Entities (camera) in group (view: yes), but still in home page

Configuration
1

Hi

I moved all my cameras entities in a group to be shown as a tab in HA.
I can see the tab and all the camera moved, but they are also visible in the Home tab.
Is it normal or is there a way to have it shown only in the new tab?

My code

  camloc:
    view: yes
    name: Camera
    entities:
      - camera.name1
      - camera.name2
      - camera.name3
      - camera.name4
      - camera.name5

Thanks

You need to set a default view in your groups, else you’ll have the standard one with everything on it.

default_view:
  view: yes
  icon: mdi:home

then list only what you want displayed.

Thanks @lolouk44

This has to be set only at the beginning of the groups.yaml file and then all the groups that have view: yes will be shown only in the proper tab?

PS: just tried, but in this way all my other groups that I want to remain in my Home page disappeared.

These groups have view: no already set.

Is it possible to have only some groups in tabs (the ones with view: yes) and all the others in Home page?

Ok, I’ve got it @lolouk44
I have to add in the default_view all the groups that I don’t want to be in a tab.

  default_view:
    view: yes
    icon: mdi:home
    entities:
      - group.ac
      - ...

What about all the entities that wheren’t in a group and appear normally in the top side as circles?
How can show them and especially the new entities from now on?
Like https://www.home-assistant.io/demo/

Check how I’ve done it

Thanks for sharing.

I don’t see a group for Home, meaning also when there is a new entity added (i.e. a new device scanned by NMAP device_tracker) is there a place where you can see or you just add it to the related group?

Something different.
I see you have Dafang camera controlled by MQTT, I tried with custo fw on it, but the image is lagging a lot so I decided not to use it.
How is the Dafang streaming with custom fw?

https://github.com/lolouk44/homeassistant/blob/master/groups/__Tab_main%20view.yaml
is my home/main group

Once you adopt this, you won’t see new entities automatically added, since you’re manually listing what you want to keep.

Yes I have a DaFang. I use motion to stream as there are issues with FFMPEG
