To "drill into light groups," I use [ | Home Assistant | Page 1

I was trying to figure out how to add something to this tile card so when I clicked on it, it would show me all the lights in the group so I can mess with them individually. is browser_mod still a good choice for that?

#

I installed it but I am a little confused on how to get it going.

Looking at the docs and then the Tile Card configuration when adding one to the dashboard, it seems that it is a little unique in the fact that it only allows tap_actions but not hold_action or double_press. If does, however, add an icon_tap_action.
My thoughts: you could set the tap_action to toggle the group and then the icon_tap_action to show the popup.

i was a little tired when explaining what i wanted to do yesterday. i wanted to be able to control the group like that Tile card photo up there, but I wanted to be able to do something to tap it and expand it to show all the lights in the group so I could modify any of them separately

#

#

similar to how google home does it

#

the main button controls power, and you can slide for brightness, but you can expand it

static scaffold Dec 24, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

Do you mean you're looking for it to expand/collapse?

elfin moat Dec 24, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

yeah one sec let me record video

#

i wanted to try and make it like this

#

the default stock Tile card does that for the entire group, but theres no way to expand it and have separate controls for each device in the group

#

and i have 13 light sources in one group, so i cant make 13 individual things thats nuts lol

#

i would love to be able to tap somewhere on the tile card, and have it expand downward, listing each light and then a slider for brightness. then you could tap and hold on any light if you wanted to drill into color options.

#

(basically what the video shows)

With the stock HA cards, I'm pretty sure that will not be possible.
But, I'm pretty sure I saw someone post something similar recently and I noticed the collapsible section. I'm not sure if this is what I saw but this looks promising: Expander Card

#

hm. let me look

#

yeah HA is nice except when you want individual controls. i didnt want to make a new dashboard for each room. thats a bit much

static scaffold Dec 24, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

That's where you can use the auto-entities card. You can drop that into the expander cards section with the appropriate settings such as the respective area.

elfin moat Dec 24, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

yeah let me try that here quick and see if it works

#

i like the bubble card thing someone posted also, but i dont know if i want it at the bottom of my dashboard. i'd rather have it as a card

The Decluttering card can be useful for that. Basically, you can make a template of the card you want to replicate. Then it is just a matter of referencing the decluttering card template and setting an entity. 3 lines per light source.

Yeah. That's kind of a limitation of the Bubble Card popup. It doesn't really play well mixed in with the rest of the dashboard. I actually can't use it my dashboard because of that limitation.

elfin moat Dec 24, 2023, 2:12 AM

#

yeah i love how it works, i just dont want it at the bottom floating around. i want a dashboard for lights, where all the light groups are....and then i can click to expand it and drill down to a single light in that group if i want to control just that 1

#

man i like that expand thing you linked, but its buggy. it flickers and resets when im trying to use it and pasting in cards doesnt work

static scaffold Dec 24, 2023, 2:21 AM

The other bad thing about it is I don't think it will be developed any more. Looks like the Dev turned off the Issues and commented that

FOSS is broken. People suck

I don't care anymore.

yeah i was going to submit something and saw that

It looks like there are two forks that have some development. One is list as being 51 commits ahead and the other is 21 commits ahead. Not sure what (if any) difference there is.

#

sorry to trouble you a lot. i can try the browser_mod thing, i like how you press and hold and it pops up. im not sure how to build it though

static scaffold Dec 24, 2023, 3:03 AM

#

Here's the code directly from my dashboard. Don't forget the Tile card only has the two tap actions that I mentioned. Also, you'll need to adapt the card and entities to match yours.

            hold_action:
              action: fire-dom-event

does this apply to an existing card I already have, or do i have to build a card from scratch?

static scaffold Dec 24, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

You should be able to drop this into an existing card. Just change the action from hold_action to tap_action, for example and adjust the indention to fit the rest of the card. (Highlight the lines to adjust and press Tab or Shift+Tab to adjust.)

elfin moat Dec 24, 2023, 3:10 AM

#

#

okay so that

#

well that area

static scaffold Dec 24, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

You'll have to go into the code editor. (in the bottom left corner)

#

Wait. That's a button card. That's not the Tile card you originally posted. Still okay though. In this case, you can set the tap_action to toggle and then drop the hold_action into the yaml code.
Note: you'll probably get a warning about not being able to use the UI when you paste. That's okay. It is just letting you know the UI doesn't understand what you just put in and you'll have to work with the code instead of the UI.

yeah. you'll just need to adjust the content: section to be able to handle your entities and maybe the card type if you don't have the slider-entity-row.

Browser Mod for the pop-up. Card mod for the styling. I'm not sure if not having card mod would prevent the pop-up though.
