Group Control in Lovelace

Configuration
1

Hi all. Is Group Control (i.e., the switch at the top of a Group that can toggle all group members) deprecated in Lovelace? At present, the Control toggle is present, does not work in Lovelace, but does work if returning to the States UI. If this Control is no longer supported, can someone recommend a suitable alternative for Lovelace?

It should work. That’s why it’s there. Having said that, I just tried and you are right, it’s broken. You should open an issue.

ok, done, thanks.

I may be misunderstanding, but Entities Card, with show_header_toggle: true
the header toggle works for lights and switches and (others I’ve tried out) as the entities.

I tried with an entities card full of automations and the header toggle didn’t switch any of them.

Entities Card - Automations…just tried as well and same result as you (i.e. didn’t work).

Me too.
Automations screen that the restart so nicely for some weird reason turned the all to off on a restart, had to turn them on 1 by 1.

Hi, I have an opposite problem. I need to hide group control switch, but control: hidden does not work.
Interesting thing is that some grups have this switch hidden, some not.
Do not understand the sense having it in the weather forecast card, sensors card etc.
Seems to be an issue.

That’s because control: hidden is not how you hide it. This is:

show_header_toggle: false

Also I just tried the header toggle on a card full of switch entities and it worked. So it’s only automation entities that don’t toggle.

I´ve changed it in ui-lovelace.yaml, and no change

  - type: entities
    title: Status
    show_header_toggle: false
    entities:
      - sensor.below_min_remaining_life_sda
      - sensor.below_min_remaining_life_sdb
      - sensor.exceeded_max_bad_sectors_sda
      - sensor.exceeded_max_bad_sectors_sdb
      - sensor.status_sda

Am I doing sthg wrong? :frowning:

11

Nope. That’s correct.

12

Hm, but after that why?

Same behavior for entities cards of automations here. I have two such cards. On one card all the automations are on, but the header switch shows off. On the other some automations are on and some are off, and the header switch shows off. Neither header switch does anything when clicked.

Same for thermostats, just updated the issue at github after finding this post, here is mine from a few hours ago:

This should be fixed in the latest release.

Thanks, do you mean 0.89.2, or in the next upcoming release? In 0.89.2, I find the behaviour is the same.

Must be the next release.
