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

reg · January 20, 2021, 9:07pm

Hi, this dashboard is really great, and I want to try. But I didn’t found a clear statement regarding the existing configuration. Therefore my question. If I install the Dwains Dashboard, are all my individuals developed dashboards still available? How to strap a try, but w/o any risk for given configs. Thx in advance.

First of all…
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP and automate the backups

Secondly, I can speak from my experience… YES… you can install it and the other dashboards will be untouched

Thirdly, depending on the user profile settings, your other dashboards may have a theme forced

Thx a lot for your quick response. Of course backup as always, that’s a basic.

Great theme, just installed it and trying to get my head around it, but so far, its winning the thumbs up from the wife, but a couple of issues:

Is it possible to add badges, like on Standard Lovelace, looking to add a couple of badges to know whether a couple of modes are active, don’t need a favourite for them.
i.e. in the header:
Cameras are not appearing anywhere, I’ve got them listed in the config, but doesn’t appear to show in the top navigation bar, yaml below:

cameras:
  entities:
    - camera.aarlo_backdoor
    - camera.aarlo_front_door
    - camera.aarlo_garage
    - camera.aarlo_garden

Hoping someone can help, thanks!

1 - I dont know how to but I know the theme author said you can anything anywhere … so maybe someone will chime in

2 - in your cameras.yaml file
Does it have the line 2 commented out or set?

cameras:
  #main_menu: "false" #If you want to hide the cameras in the main nav then enable this line
  #live_view: "false" #If you want to disable live view then enable this line
  entities:
    - camera.blueiris_drivewayhd
    - camera.blueiris_frontdoorhd
    - camera.blueiris_backgardenhd
    - camera.blueiris_frenchdoorshd

Just installed this great looking dashboard and the only strange thing I had that all config files in dwains-dashboard/configs where is dos format (CR/LF) and had to convert them with dos2unix to edit them with vi.

As many of you maybe have read on the HA website (https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/01/22/security-disclosure/) or on my Discord, my dashboard was also one of the custom components that had some security problems.

I patched the bug last week in version 2.0.1. So for everyone who is using my dashboard please upgrade to 2.0.1.

I couldn’t go further into this earlier and I also couldn’t tell at first why I release 2.0.1. and what’s changed in 2.0.1 to give people some time to upgrade in the mean time.

How can I uninstall and fully remove this theme?

dwains · January 23, 2021, 9:45pm

Remove the folder dwains_dashboard in your custom_compontents folder. May I ask why you want to remove it? Don’t like it?

seanmccabe · January 23, 2021, 10:05pm

they were commented out.
Don’t know why but a couple of hours later the page appeared.

Now trying to get rid of the page, as the camera setup doesnt work with the default card.

seanmccabe · January 23, 2021, 10:07pm

@dwains are you able to help me with point 1?
I’ve looked around on your site and github, but nothing about making badges for here.
Thanks!

dwains · January 24, 2021, 9:19am

That isn’t currently possible. To add custom badges there.

MrEd · January 24, 2021, 3:00pm

I’m back to standard dashboard for all infos and change to HomeKit to control via phone.

reg · January 24, 2021, 4:16pm

Hello all, one question. After the update to 2.0.1, I can no longer access the dashboard because the link in the left navigation is missing. Of course I did everything as described (copy custom components, restart ha, clear browser cache … ), but the link does not appear. I also reinstalled the integration, but no improvement. Where can I start the investigation where the failure is. Any idea?
core-2021.1.5
supervisor-2021.01.7
Home Assistant OS 5.10
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Seems like a typo or wrong codeblock in your dwains-dashboard/configs/rooms.yaml. Can you post that here ?

reg · January 24, 2021, 7:43pm

thx for you your quick response. Let me try, if I replace the current file with the original rooms.yaml…

reg · January 24, 2021, 8:11pm

I reinstalled the integration. after replacing the room.yaml, i can access dwains dashboard again. OK. But is it really the case, that an failure in one of the configuration files affects the entire dashboard? There was only a minor mistake in there because I tried to assign different devices to a room - very sensitive… Anyway, compliments for the great dashboard. Great work! and thank you for the support.

Rijswijker · January 26, 2021, 7:45pm

Is it possible to have an entity displays a different name in the dashboard, than the entity itself has?

For example, I have named each group in my distribution board as Gr. 1, Gr. 2 etc, but I want to have two entities in the kitchen tab displayed as “Oven” and “Vaatwasser”

I have made several attempts without success.
