@4integration, I can relate. I have an insane number of things on my list I can’t find time to get back to.
Hello
I have have also been playing with the custom: Button Card. I currently have my printer ink level and use a linear-gradient background. I wish to use the entity.status to set the % of the gradient.
- background: |
[[[
var ink_level = 100 - entity.state;
return 'linear-gradient(rgb(255, 255, 255) ink_level + '%', rgb(124, 124, 0) 0%)';
]]]
I have got a little stuck as I just cant get the correct syntax to work, and hope someone here can help.
your string isn’t terminated in the right places, and a + is missing:
return 'linear-gradient(rgb(255, 255, 255)' + ink_level + '%, rgb(124, 124, 0) 0%)';
you legend 
Thank you so much. So near, yet so far… Thanks again
Anyone know how I’d add an ‘if’ statement to make the icon green when a secondary sensor (binary_sensor.pet_heston) is on and red when its off? I’m assuming I’d need a template under state > styles > icon > color?
entity: sensor.heston_last_state
icon: 'mdi:cat'
layout: icon_name_state
show_name: false
show_state: true
state:
- styles:
icon:
- color: var(--button-card-light-color)
value: 'on'
tap_action:
action: more-info
type: 'custom:button-card'

you’ve got to be kidding, didn’t you check the button card documentation, or any of the million other card configs in the button-card thread…?
styles:
icon:
- color: >
[[[ return states['binary_sensor.pet_heston'].state == 'on' ? 'green' : 'red'; ]]]
I’m trying to make a battery at a glance card where it will change icons based on charging status and display battery level information. I’m trying to make the template more easily configurable for use with the 2 entities so you just input the entity once and then can do multiple actions with it. This works, but is there a neater way of doing this? (ie. With this methjod I would always have to include a “variables: lvl_entity:” vs just inputing lvl_entity in the top level? I’ll eventually move the code to the template but left it here for visibility.
type: 'custom:button-card'
template: battery_glance
entity: binary_sensor.sm_a515w_is_charging
name: template
variables:
lvl_entity: sensor.sm_a515w_battery_level
styles:
grid:
- grid-template-areas: '"n" "i" "l" "s"'
icon:
- color: |
[[[
var vlentity=variables.lvl_entity
var blevel=states[vlentity].state;
if (blevel > 60) return 'lime';
else if (blevel >= 20 ) return 'orange';
else return 'red';
]]]
label: |
[[[
var blevel=states[variables.lvl_entity].state;
return `
<span><span style="color: var(--text-color-sensor);">${states['sensor.sm_a515w_battery_level'].state}%</span></span>`
]]]
Sure did but templating is not a strength of mine. I’m a hardware guy. Thanks for the advice. Working a treat.

@dredvard, if you need 2 entities you have to use a variable to specify the 2nd entity. I don’t think there is any way around that.
One option to simplify things is to make the entity you use the most in javascript the primary entity and use a variable for the other one. You can simply refer to entity in the javascript for the primary entity: [[[ return entity.state > 60 ? 'lime' : entity.state >= 20 ? 'orange' : 'red'; ]]].

Well, this is extremely frustrating. I thought I had this, but after half a day of trying various things, I’m getting nowhere 
I like your custom HVAC controller, but I wanted something that would fit within a row of custom button cards more easily. All I want to do is have the “climate-button” show the mdi:thermostat icon (easily done), but have the label reflect whether it’s heating, cooling, or idle (in text) with colors (light red, light blue, white respectively). I’d also like the icon to be colored (same colors) for heating, cooling, and off modes.
Here is my latest attempt:
template:
climate-button:
template: standard-button
icon: 'mdi:thermostat'
show_label: true
styles:
card:
- background-color: darkgrey
name:
- color: '[[[ return variables.name_color ]]]'
icon:
- color: '[[[ return variables.icon_color ]]]'
label:
- color: '[[[ return variables.label_color ]]]'
button-card definition:
- entity: climate_thermostat_2
variables:
name_color: >
{% if is_state('climate.thermostat_2', 'heat') %}LightCoral
{% elif is_state('climate.thermostat_2', 'cool') %}LightSkyBlue
{% else %}LightGrey
{% endif %}
icon_color: >
{% if is_state('climate.thermostat_2', 'heat') %}LightCoral
{% elif is_state('climate.thermostat_2', 'cool') %}LightSkyBlue
{% else %}LightGrey
{% endif %}
label_color: >
{% if is_state_attr('climate.thermostat_2', 'hvac_action', 'heat') %}LightCoral
{% elif is_state_attr('climate.thermostat_2', 'hvac_action', 'cool') %}LightSkyBlue
{% else %}LightGrey
{% endif %}
name: "{{ states('climate.thermostat_2') }}"
label: "{{ state_attr('climate.thermostat_2', 'hvac_action') }}"
template: climate-button
type: 'custom:button-card'
aspect_ratio: 1/1.2
Partial success: I can get the Name and Label to show correctly thusly:
- entity: climate_thermostat_2
name: '[[[ return states["climate.thermostat_2"].state; ]]]'
label: >-
[[[ return
states["climate.thermostat_2"].attributes["hvac_action"];
]]]
template: climate-button
type: 'custom:button-card'
Now, if I could just figure out how to use those values to conditionally set the colors…
Also, for some reason, the normal tap action isn’t working on the new button. I have another button with thermostat_2 as the entity and tapping it will open the details/history panel and let me change the state, fan mode, and target temperature. This button doesn’t do that (?)
Look at my template it conditionally sets the colors and even conditionally starts blinking.
battery_glance:

