Default tab behaviour on any tab

Don’t we get that already? On a default-style tab all entities are shown, and those not in groups would be at the top as badges.

If you don’t define a group with the name default_view you do indeed get this, but that means your first tab contains all your entities. In most cases, this is not desirable as it’s the first thing you see when you open HASS.
If you do define a group with the name default_view to clean up that first tab, you lose the ability to spot new entities at a glance, because another tab cannot take over this function from the default_view tab.

That is the reason for this feature request…

I know, I wrote it :smiley:

But my request is to be able to have any tab act like the default one (if the flag is set) and this covers what justyns asked for I think, since all ungrouped stuff will appear at the top of any tab/view where the ‘all’ flag is set?

Lol I didn’t realise that…DOH!

But yup, I think your feature request covers that. If @justyns means he would like to see a tab with just the entities that aren’t part of another tab or group card yet…I can see the sense in that too. It would keep you from having to find them in amongst all the entities you’re already using (in case you use a default_view style tab to show all your entities in an unorganised fashion).

Yeah true - that would also be pretty handy if that’s what he meant :slight_smile:

Sorry, I probably didn’t explain that very well :smiley:

@fanaticDavid is pretty much spot-on. I realize ungrouped items would show up as badges at the top, but groups would show up as cards whether they have been added to another tab or not.

Basically, I wanted a tab/view that would show only things that aren’t displayed on another view. It’d be easier that way to check if there are any entities I forgot to configure/group with something else.

Ok I think I get you. I’ve updated the first post :smiley:

Old conversation but still relevant no? Since i tried to make my default view fancy, but then i loose all the stuff i have not mapped yet.

Another request for this functionality.

How many votes does something like this need to get addressed?

I think the requested feature could solve my problem, too.

I just want to add an icon for the default_view like this:

default_view:
  view: yes
  icon: mdi:home-assistant

After that the icon has changed but default_view stays completely empty.

Couldn’t you achieve setting an icon via customize: ?

group.default_view:
  icon: mdi:home-assistant

Thanks for the hint, but that didn’t work.
group.default_view doesn’t even exist as an entity in “States” in “Dev Tools”.

Man it would be good to get this sorted. I really hate my cluttered ‘home’ tab…

is possible with appdaemon

Is that the same thing though?

hmm, sorry.
i thought this was another topic :wink:
no the home tab from me is also quite full :wink:

never mind, i m quite interested in what you’re showing there :wink: please tell more and share a bit of could if you would? If needed take it to a separate thread for Last Updates…

Thanks,
Marius

i created a topic a while ago about groups.

this group is created with that app
in the meantime i added a sort option for myself.
the last update sensors are created with default appdaemon functions.

if you have any more questions i will be happy to answer them in that topic.

This one is implemented thanks to the introduction of Lovelace! Marking as resolved & closing
