The closest option to "design for both" would be to use panel mode: false with a single vertical stack. But you won't get 2 rows of information. You'll get 1 row of cards. In my experience, this is how everyone handles mobile/desktop now adays on websites and thats how I handle it at my house. However that has the issue of "large whitespace on the left and right".

[icy shard]

Yeah, but as you said, probably best to seperate

[tacit cave]

exactly

so the choice is yours

I don't bother designing for desktop because I only develop on desktop.

[icy shard]

Thanks for the amazing tips 😃

[steady totem]

did you get an answer? i am facing the same problem (withings integration)

[oak steppe]

@steady totem - nope, I ended up adding internal / external URLs directly into the configuration.yaml instead, just unfortunate as this then locks the UI on that page to read-only, ah well

[steady totem]

thanks for the answer

On a history graph card in a view on the UI, if I alter the history card time span from 1hr to 2hr, some missing data (on 1hr) becomes visible - ~~https://imgur.com/Pq7Ag8z anyone else experiencing this and/or has resolved it?

[tacit cave]

history will only show data that exists

[tacit cave]

if you just made those sensors ~20 minutes ago and you tell the history card to show an hour, what state do you expect to see for the first 40 minutes of that hour?

[grave knot]

yet they do exist, e.g. Study active was on at 3.01pm through 4.43pm as seen on lower view, but upper view it only appears at 4.18pm (or am i misunderstanding you?)

[tacit cave]

was it being recorded? Have you set up recorder or history, or is that set to default?

[grave knot]

I have got some entities excluded from both recorder and history, yes; but it must be recorded (?) to be visible at 3.01. they only change between these 2 images is the timespan (1hr or 2hr)

[tacit cave]

If you didn't record the information, there's nothing to display

recorder does exactly what recorder implies

it records states

if you don't record a state at the moment that it happens, it's not in the database, and therefore can't be displayed at a future time

recorder is what you use to configure what home assistant stores in the database

history adds a page that you can configure to display things you recorded in the database

history card is basically a mini-history page that you can put anywhere in your interface. That too only displays what recorder recorded

lastly, if you DID have that info recorded, it's possible that you'd run into a caching issue or an update interval issue. Just refresh the page with a CTRL+F5

[grave knot]

I am now surmising that this is a result of the 2022.4 change "When the same set of state attributes already exists in the database, newly recorded state changes now only store a reference to the state attributes instead of saving the whole set of state attributes." and that when using a "history graph card" then in the time span selected it only picks up on a change (or restart), so older data can be missing

[tacit cave]

well, state attributes are not states

what you see in the history section is states

[grave knot]

if this is the case, maybe the data should be back filled on the 'assumption' there wasnt a change to record?

[tacit cave]

state attributes are attributes of a state object

things like 'friendly_name', and 'device_class'

state is not a state attribute

[grave knot]

Petro, thanks.. I am not an expert in the terminology, nor HA, so dont full understand what you are telling me, but I cant see why a shorter time span shows data as missing when it is there on a longer timespan view

[tacit cave]

^

[grave knot]

Ctrl-F5/caching does not appear to be a factor 😦

[tacit cave]

Then you're running into a bug assuming everything you've stated is correct

[grave knot]

or a 'limitation', I agree

[tacit cave]

not a limitation, I use these graphs all the time, and you'd also see this issue on the history page

they all use the same code

it should be showing all the state history if it exists

regardless of the time period

if it's not, it's a bug

[grave knot]

indeed.. if I reduce the timespan on the history page, I lose older data. https://imgur.com/A0rCq2N

How does one hide a yaml dashboard (from everyone) when the UI doesn't allow me to untick "Show in Sidebar" like I can with a UI created one?

[polar kelp]

Yaml dashboards are handled in yaml

[compact flame]

Super simple request. Is there a way to change the text color in the energy-devices-graph?

https://imgur.com/a/P2Rfm2J

Everything else in the dashboard follows the theme color of white for text except the energy dashboard. Thoughts?

Try secondary-text-color

Hello, I still have error 404 in browser and black screen on android app after upgrading to last core ver.
I find that in log:

I # frontend section in configuration.yaml and restart systemctl service but still no luck.

What can I do with that?

[polar kelp]

A lot more than any of us.

Seriously, what do you expect us to do with a cropped picture of a log? Pictures of text are ridiculous in itself, but a part of a picture of text is a whole new level.

Yes, it mentions frontend not being able to load. That's probably part of your problem. I'd guess there's something related to it above, but I can only guess.

[calm plank]

That is important part of log. This is very big log.

Most are that notification of devices.

Can I delete themes folder?

[calm plank]

That is log file.

[polar kelp]

You seem to be missing some required software for running core. Specifically a compiler.

Or well.. it's a requirement to install some python wheels.

I suggest you take this to #installation-archived

Especially if I'm wrong and you're not running a core install.

Thank you @polar kelp

I had been trying to add that to the individual cards which did not work. I changed that attribute in my theme yaml and it worked.

[polar kelp]

Yeah, the graph backend reads the css values a bit weirdly, so there'd be timing issues if you try to do it with card-mod I think.

[marsh wadi]

hi everyone. I am trying to use history card to display TDS and Temp sensor output on the same chart. Is it possible? Temp is 25C and TDS is around 400ppm

[errant plover]

You can only combine sensors with the same unit in the one core History Graph Card. Different units will display on different charts. Check out the third party ApexCharts card if you want different units on the one chart as it supports multiple Y-axes.

[marsh wadi]

thank you

[lime imp]

I would like to move from light groups defined in YAML to groups defined in the UI, now that this is supported in 2022.4. I haven't been able to locate any documentation or conversation online about making this transition. What would be the best channel to direct my question to? I'm hoping to find a path that's less work than copying over all my many light groups manually, but will do that right away, if it's the only way. Thank you to all the experienced folks who are contributing, BTW!

[vapid field]

Hello, having a problem with an manually created mqtt button. I made a project with an ESP and used the mqtt discovery and the mqtt integration to autodiscover some buttons provided by my ESP project. The buttons are also recognized as Entities and I can press them and the magic happens. However I want to add the Buttons to the Card "Livingroom" in the Dashboard, so I configured the Area to be "Livingroom", but the buttons do not appear at the dashboard. What do I make wrong? Here an example message defining the button autodicovered by HA:
Topic: homeassistant/button/beamer_power_button/config
Payload: {"unique_id":"beamer_power_button","name":"powerbeamer","command_topic":"ir_beamer","payload_press":"power","entity_category":"config"}

[fiery ledge]

there's no other way 😉 but, tbh, there's no need either, nor an advantage.. if you have set a unique_id in yaml, you can still edit them in the UI, and keep the quick list of contained entities within reach.

[fiery ledge]

tbh I dont see anything obvious.... you say it is empty in the editor, but is it empty in the frontend too? Dont you see anything? Do you have any errors in the inspector console? btw, you did install the config-template-card ....?

[jovial swan]

Ooh I didn’t think about the inspector. I’ll check that. And yes I did.

[halcyon mantle]

Hi, I'm trying to to use this on a picture elements card, but the color doesn't want to apply. Am I missing something obvious? - type: icon icon: mdi:transmission-tower-off style: top: 36% left: 88% "--paper-item-icon-color": red

[polar kelp]

It's much easier nowadays: yaml style: color: red

[halcyon mantle]

Thank you! Worked a charm... 🙏

Do you perhaps have a pointer to some documentation on this to save me some time in future?

[signal hornet]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/picture-elements/#configuration-variables

ah i do see its a little outdated

[halcyon mantle]

... and very scarce on the options/examples to use under 'style:'

[polar kelp]

The best thing you can do it get comfortable with your browsers element inspector and CSS rules for shadowDOM. It's in no way obvious stuff.

[halcyon mantle]

Thx! I have been trying to dodge that one, but guess the time has come to brush up on it...

[lime imp]

It seemed like the advantage was to maintain the groups in the UI, instead of the file editor. I think you are saying that the right way to transition is to manually recreate the groups entity by entity in the UI, if I want to maintain them there, is that correct?

[fiery ledge]

Correct

[icy verge]

is there a way to show a secondary value on the entity card?

[jovial swan]

I'm trying to show statistics for sensor.closet_temperature but it's not appearing as something with long-term statistics, and I don't yet understand why. Thread has details.

Never mind, I see now that I got state_class and device_class reversed - it has device_class: measurement state_class: temperature Oops.

[unborn hollow]

Hey there. I am using the switch.command_line integration, and i was wondering how can i prompt a confirmation dialog when the button is clicked (both on and off cases), and if the user does agree to the action performed, display a toast or a notification saying Request Sent or anything to notify the user

[dark dirge]

https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod

Although I don't know if it can solicit feedback from the user

[fiery ledge]

in yaml mode:```
lovelace:

resources: !include /config/lovelace/resources.yaml
dashboards:

ui-overview:
  mode: yaml
  filename: lovelace/dashboards/ui-overview.yaml
  title: Overview
  icon: mdi:view-dashboard```

change the title

[dark dirge]

Ah, custom button card to the rescue yet again: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#confirmation

[fiery ledge]

in UI mode, its here: config/lovelace/dashboards

and click the dashboard you want to edit

[pseudo berry]

I have custom button card in play but I have no clue how its possible to center my buttons in the lovelace card:

Anyone a hint?

[unborn hollow]

How can i use this with the switch.command_line integration i am using? Sorry i am new to this stuff

[dark dirge]

it's just a switch, so you would follow the instructions to install custom button card and use the switch as the entity

[unborn hollow]

okay an entity is not a card. I think I get it now

[dark dirge]

this does the confirmation part:

type: custom:button-card
entity: switch.fr_table_lamp
confirmation:
  text: Really?

[unborn hollow]

Thank you

[unborn hollow]

in my brain, I was thinking this part that is typed in config.yaml IS what will appear in the dashboard.

that stuff still isnt completely set in my mind, but I am getting there

[unborn hollow]

is there a way to bind the c key to search to /?

i think this is the correct place to ask this.
How do I install custom button card? I've installed HACS already. But when I search for button-card on it I don't find it

I cant even seem to follow the manual instructions

Place the file in your config/www folder
I have no www folder inside myconfig folder

[dark dirge]

Create it

Restart HA

[signal hornet]

what do you mean by center the bottons?

custom button card has a blank card which you might find useful

also you can use the custom layout card (https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card)

thats what I use for my mood tracker card

[fiery ledge]

test version for custom-ui, if you used it before, please have a try and report in the repo? https://github.com/Mariusthvdb/custom-ui/releases/tag/20220417-beta

[pseudo berry]

as you can see the tree collums are aligned left. But they should align centered in the card. I know about the blank cards, but a full card is way too much isn't it?

