Creating multiple entity-buttons on one card?

Configuration Frontend
1

The docs make it look like I can have multiple buttons per card, but when I try and add them I get the following error:

YAML Error: YAMLException: duplicated mapping key at line 4, column 1: type: entity-button ^

Am I doing something wrong with my code?

type: entity-button
entity: script.teac_vol_up
icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'
type: entity-button
entity: script.teac_vol_down
icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'

Needs to be a list, i think.

- type: entity-button
  entity: script.teac_vol_up
  icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'
- type: entity-button
  entity: script.teac_vol_down
  icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately with that, I get the following error:

YAML Error: TypeError: type is undefined

Works for me, showing the buttons.

  - title: Test
    cards:
      - type: entity-button
        entity: script.cover_test1_open
        icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'
      - type: entity-button
        entity: script.cover_test1_close
        icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'

But you have to do more to call a script.

BTW: You’re using LL?

Sorry, I’m not entirely sure what that means. I’ve since modified the code to actually call the script with hold_action and touch_action.

Here is a screenshot of what I’m seeing:

LL means Lovelace, and your screenshot shows me that you’re using it.

BUT, i’m not using this clicky… clicky… mode, i’m using my good old editor and edit the ui-lovelace.yaml.

Sorry, maybe someone can help?

Ah I see! My bad.

I’ll try adding it to the config file directly. Thanks again for your help.

Ok, so I’ve been into the config file, this is how it looks:

  - type: entity-button
    name: TV Volume Up
    entity: script.teac_vol_up_5
    icon: 'mdi:volume-plus'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: script.teac_vol_up
    hold_action:
      action: call-service
      service: script.teac_vol_up_5
  - type: entity-button
    name: TV Volume Down
    entity: script.teac_vol_down_5
    icon: 'mdi:volume-minus'
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: script.teac_vol_down
    hold_action:
      action: call-service
      service: script.teac_vol_down_5

So it is a list… however they still show as two, huge volume buttons, instead of being on the same card:

Then you need the Horizontal Stack Card
