I’ve been trying to have the fold entity next to an “Outside Lights” group switch, but just can’t seem to get it working. #thomasloven has an example pictured on his github but no code.
Include the entity in the head
key. This should generate Thomas’ s example you have shown:
entities:
- type: custom:fold-entity-row
head:
entity: light.all_lights
entities:
- light.bed_light
- light.ceiling_lights
- light.kitchen_lights
Thanks, but I tried the following and where the toggle switch would be, just left of the fold, it says “unknown”
type: entities
entities:
- type: 'custom:fold-entity-row'
head:
entity: group.all_lights
entities:
- switch.bbq_accent
- switch.path_lights
- switch.guest_patio
Maybe you shouldn’t put the fold-card inside an entities-card?
That’s the only place you can use it.
That is not true. It is a card by itself, that doesn’t need anything around it.
I just made this card with my entities:
type: entities
entities:
- type: 'custom:fold-entity-row'
head:
entity: group.all_lounge_lights
entities:
- light.lifx_lounge_entrance_lamp
- light.lifx_lounge_front_left
- light.lifx_lounge_front_right
- light.lifx_lounge_middle_left
- light.lifx_lounge_middle_right
- light.lifx_lounge_rear_left
- light.lifx_lounge_rear_right
Are you sure your group exists and that you have the correct entity id?
Ha Ha, I can’t believe I’m one of them .
Apologies…
I’ve been using them bare for quite while without problems. But I don’t use any special features.
Yeah, definitely the group is correct. Here is my code that works perfect without the fold-entity, but has the master group switch.
type: entities
entities:
- entity: group.patio_lights
name: Patio Lights
- entity: switch.pool_patio
- entity: switch.driveway_path_lights
- entity: switch.driveway_string_lights
- entity: switch.fountain_neon
title: Outside Lights
state_color: true
I pasted tom_l’s code and modified it with my devices
type: entities
entities:
- type: 'custom:fold-entity-row'
head:
entity: group.all_lights
entities:
- switch.bbq_accent
- switch.guest_patio
But here’s how it looks:
Can you show your group configuration for group.all_lights
?
Try this to prove it is a problem with that entity:
type: entities
entities:
- type: 'custom:fold-entity-row'
head:
entity: group.patio_lights
entities:
- switch.bbq_accent
- switch.guest_patio
From groups.yaml
all lights:
name: all lights
icon: hass:lightbulb
- switch.pool_patio
- switch.driveway_path_lights
- switch.driveway_string_lights
- switch.fountain_neon
- light.pergola_string_lights
- switch.path_lights
- switch.bbq_accent
- switch.upper_lawn
- switch.guest_patio
- switch.front_patio
- switch.shop_patio
This should not have a space in it:
all lights: ####<--------- Replace the space with an underscore _
name: all lights
icon: hass:lightbulb
- switch.pool_patio
- switch.driveway_path_lights
...

Rookie mistake, but fixed my group formatting, restarted, & still same issue with “unknown” instead of the toggle. BTW, thanks for the help. This is now:
all_lights:
name: all lights
icon: hass:lightbulb
- switch.pool_patio
- switch.driveway_path_lights
- switch.driveway_string_lights
- switch.fountain_neon
...
It’s still not right.
all_lights:
name: all lights
icon: hass:lightbulb
entities: ### <------ you are missing this
- switch.pool_patio
- switch.driveway_path_lights
- switch.driveway_string_lights
- switch.fountain_neon
OMG! I’m such a newb! Thank you sooo much!