[signal hornet]

ah I see, are these in a grid card?

[inner stump]

Hi, I am debugging some JavaScript from dashboard where is used button_card and there is this code return entity === undefined || Math.round(entity.attributes.brightness / 2.54);. Is correct say if entity, this mean entity specified in config dashboard entity: switch.light_bedroom strict equal to "undefined" and if false then then return what is behind operator ||, but what return if is true ?

[pseudo berry]

https://pastebin.com/vf4PVFyA

is the code of the card

[signal hornet]

instead of a vertical stack with horizontal stacks try using a grid card with 3 columns

and then remove the width / height styles from the button cards

and just turn on the squares option in the grid

that way your cards will scale with whatever display you're on

[pseudo berry]

thank you will try that

[signal hornet]

https://pastebin.com/raw/BcUHg2H6

heres the code

[dark dirge]

It should return true based on the comparison

[fluid cypress]

has anyone had issues with password managers not autofilling on home assistant?

[unborn hollow]

How can I use a conditional inside a string? This is for the confirmation text of custom button card
Here's what I tried ( I just used what is done in python lol but ofc it doesnt work.) is it possible?
text: Are you sure you want to turn ${'Off' if entity.state=='On' else 'On'} NAS?

[dark dirge]

The docs have an example of that

In the confirmation section

[unborn hollow]

I saw this example yes

confirmation:
  text: '[[[ return `Are you sure you want to toggle ${entity.attributes.friendly_name}?` ]]]'
  exemptions:
    - user: befc8496799848bda1824f2a8111e30a

but my issue isnt getting it to popup

I've got that

The alert box shows this directly

Are you sure you want to turn ${'Off' if entity.state=='On' else 'On'} NAS?

rather than something like

Are you sure you want to turn off NAS

understand? I can send an image if needed

[dark dirge]

Set a variable before the return and reference it exactly as in the example

It's just JavaScript

[unborn hollow]

oh js

okay

[unborn hollow]

Where do I set it?

okay I got it to work

thank you

[unborn hollow]

[orchid dome]

Hi, all - Is it possible to know either 1) which user, or 2) whether the companion app or a browser is viewing a dashboard? I would like to have some conditional cards based on either one of those. I know that I could create fully separate dashboards for particular users, but that's a lot of duplication to maintain over time.

[polar kelp]

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch#mediaquery could help

[orchid dome]

I think that may well do the trick. I realized that I've had lovelave-state-switch installed for ages thinking that it would come in useful sometime. I'm thinking that I can combine browser_mod and lovelace_state_switch to control the card shown based on the viewing device.

Or even I class of device by adding a common prefix like "app" or "browser" to browser_mod device IDs and using a template to choose in the state switch card. Sound plausible?

[wanton trail]

Is there a way to set device_class for device_trackers?

I want them to show "Connected" / "Disconnected" instead of "Home" / "Away"

[opaque kiln]

If you use a template binary sensor, you can set the device class to any of the supported options. But why don't you want the device_tracker to show Home/Away?

[wanton trail]

@opaque kiln Its network devices from the unifi integration. So switches and accesspoints will always be "home" but might not be "connected". U see my point?

[opaque kiln]

Right, and they are created as device trackers by default by the integration I suppose. Then a template binary sensor whose state is the state of the device tracker but with a device class you specify could be the easiest way to get your results.

[fiery ledge]

i just tried: homeassistant: customize_domain: device_tracker: device_class: connectivity but guess that wont work 😉

template-entity-row can help out in this case

  - entity: device_tracker.unifi_udmpro
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - type: custom:template-entity-row
    entity: device_tracker.unifi_udmpro
    state: >
      {{iif(states(config.entity) == 'home','Connected','Disconnected')}}
    active: >
      {{is_state(config.entity,'home')}}
    secondary: >
      {{relative_time(states[config.entity].last_changed)}} ago```

throw that in an auto-entities card for your trackers, and you're set

[jagged jungle]

Hi Guys! Just got started with Home Assistant. Super cool stuff! I've tried creating a rest_command from here. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rest_command/ by just putting this in the bottom of my configuration.yaml file.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
rest_command:
  example_request:
    url: "http://example.com/"

I thought that it would magically generate a button in my dashboard that I could click and it would fire the rest command but thats apparently not how it works. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm missing?

[polar kelp]

If you click the little hammer at the bottom left and then go to the Services page I think you should be able to find rest_command.example_request there. As said in the page you linked this creates a service which scripts and automations can call.

You can also call it by e.g. a button card, but that has to be setup manually

If you make a REST switch on the other hand, that will create a switch entity which will show up in the frontend automatically https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.rest/

[jagged jungle]

Thank you @polar kelp ! Looks like the rest SWITCH doesn't support get method unfortunately so it'll have to be a button card

thanks for clearing it up!

for some reason though it seems the rest command isn't showing up as an entity. Do i need to register it somehow?

Oh it's optional it seems

[mystic fern]

Is stuff like this possible anymore? https://community.home-assistant.io/t/scenes-operating-as-a-switch/237228
I tried it and it didn't work but I am also super new to HA, so it could just be me. I know the UI has apparently changed a bit since 2020.

[polar kelp]

The button solution should work. Or you vould make template switches to trigger the scenes. The switches wouldn’t turn on and off, though.

[mystic fern]

Yeah this is what I have now, all scenes, I was mainly wanting the UI to be less tacky looking

[tranquil sphinx]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or I have too many custom cards interacting. Notice the further left the picture element the larger it is the further right the smaller it is.

It depends on the version of iOS it's running, but if it's not been updated in a few years then it's not supported.

[uncut quartz]

any idea which version works

does the latest ios version work?

if you have a GEN 1 Air then that is only iOS 12. Which is actually supported now I've looked it up (iOS 10 and up supported).

Sure. And all you need next to the template in the button-card config is the entity and the triggers-update field.

[formal python]

Will take a look 😉

[formal python]

Hm, harder than it looks while having zero coding skills

I'm using for the firs time card_mod to modify 2 mushroom cards inside a vertical stack, but even if I see the DOM tree getting updated, I don't see any changes applied, what am I doing wrong?

card_mod:
  style: |
    mushroom-state-item {
      color: black;
      display: flex;
      align-items: center;
      justify-content: center;
    }

[formal python]

@fiery ledge Thanks. I have spent almost 3 hours yesterday to read documentation on GitHub and create this small button by myself. Ain’t much but it’s honest work 🤣 For now I need to add section to this button with time when it was switched (like 1hr ago) and something to do with localisation of units system-wide.

[royal patio]

I think it's a problem loading the card-mod.js, I have configured it with /config/www/community/lovelace-card-mod/card-mod.js but that redirects me to a blank config screen, if I remove /config I just get a 404, should I configure anything to make www public or something like that?

[royal patio]

I managed to access successfully the js file replacing /config/www with /local. No errors now, but the styles aren't applied anyway

[fiery ledge]

anyone around to test window.location.pathname in inspector console, and notice the path isnt included on the first tab in any dashboard? (throwing errors on the Js templates in button card..... ) please see: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/12373 would appreciate some feedback

[royal patio]

I get this in mine

location.pathname
'/lovelace/default_view'

[fiery ledge]

right, thx, just realized I updated to the latest frontend 20220420.0 - latest in dev nightly. so unless you use that too, my question wouldn't apply. You have more than 1 dashboard in yaml mode?

[fiery ledge]

np. just for your info, this is all you need for that button, when you also have the templates in place: - type: custom:button-card template: button_switch entity: switch.tv_library triggers_update: sensor.tv_library_actueel name: Tv Library and it is using the icons set in the backend for the switch.

if you dont have those set in the backend, you can add it to the button-card with the same templates in place, but a slightly adjusted config per button: - type: custom:button-card template: - button_switch - var_icon entity: switch.printer_library triggers_update: sensor.printer_library_actueel name: Print Libr. variables: on_icon: mdi:printer off_icon: mdi:printer-off

entities _actueel are the power sensors for the switch, and make the display of the actual power up to date in the button

[dull tinsel]

I am trying to use a apexcharts but get the error "/// apexcharts-card version 1.10.0 /// value.series is missing." I am setting "type: custom:button-card" from the examples but seems like I am missing version and cannot find any documentation how to specify version. Anyone who know what I am missing here?

[formal python]

Ok. Thanks again. As for now I made it without templates. Just a card based on button states.

[fiery ledge]

where? you didnt post any config. we need more to be able to help you.

[royal patio]

I guess my issue is with the selectors inside #shadow-root... but I've been following the documentation and trying something like this doesn't work either:

card_mod:
  style:
    mushroom-state-item:
      $: |
        div.container {
          justify-content: center;
          background-color: yellow;
        }

do I have to select from the root element? I'm applying this outside of the vertical-stack in the yaml

[dull tinsel]

Thanks, your answer helped. New to cards and thought the error was to the only line I had written but it was referring to the total config. Solved now, thanks!

[fiery ledge]

hehe, glad to have been of assistance, even by only asking for more info 😉 cool.

Hey guys, situation as follows:
Have a shelly, controlling my garage door, and a external wifi reed sensor (binary sensor). What i'm trying to archive is, that if the garage door is open an open icon is displayed and if it is closed, a closed icon. In custom button card there is a state object but as fas as i understand it'S relative to the controlled entity and this is the shelly... Any Ideas? Code looks like this:

Anyone know if it's possible to vertical align mushroom card chips? I can do it fairly easily if I edit the CSS in the inspector, but wasn't sure if there was a built-in way. And if not, is there a 'standard' way to add custom CSS to a HA dashboard?

[lime glacier]

I am casting some lovelace views to a chrome cast, but I find its not centered... from left to right its fine, but the standard weather card I am using seems to have a lot of dead space/white space above and below it... so the content is at teh bottom of the screen.

Hello

Does anyone know any good thermostat card different from default one? Don’t like circular controls. I tried simple thermostat card but it’s development is abandoned and it’s buggy in latest HA. Or does anyone have fixed version of it? For me it does not display temp. control arrows and it displays switch state with doubled text like “Off (off)”

[opaque kiln]

I'm a fan of https://github.com/mattieha/slider-button-card Not specifically for thermostats per se and does not have all the functionalities of the default card, but it is nice and graphical!

Hello, does anyone know if there has been a change made in the dev version that affects tap_action - navigate? Since updating my dev instance to 2022.5.0dev20220421 none of the navigation works on my dashboards.

