A different take on designing a Lovelace UI

The weather icons are all animated. Backgrounds are pictures. Those bars are the rain forecast of the next 2 hours.

EDIT:

every bar represents the rain probability in % for every 12 minutes range.

wow smart, that would be handy for me, as I have a motorbike so knowing rain is on the way would come in handy, what weather integration do you use? would you mind posing the logic for the bars for a reference?

I’m not using any integration, I’m using straight the Accuweather API. They only allow 24 calls per day in its free plan for Minutecast, so I created three tokens so I can make a request every 20 mins.

https://developer.accuweather.com/

I’m using NR to make the call but it can be done creating a rest sensor or command or whatever in HA itself. It’s a GET request and the url should look something like this:

http://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/minute?q=43.016666%2C%20-7.550000&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&language=es-es

Regarding those bars, I link you to a different post where I thoroughly exlained how it works. The config is shared in posts 16 and 17 but there’s the full explanation:

Same here. Did you find a solution?

Hi,

first of all, a huge thank you for this dashboard, it’s amazing! I’m learning a lot with it and I’m trying to make a notification center that turns on the tablet screen.

To do it, I rely on an automatization script, but I’m stuck on a detail: how can we open a popup in this automation script whose content is already in a yaml file identical to footer files etc…?

Automation script:

alias: Notifications onscreen
description: Système de notification onscreen basé sur l'event
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: home/notif/onscreen
condition: []
action:
  - service: switch.turn_on
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.galaxy_tab_a_screen
  - service: browser_mod.navigate
    data: !include popup/footer_popup.yaml
mode: single

YAML popup:

action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
  service: browser_mod.popup
  data:
    title: Popup
    timeout: 500000
    size: fullscreen
    content:
      type: grid
      columns: 2
      square: false
      cards:

        - type: custom:home-feed-card
          show_empty: false
          show_notification_title: true
          more_info_on_tap: true
          state_color: true
          remove_repeats: false
          entities:
            - entity: sensor.notifications
              name: Notifications
              include_history: true
              max_history: 10

the screen turns on well when an event is produced, but no popup :confused:

Thanks

this is more of a browser mod question than a dashboard question, you might get more help if you ask on 🔹 Browser_mod - turn your browser into a controllable device, and a media_player

looks like this is what you are after

the service you want to call is browser_mod.popup not browser_mod.navigate, you will need to pass the browser id, I don’t think you can pass in the full popup yaml to the automation, just copy and past the content section into the automation

Hi all,

I installed the dashboard about 2 days ago and I am really happy with the looks.
But currently I am struggling with some borders around cards in popups:

As seen in the picture there are borders around Akku and Memory/Disk.
I already checked earlier posts, but the solutions provided are not helping.

Cards effected: Vertical-Stack & Custom:bar-card.
Can provide footer_tablet.yaml if needed.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Hi Mattias,

I am not able to find:

  • browser_mod_icon.js,
  • card-mod-more-info in themes.yaml

were they named different?

BR Adrian

browser_mod_icon.js

it in the WWW folder, www/browser_mod_icon.js

card-mod-more-info

This should be located at the end of the themes file

Oh, found it. Sorry for the inconveniences!

Had to create browser_mod_icon.js myself.
Was not aware that I am able to open this for a more specific instruction:

Hi all, quick question: the styling of my sidebar is not always applied (see pictures below). It looks like a random issue, sometimes it is loaded. Sometimes it is not. Looking in the CSS I notice that the car-mod is not loaded when the sidebar is not styled. So I suspect the card-mod?

I do load it in the recommended mode (configuration.yaml):

frontend:
  extra_module_url:
    /hacsfiles/lovelace-card-mod/card-mod.js

Example of correctly styled sidebar:

Anyone else facing this random loading of sidebar styling? Can anyone pinpoint me in the right direction, already tried a lot of thing without any success.

Thanks in advance!

the sidebar should be custom:button-card for this exact reason. it’s faster and you can write both js and jinja templates

is it possible to add extra theme, if i want to use a different theme and a dashboard on my mobile.

when i try to move theme.yaml in themes folder and rename it to tablet and change frontend in config.yaml

frontend: 
  themes: !include_dir_named themes
template: !include sidebar.yaml

it complains about the

extra_module_url:

  - /hacsfiles/lovelace-card-mod/card-mod.js

When i want to cast this dashboard to my nest hub mini i receive the message.
Set Theme to tablet in profile.

On my laptop everything is fine also try to set the theme default for all instances.
call service → Home Assistant Frontend: Set Theme
Set the dark theme from dropdown, to Dark
execute

But still the same message on the nest hub

you have to choose tablet theme in your profile settings theme

hello

perhaps some can help, its a little bit complicated but i try to explain, i have the standard light card with a extra card for my icon from my input_boolean.

When i now click the icon the light changes to ON and the boolean to ON.
the states are

Boolean = from OFF to ON
Light = from OFF to ON

or when i turn of the light

Boolean = from ON to OFF
Light = from ON to OFF

this here is the standard behaviour

gif

than everything works fine, BUT when my Motion sensor triggers the light the boolean doesnt change the states are now for example

Boolean = OFF
Light = from OFF to ON
or
from ON to OFF

than the icon with the motion sensor still stands in the circle with the brightness.

Unbenannt

my theory is that this happened because the state and card of the light changes from say ON to OFF but the second card with the icon remains unchanged since the boolean does not change its status

maybe someone of the pros here has an idea?
here is my card code

that is complicated,

Can you explain why you need the input boolean at all?
Why not use the on off state of the light to control the position of the motion-sensor icon?

The other option is to use an automation to keep the boolean and light state the same, or have the automation that is triggered by the Motion sensor also toggle the input boolean. however, if the input boolean is only for the icon position I would remove it

hello @masoncrawford1994,

yes of course, i need the input_boolean for the option to set my motion sensor automation off or dont turn my light off.
For example, the code i posted is for my kitchen Wled Stripe under my kitchen, the stripe is motion controlled by a motion sensor, when i now want to have the light ON and not got switched off by the motion sensor i need this helper (input_boolean).

but sometimes when guests are here or i want to cook for a longer time i want the light always on. And thats what the helper does.

thats why i cant toogle the boolean with the Motion sensor Automation.

hmm there must be a way to solve the whole thing, right? At least I hope so
somehow link the status of the button card with the icon with the entity of the light or something

when i use the light entity as a variable in the icon button card? and than add a condition that when
light entity changed to ON && Boolean == OFF ?

i tried something like this

- value: 'off'
                              icon: mdi:motion-sensor
                              styles:

here the variable for the if condition : variables: original_entity: light.wled_kitchen_top_2
but this wont work, when the light turns on and the boolean is still OFF he makes nothing. because the boolean changes not the state

perhaps over a animation? he must only slide the icon to the bottom, but when there is no boolean trigger it wont work or?
