2022.12 Color states are broken/unusable

[markck101 (Mark K)]

Tom,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I had seen that solution but I (perhaps mistakenly?) thought it would set all of my binary sensors to be either amber or red when not off:

“state-binary-sensor-alerting-color: ‘#F44336’ # Red
state-binary-sensor-color: ‘#FFC107’ # Amber”

My two binary sensors work opposite to each other, I’d like one red when off (ping) and one red when on (power supply error).

Can I include actual sensor names in the themes.yaml with different colour options for each sensor?

Thanks again.

If you go creative with picture elements card then you can control the colours of individual entities for both on and off. See my earlier posts where I describe how

@markck101

Please can someone tell me how I can make easy changes - I’m not a programmer - to get back to the colours I used to have for these two sensors?

You are out of luck.

back…

using:

      color: >
        {{iif(states[config.entity].state == 'on','red','black')}}

does its job here

Hi! So this is working for you, using template entity row, to have the icons light up with your chosen color when they are active?

[markck101 (Mark K)]

Thanks for the ongoing replies, I will follow up on the ideas suggested.

But I suppose I was really hoping it would be as easy as setting multiple colours in the gauge card as shown in this image:

Any way of asking if that could be included in a future release please?

I have just raised a Feature Request under Frontend to see if we can choose colours for on and off for each binary sensor history graph card:

Choose colours for binary sensor history graphs

With 2022.12 my binary sensor history graphs show yellow for on and grey for off. I have several such graphs and I would like to be able to choose e.g. red for on and green for off, or vice versa, depending on the binary sensor and what I am using it for. The gauge card allows for a lot of customisation of colours where you can define segments and the exact colour for each segment, like this: [image] Please can we have a feature where we can defin…

Fingers crossed and Season’s Greetings.

I think you could accomplice your desired “View” using “history-explorer-card”, where you can choose/change colors, in a single-panel-view or grid, what ever suits you.

I know this is also mentioned “few” posts above, but you might have missed it, as it’s now 13days ago

ehh, yes? that’s what I wrote?

@markck101

yes, file a FR at home-assistant/frontend · Discussions · GitHub just like you did here

wait, never mind, thats the same FR. Sorry.
otoh, you should really vote for it yourself…

Thank you. Sorry for the dumb question, it’s a long thread and I missed some details.

–paper-item-icon-active-color

Sooo… I just set the value of paper-item-icon-active-color to ‘#FFC107’ in that custom Theme posted earlier in this thread and it fixed the template entity row icon colors for me.

I think there should be also a different color for a different state of the alarm control panel. For night, at home, away and disarmed.

[STATERA (Lux)]

In your solution, are the listed states for the “Classic” theme all the new changes to the colors for the front-end? I want to be sure I am adjusting all of my themes that I created correctly. I’d rather not revert to an old backup after I attempt this update again

[marc.forn]

Does anyone knows when they are going to fill the following state?

state-lock-unlocked-color: ‘#ff8000’

It’s the only one I still can not modify since this horrible UI update…

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

might have lost it in the huge amount of comments, but please have a look at:

where the graph nicely colors green/red(ish), but the bullets in the logbook are not in sync with that. This is so ugly and distracting. Why not have the logbook sync with the colors set in the graph?

Should we set an explicit color in those logbooks too?

[Ildar_Gabdullin]

You are using a custom history graph, have you checked a “normal” more-info?

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

uhm, need to figure out how to do that again

btw, I did see the show more leads to this:

which is even worse, and that is also true for the default theme colors:

where we previously had nice coloring in Logbook, this now has disappeared too?

edit

found it again, had to u hide the selector…

    uiLayout:
#       toolbar: hide
#       selector: hide

and yes that is back to the same colors for both.

theme the on color for binary:

How did you get the climate controls in the Tile Card? It looks nice!

[asafhas]

Same here. It’d be nice to get back different colors for “armed away” and “armed home”.

[NathanCu (Nathan Curtis)]

It’s not the tile card. That’s the climate variety of Mushroom
