DD - Automatic area-based dashboard for desktop, tablet and mobile - V3.7.0

You can add a group in DD by clicking in DD the area you want to add it, enabling edit mod for the area and selecting “add a card”. Then, you select the lovelace card you want, like entity card, or scroll down to the bottom where you can write your own yalm code.

I want to add the entity group to the favorites bar not a card

Just bumping this question

Just bumping this question also.

The best way to do this is to add one of your input_boolean to an area, add it to favorites and create a pop-up that will do what you want. After you add the input_boolean to favorites you can hide it if you want.

I would say the same, make a ‘fake’ entity. Edit that lovelace card, add entity to favorites, then you got your custom card in favorites. In future I will make an option to make custom cards in favorites.

They need to be binary_sensor and then as motion.

Thanks. How do I change them to binary?

I would template them Template - Home Assistant

HA noob here. Love the look and easy customization of Dwains Dashboard.
Can you have a ‘landing’ or ‘home’ page for my wall tablet that has some info that I always want to see (weather radar/calendar/specific camera feed and a few other bits and pieces) rather than a specific area? Still keeping area shortcuts etc on the left.
Would also be great if dwains would automatically default back to that ‘home’ screen after a certain time elapsed of no activity on the dashboard. Is this possible.

That is currently not possible and I don’t think it ever will, because it will break the design flow of the dashboard. But you can make a work-around. Make an empty area, set that area as the first area so DD loads by default this area. Inside this area you can add all custom cards you want.

Hello all, can someone here help me rewrite this yaml to where it works with dwains dashboard when selecting “manual”. I don’t feel like I understand enough about yaml and a copy paste (from the default “overview” dashboard isn’t working sadly); Essentially, I just want this to be a page of it’s own within Dwains Dashboard. Thank you all for any help you can provide to this newbie. Thank you @dwains for everything you have built here!!

Maybe it’s not doable? If Dwains only supports one type card per page??? Just a thought. (My card would contain an alarm panel, 2 entities cards, and a horizontal stack)

    type: sidebar
    cards:
      - type: entities
        entities:
          - entity: binary_sensor.back_door_contact_sensor

          - entity: binary_sensor.garage_entry_door_contact_sensor
        title: Door Sensors
        state_color: true
        view_layout:
          position: sidebar
      - type: alarm-panel
        states:
          - arm_home
          - arm_away

I love this on my desktop. Anyone got it working in HA app?

It just works in the HA app.

Well, not for me unfortunately:

Must be smth in my setup

You must clear the android app cache.
Android users: you need to clear app data (not just cache) then log in again to get DD working in the HA app

Maybe something like

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: entities
  entities:
      - entity: binary_sensor.back_door_contact_sensor
      - entity: binary_sensor.front_door_contact_sensor

  state_color: true
  view_layout:
      position: sidebar
  - type: alarm-panel

I havent tried delete data indeed, will try

Thank you for this @dwains. Below is the error received when attempting to use it by copy-paste. This was what I was running into last night, just about anything I tried wasn’t working.

You must fix the indentation
