rocket science

#

It depends on how you installed HA

magic thunder
#

I agree, it's not rocket science at all. But yet you can't tell me where that directory is set.

dark dirge
#

It's your system

#

/config

#

There

magic thunder
#

No. I want to script and know that directory is where HomeAssistant is looking for its configuration files.

#

Where is it defined, as a living object?

dark dirge
#

/usr/share/hassio

#

Maybe there

magic thunder
#

Maybe? I need to script it. What can I run to find the configuration directory, always.

dark dirge
#

Wherever you told it to be if you installed via docker

magic thunder
#

These continue to be very bad answers. I need to know how HomeAssistant finds the configuration directory for itself.

#

I can't work with maybe.

dark dirge
#

I guess you're on your own

magic thunder
#

Don't offer bad answers. If it's a shortcoming in your documentation, or if you changed something, expect plenty more "stupid" questions.

dark dirge
#

<plonk>

magic thunder
#

So if you can help clean that up into an objective answer, that would make things much better! If it's a series of maybes, it's not good documentation really.

Another char at Github shows the code starting with "type" but above that they have this code:

do I use that before "type" or what?

I'm trying to edit some CSS code in the custom:media-player card but I'm having problems figuring out how to locate the line. The file I am looking for is src/components/mediaControls.js but I only have the file mini-media-player-bundle.js. What is it that I am not understanding?

polar kelp
#

Since web sites have to travel across the internet between the server and your computer, all the code they use should be as minimal as possible to save on precious bytes. Therefore, having variables named importantDataToSave or trashDataToDelete is wasteful when u and s could do. Unfortunately, this has proved to be a bit prone to bugs in the code, and therefore most developers opt to use the longer form in development, but have everything automatically renamed for distribution. That's what the -bundle.js file is. A whole bunch of files (separated for convenience) bundled into one which is then minimized and (possibly) obfuscated to hide any secret algorithms.

#

To change the css you need to clone the entire repository, make your changes and then recompile everything into a new bundle.

Anyone know if it's possible to round a sensor line graph card or somehow cast the number to an int?

# 
- type: sensor
  graph: line
  entity: sensor.downstairs_thermostat_current_temperature
  detaiL: 3
#

According to that sensor, the temperature of my kitchen is 64.999999999999999999999999999

#

According to my thermostat, it's 65.

#

This is clearly a floating point bug and the solution would be to cast the value to an int. However, since I'm just directly referencing an entity, that doesn't appear to be possible...

#

as far as I know, I can't do this:

  entity: sensor.downstairs_thermostat_current_temperature | int
mild veldt
#

create a template sensor to round it or use my config-template-card to round it

gentle quartz
#

I was afraid that might be the answer...

do we have any custom card allowing us to template the view icon? its about the last feature of legacy CustomHeader I would love to replace . Struggling with card-mod-theme but can not make it happen just yet. I can style the ha-svg-icon in paper-tabs, but not change it.

# 
          color: {{'red' if states('sensor.alerts_notifying')|int(default=0) > 0}};
        }``` and trying that for the element ha-svg-icon simply does nothing. not even throw an error 😉
#

would be a nice feature for config-template-card. Or card-mod ofc, if possible at all, but then would need tp be called view-mod.... thinking of which, wouldn't lovelace-gen allow hat?

You can use the element inspector in the browser. Find your element, select its top or left property and move it with your arrow keys, then save the value you end up with.

hi i desperately need help
I just moved and took my server with a home assistant VM on it with me and got it all set back up. Everything was working fine until suddenly it wasn't. Couldn't access HA from my phone anymore through the app for some reason.
Ended up installing DuckDNS with the help of a tutorial and after restarting and logging in to my duckdns url, it just says it can't connect

#

I have access to the CLI and have been trying to edit the config file to remove the lines that redirect it to the duckdns url, but I can't figure that out either

#

basically I can't access the ui at all, only url that works is the duckdns one, but when I log in it just says it cant connect

#

wait weird, I just tried it on my server itself (the one running the VM) and it worked

im so confused

It really depends on what the value it is you want to get out and how that value is rendered in the page. A full-on scrape is no fun, but if that value is returned in response to a GET, then you can use NodeRed's GET node to grab it. Depending on what comes back, you can push it to the MQTT server. If your coding skills are as limited as mine, then NodeRed has other cool nodes to help you process complex data. I have been using this method to get fuel prices in my area and garbage collection info for a few years.

