Anyway to hide items from UI/Group based on value

Configuration
1

So I have a few sensors showing which zone I’m in and how far it is to other zones. If I’m at a zone the time is zero. Anyway to hide them when the value is 0 (or whatever I set it to)

This is my current setup. When I’m at work (more often it’s home), I dont need to know it’s zero minutes to home. :slight_smile:

What I’d like is something like this. Basically anytime the value is 0 (Might want it to be less than 2, sometimes it says one if the gps is a bit off) I want it to not be shown.

This is more of a nice to have, something to learn than anything else. Not a huge deal.

@Mariusthvdb things that are similar to this. Pretty sure you can use a data template on the visible property on groups, not sure if that translates to sensors though.

You can use customization to hide entities (hidden: true), but AFAIK not based on a value template.

To mimic this, you could build 2 views. One with the sensors shown and one hidden. Since a view is a group, you can use group.set_visibility to hide one and show the other dynamically.

You can vote for this feature request (or develop it yourself):

using this in Tiles custom-ui, following CSS:

  - entity: light.mobile
    label: Mobile
    icon: mdi:transfer
    column: 3
    row: 14
    row_span: 2
    style_template: >
      if (entities['sensor.mobile_reachable'].state === 'False') return 'display:none';

only shows the light if it is reachable…

That does require the use of Custom UI and is impossible with standard yaml configuration.

6

correct. that wont be an issue would it?

Not an issue, but I’d like to stay away from this as long as possible. :blush:

once you’ve seen the possibilities, you will never go back… endless and so much more pleasing to the eye. I;d say @eddi89 and @andrey ’ custom cards are unmissable for a great Hassio UX and ought to be standard tools in everyones HA toolbox

next to not showing it, one can also have it shown n/a:

wouldn’t know how to do that with regular yaml and templates. Wouldn’t say it’s impossible, just don’t know, but this is so nice.
was a bit more complex though:

    style_template: >
      if (entities['sensor.driveway_reachable'].state === 'False') return 
      'border: 1px dotted #D3D3D3;color:#D3D3D3; --tiles-text-sec-color: #D3D3D3;background-color:var(--paper-card-background-color)';

one can hide/show a group based on the value_template though, and if that group only contains one item , the question is answered isnt it?

Custom_ui does use standard yaml configuration for the most part, and usually just involves dumping a couple of files in the www directory.

you got a link to those UIs?
