Every time I restart HA, the cards on the Overview appears in a different order. I noticed there are some default groups, and I’ve tried using order in customize, but that doesn’t seem to do anything.
Additionally, there is a Z-Wave card, which I never specified as a group that is appearing. And all of my speakers appear, but not in a group.
How can I specify that the order of these cards is always the same? It’s pretty frustrating to have to search for what I’m looking for every reboot.
do you have a “default_view” defined?
No, I don’t. I have looked at some examples, but it’s unclear if this is what I’m looking for. What I’d like is to have a view like the current “Overview” which displays all devices that aren’t hidden and in the same order. So if I add a new zwave switch, it will appear with other similar zwave devices. Basically an “everything” page which might not be suitable for convenience, but useful for seeing every recognized device,
I’m not sure what the default ordering is based on for non-group entities. So I’m not sure that, for example, all z wave devices will by default be kind of “grouped” together. If you want that then it would likely be better to just add the entities to a group that will then get added to the “Home” page.
As far as group order, there is a “order:” directive that you can put in customization for each group (see the “group” component docs at the bottom for details). I use it to ensure that one of my groups always shows up at the top/left position.
Others have reported hit and miss success with it. But that might have to do with different platforms on which HA is displayed.
