how to get the devices information, what plugin? 
thx for sharing love the transition to turn on TV. I have the same idea to orgnize my NAS, course it alway take time for turning on/off. I can turn on/off remote, but when i turn on I can’t get the loading anmination,would someone help? here is my code:
define my NAS as switch.
- platform: wake_on_lan
name: GEN8 NAS
mac: !secret gen8_nas_mac
host: !secret gen8_nas_ip
turn_off:
service: shell_command.turn_off_nas
define the card button
how to get the loading status?
i found the code in your lovelace.yaml
loading: >
[[[ var boolean = states['input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv'].state;
var invert = (entity.state === 'off') ? 'invert(1)' : 'none';
var loader = '<img src="/local/loader.svg" width="100%" style="filter:' + invert + '">';
if (boolean === 'on' && entity.state === 'off' || boolean === 'on' && entity.state === 'on') return loader; ]]]
so why do u define the “input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv” as boolean type?

may u check the path, try
/popup/test.yaml
NOTICE the ‘/’
if the yaml and the popup file are not in same folder, try entire path like “…/folder/folder/filename.x”

The input booleans are just there to hide/show the loading wheel. So when I turn on my TV I do it with a switch.
#configuration.yaml
input_boolean:
sony_bravia_tv:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
tv_template:
value_template: "{{ is_state('media_player.sony_bravia_tv', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: script.tv_on
turn_off:
service: script.tv_off
If we take a look at the scripts, I turn on the input boolean and then turn on the tv. I’m letting apple tv turn on the tv with hdmi-cec. Also turning on the input boolean again when turning off the tv.
#scripts.yaml
tv_on:
sequence:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv
- service: remote.send_command
data:
entity_id: remote.vardagsrum
command: menu
tv_off:
sequence:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv
- service: media_player.turn_off
entity_id: media_player.sony_bravia_tv
The reason for naming the input_boolean the same as the TV (input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv, media_player.sony_bravia_tv) is to be able to condense the automation which turns the loading wheel off.
I also have a fail safe in case some state changes doesn’t register and the wheel spins forever. To combat this I just time it so if it goes on for more than a minute it turns itself off.
#automations.yaml
- alias: turn_off_loading_wheel
initial_state: true
trigger:
# watch TV state change from on to off or the reverse
- platform: state
entity_id:
['media_player.sony_bravia_tv', 'media_player.samsung',
'switch.dator_template', 'switch.playstation_template']
action:
# turn off loading wheel with corresponding entity_id
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
data_template:
entity_id: >-
{{ trigger.entity_id |
replace('media_player', 'input_boolean') |
replace('switch', 'input_boolean') }}
- alias: turn_off_loading_wheel_fail_safe
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
['input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv', 'input_boolean.samsung',
'input_boolean.dator_template', 'input_boolean.playstation_template']
to: 'on'
for:
minutes: 1
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
data_template:
entity_id: "{{ trigger.entity_id }}"
Hope that helps
EDIT:
@coLATin Come to think of it, we can bypass switches and scripts by directly calling it in button-card.
- type: custom:button-card
entity: media_player.sony_bravia_tv
tap_action:
services: |
[[[ if (entity.state === 'off')
hass.callService('input_boolean', 'turn_on', {entity_id: 'input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv'});
hass.callService('remote', 'send_command', {entity_id: 'remote.vardagsrum', command: 'menu'});
if (entity.state === 'on')
hass.callService('input_boolean', 'turn_on', {entity_id: 'input_boolean.sony_bravia_tv'});
hass.callService('media_player', 'turn_off', {entity_id: 'media_player.sony_bravia_tv'}); ]]]

much appreciated, will do that 
HI Matt. Great work you have done. I am having some issues using your setup i hope you can help with. So in the sidebar i wanted to implement my calendar card from hacs which works fine. My issue is when i insert it in picture elements and more agendas are added the card expands not in a downwards vertical direction as it should do but both up/downwards. How can i force it to expand only downwards? I hope you can help me with a solution. 
I know that for certain things you can set height or max-height to 1px. If it respects the height you’ll not see the card but if it doesn’t that will lock it in place vertically.

HI Matt. Just a second question. The icon you use for the vacuum to lunch the mod_browser works perfect, but is it possible to do this with an image instead without including an entity like in your solution?
By including an entity do you mean the tap action? If so yes
- type: image
image: local/test.png
style:
top: 50%
left: 50%
width: 50%
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: browser_mod.popup
service_data:
deviceID: this

Hey @Mattias_Persson
Did you change your synology_dsm configuration from your configurations / sensors file and used the now build in Integration feature instead?
Perfect. i cant believe how much time i have used to found this out.
Last question 
in your greatings card: instead off using unicode character how could i use an image instead? (I am displaying from an rpi so the icons are not that nice)
Can i do this in the same sentence or would you create another sensor that changes image?
I think you could use these as markdown renders them
emoji {{'\U0001F611'}}
icon <ha-icon icon="mdi:home-assistant"></ha-icon>
image <img src="/local/test.png" width="40%">
Yeah, I think the modified stopped working and haven’t looked into it.
EDIT:
Hey @Yoinkz
The setup moved from sensors.yaml to configuration.yaml
#configuration.yaml
synology_dsm_custom:
# update sensors every 30 seconds instead of 15min
# __init__.py SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(seconds=30)
# const.py DOMAIN = "synology_dsm_custom"
# manifest.json "domain": "synology_dsm_custom"
- host: !secret synologydsm_host
port: !secret synologydsm_port
ssl: false
username: !secret synologydsm_username
password: !secret synologydsm_password
EDIT 2:
21/05/2020
Scan interval has been added to the integrations page, so ignore above instructions.
Im am 100% sure how to impletment this? could you give an example?
Literally just replace the unicode with an mdi or image
{% set t = now().hour %}
{% if t <= 1 %} God natt {{'\U0001F611'}}
{% elif t <= 3 %} God natt <ha-icon icon="mdi:home-assistant"></ha-icon>
{% elif t <= 5 %} God natt <img src="/local/test.png" width="40%">

Work like a charm. 
Just one last thing for today ;). I have had this discussion with many. When running picture elements en “panel=true” it automatically adjust the width but do you have any good idea how to automate the height so we dont have the roller on the right side? i have seen alot of questions regarding this?
That’s not possible, sorry.
