A different take on designing a Lovelace UI

im really love your work. thanks for effort. i want show battery levels for persons. I need help for it.

@Mattias_Persson so I was able to implement the code into the button_card_templates.yaml but it took some splicing of other portions of your code to make it work AND scaling properly for mobile. Thanks for the help!

For anyone wanting to use mini-graph-card as a button card, the code is below:

Hi!
First I want to thank all of you for putting all these code up here and helping each others.

I’m trying to use the footer to show how many of my batteries level are under a certain threshold.
But I’m not really good at javascript so I tried to do it in jinja2.
But the problem is that even though I convert it to integer, it seems to not recognize is at integer.
the code is like this.
How come?
Is it possible to make this in javascript?

{% set ignore_entities = ['sensor.bass_boss_battery_sensor','sensor.lenovo_tb_x306f_battery_level'] %}
  {% set test = states.sensor
    | selectattr('attributes.device_class', 'defined')
    | selectattr('attributes.device_class', 'eq', 'battery')
    | rejectattr('entity_id', 'in', ignore_entities)
    | map(attribute='state')
    | reject('in', ['unknown', 'unavailable'])
    | map('int', -1) | select('le', 60)
    |select('ge', 0)
    | list | count
%}

{% if test == 0 %}

{% else %}
  {{ test  | int }}
{% endif %}

You can use this template by replacing === 'playing' with < 50

or something like this

let list = [],
  exclude = 'sensor.test_battery';
Object.keys(states).forEach(key => {
  let device_class = states[key].attributes.device_class,
    state = states[key].state;
  if (key !== exclude && device_class === 'battery' && state < 50) {
    list.push(key);
  }
});
return list.length;

Anyone receiving this error?

Error: Failed to execute ‘define’ on ‘CustomElementRegistry’: the name “mod-card” has already been used with this registry

Been searching around for a solution and no luck so far.

I did come across that thread but if I’m following what’s mentioned correctly, that specific issue which caused this same error as well was fixed. I was assuming it was something related with how I setup your Lovelace dashboard (which is awesome by the way) but after digging around I’m at a loss. I’ll maybe reopen that issue over on the card-mod repo to see if there’s a solution.

perhaps someone that uses Plex is interrested, i make a workaround for the Recent Plex Widget, with this its possible to show only the “last added unwatched Movies”, and not the “last added Watched / unwatched Movies”.

add a sensor template in your configuration.yaml

- platform: template
    sensors:
      plex_unwatched:
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.plex_recently_added_movies') }}"
        attribute_templates:
          data: "{{ state_attr('sensor.plex_recently_added_movies', 'data') | selectattr('flag', 'defined') | selectattr('flag', 'eq', true) | list }}"

and then add the name of the sensor in die ui-lovelance “sensor.plex_unwatched”.
thats all, now you have the latest unwatched movies.

Hi @Mattias_Persson, great ui! I’ve been trying to replicate this for my needs, but I’ve run into a problem. The conditional media card does not work at all. I triple checked the code, but no errors in the physical code. The error I’m getting does explain what’s wrong, but even when I try to fix that, the error persists. My limited knowledge of ha is keeping me from figuring out what is wrong.

Here is the error:

Thanks!

Thank you. I am not using your files at all, but that info pointed me to some docs about CSS (of wich I have no idea until now :).
I managed to make my own “grid”, but the spacing among the groups of cards does not work even using the CSS documentation.
It appears that it ignores that part

    type: custom:grid-layout
    layout:
      column-gap: 5px;
      row-gap: 10px;
      grid-template-areas: |
        "sidebar  card01  card02"
        "sidebar  card03  card04"
        "sidebar  footer  footer"

Also grid-gap: does not work.
Is HA overwrites this someplace else?

Progress so far:

This is one of the group that contains 4 cards:

ps.
I do not use reference files since my UI is rather simple.

Hi @Mattias_Persson
great UI, thanks for effort
How do I get these button cards centered in a vertical stack. I am trying to make a vertical stack with cards to navigate through different views on my dashboard

Firstly thanks for last reply. I tried graph code but i think i miss something, i just change sensor entity

ss

Looks like this :frowning:

I tried Dev tools but i didn’t understand where im wrong.
ps: I put your code into ui-lovelace.yaml

thanks

That’s just what the sensor card looks like. I hid those elements with card-mod

card_mod:
  style: |
    .header, .value, .measurement {
      display: none !important;
    }

also present in the sample

use card-mod-helper and you’ll get this

#view>hui-view>grid-layout$#root>hui-vertical-stack-card$#root>hui-vertical-stack-card$#root

so, add this under SIDEBAR LAUNDRY TIMER in themes.yaml

grid-layout$hui-vertical-stack-card$hui-vertical-stack-card$: |
  #root {
    align-items: center;
  }

Try grid-gap again without putting a ; at the end (it’s valid css but not yaml)

@Quinnod34 @Pablo_Gustavo_Fiscel

pm me your ui-lovelace.yaml and button_card_templates.yaml and I’ll have a look

I’ve never encountered that error. Are you sure you’ve updated card-mod to latest and cleared browser cache on your devices?

I found the problem but not the solution. The Plex Recently Added sensor appears online but data is empty. When I find the problem I know I will be able to correct the rest. I already learned a lot with your repository. But I am stuck with this problem. Thanks for answering.
