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

:exploding_head::exploding_head:

does this completely take over your lovelace ui or is it an actual theme that can be toggled on and off per user in profile like a normal theme? The docs make it sound like once this is installed, your entire HA UI is taken over by it?

I want to use the default lovelace theme on my PC and use this theme on my wall tablets is why i ask. thanks for your nice work on this!

That would be possible. If your current lovelace dashboard is in a yaml file, you can use that one in combination with this theme. It would require that you add it back after the installation so make a backup to be sure.

Curious if that weather page can be set to come up when you hit the weather from the theme’s home page? I’d love to set up a nice weather card instead of just having it pull up the weather entity

Hi Dwains,
for first of all, thank you for your hard works.

If possible change icon for entity in page entities (room)

example:

´´´
page_entities:
columns: 1 #optional
show_title: ‘false’ #optional
entities:
- entity: sensor.name1
icon: mdi:water-pump (*)
- entity: sensor.name1
´´´
I use input_bolean and default icon not shown.

You can use HA build in customize for this see: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/

The past couple of days I started using Home Assistant in combination with Dwains theme and I really like it. But I have a couple of questions. (About Dwains theme)

  • Is it possible to add an more_page in another more_page ?
    So if you have for instance a more page with systems, this shows buttons with different systems which are clickable and transfer you to the page for this particular system?

  • Is it possible to show a person’s badge on the homepage, but that this is not clickable? Or is it possible to hide the history for a particular person?

  • Is it al all possible to have a button (anywhere) which opens a new page?

I have searched for quite a bit, and apologies if it is an obvious question, but is it possible to set the icon color for Favourites that are turned on. So as to see easier which devices are on and which are off?

Is it possible that the popups are kinda broken at the moment? Im Not able to Open a few sensors or lights etc. and If they Open the popups are Just blank. Maybe that is caused by the new card-mod Update ? They Changed a few Things with Pop-up Handling.

ow sorry my bad, only typo mistake in configuration.yaml :smiley:

Another question. I have a notification inside my Dwains Theme for my garbage.
But when I restart home assistant, this notification is gone. And if I fire the automation for this, it doesn’t work (properly)

Can notifications inside the theme be retained?

Is it possible to have a cover group be expandable similar to a light group?

I’ve got a room that currently has 3 blinds but will have 9 when I’m finished installing them. I’d like to be able to control them as a group, or control them individually as I do lights.

I noticed the documentation says “cover.hallway or group.hallway_covers” however cover groups don’t give an entity starting with group.

  - platform: group
    name: side_window_blinds
    entities:
     - cover.side_door_blind
     - cover.side_window_blind_1
     - cover.side_window_blind_2

gives me an entity cover.side_window_blinds

If I use this entity, I can control all blinds in the group, but it doesn’t give me individual control like a light group would. I’ve also noticed if I set my blinds to 50%, the group reports closed and the slider bar shows 0%.

Since updating to 1.4.1 I get this error on mobile every 2nd or 3rd time I open the app

Close and open the app 5 or 6 times and the theme loads again. Doesn’t happen on my pc, or my tablet, but having this issue on 3 separate phones.

Anyone that can help me with the following 2 topics?

  1. For the vacuum entity inside a room with advanced view without live map( camera) it automatically uses the vacuum card from HACS, but instead I would prefer to use the (Xiaomi) vacuum card from HACS. Anyone knows how to switch this?
  2. My home screen looks like the following:

    But I would like to have the top part (With persons home state etc…) as below
    image

Anyone can help me with this?

Cheers!

I think you just swap the entities over to (Xiaomi)

entity: vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum
      map_image: '/local/custom_lovelace/xiaomi_vacuum_map_card/map.png'
      calibration_points:
        - vacuum:
            x: 25500
            y: 25500
          map:
            x: 466
            y: 1889
        - vacuum:
            x: 26500
            y: 26500
          map:
            x: 730
            y: 1625
        - vacuum:
            x: 25500
            y: 26500
          map:
            x: 466
            y: 1625

In your room config

How can I use more than one switch as a device in a room? I group them in the groups.yaml, but If I use them as device:group.switches… I only get info about there state, can not control them. I don’t want to use them as lights, because they don’t control lights.

When clicking on device.

Figured it out, double click works.

  1. you could do this by using a rooms addon
  2. that´s the old header.
    since @dwains updated the theme to be flexible (to fit every sceeensize) this one is gone. if you want to add a picture instead of the “RO” or “MA” check the persons.yaml

Cheers man.
Clear explanation, appreciate it!

Do you know if it is somehow possible to get this old header back again? The pictures are not my main reason, moreover I like the formatting on a phone, as it covers the full width of the screen where as the new header aligns everything on the left side + in the old view the icons were larger.

Looking forward to hear from you, and anyhow. Thanks for the explanation.

Cheers.

you could only use the old header with an old version of the theme that won´t work on the newest HA version, so i wouldn´t do it. as far as i know (haven´t been on discord that much for the last few weeks) @dwains doesn´t have any plans to change the header.

simple answer: no, you can´t get the old header
