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?
Nope, anything in particular you wanted to see?
Mostly for inspiration, and im lazy, cut and paste of awesome peoples code is always easier…
That’s how I get started with most of mine 
I can’t do blank sheet coding but am quite adept at tweaking and repurposing what others have done.

new version of Tiles makes default minimum smaller (could take out the need for min-height: xxpx;if that new default is small enough in your setup)
Also, text below icon (label_sec) now changes color accordingly. Nice!
All options listed now on : https://github.com/c727/home-assistant-tiles

Ok, I will take a look at this.
I tried the min-height: xxpx but it didn’t make any difference on my Ubuntu Phone. On the desktop, the tiles have looked right all the time.
sure, only use if you need it. @eddi89 made the default smaller, and maybe fit the bill just like that.
My setup still uses a small button for on/off all buttons below. Might take it up 5 px (now 25) and another bit of code can be taken out
Oh yes I see what you mean, a great update by eddi89, especially with explaining the options too.