[royal patio]

in theory you can use card mod for that, but I wasn't able to get the correct selector yesterday when I tried, if you manage please let me know how you did it!

[formal python]

@opaque kiln that one looks good, thank you

[fiery ledge]

not here, seems all are doing their job. Only thing I experience is : https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/12373 where the dashboard items dont navigate to the path url for the first tab in the dashboard. All others, custom or core work as expected

A CSS question. How can I get the sidebar transparent? I have a animated background running and it clearly runs behind the sidebar, but the only thing I managed to get done is a background pic, trying to make it transparent makes it simply white. Where should I look at? https://snipboard.io/VMCEQX.jpg This is the current state. If a custom addin is needed for getting this done, I likely already have it, but did not realize how to make it work

Hi all, I'm trying to use Feedpasrser and list card to show an RSS feed on one of my dashboards, but when I try to add the custom: list-card, I'm getting the error "no card type configured"

I've added the repository through HACS and I can see the files are in the community folder but not sure what to do to fix

[loud thistle]

F12, then right click on refresh and let it wipe all cache.

[fiery ledge]

i guess you did try sidebar-background-color: transparent? because I also see it showing white.... must be yet another background shining through? this needs some more investigation... how did you get your image to show as you have it?

[gusty vine]

Thanks @fiery ledge that makes sense.

ive spent all day trying to figure out how custom layout card can have 3 columns of cards in a view but the top card (paper button row) span the the whole view?

[loud thistle]

https://github.com/dreimer1986/yourname_card_mod this is my theme. I changed the line 84 aka removed it and installed the Lovelace Addin from HACS for animated backgrounds. That's it

And yes I tried the same in the debug console, it happily becomes white transparent. I assume right now that the section touched by the Addin is being shrinked when you collapse or extend the sidebar. I did not tinker more yet

Is there no easy way to tell a card to display the exact date/time of last change/update? I want a card showing the date and time of the last movement of my camera. And I added the entity "binary_sensor.XXX_person_detected" to a card and added the secondary information "last changed" but its not that exacy, just "yesterday" or "2 hours ago"

[loud thistle]

• entity: switch.whateverentity
  secondary_info: last-updated

[patent scaffold]

Yes, but that only gives a rough "5 minutes" ago, "2 days ago". Is there a way to there have the time stamp?

[fiery ledge]

check the attribute format option https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/entities/#attribute a bit down

ofc last_changed isnt an attribute, so that might not work....

[patent scaffold]

thx!

[fiery ledge]

does work: - entity: sensor.astral_solar_midnight secondary_info: last-changed format: time showing last-changed, and the state in time format

quite nifty actually, didnt use that myself 😉

[loud thistle]

@fiery ledge progress. I was right... Sadly. Because now I don't see a way to get this done right. Depending on expansion or not of the sidebar the width is changed. In <partial-panel-resolver> you can find --app-drawer-width when expanded being calc(256px + env(safe-area-inset-left)) else --app-drawer-width is 56px. Changing these around changes the drawing window for the cards AND the background video. Result: https://snipboard.io/gIsauM.jpg It would be way better if I can make it stay with all the cards where they were and only the background is full size. Maybe ther eis a value for, too. But I did not find it yet

Quick Q - was directed here from #general-archived - can anyone think of why I might be getting frontend ChunkLoading errors when loading HA over ethernet?

Screenshot: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/120485/164946273-65ca57c0-9f91-42d9-8001-e600eb17e4f1.png

Running HA Supervised on a NUC. When the NUC is connected to network over Wifi - no issues - but when the NUC is connected to the network over Ethernet, I get these frontend errors.

Have tried: Cache clearing frontend, multiple browsers/devices, swapped out ethernet cable, no firewalls or anything else active.

Only seems to happen over ethernet on my Pepwave BR1 Pro router - no issues when connected over ethernet to a TPlink router instead. I'm stumped 🤔

[opal veldt]

Welp. It was just a local network cache somewhere, changing the DHCP reservation address fixed it.

[frosty flower]

is there anyway to get this card to show up on the dashboard

[errant plover]

Card mod or browser mod?

[outer vine]

Is there any way to display this in a table, or perhaps in a larger card than the standard size card on the dashboard?

Trying to get daily averages for temperatures and energy consumption in one thing, but the screen estate is too small. Not sure how to increase the card sizes (I only operate HASS on desktops with large displays)

Alternatively, if there is a port that I can connect to on HASs, I can hook up my powerBI to it, and I'll get all the data I need 🙂

Anyone an idea which icon to use for the cellar (room)? I struggle anything that looks fitting.

[opaque kiln]

Are you referring to a picture for the Cellar area card, or an mdi icon for a cellar? If the latter, your pickings are slim...just put in mdi:stairs-down?

[tame dove]

I use a glances card with an entity-filter card to display icons related to waste pickup. I like the entity filter because the card is only relevant on Sunday so the rest of the week, it is not visible. I do not like the size of the icon for the card though. I want bigger icons than the standard glances card provides. Suggestions?

[fiery ledge]

use a conditional markdown, and set bigger icons?

or simply resize the icons:```
type: glance
entities:

• entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
• entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
  style: |
  ha-card {
  --mdc-icon-size: 60px;

   - entity: sensor.grass

            --mdc-icon-size: 120px;
            }

[fiery ledge]

did yiu add the card_mod: key? its probably still not adjusted to the new techniques in card_mod

   - entity: sensor.grass
     card_mod:
       style: |
         ha-card {
           --mdc-icon-size: 120px;
         }

[tame dove]

Added, no change

[fiery ledge]

yes, that works....``` - type: glance
title: Trädfri gateway
card_mod:
class: class-header-margin
style: |
ha-card {
--mdc-icon-size: 80px;
}

another problem though.... as you can see the icons overflow the state...

[tame dove]

Man, still not working

[fiery ledge]

on the card level, or on a single entity level. the latter requires different syntax

[tame dove]

Weird but ok, seems fixed 😄

[gloomy iris]

Is it normal that picture elements cards look wrong on mobile devices compared to their look on computers? I used relative positioning (using % instead of px) but my cards look messed up on my mobile :(

[dreamy phoenix]

Any know how I can have two devices with same friendly name in Home Assistant bedroom one >> light.Main, bedroom two >> light.Main and not light.Main_2 ? using esphome.

[dark dirge]

that's an entity_id, not a friendly_name, and it must be unique

further, all entity_ids are lowercase, so "light.Main" is invalid

you can assign whatever name you want to the entity and use that for displaying in the frontend

[mystic fern]

is custom button card still the de facto custom button addon despite being out of support, or is there something better and newer?

[dreamy phoenix]

Thanks @dark dirge sorry I was not really clear, I do understand I need the entity_id unique is it possible to have light.bedroom_room1 >> friendly name >> Main. and 2nd unit. light.bedroom_room2 >> friendly name >> Main. I can see that I can do in and rename them in HA but was hoping with esphome I could just add an extra line 😉

[dark dirge]

the friendly_name is just an attribute and there's no restriction on them being unique amongst all entities

the friendly_name is an HA thing, so I doubt that you can set it via ESPHome. But the docs would say

[dreamy phoenix]

Thanks, I have read the ESPhome doc a few times.. guessing I will need to just do a Customizing entities long as it all in yaml I am happy 👍

[verbal wedge]

What is the best way to fix the history page where it comes up blank? it's been like this for a while through several versions, just never took the time to look into it. When I hover my mouse over the page it'll show entities but none of them are displayed.

It's a giant image that some browsers don't like, especially mobile ones. I don't think there's anything you can do about it.

Neither navigate nor urls work when casting to Google devices.

[cold bluff]

Is there a card that would allow me to click on a button representing my living room and have it pop up another card that shows lights, fans, temperature etc? I can use conditional cards and hide/unhide a card, but I was hoping for something similar to the more info option

[errant plover]

You can make custom pop-ups with browser-mod.

[opaque kiln]

If it's just returning a string, just do string subsetting:
{{ state_attr('calendar.liverpool_fixtures', 'start_time)[:-3] }}
The [:-3] will give you all the characters in the string except the last 3.

Unless you're doing this in custom:button-card, where you need to do templating in JavaScript?

[unique scroll]

unfortunately: type: custom:button-card

[opaque kiln]

Well then use JavaScript substring method: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_substring.asp#:~:text=Definition and Usage,not change the original string.

But it is imo clunkier. I would prefer to handle the subsetting at the sensor rather than at the frontend, if you can use Jinja string subsetting at the sensor, as that is much more elegant.

[unique scroll]

it gets too complicated for little me....ocd will have to live with the seconds even tho they are not needed

[tribal field]

Does anyone know why this graph has started to look weird?
https://imgur.com/a/bkmaMiD
It's plotting download speed using speedtest.net - I disabled the auto update feature and set up an automation to run instead so that I can easily toggle it off at times when I don't want it running.
You can see on the graph that when I switched to the automation, the points on the graph started to be disconnected.
It's not super important, just weird.
Anyone know why it's happening?

[unique scroll]

guess i could use the :-3 in the sensor.yaml file @opaque kiln

value_template: >-
{% set a=((as_timestamp(states.calendar.liverpool_fixtures.attributes.start_time) - as_timestamp(now()))) | default(99) | int %}

[tribal field]

@opaque kiln suggested in #automations-archived that it's to do with entity state being unavailable. How do I view the raw data over time?

[opaque kiln]

Use the logbook and see if your entity's state ever becomes unavailable.

[velvet bloom]

Is it possible to show a sensor attribute as a entity ?

[opaque kiln]

Why do you want to do that? You can create a template sensor whose value takes the value of the attribute in another entity, but that seems a bit redundant.

[velvet bloom]

I just want to show the attribute within a card

so i dont have to click on the sensor within the card

[opaque kiln]

Which card are you using?

[velvet bloom]

Entities

[opaque kiln]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/entities/ third sentence indicates it can display attribute data. Read down to see how.

[velvet bloom]

Thank you

i assume this cannot be done in the gui

[opaque kiln]

Heh I don't use this vanilla card myself, but the level of yaml you may need doesn't seem daunting. Just adjust one of the examples below.

[tribal field]

No logbook events found.

It doesn't appear that the Speedtest Download entity shows anything in the logbook.

[opaque kiln]

Try adjusting your time range to a longer range.

[tribal field]

I did - I've done the whole week

[opaque kiln]

Oh wait. Yeah numeric sensors don't display in the logbook.