Is there a way to make to make some integrations larger in the integrations overview? I've got 20 shelly devices, but have to scroll through 3 of them in a tiny area.

#

Screenshot (13.02.2022 07:56:14)

#

Sorry, I'm too stupid to post a mobile device screenshot. The area for Shelly is the same size as the area for met.no, even though shelly (and mobile devices) has a scroll list, and met.no just one "device"

#

Would love to have a larger list of all the shellies, especially since there is free space on my tablet.

I have installed minimalist ui and got a dashboard installed with the name 'UI Lovelace Minimalist' that I want to remove.
All guide I can find points me to configuration.yaml where there are nothing about dashboard or ui_lovelace.yaml which I dont have.
What am I missing, have the product just been upgraded and all I see online is obsolete?

Hello
A few weeks ago I would pressed a button on the front end, and the boiler ran for an hour and I had a timer that counted down using a timer helper
for some reason, it doesn't count down anymore
I don't recall making any change
here is the code
https://www.codepile.net/pile/zJB0zjlV
I made a simpler version of the timer on lovelace that's in the code
can anyone see why it stoped running?
thanks

Yes, but a couple things that don’t bother me but will really get others to not like you:

  1. don’t DM people asking for help. The channels are here for a reason. You get help from multiple people instead of just one.
  2. there is no need to tag people when the back and forth is obvious. I told you I would help, I will
  3. be patient. Everyone here who helps, does it on their own time and because they enjoy helping others. They aren’t paid support and shouldn’t be treated as such.
  4. don’t ask open ended questions like…..any know about themes. State your problem, as accurately as possible, and wait for help.
dusk schooner
#

Ok.

#

Basically I installed a google dark theme onto my home assistant instance and im basically unable to figure out how to set it up so it looks similar to the images shown in the documentation for the theme

tame dove
#

I mean, once you do the steps for themes, depending how you do it, it should just work. I haven’t done themes in ages but from memory you also need an automation to change the theme. You should also have a themes section under your profile

dusk schooner
#

According to the documentation I just had to install the theme using HACS

#

and enable it in the settings

tame dove
#

Did you enable it under your profile?

dusk schooner
#

Yup

tame dove
#

Did your theme change?

dusk schooner
#

Yeah under theme on my profile

tame dove
#

Read what I wrote 😉

dusk schooner
#

that is what its supposed to say

#

Like ik i gotta add the things myself but im unsure how to get the sections

#

with the text

wheat current
#

themes are color and styles, not content

dusk schooner
#

So how do i get the content shown

#

in that documentation

wheat current
#

Ask the user that created that image on how they did it

tame dove
#

Or use yaml and play with it 😉

wheat current
#

YAML or not does not matter at this point

#

generally just makes it harder to do

dusk schooner
#

nice

#

so i managed to do this

#

but how do you change the title text

hello 'm having a strange behaviour on my last_changed and history for a sensor (they don't match and no reboot was preformed).

#

if I see a sensor I get that it was last changed 30 minutes ago... and it should have the same value for long hours... if I go to it's history it says that it was last changed over 10 hours ago... that is correct... so the history is ok, the last_changed is wrong. I know that reboot clears the last_changed, but I didn't do any reboots to HA.

I'd like to modify the availability (tap action) and color of a button icon based on a template's state, is this possible with the default button card? (eg. button icon turns red and becomes disabled when template sensor's state is 0)

dark dirge
#

There is no 'availability' for a button card. You can call a script that uses a condition to decide whether to do something when the button is pressed

neat moat
#

Any ideas of another card I could use to reflect that condition's status in the frontend?

dark dirge
#

Custom button card

neat moat
#

The use case is this: When I run my wax melters, I increment a run counter, when that run counter gets to 8, my template sensor gets to 0 (8 - run_counter). When my template sensor is 0 (or counter is 8, whichever works), then the scent warmer button will turn red and the tap action will no longer work.

kind shellBOT
neat moat
#

I was hoping to be able to track the switch entity as well to see if it's on or not, so I can adjust the icon to blue.

