Collapsable-cards

Configuration Frontend
1

I am using the Collapsable-card config to clean up multiple lights in my rooms.
I was using the hue like card for the lights to rename etc.
I have found that when i use the code under the collapsable card it doesn’t change the title and icons.

type: custom:collapsable-cards
title: Office
cards:
  - type: custom:hue-like-light-card
    entities:
      - entity: light.bedroom_light
        title: Ceiling Light
        Icon: null
    show_header_toggle: true


type: custom:hue-like-light-card
entity: light.bedroom_light
title: Ceiling Light
icon: mdi:lightbulb

it says custom: in your YAML, so it is a custom third party card.
You need to find the GitHub page for that card and then post the issue there or if the author of the card have made a thread on the forum, then find that particular thread and reply to that.

The GitHub repo does not have an issues or wiki section - and there is no thread on the forum.

The card is broken, e. g.

I tried to PM @rossmcmillan92 here but never got a reply.

There is no active fork.

Dead. Right?

Yes. Suggest you migrate to lovelace-expander-card (MelleD fork) which is active and deals with the issue. The core issue is that some history card does not deal with zero width (which a card with display: none has) so the workaround required is that the custom card uses home assistant conditional card which adds/removes elements from DOM rather than just hiding them.

I had a look at that card once some while ago. Not sure if it is a pretty close to “drop-in replacement” or needs a lot of migration work.

First thought is if it can be

  • a) configured to only expand per default for desktop screens only (or never or always)
  • b) styled like collapsable-card can (even natively) as I mainly use collapsable cards for main/outer cards like

Up to you I guess. You can put in FR on the maintained expander-card. If the FR are included then that would be a good outcome for the community. For me I did not use those features of collapsable card so it was an easy migration.