You mentioned you have an automation that can turn off the speed test from running. Do these gaps correspond with when that automation is off?

[tribal field]

No... the automation is running every 10 minutes (I might make this less frequent later) and has a condition to check an input_boolean

I set the input_boolean to false when I was to stop the automation from running. e.g. If I am gaming and don't want speedtest ruining my ping for me.

The speedtest integration was also configured to run every 10 minutes before I swapped to an automation. So the time period between tests is the same.

The only difference is that I've also added the input_boolean changing to on as a trigger so that when I turn it back on it runs a speed test immediately

https://pastebin.com/Qi6cCzts

[opaque kiln]

Hmm...I'm wondering if there is any significance that each of your data line segments seems to contain exactly 3 value changes.

Ok, and what is your config for the sensor that contains the speed test results?

[tribal field]

Hmmm I see what you mean. Only 2 changes though - because step graph ignore me, reading it wrong. it is 3.

[brisk bone]

Hi, might be a stupid question, but where do u edit the new group helpers (from UI) if u want to add or change an included entity?

[opaque kiln]

Aren't they listed under helpers once created? That being said, I'm still on 2022.3 so I haven't used the new group helpers directly.

[tribal field]

Nothing special in configuration.yaml as it's just standard integration
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/speedtestdotnet

[brisk bone]

No, i cant find them anyway, there is only a group link in config for a new group that links you to the integration page ... without any "group" functionality

[opaque kiln]

Hmm strange...I'm out of ideas I'm afraid. But does it impact your UX if the history graph is intermittent?

[tribal field]

No not really - it's just an oddity that was "bothering" me.... and I thought I might learn something if I knew why it's doing it

🤷‍♂️

[opaque kiln]

Haha hopefully someone more experienced in the arcana of HA will pick up on it.

[tribal field]

Maybe I'll find some place to report it as a UI bug...

[opaque kiln]

Any other sensors also displaying this intermittency in history? To better determine if this is an issue with the history graph or the speed test integration.

[tribal field]

The "ping" and "upload" sensor on the speedtest integration do the same, and it started at the very time I stopped using the built in integration's "auto update" and switched to my own automation.

Other sensor graphs (phone temperature etc) appear just fine.

[brisk bone]

Sorry my mistake, found it. Under configure state. Case closed 🙂

[opaque kiln]

Heh if you remove your automation, will it resolve this issue? If so then reporting a bug may get no traction...

[unique scroll]

what is wrong with this line.

value_template: >-
{% set a=((as_timestamp(states.calendar.liverpool_fixtures.attributes.start_time([:-3]))) | default(99) | int %}

error is:
Invalid config for [sensor.template]: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: unexpected ':') for dictionary value @ data['sensors']['liverpool_match_time']['value_template']. Got '{% set a=((as_timestamp(states.calendar.liverpool_fixtures.attributes.start_time([:-3]))) | default(99) | int %} '. (See ?, line ?).

[tribal field]

Ha, yes that would probably stop the graph being iffy, but I don't want to have to go into the integration configuration every time I want to switch off tests. 😺 So I think I'll live with the graph being iffy.

[unique scroll]

trying to make a sensor with the time from the calendar

[tribal field]

Is there supposed to be a - after the >?

Ignore me, I'm fairly new to HA (and YAML as a result). Apparently the - is used to strip newlines at the end of the string.

[unique scroll]

yeah

i'm new too and have no clue how to get this correct

[tribal field]

I think you are setting a variable a - are you using this later on in your template? Also, maybe #templates-archived is the best channel to ask?

[unique scroll]

ok. i asked here cuz i wanted to use in dashboard/lovelace

[tribal field]

Yeah makes sense to me... but I've had a mod on me for not using the right channel already. 🤷‍♂️

Since you are setting a variable, what's the rest of your value_template?

[opaque kiln]

You have too many brackets. And the [:-3] should be the very last operation you do, after converting the processed output to a string.

Why do you need to convert it to a timestamp?

[unique scroll]

this is accepted but returs unknown
value_template: >-
{% set x=((as_timestamp(states.calendar.liverpool_fixtures.attributes.start_time) - as_timestamp(now()))) | default(99) | int %}

all i want is hh:mm

[opaque kiln]

Try building your template in Dev Tools> Template, starting with {{ state_attr('calendar.liverpool_fixtures', 'start_time') }} and adding on formatting step by step.

[unique scroll]

i want to remove the minus part to have the actual start time of the event presented

[opaque kiln]

So the calendar gives you a countdown and you want to convert it into a time?

[unique scroll]

this is taken from a countdown yes

but the attribute start_time is the actual start of the event

[opaque kiln]

Ok, so just work with the start_time attribute.

[opaque kiln]

Pop that template into Dev Tools > Template, what do you get as the output?

[unique scroll]

this is the result of start_time
start_time: 2022-04-27 21:00:00

i just want the 21:00

So if you do {{ state_attr('calendar.liverpool_fixtures', 'start_time')[:-3] }}?

Ok if you just want the time without the date, try {{ state_attr('calendar.liverpool_fixtures', 'start_time')[11:-3] }}

This of course assumes that the time you're getting from the attribute always returns in that format.

[unique scroll]

that did it......many many many thanks

11:-3 means skip first 11 , grab the stuff there and skip last 3 ?

[opaque kiln]

You got it.

[unique scroll]

going to do another with the date only...

now i know the syntax

[opaque kiln]

Enjoy! If the string doesn't return in the same format all the time, you can just adjust the logic for determining x and y in the [x:y].

[unique scroll]

i'm impressed by the oracles that knows the internet of things by hand

[fading reef]

In my front end history graphs, like RAM, or any, the time zone seems to be UTC/something, even though my settings in HASS are my own time zone. How to fix this? see things in my time zone?
Seems its a browser issue and depends upon browser time

[native galleon]

i would like to make more cards in my dashboard in a row, is this even possible? When i have around 5 cards in a row, they split to 2 fields. (on my pc Dashboard)

[quick otter]

Is there a way to show different entities (scripts) based on time of day and/or sun state? Wanting to show next script moving mode of home forward (morning/day/evening/bedtime/sleep).

[fiery ledge]

a bit of a # channel issue, but allow me this please on templates and the get() method: can anyone confirm I am writing this longer mapper (top one) correctly using the get() method (bottom one) in js ? return mapper[state] ? mapper[state] : 'red'; return mapper.get(state,'red'); I cant find a complete source on the fallback (else) value, but its the way I do it in all of my Jinja templates....

[polar kelp]

.get(property, default) is python syntax

The same thing in javascript would be mapper[state] !== undefined ? mapper[state] : 'red'. Or in typescript mapper[state] ?? 'red', but that probably doesn't work in a button card template or whatever.

Your first row would evaluate to 'red' if mapper[state] was set to false or 0, for example. The second one (in python) would not.

[fiery ledge]

tha would at least explain why it works in Jinja. and yeah, the top line in my post is what I have using since forever, but since I got to appreciate the brevity of the get() methid in Jinja, I figured it might also be possible to shorten the JS

meyabe I should have posted the mappr too:```
icon_color: >
var mapper = {'0':'grey','1':'blue','2':'green','3':'orange'};
return mapper.get(state,'red');

[polar kelp]

If you're OK with falsy statements returning the default mapper[state] || 'red' might work.

[fiery ledge]

thanks will try that!

so mapper[state] ? mapper[state] : 'red'; is not the same as mapper[state] !== undefined ? mapper[state] : 'red' ?

[polar kelp]

No. But mapper[state] || 'red' is the same as the first one.

Example from the browser console:

Any value that retuns false would give you "red"

[fiery ledge]

the diffference would be that in the first the state could be another value than mapped, and default, and the !== undefined would also check for existence altogether?

[polar kelp]

In your case where the states are clearly defined there's no practical difference.

[fiery ledge]

yeah, its my practice to always use them that way

[polar kelp]

Since you always read your mapper variable you will always either get a color or undefined.

[fiery ledge]

and on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map/get, its not the same? there is no default as far as I can see that?

[polar kelp]

No. A Map is not the same as an Object as it's called in js.

[fiery ledge]

thx Thomas, appreciated

[long crane]

I have some picture element cards that are hosted on my NAS web server. I updated the images size and then reuploaded to NAS. I cannot get the change to occur in HA. Shows the old versions of the pictures. Have tried destiny history/cookies, new browsers, and incognito modes

Or at least HA is not displaying them as all the same size

[opaque kiln]

Do you mean you want to force the 5 cards to always display in a row? Have you tried putting them into a horizontal stack?

[long crane]

Maybe that’s what i need to try. Right now there 7 picture entities (vertical stack with mark down) cards in a grid

It looks like this. I’d like them to line up evenly

All those pics have same height. They aren’t displayed that way for some reason.

[icy patrol]

hey guys i am trying to make the mdi icon charge colors based on the alarm state but cant seem to get it going, any pointers?

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.ringalarmmainstate_custom
    icon: mdi:shield-home
    state:
      - value: 'Armed Home'
        icon: mdi:shield-home
        color: red
    name: Home Alarm State

[distant phoenix]

What's the best way to reuse snippets of Lovelace in different cards? There's a few Template cards I found, but they were last updated 1+ years ago

[dark dirge]

YAML anchors, but you need to use Lovelace in YAML mode

[icy patrol]

Is there a way to change the state text? Instead of armed to Armed
If i make a sensor with a template, this works but then i loose the alarm class icons

[distant phoenix]

should be able to put text-transform: capitalize under style

[icy patrol]

seems like the UI does not like style - it shows ok on the front end but then the UI shows an error

[distant phoenix]

Do you have card-mod?

[icy patrol]

i do yes

[azure canopy]

Not sure if already resolved, but you need quotes around state

Oh wait, that was probably js

[polar kelp]

The grid card makes every card on the same row the same height. That means your vertical-stack cards stretches out, but the cards inside them do not.. You should probably use a combination of stack cards instead of a grid.

[radiant holly]

Does anyone have any idea if themes are currently having issues? I've cleared cache, logged out, in and made sure I'm up to date with everything and restarted HA but no matter what theme I install through hacs, it doesn't show up as an available option. Despite them working fine on my previous installs.

I'm not sure how else i can go about fixing it.

[polar kelp]

Did you do this: https://hacs.xyz/docs/categories/themes#enable-themes-in-home-assistant?

[radiant holly]

Oh god 😆 , that was a novice mistake, thanks Thomas.

