Entities card with lock confirmation text and colored icon problem

[moostmartijn (Martijn)]

I’m struggling with this entity card and a lock entity for the last couple or hours;

            - type: entities
              entities:
              - entity: lock.loqed_achterdeur
                name: Achterdeur

              - type: conditional  # ACHTERDEUR LOCKED
                conditions:
                  - entity: lock.loqed_achterdeur
                    state: 'locked'
                row:
                  type: button
                  name: Achterdeur
                  entity_id: lock.loqed_achterdeur                       
                  action_name: 'ONTGRENDELEN' 
                  icon: mdi:lock                   
                  tap_action:
                    action: call-service
                    service: lock.unlock
                    service_data:
                      entity_id: lock.loqed_achterdeur
                    confirmation:
                      text: Wil je de achterdeur ontgrendelen?

              - type: conditional  # ACHTERDEUR UNLOCKED
                conditions:
                  - entity: lock.loqed_achterdeur
                    state: 'unlocked'
                row:
                  type: button
                  name: Achterdeur
                  entity_id: lock.loqed_achterdeur
                  action_name: 'VERGRENDELEN'
                  icon: mdi:lock-open-variant 
                  tap_action:
                    action: call-service
                    service: lock.lock
                    service_data:
                      entity_id: lock.loqed_achterdeur
                    confirmation:
                      text: Wil je de achterdeur vergrendelen?

I would like to have a confirmation text, which I think is necessary, when locking or unlocking a lock AND a yellow colored icon whenever the state of the lock is ‘unlocked’.

The confirmation text doesn’t seem to be possible with the normal - entity: lock.loqed_achterdeur and with a conditional card there is no possibility to color the icon. I tried card-mod but that doesn’t work with conditional cards unfortunately.

Is there another option to have a confirmation text AND a colored icon?

I think the Lovelace Restriction Card meets your criteria: https://smarthomepursuits.com/how-to-create-a-lovelace-restriction-card-in-home-assistant/

Check again in a corresponding thread.

Which corresponding thread do you mean excactly? Could you share the link to the thread/post?

Card-mod - Add css styles to any lovelace card

This is not a custom card. Instead it’s a plugin which changes the way all other cards work How about this? type: entities style: | ha-card { color: red; } entities: - light.bed_light - light.ceiling_lights - light.kitchen_lights [51] Not a custom: in sight. Or this? [mov] (Please click this gif to open it. It seems to be prone to artifacting when compressed) Or how about changing what happens when you click the name or icon in an entities-card? FANTASTIC POST BY ILDAR…

And because I use a row instead of a card it doesn’t work. Or I must be missing something but I can’t figure it out… Maybe you can clear it up.

I posted the link to the thread where these issues should be discussed. Otherwise we got 100500 threads about similar questions(((
In short - for some cases like vertical-stack etc try using mod-card. Or specify a style on the Entities card’s level.

Thought this forum was also for helping each other out with (mis)configurations. Thanks for your… help, I guess… Will try to figure it out, but just can’t get it to work.

Card-mod can be a real pain. This is a working example with color changing icon and confirmation text:

type: entities
state_color: true
entities:
  - type: button
    entity: input_boolean.test
    icon: mdi:lock
    name: Lock
    style: |
      :host {
        --paper-item-icon-color:
          {% if states('input_boolean.test') == 'on' %} red
          {% else %} yellow
          {% endif %};
      }
    action_name: run
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      confirmation:
        text: your text
      service: input_boolean.toggle
      target:
        entity_id: input_boolean.test
