Context-aware group names?

Mars · November 29, 2017, 11:26pm

Hi Guys,

I’ve just started with Home Assistant, my second day of work.

Do I find this to not be unavailable or just cant find information how to configure it?

What I have is

“Default View” which gives overview off all my Groups.
“4 Master groups” which nest the rest of the Groups in logical arrangements

The PROBLEM:
I have a group called “Entrance” and nested group card “Sensors” inside:

Now I also list the “Sensors” nested group under the “Default View” group.
As I will have different “Sensors” groups for different areas, I need to provide context-aware friendly_name such as “Entrance Sensors” in this scenario and not just the default “Sensors”:

I tried Andrey CustomUI but didn’t seamed possible or documented.

Can you please advise if this can be done?

I think I found my error… and fixed it. Working as expected.
My config below:

configuration.yaml

> homeassistant:
>   #Custom UI customization - context-aware attributes
>   customize_glob:
>     "*.*":
>       custom_ui_state-card: state-card-custom-ui
>     group.entrance_sensors:
>       friendly_name: "Entrance Sensors"
>       icon: mdi:door     
>       group:
>         group.entrance:
>           friendly_name: "Door Sensors"