[fiery ledge]

yep, and it was state, and not a string

so glad we got custom-ui working again in HA post 2022.4, so we can do templates: icon_color: > var bat = {'Full':'gold','Charging':'maroon','Not Charging':'steelblue'}; return bat[state] || 'grey'; 😉

[azure canopy]

Yes, I didn't notice I was in #frontend-archived I thought it was Jinja, then you need to use quotes with . get(), even around state or attributes

[fiery ledge]

depends doesnt it? in this case of regular template: sensor using a mapper on panel (which is the state of my alarm panel), one shouldnt quote that either: mdi:{{mapper.get(panel,'shield-check')}}

like:```
- unique_id: alarm_panel_icon
state: >
{% set panel = states('alarm_control_panel.ha_rpi4_alarm') %}
{% set mapper = {'disarmed':'shield-check',
'armed_away':'shield-lock',
'armed_custom_bypass':'security',
'armed_home':'shield-home',
'armed_night':'shield-home',
'arming':'shield-outline',
'triggered':'bell-alert'} %}
mdi:{{mapper.get(panel,'shield-check')}}

{{mapper[panel] if panel and panel in mapper else 'mdi:shield-check'}}``` where the last line was what I used before I learned about get()

[azure canopy]

Not if you use a variable indeed, but if you just use a direct reference to the attribute, you need to use quotes. But this all is very offtopic here anyway 🙂

[fiery ledge]

hehe.

well, it's useful to see which techniques *can * be used in both JS and Jinja, and which can't. This one (get() )can't, and needs adjusting to the js specifics, so its good to have that explicit in the channel...

[deft ginkgo]

how can i change the time that an Entities Card refreshes. I want it for example to refresh every 5s. Is this possible?

[fiery ledge]

another challenge: icon: > var pre = 'mdi:numeric-'; var post = '-box-multiple-outline'; var sens = {'Very low':'0','Low':'1','Medium':'2','High':'3','Very high':'4'}; return sens[state] ? pre + sens[state] + post : 'mdi:help'; I seem to recall that if numbered like this, we can use the index of the mapper. could anyone point me in the right direction to do that in JS please? a bit like:```
var pre = 'mdi:numeric-';
var post = '-box-multiple-outline';
var sens = {'Very low','Low','Medium','High','Very high'};
return sens[state] ? pre + index + post : 'mdi:help';

[polar kelp]

Don't think so. It will refresh as soon as it receives new data.

[polar kelp]

https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_findindex.asp

[fiery ledge]

thanks, and struggling... this isnt an easy win..

          return pre + sens.findIndex(state) + post;``` complains callback should be a function (as stated in the doc) but all I have is `state`

maybe I need indexOf() ? sens.indexOf(state) ? https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_indexof_array.asp. will test if my sytem gets back ..... guess the last effort was too much for the frontend....

[fiery ledge]

yes! that's it: icon: > var pre = 'mdi:numeric-'; var post = '-box-multiple-outline'; var sens = ['Very low','Low','Medium','High','Very high']; return pre + sens.indexOf(state) + post; now I only need to add a catch for invalid input (state)

[hasty kernel]

So far I lived happily with the standard Home Assistant Dashboards using a couple of custom cards for specific use cases, such as display of weather data, or photovoltaik output.
I have started to put together a new dashboard using the UI based on mushroom cards, but am not quite happy with the improvements compared to the standard Dashboard I have been using. This is where I start to fall into the rabit hole. Adding conditional cards, and further custom cards like the custom stack in card, swipe card aso and the configuration is getting more and more advanced.

Is there any introduction in how the lovelace ui can be managed and modified in VS Code for example? Where can I find the dashboard yamls? Currently I only have \config folder as connected to my Windows computer to have easy access to the sensor and automation yaml files.
Is there a preferred way to split the configuration file to easily manage various pages/rooms aso.?

[opaque kiln]

.storage/lovelace

[fiery ledge]

well, are you using Yaml mode? if so you can set that under the lovelace key in configuration.yaml, like: ```lovelace:
mode: yaml
resources: !include /config/lovelace/resources.yaml
dashboards:

[opaque kiln]

But you can access the yaml from the dashboard editing mode, three dots menu in the top right corner.

[fiery ledge]

see https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/dashboards/

[opaque kiln]

Haha yes, but if you go full yaml mode you'll never see the UI dashboard editor anymore right?

[hasty kernel]

Yes currently I am using UI guided mode and from time to time I jump into YAML view of the full dashboard, but its just one large file.

[fiery ledge]

I only use it on my test instance... my full system is configure like this, and a matter of dropping the view files in the right place 😉

using: ```
button_card_templates: !include_dir_merge_named ../button_card_templates
decluttering_templates: !include_dir_named ../decluttering_templates
kiosk_mode: !include ../kiosk-mode/kiosk-mode.yaml

views: !include_dir_merge_list ui-test```

or make it explicit like:```
title: Ha Rpi4
views:

• !include ui-overview/view_overview_Home.yaml #0
• !include ui-overview/view_overview_Lights.yaml #1
• !include ui-overview/view_overview_Covers.yaml #2
• !include ui-overview/view_overview_Home_summary.yaml #3
• !include ui-overview/view_overview_Intercom.yaml #4
• etc

[hasty kernel]

See, this is where I start to get lost...
Whats in buttons? whats in button_card_templates? view_data_light.yaml seems to be one specific page with a list of entities aso I assume (i.e. describing what you want displayed on one lovelace page

[fiery ledge]

using UI mode can be very easy/safe. if you need more finegrained control, Id say Yaml mode (for now still) has the better of UI mode.

correct. button_card_templates etc are from certain custom cards, that need global settings, per dashboard

[opaque kiln]

Heh have a look at how the yaml is structured using the UI's raw configuration editor first. That would give you an idea of how you can structure the yaml in a directory structure.

You can really modularise yaml with all the flavours of !include.

[fiery ledge]

and yes, every file in that map beginning with view, is a, well, a view 😉 ```
title: Light data
path: light_data
icon: mdi:home-lightbulb-outline

type: custom:horizontal-layout
layout:
max_cols: 2

cards:

• !include /config/lovelace/includes/include_path_switch.yaml
• !include /config/lovelace/buttons/buttons_shortcut_menu.yaml
  etc

[hasty kernel]

Okay, I think I slowly get behind.
I am doing all automations and so on in yaml, but only configured the \config folder as a network drive.
I'll try to get access to the \lovelace folder aswell and have a play

[fiery ledge]

follow what Daniel says, it's sound advice for sure. I am still stuck in yaml typing and love the easy of it, compared to the UI, which for me feels limited and overly complicated. You cant make mistakes in UI though,, the system guards you there, and that is very nice indeed 😉

just so you know, the /lovelace folder is in the /config folder, and if you have acces to the /config folder , you have the /lovelace folder too..

[hasty kernel]

At least I dont see it...

[fiery ledge]

thats because you are still using UI mode, and the lovelace is stored in your .storage hidden folders. Above I copied the yaml way of configuring, but left out the dashboards you also need to set there: ```
lovelace:
mode: yaml
resources: !include /config/lovelace/resources.yaml
dashboards:

ui-overview:
  mode: yaml
  filename: lovelace/dashboards/ui-overview.yaml
  title: Overview
  icon: mdi:view-dashboard

#repeat for each yaml dashboard

[hasty kernel]

Ah I see and if I do so I am stuck in yaml. So I'll have a better overview being able to split files. But I loose the ability to perform changes supported by the UI...

[hasty kernel]

Guess it is similar to the automations, where the UI was also limited, but protecting you. I have all automations in yaml, but it prevents me to do some actions in the UI.

[frosty flower]

I guess this is frontend, i want to make a remote control card that i can use to control my vacuum manually. The problem is, as far as I know, there's no way to get a continuous action from holding down a button. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this function

[formal python]

Hello. Does anyone know an easy method of switching between home assistant servers?

[dark dirge]

it will be a different URL

or are you talking about via the mobile companion apps?

[formal python]

Yeah, mobile app

[dark dirge]

Then #ios_and_mac-archived or #android-archived

[polar kelp]

At least on ios there's an Add Server button right at the top of the app settings.

[formal python]

Forgot about different addresses in web ui, so definitely mobile app question.

[queen mountain]

Man from general sent me here.

Hi very new, lost on how do you add switch confirmation eg, "Are you sure you want switch on" yes/no? Thanks in advance. When explaining please talk like your explaining it to your nan!

[dark dirge]

There isn't a straightforward and generic way to do that

The easiest way involves installing a custom card, such as the custom button card, and using the built-in confirmation functionality for that, but you'll end up with a completely different experience than the switch you're currently using

the same question was asked here: #frontend-archived message

[shell python]

I need some help setting up Energy Dashboard. It updates every hour exactly on the hour, but some sensor data isn't available until some seconds after the hour. That data then gets shifted to the next hour. Is there a way to make the dashboard wait for the sensor data, or some other way of backdating the sensor data later?

[prime umbra]

it seems that sense 2022.4 the templates on state is no supported is there any way with card-mod do this on a entities card
if (state === 'on') return '/local/img/sonbuttonV.png'; else return '/local/img/sonbuttonB.png';
with icons i know is possible to change colors using the--paper-item-icon-color: just want to know if with pictures is also possible?

[mild veldt]

@dark dirge @queen mountain the built in cards support confirmation for actions except for switch rows

[dark dirge]

I do see it in the action docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/actions/#confirmation

good to know, wasn't aware

[frosty flower]

is it possible to show or hide an entity on a card based on a condition, rather than showing or hiding the entire card

[polar kelp]

https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/entities/#conditional

[lime glacier]

oh, hi. @polar kelp I found your layout card the other day, Love it. Great work.

on another note; I am casting some views onto a Google Cast + 55` TV but I find the weather card (default) is not centered (really low in the screen) and it is kinda small with lots of white space. Can we zoom in and adjust its location somehow?

[drowsy igloo]

hey. Can I have a web browser inside one of tabs?

[lime glacier]

looks like your mod card can do this, um. How can I zoom in on an image in a picture-elementscard?

because if I just use zoom, it changes the icons only.. not the image.

[static talon]

Hey everyone, I'm getting Flower Care sensors via Xiaomi Miio, but all sensors are loose and there is no entity I could use with the Plant Status card, is there any way to solve this?

[velvet bloom]

Wondering if someone can help. I have a sensor that has an attribute called "Position". This includes Longitude and Latitude details. Is there a way i can use this info with a map card?

