Groups and Views?

Dayve67 · January 29, 2017, 12:54pm

Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have made groups and trying to display them into a view. But every time I and the line of code view: yes it makes the view tab but all the entities show up at the top as badges. I would like to see them in the block format. See part of my config below.

group:
default_view:
view: yes
entities:
- group.Main_Floor
- group.Kitchen
- group.Doors
- group.Weather
- group.Dark_Sky
- group.Media
- group.Outside
Main_Floor:
name: Main Floor
entities:
- climate.thermostat
- light.great_room_level_4_0
- switch.great_room_rec_switch_3_0
- switch.hall_light_switch_2_0
- light.dining_room
- light.kitchen_light_level_5_0
- light.front_outside
- sensor.speedtest_download
- sensor.speedtest_upload
Kitchen:
name : Kitchen
entities:
- light.dining_room
- light.kitchen_light_level_5_0
Doors:
name: Doors
entities:
- lock.front_door
- cover.garage_door_opener
Weather:
name: Netatmo
view: yes
entities:
- sensor.netatmo_indoor_temperature
Dark_Sky:
name: Dark Sky
entities:
- sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature
- sensor.dark_sky_daily_summary
- sensor.dark_sky_hourly_summary
- sensor.dark_sky_minutely_summary
- sensor.dark_sky_icon
- camera.ontario_radar

Use preformatted text when posting YAML

When you add a sensor to a view without adding it to a group, it’ll display at the top. So add the sensors to a group, add that group to a view (group with view:yes). Some helpful info here:

This is very interesting. I had views working fine, then did some rework of my GUI and now, I’m in the same situation as you are.

What ever I do with Views…everything shows up as badges, not as Views (or tabs) as I had it before. This is really strange. I followed the guide on “Bruh Automation”. Done exactly what he did but still, badges instead of “tabs”.

I need help solving this.

Post the YAML of your groups configuration.

hja · April 27, 2017, 5:47pm

Using an include from configuration.yaml for this file:

group: !include groups.yaml

First that follows are the group declarations, further down you’ll find the Views. With this exact config… no “tabs” (views) shows up in HA

Can you give an example of a sensor that’s showing as a badge rather than on a card?

Are you saying that all of the sensors in sensorer are showing as badges?

hja · April 27, 2017, 5:54pm

It’s very weird, i was testing the exact same config 2 days ago… and I had badges for all sensors. Commented out the Views and just re-enabled. Now I have no badges at all. Can’t explain wtf is going on

But I also don’t have any Views.

hja · April 27, 2017, 5:55pm

Also, trying to change the GUI using the built in tools, from group to View doesn’t work. It keeps loading and loading and loading and never finishes.

ih8gates · April 27, 2017, 5:57pm

Yeah - the first and only time I tried using the config option, it didn’t seem to work for me.

I’m wondering if indentation has anything to do with it. All of the groups in my groups.yaml start on the left - no indentation at all.

My gut feeling is that your indentation should be fine as long as it’s consistent within the file, but maybe not…

hja · April 27, 2017, 5:57pm

ih8gates:

Just restarted HA… after a reboot, it looks like this with the VIEWS enabled.

What is interesting to note is that all switches in the “Switches” card are hidden in my customization chapter… how the heck can they be shown… something is colliding or conflicting between groups and views and customizations?

ih8gates · April 27, 2017, 6:03pm

I’m not sure what you mean by “with views enabled”. Do you mean when you uncomment those entries (from #Views and down )

I wonder if making a change by using the config panel caused problems. Have you tried removing the indentation so that everything starts at the left column?

hja · April 27, 2017, 6:03pm

All validated using VS Code while writing the config, also checked with yaml lint 100% ok

ih8gates · April 27, 2017, 6:06pm

And starting in the 1st column? (top-level entries aren’t indented?)

Did the items that were hidden with “customization” reappear at the same time? Was this right after using config: for the first time?

hja · April 27, 2017, 6:08pm

Exactly, with enabled I meant uncommented.
The image you see above when all looks wierd and badges are appearing is when the views are uncommented.

Commented, HA looks normal.

hja · April 27, 2017, 6:51pm

Fixed! Indentation issue and implementation of alarm clock

Antonio_Santos · August 1, 2017, 11:18pm

Hello guys! It may seem too basic for you guys, but I cant find out how to group these two “cards” into on to be named Cenários! Any helping hand!?!?

ChadCurvin · August 2, 2017, 5:54am

Hi Antonio,

Something like this might work:

Cenaros:
  entities:
    - switch.frente
    - switch.fundo
    - switch.meio
    - automation.apresentar
    - automatino.coversar

And if you wanted it on a separate tab instead of/in addition to a single card, just add:

view: yes

Hopefully that helps!
-Chad

Thanks a lot! Cheers!

Hey, how do I activate the configuration for Groups & Views in hass.io?

DerSpion · October 21, 2017, 10:22pm

I was about to ask the same question. I know it was there, but I haven’t had a chance to work on my system for some time (premature newborn and wife in ICU). Now everything is back to normal, I go into my GUI and POOF Groups & Views is missing from the configuration screen.

Am I missing something?

::UPDATE::
Found it…kind of… Configuration -> Customization

I hate it, wish we still had the “Groups & Views” tab…
