Gauges in grid card don't use page width

Hi folks!

I’ve just been trying to add a page with some gauges to my dashboard and I’m getting strange behaviour from the grid card, not using the full page width (indeed, less than half of it).

Here’s a really simple YAML sample that illustrates the problem:

square: false
type: grid
cards:
  - type: gauge
    entity: sensor.solar_dc_power
  - type: gauge
    entity: sensor.solar_battery_power
  - type: gauge
    entity: sensor.solar_feed_in_power
columns: 3

This produces a set of 3 gauges side-by-side, which is fine, but they sit in the top/middle of the page and use only a fraction of the available width.

How do I get these to use the full width? I can’t see any difference in the grid card definition vs other pages of the dashboard which do use the full width, only that this one contains gauges while the others don’t. Hopefully just something I’m missing, but I’m stumped!

Can anyone help me to work out how to make these fill the page?

Thanks!

Edit the TEMP view and set it to “panel” mode.

That simple! :joy: Thanks Tom!

You can/should only use one card in panel mode but the grid card counts as one card (even though it contains multiple cards), so all good.