[blazing wren]

Did you try putting the entity into the map card already? https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/map/
If not, you may need a template sensor with {{ state_attr('my_entity', 'position') }} as the value (or similar)

[velvet bloom]

Already tried putting the entity in a map card, and this didnt work

will take a look at a template sensor now

[barren nacelle]

I use history stats to display how long my pool pump ran for the entire day. I want to also have a notification to show the current time my pool pump has been on, but I want the time to reset every time I turn it off. Is there a way to do that?

[long crane]

Probably a stupid question. I installed the animated background module (https://github.com/Villhellm/lovelace-animated-background). After installing, how do i get it to work/how do i use it?

[polar kelp]

An automation that sets an input_datetime to the current time when it turns on, maybe?

[long crane]

I added entity “weather.home” as a lovelace card on a dashboard and the background is just white

[polar kelp]

Do you have a specific question about one of the three steps outlined in the readme you linked to, or where should we start this from?

[long crane]

I completed all 3 steps in the second installation method (HACS).

But then how do i get the animated background to actually show up in a dashboard?

[barren nacelle]

I am not familiar with this. So I would set the time to current on that date time, how would the elapsed time be calculated?

[long crane]

Nevermind. It appears to be working now.

[polar kelp]

question: Is it possible to have one card spread over 3 columns?

[gusty marten]

Does someone know the way to do this. Like shall I make a helper or template or what to do here.
I have a slider in my dashboard to control brightness. When I pull the slider either to low/brighten the light it also turn on the other lights.
So I want it to check for only lights that are turned on.

Pseudo code:
If light is on then change brightness on those lights only.

You could make a carefully crafted template light... https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.template/ Probably won't be easy, though.

[gusty marten]

I'll check it out. Thanks

[barren nacelle]

NVM I just used node red.

[gusty marten]

What if I make a template that looking for lights that are turned on and store those as an entity light.im_on or some thing.
Then I can use my slider on that entity

[gusty marten]

See my post, I solved it.. 🙌

[polar kelp]

Very nice!

You may want a value_template and a level_template for increased stability, but that's really cool!

[gusty marten]

I read not to do so, because it's not a script but a service... But don't know what I'm doing, just got it working.
AND i just added tempature: https://go.seee.link/msedge_gzPpIrnp1X.png

Video of my little dashboard: https://www.seee.link/5zuLk974

Now I just want this button to go to current state
So it should somehow save the last state on click end then shut of.
Then when clicked, turn on with saved value.
You know what to Google to get started with this?

[agile drum]

Hello everybody,

I installed Home Assistant OS on a RPi3 and uploaded pictures via the Media Tab to "Local Media". How can I use these pictures in my picture-elements card? I tried

type: picture-elements image: /local/picture1.png (...)

but it's not showing. Can anybody give me a hint on which path to use? Thank you in advance.

[mild veldt]

uploaded pictures are not stored in the 'www' folder i.e. /local. They are in the /image directory and you have to use an api call to grab them. so not something that you can use in picture-elements in its currently implementation, unless someone knows of a workaround

[crisp rapids]

Is there any way to position the view type "side bar" to the left instead of right?

[agile drum]

Thank you!

hi i trying to remove the clock-card.js from HA i keep getting http://192.168.0.12:8123/hacsfiles/clock-card/clock-card.js:1:6 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier.... so i tried to find it.. i removed it from the uilovelace file. and i deleted it from the directory... but i keep getting that error.. i not even sure what clock-card it is... is there a purge program to just removed it from HA... or where else can i look to remove any reference

[polar kelp]

It’s something you installed through HACS. That would be the best place to remove it.

[lavish basin]

never used hacs when it was installed

resources:

- url: /local/clock-card.js

type: js

i removed it from ui-lovelace.yaml

and deleted the folder..

rebooted ha and its still there

this clock-card isnt part of HACS

i dont think it existed at the time i installed clock-card more then a year ago

[split granite]

HACS has existed for more than 1 year

The path you posted points to HACS being used too

[lavish basin]

hacs was never installed at the time and i did not know of hacs at the time of install..

and it has actually 2 folders

hacsfiles is not even a real directory

clock card has only be entered via the ui-lovelace.yaml file

logs show the clock-card.js points to 2 directories

let me go find it

[polar kelp]

/hacsfiles corresponds to <config>/www/community I think. And someone certainly installed it through HACS, otherwise it would not be in hacsfiles...
Either way if you can't remove it via HACS you need to go here and remove its entry in the list: https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/lovelace_resources/

[lavish basin]

i only have the reference of the ui-lovelace.yaml cuz i only been using hacs maybe 6 7 months and installed the thing more then a year... but ok let me check the link.. as i cant even find who makes the clock-card to see if there is an update

maybe i adeed as a resources

found it...

hopefully it fixes it now.. as i even tried uninstalling all clocks in hacs

[dark dirge]

if you're talking about this one:

[lavish basin]

been even googling

[dark dirge]

that's not going to get any updates

[lavish basin]

no i uninstalled that too

'''/clock-card/clock-card.js''' i couldnt find the orginal owner google search..

but i just deleted it so i hope it works

rebooting HA... i trying to fix a bunch of errors/warninings i have i didnt know i had

that seemed to fix it.. thanks.. working on the next error.. as it was frustrating me i looked in the hacs and it was never there to uninstall..... i appreciate the help so far (:

is browser_mod considered frontend or intergration as the error shows Integration: Home Assistant WebSocket API

[polar kelp]

[errant cosmos]

Long time listener, first time caller.... I'm getting familiar with the basics of cards. I've got some basic MQTT integration, switches and sensors that allow me to use a Button as an action and a Gauge to measure the change. But what's it called when I want these two things - Button and Gauge - in the same relative container? I think I read once that this is literally called a Container but I can't find where I read that, or the docs that mention it in this context. Can someone give me some pointers?

Hi 🙂
I have a old tablet on my wall running the android HA app. I wish to monitor the door sensor of our kids room, so that if the door opens/detects something i get a visual alert (something really visible, a sound vould also be nice) on the tablet. Is this possible?

[errant cosmos]

I'm new here but there might be better options, but I've used this for similar actions/reactions in other projects https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ifttt/

[polar kelp]

Maybe check out browser_mod too?

Hi. Can anyone recommend a custom card for fan speed and on/off control? Something like the light dimmer card with a slider and switch. Thanks!

[errant kraken]

Can someone please tell me how I can cache credentials - or otherwise automate sign in for a specific user on a tablet using Fully Browser Kiosk (or similar app)?
All the videos I see simply put username and password into Fully Kiosk to sign in, but that's not working for me even with a fresh (test) install of Home Assistant.
Even tried on multiple android devices with no success.

[hasty kernel]

I swapped a mushroom entity card for a mushroom template card, as I wanted to adapt the icon dynamically.
How can I print the last changed as a secondary for the template card?

{{ states.sensor.washer_status.last_changed }} does only print the timestamp, but not the usual x minutes/hours/days ago

[dark dirge]

it gives limited granularity, but relative_time may do what you want.
{{ states.switch.fr_table_lamp.last_changed|relative_time }} -> "14 hours"

[hasty kernel]

Thanks 👍

[errant cosmos]

Is there like a test or temporary placement entity that I can use in the creation of a Dashboard just to mimic some sort of data in the process of creating a layout?

Hey I have a question about love lace.

I really like the entities cards but is there a way to tie them to an area and have them auto update? I really don't like the area cards how they just truncate all the controls and info and take up space. I like this

https://imgur.com/a/XRv2uli

[dark dirge]

your best bet is probably the "auto-entities" custom card

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

From the "Filters" section:

area: Match entities in given area (e.g. Kitchen)

[arctic sphinx]

Neat thanks

So its manual install only?

[dark dirge]

no, I installed it via HACS

it even says that:

I recommend using HACS to install and keep track of plugins.

[arctic sphinx]

What is hacs exactly? Sorry still new

[kind shell]

Home Assistant Community Store is the successor to the old Custom Updater, and can do so much more - you should check it out. They even have a Discord server for issues with HACS itself.

Command '~hacs' was invoked by: RobC

[arctic sphinx]

Wait whats the addin store than?

[dark dirge]

if you meant "manual install" vs. a built-in card, then yes, you have to install it

somethign completely different

and unrelated

[arctic sphinx]

OKay time to install HACs

[worn peak]

i cant install list card - any suggestions?

If I have a diagram of a thingy I made which has lights and switches on it that I both observe the status of and control the operation of, is there a type of Card or a modification I can do to a particular kind of Card that lets me superimpose indicators and controls of my lights and switches - including their status and a means of controlling them - on top of an image of my thingy?

I've gotten familiar with Vertical and Horizontal Stack Cards and they work out pretty well, now I'm wanting to make it more friendly. What's this kind of drawing/configuration called?

Is it possible to change the order of entities on an entity card based on state or value

[outer vine]

Hi, I am struggling with markdown card and possibly posted this in the wrong category (apologies for that).
I have an automation that sets an input_text.timeofday to morning, afternoon, evening and night, and I am trying to get a greeting card up and running. According to the documentation, I should do something like this, but I only get a blank output.

type: markdown
entity_id:
  - input_text.timeofday
content: |
  # Good {{input_text.timeofday}} {{user}}!

I get this error: Key 'entity_id' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor. but it's fine, I'm editing the card using markdown editor.

From the manual, it SHOULD be there:

entity_id string | list (optional, default: none)
A list of entity IDs so a template in content: only reacts to the state changes of these entities. This can be used if the automatic analysis fails to find all relevant entities.

What am I doing wrong?

[outer vine]

Answering myself here:

type: markdown
content: |
  # Good {{states.input_text.timeofday.state}} {{user}}!

The trick was to call states before the helper. Thanks for nuffn, everyone 🙂

Hello, I want to use the Picture Elements Card as a floorplan in Docker, but I cant find the correct path for the pictures. The Card doesnt load the picture. The picture is stored on my pi in /home/Konsti/docker/hass/config/www/flurplan (storage on the container is shown at the photo) and I dont know what i am doing wrong.

[fiery ledge]

The trick was to call a correct Jinja template… btw you better use states('input_text.timeofday'), see the docs Notes on startup issues with templates

[outer vine]

Jinja templates aren't mentioned anywhere in the docs?

finally, I found the way to change and animate my tab/view icons in the menu bar, thanks to card-mod-theming: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/card-mod-super-charge-your-themes/212176/1082

[polar kelp]

That error is because the selector chain is split at whitespaces. So it searches for all paper-tab[aria-label='Settings it can find, and then all motion'] in those.

I've known of this problem for a while, but I really really don't want to write a parser, and hoped noone would run into it in practice.

[fiery ledge]

Hehe. So adding the &nsbp doesn’t fix that either?

