Weather card setup

[fallow aspen]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get the clock weather card setup: https://github.com/pkissling/clock-weather-card?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration

I've followed all the steps and when I go to add the configuration to ui-lovelace.yaml, I get an error - "Missing property "views".

I've tried Googling this and can't seem to find much on it, nor a solution.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks 🙂

Is it something that would solve itself if I replace the entity ID with my weaher provider's id?

You need to have a view on your dashboard before you can add cards to it

Are you wanting to create dashboards in yaml mode, and not in the UI?

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

This is given as the minimum example for a yaml dashboard

views:
    # View tab title.
  - title: Example
    cards:
        # The markdown card will render markdown text.
      - type: markdown
        title: Dashboard
        content: >
          Welcome to your **dashboard**.

Thanks for the response! I'm actually trying to make them in the UI. I'm not yet experienced enough with .yaml to feel confident making dashboards that way, haha

ok then you shouldn't be messing around in ui-lovelace.yaml

How did you end up there?

Looks like the card's instructions talked about adding resources even when installing via HACS. General rule of thumb when adding custom cards via HACS: find card in HACS, download, then refresh your browser (maybe clear its cache, if needed).
Copy the full configuration. In your dashboard: edit, add card, select manual at the bottom of the list, paste the code, set your weather entity in line two. Lastly, tinker with rest of the settings (and consulting the doc for understanding options) and get it set up the way you want.

Ah, I must have misunderstood the last step of the install from the github:

I didn't realize adding the cofig to ui-lovelace.yaml was for only the yaml method
