Hello, they finally appear after many hassio reboot and empty cache. Hope you will solve it soon.
Thanks tried that. Have rebooted and emptied cache over 20 times, tried different os and web browsers - same results. So its got to be my configuration on hassio. I can get the tiles to move to different rows or columns but no more than 3 icons are visible at a time. I am trying to replicate your setup.
I will be back home tomorrow in the evening, will post my config for you.
Thanks to eddi89 over on GitHub, he’s helped explain how to create a smaller height tile and how to have lowercase text.
First thing to note is that the minimum tile size is 50x50px, and this is why I was struggling to make a smaller tile in my earlier posts. To get around this you use style_template:
Lowercase text: style_template: "return 'text-transform: none;';"
Smaller tile height: style_template: "return 'min-height: 25px;';"
Combined: style_template: "return 'text-transform: none; min-height: 25px;';"
All together this is how my tiles now look, with the code for this below. Hope it helps others!

Can we use this for just informational entities (where there is no action involved)? I have a bunch of entities for the stock market futures.
Instead of taking up all the space, I was wondering if I can display them as tiles with color depending on whether the change is positive of not.

Useful update (thanks again eddi89).
My screenshot in the previous post has text either next to the icon or below, depending on text length.
To ensure text is below the icons, use label_sec:

awesome, this def helped me- thanks for sharing!
did label_sec work (i cant seem to get the text under the icon)
Yep, here is my code (just need to make sure tile size is large enough)
- entity: group.lounge_lights
label_sec: Lounge
icon: mdi:ceiling-light
column: 1
row: 1
row_span: 2

Just updated so I can use the label_sec and now having the same overlapping rubbish you were getting, guess we take it that row_span: 1 is broken and have to use the style_template: “return ‘min-height: XXpx;’;” bodge to fix it?
Yeah seems like it - by default the smallest tile size is 50x50 so have to use style_template to override it now.

Yay, finally got the device tracker I was really after…
Images go colour when home, fades to grey when not. Each person has code set up as below…
- entity: device_tracker.dadsn5x
row_span: 2
column_span: 1
style_template: "return 'background-image: url(\"/local/dad/' + state + '.png\");'"
…and their own named folder in www with a colour image called ‘home.png’ and a grey one called ‘not_home.png’.

hmm, not sure, the thing is i had that, and took it out to see if it caused the issue.
Seems at least intermittent use of the min-height is not advisable …?
Cheers, can’t believe how simple it ended up being thanks to the continuous updates by @eddi89.
Just got tons of code from all the far more complicated failed attempts to delete now, did finally learn how to use input_booleans even if I didn’t need them in the end 
You’ve set the default row height to less than 50 and then have all the other entities set to row_span: 1 so, like I said, you’ve got the same issue I had, add another 5px to the row height and they should sort themselves out.
The first one has min-height set but then just below says use row_span: 1, so it has and got the same issue the others have.
Ok thanks ! Will do.
Could I also take out the row_span? Not useful anyway since i don’t use any other span…?
taken out _span, changed to 50px. Only main button should be half size… doesnt work yet, though better. Any hints?

finally made it…
- set standard tile_height to the minimum you need in the main grid (and when that is smaller than the 50px, take care of the following for the entities):
- for each row you want to be 1 row height (the minimum defined above): use the
min-height: xxpx; - for each row you want to be higher use the
row_span:And… (important) set the row: [number] accordingly, that is for a row_span: 2, skip 1 row extra…
Hadn’t realized the latter. so all got compressed.
Up
and running now, thanks!
Do you have your code on github?
