my main display is 7inch raspberry pi touch screen i would like to show in a few different dashboards a camera feed with a few buttons next to it.
I have been messing with the width settings where ever i can find them and I cant find any way to do this.
there is a 3 by 4 grid button thing next to the edit button that i thought would be a way to make a specific viewing grid, but it does nothing
There are various ways, but it still often amounts to trial and error to get it right.
A few tips
Use sections view when creating a dashboard.
Make use of grid, vertical stack and horizontal stack cards.
I am sure others can add to these tips.
Thanks Arh
as far as i can see the grid only does even spacing so 50 50 for 2 and 25 25 25 25 for 4 and so on. I want one thing to take up 88% of the screen and then one button or what ever in the last 12%
You need to be more specific what you mean. Based on what you say though, did you add cards to (in) the grid, or did you add cards and a grid (next to the cards?). If there are no cards in the grid, it is indeed doing nothing.
Use layout card while adding new view from HACS and then specify what size each element should be:
grid-template-columns: 73% 27%
place-content: center
hi Edwin, thanks, that kind of makes sense, Ill see if i can work out which way this page was set up initially.
Hi Dominik
That looks exactly like what i am after. I assume I will need HACS to do this. In an attempt to keep things simple I have been avoiding installing it. Thank you
Don’t avoid running HACS, it is probably the most useful thing to run, it just sits there and rarely if ever causes any issues.
okay Arh, I will give it a go. ive got some people sayting with us at the moment so ill wait till next week, just in case there is an issue. Thank you!
