Try combining it with a conditional card, so itās hidden when it should be blank
I am struggeling set up a condition for entities which fit a certain string, have a state >85 and not the unit %. I tried the following, but the result is empty. Maybe one of you would be so kind to help me.
- entity_id: sensor.*_memory_use*
state: '>85'
attributes:
unit_of_measurement: "%"
Edit: It is working if I omit the attributes part.
try state: ā> 85ā
And Use The DOCS as āreferenceā when adding a Card
GitHub - thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities: š¹Automatically populate the entities-list of lovelace cards.
Thank you for your answer. I should have mentioned, that it is working, if I omit the attributes part.
Ok, check your sensors in /Developer Tools / States, whether they actually have an Attributes " ```
unit_of_measurement:
They do, I copied it from there. But, I found a workaround. Thank you non the less.

HELP: is there a simple way to style the card to show larger images? Iām using it to show the latest movement snapshots taken from my camera, but they appear as small circles:
Iād like to see them as It would be great to see them large enough to understand whatās going on.
you probably best use another card then, and not shown them as entities.
use them eg as background for a custom:button-card
or use the core picture card
Has anyone managed to get show_empty: false working with the new sections please?
I have this set and empty auto-entity cards result in empty space still.
Are you sure the auto-entities actually ends up empty? Or, does it end up with a card type that is empty?
If the latter, then auto-entities will see a card and show it.
You can post your code and we can help from there.

Thanks for your reply jeffcrum, this is what I haveā¦
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
show_header_toggle: false
title: Battery warning
type: entities
state_color: true
filter:
include:
- attributes:
device_class: battery
state: <=10
exclude:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.keypad_battery_low
- entity_id: sensor.iphone_97_battery_level
- entity_id: sensor.ed_mobile_battery_level
- entity_id: sensor.eds_pixel_watch_2_battery_level
sort:
method: state
numeric: true
show_empty: false
Hi,
I am trying to use this card but for some reason it ends up in an infinite loop.
Here is one example I am trying to setup:
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: glance
title: Lights on
filter:
include:
- domain: light
options:
tap_action:
action: toggle
sort:
method: state
And in the preview I see an infinite loop with this card and its slowing down the whole web browser:
Any ideas why this is happening?
if youāre looking t find the lights that are āonā you need to add that too:
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: glance
title: Lights on
filter:
include:
- domain: light
state: 'on'
options:
tap_action:
action: toggle
sort:
method: state
be aware that this config also shows the light groups etc that all belong to the light domain, so if you want to exclude those, add an exclude filter on the relevant attribute .
other than that, I didnt see the looping so cant help you there

I copied and pasted your code into a test card. Then added another exclude line to make it empty.
It works just fine. As it is, no card shows. If I change show_empty to true, it shows an empty card.
Sorry, I am not sure I explained the issue well. The show_empty setting does correctly toggle if a card is shown. The issue is that when set to false there is a space where the card would have been, affecting the position of other cardsā¦
Can I get the general waste card right beneath the section title?
You might actually be onto something here. If @eplusg has strangely configured groups (e.g. group a contains group b and b contains a), then I can see an infinite recursion happen.

No. I get it. So, I setup a card with data, followed by your code I used above, and another card with data.
When the middle card gets no records from auto-entities, the third card is immediately below the first card with no gap.
This was directly on a new test dashboard.
Iām trying to populate a Buttons row for an Entities card by expanding a group of entities using a decluttering template:
light_area_template:
card:
type: entities
title: "[[title]]"
entities:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: buttons
filter:
include:
- group: "[[group]]"
options:
show_name: true
sort:
method: name
ignore_case: true
exclude:
- state: "unavailable"
Iām then calling it like so:
- type: custom:decluttering-card
template: light_area_template
variables:
- title: "Living"
- group: group.light_area_living
This is however not working, and it returns an error: Unknown type encountered: buttons
This would be the code that works for this particular group:
- type: entities
entities:
- type: buttons
entities:
- entity: "light.zigbee_light_lamp_living_front"
show_name: true
- entity: "light.zigbee_light_lamp_living_back"
show_name: true
- entity: "light.zigbee_light_lamp_billy"
show_name: true
- entity: "light.light_living_corner"
show_name: true
- entity: "light.light_living_center"
show_name: true
- entity: "light.light_living"
show_name: true
And produces this result:
Any idea how I could make this work using auto-entities?
Try with
options:
show_name: true
type: button
PS: However those āButtonsā you are showing in PIC looks like Mushroom-chips !
Thatās so strange. The pictures I shared above with the gap are a new test card with my code as also shared above. I wonder why weāre experiencing different behaviour.
