Hey everyone I have a video feed that is only enabled when I’m not home. I want to use the entity card when I’m there and the picture glance when I’m not. Is there a way to dynamically switch? I’ll ultimately base it off if a service is running.
Thanks for any help!
You might be best to create two cards, one with the feed and one with the picture glance—then use an automation trigger to display one when you’re home, and the other when you’re not.
Thanks for the suggestion I essential did this with the condition cards here:
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: input_boolean.motion_service
state: "on"
card:
type: picture-glance
title: Living Room
entities:
- switch.candles
- switch.living_room_fan
- group.living_room_lamp_lights
- group.living_room_fan_lights
- camera.living_room
camera_image: camera.living_room
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: input_boolean.motion_service
state: "off"
card:
type: entities
title: Living Room
entities:
- switch.candles
- switch.living_room_fan
- group.living_room_lamp_lights
- group.living_room_fan_lights
but I’m open for suggestions if there are better solutions. Thanks for the reply!
nice, where did you find the conditional card? i havent seen that
I used a conditional card to show 3 different cards that were all similar. I have 2 zones on my receiver with separate volume levels. If zone 1 is on, I only want to see zone 1’s volume. If zone 2 is on, i only want to see zone 2’s slider. If both are on, I want to see both. This is the config I used:
- type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: picture-glance
title: Yamaha Receiver
entities:
- switch.zone_1
- switch.audio_1
- switch.zone_2
- switch.audio_2
image: /local/images/rxv677.png
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: switch.zone_1
state: 'on'
- entity: switch.zone_2
state: 'off'
card:
- type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_number.yamaha_receiver
name: Volume
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: switch.zone_1
state: 'off'
- entity: switch.zone_2
state: 'on'
card:
- type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_number.yamaha_receiver_zone_2
name: Volume
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: switch.zone_1
state: 'on'
- entity: switch.zone_2
state: 'on'
card:
- type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_number.yamaha_receiver
name: Zone 1 Volume
- entity: input_number.yamaha_receiver_zone_2
name: Zone 2 Volume
this is what it looks like:
all off:
zone 1 on:
zone 2 on:
zone 1 and 2 on:
Okay cool yeah so it seems like the conditional cards are the way to go to dynamically show something. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
I suggest looking into the custom card vertical stack in card to also get the card with sliders to “belong” to the other card. Haven’t got a link right now, but Google it and otherwise hit me up later
hey I’m trying to do this but with my 2 Roombas and my 1 bravva jet and was wondering how to make the cards all stay in one place when i use it the cards have a mind of their own and can be told to be in the same place
Maybe because of the size of the cards changing that much?
Easiest option: try to fixate the card in a stack or grid…
thank you that helped me and now i dont need to make another lovelace