Still it’s not that uncommon to have white space in a view title. Maybe there’s another ‘trick’?

Also: it does work in the .: | section, why is that different ?

[polar kelp]

Anything after 😐 is what’s sent to your browser and parsed by it. And the browser does css much better than I.

Retrying without the code snippets...

Does card-mod support media queries on cards? I have an entities card that I'm trying to vertically center the content on but I only want to do that if the screen is larger than 1200px.

Examples here: https://hastebin.com/yedepinuga

[novel knot]

Anyone can tell me after i installed https://github.com/nervetattoo/banner-card via HACS i can not create such a custom card?

[dark dirge]

Why can't you?

[novel knot]

it simply tell me that "type: custom:banner-card" is unknown

[dark dirge]

Did you add the resource?

[polar kelp]

Start by pressing F5 a few times, and then tell us the exact error message

…actually banner-card writrs the documentation the right way. It’s probably not the problem I thought…

[uncut reef]

Is there any way to make a custom climate entity?

[dark dirge]

Like https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic_thermostat/?

[uncut reef]

I have a few instances (my pool for example) where the entities are temperature readings as sensors only, and I'd love to display it as a thermostat like a normal thermostat. i don't need HA to do the thermostat functioning (I can do that on my own if i wanted) i just would like to visually display the temp like a normal circle

i have a question, i want to use statistics the statistics card to see how much kwh i use a day from the last 14 days or so, but somehow it keeps counting up so lets say im using 1kwh every day, in statistics it keeps adding the amount. im using sum so probally thats the issue. but if i dissable it or chose mean i see nothing. im using a helper"utility meter" for my data

[dusk schooner]

any way to make this only show the time

https://prnt.sc/sAGEhe3Km2nM

its a sensor

[opaque kiln]

Yes, you could use a template. What kind of card is that?

[dusk schooner]

its a normal entity

[dusk schooner]

https://prnt.sc/vjYp1xRjJbRK

[opaque kiln]

Yup that's the sensor. But what is the card you are using to display the data from the sensor on the dashboard?

[dusk schooner]

https://prnt.sc/Ieh_eS4rB1Mq

its an "entity"

card

[opaque kiln]

Hmm this is the vanilla entities card from HA dashboards?

[dusk schooner]

yes

[opaque kiln]

Then try adding format: time to line 4

Your sensor returns a datetime?

[dusk schooner]

https://prnt.sc/mdn-w2Mb_x-t

https://prnt.sc/TW_kZTMRBafL

this is what it returns

Could you share more of the yaml from your entities card? The yaml seems a bit strange.

Is there more than beyond those 4 lines?

[dusk schooner]

https://dpaste.org/BCQpy

[opaque kiln]

Ah apologies. I thought you were using the Entities card, not the Entity card. The format option is available for the former.

[dusk schooner]

i see

[opaque kiln]

If you want to use the Entity card specifically, you may need to modify the value at the sensor level. How are you getting the sensor data into HA?

[dusk schooner]

through an intergration

[opaque kiln]

Ok. I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way to do it, but you could make a template sensor that takes the last 5 characters of the state of sensor.dhuhr_prayer.

Then reference to the template sensor instead of sensor.dhuhr_prayer in your entity card.

[dusk schooner]

how do i make templates?

[split granite]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template

[dusk schooner]

why soo long

i legit just need to show the time on a card

it cant be this long

[opaque kiln]

If you're willing to go down this route, in your config.yaml, add:

template:
  - sensor:
    - unique_id: sensor.dhuhr_prayer_time
      name: "Dhuhr Prayer Time"
      state: "{{ states('sensor.dhuhr_prayer')[-5:] }}"

Then in your Configuration > Settings > Server Controls, check config and reload template entities.

[dusk schooner]

i just restarted my ha

[opaque kiln]

The above assumes you don't already have template: in your config.yaml. Do you have that?

[dusk schooner]

i just added it for all 3

template 1

2

and 3

[opaque kiln]

Did HA come back?

Haha it may not be the most efficient, but if you must use the entity card then you have to do the data manipulation at the sensor level rather than at the card level.

[dusk schooner]

https://prnt.sc/LWI8iBr1N-wY

its unknown now..

[opaque kiln]

Do you see the sensor under your Entities list?

[dusk schooner]

yeah

[opaque kiln]

Any errors?

[split granite]

