Hello,
I just want to share my custom state card I’m using for scenes / scripts:
Instead of having a new line for each script this state card allows you to summarize your scripts like this:
In addition to that it is possible to show if a scene/script is active by a binary sensor. In example you can define a mqtt sensor which is updated if you fire your script and the state card will show the current state. In my example I used this configuration:
group.livingroom_harmony:
friendly_name: Harmony
icon: mdi:television
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-custom_scene
config:
entities:
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_entertain
friendly_name: TV
state: binary_sensor.harmony_entertain
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_ps4
friendly_name: PS4
state: binary_sensor.harmony_ps4
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_firetv
friendly_name: FireTV
state: binary_sensor.harmony_firetv
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_music
friendly_name: Music
state: binary_sensor.harmony_music
It is very simple, but maybe it is a help to some of you

@Eddie1974 Can you post your config files and describe what you would expect? In this example I use it for harmony and use the sensor the platform provides:
group.livingroom_harmony:
friendly_name: Harmony
icon: mdi:television
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-custom_scene
config:
entities:
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_entertain
friendly_name: TV
state: binary_sensor.harmony_entertain
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_ps4
friendly_name: PS4
state: binary_sensor.harmony_ps4
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_firetv
friendly_name: FireTV
state: binary_sensor.harmony_firetv
- entity: script.remote_livingroom_harmony_music
friendly_name: Music
state: binary_sensor.harmony_music
harmony_entertain:
value_template: >-
{%- if states.remote.livingroom_harmony.attributes.current_activity == 'Entertain' -%}
True
{%- else -%}
False
{%- endif %}
harmony_firetv:
value_template: >-
{%- if states.remote.livingroom_harmony.attributes.current_activity == 'Fire TV' -%}
True
{%- else -%}
False
{%- endif %}
harmony_ps4:
value_template: >-
{%- if states.remote.livingroom_harmony.attributes.current_activity == 'PS4' -%}
True
{%- else -%}
False
{%- endif %}
harmony_music:
value_template: >-
{%- if states.remote.livingroom_harmony.attributes.current_activity == 'Music' -%}
True
{%- else -%}
False
{%- endif %}
If you have i.e. a script you need to create your own mqtt sensor - This example is described on my GitHub project documentation.

I use it for scenes, got all the script working but it’s not showing up on the front end for some reason.

Hi, I would like to use this custom card to show my 4 scenes for my 3 speed fan (sonoff 4 ch mqtt), so to have all the commands in one line and having also the active command highlighted.
so I have 2 questions about it:
I need to create binary sensors and scripts to switch the scenes on? (I use the scenes to turn on only one mqtt switch at time)
how to do it with the scene that just turns off the fan?
Sorry - I know it’s not the best naming. It only support scripts.
Yes, it’s designed to use it with scripts
Use a script
In addition to that my state card needs to be fixed for 0.70 I guess. I will do the next days and keep you updated ok?

Thanks for your reply.
So I create and linked the scripts to the already present mqtt switches. Now the group of switches is just looking as any other group of 4 scripts. It is because the fixes needed for 0.70 or I’m still missing something?
Can you post the configuration and a current screenshot? You should definitely see another view than the standard group.

that’s my configuration
in configuration.yaml:
frontend:
themes: !include_dir_merge_named temi/
javascript_version: latest
extra_html_url:
- /local/custom_ui/state-card-custom_scenes.html
- /local/custom_ui/floorplan/ha-floorplan.html
in customize.yaml:
group.ventilatore:
friendly_name: Ventilatore
icon: mdi:fan
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-custom_scene
config:
entities:
- entity: script.vent_vel1
friendly_name: "1"
state: switch.vent1
- entity: script.vent_vel2
friendly_name: "2"
state: switch.vent2
- entity: script.vent_vel3
friendly_name: "3"
state: switch.vent3
- entity: script.vent_off
friendly_name: "Off"
state: off
in groups.yaml:
Ventilatore:
- script.vent1
- script.vent2
- script.vent3
- script.vent_off
the scripts linked turn on and off the mqtt switches (1on-2off-3off, 1off-2on-3-off, 1off-2off-3on, 1off-2off-3off)
and the screenshot

I think your indentation is not correct - Try it like:
group.doorlock_maindoor:
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-custom_scene
config:
entities:
- entity: script.doorlock_maindoor_open
friendly_name: Öffnen
state: binary_sensor.dummy_always_on
- entity: script.doorlock_maindoor_lock
friendly_name: Verriegeln
state: binary_sensor.dummy_always_on
- entity: script.doorlock_maindoor_unlock
friendly_name: Entriegeln
state: binary_sensor.dummy_always_on

I checked twice and it’s a mistake I made when pasting into the textbox for posting, but actually the indentation
entities:
- entity:
is correct. otherwise I think HA would give some errors and get stuck.