But now I'm thinking I should re-evaluate my template sensor, and have it return one of three states: 'off', 'on', and 'needs_replacing', then modifying state color based on that template.

and then combining a picture entity and glance

is without clicking it

it automatically just streams

Are there any way I can interact with Home assistant via script? (The powershell module from flemminss need more development, so anything else)

neat moat
#

What kind of script?

dark dirge
#

webhook, REST, websocket

topaz bluff
#

javascript, python, powershell

#

i would like to do things to manage my HASS like export all my devices as object and possible bulk change object, like devices or entities

#

And yes, they can use protocols like REST, that ok

dark dirge
#

those are your options

topaz bluff
#

but REST is not a script alanguage

dark dirge
#

none of them are. they interface with HA from your script

topaz bluff
#

so what you are saying is that there are no available script packages for HOME assistant yet`?

#

I would like to have something like Homey Scripts to Homey

dark dirge
#

HA is a platform that handles automation/scripting within it

topaz bluff
#

hmmm Home assistant scripting isnt really scripting, is it?

dark dirge
#

Maybe there are libraries that provide a wrapper around those external interfaces, but 🤷

neat moat
#

You can use Python to interact with a REST endpoint pretty easily

topaz bluff
#

hmmm..

#

okey

#

and handle them like objects?

dark dirge

you can write Python for AppDaemon and Pyscript to control HA, so 🤷

thank you @errant plover I have created another zone HomeZone that I base some automations on. Now I understand the limitations. Will play with home GPS position, otherwise it covers parallel street

errant plover

A better method of determining if you are home might be one of the wifi or bluetooth trackers. #integrations-archived can help with them.

marsh wadi
#

and how do you check the history of just this attribute? Create a new one to track it?

errant plover

Yeah, either use a graphing card that supports attributes, like apexcharts or the mini-graph card or make a template sensor from the attribute.

Hi, I have problem with both my wife's and my phones. When trying to open any dropdown menu it just shows briefly and disappears. I have to press it many times for it to stay open.

Hi,
I had a simplified dashboard I set for mine and my wife's default

but - we MOVED - so a bunch of stuff ended up in new rooms, etc.
I took this time to rename and unify how a bunch of items were named, but that just broke my simplified dashboard more
https://i.imgur.com/GGd71GM.png

on one of my other dashboards - I have the Lovelace auto-managed variety and it of course stayed up and working fine - but it has like 15 times as many items to interact with in it

#

is there a way to do like partially auto-managed?

#

like - let me say "Auto manage it, but filter out these types of controls"

#

for example - this is how I would do "Living Room" in the simplified version
https://i.imgur.com/joWwwi8.png

Living Room

  • Wifi Plug - Toggle
  • WLED behind TV LEDs - Toggle
  • ZHA Zigbee group for the main living Room lights - Toggle
  • Roku Ultra off in it's own separate Card

now - I added a Temperature & Humidity sensor too, but the auto-managed version has

Living Room

  • 9 different WLED entities
  • 3x entities per Light Bulb (1 light + 2x Energy (metering + Summation))
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • ZHA Group
  • Roku Ultra
    if anyone wants to see all that - https://i.imgur.com/CLAu9Eg.png

#

Is there any way to tell it sort of a filter, maybe?
so it could say

Living Room

  • Include Light groups
  • Include other switches / toggles (yeah, here I still might struggle against WLED for some parts)
  • Include Temperature/Humidity/Environmental sensors
    and have it just churn out a card for each room?

hey :3
Is it somehow possible to disable the "live view" of scenes when editing them in HA? For example, if I want to create a scene named "good night" to be enabled by my Alexa voice command. Whenever i try to edit the scene in HA, it instantly applies that scene while editing it. But then, at the end, I will be sitting in a completely dark/cold house when configuring it :/

#

Or would a script be a better choice for that "good night" scenario, rather than a scene?