You should have run

ha core check
``` before restarting

You can also test templates in -> Templates

[opaque kiln]

Alternatively, you could do the entities card which can format datetime sensors.

Does anyone know of a way to create container cards that are theme-able? I've been trying to theme vertical-stack to suit this purpose with card-mod via a theme.yaml file. I'm getting close, but cant seem to implement a new background colour on hui-vertical-stack-card without interfering with all ha-card elements.
Edit: I think trying to keep things in theme.yaml is the thing that's tripping me up. I can achieve something close when editing the page directly. Seems a bit cumbersome doing it for every vertical stack card.

[fiery ledge]

You could probably do that with card-mod-theme, check the dedicated thread in the community

Can anyone share with me how they're using Fully kiosk browser, or another app to store HA login credentials please?
All the videos I see for FKB just store username and password as HTTP auth and sign in, but that doesn't work for me, I've tested multiple android devices and even tried a fresh Home Assistant server without success.

[livid prairie]

I use wall panel instead of fully kiosk browser

wall panel is free with all functions

fully kiosk browser is paid

https://github.com/thecowan/wallpanel-android

The developement for this have stopped though but it works fine

[livid prairie]

you need to enter the url of your home assistant first

[errant kraken]

Ah I'd seen posts about wallpannel, but all referencing dead links, I'll check this out thanks!
I've already got fkb paid from a previous project, and I set my-homeassistant-url.com as the homepage, I expected it to auto fill when I refreshed the page from there, unless I'm doing something else wrong

[livid prairie]

Normally hass has this function where you login once and it ask if you want to always start logged in. Then if you press yes it will stay logged in forever

[errant kraken]

That's true, but I had the experience of everything slowing down after a while, so I set the cache to clear for the screensaver, a different webpage, which seemed to help, but also forces ha to sign out.
Then the waf is lower because of manually signing in after

Hello, How can I change the size of icons on lovelace dashboard?

[fiery ledge]

which icons?

be more specific, and we can probably help you out

[dense haven]

Im sorry. wasnt sure on the exact naming

I mean the icons for example when using a lamp, plug, .. card in the lovelace dashboard

The way they are now is just off to have them fit nicely next to each other

[fiery ledge]

yeah, but depending on the card you use, we need to adapt the way to change the icon size.

entities card or entity card have their own 'mod' so to speak

[dense haven]

For my lights I use lamp card, the stock one I believe ?

where you have a drag bar around them

[fiery ledge]

did you check the 2nd link to the card-mod post in the pinned posts in this channel?

[dense haven]

material design icons?

[fiery ledge]

no, this

[dense haven]

oh no I havent. It said card mod so I thought it was something else/more advanced

I'll take a look at it

[fiery ledge]

yes, it is more advanced. You need to install card-mod for that. Out of the box, Lovelace wont allow you to change the icons, so need to set CSS on the elements via card-mod

tbh, I dont use the light card, and I dont believe there are examples for it in that post. Your best bet would be to open Inspector Elements (right click Inspect in the view) and see which element needs customizing in that card

though, when you use that card, there's not much use for increasing the size (it has to remain within the slider). Do want to reduce the size maybe?

still, using ``` - type: light
entity: light.lounge_chair_long
card_mod:
style: |
ha-state-icon {
width: 10px;
}

[dense haven]

Hey sorry for the late response 🙂 had an issue at home

I just took a look at it but I was again wrong in my explanation, not native english sorry 😄
Im mean the size of the card as a whole

so instead of just the icon of the chair, also the bar around and the card itself really

I found a part in the link that goes over font size

I think I need to look at that

[dark dirge]

That looks like a lounge chair for a mouse 🙂

I can't find any CSS variable similar to the fc-small-font-size to change the list view. Do you have any suggestions?

EDIT:
I mean to use a theme to change the font size if possible.

[fiery ledge]

hehe, only when the house is set to the correct mode.....

[winter blade]

Did anyone else experience this before? When selecting an entity (in any card) my mouse doesn't actualy select the things I'm hovering over.

When clicking it just clicks behind the selection menu, and so closes it

https://gyazo.com/824ede33166e9bc5dfd09fcc68fa75ca

Currently using chrome, seems to be working fine in firefox. HA is the only place that I've noticed this. Other websites with menu's like this (like node-red) are working fine

[fiery ledge]

the obvious way to do so would be to add several light cards in a horizontal-stack, or a grid with several columns

searched in #energy-archived and community: can we not rename the energy panel (left side menu) config/energy ? Maybe it it tied to other pages so needs to be fixed?

Hi, im running into an issue with the display of a sensor attribute. In the template editor they are identical but in the UI they appear differently. Here is the difference from templates vs states section of the dev tools; https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/wikojokedo.rb

When I add both sensors as a lovelace "entity" they also appear differently in that the 2nd one appears in lovelace with the leading " [' " while the 1st sensor just shows the text.

Any pointers as to why there would be such a difference?

[lone umbra]

captain obvious here but i cannot find it in the docs. How do i run more then 1 script with a button card?

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/picanicepi.properties

You call a script that does whatever you want, which may include calling other scripts

[lone umbra]

a script to call 2 scripts?

[dark dirge]

Yes

[lone umbra]

thats..... silly

[dark dirge]

Ok

[lone umbra]

i cant choose something like enity_id and pick 2 scripts?

[dark dirge]

Actually, maybe yes. script.turn_on

[lone umbra]

thats what i thought, but is turn on the same as run....

or is it just enabling it...

[dark dirge]

They'll be run concurrently. It's in the docs

[lone umbra]

noice!

muchos less silly 😉

[dark dirge]

There's no enabling of scripts

[lone umbra]

i noticed the lack of a toggle in front of them yes

problem solved. thx

[dark dirge]

I'll have to remember that

[lone umbra]

maybe devs should rename it to runinstead of turn_on

so whats turn_off script then. Kill and terminate?

[dark dirge]

'Stop'

[lone umbra]

...and stop running actions

I've got a bunch of entities that I want to build out but I don't have them yet. I want to mock some of them ahead of time just to build some of my Dashboard out. Is there a placeholder, or a fake entity that I can use to mock the behavior or action or association with/of another entity just for the sake of mocking this up?

[errant cosmos]

While poking around I found this guy but wondering if there's something more appropriate https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch

I like the plugin ecosystem of course but for lots of reasons I'd like to first exhaust the built-in options.

[worthy tapir]

Anyone know of a button (maybe in hacs) to make locking my front door lock behave the way the alarm card works, where it starts blinking when you press it until it finishes arming

I ask because theres a delay when pressing the lock button before it updates as locked, and it can cause a user to keep pressing it not realizing its waiting

[opaque kiln]

What kind of entities do you want to build placeholders for? You can make template sensors, binary sensors, lights, fans, thermostats etc that just reference helpers and no physical devices. Or you can try the demo platform: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/demo/

[opaque kiln]

More appropriate than the custom:state-switch card for handling multiple possible states? You could use n x vanilla conditional cards for n states, but it gets tedious quickly.

[errant cosmos]

Ah ha. Sorry for the open ended questions, think I'm just trying to get the feel of things here.

[opaque kiln]

No worries, getting inputs early before you build out is a good policy.

[dense haven]

Hello,
My lovelace dashboard is starting to look pretty good 👍 if I may say so myself. Thanks for pointing me to the right documentation @Mariust
Now I have a question about using my dashboard to activate an automation. Not sure if possible but I have a few automations that start playing a set radio station on my speakers. I use a zigbee switch to start and stop those but would like to use my dashboard for this. Preferably a picture button that activates the required automation. Is this possible? I added a normal button card set as switch which activates the automation but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a good to do this? As I said preferably a button that I can use an image url with so I can add a picture of the radio stations

[opaque kiln]

Sounds eminently doable with a button card that calls the automation.trigger service targeting the automation of your choosing.

If you really need to use a picture...then custom:button-card could do that for you.

[dense haven]

Thanks for the feedback, ill give it a try. I was looking into calling service but must have looked over automation.trigger service

Custom button card is something that must be added I suppose? Through HACS?

[opaque kiln]

Yup HACS.

[loud glen]

Good you figured it out - btw you can just restart minimalist from the restart menu rather than doing a full restart (I mentioned this in the video)

Also, it's not this hard - your making a choice to go down the hard route (which is totally fine) but it's not a requirement

As in, there are many other dashboards available (including stock) which you can use instead

[main locust]

I’ve been able to hobble through so far. I hope HA keeps up with these UI changes and we have some simpler options in the future

Speaking of, I noticed that the room card has enough space on it to possibly list 2 items (temperature and humidity for example)

[autumn olive]

hi all, I've been looking around for quite some time now but I can't seem to find a solution toe the challenge that I'm facing.

I am creating a new dashboard and normally I only use the "Dark" theme so any custom icons I use are based on that. (by code)
Now I want to make it a little more user friendly but because I'm using custom images one of the images is not visible when I use the "Light" theme. (The image is white on a transparent background)
I would like to know how I can use the "conditional" card so I can check the current theme and change the Image according to that. (so on dark theme use white image, on light theme use black image)
Is there anyone who has/had this issue and does anyone know a solution for this?
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

[fiery ledge]

i do exactly that with my maps and use the config-template-card for that, to only template the relevant section```
- type: custom:config-template-card
entities:
- input_select.theme
variables:
theme: states['input_select.theme'].state
card:
type: custom:hui-element
card_type: map
dark_mode: ${(/ight|Dark|Matrix/).test(theme)}
entities:
- sensor.here_origin
- sensor.here_destination

if you dont need to template the config option, you can also use state-switch to do it:```
entities:
- type: custom:state-switch
entity: template
template: >
{{states('input_select.theme')|regex_search('(ight|Dark|Matrix)')}}
states:

the state-switch card does that

[barren venture]

there may be an easier way but you can create a template entity that's just the entity/3600 and use that for the gauge

@dark dirge so ideally a horizontal stack of mini-graph-cards but I'd like to only show graphs that have a value great than 0

[dark dirge]

a state-switch card could do that

[thorny obsidian]

for some reason dropdowns are no longer clickable for me.

I can only use arrow keys

touch events also doesn't work

i think it's a z-index issue but I can't get it to stay open by forcing :active, and :focus state on the input field, and I can't seem to find the the dropdown contents' component in the DOM

it's definitely not my theme either, I think it is a lovelace card installed through hacs because it only happens on lovelace dashboards. It does not happen at http://homeassistant.local:8123/developer-tools/service for example

Does anyone know how to break out of a horizontal-stack via YAML?

[dark dirge]

what do you mean? you define the cards that go in the horizontal stack

the next peer to the horizontal-stack will be "out" of it

[main locust]

It doesn't seem to be working like that. I want the top 2 cards horizontally stacked, but the devices cards I want vertically stacked

[dark dirge]

then you you should put them in a vertical-stack

[main locust]

Can I just type...vertical-stack instead of horizontal?

It can't be that easy

[dark dirge]

you can use a vertical-stack

[main locust]

• type: vertical-stack
  cards:

Damn bro

I thought it would be a lot more complicated

[dark dirge]

if you want to go crazy, there's the grid card and layout card and others

[polar kelp]

I replaced all my stacks with grid cards.

[main locust]

This is for a mobile view but I would proabbly use a grid when I gop to customize my wall panel

[dark dirge]

I use three stacks that end up side-by-side on desktop and sequential vertically on mobile, but there are probably other ways to do it

my YAML is far too complicated to play with it when I already like the result

[frosty flower]

can i have a dififerent layout for mobile vs desktop. the layout turns super wonky on my phone cause how how cards stack

but in the same dashboard, obv

[dark dirge]

I use state_switch based on the user for that

[autumn olive]

I use a different dashboard for my (portrait) mobile devices.
that way I can influence exactly what I want to have on them.

[frosty flower]

oh, i guess you can pick a different default dashboard for your mobile device

and is it possible to straight up hide the default dashboard from non admin users

Hello, I was wondering why the default Weather Forecast card does not show today's forecast? It displays the current temperature, and then the highs and lows for the next 5 days, but it does not show today's information. It's fine that it's 41 degrees when I wake up and look at it, but doesn't tell me what to expect as my day progresses. I do not see an option in the card to show this information. It seems odd that it's not there. Any help here?

Hi, where should report a minor bue. The background on the new addons page is not themed. Is fixed as #11111 ... it should be primary-background-color

[kind shell]

Want to see what issues are open (or were open and are now closed)?

• The core (backend) - for HA itself, and integrations
• The frontend (UI) - for cards and display issues
• The Supervisor
• HassOS
• The documentation

Don't forget to check for any alerts

If you think an upgrade broke something then:

1. Downgrade to the previous version to check if it works correctly there
2. If it does then change the logger settings for that integration to debug
3. Upgrade to the new version again
4. Look in the logs for errors
5. Open an issue, following the template provided and including the log information

Command '~issues' was invoked by: RobC

[frosty flower]

jk it was an error with edit mode only

[fading root]

This doesn't seem to be possible. What I did is "take control" of the default dashboard and just put a welcome message on it, then create a new auto-generated dashboard and mark that one admin only.

So, I seem to be having an issue with icons on old Android (5.1 I think?) web views for my dashboards - the mdi icons (like light bulbs, lamps, etc) don't show up. I have several wall boards that cannot seem to be updated to newer browser/web view versions. Is there any sort of workaround for this, other than not using icons? (The wall boards just use Fully Kiosk to bring up a browser that goes to the default dashboard)

[queen iron]

Also is there a way to display a clock (digital, analog, both?) for a card on a dashboard?

[frosty flower]

trying to get the cards to line up on the dashboard the way i want them to is mindnumbingly frustrating. there was got to be a better way than just pressing up and down and praying the cards go to the right spot...

Hi. I have just converted a template sensor showing time to some event in hours to the new 2022.5 device_class: duration. The unit_of_measurement is set to h. The entity card is now (I guess correctly) interpreting the 0.6 hours as 36 minutes and shows 36:00. How do I change this to show the duration in in the units of fractional hours again (to 1 decimal place). Thanks!

Im trying to add a picture element for a room as a state image, for some reason, the image is showing up cropped (in the bottom left of the preview, image file on the right). I have tried messing a bunch with width, height, and aspect ratio but nothing seems to just show the whole image.

[polar kelp]

You need to add a top and left to it. Now it's centered on 0,0 which is the bottom left corner.

[frozen olive]

Hey - has anyone managed to figure out how to rotate the image within a picture-entity using card-mod?
edit; nevermind, just figured it out

card_mod:
  style: |
    :host hui-image {
      transform: rotate(180deg);
    }

Hi all,
Is the Mushroom Cards release 1.7.3 pulled? HACS seems to only support 1.6.2 now. I installed 1.7.3 a couple of days ago through HACS and want to install it again on a friend's instance, but now it seems that only 1.6.2 is available. I cannot find info about this. Maybe I am overlooking something. Any idea?

Hello.
I have had this setup since long where I have climate card with mqtt commands.
Now I have a temp sensor in the room so I need to display current temperature in the center of the climate card.
I am reading climate documentation and some videos where they used target_sensor: {sensors_id} but documentation does not have this anywhere

I cannot find configuration check button in 2022.05

[small root]

It's in Developer Tools->YAML

[livid prairie]

Ah thanks

ok target_sensor is invalid for climate

Ok so I have Climate with platform as mqtt so I cannot use target_sensor

So now is there any way to display current temperature from existing sensor ?

ok found current_temperature but sadly that is also invalid for climate.mqtt

  "curr_temp_t":"homeassistant/climate/livingroom/state",
  "curr_temp_tpl":"",

Found this in documentation
Now sure how I can assign a sensors there

Ok Now I understand that Current temp is more of what is set for the ac

ok so current_temperature_topic it is and I am trying to fetch the state of the sensor

no luck

current_temperature_template: '{{ state_attr("sensors.mbr_temp_tempurature", "temperature") }}'

[small root]

I see a typo in there

sensors.mbr_temp_tempurature. Shouldnt that be sensors.mbr_temp_temperature ?

[livid prairie]

checking the state

[small root]

"tempUrature"

[livid prairie]

Yes I was checking in the entity name if its a typo there on in the config i set

current_temperature_template: '{{ state_attr("sensors.mbr_temp_temperature", "temperature") }}'

I love yaml part reloader

[small root]

That should work

[livid prairie]

no luck 😦

[small root]

Can you dump a screenshot of the state outcome in the developer tools for this sensor?

[livid prairie]

It should appear here right ?

[small root]

Owwww, not sure. I thought you didn't get the value at all

[small root]

So, if you retrieve the template in the developer tools state interface, does it show the temperature?

Did you create the template in templates.yaml?
