Add auto-generated groups (e.g. group.all_lights) to custom default view

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’d like to unclutter my “Home” tab in the web ui, removing some of the less often used controls.
I’m defining a new default_view, which works so far.
I’d like to add some of the auto-created groups that appear on the non-customized default view like the “Automations” and “Scripts” cards.
There seem to be corresponding groups, group.all_automations, group.all_scripts etc.
However, adding those groups to my customized default_view does not make them appear in on my default view tab.

Example:

default_view:
  view: yes
  entities:
    - group.all_automations

This does not seem to work.

What am I missing?

You also need to unhide the group in your customizations.yaml.
group.all_automations: hidden: false

Thanks, that did the trick!
It’s strange though, that these cards show up in the non-customized default view regardless of their hidden state.
I guess that’s just something one needs to know…

for the same reason i’m looking for group.all_groups
is that possible, ive already unhidden it in the customize, but no results…

group.all_groups does not exist normally. You will have to create it manually in the groups: section of your configuration. You can always check what entities exist or are created by various platforms by going to the states section (<> icon on the left menu bar) and searching for an entity.

thx, thats what i do now.
Thought to robotize it a bit :wink:

and of course, adjust the homepage to a cleaner and more informative front page, while copying the default homepage to another tab. Have to recreate it with all groups…

Also would like the information card to be present on another tab(view), but how to do that. Same goes for weblink card. I can find no way to show these on other tabs than the current default Home page?

Thanks,
Marius

Hi. Is this any different now (with the web-based customization interface)? Because I can’t get my groups.all_automations (or any all_* actually) to show up.
I have removed the “Hide from UI” tick in customize, and my config looks something like this:

SettingsView:
  view: yes
  icon: mdi:settings
  entities:
    - group.settings
    - group.all_automations

No. It’s the same. I have a page dedicated to status of everything and groups all work

Hmmm… I can’t get my hidden: false customisation to “stick” when done through the UI. Every time I go back to the groups.all_* they’re hidden again - as shown in the <> panel and the customize section. Other customisations do stick.
The HA user is the owner of the customize.yaml file.

why don’t you try it from the configuration file instead of the customization ui?
