hello,
I am new to Home Assistant and tried Dwains Dashboard. I like the dashboard but there are some things i would like to change.
I don’t want to use a single ligt or a group in a room. How can I add more than one light to a room?
It only shows the latest item of my entry in the room page.
have you restarted HA
Is this hoe it should behave? Or am i missing something?
if you use groups for each area/room, dwains dash will auto list them. (living room page) or you can add entities separately like my kitchen spots (kitchen page)
this is my configuration.yaml. i changed the switches to lights and grouped them together.
this is my rooms.yaml.
the entity in the configuration section is listed as group, in dwains dashboard it is listed as one single light. but when i toggle the ligt all 4 lights are going on / off.
Yes, I rebooted
Both my virtual test environment as my NUC have rebooted multiple times
instead of light: light.xxx you must make group.xxxxx
like this:
- name: Downstairs
icon: mdi:sofa
light: group.lights_downstairs
temperature: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_266dd301_temperature
climate: climate.heater_dining_room
humidity: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_266dd301_humidity
motion: binary_sensor.motion_sensor_158d000120a1bd
door: group.doors_dining_room
window: group.windows_downstairs
pressure: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_266dd301_pressure
safety: binary_sensor.smoke_sensor_158d000153cceb
media_player: group.multimedia
...
my light group (light platform) looks like:
light:
- platform: group
name: Group Downstairs
entities:
- light.chill_out_corner
- light.kitchen
- light.tv_ambilight
- light.spots_living_room
- light.dining_room
- light.gateway_light_7c49eb1c2e69
- light.hue_living_color
- light.led_strip_living_room
- light.spots_entrance
- light.led_strip_living_room
- light.led_glashouse
- light.wled_glashouse
- light.wooden_lamp_living_room
- light.lamps_dining_room_wall
- light.dressing
In your case it is normal because you bundle all your lights under ONE light. you must make a “normal” group and put your lights there like this:
name: Lights Downstairs
entities:
- light.chill_out_corner
- light.hue_living_color
- light.wooden_lamp_living_room
- light.dining_room
- light.gateway_light_7c49eb1c2e69
- light.dressing
# - light.candles
- light.tv_ambilight
- light.led_strip_living_room
- light.dining_room_wall
- light.living_room
- light.led_glashouse
- light.wled_glashouse
- light.kitchen
it is a normal behaviour that Dwain’s Dashboard won’t show all lights in your light group as it is bundled in one single light

It took a while, now it appears 
thank you for your reply. Preformatted textI know what you mean but i don’t know how to fix this.
changing the entity ID from light.xxx to group.xxx is not working because the entity ID with group.xx doesn’t exist.
configuration.yaml
light:
- platform: group
name: Lichter Küche
entities:
- light.licht_kuche
- light.licht_kuchenzeile
/config/dwains-dashboard/configs/rooms.yaml
- name: Küche
icon: mdi:countertop
light: group.lichter_kuche #-> this is not working
u must create a group with those lights inside either u use your configuration.yaml and then something like:
group:
lights_downstairs:
name: Lights Downstairs
entities:
- light.chill_out_corner
- light.hue_living_color
- light.wooden_lamp_living_room
- light.dining_room
- light.gateway_light_7c49eb1c2e69
- light.dressing
# - light.candles
- light.tv_ambilight
- light.led_strip_living_room
- light.dining_room_wall
- light.living_room
- light.led_glashouse
- light.wled_glashouse
- light.kitchen
reload groups in home assistant and you will find an entity called group.lights_downstairs and THIS you put in the light: xxx section in the room config

I present to you all, the new official logo for Dwains Dashboard 
We are getting somewhere. The logo is officially added to Home Assistant Brands so soon you will see it all in the Integrations part of HA.
Also Dwains Dashboard is on its way to become an HACS default integration (Adds new integration [dwainscheeren/dwains-lovelace-dashboard] by dwainscheeren · Pull Request #1140 · hacs/default · GitHub)

You need to create customize.yaml file in your Home Assistant root folder (near configuration.yaml) and include it in the configuration.yaml file as it is described in the docs here:
not sure if that is the same customize.yaml file like for the dasboard?
my dshboard customize.yaml looks like this:
input_boolean.security:
dwains_dashboard_popup: "dwains-dashboard/addons/popups/input_select.foscam_preset_points.yaml"
input_number.irrigation_time:
dwains_dashboard_popup: "dwains-dashboard/addons/popups/input_number.irrigation_time.yaml"
vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner_upstairs:
dwains_dashboard_popup: "dwains-dashboard/addons/popups/xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner_upstairs.yaml"
climate.rose:
dwains_dashboard_popup: "dwains-dashboard/addons/popups/climate/popup.yaml"
dwains_dashboard_popup_data:
some_data: 'This is some data parsed.'
some_other_data: 'and some other data.'
so u mean that the customize.yaml is the same homeassistant uses?
I completely forgot that these settings are there since I’m using DD for long time.
I was looking for these settings in DD → More → Theme Settings. Can you make a link to Integrations → Dwains Dashboard settings from DD? Or write a note that the dashboard settings are in the Integrations? I hope you can understand me
