Frame/Grid

In VB there is a frame object, it’s like a grid card. What’s cool about the frame is it has it’s own properties for how it looks. This helps group things into a type. e.g. Lights or Motion.
Wondering if this can be added to home assistant?

I find it a bit hard to understand what you are missing.

Home Assistant is made to be modified, so it is set up with frameworks and modules that allows a modification to make a change in only one place and have to come in to effect on all the pages.
You can go a bit against this though. There are modifications that make this possible, like card_mod.

BTW. remember to vote for your suggestion!

Thanks for the reply… Yep definitely ha is infinitely modifiable! And I love it!
But I just keep thinking of core features that could allow beginners to make more intuitive dashboards without hacs, also hacs add-ons seem to burn me from time to time. e.g. card_mod not working on google hub and or updates breaking them.
Filling a whole screen with buttons, there is no native way to visibly group them. Grid card has no Title entry. That would help some.
It’s just a thought if it’s a easily added card or it could be as easy as adding a Title and different back color to the Grid card.
Thank you again.

Home assistant improves leaps and bounds every month and it’s exciting every time :slight_smile:

Horizontal and Vertical stack cards are the way to go.
Add a vertical stack card and set a Markdown card first where you make your title, then set the cards you want below.
I think actually 90% of my lovelace cards are Markdown cards, because they are so flexible.

Grid card does have a title, for some reason, not exposed in the UI, but adding in yaml does not prevent use of the UI.

Grid cards are very flexible, and basically able to replace both horizontal and vertical stacks. However, stacks can be clearer, if you work in the ui, as nested grids get confusing. In YAML, it’s as easy with either.

Great info guys ! Thanks ! Maybe the back color can be changed with a different theme. I just haven’t figured out how to use themes yet.

Again card_mod is the solution.

Again card_mod doesn’t work everywhere. google hubs ignore the mod.
