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

The documentation ofter refers to hello-room example yaml pages for the add-ons, but I’m not able to find them? Is it me? :slight_smile:

And problem with icons what lights, media player , device… is on, too small
Any help

Hi Dwain,

A message from a fellow Dutchman.

I discovered your dashboard just recently and have been implementing it for my environment last week.
first of all, this is the best dashboard I’ve seen so far for HA, but I have a couple of question or maybe they are feature request:-)

See my main dashboard picture below

  • First a dumb question, how do I get the menu bar at the bottom like on your and others screenshots?
  • As you can see on my screenshot some text in the global information is not completely shown (like Ontgren… and Apparat…) Is it possible to solve this?
  • I like to add more information in the global information, like current power consumption and production(solar) etc…
  • Is it possible to show the power consumption of a lamp or device (if that info is available)?
  • If I specify “more_entiries” I only see a blank bar per entity (see second screenshot)

That’s it for now.

Again thanks for creating this nice dashboard, my comments are no complaints whatsoever:-)

Hi @sven.stoffels - you should be able to do this using custom-button-card, which DD loads be default. If you check the docs, you’ll see it has both a lock option which prevents accidental presses, and also a confirmation option which post an ‘Are you sure?’ type message that can be cancelled if you didn’t really mean to press it.

Dear Dwain,
thank you very much for your impressive work. I started to work with HA some weeks ago (come from fhem) and found your dashboard.
My first question is how I can define to show the rooms at at the bottom of the page.

Do you have any advice for me?
Thx. Marc

Do you got Custom Header installed by change? Please remove/uninstall it. Also for other people using Custom Header in combination with Dwains Dashboard it causes problems.

I got Dwain’s Dashboard up and running. Even created a add-on page for a Scheduler and Irrigation. Replaced the current included camera page with a custom one because it didn’t work with AARLO. I only found 3 things that I haven’t been able to work out.

  1. From the Youtube demo I thought on the Thermostat page it would show Trending information for inside Temperature but only shows outside. I have set the value inside_temperature in the global.yaml.

  2. Long presses on a button don’t always work properly. As an example on a light I want it to bring up the pop-up so I can set brightness or colour. I am using an iPhone and I do get the shaded circle to appear but it doesn’t bring up the pop-up.

  3. There are times when the Dashboard is difficult to see the rooms or devices. It’s usually the first time on a new device. Wondering if it takes time for the Theme to load?

BTW: This is a great Dashboard and I am using it as my new default. Family members only see this now.

Thanks Neil

Wow, fast response :slight_smile:
Yes, you’re right. I have custom header installed. Try to figure out how to remove it.

If you used HACS to install it originally, you can use HACS to Uninstall it too :wink:

Select the component in HACS, click the overflow menu ( 3 dots) then scroll down to Uninstall:

I use to have custom header, but remove it about a month ago, i only have Dwains dashboard couple of days, but still have problem with icons on upper section
Dwains dashboard is probably the best dashboard i have seen, and most user friendly
Amazing work Dwain

Hi all,

How would I be able to add a more_page add-on to the bottom menu bar? I believed the flag “main_menu” in the more_page.yaml was for this, but it unfortunately does not appear (even after multiple Lovelace reloads). What’s is the magic trick? :slight_smile:

main_menu: 'true' must work. Note true will not work 'true' will work.

That was the clue!! I was using the boolean value indeed.

Now it works, great, thanks for all the work you’ve put in this :smiley:

It would be nice to have
Rooms—Devices—Actions
So in actions we could put : automatization, scenes,scripts,etc.

What would be the best place to get some more information and understand the custom “dwains” cards and item classes?

Heyy,
Maybe a little feautre request ?
That you can select which states you need for the Alarm Panel ?
As for now I just changed “\custom_components\dwains_dashboard\lovelace\views\main\more_page\alarm.yaml” and removed the 2 not needed states. (“arm_home”, “arm_night”)

hello guys, i am looking for a way to add my lovelace card to the house information tab but can’t get it to work. it uses the hacs addon ‘custom:button-card’ but i can’t add it to your dashboard…

You can do this in the house_information.yaml on my side i have a similar setup:

house_information:
   favorites:
     - entity: sensor.papiertonne_date
       name: Papiertonne
       icon_on: mdi:delete
       icon_off: mdi:delete-outline
     - entity: sensor.restmuell_date
       name: 'Restmüll'
       icon_on: mdi:delete
       icon_off: mdi:delete-outline
