I have an issue since i updated to latest HA version, the label wont show up:
as you can see in picture below, i have three labels : Fan, Computers & Peripherals, TV
Non of them appearing, i can access the entities , just the label missing.
If you have problems after upgrading to 0.107, update fold-entity-row.
If you still have problems, itâll be down to your browser cache in 11 cases of 10.
To make sure, open your browser console and look for âFOLD-ENTITY-ROW 1.0.1 IS INSTALLEDâ.
If you do not see that - clear your caches.
If you do see that, and it still doesnât work - first try clearing your caches anyway, then ask.
@thomasloven as you donât have âCreate Feature Requestâ on Github, Iâll ask here.
Could you consider allowing a card in head section? It would be really useful and make a lot of new use cases available.
For example, I currently have this (custom:stack-in-card with 6 button-cards inside)
that can be opened if I double-tap on the fan icon
but the top row and the extended view are completely independent entities so to achieve my goal I need to hide the bottom bits (2 fold-entity-rows and one input_boolean) individually using card-mod (or even mod-card) - and thatâs not the nicest way of doing things.
If I had an ability to use my custom:stack-in-card as head card, itâd be much easier, neater and more intuitive as user could see a chevron next to the row (now only I know about that double-tap action ).
By the way, thanks a lot for the hui-element, you created it just in time (I use it to add input_numbers as cards to stack-in-card here)!
Easy! The part up to âBy the wayâ was about feature request for fold-entity-row.
The âBy the wayâ bit was about your new hue-element card - it works like a charm and all input_booleans on the screenshot are added to stack-in-card using that card (without a need of creating an intermediate card for it).
Are you familiar to The Unix Philosophy?
Itâs a set of rules-of-thumb for how the programs in unix based computer systems should work.
The two most important parts are:
Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
Write programs to work together.
I wonât go into detail about all the reasons why this is such a great idea, but the gist of it is that yes, I could add that feature to fold-entity-row, document it, work around it on every future change, fix bugs in it, make sure it keeps up with changes in Home Assistant that would make it break, and make every user download a larger code file every time they reload lovelace. Or I could tell the few people who would want this to use the already existing thing that does exactly this, and you could add one more line of code to your configuration.
You see, thereâs this thing I made that exists purely to put cards where a row is expected, such as in fold-entity-row. Itâs called hui-element, and was mentioned earlier in this thread. Use that.
Ah⊠Do you know what? After reading the docs (and they donât say a lot on head tbh) and seeing this
head:
type: section
label: Nested
or this
head: light.bed_light
I had an impression that it can be only entity_id or special things like section.
My brain is still confused sometimes about all these rows, cards etc.
Now I realise that if we can use section, itâs a row element (not just a name) and yes, itâs possible to put hui-element there.
Thanks for the hint, Iâll give it a go.
Maybe the docs will do with some extra words/example to help people like me understand what head can accept?
UPDATE: yes, it works like a charm. thanks Thomas!
@thomasloven could you give me a hint how to achieve the following:
I use hui-element to add a complex card (custom:stack-in-card with several custom:button-cards inside) as head of fold-entity-row.
Currently if I click on one of the button-card, two things happen:
fold-entity-row folds/unfolds.
More-info dialog of the entity I clicked on appears.
Iâd love to change it so only (2) happens and the fold-entity-row folds/unfolds only if I click on a chevron.
Could you advise me on what can be done here?
When you want more control over the entity you need to define things slightly differently. The entity id itself needs to be preceded by the âentityâ key, your indentation is also a bit off.
Try this âŠ
type: entities
title: Lawn Back Left
icon: 'mdi:sprinkler'
state_color: true
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
- entity: switch.lawn_on_left_zone
icon: mdi:sprinkler
name: Zone status
- type: 'custom:fold-entity-row'
head:
type: section
label: Zone Timer
entities:
- entity: input_number.plant_back_mins_on
name: Timer set for
perfect, thank you so much, you I realised the alignment was a little out as i just typed it in here as an example, i was missing the entity at the front, works perfectly, thank you so much for taking the time to help.
Maybe I am missing something really obvious, but it is frustrating me.
Using this code, I get a nice folding card with light entities and cover controls, but when I would like to create a list of sensors with one specific sensor âabove the foldâ, it gets me an error (Cannot read property 'map' of undefined / type: 'custom:fold-entity-row' / head: sensor.diesel_u with / being a new line).
What am i missing here?
# This works fine
- type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
margin: 0px 14px -5px 14px;
}
entities:
- type: custom:fold-entity-row
head: group.lampen_woonkamer
- light.eetkamer_level
- binary_sensor.door_contact_2
- binary_sensor.door_contact_1
- cover.zolder
# This doesn't work - the header errors out but the 4 rows are shown (not folded)
- type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
margin: 0px 14px -5px 14px;
}
entities:
- type: custom:fold-entity-row
head: sensor.diesel_u
- sensor.diesel_u
- sensor.diesel_z
- sensor.benzine_u
- sensor.benzine_z
EDIT: And by typing this and looking at it again, I suddenly appears to me that I forgot to specify the entities key:
It does not appear possible at this time. Guess Iâm waiting for the icon configuration variable to be added section, but I was hoping thereâd be a way to fudge it for now. Thanks for the link.
