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

I am having an issue where I cant get my thermostat to show completely to adjust the temperature, etc. it only shows me the actual temp but no slider.

Also, is this how the weather card is supposed to show? or is there an addon to change it to a more appealing card?

HI. Thanks for making this theme, it looks really good.

I am new to Home Assistant and have probably made a mistake somewhere as when I check my config after installing I get the following error:

"Configuration invalid

                      Package dwains_theme_configuration setup failed. Component dwains_theme Integration 'dwains_theme' not found."

When installing I extracted the contents of the zip to my /config folder so it looks like this now, is that correct:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Right, I fixed that with a system reboot but then came across the following:

“while parsing a flow mapping in “/config/dwains-theme/plugins/button-cards-templates/homepage/header/weather.yaml”, line 28, column 12 expected ‘,’ or ‘}’, but got ‘[’ in “/config/dwains-theme/plugins/button-cards-templates/homepage/header/weather.yaml”, line 28, column 32”

I edited the file to add a comma in line 28 as follows:

entity: {{ _d_t_config.global,['weather'] }}

This made the previous error message go away but then I get the following:

“invalid key: “[‘weather’]” in “/config/dwains-theme/plugins/button-cards-templates/homepage/header/weather.yaml”, line 28, column 0”

I am now a bit stuck…

Edit:
I ran this through a YAML parser online and got the following error but I am afraid that I dont know how to correct it:

"ERROR:

while constructing a mapping in “”, line 28, column 11:
entity: {{ _d_t_config.global,[‘weather’] }}
^
found unacceptable key (unhashable type: ‘dict’) in “”, line 28, column 12:
entity: {{ _d_t_config.global,[‘weather’] }}"

How is your weather entity configured in globals.yaml?

Did you add a climate entity to your room?

No the new header is way better designed, it will show everything inside your house like on lights, open covers, on devices etc.

Alright, thanks for replying!
Great work man. I love it.

Hi,

Here is my whole globals.yaml:

 # https://dwainscheeren.github.io/lovelace-dwains-theme/configuration/global.html
 
global:
  language: en
  weather: weather.met_office_whitstable # Configure a weather entity see HA docs for more info.
  # outside_temperature: sensor.dark_sky_temperature # Configure a sensor here!
  # outside_humidity: sensor.dark_sky_humidity # Configure a sensor here!
  # alarm: alarm_control_panel.alarm_system #Alarm panel entity.
  # inside_temperature: climate.living_room #Can be 'climate.' or an 'sensor.' entity.

  # favorites_homepage: 'true' #Uncomment this line if you want the house information favorites on your homepage.

Are you running lovelace_gen by a change?

Um…I dont know. How could I find out?

I installed HA from the downloadable image to a Raspberry Pi 4, I dont recall manually installing Lovelace.

Then it will be not installed, unless you installed it manual. Did you followed all the steps of the setup? Extracted the content of the dwains-lovelace-theme into your root config and not the folder inside the config folder?

I thought I had… I think the easiest thing for me to do is to start over.
I will reinstall and report back if I have any more issues.

I’m slowly migrating more of my HA assets over to Dwain’s Theme and so far things are going well. The one current exception is an issue around climate.

I want to have access to my ecobee thermostat through the UI, similar to what I have today through the HA dashboard:

This was auto-generated, but looks like this in my current HA Lovelace config:

      - type: thermostat
        entity: climate.main_floor

But adding the climate entity for my ecobee to the rooms.yaml file only yields this item:

chrome_N2l26GwNWE

Clicking on that further only yields the temperature.

Here’s the relevant chunk from my rooms.yaml:

  - name: Climate
    icon: mdi:home-thermometer
    climate: climate.main_floor

Is what I am trying to do easily possible or am going to have to resort to creating a custom card somehow?

I’m still getting used to both Dwain’s Theme and Lovelace, so please excuse my ignorance. I’ll continue to hack away, but any suggestions on a direction to attack this would be most appreciated.

I am getting somewhere! I reinstalled the theme and moved the files again and after a reboot it is working well. Excellent, thanks!

I now have a problem accessing it from my phone via Chrome and also via the HA app, I get an error relating to the weather card:

The best way I found out it fix is delete delete your app and reinstall it

Yes, that’s where I get the Thermostat Entity in the Upstairs Hallway as it is on the screenshot. but for some reason when I go into the entity it doesn’t show anything.

That’s the same issue I am having

I suspect I’ll just have to add a thermostat card to the UI.

I have some more reading and learning to do to make this happen, it should be fun.

It isn’t a problem with the app though as it happens through mobile browser (chrome) as well.

This is how my weather displays as well when I click on the card.
I’d LOVE to have the weather card open a custom weather page where we could have a more appealing card instead of just the entity, or even multiple cards.
