2024.8: Beautiful badges!

Thanks. For the time being, I reverted back to 2024.7 and am gonna try again towards the end of the month. Seen a number of people posting about odd issues with 2024.8 and I don’t want to update to what amounts to a beta version. If they haven’t fixed the new badges to be decent/usable by then, I’ll give your suggestion a shot. Thanks.

sure, find it posted above in 2024.8: Beautiful badges! - #10 by nickrout

if you cant read that:

      - type: custom:hui-state-badge-element
        entity: light.alarm
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        hold_action:
          action: more-info

will get you sorted (if you set specific styling, there’s no promises those will be retained, as this now is another type, and adjustments will need to be made )

Thanks for the reply!

@madelena and @frenck, as the refreshed website was released around 2024.7, the site started to produce a weird behaviour. Is there an issue tracker for this sort of issues?

The DOM is not updated properly as there are other artefacts experienced, and in the case of the automations, browser not the issue.

For those impacted with the Alexa custom component not working it’s fixed in failed to SignIn · Issue #2407 · alandtse/alexa_media_player · GitHub (with an upstream dependency)…component seems to be pending a new Release as of now but the instructions to manually fix (update requirements in manifest.json) while running v4.12.6 are in the linked issue…

@tomkHA @Xitee @CChris you all mentioned the issue in this thread so just FYI

True, the “badge” is not new but as the previous badge element was effectively replaced by a completely new look, which can’t be switched, we could just call it a new card :slight_smile:

Anyhow, you completely missed the point: The forced bi-directional relation between the top row and the badge card is unnecessary.

I am loving the new badges but I would like to see more flexibility:

  • using chips also in sections, so on complete dashboard (like normal cards)
  • using normal cards also as badges (I have display devices where the chips are so small that they can hardly be selected on that dashboard, for these I need bigger cards)
  • what about optional sidebar(s), header, footer?

This notice applies only if you use the recorder integration with a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. If you are using the default SQLite database, you can ignore it.

What happens when i have mariadb?
My database size is 5GB. I am using HABlue to run HA. How much time should i expect?

a little bit chalk and cheese as not same machine, but my 4.5GB mariadb database took just over 70 mins to update on a PI5

(a notification appears in HA when the conversion starts and dissapears once complete so you know when you’re done…it’s in the logs too)

I discovered what the issue was. Badges using the entity filter don’t convert into new style badges using equivalent viability rules. You need to remove the entity filter using the complete Dashboard Yaml editor and readd to use visibility.

What about new notification groups? I am using yaml until now to group my mobile app notification services. I tried to mimic the same in UI, but these notification entities for mobile apps don’t show up in the dropdown. Is there any limitation?

I am not sure what happened there. It didnt take much time :-/

think those logs are just for the Core upgrade finishing…the DB will update the schema separately…you’ll see a Notification when it starts (and is in logs for Core too)


It looks like it took around 30 min.

If you’re ok with modifying the manifest file for AMP… the comment in this bug report fixed it for me (upgrades alexa.py):

Am I the only one who upgraded and still see the old badges with no way to add new ones as shown here? Quite sure I’m missing something but could not figure out what…

yes, these groups work with notify entities, and mobile_app doesn’t have these (yet) so cant be used with notify groups

I had also updates for my nanoleaf products.
It worked for me after I tried it a second time per each device. And only if I selected one at the same time.
