Thanks for reminding me to check the ‘states’ page. In my previous comment I even posted that it wasn’t showing up on that page. I should have realized that it had something to do with loading in the switch config file, since I’m using a split configuration.
This is literally what I posted before:
- platform: template
switches:
tv_template:
friendly_name: TV power switch
value_template: "{{ is_state('media_player.tv', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: media_player.turn_on
data:
entity_id: media_player.tv
turn_off:
service: media_player.turn_off
data:
entity_id: media_player.tv
This configuration is located in config/switches/tv.yaml and in my configuration.yaml I have the following:
switch: !include_dir_merge_named config/switches
So far, so good or at least I think it is.
Well, turns out it wasn’t ‘so far, so good’. I’m was using !include_dir_merge_named (as you can see in there), but the file (config/switches/tv.yaml) that I’m including has a list, so instead of using that, I actually should have used !include_dir_merge_list.
I just did and it finally showed up :).

Newbie question: how are colours defined? e.g. text_color: "#FFF"
I’m used to seeing three hexadecimal 0-255 values for red, green and blue components, e.g. #FF0080 .

Sorry I probably wasn’t clear. I’m familiar with the usual RGB hex formal but the text colour in this panel is only defined using three hex digits, not the usual 6:
text_color: "#FFF"What gives?
/edit, never mind. I’m guessing they are just place holders in the config not actual values.
Yes i have this too. I really would like to get rid of it.

I raised an issue on GitHub regarding the pop-up, and the fix is to use input_text for the domain. Using my previous example above, I changed script.remote_control to input_text.remote_control as seen below.
Another update and thanks to c727 for the tip is that groups now work as a tile, so a template switch isn’t required to control groups anymore.
homeassistant:
customize:
input_text.remote_control:
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-tiles
config:
columns: 7
row_height: 75px
column_width: 62px
gap: 15px
color: '#555B65'
color_on: '#F0C209'
color_off: '#555B65'
entities:
#Lights
- entity: group.study_lamps
label: Study
icon: mdi:school
column: 1
row: 1
input_text:
remote_control:
name: remote_control
group:
remote_control:
name: Control Panel
entities:
- input_text.remote_control
study_lamps:
name: Study Lamps
entities:
- light.study_desk_lamp
- switch.tplink_sw4
b.t.w. just in case anyone else finds this useful, to update to the latest version of tiles:
cd to your originally cloned tile directory$ cd /home/pi/home-assistant-tiles/
$ git fetch$ sudo cp www/custom_ui/state-card-tiles* /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/www/custom_ui/Check permissions are still valid (i.e. owned by homeassistant)
pi@hassbian:~/home-assistant-tiles $ ls -al /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/www/custom_ui/
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 3 homeassistant homeassistant 4096 Mar 6 18:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 homeassistant homeassistant 4096 Mar 2 15:56 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant homeassistant 9231 Mar 8 13:08 state-card-tiles.html
That’s it - no need to restart Home Assistant.

Does anyone know how to have a flatter tile as shown in the example @simbesh gave (the room tile)?
From what I can see, tile sizes are set within “config:”, but this size then applies to all tiles within that group.
config:
columns: 3
row_height: 75px
column_width: 75px
gap: 15px
None of the customisation keys shown here seem to have the option to change tile size: https://github.com/c727/home-assistant-tiles

edit the problem with my code below is due to a typo, it should be row_span not row-span
I’ve tried row_span but something went wrong… The row spans and row numbers look like they should work but there must be something I’m missing? (I’m trying to make kitchen with a bulb a half height strip)
homeassistant:
customize:
input_text.lights:
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-tiles
config:
columns: 3
# row_height: 75px
row_height: 35px
# column_width: 75px
gap: 15px

color_on: '#F0C209'
color_off: '#555B65'

#Lights

row-span: 2

row: 6

Any way to hide a tile according to state?
I tried adding…
templates:
hidden: "return (state === 'off' );"
to the tile code itself and also the entity’s own customize entry but no joy, no errors, button still there regardless

It was a good suggestion, but unfortunately it didn’t help. I did spot I was missing a row-span: 2 on group.hall_lights but still the same issue.
Just to check, did you mean row-span: 1 on group.kitchen_lights_all? If not I also tried setting exiting row_span: 2 to 1.
I did yes, that’s all I have different for my half height told. Have you tried removing the big gap by making it row 2 to see what happens?
To get rid of this, just clear your browser cache (on the iPhone - settings | safari | clear history and website data)

A typo got the better of me - I was using row-span instead of row_span! doh!

simbesh:
turns out using group.xxxx doesnt work (must be a limitation where only switch.turn_on/light.turn_on are called, whereas groups need homeassistant.turn_on)
had to make a switch template and use that for the master “room” switch
Hi @simbesh
have read this thread for 3 times now, but just cant find the code to your Master group, and the Room switch you’re showing here.
Please would you care to share ?
Thanks,
I have this same problem. I cannot get row 2 and row 3, just row 1 appears. I have tried adding row_span, deleting cache, resetting the browser, creating a panel, nothing has worked.
The scripts for each of the button works in the script section when I press activate.
I have worked on this for 2 weeks with no solution. My install is latest hass.io and custom ui updated as well.
Here is my config:input_text.tiles_harmony_remote:#555B65 ’#D5D619 ’#BBBEC2 ’

No need to use a room template switch, just use a group. See my code example above. Custom UI: Tiles
The group would have all the entities required for a master switch, and other tiles would have those entities individually.

Sorry my fault, my code that you used had a typo, it should be row_span.
Also code pasting tip, use three back ticks above and below your code to properly format it in the post.
Sure, Thx. Know and use that;-) just liked the setup very much and would have hoped for a code-share…

Hello, they finally appear after many hassio reboot and empty cache. Hope you will solve it soon.
