🔹 fold-entity-row - Hide away stuff in entities cards

First off, This is a great card! Love it!! Any idea how to remove the indent on the nested entities?

Check “padding” property in docs.

Hi All,

I‘ve read the whole thread (I must admit that I didn‘t understand everything), but I didn’t find a solution to define a card-mod that applies to all entities (head and entities).

Currently I use the following code to define it for each entity separately:


type: entities
entities:
  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    head:
      entity: cover.alle_markisen
      card_mod:
        style: |
          :host {
          {% if is_state(config.entity,'open') %}
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
              }
          {%else%}
            --paper-item-icon-color: green
          {%endif%}
               }
    entities:
      - entity: cover.markise_links
        card_mod:
          style: |
            :host {
            {% if is_state(config.entity,'open') %}
              --paper-item-icon-color: red;
                }
            {%else%}
              --paper-item-icon-color: green
            {%endif%}
                 }
      - entity: cover.markise_mitte
        card_mod:
          style: |
            :host {
            {% if is_state(config.entity,'open') %}
              --paper-item-icon-color: red;
                }
            {%else%}
              --paper-item-icon-color: green
            {%endif%}
                 }
      - entity: cover.markise_rechts
        card_mod:
          style: |
            :host {
            {% if is_state(config.entity,'open') %}
              --paper-item-icon-color: red;
                }
            {%else%}
              --paper-item-icon-color: green
            {%endif%}
                 }

Is there a way to define only one card-mod that applies to all entities (head and entities)?

main card-mod thread → 1st post → link at the bottom → f-e-r

Do you mean that one?

hmm, not really fantastic, but yes, this one

well, it could be not obvious from posted examples - but here is your way:

    type: entities
    entities:
      - type: custom:fold-entity-row
        head:
          entity: sun.sun
        padding: 15
        open: true
        entities:
          - entity: sun.sun
          - entity: sun.sun
        card_mod:
          style: |
            :host {
              --paper-item-icon-color: red;
            }

But what I completely missed - you need to check a state…
My fault, let me think a bit.

Check this one:

    type: entities
    entities:
      - type: custom:fold-entity-row
        head:
          entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
        padding: 15
        open: true
        state_color: true
        entities:
          - entity: input_boolean.test_boolean_2
          - entity: input_boolean.test_boolean_3
        card_mod:
          style: |
            :host {
              --state-input_boolean-on-color: red;
              --state-input_boolean-off-color: green;
            }

This is an example for input_boolean, you will need to write a similar code for covers like:

        :host {
          --state-cover-open-color: red;
          --state-cover-closed-color: green;
          --state-cover-closing-color: cyan;
        }

Thank you very much, that helped!

Now this code is working:


type: entities
entities:
  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    head:
      entity: cover.alle_markisen
    entities:
      - entity: cover.markise_links
        icon: mdi:dock-left
      - entity: cover.markise_mitte
        icon: mdi:dock-top
      - entity: cover.markise_rechts
        icon: mdi:dock-right
    state_color: true
    card_mod:
      style: |
        :host {
          --state-cover-open-color: red;
          --state-cover-closed-color: green;
          --state-cover-closing-color: cyan;
        }

Can I ask another question related to this kind of code? How can I hide the state („Aus“ and „Geschlossen“)?:

show_state: false doesn’t work:

  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    head:
      entity: binary_sensor.alle_fenster
    show_state: false
    state_color: true
    card_mod:
      style: |
        :host {
          --state-binary_sensor-on-color: red;
          --state-binary_sensor-off-color: green;
        }

Do not invent options ).
You may try using “custom:template-entity-row” for customizing/not showing a state.
Also, you may hide a state for a standard entity row by card-mod, there should be a ready example on the link I provided above.

I didn‘t invent „show_state: false“, I‘ve found it in other posts! :joy:

Can you give me a closer hint where to find that example?

Someone did not read Docs & posted smth, another guy took it “as is” - this is how fake news are spread)).

No, cannot, sorry, follow the link I gave you, it is there…

„show_state“ is in the GitHub documentation of lovelace-multiple-entity-row :thinking:

This option may belong to many cards - & may be absent for some card, it is normal.

Now I‘ve found that one…

Hiding an icon or a state

…and it hides the state with this code:

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.alle_fenster
    card_mod:
      style:
        hui-generic-entity-row:
          $: |
            .text-content:not(.info) {
              display: none;
            }

But when I add „ type: custom:fold-entity-row“…

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.alle_fenster
    type: custom:fold-entity-row
    card_mod:
      style:
        hui-generic-entity-row:
          $: |
            .text-content:not(.info) {
              display: none;
            }

… it’s back again:

How can I hide the state in this card type?

Do not have a ready example.
Go to card-mod thread → 1st post → that link
Find there examples for fold-entity-row & adapt for your needs.

I‘ve found a solution: I set the the type of the head and the entities to custom:multiple-entity-row and then can use card_mod for them:

      - type: custom:fold-entity-row
        open: true
        head:
          entity: binary_sensor.alle_fenster
          type: custom:multiple-entity-row
          show_state: false
        state_color: true
        card_mod:
          style: |
            :host {
              --state-binary_sensor-on-color: red;
              --state-binary_sensor-off-color: green;
            }
        entities:
          - entity: binary_sensor.fenster_gastebad_contact
            type: custom:multiple-entity-row
            show_state: false
          - entity: binary_sensor.fenster_bad_contact
            type: custom:multiple-entity-row
            show_state: false
          - entity: binary_sensor.fenster_schlafzimmer_contact
            type: custom:multiple-entity-row
            show_state: false
          - entity: binary_sensor.fenster_lilli_contact
            type: custom:multiple-entity-row
            show_state: false
          - entity: binary_sensor.fenster_marie_contact
            type: custom:multiple-entity-row
            show_state: false

I have another question: Shouldn’t child elements of a group that are group parents themselves automatically be expandable as well (without listing them as entities)?

Like with this code:

type: entities
entities:
  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    head:
      entity: light.alle_lichter

I only get this, although all of the children are group parents:

Hi, I’m trying to move everything to the left, and I have to remove the icons, why doesn’t the style work?

type: custom:fold-entity-row  
head:
  type: section
  label: Aperture
  style: |
    :host div#items {
        margin: -100px -200px -200px -20px;
    }
entities:
  - entity: sensor.conteggio_aperture_posta_giornaliere_lettura
    name: Aperture giornaliere
  - entity: sensor.conteggio_aperture_posta_mensili_lettura
    name: Aperture mensili
  - entity: sensor.conteggio_aperture_posta_annuali_lettura
    name: Aperture annuali

Firstly, left padding on this card is managed via an inbuilt setting. See the documentation for details on the padding: key.

Secondly, it looks like you are trying to apply changes via the custom frontend component card-mod: do you actually have it installed? And which version? Since version 3.4.0, all styles need to be under an explicit card_mod key.

If wanting to remove the display of icons from entities for example, then you are probably better off asking this in the dedicated thread for card-mod, where you find detailed explanations and examples, especially in this excellent post by community member Ildar_Gabdullin.
