Follow the principles in my post above and you can duplicate it exactly.
Personally, that was just an experiment to see if I could do it. Tiles still works perfectly and Lovelace is a work in progress so I’m waiting till it’s more mature before doing anything much else.
Unfortunately it can’t be duplicated “exactly” if you’re not using pictures. Hopefully Lovelace adds a way to make tiles that can change in size and colors.
Been discussing with @vladosam, who helped me turn the paradigm in my templates.
I am trying to get my Tiles to follow the state of my device_tracker Life360 and have it show images depending on the zones it is in. The thing is these Life360 zones are capitalized combinations of words without _ as in ‘Multiple Words’ while my images cant be like that and need to be m_multiple_words.png.
this background-image: url(\"/local/tiles/family/m_' + state + '.png\")';
works beautifully for m_home and m_not_home, so I know its down to the filter to get it right.
I don’t mind if it had to be like m_multiplewords.png and not use the underscore, but even then the filter needs to be something like state|lower|replace(" ", "").
What could I change and try, please have a look with me?
answering myself here, because I’ve finally found a way, and it might be of use to anyone on this thread, never read a real answer to it. If it is too obvious, sorry.
this works fine now!
style_template: >
if (state === 'home' || state === 'not_home') return 'background-image: url(\"/local/tiles/family/m_' + state + '.png\")';
return 'background-color: #643aac;background-image: url(\"/local/tiles/family/m_' + 'zoning' + '.png\")';
@vladosam please see this, it makes the other templates we’re checking somewhat easier too!
I was not liking the results using other cards to simulate tiles, so I started to migrate tiles to lovelace. I never created lovelace cards so I’m having some difficulties but I’m liking the initial results.
Yes, I just sent github a version that is working for me. In readme there are instructions about how to configure using your current tiles settings, test to check if it works for you. (Sorry my bad english).