lvl_entity: null
show_state: true

Thanks. What about if I want to use the same entity like in this code. Ist there away to reference the entity or do I need to use variables here as well?

I get “t.entity spli is not a function” if I try return entity.
Yes. That’s the kind of stuff I’ve been playing with. For whatever reason, the Jinja way of expressing it isn’t giving me what I think it’s supposed to. However, the javascript is working (when I get the syntax right 
) I was also having some issues using entity instead of the actual name of the entity so I just gave up on that.
The final issue seems to be what is actually returned when I put in states['climate.thermostat_2].state. It should be ‘heat’,‘cool’, or ‘off’, but conditionals I use never act as though they’re true.
eg:
icon:
- color: |
[[[
if (states['climate.thermostat_2].state == 'heat') return 'lightCoral';
else if (states['climate.thermostat_2].state == 'cool') return 'lightSkyBlue';
else return 'lightGrey';
]]]
So… I basically started over on my Thermostat card. I used the grid-area example (of and rPI monitor card) from here:

The horizontal-stack and blank cards are to get it to fit into my UI space nicely. It looks like this:
and unlike the card I was working on before, this one opens the details/history (more-info) window when you tap on it.
The only thing I haven’t done at this point is to have it use different icons based on whether the mode is heat, cool, or off.
I’ve been playing with the grid card as a replacement for both horizontal and vertical stacks. I’m really liking the results:
There are some specific advantages. It seems a lot less work to line up bits with different column counts. I still have to specify that my groups with three items are “4 columns”, but it creates the blank for me without having to put in a blank card. (The only blank card I use is between the lights on my Living Room Lights group.)
The button-card templates are as ktownsend originally posted them with the exception that I have decreased the font size on the container lables to fit my own tastes. I added a few extra button templates (eg: light-group-button) to set specific icons for on/off states.
I’ve only started playing with making the top three cards into some sort of templates so I could reuse them on other pages without rewriting the whole code over. In addition the Thermostat one cries out for templating if you have a house with multiple thermostats. The option card template looks to be a good example of where to look for ideas.
Here’s the whole code dump, just so you can see how all the bits and pieces fit together.

Good use of the grid. My UI was already stable by the time the grid was introduced, so I haven’t played with grid yet. I like how the explicit column count simplifies getting the widths you expect without blank placeholders.
Yep, used the eather weekend with covid lockdown to play with the button cards.
Beside the actors I still wanted to group my sensors. And it ended up in a smartphone-alike screen per room … thanks to the fact that a using % on a rectangle button card does these fancy curves
In detail it’s a CB per room with nothing in in but several CBs for each entity. (so that I could make use of more-info from all of these.
Though it might fit in here “fun with …” and yeah I had lots of fun.
Especially getting the windrose done which I wanted to rotate against having the directions arrow running around in cicles. Was a bit painful to get this going using custom:canvas-gauge since placement with inthe CB was very strange for me.
Impressive array of charts! The wind gauge looks interesting. What are you using to get all of those measurements, like wifi strength in each room?
Had a handfull of ESP8266 mini d1 boards lying around and added some bme280 sensors and some other sensors. Currently I’m after this idea: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3860911 but it’s a bit tricky to get correct values back from the watermeter.
For the number of charts. I tried the same using apexcharts first since they do look more impressive but this brought my pi4 to it’s knees after 10 charts side by side.
Could be because I’m still a HA noob not really understanding about the advantages of lovelace: YAML mode and !include. Means the code is a real pain, and I must read lots more to prevent redundancy of codeblocks.
As said ealier, the windgauge was a real pain since that custom:canvas-gauge things did show a complete different behaviour as other objects with the buttoncard when it comes to getting this into the expected position. Looks as if my brains too short to get it why this happens.
